The Duchess is a Victim and Football is Gay.
The 'Identity Politics' that has engulfed America’s cultural landscape, a divisive ideology steeply rooted in Marxism and fueled by racial narratives, has spread like wildfire through America’s most cherished institutions. As we have all witnessed lately, resists or dare to question the motives of its doctrines results in suspicioning at the least, dismissed as a racist at the worst. Americans who have gone about their lives as normal are now asking themselves, “What the hell is going on?!” It's simple. America has allowed a generation of radical extremists to commandeer society, ... read more
Workers who are paid not to work--a Biden disaster
Some of you think those economy crippling benefits have stopped. They haven't. If your favorite restaurant closes or shop owner locks the door, it may not be supply chain. It's no one will work when being paid to stay home. "Back in July, the federal government was still paying enhanced benefits to the unemployed—even though many in Washington, including prominent Democrats, were warning that the federal handouts on top of state unemployment payments were creating a big disincentive to go back to work. That extra federal payment, which had begun under President Trump and was exte... read more

Further to the previous post...
Some thoughtful parts of the left side of politics are calling out the kind of coverage provided by the likes of *The Andrew Marr Show* today and echoing some of the points I made earlier: *Sam Freedman, New Statesman*: Does seem odd that the focus in so much of the papers *[Craig - and on the BBC]* around David Amess's murder is around political discourse. I'm all in favour of less shouty/angry hyperbole in politics but it wasn't why he was killed. It's almost like everyone's rehearsing the arguments made when Jo Cox was killed (after which discourse did not, of course, improve in... read more

ICYMI: Days Of Rage Edition (10/17)
The anti-crt movement is rapidly changing form into the anti-public education movement. Well, maybe not so much changing as revealing.

''We need to be clear what happened here''
*Jewish Chronicle* editor Stephen Pollard tweeted this a few minutes ago*:* Two vital issues are being confused in debate after David Amess killing. Discussion is needed over the tone of politics and social media etc. It is dangerous and toxic. But from what we know, that is a separate issue to what led to the killing of David Amess. Amess was, it seems, killed as a result of Islamist terror. We could have the most civil politics ever and it would not change the motivations behind Islamist terror. We need to be clear what happened here. Someone replied that the ''confusion'' is ... read more

The Collapse Into Chaos – Where Only God Makes Sense

''The Somali element – erm, no''
If ever a tweet could be said to have been sent 'with attitude' it was surely this from BBC News Home and Legal Correspondent Dominic Casciani yesterday: Lots of speculation about the identity of the suspect in the dreadful killing of Sir David Amess. We have learnt from official sources that detectives have established the individual is a UK national, seemingly of Somali heritage. We report this in the interests of accuracy. As usual with Dominic C on Twitter, it was carefully worded so as *not* to say exactly what was on his mind, merely to strongly hint at it. However, he th... read more

If American Wants to Prioritize Peace, It Must Formally Recognize Taiwan
*Samuel Teixeira* *China-Taiwan War, East Asia* Taiwan isn’t represented at the institution specifically created to avert a third world war: the United Nations. If the United States is to continue stationing troops in Taiwan, then it must also pressure the United Nations to admit them.
