Trump launches 'powerful and deadly' strike on ISIS in Nigeria and warns of more if attacks persistDonald Trump announced a 'powerful and deadly' Christmas Day strike on ISIS 'terrorist scum' in Nigeria and warned that radicals will continue to pay for the persecution of Christians.The president, who previously threatened to send the US military to the West African nation 'guns-a-blazing,' made the announcement in a Truth Social post Thursday evening. 'Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries!' he wrote. A spokesperson for the Pentagon confirmed to The Daily Mail that the Nigerian government approved of and worked with the US military on the strikes. Trump said in his lengthy post that the ISIS militants have had it coming for some time.'I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.'It is not yet clear how many have been killed or injured by the strike. 'The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing. Under my leadership, our Country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper,' Trump added. The president signed off with a warning for the terrorists that they will continue to pay if the murder of innocent Christians goes on. 'May God Bless our Military, and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, including the dead Terrorists, of which there will be many more if their slaughter of Christians continues.' https://mol.im/a/15413601

Moonpig.com

Received some Hotel Chocolate from Moonpig and a card from my son for my Birthday. I had to ring them which is impossible no phone number, the date of expiry was Jan 2026. The Chocolates were grey, I left messages, which they replied, they then wanted a picture of the box. Didn't know where you sent the picture. Gave them order Number etc, which I got from my son. But of course their on Holiday Moonpig now. Everything is so much trouble these days.

Nectar card scam

My partner, Jean, went to Sainsbury Local this morning and when he went to pay the guy next to him said he'd left his Nectar card at home so could he use Jean's card and Jean would get the points. Guess what, the guy stole all Jean's Nectar points (£2.50!) The worst thing was that it's the second time Jean has fallen for this scam 🥴 can you imagine how much this guy steals if he shops a lot!Merry Xmas all!

Farmers Inheritance Tax ~ Government Climbdown

Starmer has caved in again to pressure.   However this climbdown is justified and very welcome because the inheritance tax threshold before tax is paid has been raised from £1million up to £2.5million which is brilliant news for our wonderful family farmers.   It should never have been proposed in the first place.   Now the Govt needs to raise the IHT threshold for the rest of us.
