The #president who calls himself the ‘world’s coolest dictator’ says he just scored the largest #election win in history. ElSalvador’s Nayib #Bukele suspended civil liberties to conduct a sweeping crackdown on gang violence which proved popular with voters. #nayibbukele #elsalvador🇸🇻 #sansalvador #news #breakingnews

“That’s what you see on your TV screens, whether Nish Kumar in the UK or Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert or Trevor Noah in the US, feeding you their political opinions through the medium of unfunny moral lectures, is the very pinnacle of human creativity – and if you believe otherwise you’re probably evil and immoral. Whether it’s flat-out denial, wilful ignorance or a classic case of ‘nothing to see here, folks!’, the modern left refuses to acknowledge how comedy is being shut down by puritanical scolds who need to lighten up and relax. So I’ll do it on their behalf.” (from “An Immigrant’s Love Letter to the West” by Konstantin Kisin, Peter Lloyd)

Australian police is investigating after videos emerged of yesterday's gathering in front of the Sydney Opera House where crowds of Hamas supporters were chanting "gas the Jews".
