That’s not a typo – 5 degrees Celsius of potential error. Only 19 pristine Class 1 sites remain capable of measuring actual ambient air temperature accurately. The rest? Located on airport runways, walled gardens, next to main roads, and inside solar farms. Places where concrete, engines, and infrastructure create artificial heat islands that have nothing to do with atmospheric temperature changes. The Met Office database also contains data from over 100 stations that don’t exist. They’re using “estimated” temperatures from unidentified neighboring stations and presenting it as real data. When journalist Ray Sanders started asking questions through Freedom of Information requests, the Met Office dismissed them as “vexatious” and “not in the public interest.” After media inquiries, the Met Office quietly removed estimated data from 3 non-existent stations. Of 17 new sites opened since April 2024, nearly 65% were immediately placed in the worst quality categories. UK Science Minister Lord Patrick Vallance is calling scrutiny of this mess “misinformation” that weakens trust in science. Perhaps what actually weakens trust in science is using temperature readings from imaginary thermometers next to jet engines to justify trillion-pound Net Zero policies that reshape the entire economy. The data might be fine for tomorrow’s weather forecast. Using it to revolutionize Britain’s energy infrastructure? That requires stations that actually exist. https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/2003537920624677163?s=20 https://twitter.com/JeffPasquino/status/2003667251426197766?s=20   dollars” already – language and words are important – but this time the difference will be to the benefit of stablecoin holders. “But if it is pegged to the dollar, why will it matter?” you might wonder. That's a great question. The difference will be that today's bank accounts are in Federal Reserve “dollars”, which are debt-based, inflationary and losing value at a rapid pace. The new digital dollar stablecoins will be backed by gold or other assets (yet to be defined, but it's clearly how they're heading) and the purchasing power will go up. This is the first step out of the debt-based system enslaving most Americans – and by extension of the world reserve currency, most everyone in the Western world. People will eventually see that the asset-backed “digital dollar” is far superior to the Federal Reserve dollar. Once noticed, stablecoin dollars will be hoarded while Fed dollars will flood the market (Gresham's Law). No one will want the dying dollar -or any debt denominated in it – and much like the rise of gold and silver now against the Fed dollar, the digital dollar will also rise in value. Then everyone will transition, by choice, to an asset-backed currency without even knowing why they want those new dollars – they will just know that they hold value better. In other words, the “digital dollar” will actually be a store of value – evidence that it is actual money, not just a currency. Fix the money, fix the world.

The hunter becomes the hunted. For his long association with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is facing a long list of repercussions that seem to have no end. Now, the avid hunter has surrendered his firearms license to the Met Police – the same police force who dropped the investigation into his alleged crimes. The Telegraph reported: “The former Duke of York, 65, agreed to give up his firearms and shotgun certificates last month after he was visited by the Metropolitan Police at Royal Lodge in Windsor.   Andrew in Sandringham on the lap of five redacted women – presumably Epstein victims.

Imran Ahmed of the Center for Countering Digital Hate is also on the list. He had a very specific mission. Want to know what his organization’s annual priorities were? Internal documents show “Kill Musk’s Twitter” at the top of the list. Not “reduce hate speech” or “improve online safety.” Kill Twitter. Destroy the platform entirely because Elon wouldn’t play ball with their censorship demands. These groups operated by labeling anything they disagreed with as “misinformation” or “hate speech,” then lobbying governments to force platforms to remove it. Clare Melford’s Global Disinformation Index used U.S. taxpayer money to create scoring systems that effectively blacklisted conservative American news outlets, steering advertisers away from them to financially strangle speech they opposed. Breton personally sent threatening letters to Elon warning of consequences under EU law right before his live interview with Trump during the campaign. Now the banned activists are claiming this is an “authoritarian attack on free speech” and calling it “immoral, unlawful, and un-American.” These are the same people who built entire careers pressuring tech platforms to silence voices they found problematic. Suddenly they care deeply about censorship when it affects them. Free speech isn’t negotiable. It’s not something governments should regulate away because certain viewpoints make them uncomfortable, whether in Europe or America.

The Somalians have nice cars like BMWs and Mercedes @Brookerteejones “Here in Minnesota, a local realtor reached out to me to tell me about another way that Somalians are scamming Minnesotans out of their taxpayer dollars. In her community alone, Somalians have bought up over 455 homes. They buy these homes claiming they’re turning these homes into home health care centers. She says the way we know Somalians have bought these homes is because all of a sudden extremely nice cars start showing up. Mercedes, BMWs, the nicest cars are parked in the driveway. She said, by law, the state will not come out and inspect these homes and make sure these homes even have clients living in these homes. — Somalians have bought that home and they’re using that as a home health care center. She said these homes can even take people in who’ve just been released from jail and the neighborhood does not need to know about this. But she says, many of these homes do not even have clients in them. But the state is writing them checks every month for the clients that the Somalians say are in these homes. These Somalians are making millions of dollars off of these homes every year.” “The Somalians have figured out exactly the perfect plan as to how to scam Minnesota taxpayers out of their money. They are banking on this making millions of dollars and the government here in Minnesota is too lazy to go and check it out and to see if there’s even clients living in these homes.

Recall that Mark Zaid represented Eric Ciaramella, the Trump-Ukraine impeachment ‘whistleblower.' Zaid also represents intelligence officials and other Deep State actors. Earlier this year, President Trump stripped the security clearances of at least eight corrupt ‘antagonists' who worked for Biden or targeted him for ruin over the last several years: Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken Former NatSec Advisor Jake Sullivan New York Attorney General Letitia James Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg Biden's Deputy AG Lisa Monaco Corrupt prosecutor Andrew Weissmann Deep State lawyer Mark Zaid Norm Eisen – the man behind all the lawfare against Trump Source: thegatewaypundit.com Jamie Raskin Reintroduces Radical “Ranked-Choice Voting” Scheme Ahead of Midterms in Latest Bid to Rig Future Elections Radical left-wing Jamie Raskin is once again pushing a sweeping overhaul of America's voting system, this time by reintroducing a federal mandate for so-called “ranked-choice voting” (RCV) just as the country barrels toward another high-stakes midterm election cycle. Raskin posted a video on X on Monday, pitching ranked-choice voting as a cure-all for American politics. The video was released after he reintroduced H.R. 6589, a bill that would mandate ranked-choice voting in elections for the U.S. House and Senate nationwide. Under the system, voters rank candidates in order of preference. If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, the lowest vote-getter is eliminated and ballots are “redistributed” to remaining candidates until someone crosses the 50 percent threshold. Raskin even praised races where candidates who finished second in the first round ultimately “catapulted ahead” after vote redistribution. In Alaska, where RCV flipped a Republican seat to Democrat Mary Peltola despite 60% of voters backing GOP candidates, the system exhausted ballots and ignored second choices for top vote-getters. In New York, socialist Zohran Mamdani led on election night with 43.5% of first-choice votes, but after several rounds of eliminations and redistributions, he was declared the winner with 56%, while Andrew Cuomo finished with 44%. A study of Maine elections found that, of 98 recent ranked choice elections, 60 percent of the victors did not win by a majority of the total votes cast. RCV opens doors to fraud and manipulation. The multi-round tabulation delays create gaps ripe for accusations of tampering, while exhausted ballots mean winners often lack true majority support. Sites like RCVScam.com expose how it lets initial also-rans steal victories, undermining “one person, one vote.” In 2025 alone, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, and South Carolina prohibited ranked-choice voting, joining 11 other states for a total of 17 bans. It is a scam, and Americans should push back hard. Source: thegatewaypundit.com  Supreme Court Rejects Trump Bid To Deploy National Guard In Chicago The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected Trump’s emergency request to allow National Guard troops to be deployed in Chicago, dealing a setback to the admin’s attempts to curtail high crime rates in major cities. The 6-3 decision left in force a judge's ruling that has blocked the deployment since Oct. 9. “At this preliminary stage, the government has failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois,” the majority said. The government hadn't shown the president could legally “federalize the Guard in the exercise of inherent authority to protect federal personnel and property in Illinois.”   Justice Samuel Alito dissented from the high court's ruling Tuesday, saying he had “serious doubts” about the majority's reasoning. “The Court fails to explain why the President's inherent constitutional authority to protect federal officers and property is not sufficient to justify the use of National Guard members in the relevant area for precisely that purpose,” Alito wrote, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote a separate dissent, contending that the challengers to the National Guard deployment – the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago – had forfeited the argument about the meaning of “regular forces” by failing to present that issue in the lower courts. Trump contends military force is needed to protect federal immigration agents from what he claims are violent protests.   Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2003592327244447867?s=20   cause the President to use the US military more than the National Guard”. The Supreme Court just admitted that Trump has the authority to invoke the Insurrection Act to bypass Posse Comitatus and send the troops to Chicago, and any other city he wants. Trump tried to exhaust every legal avenue possible before resulting to the Insurrection Act, but the Dems resisted and refused to cooperate. Sounds to me like Trump just got the green light.

Especially when the MSM are compromised and telling the public that Trump is literally Hitler and is going to unleash a military dictatorship. This had to be done delicately, as not to cause panic. The public must be psychologically prepared. That's why Trump has been giving us soft disclosure about the Insurrection Act for a long time. They have been mentally preparing us for what they knew had to be done, by showing us why it needed to be done. Here he is back in September addressing all his Generals, and reminded them how Washington and Lincoln used the military to keep the peace.

Episode Description: "Project Thaw" exposed—alleged plot to bring Harry back involves educating Archie/Lilibet in UK schools. Deep Crown destroys the premise: "Does anyone seriously believe Harry would place an ocean between his children and their mother? He's constructed his entire post-royal identity around not repeating Diana's experience." Kate vs Camilla explodes—Queen "astounded" Kate entertaining Harry reconciliation, source claims "poisonous showdown at palace" where Camilla called Kate "naive and reckless." TIARA WARS: Kate wears Oriental Circlet with 2,600 diamonds/rubies at State Banquet, deliberately overshadowing Camilla. Source: "Camilla was hopping mad, said it was another blatant attempt to hog the limelight." Deep Crown: "Catherine isn't preparing to be Queen—she's already performing the role. That tiara was making the subtext text. Camilla faces uncomfortable reality that if Charles recedes, her relevance recedes with him.Catherine represents everything Camilla never managed: youth, public adoration, unassailable position." Meghan DELETES Thomas Markle's phone number—no plans to visit dying father in Philippines. Swedish Princess Sofia confirmed introduced to Epstein 2005—declined Caribbean trip invitation. Andrew stripped of final military rank, demoted Vice Admiral to Commander. Spitting Image mocks Meghan's "woke marmalade"—Paddington puppet warns "she needs to watch her back." Andrew moving to Sandringham "shoebox," sources describe "clutter turning move into months-long room-by-room excavation." Kate/Pippa rift speculation—Pippa missed carol service, was "diving off yacht when Kate had surgery." Sarah Ferguson's alleged spending: $1.1M annually including $32.5K in ONE HOUR at Bloomingdale's.Harry denies calling Archie "African child," accuses Tina Brown of "inventing words." New Epstein WhatsApp messages released: "$1000 per girl," "18-year-old from Russia." Kate pledges support to William for 2026 monarchy overhaul. Plus: Kate stepping back from Harry/William reconciliation, Archewell rebranding to "Philanthropies," and week palace factions crystallized.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Further questions are raised about Andrew Mountbatten Windor's links to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell after US authorities release a photo of the former Prince lying across some women's laps at Sandringham. Also: President Zelensky says the US has proposed fresh face-to-face negotiations between officials from Ukraine and Russia. Manchester City move up to the top of the Premier League standings. And: a German engineer becomes the first wheelchair user to go into Space.

The announcement shook Britain — King Charles formally stripped his brother of every royal title and honor. Prince Andrew, once the Queen's favorite son, became Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

I know you shouldn't count your chickens before they hatch, but can we just take a minute to look at the good economic news coming out? Government books aside, tomorrow's GDP read will show we bounced back with a spring in Q3 - close to 1 percent growth, they reckon. What's more, that shocking read for Q2 should be revised down because it wasn't actually as bad as the topline number we were given to begin with. Today, consumer confidence is on the rebound. This is according to the Westpac McDermott Miller survey. It's up 5.6 points - to its highest level this year. Still slightly below 100 - which means more are still glass-half empty than full, but it's going in the right direction. As are Seek job ads and as are most of the numbers that move first when a recovery is underway. Now, I say all of this completely aware that we've been here before and fired a blank. We've had many a false dawn and false start. But barring any major cock-ups, this recovery feels like its real and happening. The missing ingredient of course is house prices, which are either sideways or backwards for most regions. That's the liquor in your Irish coffee that really gets things moving on the economic front. But this recovery will happen without it. It won't be soaring property prices that give birth this recovery, it won't start in an auction room with the hammer going down on a $44 million two-beddy in Sandringham. What's going to drive this recovery, and make it a very gradual one, is confidence in our agricultural exporters, our lower mortgage rates, and, I think - more than anything - a feeling that we're just sick of being in this position. The ironic truth of it is that in order to get us out of the malaise, we must spend money, rather than save it. We must go out and buy stuff. So this Christmas, take that confidence to your nearest shopping mall. Tonight, I'm doing exactly that. Westfield is open till 10pm. I've found a tent, I've been eyeing it up today, and I'm ready to push play on summer and on spending and an economic Christmas miracle.

Meghan Markle is reported to have deleted Thomas Markle's phone number and has no plans to visit him as he recovers in a Philippine hospital following a leg amputation, despite a letter said to have been hand delivered to him this week. Sources question why she will not call, while Page Six claims she has no trip planned, as the Sussexes prepare for a Montecito Christmas and an overseas New Year's getaway. Meanwhile, Prince Andrew is stripped of his final remaining military rank, formally demoted by the Defence Council, as renewed Epstein scrutiny swirls again. The Metropolitan Police also says it will take no further action over allegations Andrew sought information about accuser Virginia Giuffre. Add in fresh reporting on Andrew's looming exit from Royal Lodge, including a temporary “shoebox-sized” stop at Sandringham and claims of a slow, room-by-room clear-out, and it is another messy chapter for the York story.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

King Charles and Queen Camilla have been invited to Washington, DC for a State Visit in April at President Trump's request, though the King's health may determine whether he travels. William and Kate are expected to visit the United States in July for America's 250th anniversary, while Harry and Meghan are not expected to take part in any commemorations. Questions are again being asked about royal finances as scrutiny turns to Prince Edward's long-term lease of Bagshot Park. Charles donates £50,000 of his own money toward urgent roof repairs at West Newton Church, a site closely linked to Queen Elizabeth the Second. A Brazilian self-styled “Living Nostradamus” offers dramatic predictions about royal health, family reconciliation, and even Meghan's relationship with Netflix. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor prepares for an eventual move from Royal Lodge and faces uncertainty over where the late Queen's corgis will live. Princess Anne hosts a Christmas tea for veterans, earning praise from guests aged 100 and older. And Mike and Zara Tindall shut down speculation about appearing on Strictly Come Dancing, confirming they'll instead spend Christmas at Sandringham — though perhaps avoiding certain family members.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

The Thomas Markle saga takes another surreal turn as The Royalist reveals claims that someone on Meghan's team suspected his leg amputation might be a hoax — a charge Thomas's friends call “disgraceful.” Meanwhile, commentator Melanie McDonagh unleashes a blistering broadside, accusing Meghan of abandoning her father in his hour of need and comparing her behavior to King Lear's most heartless daughters. Elsewhere, Prince Harry reportedly courts Jennifer Lopez for an Invictus Games cameo, while biographer Andrew Lownie suggests even the King and Princess of Wales' health woes may be worsened by the strain caused by the monarchy's “spares.” And over at Sandringham, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor digs in with an eyebrow-raising list of demands, sparking new scrutiny of royal housing perks and who pays what.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

"I'm a magnet for madness. Other people's madness." It's Kristen-mastime on the podcast! Going into the holiday season, we are looking back at some of our favorite roles of Kristen Stewart on the podcast. We're starting our holiday season with one of Kristen's most acclaimed and watched  Spencer from 2021. The second in the trilogy of Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín's iconic women of history, Spencer is the ultimate swing for the fences, kooky, and non-traditional biopic its subject needed. It's a queer holiday classic that we never knew we needed in our lives, and got Kristen an Oscar nomination for best actress. Presented as "A fable from a true tragedy," we follow Diana Spencer visiting the in-law royals at their Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England. A bizarre and oddly moving portrait of mental health and a marriage in crisis, this ain't your Queen Mum's biopic! Seriously, most of this movie plays as a straight-up horror movie complete with ghosts of Anne Boleyn, haunted houses, scarecrows, and body horror that would belong in a Cronenberg movie. We talk about how pitch-perfect Kristen is here and how much she nails Diana, Princess of Wales's mannerisms. Our fascination with everything about the Royals and their portrayal in pop culture.  Thank you for listening, and don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna

From a twenty-foot Nordmann fir glittering in St George's Hall to recycled tinsel, charity stockings made from old Sandringham curtains and a special Radio 4 appearance by the King from Dumfries House, we take you inside the Royal Household's Christmas season. We revisit the royal family's Sandringham traditions, from Christmas Eve gifts and church at St Mary Magdalene to black-tie dinners and cards signed months in advance, and look at how King Charles the Third is blending sustainability with nostalgia. Then we track a busy second day of the German state visit, from quiet reflection at the Tomb of Queen Elizabeth the Second to Guildhall banquets, school visits and speeches at Westminster – a reminder of how royal Christmas pageantry and quiet diplomacy now sit side by side.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Meghan Markle is said to be “devastated” after a Thanksgiving turkey video sparked online fury over her kitchen hygiene, just as lukewarm buzz around her Netflix holiday special raises questions about whether a third season will ever happen. We look at reports that the Sussexes are suddenly keeping a lower profile, the Real Housewives of London cast's frosty reaction to the idea of Meghan joining the show, and new claims that Prince Andrew wants £75 million, a replacement Sandringham home and full support staff before he'll even think about leaving Royal Lodge. Plus, we've got fresh reporting on a possible public inquiry into the Andrew lease deal, his and Sarah's apparent absence from Christmas at Sandringham for a second year running, an Eric Clapton date on the Sandringham estate, and why today's German state visit optics have some observers saying William is already acting like the monarchy's de facto operational leader – as Queen Camilla quietly says goodbye to her “hot” equerry Major Ollie Plunket.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Bombshell allegations emerge that Queen Elizabeth knew Andrew brought prostitutes to Buckingham Palace for years but did nothing—as a Church of England vicar questions if she had a "blind spot" for her favorite son. Andrew spends his final Royal Lodge days "ranting to himself" while Sarah Ferguson drowns her fears in a purpose-built bar called The Doghouse, talking about "dark forces" targeting them. The disgraced royal must now bow to his own daughters and faces demands from Congress while making outrageous staffing demands before his Sandringham exile. Sarah reportedly considers selling Diana's private letters as a "secret weapon." Meanwhile, Poppygate erupts as Meghan attends a Kardashian party without a remembrance poppy while Harry wears one, sparking fury. William reveals Charles denied his request to scale back duties during "the hardest year" and feels betrayed by the Beckham knighthood timing that stole his Earthshot thunder. Plus: the floodgates open as palace staff come forward, Hollywood declares the Sussexes "hopeless," and Kate gets BBC name controversy at Remembrance service.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Prince Andrew has become the royal family's permanent embarrassment—a man so toxic that even his own relatives now keep him at arm's length. Once the Queen's beloved son and a fixture at royal gatherings, he is now the pariah of the monarchy, stripped of his military titles, patronages, and any semblance of public duty. His name alone evokes scandal, his presence a reminder of the Epstein catastrophe that refuses to fade. Invitations to official functions quietly stopped arriving, and the palace's inner circle made it clear that his rehabilitation was off the table. The man who once strutted with entitlement now shuffles through Windsor's halls in isolation, a ghost among royals who would rather pretend he isn't there.Even family holidays have become awkward exercises in avoidance. At Christmas and Easter gatherings in Sandringham and Balmoral, Andrew's presence is reportedly tolerated, not welcomed—a concession to bloodline rather than affection. He is kept out of official family photos, and the public is carefully shielded from any image that might suggest he's been forgiven. Behind the palace walls, he eats with a smaller group or arrives late to avoid uncomfortable encounters, while his siblings maintain polite distance. Once the Queen's “favorite son,” Andrew is now the relative no one wants to sit next to—a man whose downfall has made him a living reminder of the monarchy's most shameful chapter.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Prince Andrew's decision to host a party for Ghislaine Maxwell at Sandringham—where sex drugs like poppers were reportedly found—reads less like royal history and more like a bad dark comedy. The idea of a Queen's residence being turned into something resembling a low-rent Sopranos episode is almost surreal. The whole scene feels like parody: the Duke of York, standing beneath portraits of British monarchs, presiding over a soirée that sounds like Downton Abbey crashing headfirst into Trainspotting. It's especially grotesque given Epstein's reputation for avoiding drugs himself—he didn't need them, he used them on others. The thought of those same tools of control and exploitation making their way into a royal estate is equal parts absurd and revolting.What makes it worse is the total lack of accountability. The Palace still tries to frame these scandals as “private matters,” as though international sex trafficking and narcotics at royal residences can be brushed under the Windsor rug. Every new revelation cements Andrew as a man incapable of understanding—or even pretending to care about—the damage he's done to the Crown's image. Once considered a symbol of British decorum, Sandringham now sits as a monument to how far the monarchy has fallen, its history tainted by the stench of scandal and the arrogance of a prince who believed himself untouchable. In the end, Prince Andrew didn't just disgrace himself—he made royal scandal feel like a recurring sketch in a show that refuses to end.to contact me:source:Sex drugs 'found at party' disgraced Andrew hosted for Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in Sandringham, new Royal book claims | Daily Mail Online

Lownie parses how the Epstein scandal and financial allegations have dramatically reshaped the royal landscape. He explains the palace's response, the public outrage, and why Andrew's ties to Epstein and business dealings abroad make him vulnerable. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The idea of a Queen's residence being turned into something resembling a low-rent Sopranos episode is almost surreal. The whole scene feels like parody: the Duke of York, standing beneath portraits of British monarchs, presiding over a soirée that sounds like Downton Abbey crashing headfirst into Trainspotting. It's especially grotesque given Epstein's reputation for avoiding drugs himself—he didn't need them, he used them on others. The thought of those same tools of control and exploitation making their way into a royal estate is equal parts absurd and revolting.What makes it worse is the total lack of accountability. The Palace still tries to frame these scandals as “private matters,” as though international sex trafficking and narcotics at royal residences can be brushed under the Windsor rug. Every new revelation cements Andrew as a man incapable of understanding—or even pretending to care about—the damage he's done to the Crown's image. Once considered a symbol of British decorum, Sandringham now sits as a monument to how far the monarchy has fallen, its history tainted by the stench of scandal and the arrogance of a prince who believed himself untouchable.
