The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been given the ‘South Park’ treatment once again, this time by Seth McFarlane’s Family Guy.

In an episode from the newest series of the cartoon satire which aired on Sunday, main character Peter Griffin compares himself to the royal couple, who stepped down as working members of the British Royal Family in 2020 to move to the US.

Sitting in a bar with his friends as he thinks of ways to retrieve money he is owed, Peter Griffin says he’ll ‘go it alone’ – just like the Sussexes.

Biden administration officials are far more worried about corruption in Ukraine than they publicly admit, a confidential U.S. strategy document obtained by POLITICO suggests.

The “sensitive but unclassified” version of the long-term U.S. plan lays out numerous steps Washington is taking to help Kyiv root out malfeasance and otherwise reform an array of Ukrainian sectors. It stresses that corruption could cause Western allies to abandon Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s invasion, and that Kyiv cannot put off the anti-graft effort.

The expansion of BRICS reflects a striking shift in the global balance of power.

The BRICS summit in Johannesburg this week represents a potentially significant moment in the shifting, fragmenting world order.

BRICS – an acronym for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – is an economic bloc made up of the fastest-growing developing countries. From the very moment of its first summit in 2009, this bloc has positioned itself as an alternative to the G7 bloc of advanced economies, made up of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US.

BRIC’s has been described as a collection of failed states, if so can the G7 be described as a collection of incipient failed states?

WTF?

I am a retired senior. My parents and I have lived through 47% of the time since 1776 when the country was founded, 54% including grandparents. At that time, the family was defined as a husband, wife, biological children, and extended family. Today many seniors had parents who experienced World Wars I and II, the Roaring ’20s, the Great Depression, and Franklin Roosevelt’s “New Deal.” Personally, I have memories of World War II and the Korean, Vietnam, and Iraq wars; civil and gay rights; and technology advancements. Together we have experienced 21 different presidents. Our family history is a cornerstone example of American citizenry, including Irish and German immigration. Families gained great wisdom and knowledge from life. They made a huge investment in their country, facing hardships and wars, and they kept the faith. Families have a history of uniting, and together they now realize our country is in serious trouble. A radical and corrupt government agenda has focused on changing the American family that we know and love.

The driver of the Russian army lorry would not have noticed the rifle barrels protruding from the roadside foliage. Far from the border with Ukraine, he was speeding along a deserted country road towards the city of Belgorod.

He may not have heard the first shots clatter into the cab as the six-man Ukrainian special forces team opened fire, sending the lorry jolting off the road and into the tree line, where it came to an abrupt halt. The Ukrainians emptied their magazines into it: they were a long way from home and could take no prisoners.

There is a fascinating passage in Rising Star, David Garrow’s comprehensive biography of Barack Obama’s early years, in which the historian examines Obama’s account in Dreams from My Father of his breakup with his longtime Chicago girlfriend, Sheila Miyoshi Jager. In Dreams, Obama describes a passionate disagreement following a play by African American playwright August Wilson, in which the young protagonist defends his incipient embrace of Black racial consciousness against his girlfriend’s white-identified liberal universalism. As readers, we know that the stakes of this decision would become more than simply personal: The Black American man that Obama wills into being in this scene would go on to marry a Black woman from the South Side of Chicago named Michelle Robinson and, after a meteoric rise, win election as the first Black president of the United States.

Yet what Garrow documented, after tracking down and interviewing Sheila Miyoshi Jager, was an explosive fight over a very different subject. In Jager’s telling, the quarrel that ended the couple’s relationship was not about Obama’s self-identification as a Black man. And the impetus was not a play about the American Black experience, but an exhibit at Chicago’s Spertus Institute about the 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann.

What a slime.

The Gatestone Institute accuses the WEF of trying to replace governmental systems in Western nations with totalitarian Chinese Communist Party-style sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology.

On Friday, the Gatestone Institute’s J.B. Shurk issued a warning that the WEF’s plan will result in a tyrannical system in which “a small group of elites bark orders and ordinary citizens dutifully obey.”

It’s no longer 1937.” This seems to be Rachel Zegler’s catchphrase when speaking about her role as Snow White in the upcoming live-action remake of Disney’s first animated feature film. She says it with contempt. With raised eyebrows and an eye roll.

The original film is “extremely dated,” Zegler adds, in a recently resurfaced video from the 2022 D23 Expo. It leaves no room for “women being in roles of power” and is incredibly limited in its depiction of “what a woman is fit for in the world.” In other words, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is trash — horribly outdated and unforgivably anti-feminist. Good thing film historian and fairy tale scholar Rachel Zegler is here to set us straight.

Snow White will flop just as the West Side Story remake flopped and both will have had Miss Zegler playing a significant role in their failure.

Hopefully Snow White will prove career ending.
