Buckingham Palace was bombed during WWII (britishheritage.com). . ."While of course King George and Queen Elizabeth were shaken by the bombing, the incident would actually go on to bolster the reputation of the Royal Family in the eye of the British public.
"The King and Queen were advised by the Foreign Office to immediately flee the country. Their steadfast refusal showed courage and a commitment to the United Kingdom that the public appreciated.
"In a statement to the nation, the Queen exclaimed 'The children will not leave unless I do. I shall not leave unless their father does, and the King will not leave the country in any circumstances, whatever'.
"This defiance in the face of the German Blitz gave the country a much-needed boost in their war efforts, and undoubtedly forged a sense of unity throughout the United Kingdom. ". . .
. . ."Cali’s nuttiness has only just begun under far-left Gov. Gavin Newsom, but already it’s wreaking havoc on the state’s economy. No sooner had California issued its new rules moving the state toward all electrical vehicles than it was slammed with record heat. The state then told EV owners not to charge their cars.
"Don’t charge your car? As a recent Newsweek headline blared, “California Wildfires, Blackout Fears Create Conflict for Electric Car Users.”
"What business would want to relocate to California or expand there if it can’t be guaranteed a steady, reliable supply of reasonably priced energy? The answer, of course, is no business would.
"The truth is, California is anything but a model for others to emulate. However, it is a perfect model for what other states — and the federal government, for that matter — should not do.". . .
California sits on enough energy-producing resources to power the entire country. By an order of magnitude.

. . .On Christmas Eve in 2016, just weeks before Trump took office, a Drexel University political science professor, George Ciccariello-Maher, pulled an attention-getting stunt on Twitter: “All I want for Christmas is white genocide.”
RealClearInvestigations "In a 2021 lecture at Yale Universitytitled “The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind,” psychiatrist Aruna Khilanani described her “fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way, burying their body and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away relatively guiltless with a bounce in my step, like I did the world a favor.”
Donald Moss: His scholarly article said whiteness is “a malignant, parasitic-like condition." No cure, either.
"Around the same time, a scholarly article in a peer-reviewed academic journal described “whiteness” as “a malignant, parasitic-like condition to which ‘white’ people have a particular susceptibility.” The author, Donald Moss, had also presented his paper as a continuing education course for licensed therapists who would presumably treat patients with this condition. The paper advises: “There is not yet a permanent cure.”
"This is a sampling of the new racism that is gaining purchase in American society even as its advocates relentlessly punish speech they deem harmful and threatening to people of color. It parallels the acceptance of anti-male rhetoric that casts masculinity as “predatory” and “toxic,” or just casually demeans males as oafish and clueless, which allows the Washington Post to give a megaphone to Northeastern University professor Suzanna Danuta Walters to ask: “Why can’t we hate men?” (Her conclusion: We can and we should.)". . ."The escalation of this inflammatory rhetoric is reaching the highest levels of American society, as when President Biden insinuated in a fiery campaign speech last week that Donald Trump supporters are “white supremacists” and when he maligned conservative mask skeptics last year for “Neanderthal thinking."
"What strikes a casual observer is that such language would be instantly denounced if it targeted racial minorities or other protected groups. Just as remarkable is that this new rhetoric is not coming from dropouts and loners at society’s margins; it is being advanced by successful professionals who have scaled the heights of respectability and are given a platform on social media and in prestigious cultural outlets.". . .

"According to The Wrap, the former White House press secretary for President Joe Biden told an audience at a conference in Beverly Hills, California, that her new MSNBC show will be dedicated to “debunking things, calling out BS.”
“First of all, my business is not rage,” Psaki said Wednesday at Vox Media’s Code Conference.
“ 'What I hope to do is bring that passion for explaining things, debunking things, calling out BS when you see it to my next job,” she said.
"The streaming series doesn’t drop until 2023 — but if you need a preview, Psaki went on to demonstrate just how dedicated to calling out BS she was.
"The Wrap reported that Psaki “called analysis that saw Biden’s speech Thursday as partisan ‘bizarre,’ noting that ‘there’s a tactical component of what he’s saying publicly … but it’s not a reflection of a change in his view.’”. . .
Battenfeld: Jen Psaki joins corrupt media revolving door (msn.com) "Just mere weeks after leaving the Biden administration, Psaki announced she’ll be shilling for the president and Democrats and raking in big bucks at the far-left cable news network — further blurring the lines between the government and media.
"According to MSNBC, starting this fall Psaki will appear across all programs on cable and host her own streaming show on Peacock, which will probably be just as successful as Chris Wallace and Jim Acosta’s shows on CNN.
"She’ll also be a regular on MSNBC’s left-leaning coverage of the midterm elections and 2024 presidential election.". . .
"President Biden ripped Trump in a campaign speech as a semi-fascist who incites hate, while Trump ripped Biden as an incompetent imbecile. This is turning quickly into a zero-sum game. The last time they met, Biden told Trump I want to see you in prison, and Trump said I will visit you as often as I can." Argus Hamilton
The White House has allegedly been upset with CNN over its recent coverage of President Joe Biden and his administration.
The White House had disdain for their reporting of Biden’s speech Sept. 1 in front of Independence Hall where the president attacked “MAGA [Make America Great Again] Republicans” as a threat to American democracy, according to Politico. The administration was specifically upset about the network’s focus on the optics of the speech, most notably the blood red background, according to Politico, which cites an individual with knowledge of the situation.
CNN anchor Brianna Keilar condemned the appearance of two Marines who stood in the background during Biden’s speech. She said the military is supposed to be apolitical and their presence during a political speech is “wrong.” White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates hit back at her remark, saying the speech was apolitical.
Amid a heat wave, warnings were sent out not to recharge electric vehicles during peak hours.
"A massive heatwave has come to California, so citizens of the Golden State may beenduring triple-digit temperatures for a week. The pressure the heat will throw onto the state's power grid has prompted an emergency call for citizens to reduce electricity use during peak early evening hours. Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom hasdeclared a state of emergencythat temporarily eases some state regulations limiting operations of thermal power plants and portable generators.
"Though it is true that such a ban will reduce emissions, switching to electric vehicles will over time dramatically increase the strain on California's power grid. If everybody in California went out and bought electric vehicles tomorrow, it would probably be an energy disaster.
"That's probably not going to happen for a few reasons. California solely plans to ban sales, not all operation of gasoline-powered cars. Millions of Californians won't and probably can't afford to transition to electric vehicles within the next 13 years. Though California has the most electric vehicles registered of any state (550,000), that's out of more than 14 million total vehicles, so still a drop in the bucket.
"In that sense, the slow-but-steady adoption of electric vehicles should give the state the opportunity to actually plan for an increase in energy demand. On Wednesday, lawmakers voted tokeep the nuclear power plant, Diablo Canyon, openuntil at least 2030. It had been scheduled to be decommissioned by 2025.". . .

American Thinker. . ."The original objectives of the Civil Rights Movement and the soaring rhetoric of Martin Luther King, Jr. in August of 1963 awakened nearly every American. Thereafter, citizens of all races and creeds joined in the battle to permanently erase the stain of institutional racism from American society. Within less than 18 months, legislation was passed protecting the voting and civil rights of all citizens regardless of race, ethnicity or creed.
"However, in the mid-to-late 1960’s much of the Civil Rights Movement was hijacked by the radical left and their Marxist allies in black militant groups in order to legitimize and mainstream their anti-American Marxist movement. They did so by infiltrating the leadership and organizing demonstrations and militant marches. Both factions espoused the overthrow of American society using supposed irredeemable American racism as the primary tool of revolution. They soon realized the power of the racism accusation in a society determined to rid itself of the stain of institutional racism. A plurality of the citizenry unwilling to condemn their tactics due to manufactured guilt for the past paved their path to power.
"It became clear to the radical left that revolution in the United States would not be accomplished by the centuries-old tactic of class warfare but in unending racial politics. That’s why they unceasingly instigated racial animosity, a tactic eventually given governmental imprimatur by Barack Obama. The result: a society torn asunder by never-ending racial demagoguery.

But Abston refused to tell police what he had done with Fletcher. On Tuesday, police announced they’d found her body. Big story, right? MSNBC cut away from the press conference on this abduction-murder about four minutes in. The New York Times put the story on page A-20.
Ann Coulter"The country is experiencing an historic surge in violent crime, and the link between Democratic policies and the crime wave is more firmly established than the law of gravity.
"Republicans — are you guys awake?
"This week, the Democrats and their auxiliary staff in the media gave less attention to the grisly kidnapping and murder of Eliza Fletcher than they did to two black girls allegedly snubbed by a performer in a Muppet costume a couple of months ago.
Fletcher, a 34-year-old hardware heiress, kindergarten teacher and married mother of two, was out for an early morning run near the University of Memphis campus on Friday when a 38-year-old career criminal, Cleotha Abston, leapt out of his SUV and dragged her, kicking and screaming, into the passenger side of his vehicle.
Based on copious evidence, including video and DNA, police arrested Abston almost immediately. His career highlights include a lengthy juvenile record: theft, aggravated assault, aggravated assault with a weapon and rape — as well as the violent kidnapping of a prominent attorney, whom he drove around in the trunk of his car for hours, looking for ATMs.
"But Abston refused to tell police what he had done with Fletcher.
"On Tuesday, police announced they’d found her body. Big story, right? MSNBC cut away from the press conference on this abduction-murder about four minutes in. The New York Times put the story on page A-20.
"The old media motto “If it bleeds, it leads” has been replaced with “No stories that would make black people — or more to the point, white liberals — feel uncomfortable.” Fletcher, you see, was white, and Abston — well, as the black police officer said to my friend reporting a violent assault, “Black, right?”
"Given that Memphis has recently elected a Soros-style Democratic district attorney, the kidnapper will probably be back on the street before the hapless Muppet impersonator is employable again.". . .
Election Denier Jamie Raskin Says Denying Election Results Is Fascism – Def-Con News (defconnews.com)"Democrat Jamie Raskin is on the J6 Committee, which is trying to prove that by denying the results of the 2020 election, Donald Trump is guilty of fomenting a “deadly insurrection.” Raskin has stated that denying any election results is a hallmark of fascism. In related news, Raskin has denied election results.
"In defense Joe Biden’s MAGA hate speech last week, Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin went on “Face the Nation” to outline what he called the, “two of the hallmarks of a fascist political party.”
“ 'One, they don’t accept the results of elections that don’t go their way, and two, they embrace political violence. And I think that’s why President Biden was right to sound the alarm this week about these continuing attacks on our constitutional order from the outside by Donald Trump and his movement,” said Raskin.
"According to Raskin’s rules, if a political party doesn’t accept the results of elections that don’t go their way and embraces political violence, that party is fascist.
"Democrats not only embraced but also encouraged the Summer of Floyd riots as well as political violence against conservative Supreme Court Justices for striking down Roe v. Wade. They definitely check off that box. As for denying elections, here’s Raskin in 2017 attempting to delegitimize President Trump’s victory:". . .
