Dave Chappelle's sick 'joke' about Charlie Kirk's assassination has sparked fierce backlash. "I feel f---ed up saying this. It's scary being a public speaker. And I mean, look, ever since that guy, Charlie Kirk, got murdered, and I shouldn't say this publicly, but, I feel better." The remark came during a Madison Square Garden show for Chappelle's "Karmageddon" tour. Now, Charlie Kirk's widow, Erika, is responding, condemning those who turn political violence into entertainment. Elon Musk, Meghan McCain and others are also speaking out. But there's another detail drawing attention: Kirk publicly defended Chappelle after the comedian was attacked onstage in 2022. See what Kirk said at the time and how critics are responding to Chappelle's remarks: foxnews.com/media/social-med…

LATEST SITUATION: 67 Israeli lawmakers recommended Gadi Eisenkot. Netanyahu still governs. The recommendations gave Eisenkot the mandate to negotiate. They did not create a governing coalition. The final election count leaves Netanyahu's bloc with 53 of parliament's 120 seats, Eisenkot's bloc with 48, and the Arab lists Ra'am and the Joint List with 19 combined. Those 19 lawmakers recommended Eisenkot. The Jerusalem Post reports that their recommendations do not commit them to joining his government. Joining a coalition, supporting it from outside and recommending its prospective leader are different commitments. Adding 48 and 19 establishes the electoral arithmetic. It does not establish how those lawmakers will vote on a proposed government. President Isaac Herzog formally gave Eisenkot 28 days on 8th November, with a possible extension of up to 14 days. Israel's Basic Law keeps the outgoing government in office until a replacement is formed. PM Bibi Netanyahu does not leave merely because his rival received more recommendations. Nor would a change of prime minister automatically settle the Iran question. On 13th October, the Times of Israel reported Eisenkot's position on renewed fighting in the following weeks. He said another campaign would be justified only if Iran were making a break for a nuclear weapon. Eisenkot doubted that was happening and acknowledged that he no longer had access to high-level intelligence. He called the Iranian regime's fall necessary, but not achievable through military action. Those were conditional remarks made before the election, not an announcement of what a future government would do. Eisenkot now has the opportunity to assemble that government. The 67 recommendations alone do not show that he has assembled it.

Zambians have looked around and they do not have someone that can lead them if President HH doesn't stand in 2031 that's why they want the Presidential Term Limit to be removed.- Ken Dumbo

I am beginning to think a good number of our ministers don't have a good grasp of our consistution and its purpose.

If you were given 20 minutes with Jesus Christ, what will you say to him?

Great to join the protest in Leeds against the proposed new AI data centre. There's huge concerns about the impact of these centres on the environment, infrastructure and people's lives. I've tabled a Parliamentary Motion calling for a national moratorium on new AI data centres.

America's AI advantage is on the line. Democrats want to give China the biggest AI advantage of our lifetime. They are proposing a complete pause on advanced AI development and a ban on artificial superintelligence. That raises a serious question. How do we protect Americans without compromising our national security and technological leadership? By giving American innovators the freedom to keep building, competing, and leading. Protecting tomorrow starts today.
