How about instead of pretty please don’t hurt our soldiers we tell them we will rain death and destruction on them and their tunnels. Of course Biden and the jackass Blinken would never do that.

The celebrated American painter behind President Barack Obama’s official portrait has denied allegations of sexual assault made against him over the weekend.

Kehinde Wiley was accused of sexual assault by British Ghanaian artist Joseph Awuah-Darko. Awuah-Darko alleged Wiley assaulted him twice during a dinner on June 9, 2021.

“Someone I had a brief, consensual relationship with almost three years ago is now making a false accusation about our time together,” Wiley posted on Instagram Sunday — shortly after Awuah-Darko made the allegation.

The passenger who died onboard a Singapore Airlines jet travelling from the UK today was a 73-year-old British man, Thai officials have confirmed.

After around 11 hours of flying time from take off in London, the aircraft hit an air pocket and sharply dropped 6,000 feet in five minutes, unleashing mayhem and forcing it to make an emergency landing at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi airport.

Terrified passengers have described how they had little warning to put their seatbelts on before the aircraft suddenly dropped while the crew were serving breakfast, with one passenger saying people were 'launched into the ceiling' as the plane fell through the sky.
