Zack Polanski: Open to Andy Burnham Pact.
Zack Polanski, a firebrand leader of the Green Party who has moved the party to the far left, has said he is open to a pact with the Labour Party. Only if Sir Keir Starmer is no longer the Leader and Prime Minister. First, Andy Burnham ( Polanski has expressed a willingness to work with him if he becomes leader and prime minister), who is still the current Mayor of Greater Manchester, will have to contest the seat of Makerfield. And if he is elected to parliament can join the race to challenge Sir Keir Starmer's leadership of the Labour Party.

WW3 Coming Soon
WW3 Coming Soon The fear of a Third World War has returned to global discussions because of rising political tensions, military conflicts, economic rivalry, and growing mistrust between powerful nations. Many people wonder whether humanity is moving toward another devastating global conflict similar to World War I and World War II. While there are many causes of international tension, experts believe one major reason could again lead the world into great wars: the struggle for global power and dominance.

Hegseth: the most colossal insult to Veterans from the First Draft-Dodger and His Compliant Congress
I visited the Veterans Cemetery this morning where my Dad is buried. It was a stirring sight. Twenty or more full-size flags lining each side of the driveway— saluting in the gentle breeze the honored dead, veterans and their spouses buried there. And then a miniature flag at the edge of each veteran’s gravestone.

MAGA versus an American
It was hot but the breeze keep it comfortable. The sun was beating down intensely, but a sky filled with puffy clouds broke up that assault. The elderly man got out of his car to fill his tank. He sighed when he looked at the price inching ever closer to five dollars. He took a moment to access an app on his phone. He had earned some points, and he wanted to cash them in to get a discount on gas prices if he used the card associated with the application. He barely noticed the large pick up pulling up on the other side of the pump.

When Intent Is Unprovable, Outcomes Still Matter
Accountability Cannot Depend on Mind Reading One of the most effective defenses a powerful system can use is the demand for provable intent. When harm becomes visible, the answer often comes quickly: nobody meant for this to happen. No one intended harm. There is no evidence of malice. That response can sound reasonable because intent does matter. A deliberate act is morally different from an accident. Motive can clarify the character of an action. But intent cannot be the only doorway into moral judgment, especially when the system being judged is large enough to hide motive behind layers of process, policy, delegation, and institutional language.

Immunity and Practical Unaccountability
In theory, no one is above the law. This phrase is repeated often enough that it functions as a civic mantra, a reassurance that power is ultimately constrained and that authority remains accountable to the same moral and legal standards imposed on everyone else. On paper, police officers, prosecutors, and government agents are subject to the law just like any citizen. They can be investigated, disciplined, sued, or prosecuted when misconduct occurs.
