The Shock of the Obvious
The internet and media erupted again as screenshots circulated of a post shared by The White House’s official account; an image depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys and one of the oldest and most vicious racist tropes in Western history. The reaction was swift outrage, disbelief, condemnation, and a wave of headlines asking how such a thing could happen in 2026. But for many people, especially those who have followed Trump’s public life for decades, the real surprise wasn’t the post itself. (https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=4918487&page=1)

Video I found on Tiktok
Transcript below if you’d like to read along while it plays. ”I used to wonder how it was possible that Trump could have won in 2016 and then again in 2024, given how emotionally toxic, morally vacant, and psychologically mangled he is.

Shabana Mahmood: Teething Troubles with One in, One Out Deal.
Keir Starmer did a deal with French President Emmanuel Macron. The agreement is one in, one out. In other words, we send a migrant back to France, and we accept one from France. Or at least that's the basic theory of it. So illegal migrants can be removed from Britain, and an equal number can come to Britain via the legal route. However, some have questioned the logic of this. Surely a sound policy would be stop or at least deter migrants from crossing the English Channel in the first place. The Channel is the busiest or one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, so dinghies stacked up with people are taking a hell of a risk. There have been no collisions with shipping as far as I know; however, dinghies have capsized with fatalities. Mr. Starmer was also supposed to be cracking down on the gangs exploiting migrants, but how well that has gone, I cannot say.
