"Another day, another Prime Minister." -- Larry, the Downing Street Cat
From Spencer Pratt's campaign web site: "Fiscal Integrity and Reform: "Spencer also believes a city's budget is a contract with taxpayers, and right now, City Hall is breaking that contract. With Los Angeles facing a massive structural deficity, the city can no longer afford insider carveouts or special-interest spending, it's not right. Spencer will enforce a back-to-basics budget that prioritizes and restores core services and stops the expansion of costly programs that lack clear results."
"I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Councilor or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension, to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time, and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a 'more convenient season'."

"It is the nature and intention of a constitution to prevent governing by party, by establishing a common principle that shall limit and control the power and impulse of party, and that says to all parties, "Thus far shalt thou go and no farther". But in the absense of a constitution, men look entirely to party; instead of principle governing party, party governs principle." -- Thomas Paine, Dissertation on First Principles of Government, 1795
Yet Ms. Wiles is not just any private witness. She is the White House Chief of Staff for the President of the United States. As such she is the most senior political appointee in the President’s Administration. No one in the federal government, save the President himself, bears more administrative responsibility for ensuring that the President will “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” U.S. Const., Art. II,§ 3.
A Statement from His Majesty The King Thursday, 19th February 2026 I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation. Let me state clearly: the law must take its course. As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all. Charles R.
