Lola, the Scottish girl; The question, then, is where does the truth lie?

  Andrea Widburg

Lola, not Mayah

"The story of the Scottish lass arrested for brandishing a knife and axe in the face of a migrant who was apparently threatening and taunting her swept through the West. This bold young woman symbolized the fighting spirit of those who are sick and tired of having their governments flood their countries with hostile Muslim migrants who act like conquerors, entitled to lodging, food, and rape. After a day or so of stunned silence, though, the British establishment has struck back with a story of an innocent Bulgarian couple threatened and taunted by a crazed teen.

"The question, then, is where does the truth lie? For those who have seen the British government’s hostility to the Britons, the answer seems clear." . . .

A ‘Palestinian’ woman desperately tries to defend the indefensible

 Andrea Widburg 

"What I learned today. Racism against black people is okay if it’s Palestinians that are being racist because they’re “more oppressed”. I didn’t know that racism was okay depending on perceived level of oppression." Comment to this post.


"A fascinating video on X shows a young woman who identifies as a “Palestinian” spending almost nine minutes trying to explain why her black, pro-Palestine friends were wrong to be offended when West Bank denizens referred to them as “monkeys” and “slaves.” Watching her intellectual contortions is impressive as she tries to hide a fundamental fact: Arabs despise blacks.

"A little history is appropriate. The African slave trade to the West probably wouldn’t have existed were it not for the Muslim Arab slave traders. It did not matter to them that many of the Africans whom they sold into slavery were fellow Muslims. What mattered was that they were black. To that end, during the era of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, Arab traders happily brokered an estimated 12.5 million black Africans into demeaning and often deadly slavery.

"The Muslim Arab world also got its “cut” of black African slaves. Indeed, the internal Islamic slave trade in black Africans equaled or even exceeded the Transatlantic Slave Trade, with 10 to 15 million Africans kidnapped from Africa and sent into Muslim territories from North Africa to the Middle East to Turkey and the Balkans.

"The slave trade only ended in the early 20th century. This contrasts with the Transatlantic passage, which was shut down 100 years before, and American slavery, which ended half a century before in a welter of blood, as hundreds of thousands of white Americans fought to end the immoral scourge on their land.

"Despite the millions of blacks who were sucked into the Arab and Muslim world, few left behind descendants. ChatGPT even volunteered to explain to me how castration caused the difference between the internal Muslim slave trade and the Transatlantic Slave Trade: . . ."

Liberal media bends over backward to avoid 'misgendering' gunman who murdered kids in church

 Joseph MacKinnon  

Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears weighed in, telling Maher and the liberal writer, "Hang on, you know what: This person murdered six people. I don't really care who you say you are. You murdered six people, and three of them were children."

Broc Smith

"Trans-identifying degenerates have carried out or attempted to carry out a number of mass shootings in recent years.

"For instance, in March 2023, a trans-identifying woman stormed into a Presbyterian elementary school in Nashville and murdered three 9-year-old children — Evelyn Dieckhaus, William Kinney, and Hallie Scruggs — and three adults — teacher Cynthia Peak, custodian Mike Hill, and head of school Katherine Koonce.

"In April 2024, a male-identifying woman planned to shoot up an elementary school and a high school in Maryland but was thankfully stopped in time by police, then later convicted.

"The liberal media has consistently used used the preferred pronouns of these and other murderous trans-identifying criminals in an apparent effort to coddle the offenders and to placate LGBT activists.

"A trans-identifying man formerly known as Robert Westman shot up a Catholic church full of children in Minneapolis on Wednesday, injuring 17 and killing two kids, ages 8 and 10. After the shooter was revealed to be a so-called "transgender," the media once again feverishly rushed to accommodate and reinforce this delusion.

"CNN talking head Jake Tapper noted on his show that the gunman's mother "applied to change her child's name in 2019. It was at one point Robert Paul Westman."

" 'But since she identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification, was underage, it's now Robin Westman," continued Tapper, faithfully employing the killer's preferred pronouns." . .  . More...

MSNBC’s Rebrand Can’t Save It From Itself

 The Spectacle  "MSNBC is being forced to drop the “NBC” from its name and ditch the Peacock logo along with it. Now rebranding as MS NOW, the network is attempting a makeover that few will fall for. And with Variety openly wondering how television should depict “American fascism,” the timing of MSNBC’s rebrand couldn’t look more ridiculous. (READ MORE: Variety Is Now Actively Rooting for the End of Hollywood)

"On this episode of The Spectacle Podcast, hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay break down MSNBC’s decline, why this rebrand signals weakness rather than strength, and how the mainstream media will continue making the mistake of alienating the public. Melissa and Scott also dig into how Hollywood’s obsession with portraying “fascism” will only deepen the cultural rot, effectively sealing the coffin on the dying establishment media. (RELATED: At MSNBC, Rising Tensions Fuel Fears of Collapse)"

Gavin Newsom Announces He Is Anti-Crime Until Next Election (Parody)

 



Babylon Bee


SACRAMENTO, CA — Gavin Newsom's poll numbers have skyrocketed after he recently announced that he will be anti-crime until the next election.
" 'We all know how much I love crime, but I've decided to temporarily reverse that stance and start prosecuting crime," said Newsom in a statement. "It turns out people don't like crime."
" 'Please rest assured, I will go right back to ignoring crime as soon as I'm elected," insisted Newsom. "I'm not a MAGA fascist, after all."
"Sources say police departments in the state are already responding to the Governor's new initiative by arresting violent criminals who need to be arrested. "Wow, this is great! I've always wanted to know what it felt like to be a real cop who arrests bad guys," said one cop who's been with a cop for 10 years. "Thanks, Gavin!"
" 'In California, crime doesn't pay," said Newsom, sporting a cool new orange hairdo and makeup. "Gee, I sound pretty tough, huh? Vote for me!"
"At publishing time, Newsom was forced to end the crackdown as there was no more room in the prisons."

"Basically, the federal government sentenced every American to solitary confinement. My son died during this period. No funeral."


. . . "I am full of joy because most Americans no longer trust the federal government. Hooray! The Great Awakening from the Age of Stupidity (aka the last 16 years since Obama became president) has begun.
"Americans are tired of a federal government that lied about Covid, lied about trannies and lied about illegal aliens.
"Gallup reported, “Just under a third of U.S. adults (31%) say they have a lot or some trust in the federal government to act in society’s best interest, according to the latest survey from Bentley University and Gallup. This figure is substantially lower than those who say the same about charitable organizations (80%), state and local governments (50%) and businesses (43%).”
"This shows only 31% of Americans are stupid enough to trust the John Boltons, Peter Strzoks, Tony “Baloney” Fauci and a cast of thousands who ran the government without adult supervision—until now. Big Daddy is home.
"That poll revealed 69% of the country distrust the federal government because they are not retarded.
"President Trump and his Team of Team Players are firing the Fauci wannabes who believe they know best and that democracy doesn’t count when we elect a president who doesn’t bow down to them.
"Of course the New York Times hates this. It reported:
Trump Targets Agencies Long Seen as Above Politics. Critics See Big Risks.
"Well of course critics see big risks because those critics are deep-staters who don’t like a president cutting into their power.
"In his first presidency, Trump was hampered by election deniers in government who did not accept Hillary’s defeat. He learned. This time he is saying, “You’re fired” to political appointees. He does not have to give them a reason because they serve at the will and pleasure of the president.
. . . Now the independence of each of these American institutions is in question after President Trump, in a push to root out pockets of independence of government, has fired or taken steps to fire their leaders.
"The story is a fairy tale because there is no such thing as an independent agency in the federal government because the Constitution makes the president the chief of the executive branch of government. The CDC, the BLS and the Fed report to the only official elected by the entire country (presidents pick their vice presidents). If Trump ain’t happy, nobody in the federal government should be happy." . . .



"Oil giant Shell USA is the latest corporation to be held accountable for the racial discrimination that has been a hallmark of the DEI era, and is facing a lawsuit over an alleged purge of white employees.
"A lawsuit was filed this week in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas on behalf of two former workers who say they were fired from their longtime jobs and replaced with less qualified employees as part of a “racially discriminatory reorganization that targeted white employees.”
"America First Legal (AFL) is suing on behalf of Kevin Taylor and Michelle Romak, who were ousted based on alleged discrimination over their skin color as a part of “radical diversity, equity, and inclusion mandates” that are clearly in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act."...
“Shell’s apparently racially motivated purge trampled federal law, destroyed the careers of two dedicated professionals, and placed thousands of Shell employees at risk,” America First Legal Attorney Jacob Meckler said. “America First Legal will not stand by while corporations attempt to flout the rule of law in the name of ideology.”

The Perfect Timing of Safety Last!

Safety Last 1923 
"One of the best contructed full-length comedies of the twenties. Harold Lloyd was not as outrageously inventive as Chaplin, nor as sentimental. His style was a kind of minimalist one, taking a simple idea -- say, being a hasseled salesman in a clothing store and needing desperately to become a success -- and building on that small situation until, by the hilarious climax, he finds himself swinging from the bent minute hand of an oversized clock on the side of a building many stories above the street. (Human flies were popular around this time, as were flagpole sitters and goldfish eaters.) When a mouse crawls up the leg of his trousers, not only does Loyd go through a sort of break dance trying to get rid of it but when he finally does shake it out, the mouse falls down the wall of the building and in the process removes a toupee from a spectator peering out of a lower window. All of this without matte work. Not to say that the earlier scenes in the store aren't extremely amusing, because they are. Loyd had a very mobile face and like most silent comedians a deft physical manner. He makes a splendidly fawning salesman. A very funny movie indeed, and thrilling as well. Any five minutes of the climax, taken at random, makes one dizzier than whole sections of Clint Eastwood or Sylvester Stallone hanging around the Eiger or elsewhere in the Alps. Somehow, Loyd managed to make a self-deprecatory joke out of his athletic skill, while nowadays stars use what amount of it they have as an opportunity to show off their bravery and, when possible, their bulging muscles. Let's hear it for the silents."

Victor Davis Hanson: The Left’s Disturbing Defense of Violent Criminals

“Crime apologist” is not a strong enough term to describe the hysteria and vitriol that’s infected the modern-day Left.  "For the sake of ideology, left-wing leaders and activists are willing to sacrifice public safety and justice—from sanctuary cities releasing violent offenders to outrage over federal intervention that actually reduced crime in Washington, D.C. Victor Davis Hanson warns of the dire consequences of this mindset if left unchecked on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Do you remember the UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson? He was a person from the middle class, was born without status or advantages or money, and he worked himself up to the leadership position of one of the largest health care concerns in the United States. And Luigi Mangione—a 25- or 26-year-old wealthy, well-educated kid, high status, privileged—decided that he was an enemy of the people because health care was not universal and UnitedHealthcare may have refused coverage to certain people in need. So, he decided he was going to kill him. And he did kill him. He murdered him. It's on tape. And what was the reaction of the Left? Some on the left canonized him.


"The left’s “heroes” are too often liars, criminals, or violent radicals—canonized not for virtue, but for their usefulness to the progressive cause."

. . . "So it became easy to immortalize a Garcia—as long as he does not live next door.

It is virtuous to praise publicly a Mangione—unless he is armed and hiding in wait for your parents.

Smollett is a noble victim, at least when you’re not a cop at 3 AM trying to sort out all the preposterous lies of Jussie’s noose, bleach, and “bruises.”

“Hands up, don’t shoot” is a catchy civil-rights call to arms—at least when Michael Brown is not strong-arming you in a store or he is not charging you head down." ...

Thanks to Hamas, He Came Back Alive, But Not Whole

Eleven months in the presence of evil.

Quora; Israel Observer  "On one side of the story, time looks frozen—a soldier in uniform, standing tall and proud, his fiancée leaning into him with love and certainty. Their future looked secure, full of promise.

"But on the other side, everything had changed. Eleven months in captivity left him hollowed out. His body was reduced to skin and bones, his face etched with pain. The same woman stood beside him, her love unshaken, but now holding on to fragility instead of strength.

"Yes, he came home. But he wasn’t fully home." . . .

"He whispered about the days in the cell—airless rooms, the smell of rot, the belt strikes, the freezing water that made his skin burn, nights spent shivering on cold concrete.

“ 'We didn’t count people,” he said. “We counted shadows.”

"Survival isn’t the same as living.

"Back home, the war followed him. Darkness made him tremble. The sound of the doorbell froze him in place. The mirror often reflected not himself, but the prisoner he once was. His fiancée tried everything—her voice, her touch, her presence—but when she tried to reach that locked place inside him, the answer was always the same:

“ 'Don’t come in. I haven’t left there yet.”

"And so, the war continued. Not with bombs or bullets anymore, but in their home. In silence. In memory.

"Because some wounds don’t bleed on the outside. Some wars don’t end when the fighting stops." . . . More...

Graphic video shows Israeli father throw himself on grenade to save sons during Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack

Greta Thunberg, are you watching? Never mind; she and her handlers refuse to watch this propaganda.

 NY Post  "A new terrifying video shows the moment Hamas soldiers slaughtered an Israeli firefighter in front of his two young sons on Oct. 7 — and helped themselves to Coca-Cola while the wounded boys screamed in horror.

"The filmed attack on the Taasa family was shown as part of a roughly 45-minute compilation of clips from the terror group’s deadly 2023 assault that killed 1,2000 Israelis.

"It was presented to world leaders, diplomats and journalists Friday."

The father's body is blurred out after he threw himself on the grenade.

. . . "Inside, the pair of brothers inspected one another’s wounds.

"Koren revealed he cannot hear out of his left ear, while Shay said he can’t see out of his eye — with Sabine later describing that her little one’s eye is “hanging half out of its socket.”

"That’s when the elder brother told Shay, “Dad’s dead, Shay. I’m not joking. It’s really not a prank.”

"The younger boy tragically replied: “I know. I saw.”

"The boys both suffered a series of emotions, with both wailing that they didn’t want to die like their father had and questioning why Hamas had left them alive." . . .

"The Taasa family also lost their oldest son Or Taasa, 17, that same morning while he was on his way to the Zikim beach to fish with his friends.

"A separate video taken in the aftermath of that massacre showed the bloodied bodies of several civilians inside a bathroom." . . .

From the comments: 

"Kindly force every single protester and activist who supports these terrorists watch the horrific footage from that day, including the members of Congress that openly abandon their Oath of Office by supporting our enemies. Godspeed to the families who have endured such tragic losses."

'Lazy Butt': Gavin Newsom Comes for Sen. Kennedy in Crime Debate, Probably Wishes He Hadn't

 Sister Toldjah

           Sen John Kennedy: Newsom Put The Funk Into Dysfunction

"One of the tactics Gavin Newsom has used over the last several weeks to try and get the upper hand in the crime debate is using misleading and, in some cases, false crime data impressions in an attempt to make the case that red states have bigger crime issues than California, while proclaiming crime in California's biggest blue cities is allegedly down by double digits.

"A frequent target for Newsom and his Baghdad Bob School of Communications graduates has been Louisiana, not just because it's a red state but also because it's home to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).  

"In a recent interview with left-wing YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen, for instance, Newsom said, "I think [President Trump] should start with Shreveport, Louisiana, and Speaker Johnson's district, that has six-plus times the per capita murder rate of Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco. What about the carnage, Mr. President, in Shreveport? Why aren't you protecting the folks there?"  

"As usual, however, Newsom - and his handlers - were way off the mark. The vast majority of Shreveport is in Rep. Cleo Fields' district. He's a Democrat. 

"As we've also reported, Sen John Kennedy (R-LA) has had a lot to say about Newsom's seeming "conversion" to crimefighter, something Kennedy instinctively understands has everything to do with the Trump Effect, where Newsom has been shamed at the national level by the POTUS into taking action.

" 'Now you don't have to be a senior at Caltech to know that [Newsom's law enforcement surge is] in response to the Trump administration's threat to send in federal law enforcement officials," Kennedy stated Friday during a Fox News segment. "But look, I'll take it, if that's what it takes to get Gov. Newsom to stop being a princess, I'll take that, too."

"Newsom, in turn, filed a hurt feelings report over being called a princess, responding to a tweet from Kennedy by claiming without evidence that, "We’ve been doing this work for years. Perhaps you should take a page out of our book. Your state’s homicide rate is 380% higher than California’s."

"Naturally, Kennedy - who has previously referred to Newsom as a "weenie" - has responded accordingly to Newsom's attacks on his state as only he can: . . ."    More...

A California school district goes trans crazy

 Mike McDaniel  

To the TVUSD, any girl who wants to preserve feminine modesty and privacy is mentally ill. Guys who want to ogle girls and wave their junk in the shower are the very model of modern gender sanity. Trans boys aren’t a problem, sane, decent girls are. They’re depriving Johnny/Joan of her/their trans rights!
Here in Nevada, we need to stand firm. Our daughters deserve dignity, safety, and privacy – without needing a government permission slip.

"Gavin Newsom’s California is crazy and proud of it. Californians are particularly nuts when it comes to trans. While the reelection of Donald Trump has given most of America cultural and legal permission to restore sanity to that issue and others, releasing a national sigh of relief, California seems determined to die on that political hill. 

"For much of California, “trans rights” which don’t exist in the Constitution or anywhere else, smother the rights of girls and women, particularly where the trans is a guy pretending to be a girl. Such mentally ill boys, or even merely perverse boys who want access to naked girls in bathrooms and locker rooms, must be praised and protected at all costs. The Temecula Valley Unified School District is leading that ignoble battle:" . . .

How can Democrats be so wrong on everything?   
"Such is the case with today’s Democrat (they’re not democratic)* party.  Much has been written on their being on the wrong side of every 80/20 issue.  I have previously noted here that the party appears to be aligned with the demonic principles of Baal and Jezebel.  How else does one explain their celebration of abortion, the chemical and surgical castration of children, placing graphic pornography in K–12 schools, and welcoming thousands of vicious South American gang members into our country?"    *Emphasis mine.
