      The by-election in Rutherglen and Hamilton West, Scotland, triggered by SNP politician Margaret Ferrier's COVID rule violation, is an important indicator for upcoming political battles in the area. The seat, which has a small majority, is surrounded by a dozen SNP and Labour-fighting constituencies. Meanwhile, in Europe, a tragic incident involving a people smuggler throwing migrants into the sea after a brawl on a dinghy resulted in 12 people falling into the water but all were rescued. This incident highlights the dangerous journey migrants undertake and the importance of proper safety equipment. The highest number of migrants crossing the English Channel per boat was recorded last month, emphasizing the need for effective border control and safety measures.

    Ep. 889 It’s Worse Than You Thought
    Don’t miss this show. In this episode I address explosive new connections in the Obama administration’s efforts to spy on the Trump team. I also address inconvenient facts liberals choose to ignore about the immigration crisis and our exploding national debt crisis.    News Picks: Geraldo and I got into a heated debate about immigration last night on the Sean Hannity show.   Was LTG Mike Flynn framed? Who was behind it?    The liberal argument about the wealthy paying their “fair share” is nonsense. These numbers prove it.   Hollywood hypocrites were flanked by armed security as many of them fight against your Right to own a firearm.    A troubling new poll indicates that Democrats are now more positive about socialism than capitalism.    This piece points out the uncomfortable irony of the Democrats’ vile attacks on President Trump.  Learn more about your ad choices.
