It ain’t winning
New Yorkers ought to be deeply, deeply ashamed of themselves.

Q: How long does it take to completely forget an atrocity as heinous as 9/11/01 was?
A: Apparently, not more than 25 years.
Surprised? Don’t be.
ISIS Issues a Call to Murder Tommy Robinson, But the Warning UK Cops Give Him Is Much Worse
The patriotic British activist Tommy Robinson revealed on Friday morning that he is “a priority target for ISIS!!!” He added: “I have now left the country, I need time to work things out for my safety and the safety of my family. I will probably have to relocate them. I will update you when I can.”The news came in the form of a phone call from the Bedfordshire Police. A police officer told Robinson “we have seen intelligence that an ISIS publication has [been]… encouraging others to commit violence against yourself.” He went on to explain that this publication was called Yalgaar, and that the information he was giving Robinson “has come from our counter terrorists.”
When Robinson asked, however, if he could get a copy of this publication, the police officer said “Unfortunately not.” Robinson then asked if he went online and downloaded a copy, “Would that be a terrorist offense?” The officer replied: “I think it would be.”
The officer then said that he wanted to “remind” Robinson that “because of this information, it doesn’t authorize you to carry weapons, anything like that, take any pre-emptive action against others.” Robinson asked: “So I’m named in an ISIS manual to be targeted by ISIS terrorists, but I cannot have anything to protect myself.” The officer made clear that this was indeed the case.
This is a remarkable phone call, but utterly unsurprising. For years now, British authorities have acted as if Tommy Robinson were public enemy number one. As he stood against the migrant invasion that threatens to end Britain as a free society (as well as replace the native British people with foreigners who have no historical connection to the land) and spoke out honestly regarding Muslim rape gang activity and other issues that those authorities have shown themselves afraid to confront, he has revealed to the entire world the suicidal pusillanimity and cowardice of the British intelligentsia.
And so instead of offering special protection to Robinson in light of this Islamic State threat, as Salman Rushdie, Geert Wilders, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and many others have received after threats from other jihadis, the police officer who contacted him only warned him not to carry any weapons. It is an extremely odd thing to tell someone while you’re telling him about a credible death threat against him, unless, of course, the British authorities want Robinson dead as much as ISIS does.
The contemptible Brit “authorities” were making a statement (not merely to Robinson but to the entire world) about what is of primary importance to them: not that the filthy, primordial Muzzrats were gunning for Robinson, but that in the UK the right to defend oneself (responsibility, more like, or so I believe) no longer exists, assuming it ever did. Likewise, they wished to remind one and all that the disgraceful, spineless “authorities” do not intend to protect subjects of the badly tarnished Crown from the depredations of these scrofulous animals. They cared for nothing apart from getting this point across, be assured. Bottom line? Just this: hapless Brits don’t have to like it; they have to shut up and take it, that’s what.
And with that, I can’t imagine that I’m gonna have a whole lot more to say around here about the suicide of Once-Great, Now-Pathetic Britain. They are what they are, we all KNOW what they are, and it’s not going to change. Britain is now just another Moslem shitrapy, entirely and exclusively because the British people sat on their asses and allowed it to happen. Instead of getting themselves all het up over the admittedly sorry situation Over There, Real Americans must now focus their attention on seeing to it that it doesn’t happen here, before it’s too late. We’re much too far along that dismal road already.
If Tommy Robinson has half a brain in his head, and I very much hope he does, he and his loved ones will never set foot on British soil again, not for any reason whatever. Every true patriot feels a strong pull towards the land of his birth and his countrymen, of course, but the sad fact is that there’s not a damned thing he or anybody else can do to rescue the benighted UK now. Like Elvis, it’s gone and cannot be brought back.
Update! Not much reason for me to keep elevating my blood pressure with this kind of crap when Mark Steyn covers it so adroitly.
Rupert Lowe is doing a magnificent job with his “rape gang inquiry” – and, as I said a few days ago, it does my heart good to see our friend Sammy Woodhouse up there seated alongside him – as opposed to the last “inquiry” where the Government’s plan was to have Sammy seated next to Rotherham bi-guy rapist Lord Ahmed. That’s right: pre-Rupert Lowe, they were putting the rapists on the investigatory panels. I was going to call Lord Ahmed “Labour’s paedo peer”, but I realised that that doesn’t narrow it down much: see Sir Keir’s furious face at PMQs after Mrs Badenoch accused him of leading a ministry of “paedophile-apologists”.
Another aspect that has emerged in recent days is the complicity of Islamic women in the activities of their menfolk. As I gradually realised a decade ago, they are almost all aware that every chap in their household is participating in the gang-rape of certain white working-class girls – and they’re cool with that. After all, if you have to live among the hideous painted strumpets of the infidel, the girls might as well be put to use. So from The Daily Mail:
Labour mayor is found guilty of helping hide her son’s phone after he raped a 15-year-old girl
I had initially assumed, following the mayor’s tearful plea in court that a “mother’s love” had clouded her judgment, that the rapist was seventeen, nineteen or some such. In fact, as you can see from the photograph above, the kid was forty-one. At the time, he was serving, officially, as “Consort” to the Mayor. That’s some bollocks-type title equivalent to the use of “First Lady” in America, which is likewise bollocks and which I have never liked. But apparently “Consort” is its British and non-binary equivalent and, as our illustration makes plain, comes with its own impressive chain of “office”.
And in Berkshire, Diwan Khan, Consort to the Mayor of Bracknell Forest, while in-between municipal functions, enjoyed slipping drugs into the drinks of minors and then raping them. His fifteen-year-old victim woke up naked on the back seat of his car and wondered what had happened. So the Consort to the Mayor used one hand to choke her and the other to hold up his telephone and show her the video he’d taken of their romantic interlude. This is also a very Paki thing: most rapists are a little sheepish about evidence of their brutality. But, in the vibrant diversity of England, the thugs who violate your daughters like to make souvenir movies they can show to their friends, brothers, fathers, grandfathers, etc.
Do they also show them to Mum? When the police knocked on the door of Mayor Naheed Ejaz, she waited a minute-and-a-half before responding. She used that time to order her son – in Urdu, so the coppers could not understand – to hide his mobile.
Because she knew what Muslim men keep on their telephones.
She knew what the police would see if they found it – and apparently she could not be as sure of the indifference of Thames Valley Police as Mancunians, Yorkshiremen and Shropshire lads are of the indifference of the Greater Manchester, South Yorkshire and West Mercia constabularies. When the coppers had been admitted, both mother and son continued to speak in Urdu, avoiding the word “phone”, which is the same in both languages. So on bodycam video Diwan can be heard referring only to “the big bell”, to which the Mayor replies, “Keep quiet. I know.” The mobile has never been found.
Tellingly, Naheed Ejaz owned, and Diwan Khan drove for, a family taxi firm – because cabs are also central to control of the municipal rape-gang business. The Mayor has now been convicted of perverting the course of justice. But the family are old hands at perverting in a more general sense.
Post-Immivasion Britain has become so warped, so depraved, so mind-bogglingly decayed and distorted that it truly beggars belief. Winston Churchill wouldn’t recognize the place, and would surely be sickened unto death at seeing how very far the homeland he once cherished has fallen…as all decent, honorable people should be.
Vivek Ramalamaswamabamadingdong has some peculiar ideas of his own.
As it’s our final show of the year, I’d like to keep it a little more focused than usual – and concentrate on the existential question now facing some of the oldest continuous states on earth: what is a nation? At AmFest and in The New York Times, Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy returned to his contention that America is an “idea” and, if you’re onboard with the “idea”, you’re as American as anybody else. One might formulate the “idea” as a “dream”, as Vivek does:
It is called the American Dream for a reason. There is no Canadian Dream. There is no British Dream. It sounds kind of goofy to say it. There’s no Chinese Dream, okay?
There is, however, a Somali Dream – of moving to Minnesota and opening a state-funded daycare.
On the right one can find opponents of all this dreaminess, but Vivek has no time for them and is reading them out of the movement:
I think the idea of a heritage American is about as loony as anything the woke left has actually put up. There is no American who is more American than somebody else.
So a Daughter of the American Revolution is no more American than the daughter of a Minneapolis daycare owner. This would come as news to the fellows who wrote the Preamble to the US Constitution in order to “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity”. Which, oddly, seems to be how the Somali fraudsters look on it, if you substitute “Blessings of Public Funding” for “Liberty”.
One notes that America rose to global dominance during Calvin Coolidge’s four-decade immigration “pause”. Since then, alas, the US has been busy not only “proposition”-ing itself into a one-way ticket on the oblivion express, but exporting that proposition to the rest of the west’s hitherto conventional “ethno”-states (a qualification that should not, strictly, be necessary), to the point where countries no one thinks of as “nations of immigrants” are about to see their native peoples dispossessed of their ancestral homelands – Sweden and Austria, for example.
Meanwhile, in the United Bleephole, Keir Starmer made it his “priority” to bring “back” to the country a “British” “citizen” who had been gaoled in Egypt for the crime of …well, I’ll let Sir Keir, a man entirely without irony or self-awareness, explain it…
Follows, a truly spectacular blast of multiculti Tourettes from Blightey’s all-time worst PM, after which Steyn picks up the thread again.
The “Briton” in question is a man who believes in the “extermination” of white people, which is apparently no obstacle to all the most eminent white people, from beloved “national treasures” – Bill Nighy, from Love Actually; Judi Dench, M from the Bond films; my old Loose Ends colleague Stephen Fry – and all the most deservedly reviled “right-wing” Conservatives – Sir Iain Duncan Smith – demanding he be brought to England to live at public expense.
It would be rather funny, don’t you think, if his “extermination” of white people began with those listed above…but, if it goes as it usually does, I expect he’ll get you instead.
And should you show fight or attempt to resist in any way, you will be bunged into chokey for the duration, after which the entire episode will be whitewashed, swept under the Establishment rug, and studiously forgotten—by the media, by the cops, by the government, by your neighbors, by pretty much EVERYBODY, really.
This is the round-robin process by which shithole countries become shithole countries, see.
Nope, you’ll bend over and take your medicine without complaint if you know what’s good for ya, chum, or, y’know, else. It’s the same old story, with the same old denouement, namely:
To repeat: in the next decade-and-a-half, there will be nothing recognisable as the western world absent the deportation of tens of millions of people.
And as we all already know, the Western world will just have to grin and bear it, because said mass deportations—although eminently justified, appropriate, lawful, and reasonable—ain’t ever gonna happen. Seriously, people, how could they, when the selfsame maefactors responsible for bringing them in would also be responsible for booting them out?
In the end, we’re left with the same old conundrum, as expressed in another spot-on Steynism which posits that this mishegas isn’t any kind of mistake, misfire, or miscalculation. No, this is how things are because this is how our Lords and Masters WANT them to be. It isn’t merely happening to us; it’s BEING DONE to us—on purpose, with malice aforethought.
Update! Ace has plenty more on the execrable Starmer’s pet “cultural enricher,” and it’s every bit as bad as you’d expect, maybe even worse.
The UK just welcomed back a true Cultural Enricher who had previously been arrested in Egypt.
The UK actively campaigned for his release and his return to England.
The man routinely calls for the murder of Jews and “colonialists” of all kinds as well as for more “suicide bombings” and more murders of police.
He routinely declares how much he hates “white people” and how they, get this, need to be killed and dominated.
Oh and he also declared his intent to “take over ur towns and rape ur women.”But I mean that’s obviously just a “joke,” as he says now. No Muslim migrants would ever take over British towns or rape British women. Obviously he’s just being satirical or something.
As is his wont, Ace’s mordant wit is astute enough, piercing enough, to incline me to just go ahead and laugh along with him. But in a very real sense, there’s nothing whatsoever funny about the situation.
Updated update! From the last Xweet Ace includes in his post:
NEWS: Egypt are planning to revoke the citizenship of Alaa Abd El-Fattah so he will be stuck in the UK
Sources inside the Egyptian Government have said this is to embarrass Keir Starmer and warn Britain not to pressure Cairo over human rights-related cases in the future
HUH. Kinda interesting, no? Looks like our own perfidious Powers That Be aren’t the only ones working a plan here.
Since everybody’s talking about Somalia and Somalis these days, here’s some seriously gripping stuff straight from the mouth of a man who was there, right in the thick of things.
Via Tactical Hermit.
Update! Probably shouldn’t even bring this up, but we had a HUGE CF fan and regular reader who also happened to be one of the Blackhawk pilots caught up that day in the chaotic maelstrom of intrepid warriors left to twist in the wind by careerist senior officers, conniving DoD rumpswabs, and vacillating, cowardly ProPols—an old, old story all too familiar to every US serviceman, from whatever branch, conflict, and/or era.
Anyhoo, I corresponded with this fella regularly for several years, got no idea where he might be now though. The inside stories of flying Blackhawks in both Mogadishu and elsewhere he related to me over those years I will NEVER forget, although he did make me solemnly swear not to say a word about it lest he wind up court-martialed for revealing classified informaion to a cake-eating civilian.
The Blackhawk Down saga is a heartrending revelation of how very far America had fallen by then—a downfall which has only worsened in the years since. If you haven’t seen the movie, you really, really need to correct that immediately. It will depress you, it will enrage you, it will discomfit and disturb you…but the incredible courage of those valiant American fighting men foolishly, callously dropped into the pot by so-called “leaders” unfit to carry their fucking jockstraps will amaze you no end. By the end of the flick, it’s the casual, dauntless bravery of those warriors that stays with you.
And if you didn’t already loathe and despise Jimmeh Peanuthead, I guar-on-damn-TEE that you will after watching this intense, perfectly-crafted movie. While we’re at it, fuck that goddamned brother-humping Ilhan Omar cunt-fart all to Hell and gone, too. Calls for a re-post of this timely classic, I do believe.
Heh. Make it so, Number One.
Day by day, it looks more and more like the JooJooJooJooJOOOOO-hatin’ Crackpot Right might very well be right about Britain having fought on the wrong side in WW2 after all.

Kudos and much respect to that brave, defiant handful, but the awful fact is that Once-Great Britain is gone. Which means that those valiant Aston Villa fans who dared to confront the foul Muzzrats are standing up for a cause that was lost long ago—so utterly lost is said cause that now, their own government, police, and all other British authorities are brazenly, unashamedly against them, waging war against native Brits instead of the vicious, unassimilable barbarian hordes brought in by their own fucking government against their wishes.
All in all, the situation in the former UK is disgusting, intolerable, and damned near beyond belief. But none of us on this side of the Pond needs to be feeling any too smug about the Anglishters’ awful plight: after all, our own Federal goobermint spent the last several years doing the exact same thing over here. Although Didact (Via WRSA) points out a few salient aspects:
Britain today is Exhibit A of Steve Sailer’s dictum that, if you invade the Third World, you then invite the Third World, and you eventually become the Third World. Modern Britain is well on the way to doing so. And, unlike the FUSA, where there is a colossal problem with illegal immigration – there might be as many as 50 million illegals in the US, no one knows the true number – the problem in Britain is with legal immigration, particularly from Shitholistans like India, Pakistan, and Nigeria.
In my view, that’s in effect a distinction without a difference. Can Americans straight-facedly tell ourselves that our problem is “illegal immigration,” when for years our own federal government has been distributing fliers and running ads in Central American shitrapies urging the immivaders to come right on in and bring the whole fam damiiy; America is eager to welcome them. Once over the border there will be no further pursuit of them by Border Patrol, ICE, local police, K9 teams, or any other law-enforcement entity. Better yet, the USG will fly them gratis into the interior, find them housing, and issue them a FederalGovCo ATM card preloaded with up to $5000 to spend however they wish. Moslems, sundry flavors of Hispanic, espionage-trained Chinese males of military age—Come one, come all! Alls you gotta do is get here, and you’re on Easy Street, baby!
Technically, I guess they ARE “illegal immigrants,” but when the central government has taken it upon itself to fling open the borders, issue blanket invitations to prospective “newcomers,” assist them in getting signed up for all available assistance programs, health care benefits, andjust basically see that their every need is met courtesy of Uncle Sam, no strings attached, it becomes kinda tough to think of them as “illegals,” no?
Here’s the depressing bit.
The proportional level of repatriation that will be required to restore Britain to its old ways, seems far higher and much more disruptive than what it would take in the FUSA – where it might take the mass expulsion of over 100 million people just to get things to calm the hell down. Yet there seems to be no real political stomach or appetite among the British people to force the issue.
I have never, ever, met a sadder or more apathetic bunch of losers than the modern Anglo-Saxons, who once created the greatest empire the world has ever known, and who brought light and civilisation to the most savage places on Earth. Almost none of them are willing to say what needs to be said. Almost none are willing to tell the truth about the immense damage done to their country by immigration, by Jewish financial and media control, and by the unworkable construct of postmodern globalism-liberalism.
*sigh* Just HAD to throw in that JooJooJooJOOOOZ© jab, dinchya? I very much doubt that British Pyrsnnz of JOOO are terribly thrilled about importing the selfsame yodeling, goat-humping jihadis so fanatically devoted to killing as many Jews as they can get their hands on. Now, LIBERAL Jews are another thing completely. It’s like I always say, the problem ain’t with the Judaism, it’s with the Left/liberalism. Eyes on the ball, people, eyes on the ball. We got problems aplenty to worry about as it is; no need to make up new ones to go with them.
As for that “repatriation” business, it simply is never going to happen. Things have gone way too far by now; Britain is beyond fixing at this point, even if sufficient will existed to take a stab at it, as Didact explains. To even begin dealing effectively with the plague f Moslem locusts w9uld requre a national effort almost as massive as D-Day, and it’s painfully clear that today’s British subject just doesn’t have it in him. Te agonized shrieks emanating from British liberals the instant the very first Muzzrat kiddie-diddler gets put on a bus for the nearest airport is an awesome thing to contemplate. All caring, compassionate, enlightened subjects of His Majesty’s Government would sooner set themselves on fire than to be so beastly to their new neighbors, don’tchaknow.
The rest of what Didact says in the two ‘graphs immediately above is 100% factual, fair, and accurate. I descry no credible argument to be made against ’em. Which is a damnable shame when you think about it; would that none of it were so, alas!. But…well, here we all are.
As I already said, no Yank needs to feel all prideful and superior about our own situation. Where Bad-Off Blighty now is, the US soon will be, unless steps are taken without further ado. We’re on the exact same road they are, and they’re not as far ahead of us as we like to think either. For years I’ve read that, to see where mainstream American will be in five years culturally and/or socially, just look at what’s happening in California at present. To know where we’ll be politically in ten years, look to our British cousins. According to my own observations, that precept has held up FAR more often than it hasn’t.
We’re sill two very different countries, two very different peoples, so don’t expect the resemblance to be exact—it won’t be. The divide between Over Here and Over There is probably least stark, least marked, in London, and even at that I can tell you that any Amercan on his first trip to London will think he woke up on an alien planet until he’s had a few days to settle down and get into the London groove. Some more profoundly old-school British villages like, say, Great Yarmouth or Hawkshead might as well BE on another planet. That said, though, we’re close enough nonetheless—too close for comfort these days, in fact.
No, sadly, tragically, Great Britain is lost, never to be brought back again—one of the verymost spectacular national self-immolations in human history. If we don’t pull our heads out of our asses and reacquaint ourselves with certain harsh truths tout de suite, we will soon be joining them.
On yesterday’s final reflexive twitch of the FUSA’s mouldering cadaver.
Live Around the Planet: Grim Morning After Edition
Lots going on in the world, but today’s show will likely be a special Two Points Up In Iowa! edition analysing all the great news from Tuesday’s mid-terms for the mid-terms:Zohran Mamdani made a pledge to New Yorkers in Arabic – here’s what it means
It means: If he can make it there, you should try making it to anywhere else while you still can. For those who thought Curtis Sliwa would be the spoiler, the Ugandan Twelver beat both Sliwa and the mass-murdering sex-fiend Cuomo combined, and then some.
Still, if you are heading for the hills, probably best to eschew Virginia, where the guy who fantasises about killing your kids is the state’s new chief law-enforcement official.
And probably best to skip Maine, where the kind of people who insist that Elon Musk waving his arm is a Nazi salute are happy to vote for a guy with an actual Nazi death’s-head tattoo smack in the centre of his chest.
The usual experts are happy to argue that it’s not such a bad night for the GOP because these were all Democrat races to lose. But it’s more basic than that: it’s not about parties; it’s about the country. If, like me, you’re a demography bore, the results in New York and Virginia aren’t surprising: thanks to a coalition of leftie sentimentalists, the government payroll and post-1965 immigration, one’s a post-American city and the other’s a post-American state. But keep waving that US Constitution! Even if stores only seem to be selling the Arabic version.
I’ve been on tenterhooks waiting for Mark’s first post-traumatic-election barrage to drop, obsessively checking Steyn Online ever thirty seconds or so, and as usual he doesn’t disappoint. Elsewhere, this story might make y’all feel a bit better about things.
Local NC Farm Steps Up Amid Schumer Shutdown
As the federal government continues to display its blatant dysfunction, communities are stepping up to take care of their own, and thank goodness. Here in eastern North Carolina, we have a local treasure called Pogies at the Farm, and they are stepping up in a big way: boxes piled with farm-fresh produce to neighbors in need for free.With a valid ID and SNAP card, folks can claim enough fruits and vegetables to feed a family of four for a week.
“There is no reason anyone should go hungry in a nation as plentiful as ours,” the farm posted on their Facebook page.
Corn, squash, potatoes, peppers, and apples are just a sampling of the bounty grown on the farm. If families want to purchase meat harvested from the farm’s livestock, they can get 30% off on Saturdays with the same credentials. So far, 200 boxes have been requested, but not enough have been sponsored. For $25, anyone online can help put food on someone’s table. Click here if you’re interested in helping.
Pogies at the Farm is open to the community in the form of free events, school field trips, and market days. Pogies also has a fishing and kayak business half an hour from the farm, offering summer camps, hourly rentals, and charters. I mention this because Pogies is wholly invested in our community in ways that I’ve not seen in other places. I am not at all surprised they are holding the line while the Schumer Shutdown lingers.x
Folks, it just doesn’t GET any more American that that right there: private citizens stepping in and doing whatever they can to help out their neighbors in need, rather than just sitting back on their lard-asses bitching, pissing, and moaning because De Gub’mink ain’t come riding in on the big white charger to save the day yet. Endless kudos to the good people at Pogies at the Farm for their kindness and open-hearted generosity. One last thing before we move along.
It is worth mentioning that I have no idea what Pogies’ political affiliations or preferences are.
Yeppers, I do believe it is worth mentioning at that. A big ol’ tip of Ye Aulde CF Chapeau to the folks at Pogies for that last line; that really shouldn’t be such a big deal, but these days it most certainly is.
These lifelong New Yorkers would like to cast their vote:
Heh. TAKE IT, DEEDEE!!!
Annnnnd off we go.

In sum, then, even in races where the D卐M☭CRAT penchant for violence, murder, and balls-out fascism was most pungently on display, the voters still gave the Party of Hate HUGE wins. Which makes the whole shebang an undisguised endorsement of violence, murder, and balls-out fascism on the part of said voters.
Which in turn means that next time you hear some cum-gargling Milquetoast of a “conservative” pundit going way out of his way to smarmily point out that the shooters, looters, and Rent A Mob thugs are just a tiny handful of radical-fringe dead enders, all Real Americans will henceforth be required to immediately punch the lame punk-ass bitch in thw mouth until he shuts the fuck up and slinks the fuck off.
What a fucking disaster. But hey, next time for sure, right, fellas? MOAR HOPIUM, NURSE, STAT!!!
Update! Not that I want to come off TOO Eeyore-ish or anything here, but insty’s friend in Update #1 above is a deal too nonchalant to suit me with that “Democrat areas elect democrats” crack. It’s true enough as far as it goes., but there’s nonetheless a distinction. to be made here between being unperturbed and confident, and being a blind fool—and that distinction is a crucial one. Glenn acknowledges this bitter home truth when he reminds us that today’s D卐M☭CRATs are not those of yesteryear, nothing like. They are openly, even proudly Communists, whatever they may or may not have been in your Grandpa’s day.
Today’s total Communist sweep, winning even the precious few races Repub candidates were expected to at least be competetitive in, is a full-throated and unequivocal notfication that this is no longer America That Was, that the D卐M☭CRATs are no longer the Loyal Opposition, and that the political landscape in Amerika v2.0 has shifted dramatically.
Snark if you will, but we’ll all soon see how deeply unfunny our predicament is. As for NYC specifically, I have to admit that I was kinda looking forward to watching those shitlib nimrods really getting theirs by putting the Red Jihadi into Gracie Mansion, but there’s a slight problem with that too, one that always and forever seems to crop up in such situations. To wit: the aftereffects of today’s self-inflicted injury will by no means be limited to Leftard NYC eedjits alone. Sorry, but thanks to, among other factors, NYC’s status as the Colossus of international finance and/or banking, with corporate HQs, Wall Street, the advertising/arts/entertainment/media industries clustering there, the pain from today’s’ bonehead maneuver will surely be felt across the entire nation, probebly the whole world as well.
And that right there exemplifies the problem I mentioned just now. Consider: how many of us have fantasized, in idle barside chitchat with friends, about finding a secluded island paradise where Left/liberal/Progressivist nitwits could set up the exact kind of government, society,and culture they claim to want? The catch being, of course, that once they debark the ship and set foot on Tardzania, they have to stay; they will never be allowed back here to plague normal, sane people again.
Thing is, heavenly as it sounds, it simply can’t be done, it’s unpossible, see. Due to their inmost nature—intransigent, bumptious, meddlesome, arrogant—shitlibs could no more leave others alone to live as they prefer, to conduct their affairs as they think best, than they could sprout wings from their backs and fly off to Mars. Put ‘em on a remote island where they can do as they please, not just sometimes but ALL the time, but which veritable Shangri-La 1) they are expressly forbidden to ever depart, an ironclad contractual obligation enforced by armed guards wiith deadly-force ROEs, and 2) has no (zip, zero, nada) access, either physical, visual, or auditory, to the Freemen back home in the States, and they’d be as miserable as a leper colony.
And the instant that realization hits home, that’s when the escape attempts will begin, quickly ramping up from once in a GREAT while to a several-times-daily event. Count on it. Best part about that is, they’ll be dropping onto the beach like seagull turds, as Security gets their rifles dialed in and learns to compensate for the drop and/or drift from that lovely ocean “windage.”
Updated update! A sensible New Yorker provides chapter and verse on Mamasboyani and the ride New Yorkers are about to taken for.
Every civilization faces a test. They rarely collapse from a single blow. Instead, they decay from within—through cynicism, decadence, and an erosion of shared beliefs. Augustine wrote The City of God to explain how Rome’s fall was not merely political, but spiritual: a people who no longer believed in themselves could not defend against their enemies.
Tonight, New York stands at a similar threshold, as voters head to the polls today to choose our next mayor. Among the names on the ballot is Zohran Mamdani, a socialist Assemblyman from Queens whose rise has sent shockwaves through New York, the Democratic Party, and our nation. His popularity signals how far the unraveling has already come. Like the birds of prey descending on Abram – symbols of forces that threaten the sacred – a flock of socialists has descended on New York. In the name of “justice,” they are gnawing at its civic and moral foundations, hoping to feed on its prosperity.
The speed of change has been breathtaking. It feels inconceivable that we stand here today. I write this piece not out of hatred for Zohran and his supporters, but love for New York. A city built over centuries that has been a beacon of light and progress for the modern world. As a central hub of the global economy, we now face the possibility of a mayor with virtually no experience, little practical education, and highly questionable values.
Mamdani represents, to me, everything I fight against.
I am concerned that Mamdani represents a burgeoning New Left, one in which American values like hard work and meritocracy are dismissed rather than embraced. Mamdani’s CV reflects a highly privileged adult life. Internships for his celebrity mother, rapping stints, endless protests – but little actual work. He holds a degree in Africana Studies from Bowdoin, where nearly every course description contains the same litany of buzzwords: gender, class, justice, imperialism, oppression. It reads less like a curriculum than an indoctrination — Wokeism 101.
He listed his ethnicity as African American on his college applications, despite being of Indian descent. His base is largely white, affluent, educated, downwardly-mobile elites. This group seems to believe that apartments in Brooklyn are a birthright, stolen by billionaires and landlords.
The stakes for New York could not be higher. This is the man that many in our city want to put in charge. A man with virtually no work or management experience, whose ideology treats financial success as sin, police as villains, and government handouts as the ticket to a life of “dignity.”
Now, we arrive at the Big, Tough Q’s.
Will New York remain a city of builders, doers, and dreamers under this kind of leader? Or will the builders leave, and take their incomes (and taxes) with them? The top 1% of New Yorkers cover 48% of income taxes. Scare them away, and we will be staring down a fiscal crisis unlike anything seen since the 1970s.
New York hasn’t been “a city of builders, doers, and dreamers” for many, many years, I’m afraid. As my friend Pfouts used to put it: “It’s a good thing they got the subway finished when they did. This ciry could NEVER build such a thing today, no way! A Chrysler Building, an Empire State? My God, they can barely even fill in a lousy pothole these days!” We shared many a good laugh over that one, although we both knew it was more true than it was funny.
Then again, except for isolated pockets here and there, the same transmogrification from builders and doers into pussies and geeks could be fairly said of the US generally. The kind of rugged, audacious, creative individuals who built not only NYC but America That Was itself seem to be mighty hard to come by nowadays, to our everlasting sorrow.
If not, will it ever be? Because I’ve come to seriously, seriously doubt that it ever will, myself.
There’s no reasoning with people like this
In an ideal world, I don’t think we’d all agree on everything, but we could find common ground on some things and at least respect that many we disagree with as still being fundamentally good people.The problem, as I like to say, is that we don’t live in an ideal world. We live in this one.
And in this world, we have people who cannot seem to grasp that their ideological opponents are real people. We also have people who seem to believe that their own side can do no wrong.
Some of those write for The Atlantic, and folks at The Federalist aren’t letting them get away with it.
The threat of left-wing violence against senior members of the Trump administration is so severe that families with young children are being forced to vacate their homes and live on military bases. According to The Atlantic, they had it coming.
Officials such as top adviser Stephen Miller, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, and an unnamed senior White House official have been forced to live in military housing, far more than in previous administrations, the Atlantic’s Michael Scherer, Missy Ryan, and Ashley Parker noted in a Thursday piece.
The authors have some thoughts about why, facing a dramatic uptick in threats and assassination attempts by leftists against conservatives, these officials might be uprooting from their family homes. The culprit, they declare, is “the nation’s polarization, to which the Trump administration has itself contributed.” Stephen Miller basically invited kooks to show up at his house and terrorize his wife and kids, see, by advocating for an immigration policy that hurts leftists’ feelings. (The irony is lost on The Atlantic writers that the group warning the Millers their kind will “not be tolerated” calls itself Arlington Neighbors United for Humanity.)
Miller, whom leftists like this guy publicly and casually fantasize about murdering, is “known for his inflammatory political rhetoric” and “regularly derides Democrats with inflammatory language,” the authors remind us. He was probably wearing a short skirt, too.
Of course, the military is to blame, too, because the fact that they’ll let key members of the administration live on military bases somehow invalidates the idea that the military defends the nation instead of just one political party.
Never you mind that only one party seems to see their ideological opponents as vermin who can and should be murdered at every opportunity, and will vocally call for their murder at every opportunity.
Never mind that this is the same group of people who believe the best response to disagreement is disenfranchisement of the electorate, forced re-education efforts, and literal concentration camps.
There’s only one way to make this stop, and it assuredly does NOT involve lawsuits, “dialogue,” peevish op-eds, or Voating HARDERER© at them.
From the title of this next one, you might get the idea that resident PJM squish Rick Moran has reached the end of his personal rope and is now ready to say fuck it and get down to serious business. You would be wrong about that.
The Socialists Are on the Rise in the Democratic Party Because They’re Not Dead
Actually, that’s perfectly true and accurate. Just not in the way Moran means it.
Tuesday, New York City will probably elect the very first authentic (as authentic as they can be), unashamed, unabashed socialist to the mayoralty of the second-largest city in the United States.
Urban centers in the United States where Democrats hold a massive registration advantage are susceptible to the siren call of socialism for two reasons. First, when resources are scarce, voting for someone for elective office who will promise the sun, the moon, the stars, and everything in between is a no-brainer. Instinctively, most voters know that what socialists promise is unattainable, but they hope and pray that some of the goodies will fall into their laps anyway.
Second, the wretched educational system in our largest cities guarantees enough low-information voters to elect Karl Marx himself. Voters not understanding the consequences of electing a socialist is how Zohran Mamdani will win the election on Tuesday.
In truth, the most significant advantage this particular socialist holds is that he’s not dead. No, I mean that. Mamdani’s energy is like a tonic to Democrats who not only haven’t had anything to cheer about recently but have been forced to vote for remnants of the 20th-century Democratic Party. Given the ideas of those 20th-century Democrats, they may as well have come from the 19th century.
The Democratic Party is old. The median age for Senate Democrats is 66 years, compared to 64.5 years for Republicans. A 2023 analysis found the average age of the Democratic House leadership was 72.
Their ideas are old. Someone should whisper in Chuck Schumer’s ear that the Great Depression is over and we no longer need the New Deal. The Democrats’ “new ideas” are socialism lite — almost as if Democrats are too cowardly to go full-blown socialist, so they combine the worst of socialism’s controls with the worst of capitalism’s cronyism. The result is Joe Biden, god save us.
Wrong again, boyo. The D卐M☭CRAT devotion to hardcore Marxism isn’t because they’re old, or their ideas are, or they’re out of touch, or they’re stuck in the mid-1930s, or any other such rubbish Nor is it all about standing up for the little guy, speaking for the voiceless, feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, or making life easier for the American working stiff.. For D卐M☭CRATs it’s purely, simply, and exclusively about POWER—seizing it, keeping it, wielding it, and expanding it. Nothing whatsoever else.
Anybody thinking there just HAS to be more to it is hereby urged to extract their head from their butthole, have a good, long look around, and get current already.
For the small handful who haven’t had quite enough of Once-Great Britainistan’s bullshit yet.

Found guilty of being a ((((****JooJooJooJOOOOO!!!****)))) in public, now a capital offense in certain less-enlightened districts.
Fucking lousy fucking Limey Pig. Choke to death on your own entrails, copper. Seems like a reinforced platoon of amped-up IRA shooters is never around when you really need one.
The pathetic embarrassment formerly known as Great Britain, America’s staunchest, most important ally? Not on your life; Jack. No conquered fourth-rate power whose native population consists mainly of contemptible curs too cowardly, difckless, and weak to rise up and fight their ongoing subjugation will ever be any kind of ally of mine. Except for that Tommy Robinson feller, that is. I like him.
(Via the Ace Place)
Moar Mark Steyn, men!
Because they made the mistake of sabotaging his escalator and then his prompter, the President of the United States opened up a supersized can of geopolitical whup-ass on the UN General Assembly this week, pithily summarised by many headline-writers thus:
Trump’s middle finger to the UN: ‘Your countries are going to hell’
In fairness, this insight was mainly directed at America’s “allies” in Europe. The particular hell they are going to will not be news to those who’ve swung by this shingle over the last twenty-three years, but I thought it might be worth doing a brisk tour d’horizon of where we’re at:
Follows, a tour de farce of some of the more farcical nation-states currently blighting this beleaguered blue marble, such as…oh, go on, take a wild guess…
*AFRICA
In 1900 the population of Africa was 140 million. That’s why it was possible for one continent to be entirely owned by another – Europe – and why a mere five dozen British civil servants could until 1956 govern the whole of the Sudan, reasonably well and better than any time since.
Today the population of African is one-and-a-half billion. In fact, the continent now adds the equivalent of its total 1900 population – 140 million – every four years. In 2020 Africa had 1.38 billion people; in 2025 1.55 billion people. By 2050 the UN projects another billion Africans. By 2070 – or Thatcher/Reagan to now – the world will have five billion (and falling) Asians, over three billion (and rising) Africans, and Europe and the Americas will be a bit of loose pocket change rattling around between those very round numbers.
It is possible, of course, that those numbers will not come to pass. A significant percentage of those three billion might decide to head to almost any Libyan port delivered by Obama, Cameron and Hollande into the hands of the jihad boys and procure passage on a northbound ship to be ushered by a German or Scandinavian “refugee” “charity” into an Italian port.
As with all things, we did this to ourselves: Western medicine eliminated childhood mortality in the most dysfunctional and corrupt countries on earth, thereby incentivisng millions (billions?) to head for a four-star country-house hotel in England. But, as it is, almost all population growth across the planet right now is coming from sub-Saharan Africa and the wackier Islamic redoubts. Would you stay in Chad when your cellphone is full of EU politicians insisting that “Diversity is our strength”?
To put it at its mildest, when do the citizens of countries “going to hell” at least rouse themselves to boo the cobwebbed clichés?
What more might one say about the Dark Continent, really? Leaving that insuperable mess aside, we’ll just avert our eyes as we shuffle on off to another Earthly garden spot, namely:
*THE MIDDLE EAST
I don’t write much about “Palestine” mainly because I haven’t had a new thought on the subject in a quarter-century. But forget, for a moment, the Jews: I understand many people find Jews all a bit Jewy and agree with that Brit Wanker Copper that it’s unacceptably provocative to have Jews strolling the streets looking “openly Jewish”. So set aside your antipathy to the Chosen; it is not in your interest to have another Islamic krappistan to add to the dozens out there.
There are fifty-seven members of the Organisation of Islamic Co-Operation; and, unlike the Commonwealth, at the UN they all vote as a bloc. So far Europe’s only member is Albania, but, given that over ten per cent of Albanian males are now resident in England it can only be a matter of time before the UK applies for “associate membership”. As it is, J D Vance has already suggested that His Majesty’s Dominions and the Continental powers are recognising “Palestine” only for domestic demographic reasons. Why would that surprise anyone? It’s in America Alone, for cryin’ out loud – although admittedly I wrote that when JD was in junior high.
Was “President” Mahmoud Abbas, now in the twenty-first year of his five-year presidential term, grateful for “recognition” by every Ukrainian rent-boy’s favourite bottom? No. He immediately demanded Sir Keir pay him two trillion dollars in reparations for Britain’s administration of its UN mandate for Palestine. The UK is broke but I suppose it could find the money if it, say, downgraded its Albanian sex-traffickers to three-star hotels.
But all “President” Abbas would do is sluice it to his sons, who, after a lifetime’s devotion to “Palestinian” public service are now among the richest men on the planet, thanks to USAid and its Euro-equivalents.
Abbas and the sewer he presides over are the problem not the solution. If conjuring into being such a “state” – with embassies in London, Paris and beyond – is the best we can do at this stage in the Great Game, our civilisation deserves to die.
Can’t quite make out how, for all his perception and analytical skills, Mark nonetheless managed to let the Tribe primarily responsible for the woes of the ME evade his notice here; probably another ((((****JooJooJJooJOOOOO!!!****)))) plot, I suppose.
Next, Steyn takes a quick, hard swipe at China before getting around to the main event.
*THE UNITED STATES
America’s 1950 moment is drawing to a close. If it ends with every US “ally” going off the cliff and the BRICS crowd collapsing the dollar, its three-quarter-century dominance is unlikely to be regarded by posterity as a grand success. Both scenarios are quite likely: for everyone accept the US and its client states, the inauguration of the post-dollar world is simply a matter of agreeing the timing. As for going off the cliff, whether one can remain a First World society of 400 or 500 million is an interesting question, but you’re severely worsening the odds with all the diversity wankerama.
To be sure, Donald Trump has spent the last nine months demonstrating an energy in the executive unimaginable in France or Germany, Canada or Australia. However, he is stymied at every turn by the industrial-scale hollowing out of every institution from your local kindergarten to the Pentagon. A third-rate politicised judiciary – with an extraordinary number of foreign-born judges whose English comprehension does not apparently extend to the separation of powers – is confident it can stall the President’s drive and determination until the next election.
Furthermore, the United States is the fons et origo of every madness afflicting the core west, starting with mass trannification. Millions of apparently sane people, including your children’s teachers and your hospital management (and, in Minnesota, your governor), purport to believe that this is as much of a woman as the late Claudia Cardinale.
Lots more yet to come, folks. This being Mark Steyn, you won’t want to miss a single word of it, I’m sure.
Update! In the excerpt above, Steyn casually flays those who “purport to believe that this is etc etc,” with a link appended to “this” which I didn’t transcribe, as per usual. I just went and checked out said link, and great Googly Moogly! I figgered I knew what I’d find there, but as it turns out it was even worse than I dared imagine.
OOF! Also, ICK! And for good measure, YIKES!!!
Imagine, if you will, being a pretty teenage girl intent on zipping into the Ladies’’ for a quick, much-needed wee before dashing off to Principles Of Marxism class, only to descry that fucking gargoyle leering at you from the doorway of one of the stalls, just before he slams you bodily to the floor, tears off all your clothes, and rapes you.
Imagine, if you will, this creep’s rancid BO; the dank, greasy feel of that filthy t-shirt; his revolting cigarette-cheap-beer-and-Cool-Ranch-Doritos breath; the nose hair-singing piss/shit/jizz/scrote-sweat reek wafting up from his grayish-yellow tighty-whiteys as he slithers out of his raggedy Chinese Levis knockoffs; his rough, encrusted tongue crawling lIzard-like over your neck, face, and tightly-clamped lips.
Meanwhile, you thrash your head furiously from side to side, eyelids squeezed shut as if not seeing might offer some protection from feeling.. Your mind wails over and over that NO, NO, NO, THIS ISN’T REALLY HAPPENING TO ME, THIS CANT BE HAPPENING!!! Just when you notice one of the brute’s hands is insinuating itself into your clean, thick, curly hair, the other one is pinching your now-exposed left nipple roughly, painfully.
I say again: YIKES!!!
Always remember, it’s sickos like the scrofulous weirdo depicted above that shitlibs will defend to their dying breath as perfectly normal, in fact admirable and praiseworthy. Moreover, such creatures should be given full and unfettered access to your young sons and daughters to abuse, terrorize, and harm them in whatever fashion they deem fit.
If you haven’t figured it out already, there’s no time like the present: the REAL problem here isn’t so much the predatory perverts themselves but the vile and soulless shitlibs backing them. Do away with the latter and the former will soon subside back into the shadows of obscurity, oblivion, and disapprobation which had been their lot until fairly recently.
Starving these freaks of the instant celebrity, the exaltation, the manufactured glamor, and the societal and cultural breathing room provided them by the Conniving Left will do the trick right enough. After all, such things are to officially-designated Victim Class crumbums as nutrient-rich soil, water, and proper sunshine are to green plants.
Apropos of tonight’s Eyrie thang, Steyn piles on by way of the recent Milan riots.
What were they rioting over? Well, I saw one report describing it as an ad hoc alliance of pro-Palestinians, leftist unions objecting to Meloni, and assorted neighbourhood “migrants”.
Whatever. It doesn’t really matter, does it? I mean, it’s not like twenty-five arrests at a Tommy Robinson rally, two-thirds of whom turn out to be anti-Tommy counter-protesters. All that can be said for certain is that, if you live almost anywhere in the western world, violence is in your future. For the moment, it comes overwhelmingly from the political left and their various shock-troops, whether Antifa or your local migrant sex-fiends. Because the left are the most turned on by it. Even the comparatively peaceful ones can’t stop salivating over the thought of killing you. Here, for example, a perfectly nice respectable American lady – probably listens to NPR – has a grand old time beheading an effigy of Trump:
Do stay tuned for the punchline. At the end she turns around and has what we used to call the golden rule emblazoned all over her T-shirt:
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
So does that mean Trump supporters can decapitate, say, Kamala Harris?
Well, no, because, if you lopped off Kamala’s head, it wouldn’t make any difference. The most stupid and incompetent major-party candidate of the modern era has just “written” a book seeking to explain how everyone’s favourite glass-ceiling-shattering Montreal schoolgirl somehow failed to beat a “convicted felon” who spent most of campaign season in court. So, to pitch her book to fellow wine-moms like the decapitator above, Kamala has been out on the plug circuit. Shooting the breeze with leftie superstar Rachel Maddow, the former vice president calls the current president a “tyrant” and a “dictator”…
For any aspiring tyrants out there, if you’re wondering how to become one yourself, all you have to do is win Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania in the Electoral College. That’s how all the tyrants and dictators do it.
Is Ms Harris not worried that, by de-legitimising her opponent’s lawful, peaceful and democratic victory over her good self, some excitable types might try to, say, shoot his head off?
Oh naw naw naw NAW, that would never, EVER happen! Right? RIGHT?
RIIIIGHT?!?
Of course not, you big silly. I simply have to include this next bit because of the gleeful way it rips renowned baglapper and/or Lefty rumpswab Keith “Upper-lip-sweat” Olbermann all to bloody gobbets and then scatters the pieces all over the lot.
I briefly caught Mr Olbermann’s attention a decade or three back, and, from what I can recall of it, he struck me as a big pansy fagulous trannifilarious nancy poufter mincing dweeb of a homicidal maniac but who likes sounding butch by saying “motherfucker” a lot. Yet, in a functioning society, it should not be incumbent upon Scott Jennings to judge whether the guy specifically menacing him actually means it or is just an insecure over-compensating loser. As noted here an hour or so after Charlie Kirk’s death, at least seven Internet posts appeared to have foreknowledge of what had yet to happen.
I have joked for years about jihadist nutters being fully paid-up members of Local 473 of the Amalgamated Union of Lone Wolves. But the leftie nutters are beginning to feel like that, too. One half of the political spectrum is so drunk on its bloodlust they don’t even notice it. “Denver’s oldest gay bar”, for example, took the trouble to create a new cocktail and make a sign for it…
The old definition of a gay bar was: one hundred bottoms looking for a top. It requires a perverse genius to re-imagine it as one hundred bottoms looking, in the Britannic sense, to top someone.
YEEOWTCH, that made my butt hurt! Now brace yourselves for the heady, thrilling denouement.
Over two decades, I have occasionally quoted the words of the French philosopher Alain Finkielkraut: “The lofty idea of ‘the war on racism’ is gradually turning into a hideously false ideology,” he said in 2005. “And this anti-racism will be for the twenty-first century what Communism was for the twentieth century: a source of violence.”
Bloodlust mixed with moral preening is a uniquely toxic cocktail and, unlike those available at the R&R bar in Denver, it will not be content with merely a single shot.
DAMNED good squishy there, Mark. Yet again, I must remind y’al of the one, the only rule that matters: THEY SHOOT. WE DIE. Unless and until that changes, we’re all just whistling Dixie here, I’m afraid.
Update! A timely and very much related reminder from the esteemed Eric Raymond.
In one of my previous analysis postings, I outlined three possible scenarios for the future after the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
This corresponds to scenario 3, the one where insurrection edges into a simmering civil war a la Bosnia. I caught some flak in my replies at the time from people who thought an insurrection based in urban areas isn’t practical under modern conditions.
Antifa thinks it is. It’s what they’re planning for.
One of the things I have to remind myself of occasionally is that most people know essentially nothing about Communist theory and Communist revolutionary tactics.
Antifa is running the classic Communist playbook. Make the enemy fight you where you are strong and they are weak – where you have support among the people and (when possible) cover from sympathetic local officials.
Historically that has usually meant fighting from rural areas where the reach of the government is weak. But the Russian Revolution was an exception, and the revolution Antifa is trying to fight is another. Their natural home ground is large coastal cities run by left-wing Democrats.
ESR also provides ironclad evidence to support his contention in the above-quoted Tweet/X/Whatever.
Man, I really gotta come up with some kind of nomenclature to refer to those blasted things.
Sleeping through it update! Another ringing endorsement of refusing to go on playing the Left’s game by the One Rule mentioned above.
Somehow it is inconceivable to anyone on the political right that anyone might actually mean what they say about politics and actually be willing to fight for any of the things they claim to be willing to fight for.
Maybe Right Wingers could just look at the people saying “We hate you, we want you dead, and we are committing violence against you” and right wingers could think that they’re committing violence against you, and maybe they hate you, and they want you dead… and maybe you should hate them back?
What did you think “Civil War” meant? Vibes? Essays?
If the state’s monopoly on violence is corrupted to serve evil… would it not be time to break that monopoly? To enter that monopolized market with a new disruptive innovations, so to speak.
If the government is a usurper regime that doesn’t represent you, and is dressing up tyranny under cover of a barely feigned playact of legitimacy… Well you’re American, what did your founders do in such a situation?
Yet Even as millions of leftists openly celebrate this shooting and wish for more of them to happen, and openly state that they’ll see any who commit said shootings as heroes worth celebrating….
It is inconceivable to the Right Winger that immortal fame, their own sincerest convictions, true hatred, the judging eyes of their political forefathers, and the celebration of MILLIONS might actually be worth doing or risking something over.
Just sit back and pay taxes and keep his head down whilst serving the enemies who hate him and paying for their six figure salaries in government employment whilst waiting for more people to “wake up”… Even as they brainwash his kids to hate him, and “cut ties”, and cut their genitals off.
Just wait bro, more people need to wake up!
Kennedy was shot 60 year ago. The first people to “wake up” are in nursing homes.
You’ve waited so long for people to “wake up” that the majority have fallen back asleep and died of old age.
Yeppers, so it would seem.
Whataboutist update! Margolis handily dispenses with the noxious “Both sides” canard.
To maintain their crumbling narrative, the left weaponized a deeply flawed study from the CATO Institute’s Alex Nowrasteh, which purports to show that right-wing extremists commit the majority of politically motivated killings in America. This convenient talking point has been parroted everywhere to deflect from the fact that their side just murdered one of conservatism’s most prominent young voices.
But when you actually examine Nowrasteh’s methodology—which I have—the whole thing falls apart faster than a House Democrat’s promise to secure the border.
Take Timothy McVeigh, labeled “right-wing” despite his ideology having nothing to do with traditional conservatism. McVeigh was an anti-government extremist whose rage stemmed from Waco and Ruby Ridge, not conservative principles. The man rejected both political parties, described himself as agnostic, and supported abortion rights.
Then there’s Anderson Lee Aldrich, the Club Q shooter, branded “right-wing” despite identifying as non-binary and suffering from documented mental illness. Peyton Gendron, the Buffalo supermarket shooter, gets the same “right-wing” label even though his own manifesto explicitly identified him as an “eco-fascist national socialist”—hardly traditional conservative ideology. The study also classified a couple who killed a sex offender as perpetrators of “right-wing” violence despite the fact it was a personal vendetta with no apparent political motivation whatsoever.
Even more telling is what Nowrasteh’s study leaves out entirely. Notice how the data shows a convenient dip in 2020—the same year America witnessed the most destructive riots in its history. The George Floyd riots caused billions in property damage and at least nineteen deaths, yet somehow none of these deaths made it into his tally of political violence.
The Waukesha Christmas parade attacker, who drove his truck through a crowd in 2021 killing six people, also got left out. When you correct for these glaring omissions and misclassifications, the numbers between left-wing and right-wing violence become roughly equal—and that’s just examining the past decade.
But, the narrative that political violence is a right-wing problem took another hit this past week, when, Anibal Hernandez-Santana, a 64-year-old former legislative director for the California Federation of Teachers, decided to turn his politics into bullets with a drive-by shooting at the local ABC station. This wasn’t some random act—it happened just one day after protesters gathered there with their usual signs calling Trump “Hitler” and his supporters “fascist enablers.” Hernandez-Santana absorbed that mood of righteous fury, posted calls for Trump’s demise on social media, and then carried his left-wing politics into the realm of violence.
And that wasn’t all. Saturday night in Nashua, New Hampshire, 23-year-old Hunter Nadeau opened fire at the Sky Meadow Country Club, killing one and injuring at least two others while shouting “Free Palestine!”
The truth is unavoidable: the left doesn’t just tolerate political violence, it cultivates it. They spent the summer of 2020 making excuses for rioters while their media allies described burning buildings as “mostly peaceful protests.” They’ve created an atmosphere where their followers believe they have a moral obligation to commit violence against their political opponents.
We keep hearing lectures about “rising extremism on the right,” but the evidence keeps piling up showing exactly where the real threat is coming from. A popular conservative leader gets assassinated. A leftist union operative shoots up a television station. An anti-Israel radical sprays gunfire into a country club. And somehow the left still thinks it can wag its finger at conservatives?
Well, naturally. When you’re not merely comfortable with spewing brazen lies in the face of obvious truth but have actually come to prefer it that way, wagging a finger self-righteously at your hated enemies begins to look like pretty small beer.
Over the last cal-three weeks, I’ve received quite a few emails from readers expressing concern over the recent spate of those irritating “Cloudflare” bloggus interreptus pages demanding that they establish their bona fides as actual human beings before being allowed to proceed to the CF main page. “Is this Cloudflare twipe legit,” most of my correspondents have asked, along with other such queries as “has the site been hacked,” and “is this malicious?”
Well, most unfortunately, after this weekend I can now assure you that this Cloudflare incursion is indeed malicious, and must therefore urge everyone: do NOT cick on any links, nor C&P any code urged upon you, nor comply with any other seemingly innocuous instruction presented by these imposters. That second diabolical stratagem is how they suckered me, resulting in the complete crippling of my trusty old iMac, which now won’t boot up at all—not into Safe mode, not into Rcovery mode, not nothing.
In short, my beloved iMac, along with every file stored thereupon–from blog-database backups, to archived emails, to registration/unlock codes for software I bought and paid for years ago, to all my locally-stored music, to my vast stockpile of memes going back several years–has now gone the way of the dodo thanks to the suckers of dead donkey dick behind this fecking great shower of shite, which malefactors I would cheerfully throttle with my bare hands if only I could.
I’m now stuck using a MacBook Pro laptop given to me by friend Chris a while back, whose whopping fifteen (15) inches of screen real estate is a far cry from the 27” monitor screen my elderly eyes are accustomed to. As you would probably assume, having to continually lean waaaay forward and squint to see what the fuck I’m doing has already become a real pain in the…back, neck, and shoulders, actually.
So again, I caution you all: Trust not in anything under the guise of “Cloudflare” trying to interpose itself between you and this site, or any other online destination for that matter.
In happier, albeit unrelated, news: thanks to the fine folks at OPC in Pineville, NC, (that’s Orthotic and Prosthetic Center to y’all non-cripples), looks like I might be up and walking again in another month or thereabouts. More on that as it develops…
The slow, steady takeover everybody swore “could never happen here” continues apace. Thankfully, Greg Abbott seems committed to thwarting it.
Jihad, Texas Style
The Lone Star State braces for a new “Muslim community.”It’s happened all over Western Europe. In Amsterdam, several neighborhoods, including the Oud-West, De Pijp, and De Baarsjes, are now heavily Muslim. So are Molenbeek, a Brussels suburb, and Gruddalen, the vast valley that forms much of the eastern half of Oslo. Four out of ten people in Tower Hamlets, London, are Muslims, as is nearly thirty-five percent of the population of Luton. Several of the banlieues, or suburbs, of Paris are no-go zones; Marseille is about one-third Islam. The Rinkeby district of Stockholm is heavily Muslim, as are parts of Malmö, not to mention the Nørrebro neighborhood of Copenhagen.
Yes, there are non-Muslim residents in these neighborhoods, but their numbers are steadily dwindling. They live in an ever-intensifying state of siege. It’s dangerous for them to come home at night. At school, their sons are beaten up and their daughters are sexually harassed. Every day, they’re reminded who’s in charge, and it’s definitely not them. More than many other people in Europe, they can see the continent’s future very clearly. Needless to say, it’s an Islamic future.
Which, obviously, is the reason those non-Moslem (former) residents’ numbers are “steadily dwindling.” Unfortunately, this ain’t the kind of problem from which one can just run away forever. Regardless of how fast, how far, or how long you run, the menacing Moslem hordes will catch up with you ere the end. The lesson here is stark, and likewise altogether obvious. Too bad, then, that most of Western Civ is so mulishly determined to ignore it. Such wilfull obliviousness will cost the West dearly at some point, probably sooner than later, and paying up is going to hurt.
Which is why we should all be worried about EPIC City, Texas. I’d never heard of it until just a few weeks ago. Since then, I’ve heard about it again and again. Maybe the word hasn’t gotten to you yet. If not, here you go. EPIC City, according to an April 3 report by Caroline Vandergriff of CBS News, is a proposed “Muslim community” that is a project of the East Plano Islamic Center (hence the name EPIC) in partnership with a real-estate firm called Community Capital Partners. The plan is to construct “a thousand homes, a mosque, apartments, a school and more” on 402 acres in Collin and Hunt counties near the town of Josephine, about an hour northeast of Dallas.
Since the initiative was announced last year, the leaders of the Islamic Center have hired Dan Cogdell, a leading Houston lawyer, “to help them navigate multiple state investigations” that were ordered by Governor Greg Abbott. In reaction to Abbott’s criticism of the EPIC City venture, Cogdell told Vandergraff that his clients “aren’t foreign adversaries” but “Texans.” “Americans.” “United States citizens.” And their only goal, he contended, “is to build a community that allows them to live together with people who value family and faith.”
Yes, that’s what they want to do – but it’s not all that they want to do. They want to do Molenbeek and Tower Hamlets and Groruddalen one better. They want the total Muslim experience: no kafirun (infidels) with their uncovered wives and daughters and haram puppy dogs. If you wanted to defend EPIC City, you might point to the way in which the Amish settled Lancaster, Pennsylvania, or the Mormons’ establishment of Utah. But neither the Amish nor the Mormons have a doctrine of jihadist conquest. They aren’t instructed to despise non-believers or throw homosexuals from rooftops. Their sexual politics may be old-fashioned, but they’re light-years more advanced than Islam’s.
At least one Texan realizes this. In addition to ordering investigations into the shadowy characters involved in the EPIC City venture, Abbott has demanded a construction halt, but has been ignored. Dismissing Abbott’s expressed concern about the possible imposition of sharia law in EPIC City, Cogdell told Vandergraff: “No one associated with that community follows sharia law or is in favor of sharia law.” Nonsense. One survey of Western Muslims after another has shown that an unsettling majority of them want to live under sharia law – and expect to be living under it before too long. The goal of broadening the ambit of sharia law, after all, is a major reason why millions of Muslims moved from their native lands to the West in the first place. It’s called expanding the umma. It’s called turning the Dar al Harb (House of War) into the Dar as Islam (House of Islam), one block at a time. And lying about it to infidels is called taqiyya.
Which last, according to the Koran (yes, I HAVE read it; more than once, actually), is not only pardonable but strongly, explicitly recommended. In fact, in practical terms it’s obligatory, a directive issued from the very mouth of Allah His Own Bad Self—never to be contradicted, never to be questioned, only to be reflexively, mindlessly obeyed, just as the Religion of Peace Submission demands of the pig-ignorant 10th-century throwbacks who hew to it.
Which just goes to show how much even rural Texans need to learn about Islam. Well, if the EPIC City initiative isn’t stopped in its tracks, they’ll be learning a great deal about it soon enough.
They most certainly will at that—more than they ever wanted to, to their everlasting sorrow and regret. You’d think they’d know better by now—you’d think we ALL would. And yet.
All this après-9/11/01 stuff and nonsense, mind, deep in the heart of the once-great Republic ofTEXAS, of all unlikely places? The sovereign State a great many of us ReichWingNaziDeathBeast types looked to as our last-ditch refuge when the fecal matter finally impacts the rotary impeller everyplace else? Jeez O PETE, man! That just might be the toughest, most bitter-tasting aspect of this ginormous shit-circus to wrap one’s head around.
For so long, so many of us have found it comforting to think of good ol’ Texizz as the last bastion of traditional American sanity, civic mores, and freedom—that, despite the slow, sinister purpling of major Texas cities like Dallas, Austin, Houston, and others, Real American Normals would always have Texas, come Hell or high water. Wouldn’t we? Of COURSE we would! Why, some of us even went so far as to buy great big ol’ belt buckles, Stetson hats, and uncomfortable, exorbitantly expensive cockroach-stomper boots to ready ourselves for the frabjous day we’d at last make that Last Big Move South’ards.
And then some shit like this happens.
Read the whole thing, I implore you. It’s about as disquieting a piece as I ever have seen, anyplace, at any time, on any topic. Uncomfortable reading though it surely is, it tells us that it is now imperative that the last remaining illusions be shattered, that the last remaining veils be lifted from the eyes which stubbornly refuse to look upon the situation as it really, truly exists: clearly, unblinkingly, honestly. If nothing else, we owe that much (at least!) to ourselves, to our Founding Fathers, to our posterity.
As for this sellout asshole Cogdell and his fellow slimery, slithery creatures who support this mind-boggling obscenity, every man Jack of them ought to be summarily strung up for high treason. Unless somebody out there comes up with something even worse to do to his/their sorry ass(es) in the interim, that is. I’m thinking something agonizing; permanently scarring both mentally and bodily; life-altering in the most negative way imaginable; profoundly, unforgettably humiliating; and, eventually—after interminable years of suffering so wrackingly intense that very few Normals who’ve never had to cope with…
…could believe it was even possible—fatal.
Update! Apropos of nothing much a-tall, I just had to note that weird spelling, kafirun, from the excerpt. In all my many years of studying up on Mooselimbs and the Islamic pseudo-religion—beginning way back in college with two (2) semesters of Comparative Religion I took for no better reason than A) I found the subject interesting and B) I was a huge fan of the professor, who was an affable nut—I never did run across that one before. The more familiar-to-me rendition is kuffir, or khufir, or something else along roughly similar lines. Translation can often be a tricky thing, particularly from Arabic languages (as with Chinese, Greek, and Cyrillic, it’s a whole ’nother alphabet entirely, not even slightly congruent with English) but this’s a new one on me for sure.
Stephen Green shares some deeply disturbing news.
I Could Live With the Egg Shortage, but NOT THIS… NOT THIS
We can argue all day and all night over whether the massive poultry cull was necessary or not, but two things are 100% certain. The first is that fewer birds producing fewer eggs gave us yet another massive spike in the price of eggs, typically an affordable and easy-to-prepare protein depended upon by jillions of people. The second is that I just learned of something worse.Actually, let’s talk about that bird cull for just a moment. I did a little research on that a couple of weeks ago, thinking I might get a column out of it. I gave up on the column because half the reports I read indicated that the bird flu test is subject to false positives and that massive numbers of egg hens were unnecessarily slaughtered. The other half indicated no such problem. So I threw up my hands and abandoned the column.
But on reflection, since the cull was an act of the Biden administration, and since everything it did was either wrongheaded, spiteful, or both, I’m going to ignore half my research and just tell you that it was the wrong call. “I was going to buy eggs, but then escrow fell through” is the fault of the Biden administration, and it didn’t have to be that way.
I feel better now. But we’re both about to feel worse — if, like me, you have a minimum two-cup-a-day coffee habit.
As consumers, we’ve been lucky so far. Coffee, I learned today, is the second-most traded commodity after oil. If you want to know what the planet really runs on, it’s two very different kinds of black liquid, both packed full of energy. What it means for coffee drinkers is that the source and price of the cup you’re sipping right now were locked in months ago, maybe longer. What it also means is that as those futures expire and traders lock the new ones in, higher prices get locked in, too. Maybe much higher. Maybe double.
It’s already happening.
As Stephen goes on to detail, it is indeed—and for some of us, that’s terrifying. Personally, I share our old friend Steve’s view on the matter: eggs I can live without, coffee…ehh, not so much. I never have much enjoyed eggs unless they were scrambled, covered in shredded cheddar, and doused liberally with Tabasco, usually sharing a platter alongside a double order of hash browns scattered, smothered, covered, peppered, and diced at Waffle House during one of those bleary-eyed noontime “breakfast” stops as the band was heading out for the next town.
Denny’s, you ask? Don’t make me laugh.
Ever since eggs went from Source Of All Bad Things Including But Not Limited To Heart Attacks, Climate Change, and Raycissismism to Nature’s Perfect Food practically overnight, I’ve taken to hard-boiling the yucky things (NO runny yolks, not EVER), slicing them in half, and then sprinkling each half with Tony Chachere’s Creole seasoning before sending them down the hatch, one per day strictly to keep the doctor away. Go messing around with my beloved Luzianne w/ chicory, though, and me and you gon’ FIGHT.
Guess the “moderate” imam is supposed to be on vacation that day, or something.
What’s Going On? Pro-Hezbollah Imam Set to Give Benediction at Trump’s Inauguration
A deeply antisemitic, pro-Hezbollah imam is set to give a benediction at Trump’s inauguration next Monday, and many Trump supporters who had been happy to see Trump’s repeated affirmations that he would support, not betray, America’s ally Israel are now scratching their heads. What’s going on? Was this just an oversight, a failure to vet the Dearborn Imam Husham al-Husainy properly? Or does it herald a real policy shift in the incoming Trump administration?There are other signs of such a shift, with the chief among them being the fact that Israel and Hamas are close to a ceasefire in Gaza. Back in June 2024, Trump declared: “Let Israel finish the job in Gaza.” Yet back in Oct. 2023, not long after Hamas massacred 1,200 Israelis, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the goal of Israel’s war in Gaza was the “elimination of Hamas.” He has reiterated this more than once since then, making it clear that he will not consider “the job” to be finished until Hamas no longer exists as an organized group. Israel has rejected Biden regime ceasefire demands for the perfectly cogent reason that they would allow Hamas the chance to survive and regroup.
Now, however, Israel seems to have resigned itself to Hamas’ continued existence, as the New York Times reported that “Israel and Hamas are ‘on the brink’ of agreeing to declare a cease-fire in Gaza and release hostages held there, Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken said on Tuesday.” Not only is Hamas not eliminated, but it might even end up in the government of Gaza again once the war ends, contrary to repeated Israeli declarations that this must not and would not happen.
And now comes al-Husainy to give one of the four benedictions at Trump’s inauguration. Al-Husainy is an open supporter of Hezbollah who, back in 2006 at a Dearborn rally in support of the terrorist group, “held the picture of Hezbollah leader [Hassan] Nasrallah aloft on the stage.” Then in Feb. 2007, al-Husainy appeared on Fox’s Hannity and Colmes, where Sean Hannity asked him: “Will you admit that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization, sir?” Al-Husainy answered: “That is your explanation.” Hannity pressed him: “This is a yes or no. Is Hezbollah a terrorist organization? Yes or no? Is Hezbollah…” Al-Husainy responded: “No.”
If this is what “winning” looks like, then yes, I am in fact tired of all the winning already, and he hasn’t even been sworn in yet.
