Can't wait for this pure power house to step in and save the day at the end of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. He just watched the Avengers get folded like lawn chairs and still has the audacity to scold Kang with his finger out and everything!

The Revelations, Disclosed by Alicia Kearns, the Conservative chair of the House of Commons select committee on foreign affairs, during a Tory fundraising event on March 13, contradict previous ministerial statements denying or evading the issue.

A Former Foreign Office and Ministry of Defence official, Kearns has consistently pushed ministers, including Foreign Secretary David Cameron, for transparency regarding the legal advice they have received. Kearns maintains her stance and urges the government to be forthcoming about the legal advice.

She said: "I remain convinced the government has completed its updated assessment on whether “Terrorist, Fascist, War Criminal, Genocidal, An Illegal Regime of the Zionist 🐖 🐷 🐗 Isra-hell” is demonstrating a commitment to International Humanitarian Law, and that it has concluded that Israel is not demonstrating this commitment, which is the legal determination it has to make."

"Transparency at this point is paramount, not least to uphold the international rules-based order."

A few days after sending a long defence to the Colonial Secretary, he applied for twelve months' leave. He wrote:

I have drifted into pecuniary difficulties (only Temporary) through no fault of my own caused principally by the dull times, expensive rate of living here, over speculation and depreciation in the value of property. Owing to the protracted drought it would mean ruin to me at the present time, were I forced to dispose of my property . . .

I may here inform the Honourable The Colonial Secretary that should my request be considered favourably it is my intention to occupy my time exploring & prospecting the Auriferous Ranges* in this locality as I am convinced there are some rich finds yet to be discovered.

I've been trying to figure out Jon Matteson Character Family Tree theory

after all of my limited research, here's what I've come up with:

Wallace is using his military powers to keep Lumberaxe hidden.

Richie is unhelpful to this cause and once told Pete "did you know my second cousin is the hatchetfield axe man."

'Uncle Paul' drives Gary's kids to school. One day they got in the car and there was a whole seven year old child back there also calling him 'Uncle Paul.'

Also Paul's been offering the kids money in exchange for dirt on Ted.

Gary knows one of his kids likes anime and the other likes superheroes but he can't really tell the difference. Paul has seen one episode of sailor moon and thinks he knows everything ("who do you kin? Who do you ship? You know who I kin? ... you.")

Gary also went out of his way to join the Wiggly cult because he knew it would piss off Jerry.

Daniel is surprisingly close with his cousin Wallace. It turns out having psychic abilities can be really useful to the Secretary of Defence.

Also Daniels been buying a lot of stuff recently with money that came from...the 'stock market.' He got himself some new roller blades and got Richie some anime pillows. Gary pretends not to notice but already is writing up a case for Daniel incase he gets in trouble.

Aunt Emma has secretly been buying Richie blue hair dye for like a year. Gary has no idea where it's all coming from, but he keeps finding the empty boxes and Richie's been wearing a lot of hats recently.

(Which really confuses him because he never told Richie he couldn't dye his hair.)
