History is Everything, and Everything is to be Questioned.

In today's edition I have two pieces of my own: A Deranged Party of Karens, and Baton Rouge and White People's Money, followed by what I think are five exceptional pieces by others.
- Hostages versus IDF soldiers and Israel’s security By Daniel Greenfield
- 9/11: Some Say, “Always Remember,” But Many Have Already Forgotten By Robin Itzler
- "Stupidest Litigation" Update By Francis Menton
- Another Left-Wing Tax Hypocrite By Dan Mitchell

And Now, The World as I See It!
Yesterday I reported that Graham Linehan was detained by the UK police for daring to tweet something they found offensive. And this kind of censorship has been going on for years. The big joke in the UK is Prime Minister Starmer says there's no lack of freedom on speech in the UK, and he'll arrest anyone who says differently. If the Brits paid as close attention to actual crimes being committed in the UK the upcoming political upheaval wouldn't happen, and it's going to happen. The Brits have had it, finally. Now Graham Linehan is considering suing the London Police over his trans tweets arrest. One of the things I've noticed in my life is there are people you really don't want to start a war with, and it appears Linehan is one of them:
The left-wing government and the police appear to be panicking over the fierce backlash sparked by the arrest of Graham Linehan, as the celebrated Irish comedy writer landed at London’s Heathrow Airport on Monday.
Freedom of speech is only a right if you wish to criticize England, Christianity, and western civilization, and you had better not dare display a British flag in Britain, that will get you arrested.
People can only be pushed so far, and a revolution is in the making in Europe and especially in the UK. In the UK you can get arrested for flying the British flag because it might offend Muslims, who drive through the streets of the major cities of the UK flying flags of Muslim nations, and nothing is done about it. If you defend yourself against pedophiles you get arrested and the molesters are sent home. Maybe the girl with the axe should run Scotland. The vast majority of Brits think the U.K. is in a‘Bad State’, and expect it to get worse as Britain’s economy is slowly crumbling.
The parliamentarian style of government is invariable a coalition government created with conflicting parties. It's complicated, confusing, and I think nuts. Although the next general election in the UK isn't until 2029 there's an uproar in the works. The Brits are rallying for Britain, and I'm expecting to see Starmer ousted, the Parliament dissolved, and new elections called. If that happens Farage will be the next PM, and he's not willing to form a coalition government
How bad has crime been in Washington DC over the years? How many remember Mayor Marion Barry, one of the most corrupt politicians in America, who was mayor from 1979 to 1991? Here was his take on crime in Washington all those years back.
“If you take out the killings, Washington actually has a very low crime rate".
Why do people listen to Democrats? How insane must people be. Mamdani insists he will not compromise on seizing production, a religious tenant of communism, right along with seizing private property, especially home ownership as that's a weapon of white supremacists. All of which has been a failure forever, and everywhere. And since it appears he is going to be elected the conclusion is the people of NYC are nuts.

If Democrats couldn't lie, they couldn't talk. Rahm Emanuel falsely claims Jan. 6 rioters killed police officers, and what worse is it's a really stupid lie as everyone knows the only one killed was killed by a police officer, a stunningly shady police officer. And he's the least insane sounding candidate for the Democrats in 2028.
One thing about the Pravda media is their consistency. They lie, twist, and create stories that don't exist, and while that's backfiring regularly, a scorpion just can't help but be a scorpion. They're desperate to destroy Trump in any way they can, so NBC interviewed Epstein victims hoping to expose Trump. They got just the opposite outcome.
This article appeared in American Thinker, The war for MAGA media: Why cash and clicks splinter the right, discussing how some "conservative" writers, like Tucker Carlson, have gone a bit bonkers. I commented (edited) saying, you say all this acting surprised? The media mantra has always been, if it bleeds it leads, and people will always be people. However, I’d like to take a broader view of your position.
To support our point, we look back at the Obama administration’s IRS targeting of Tea Party and conservative groups. It began the day after the late National Treasury Employees Union President Colleen Kelley visited the White House. A coincidence? Possibly. But it is not out of the realm that she was making a preemptive strike because Senate Republicans were thinking about banning unionization at the IRS. She needed to neuter the GOP.........
The left hates cheap energy, Trump’s energy agenda delivers cheaper gas, the left delivers the opposite. The left hates voter ID, since if they can't cheat, they can't win, Americans overwhelmingly want voter ID in place in order to vote, which is interesting since the RINO's in the Republican party are resisting Trump's ban on mail in ballots,a known major source of voter fraud. There’s a reason the Republicans are called the “cognitively impaired”, AKA, stupid, party. They earned it. Trump's crackdown on the Mexican cartels has cost them 0ver $1 billion dollars, and the left goes insane, well actually, they've stopped trying to hide their insanity.
That's the world as I see it, today, and that's only the tip of the iceberg.
and the Social Circles Promoting That Behavior.
And finally, this piece is an example of the kind of rationalizations I’m talking about. However, after saying that we must understand, leftism, like malaria, is a chronic disease that's always with us. No matter how dormant it may be at any given time, just like malaria it can unexpectedly re-emerge, and with a vengeance.
The Alternative media is currently ascendant, and the Pravda media is going down the drain, but that’s an illusion. And that illusion must not be embraced, instead be always armed, always alert, always faithful, and the biggest reason why is because I know at some point the Alternative media will become infected with that chronic disease. How do I know that? Because that’s history, and that history is incontestable.
Do we really want to fix government? If so then we need to end the insanity of public employee unions, and the IRS presents the perfect example of how dangerous they are to the continued existence of the American republic.
