WATCH: Workers finally tear Donald Trump's name off Kennedy Center
Workers began tearing Donald Trump's name off the Kennedy Center Friday, carrying out a federal court order his own lawyers had scrambled overnight to block. A federal judge ruled last month that the renaming was flatly illegal. U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper said Trump's hand-picked board never had the authority to put the president's name on the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts — because Congress created it and only Congress gets to rename it. The lawsuit was filed by Rep. Joyce Beatty, an Ohio Democrat who sits on the center's board as an ex officio member.
This plan will make Trump's birthday his most miserable yet
The White House is currently obscured by a giant UFC Octagon ahead of Toddler Trump’s 80th birthday party on Sunday. Of all the mortifying things Trump has done, this has brought the kind of global embarrassment that can’t be calibrated by even the most advanced of scientific instruments. Shirtless men are going to beat the crap out of each other in front of what’s supposed to be a symbol of leadership.
Now, it’s the White Trash House.
Idris Elba Just Explained Why He Doesn't Think A Black James Bond Is A 'Realistic Thing'—And It's Pretty Depressing
For more than a decade, Idris Elba has been one of the most popular fan-cast choices to play James Bond. But in a new interview, the British actor suggested that racism—not a lack of talent, interest, or fan support—helped make the prospect of a Black 007 feel unrealistic from the start.
Speaking with British GQ, Elba offered an unvarnished take on why the long-running Bond rumors never amounted to anything more than speculation.
Red states push conservative rebrands of Pride month in backlash to LGBTQ+ celebrations
Republican states rebrand June as ‘nuclear family month’ or ‘fidelity month’ in latest attack on LGBTQ+ communities
June is widely marked as gay Pride month – when LGBTQ+communitiesmarchto protest discrimination and celebrate their identities in the month that the modern US gay liberation movement was born out of the1969 uprisingat New York’s Stonewall Inn – although not so much in certain Republican-led states this year.
GAYS BEATEN BY RUSSIAN POLICE
LGBT+ people have been arrested & beaten in the Russian republic of Karachay–Cherkessia. They are accused of participating in an "extremist organisation", engaging in "non-traditional practices" & spreading so-called "prohibited ideology".
The arrests signal a dangerous new phase in Russia's persecution of sexual minorities, where vague charges allow authorities to criminalise LGBTs for merely expressing their identity.
This homophobic witch-hunt echoes the anti-LGBT+ pogrom in Chechnya, where gay men were detained, tortured & murdered. No one should face arrest or violence because of who they love.

Young, ambitious and out of work: ‘I’ve gone from Oxford to zero jobs. It’s a bit of a fall’
About 1 million 16- to 24-year-olds are not in employment, education or training – and the obstacles they face are bigger than ever. Those unemployed for a year or more explain how they are coping
The US is pleading with the EU to not develop their own defense industries.
This is the same US that has lambasted Europe for not spending enough on their own defense, for decades. More importantly, it’s the same US that is now threatening Europe and other allies (Canada included) with takeover of their territories to be annexed into the US itself. So please don’t sell those Gripen jets, they make sales of our F-35’s fall. Completely self-ignorant behaviour.
RIOTS IN IRELAND
This is where the government immediately turns it all on its head and reports on the riots and forget totally about the reason why the riots are happening in the first place, and this recent attack was the cherry on the cake - People ARE SICK AND TIRED OF BEING IGNORED by the government SICK OF NOT BEING HEARD - SICK OF BEING BETRAYED BY OFFFICIALS WHO THEN CALL ANYONE COMPLAINING - FAR RIGHT.
Governments are taking countries down paths the people have not requested and are standing against and yet the authorities ignore the people and just do what they want and in Ireland, they have shown their disgust at being ignored and then treated as the problem by officials. Clearly, the authorioes haven't a clue, not a faintest clue.
The government needs to stop and open its ears and listen to the people and - enough with excuses and woke attitudes and enough with housing immigrants and leaving our own homeless on the streets. When the people see the government taking the country down a path they see as SELF DESTRUCT and speak out - we, the people are the ones arrested and again, called Islamaphobes - Racist - Far Right and we all know who the real offenders here are, and it is not the rioters on the streets who are just sick and tired of being ignored and patronised.
We know from history the power of PEOPLE POWER and how it can topple governments and despots and the rule of law must win out over bullies, racists and bigots screaming at others for being racistm, bigots and bullies.
People are delighted by Mel C’s “stunning response” to a question on speculation she’s gay
People are calling the former Spice Girl a “true ally” for the way she handled the question.
Folks online are delighted by Spice Girl Mel C’s response to a question on speculation around her sexuality in the nineties, when the Spice Girls were at the height of their fame. The exchange took place on the Mitch Churi Chat Show podcast earlier this month. Churi, who is gay, asked Mel, whose full name is Melanie Chisholm, if she would “get accused of being gay” due to being the “sporty” member of the group.
Is this the oldest documented queer couple in history?
In the mid-1960s, one archaeologist made a discovery in Egypt that defied explanation. On an Saqqara dig site revealing an artifact from the Fifth Dynasty [2494–2345 BC], evidence of what would appear to be a same-sex union unveiled itself in the form of a joint tomb. On the walls of that tomb, royal manicurists Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum could be seen locked in an eternal, face-to-face embrace.
Ian McKellen leads Commonwealth homophobia protest!
Israel’s ethnic cleansing plan for Gaza!
Last Saturday, Ian McKellen joined LGBT+ refugees & campaigners to launch the Commonwealth Walk of Shame in London. They marched to the High Commissions of 8 of the 29 Commonwealth countries that criminalise LGBTs. Six have life imprisonment. Three have the death penalty. Marchers urged Commonwealth leaders to repeal colonial-era anti-LGBT+ laws. READ MORE | SUPPORT OUR WORK
What’s the point of the Commonwealth if the majority of member states defy the human rights principles of the Commonwealth Charter?
A new survey shows that the United States is not viewed as an ally by an overwhelming majority of Europeans eighteen months into President Trump’s second term. The European Council on Foreign Relations surveyed residents of 15 European countries and found that the 11 percent of Europeans who still view the U.S. as an ally is an all-time low, down from 16 percent last year and 22 percent during former President Joe Biden’s final year in office.
I know malignant narcissists, and I know how they think, Remember: They can’t love. But they sure can hate.
Trump knows that most New Yorkers have, for years, understood him to be the lying, corrupt, morally bankrupt imbecile he is. They loath him (just like his parents did, by the way. His father was a notorious A hole who treated everyone around him-including family-like dirt).
Trump knows he’s loathed in New York.
He knows they know him to be despicable.
I think Trump saw his chance (no doubt, a staff member mentioned just what a nightmare it would be if he wanted to go to the game) and was a chance to give a big “F you” to the city and all its citizens.
“They might despise me, but they’re still going to bend the knee-whether they like it or not. They’re going to shut the city down and wait three hours in security. I am the top of the heap.”
I’m certain this very sadistic man loved every moment every New Yorker was inconvenienced.
I can’t stand even looking at the guy, but you have to admit one thing: He really does do it his way.
More gay and bi men are donating blood than ever before
Written by Poppy-Jay St. Palmer
The surge follows a change in the eligibility criteria for England, Scotland and Wales that was introduced in 2021.
In the 1980s, queer men were completely banned from donating blood to prevent the transmission of HIV after the AIDS crisis. In 2011, the ban was then lifted, but queer men wanting to donate had to adhere to strict rules, including a requirement to abstain from having sex with another man for 12 months prior. That period was then reduced to three months in 2017.
Trump thanks himself in post about his takeover of part of Lincoln Memorial
President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday to announce the completion of work on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool — and used the occasion to both thank himself by name and note that a stretch of the historic monument's grounds would henceforth bear his name. "Thank you President Trump, thank you Department of the Interior," Trump wrote, crediting his own administration in the third person before pivoting to the news buried in the post: the forthcoming "Trump Promenade at The Lincoln Memorial."
Donald Trump, at 1:00 PM: “We will impose sanctions on China because it buys Iranian oil.”
China, at 1:10 PM: “We do not care about you. We do not recognize U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil purchases and we will not comply with them. We have trade agreements with Iran, and we strongly warn Trump not to interfere in our affairs. Trump should know that he is not the president of China, much less a Chinese ancestor.”
3 men assaulted a trans bartender. Now she’s facing felonies for defending herself.
She was attacked and then pulled a gun on her assailant.
A transgender bartender in Laramie, Wyoming, who pointed her gun at a man she says hurled gay slurs at her and threw her to the ground, is headed to trial on felony assault and gun charges. If convicted, she could face up to 15 years in prison.
Ríhanna Kelver says she was acting in self-defense after the man, accompanied by two companions, taunted her and knocked her to the crosswalk where the confrontation took place on a downtown street in Laramie. Video evidence shows Kelver pulling a handgun from her satchel and pointing it at the man after the attack.
Trump signals he's ready to quit
Can you feel it? There’s something weird in the air, and I think I’m perfectly justified in tossing out this piece of unfounded conjecture based on sheer gut instinct: Donald Trump is suddenly acting like a man who is about to quit his job. Wishful thinking? Quite possibly. But he doesn’t seem like he’s having any fun lately, and that’s the whole ball of wax for a guy like Trump who carries no actual ideology and no sense of duty or mission when it comes to the country whose interests he has been tasked with protecting as its president.
I'm no lay psychologist, but it says something that Trump is STILL pissed about losing the election to Joe Biden, even almost six years later. He has a deep-seated complex about this..he just can't let it go. It seems to me that if he were to even once acknowledge his defeat by Biden, it would crush him. Like an aluminum can under the wheels of an 18-wheeler. So to quite literally protect his mental health, he persists in believing the fantasy that he lost due to widespread Democratic voter fraud. It's a face-saving thing for Trump; perhaps a sanity-saving thing, as well. He also hates anything Obama facilitated and is set to destroy and replace - but his version of replacement is to destroy and then put his name on it as a success when it is not.. HR.
Americans are dealing with a war in the Middle East, high gas prices, and rising costs across the board. Meanwhile the president is holding a cage fight on his front lawn. JP

Meghan Markle’s two demands before reconciling with Kate and William
The ongoing rift within Britain’s most famous family shows little sign of fully healing—and now, new claims suggest that Meghan Markle has set firm conditions before any reconciliation with Prince William and Princess Kate can even begin.
Years after stepping back from royal duties, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain at odds with senior members of the monarchy. While there have been occasional reports of olive branches extended from London, the underlying tensions appear far from resolved. READ MORE HERE
SORRY TO SAY IT, BUT MEGHAN IS A WORLD CLASS FOOL. A VILE HUMAN BEING. SHE REALLY HAS FUCKED THEM BOTH OVER AND HIM BEING SO WEAK, JUST GOES ALONG.
Hegseth hammered for his 'disrespectful' D-Day speech in Normandy: 'Shameless'
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth used the 82nd anniversary of D-Day to compare migrants crossing the Mediterranean to the Nazi invasion of Europe — and the backlash was immediate and bipartisan.Greg Bagwell, a retired British Air Marshal and former senior RAF commander, was among the first to respond. "The commemoration of the bravery, tragedy and importance of D-Day is not ever the place to try and score cheap political points. What an ignorant and disrespectful dumba--."
This idiot probably thought D DAY stood for himself like Trump thinks everything he does is all about him...So is Hegseth named after one of these - DOUCH BAG - DUMBASS - DELINQUANT - DIPPSHIT - DEFECTIVE DOPE - DECEIPTFUL - and how about one of my favourite words to describe him - CUNT.
So it doesn't start with a D, but it says so much more than all the others put together...
Oh dear, here we go again. Another MAGA dim wit. Not a clue... not a damned clue. For fucks sake....
I'm afraid that when your president decides to:
1. Invade Venezuela.
2. Threaten to assimilate Canada into USA.
3. Threaten to assimilate Greenland.
4. Invite indicted war criminal Putin to Alaska.
5. Publish an NSA strategy, threatening Europe.
6. Bomb Iran. Then lie about ‘destroyed’ nukes.
7. Go back again to ‘destroy’ destroyed nukes.
8. Suppress the promised Epstein files.
9. Mock various ‘allied’ leaders.
10. Bypass congressional approval.
11.Insult your own troops as loosers.
12.Mock the disabled, even retired Vets.
13.He wants 1.8billion $ to give to those who criminaly broke into the WhiteHouse.
Let's not forget he mocks the disabled, sees soldiers killed in action as loosers - thinks tariffs are paid by the other country - and is a felon with scores of felonies behind him. He is a crook. No better than a mafia don.
He has publicly stated he doesn't care about the people of America, the economy or the fact millions of Americans are struggling BIG TIME while he wastes hundreds of millions on a ballroom, a reflective pool, and this imagined arch.
Good News: His name is being take down from thE Kennedy Centre and removed from all web sites connected to it and he has beem told, well and truly, YOU CANNOT BREAK THE LAW AND JUST DO WHAT YOU WANT.T.
Now maybe you can clearly see why the USA is now viewed with suspicion, distrust and frustration. If you genuinely can't see that for yourself, then I'm afraid you are either very naive or you're in a cult and part of the problem.
The rest of the world laughs at Americans behind their back and y simply don't get it. Trump is laughed at by the world. America has lost EVERYTHING good it stood for and America is now seen as a doomed county NEVER to revive what Trump has destroyed, as we the people of the world, don't need you, we have the rest of the world and that - which Trump forced us all to look at, and so we did, and that is a multi billion loss for America. Millions of jobs and business will close, recession will hit, people will go hungry and cold, the huddled masses yearning to breath free - will be and are being - iognored and left to rot and as for the tired and the poor - in government, who gives a shit ( Quotes from the Book held by the Statue of Liberty - below. )
The New Colossus
By Emma Lazarus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
You make, and take, from the news that which you wish to see and hear. You observe what you want and comment of things that affect you personally. If you don't like something, do not read it and move on but do not shy away from what IS going on in the world of which - you are a part. World news is so easy to find these days and differing opinions not hard to find. Having an opinion is vital and being a ' don't care' person helps no one. So open your mind - open your heart - open your awareness and ALWAYS be open to new ideas.
