Vito was a great leader. He made sure everyone in the group had a plate before serving himself

The sheer audacity of the Palace deploying the "ongoing investigation" trope as a convenient gagging order to snub Epstein’s survivors, while the King prepares to clink glasses with a man mentioned thirty-eight thousand times in those very files. It is not legal caution; it is a moral cowardice. Watching the Monarchy hide behind the ghost of Prince Andrew to avoid uncomfortable truths, even as they frantically attempt to launder their image through humanitarian photo-ops, is nauseating. You cannot play the Grandmother of the Nation" or the Global Diplomat when you’re selectively deaf to the victims of your own social circle. If the Crown is so fragile that a meeting with survivors threatens the integrity of a police probe, then the Crown is too compromised to represent Britain on the world stage. They aren't protecting the law; they’re protecting the seating plan. Proof, if any were needed, that Royal duty is merely a curated performance, and their solidarity is reserved exclusively for the powerful. #AbolishTheMonarchy #KingCharles #EpsteinVictims #RoyalHypocrisy #StateVisit

The launch of my book, Naked Lies, covering my 6-year investigation into the Epstein scandal, has been moved to the 9th April. We'll be launching it at a gorgeous venue in LA with press in attendance, thanks to @houseinhabit, who also has the coolest office in America...

I don't know when people started saying Happy Easter on Good Friday but it's not appropriate. Jesus was crucified on Good Friday. That wasn't a happy occasion. You say Happy Easter on Easter Sunday.

This manufactured hysteria & indignation over the King & Easter has entered the annals of historical absurdity. He leads the royal family at every national Christian religious occasion, he goes to church every Sunday, he addresses the nation every Christmas, he prays at bedtime, he took an oath to uphold the Church of England. Yet here we have manufactured outrage, whipped up by abolitionists & the unreliable GB News, over the King not doing something the monarch doesn’t do usually. It’s extraordinarily ridiculous. Suddenly, this man who has spent his whole life trying to do what he can to help the country & its people, is being treated as if he had no time for us at all. It’s plumbing the depths of insanity.

Fertility is collapsing all around the world, not just in the developed West: - Mexico now has lower fertility than the US (even non-Hispanic whites!). - Arab-Israeli fertility is now lower than that of Jewish Israelis. - For first time in 200 years, rich people are having MORE kids than poor. Economist Jesús Fernández-Villaverde (@JesusFerna7026) sat down with me and @pietergaricano to talk about the economics of the fertility collapse, why education can be such a curse for birth rates, why the collapse is happening almost as much in the Muslim and developing worlds as in the rich world, and why so many attempts to address it fail. We also discuss 'no regrets' policies that could help: clearer data for students about the value (or not) of college degrees; lotteries for admissions to the top universities; subsidies for third or fourth children; and, of course, bigger, nicer and more plentiful housing. Listen now.

Those outraged by King Charles not delivering an “Easter Message” (which he’s never delivered before) & which Queen Elizabeth only did once in her 70 yr reign could, of course, pop into a church & listen to a live Easter message from the pulpit Just ask your satnav where it is…

@AlexTran677026 No. It was a good film in its own right. Flawed yes. But excellent performances from Pacino, Garcia, Wallech, Hamilton, Shire and a story of trying to achieve redemption are why it puts it above average.
