NEW: Trump released a video making it appear as though he received a warm greeting in Scotland with bagpipers welcoming him on the tarmac. Scotland officials had no idea where they came from.

Q. There’s a considerable amount of evidence that you raped E. Jean Carroll. Do you still maintain that you did not? Why wouldn’t you tell that to the jury? https://presswatchers.org/2023/05/heres-how-cnn-can-reduce-the-harm-of-giving-trump-the-microphone/ https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1653864562574217221
Putin is wanted for war crimes,but that’s not stopping him planning a visit to South Africa.He’s betting South Africa will shirk its legal duty to arrest him.The government is deciding what to do right now!Massive public pressure could make all the difference so let’s stand up for justice and build a million strong global call for South Africa to make clear it will arrest Putin if he goes ahead with the trip.When this is huge we’ll splash it all over South Africa’s media! https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/south_africa_arrest_putin_52/?cTKaEeb
