The Secret Role I Played In 'Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness'You never want to introduce a spoiler into an article so I am warning you now, before you read any farther, that a spoiler is inevitable if I am going to talk about the secret role I played in the new Disney MCU film "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness." If you haven't seen it because you thought the first was rather generic, I am with you but you should go. It is completely bananas, in the way a Doctor Strange film should be. It has Sam Raimi written all over it and that makes it a blast. read more read more

One of the most annoying phrases in politics, and a favourite of Keir Starmer's, is "let me take this head on."

But for once, by calling a press conference to announce his resignation if Durham Police fine him over "BeerGate", Starmer has done exactly that.

Why the Warmongers Are Wrong About China[image: undefined] In an earlier article, “No War with China,” I discussed the plans of braindead Biden and the neocon gang that controls him to start a war with China. This of course would be a disaster, but it leads to another question I’d like to talk about this week. Do we have to quarrel with China at all? Why can’t we have peaceful, friendly relations with China?
