UK collapse watch

Melanie Phillips: "Britain’s cultural emergency".

There’s been deep shock that a Jewish MP, Damien Egan, was barred by a school in his constituency, Bristol Brunel Academy, from visiting it last September after being invited to speak there about democracy and public service.

The Palestine Solidarity Campaign, teachers and activists from the school and the National Education Union objected to him being given a platform on the grounds that he is vice-chair of Labour Friends of Israel.

Meanwhile..."Big Brother Britain: ALL YOUR TEXTS ARE BELONG TO US! 

I wonder if I were to start sending texts to Starmer and his minions, blasting their immigration policy and their coddling of Muslim thugs, would the government try to extradite me? Impose fines? Abduct me and lock me in the Tower of London and put me on a diet of cucumber sandwiches?

Insurrection in Minnesota

"Rioters Smash into ICE Vehicles — Minneapolis Police Stand Down".

And Tampon Tim pours gasoline on the fire: Tim Walz’s Primetime Address Marred by Audio Issues as He Urges Minnesotans to Stalk, Harass and Record ICE Agents So They Can be Prosecuted".

This insurrection needs to be suppressed with whatever it takes to shut it down. Leftist rioters are the cause of the chaos, not ICE personnel, and if they succeed in Minnesota, we'll see it in other sanctuary cities.

Update  Here's what happens when you bring a shovel to a gun fight.

On second thought, don't carry me back to Old Virginny

"Virginia Democrats Move To Establish Limitless Abortion, Ban Guns, And Gerrymander Districts".

Sad, sad, sad. 30 years ago, Virginia was pretty comfortably red. Now it's the other type of "red", with vicious woke commies running everything. Will it become the next Washington state or Oregon? I hope not, but as long as Northern Virginia is a massive hive of deep state Mamluks, I see little hope for change.

The unvarnished, unadulterated truth

Hard to argue with Cynical Publius on this:

Since Democrats are once again engaged in Kristallnacht-style violence because the electorate rejected their policies, it's time once again for my periodic reminder that all Democrats are fascists.

I love the fact that whenever I point this out, some Democrat invariably…

H/T: Friend and commenter JeffS 

Scott Adams, RIP

The creator of the Dilbert comic strip has died at age 68, after a battle with prostate cancer. God rest his soul and comfort his loved ones and many fans.

I loved the Dilbert series; many of the comically idiotic management policies that formed the basis of much of the humor in the strip I would actually see adopted at the agency I worked for (and in the banking industry in which I had previously worked). It even became a kind of game; someone would circulate a Dilbert cartoon, with one or more characters labeled as people at the agency, and the representation was always spot on. I bet JeffS and others here probably had similar experiences.

And now, a word from our sponsor
