Breath. You are loved." Paul He criticized alpha male egos and the maturity of 50+ year-olds: "One of the problems with the Republican Party is on display today (As a current Republican) We unfortunately have these Alpha male egos and leaders who aren't mature enough sometimes. They're 50+ years old and diss tweeting each other Elon and Trump are great but they need to work together and not make America look bad." Roseanne responded to Elon's (now deleted) Epstein tweet: "MAGA went down faster than AOC at a Hamas blow bang. We had a good run at least." Pump He said, "We got trump & elon beefing before gta 6."

Allow me to use this opening to once again state Dennis and I have no relationship and Evi & I have not spoken to him for close to 30 years and will never again speak to him. My bio is not his bio.

Beloved '90s actor makes stunning public vaccine dare to Anthony Fauci
Actor-comedian Rob Schneider has launched a bizarre attack on Dr Anthony Fauci over vaccine safety. The Saturday Night Live star, 61, dared Dr Anthony Fauci to take all 72 approved childhood vaccines at once to prove they are safe. While speaking about chronic diseases on a talk show this week, Schneider said the childhood vaccine schedule has 'ramped up' since he was a kid, suggesting the shots are not necessary. He also falsely claimed there has 'never been a study of the entire vaccine schedule' recommended by the CDC for children from birth to age 18. The Saturday Night Live star, who has long shared anti-vaccine opinions, called out Dr Fauci and former CDC director Dr Rochelle Walensky and asked them both to take all of the vaccines in the schedule. He said: 'I'd like to see you show up and get the whole [schedule] if you think it's so safe. 'Get the whole recommended childhood schedule and do it right there on stage, do all the 52 doses right now, and see how safe it is. 'They'll never do it.' While largely influencing the research and rollout of the Covid vaccines, Dr Fauci has never played a role in setting the childhood vaccine schedule. Schneider didn't single out any particular shot, though in the past he has voiced concerns over Covid vaccines and schools giving shots for human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection responsible for nine in 10 cases of cervical cancer. He also retweeted a post in 2019 that claimed 'fake news media' wouldn't tell the truth about Andrew Wakefield, the disgraced British researcher who falsely claimed the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine causes autism. Schneider said on an episode of The Sage Steele Show this week: 'They just ramped up the schedule from three shots when I was a kid. Now we have 52 different doses.' According to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, four vaccines were recommended during the 1960s, when Schneider was a child: DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis), MMR, polio and smallpox. There are multiple brands of approved vaccines in the US, adding up to 782 in total, though children are not given all of these. In total, children are recommended to get 15 shots for different diseases in the CDC's childhood vaccine schedule. Some of these are given in multiple doses, meaning a child receives up to about 35 to 40 doses by the time they turn 18. This doesn't include a yearly flu vaccine or Covid boosters. The only vaccines required to attend public schools in most states are DTaP, MMR, polio and varicella. The meningitis vaccine is typically required for college students. The rest, for diseases like influenza and varicella (chickenpox), are recommended by most states but not mandatory. Schneider also claimed there are no studies evaluating the safety of the full childhood vaccine schedule. However, several recent scientific reviews done this. In 2013, the Institute of Medicine looked at all shots on the schedule and found no links between adverse effects like anaphylaxis and immunizations. And in 2021, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRD), an arm of the CDC, reviewed 57,000 citations and 189 studies on the vaccine schedule and found no evidence of an increased risk of severe side effects. However, it also noted there 'remains insufficient evidence to make conclusions about some rare potential adverse events.' Several vaccines have also been shown to be effective with a low risk of complications. The MMR vaccine, for example, is 97 percent effective at preventing measles, mumps and rubella. The CDC estimates anaphylaxis has only occurred in one of every 1million doses, and seizures have been tied to just one in 4,000 doses.

Who is Winston Marshall? Mumford & Sons' ex-banjo player
That kind of wokery won't fly in the brave new age of MAGA, but perhaps some alterations can be made should Donald Trump act on the suggestion of the former banjo player of Mumford & Sons and start offering safe haven for people who post memes - "give me your tweeters, your Redditors/your 4Chan edgelords bemoaning taking the knee..." This week Winston Marshall, who left the group in 2021, went viral for an appearance in the White House press pool in which he claimed there were people in prison for "quite literally reposting memes" and asked if the Trump administration would offer asylum in cases where free speech was under threat. Read More: Some even speculated that the question may have been directly inspired by Graham Linehan, a prolific user of 𝕏 (formerly Twitter), known for his anti-transgender activism. Reposting the video, actor Rob Schneider said: "We have filed for Political Asylum in the United States for a British Writer/Director who has been blacklisted and discriminated against in the United Kingdom for his 'Speech.'" We have filed for Political Asylum in the United States for a British Writer/Director who has been blacklisted and discriminated against in the United Kingdom for his 'Speech.' More info to come… — Rob Schneider 🇺🇸 (@RobSchneider) April 28, 2025 Linehan, who is the creator of the IT Crowd and the co-creator of Father Ted, is Irish but is working on a sitcom in Arizona alongside Schneider and Andrew Doyle. The 56-year-old is due at Westminster Sheriff Court on May 12 on charges of harassment without violence and criminal damage, and is also being sued for alleged defamation by the LGBT rights campaigner David Paisley at the High Court. According to a subsequent post by Schneider, Linehan is now "approved to work and live in the United States of America", though there's no indication has has been given formal political asylum. But who is the intrepid reporter seeking asylum for the victims of the meme wars? Winston Aubrey Aladar deBalkan Marshall is the son of Sir Paul Marshall, the multi-millionaire owner of GB News and Unherd. Winston Marshall Educated at the exclusive St Paul's school in London, he was inspired to play the banjo after seeing the Coen Brothers' film O Brother, Where Art Thou? Insulated from the pressure of having to go to university or get a job by his parents' wealth, he grew dreadlocks and toured with a band called Captain Kick and the Cowboy Ramblers. "I looked like a f***ing tit," Marshall admitted in a 2013 Rolling Stone interview. "Technically, I suppose I was following all the right behaviour patterns of a trustafarian." Seeing Captain Kick, though, had inspired University of Edinburgh student Marcus Mumford - whom Marshall had met a few years previously - to start writing music and ultimately form Mumford & Sons. The group, who all attended fee-paying schools, self-financed their debut album Sigh No More following several years of extensive touring which had built their following. Lead single 'Little Lion Man' proved an unlikely hit on both sides of the pond, cracking the top 50 on the Billboard Hot 100 Stateside and going top 30 back in Blighty. Sigh No More didn't make the top 10 on the album chart in the week of its release, but would eventually climb to number two in its 72nd week on the chart, having been named Album of the Year at the Brit Awards the previous week. Mumford & Sons (Image: PAUL JOHN BAYFIELD) It went three times platinum in the United States, meaning it sold more than three million copies, cracking America in the way few British bands ever do. Its follow-up, Babel went straight to number one in the UK and US, outselling the likes of Lana Del Rey, Green Day and Justin Bieber and the group backed Bob Dylan at the Grammy Awards. Not everyone, however, was enamoured with the sight of four posh boys aping the sound and look of country-folk. "They look like f***ing Amish people," said Liam Gallagher of Oasis while one review of Babel sniffed "to be able to look at a banjo without being overcome with a desire to use the neck end to beat its owner to death is a beautiful and underrated thing". A Facebook page named 'I Hate Mumford & Sons' set out its mission statement thus: "Let us forget our conflicts and put our differences aside, for there is a new evil at hand that threatens the very fiber of our being. Humanity must now unite in our hatred for the treacherous banjo bastards Mumford & Sons and join together as one force to ensure that our future is kept safe from the destruction of euphoric banjo anthems sung by annoying upper class waistcoat sporting husky little f***s." So far, so normal - band gets popular, band gets hated by the cool kids, band continues to shift records by the truckload. So it had gone for Coldplay and U2 before them and so it would for Ed Sheeran after them. In 2018 though the controversial professor Jordan Peterson posted an image on social media of a meeting with the group at their London studio. Dr Peterson is a right-wing academic who believes that white privilege is a "Marxist lie" and said of a man who killed 10 people with a van in his native Canada: "He was angry at God because women were rejecting him. The cure for that is enforced monogamy." That Mumford & Sons had invited the academic to their studio raised red flags, one Twitter user quipping: "I assumed they were 'my dad was a vicar' Tory, not 'concerned about white birth rates' Tory." It soon emerged that Marshall was the one who had extended the invitation, the banjo player explaining: "I primarily was very interested in Dr. Peterson's work on psychology, read both his books and found it very, very interesting. "I don't think that having a photograph with someone means you agree with everything they say." That might have been that, but then in 2021 Marshall posted approvingly about the right-wing agitator Andy Ngo. Ngo first came to prominence in 2017 when he was fired from student newspaper the Portland State Vanguard for what its editor called a violation of ethics in regard to a clip he'd posted of a Muslim student which was seized upon by the right-wing news outlet Breitbart. He's been described as "the most dangerous grifter in America" and accused of inciting harassment against left-wing protestors through false claims and selective editing. In 2019 he covered a protest organised by the far-right Proud Boys and was assaulted by masked demonstrators; receiving punches to the head and kicks. Ngo blamed the injuries on antifa counter-protestors - though no individual attackers were ever identified - and was ultimately awarded $300,000 in damages because three potential defendants refused to answer the civil case. In March 2021 Marshall praised Ngo, calling his book Unmasked "important" and the influencer a "brave man". The musician issued a statement saying he would be taking a break from the band "to examine my blindspots" and apologised if his post had come across as approving of "hateful, divisive behaviour". Three months later he made his departure permanent, stating that he wanted to be able to "speak my mind" without bringing "more trouble" to his bandmates. He later signed on as a contributor for The Spectator - which his father owns - for whom he launched the 'Marshall Matters' podcast in early 2022. The name is a pun on the real name of hip-hop star Eminem, and episodes included 'The True Cost of Net Zero' and 'How To Stop The Boats'. Marshall has since gone all-in on right-wing commentary, now hosting The Winston Marshall Show as well as a Substack blog. Podcast guests are a veritable who's who of the modern right: Douglas Murray, Nigel Farage, Bret Weinstein. Last year he appeared at the Oxford Union to debate the then speaker of the US Congress, Nancy Pelosi, on whether or not populism is a threat to democracy. Chiding the Democratic congresswoman on the word itself he said "elites use it to show their contempt for ordinary people" and that "populism, as you know, is the politics of the ordinary people against an elite". Quite how the privately-educated son of a hedge fund manager and media baron fits outside of 'the elite' is unclear. Perhaps more concerningly though, Marshall revealed on April 20 that he's picked up a banjo for the first time in four years on the urging of singer-songwriter Oliver Anthony. The 'West London folk scene' was bad enough, no-one needs to hear MAGA & Sons.
