He claimed the article was a biased split of the article on child sexual abuse in the UK pushing a “fringe” view. McNeil was criticized on social media for the move, many noting a blog post he wrote that supported exposing children to sexual kinks and fetishes…

Trump repeated that demand Saturday on Truth Social. Trump also demanded a deal to end the war in Gaza and to…

Both big-name blockbusters and experimental indies have fled to other states and countries, looking for cheaper labor and…
