Meghan and Harry Admit They Weren’t Married in Secret Before Royal Wedding
A spokesman for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has admitted that the couple’s claim that they were married in secret before the public wedding was not true.

The spokesman made the admission two weeks after Meghan and Harry had told Oprah Winfrey they were married privately by the Archbishop of Canterbury three days before the multimillion-pound public ceremony at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in May 2018.

Yesterday the MSM and Social Media were going apeshit and constantly mentioning that a white guy had shot 10 innocent people, but today, after finding out he was a Muslim Syrian immigrant they are virtually silent about this fact. I wonder why?

Because truthful reporting is not to be found in mainstream media only spin and narrative that fits their political agenda and shill creatures in this thread are happy to parrot this stuff and cover for them.

A tech giant powerful enough to stop an elected president from speaking to the people is a frightening thing. If one isn't frightened by it, then they just haven't thought about it enough.

That's election interference and a lot worst than what the Russians supposedly did, but Democrats are OK with it because it was done against Trump and thousands of important Conservative voices.

They don't seem to realize that they are playing with fire... it will backfire on them someday and I have a sneaking suspicion that karma is gonna be very violent... when that happens!

That old straw man... nobody here is against immigration. They are against illegal and uncontrolled immigration, like ever other sensible country in the world. No country benefits from uncontrolled immigration.

So far as using immigration (or population growth) to pay off debts - that is a bad idea. There are limits to population growth. If your financial plan depends on endless population growth, the problem is with the financial plan itself. The grifters running Japan are trying to convince the public that a reduced population is a disaster that must be fought against - but the real disaster is that they spend too much money. More population just papers over the problem and passes it on (in even worse shape) to a future generation.

America will escape it debt by collapsing the US dollar. That's the way it's always done.

Thanks for explaining this simple yet difficult concept for some to understand. Your patience is something else America already has a legal immigration program and having and open border policy only hurts taxpayers and dilutes the wages of the poorest while benefiting any entity breaking the law and employing undocumented while paying them unnaturally low wages.

Not long ago our barefoot and pregnant gal of the north had her panties in a knot over DHS transporting immigrants for processing too close to Canadian border Another time quoting Canadian anthem and changing it to "stolen land". Hope her issues get successfully addressed without self medicating

Maybe American conservatives can explain this sudden push by dems, media and other shills trying to pin the history of racism in US on conservatives. Maybe Big tech is enabling this arrogant attempt to rewrite history while it silences every conservative voice and dissenting opinion.

History of the Democratic party; slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, KKK, lynching, Japanese internment, eugenics and forced sterilizations.

History 101 -

The Civil War started because of uncompromising differences between the free and slave states over the power of the national government to prohibit slavery in the territories that had not yet become states.

The Ku Klux Klan was founded in 1865 by Democrats who wanted to maintain control in the South. President Abraham Lincoln had been fighting to end slavery and naturally the Confederacy was Democrat.

Abraham Lincoln was a Republican - his presidency was the first exercise in 'US Big Government'. He also floated the idea of re-colonizing blacks to Central America, Haiti or Siberia even.

What a disaster and only 60 days in
Biden is 'dismantling' the 'Trump-era' policies that worked so well

Biden is 'dismantling' the 'Trump-era' policies that FAILED so miserably

Trump's health-related policy failures and social schisms enabled his election. Trump exploited low and middle-income white people's anger over their deteriorating life prospects to mobilise racial animus and xenophobia and enlist their support for policies that benefit high-income people and corporations and threaten health.

He chose judges for US courts who are dismissive of affirmative action and reproductive, labour, civil, and voting rights; ordered the mass detention of immigrants in hazardous conditions; and promulgated regulations that reduce access to abortion and contraception in the USA and globally. Although his effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act failed, he weakened its coverage and increased the number of uninsured people by 2·3 million, even before the mass dislocation of the COVID-19 pandemic, and has accelerated the privatisation of government health programmes.

Trump's hostility to environmental regulations has already worsened pollution—resulting in more than 22 000 extra deaths in 2019 alone—hastened global warming, and despoiled national monuments and lands sacred to Native people.

Disdain for science and cuts to global health programmes and public health agencies have impeded the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, causing tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths, and imperil advances against HIV and other diseases. And Trump's bellicose trade, defence, and foreign policies have led to economic disruption and threaten an upswing in armed conflict.

His appeals to racism, nativism, and religious bigotry have emboldened white nationalists and vigilantes, and encouraged police violence and, at the end of his term in office, insurrection.

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)32545-9/fulltext

Faced with the pandemic, Trump suppressed scientific data, delayed testing, mocked and blocked mask-wearing, and convened mass gatherings where social distancing was impossible. Despite the mounting threats of COVID-19 and global warming, he pulled the U.S. out of the World Health Organization and the Paris climate accord. He installed industry insiders in regulatory posts tasked with protecting Americans from environmental and occupational hazards with regulatory rollbacks. He tried, but failed, to repeal the ACA, then bent every effort to undermine it, pushing up the number of uninsured Americans by 2.3 million. He denied entry to refugees fleeing violence, abused immigrant detainees, and penalized immigrants for accessing basic social services.

Trump's And Biden's Plans For The Environment

Key priorities:

Joe Biden

• Combat climate change by pushing the United States on a path toward net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, with an intermediate goal of ridding the power sector of carbon pollution by 2035.

• Invest $2 trillion over four years in green areas, including infrastructure, transportation and auto industries, housing and construction practices, nature conservation efforts and work in environmental justice.

• Create 1 million new jobs in the auto industry, boosting electric vehicles.

• Build 1.5 million "sustainable homes."

Donald Trump

• Bolster the country's oil and gas industries, and the supply and production of those energy products.

• Continue rolling back Democratic environmental regulations.

Gas prices have gone up 30% since Biden was elected.

People who have been vaccinated are still required to wear mask. Schools are not open.

The southern border is being over run with illegal immigrants while Bide pays $6 million a day to NOT BUILD THE WALL.

Biden is spending $71,700 per family to house illegal immigrants in hotel rooms for six months.

Inflation and unemployment threaten to cancel all gains the poor and middle class made under Pres. Trump's policies.

Biden canceling the keystone pipeline while supporting the pipeline from Russia to Germany has killed 11,000 good paying jobs.

Ford is moving another factory from the USA to Mexico.

Joe Biden got lost walking from Airforce 1 to Marine 1, refuses to be interviewed by the media and has issued a memo the "Biden Administration" will now be called the "Biden-Harris Administration".

I get it. Unfortunately it's going to get worse before it gets better (if it ever does), since we've been sweeping these problems under the rug for years...in truth, the majority didn't begin with Trump, as they've been compiling for decades. I've been working in the environmental field for nearly 40 years, and only recently has the muzzle finally been taken off as BIG industry lobbied governments to ignore the science...and the far-right say they've been silenced, lol.

The genie has been let out of the bottle...
