Something has come to my attention that needs to... be addressed before delegates go to vote for U.S. Senate candidates tomorrow in Duluth. Adam Schwarze has publicly stated in an interview with Alpha News that he founded a nonprofit called “Defending Freedom and Democracy.” (EIN 87-2717401) It’s on video. Well according to campaign finance records, that nonprofit sent $200,000 to a group called “Wyomingites Defending Freedom and Democracy, Inc” which funded the effort to keep Liz Cheney AFTER she voted to impeach President Trump. Think about that for a second. Now a group called the “Sheepdog PAC” has been funding texts to delegates saying that Michele Tafoya $10 donation to Liz Cheney BEFORE Cheney voted to impeach Trump. The Sheepdog PAC argues that this is disqualifying by the way — and guess who the Sheepdog PAC is associated to? Adam Schwarze’s campaign. So Schwarze’s campaign wants you to believe a nonprofit that routed six figures into a political operation backing Liz Cheney AFTER she impeached President Trump is irrelevant, but a $10 donation BEFORE Cheney got TDS is disqualifying? At the same time, Schwarze co-chaired Nikki Haley’s Minnesota leadership team, and donated $1,000 to Haley’s presidential bid. Keep in mind that Schwarze donated $10 to Amy Klobuchar’s Presidential campaigns well. Who is one of the Democrats who will be running against our Republican ticket in November. Now none of this means Republicans shouldn’t support Schwarze if he wins the endorsement and the primary. Which he is favored to win the endorsement, but still trails Tafoya by almost 50 points in the last primary poll. I’ll support whoever Republicans nominate for the general election. We all should. I don’t even believe you need to be full on MAGA to earn votes in an endorsement/primary in Minnesota. In fact, it can be a negative if we want to be viable in November. It’s not like this is Alabama. Republicans haven’t won statewide in Minnesota for two decades. You need to moderate to actually win. But to be running as the “MAGA candidate” when you’re literally quoted in a MinnPost article describing yourself as “Not MAGA” with these associations — Delegates deserve to know the truth.show more

🚨 WOW! President Trump just exposed that Minnesota RIGS... their elections to block Republicans from power Part of that was importing mass Somalis and allowing FRAUD in exchange for VOTES. "Amy Klobuchar, the lightly respected Senator from Minnesota, is running for Governor to take the place of the current Corrupt and Incompetent Tim Walz. I have gotten to know Klobuchar over the years, and find her to be equally as incompetent as Walz, and probably equally as corrupt in that, as a high Government Official from Minnesota, she knew everything that was going on." "If the Elections in Minnesota weren’t RIGGED, any Republican could win, but they were, and that is why nobody has won there since Richard Nixon many years ago. I thought I won it all three times, only to be disappointed in the end." "Vote for Mike Lindell for Governor, who has my Complete and Total Endorsement, and forget about these Corrupt Dumocrats like Amy Klobuchar. MAKE MINNESOTA GREAT AGAIN!"show more

🚨Exclusive News: Oklahoma AG and candidate for Governor Gentner... Drummond is encouraging Democrats to vote for him in the Republican primary, according to State Senator Shane Jett. Jett: “In fact, you have Drummond who is urging Democrats to register to Republican so they can help him get out of the Republican Primary.” Drummond has a long history of donating to Democrats in the State of Oklahoma Drummond blamed his wife for a donation to Joe Biden in 2020 that appeared in his name and he admitted his wife donated to the Lincoln Project saying “That is her business” In 2025 Drummond received a major fundraiser from Democrat Mega Donor Sue Ann Arnall Drummond didn’t endorse Trump in the 2024 GOP presidential primaries and he didn’t financially support Trump in 2016 or 2020 He declined to defend Trump when asked about both of his impeachments by Eric Swalwellshow more

🚨LOL: Thomas Massie states he'd "prefer to have the... President's endorsement", Rand Paul is visibly nervous while talking about this primary! At a recent campaign event with Rand Paul, Thomas Massie was interviewed by WLKY. The segment got to the part where the reporter mentions that President Trump endorsed Ed Gallrein to primary Massie, who said: "Obviously, I'd prefer to have the President's endorsement, but I'm endorsed by the pro-life & pro-gun groups here in Kentucky." At the end, a visibly nervous Rand Paul said, "I think the people Kentucky ought to consider they're lucky to have Thomas Massie", then quickly looked down with pursed & off to the side, which is a classic sign that he is not confident in Massie's ability to win. Pursed lips also mean he is experiencing anxiety & nervousness. Massie is in hot water. He went from saying he has the "Trump Antibodies", to wanting his endorsement. Sorry, Tom. You made your bed, now you get to lie in it.show more

A Video for an era that I hope comes... to a close soon. Today's Trump arrest, Trump mug shot and the arrest of the other codefendants should be the end of an era, not the beginning of a new presidential term come 2024. Trump is NOT my president. He's not your president either. Republicans have choices for sure. They have a choice to go in a new direction towards a new candidate who doesn't have the baggage that Trump has. America has a choice to go in a direction away from the divsion and hate. This goes for both parties. This goes for everyone. I'm sure people will say that me posting mug shots of people indicted for racketeering is "divisive" but if you think doing so is divisive, you may need to reevaluate what you really want for this nation.show more

“They vote for me now, all of the Bobby... people are gonna vote for me.” MAGA please listen up. RFK supporters don’t owe Trump their vote just because RFK has endorsed Trump. Many RFK supporters don’t believe they can trust Trump and are on the fence. Would all Trump supporters support Nikki Haley if Trump randomly endorsed her? This isn’t a perfect analogy but you get the point. This whole “you need to vote for Trump or else you will help Kamala win” BS is what makes RFK supporters hesitant to vote for Trump. They hate the tribalism, and the them versus us mindset. Now a majority of MAGA has been great and all for Unity and rational thought. As with any group there are some bad actors which make it bad for everyone. It’s critical that MAGA call these people out who have been attacking RFK supporters for being hesitant to vote for Trump recently. Trump himself has also got to do a much better job persuading RFK supporters. As of late he has just been referring to RFK as a “good team player” and saying “all RFK’s voters will vote for me,” which is possibly the worse thing he could say to persuade on the fence RFK supporters. RFK’s supporters are filled with people from just about every part of the political spectrum, with a few common beliefs including that the two party system continually lets us down. So now it’s Trump’s job to persuade this group that the system they believe is corrupt (which it is) will be different under him. To be clear I’m not saying it won’t be different under him, but Trump has to make people believe that. In these battleground states where RFK just got removed and people were still planning on voting RFK, these are politically homeless voters now, they are not automatically Trump voters. They have just as high of a chance to vote for Harris. Attacking these people and calling their friends or influencers they follow idiots will only push them away. This isn’t a post to attack MAGA. This entire account was created for political unity between groups such as MAGA and RFK supporters. I just see a common trend starting to happen and have many disenfranchised RFK supporters reaching out to me saying they have no idea what to do. Long story short, if Trump wants to win this election, he needs the RFK voters in swing states. These are not votes that will just be handed to Trump, and if he thinks they are he’s going to send a lot of voters to Harris. Unity isn’t “your guy endorsed me so now you vote for me.” Unity is “I realize we’ve had our differences in the past, but I have grown and I promise to represent you to the best of my abilities.” MAHA will either be the future of politics or blow up internally, at the moment it’s a coin flip of which one will happen.show more

Is Trump’s Truth Social post ft. the Obamas racist?... Yes & no Trump posted a video about election integrity, which accidentally included a Lion King meme video ft. Barack and Michelle Obamas as monkeys. I believe that Lion King meme video (see full video in replies) to be intentionally racist, but this post by Trump seems to be an accidental scroll (or auto scroll) while screen recording the election integrity video. BUT it is still reprehensible for the President of the United States/his team to allow this mistake to happen. People can say, “Well, Joe Biden is a monkey in that video too”, but I don’t believe that excuses depicting the Obamas, right off the bat, as monkeys. So no, I don’t believe Trump to be racist, or intentionally meant to share something racist. But yes, the LK video is racist, imo. Again, Trump puts himself and his base in a bad spot because of something stupid posted on social media. I believe the post has been taken down, but it should be apologized for.show more

OK, I have a definitive word on the CJ... Abrams play from today's Pittsburgh Pirates at Washington Nationals game after talking with Elias Sports Bureau on this. This play will stay as a sacrifice fly. The originial ruling of NOT a sacrifice fly was for the exact same reason that I thought, which is that the infielder is not running into the outfield, which is year's past would have been correct As it was explained to me, in past years, an infielder had to be running almost in a straight line towards the outfield wall to be considered "running in the outfield". Here, since he is running, and he ends up further away from home (157 feet) than when he started (145 feet), this is going to count as a sacrifice fly. That definition is changing, in part from this play to help bring greater consistency, and to take some of the guesswork out of it (the argument that he is running into the outfield as opposed to more parallel). Now, folks all the time ask "why doesn't MLB publish the OS Manual" and I always say because it is a living document that can have the wording change, and the wording for this play will be modified to something like "more towards the outfield wall than towards home plate" to eliminate any confusion. The big key to this play is that he was running on a full sprint. Also, and this is helpful for me, but for all fly ball outs that score a run, Elias Saba reviews to ensure consistency. So, yes, it's a sacrifice fly, and now that I have that info from Elias themselves, that sort of settles this one. Sounds like the guidelines for this definition will be changing, either this season, or certainly for next season.show more

#ZimElection2023 CHAMISA RAN HIS CAMPAIGN LIKE AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE... WITH NO STRUCTURES AND EXPECTED TO WIN AND BECOME PRESIDENT WITH NO MAJORITY IN PARLIAMENT This is what Nelson Chamisa said on 21 June 2023 about the strategic thrust of the campaign of his CCC in the 2023 harmonised general election held last week: "our [CCC] campaign is going to be basically a presidential... our [CCC] focus is not to be in parliament but to be in government. We [as MDC opposition] have been in parliament for a long time, that's not our [CCC] station of choice at the moment". The fact that Chamisa thought he could win the presidential election even if, or regardless of whether, his CCC won a majority in Parliament, explains his crushing defeat. An election in Zimbabwe is defined in terms of section 4 of the Electoral Act which provides that: election” means— (a) the election of a member of Parliament; or (b) an election to the office of President; or (c) an election for the purposes of the Rural District Councils Act [Chapter 29:13] or the Urban Councils Act [Chapter 29:15]; as the case may be. These three elections used to be held separately before they were harmonised for the first time in the 2008 election in terms of section 38 of the Act. It is odd and even irrational, and it defies the logic of the harmonised general election for any political party that seeks power to govern the country as a whole to only target – as did Chamisa in the 2023 harmonised general election held last week –winning only one of the three elections, just the presidential election. It is foolhardy for a political party to say its strategy and focus is only to win the presidential election, without basing that strategy and focus on winning the local authority and parliamentary elections, as well. Such a strategy, if it can be called a strategy, renders the presidential candidate no different from an independent presidential candidate who contests for the presidency without the advantage of the structures of a political party. Simply put, a presidential candidate in Zimbabwe cannot win a presidential election if the candidate does not have a campaign strategy that is based on his or her political party winning a majority of wards in the local authority election, and a majority of constituencies in the parliamentary election. If it’s an independent presidential candidate, then he or she must have ground structures of one sort or another, or forget it. Chamisa contested the presidential election as if he was an independent candidate, and he boasted about it, without relying on his CCC and without any ground structures. In the circumstances, just how or why did Chamisa expect to win the presidential election by effectively running as an independent candidate? Which structures did Chamisa expect to use, or did he in fact use to campaign for the presidency in every street and every village, across the length and breadth of the country? Since by his own admission, as quoted above and reflected on the attached video clip, Chamisa was clearly not relying on his CCC to win the presidency. This begs the question: by not relying on CCC structures, and by not having alternative ground structures in the streets and in villages, did Chamisa think that ZanuPF members and supports would vote for him, as an act of God, perhaps? Was Chamisa's presidential election campaign, for him an article of faith, in other words was it about his belief that God had chosen him, and that he would win regardless of whether or not CCC won a majority in the local authority and parliamentary elections? Where did Chamisa and his supporters in Zimbabwe and among the legions of his fans in America and Europe think he would get the necessary number of polling agents to monitor the voting and vote counting at the country’s 12,374 polling stations, and to secure the 12,374 V11s from those polling stations, given the fact that he actually ran for the presidency as an independent candidate, expecting to be supported less by his own CCC party and more by the members and supporters of ZanuPF? Does this kind of strategy make sense to anyone on earth? And, does that strategy make sense to Nerves Mumba and his Sadc Election Observation Mission or to any other foreign election observation mission that was in Zimbabwe last week like, say for example, the European Union Observer Mission or any of the several observer missions from the United States that were in Zimbabwe to observe the elections? How did the various foreign election observer missions and Chamisa’s social media supporters expect him to win the presidential election, not only where and when his CCC party was losing the local authority and parliamentary elections but, and critically, where Chamisa himself did not believe that the local authority and parliamentary elections were important or necessary for him to win the presidency? The fact that the loquacious, belligerent and inflammatory foreign election observer missions that are peddling falsehoods about the elections, and Chamisa’s social media supporters who claim with no evidence that Chamisa won, did not raise a finger against the results of the local and parliamentary elections that were declared at 1970 wards and 209 constituencies well ahead of the declaration of the result for the presidential election on 26 August, clearly means that there was no problem with two of the three elections that make up Zimbabwe’s harmonised general election. Only after the declaration of the presidential election result on 26 August did all hell break loose. It must be asked, again, how did anyone expect Chamisa to win a presidential election whose campaign was – as per Chamisa’s deliberate strategy – organised and pursued as if it was the presidential campaign of an independent candidate? Chamisa’s presidential election campaign was not based on the CCC parliamentary election campaign or on CCC’s structural capacity on the ground, strangely, it was based on the expectation that ZanuPF members and supporters would vote for Chamisa. Why on earth did anyone expect ZanuPF members and supporters to vote for someone whose base is ever singing cacophonic noise that ZanuPF must go, and hurling insults at the incumbent party, its officials and its supporters? What kind of politics is that? You are contemptuous of ZanuPF and anyone associated with it, but you expect ZanuPF members and supporters to vote for you. This expectation does not compute, certainly not in electoral politics. As things turned out, ZanuPF members and supporters who are registered voters voted for their party candidates in all the three elections: local authority election, the parliamentary election and the presidential election. As a result, in the parliamentary election, CCC won just 73 constituency seats. There's just no way that CCC's 73 constituency seats in the National Assembly would have boosted Chamisa to win the presidency. No ways. In Zimbabwe's first harmonised general election in 2008, Morgan Tsvangirai did well in the first round of the presidential election primarily if not only because the two MDC formations used their round structures to win a majority in Parliament with a combined strength of 110 constituency seats, while ZanuPF garnered 99 seats and an independent got one seat. This was the first time since independence in 1980 that the opposition commanded the majority in Parliament. So, clearly, in 2008 Tsvangirai was propelled by the solid parliamentary performance of the MDC formations. The same structural dynamic was conspicuously absent for Chamisa in the just ended harmonised general election. Chamisa ran a solo presidential election campaign and, predictably, it went horribly wrong. The fact that CCC did not field local authority candidates in 90 wards made a bad situation worse for Chamisa, and it was further compounded by the fact that CCC did not have ground structures to harness and harvest from the loose and unreliable protest vote, especially in the wards and constituencies outside CCC strongholds, which in fact used to be MDC strongholds in the days of Morgan Tsvangirai!show more

We are already at war. Not with rifles or... tanks, but with replacement. This is conquest by other means, through the slow erasure of a people who no longer recognize they are being conquered. That is why I write—to remind my people that we are not living in peace, but in the midst of a war waged without banners. The invasion is not declared with armies but with flights and boats, birthrates and welfare rolls. It is demographic warfare, calculated, continuous, and increasingly irreversible. A people, and a civilization, does not need to be burned to the ground to fall. It only needs to be replaced. Throughout the Western world, we are witnessing not mere immigration but a deliberate population transformation, one that has been rationalized by moral cowardice and enforced by political elites who have long since abandoned the idea that their nations belong to their people. What you mock as conquest is already underway, and unlike the conquests of old, it comes with the full consent of those in power. But I do not write in surrender. I write as a warning, as an act of resistance. My writing is meant to exhort and to enliven, to reawaken what has been buried beneath shame and silence. It is a summons to remember, to reclaim, and to rebuild. We are in an existential struggle, not only for our land, but for our survival, and thus for the future itself. Those who sneer at the loss will one day find there is nothing left to sneer at. A people who forget that they exist will be replaced by those who do not. You may call this natural. So be it. Then let nature return, red in tooth and claw, and let the sons of Europe remember who they are.show more

President Trump says RFK Jr. and the MAHA movement... will be a major force for Republicans in the midterms. “I read an article today where they think Bobby is going to be really great for the Republican Party in the midterms.” “So I have to be very careful that Bobby likes us.” “But we’re letting you do your job.” “And you're doing a great job.” Trump said the quiet part out loud: MAHA is now a major political force in DC, and in low turnout elections it can decide races. If Republicans want to win this fall, embracing MAHA policies makes sense. Democrats should take note too.show more

I’m a true independent in Nebraska running to defeat... Republican AIPAC-endorsee Mike Flood so we can put another seat on the table in November. A Democrat has not won this seat in 60 years. Chris Backemeyer is not going to change that. Our poll shows that when voters hear his own message – about working on Middle East policy for both parties in the State Department – support actually *drops* by 5 points. Republicans, Independents and Dems are sick of bankrolling foreign wars and funding atrocities. If you want to shake up the establishment of both major parties, put another seat on the map, and elect a fighter to Congress, please chip in to support our campaign 💪show more

Trump has agreed to debate Harris on September 4th... on Fox. There was no mention of RFK Jr. It’s critical whether you’re a Republican, Democrat, RFK, or other third party voter, that we advocate for RFK to be on that stage. A heavy majority of Americans agree that RFK should have a spot in the debate. 7/10 Americans wanted him on the stage during the last debate, that number is no doubt equal or larger this debate. After the disastrous first debate with Trump/Biden on CNN, it is hard to argue that if RFK were on the stage that day that he could have had a chance to be polling at levels near Trump/Harris currently. It does not mean that he would be, but 100% a rational conclusion that he could be. Americans need someone on the stage to ask difficult questions that the moderators are unwilling to bring up because of the unwritten rules of hosting presidential debates. If it is a debate only between Trump/Harris, Trump will spew his talking points about Harris’s disastrous past in politics, and Harris will spew her talking points of Trump being a racist and threat to Democracy. In reality Americans don’t want to hear these talking points anymore, we already get it at nausea everyday through social media. What America truly deserves is a presidential debate where Trump, Harris, RFK, Stein, West, and Oliver are on the stage but it’s a sad truth that at first we just need to fight to try and get a third candidate on the stage before 6.show more

Now that Trump has been exposed as a total... sellout who never intended to do anything with his power except enrich himself, the political establishment is working overtime to funnel people back into the duopoly. The establishment is counting on the public to have amnesia and overlook how their corruption paved the way for a conman like Trump to rise to power in the first place. There is something worse than Trump’s two presidencies, and that is learning nothing from them and allowing both parties to return us to the failed status quo, which will only lead to an even worse Trump in the future. I’m going to do my best in this post to remind you how we got here and, more importantly, where we go from here. So how did we get here? The capitalist duopoly. The problem is not Republicans or Democrats. The problem is Republicans and Democrats. Both parties have spent decades using our government to enrich themselves and their corporate donors at our expense. They turned the US government into a money laundering organization for corporate America, the military-industrial complex, Israel, and the billionaire class. There is not a single thing our government does well for the people because its entire purpose is to serve the rich. Now here’s the part MAGA does not want to hear, but it is the truth: Trump was never the solution to any of this. His form of populism has always been fake & leaned on nationalist rhetoric to appeal to white working class voters without any substantive policies to improve life for anyone outside the richest 1%. Trump knew the system was corrupt and that people were struggling, but he never intended to actually do anything about it. Instead he took advantage of people who rightly lost faith in a system that only serves the elite by selling them the exact same corrupt system, only he covered it in bright red MAGA paint. Now here’s the part Blue MAGA does not want to hear, but it’s the truth: The Democrats are not the solution to any of this either. Things didn’t get better under Biden because Democrats serve the same corrupt capitalist and imperialist system that Republicans do. Biden funding a genocide and betraying railroad workers should have made this clear. Democrats certainly love to use nicer rhetoric than Republicans, but this is only to deceive the public from the party’s true purpose, which is to serve capital and betray workers. So where does that leave us? What is the solution when both parties are this corrupt and exist to serve the rich, not the people? The solution is we desperately need a new system that puts people over profits. And since the elites who control both parties will never let us vote for that system, we’re going to have to rise up together and fight for it!show more

Bill Cassidy just got hit with the political backlash... millions of Trump supporters have been waiting years to see after losing his primary to Trump endorsed Julia Letlow in Louisiana, and the message from Republican voters could not be clearer. Cassidy made himself one of the biggest targets in MAGA world the moment he voted to convict President Trump during the impeachment circus, and now voters are showing exactly what happens when Republican politicians side with the establishment against their own base. People do not forget betrayal, especially in today’s Republican Party. What makes this even bigger is that Julia Letlow is openly backing aggressive America First policies, including support for passing the SAVE America Act and taking a much harder line against the old weak Republican establishment mindset that voters are completely tired of. The energy behind this race is coming from conservatives who are sick of watching so called Republicans act tougher against Trump than they ever act against Democrats destroying the country. And here’s the key part everyone needs to understand: Letlow is now heading to a runoff, meaning this fight is not over yet. But tonight already sent shockwaves through the GOP because every Republican senator, governor, and congressman just got reminded again that the MAGA base is still the dominant force in the party. Trump endorsements still matter. America First still wins. And Republicans who turn on their own voters are finding out the hard way that political consequences eventually arrive.show more

President Trump made putting an end to child trafficking... a focus point of his first administration and that hasn’t changed. Anyone who has supported Trump from the beginning knows that to be a fact. When he says things like “I don’t understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody” … he does not mean that, and if you believe that, then you have simply forgotten how Trump plays chess in order to make his opponents do what he wants. And it’s working phenomenally. All of the people on the right who refused to talk about Epstein when all of the Anons were, are now screaming for the Epstein files. All of the people on the left who called us conspiracy theorists, including the pedophiles themselves, are now screaming for the Epstein files. “When he says things like “Really only pretty bad people, including fake news want to keep something like that going” … it is more of the same tactic. It sounds so ridiculous that Howard Lutnick burst out laughing! This has always been about the children, and it still is. Protect your mind and control your emotions.show more

I read on here an anonymous Labour MP has... stated that if anyone breaks the whip with regards to the #welfarereform cuts to #PIP they will not be allowed to stand as a candidate during the next #Generalelection. If this is true, which I do believe as it mirrors the way in which I was treated during the last Local election in my area. Here is my response to this below: Absolute bullies, they did this to me when I was a candidate in the local election in 2022 after a so called administration error by my agent putting me in the wrong ward. I was told to hide and not campaign to give the candidates chosen for that ward a chance or I would be thrown out the The Labour Party Scottish Labour #labourparty. The paper candidate who appeared on the campaign trail the day this happened to me was elected in to the seat I had worked hard for years to hopefully start my political career. A high profile Labour MSP promised to mentor me into the SE next year…telling me I would be an ideal candidate with my extensive knowledge of health and social care due to my lived experience. I had no choice to resign as the news of the welfare cuts hit the headlines. I could never campaign with a party who is going to destroy the lives of people living with disabilities. A shocking party and government with no regard for the distress this #TakingThePIP is causing people all over the UK who may I add do not choose to have disabilities. No-one is immune to becoming disabled and needing the support of our welfare system that Labour set up in the first place…..when its values were to support our most vulnerable with dignity! See below 👇 Keir Starmer you are not The Labour Party or your front benchers that sit with you on this. I really hope you have a massive rebellion on your hands with your #LabourMPs For anyone wishing to leave or resign from the Labour Party it’s easy……I’ve posted a picture with this post. According to Keir Starmer there are lots of jobs out there so if all you #LabourMPs resign with a healthy conscience in defence of the people who voted for you, you will have nae problem finding another job and at the same time you can hand on heart protected the most vulnerable people in our country.show more

It’s difficult to put a finger on exactly when... a nation falls. It is hard to know the very moment, but you can feel it in your bones when the president gleefully admits that his election was purchased with money from another country. He does this knowing that moves like this will usher in untold Republican loss in 2026 and 2028. And yet, he still does it. We’ve moved from nuance to bragging about the theft of American tax dollars and delivery over to another people in another place. It is not done to uphold US interests, but is a tithe to unbelievers who hold inexplicable power and authority over our government. And since it is done despite its devastating impacts on the upcoming elections, one must imagine it’s done under some sort of fear or duress. What other explanation could there be? It is one thing to know what goes on behind the scenes, and quite another for the president to admit it. This admission signifies the full transition from a strong lobby to absolute power, with the full sanction of the president and the full weight of government to enforce speech codes and stand up 100 task forces. This is to Republicans as BLM was to Democrats; this is them on one knee ushering in a time when you too will be expected to kneel.show more

Today a group of Muslims prayed next to the... Ministry of Defence, facing the Iraq and Afghanistan memorial. As I have said before, choosing to pray in this way in public is a political act. It is a social statement and, yes, it is an act of domination. Anybody who understands Islamism understands that the domination of public spaces is part of the modus operandi. It is done so Islamists can show who is in charge - and to show other Muslims and the wider public that the authorities will bend to their will. There is quite obviously no need to pray here. The decision to do so is symbolic and pointed. It is not welcome. We have freedom of religion in this country, which is why there are mosques. But we are not a Muslim country and this is not welcome. It should be stopped.show more
