Breaking news
Is Eddie Murphy going to be in this movie?
Donk Rep. Jasmine Crockett is set to star in a brand new comedy - otherwise known as the Texas Democratic primary - with her news that she's got her eye on a Senate run: "Crockett's Trainwreck Announcement Underscores Why She's Not Ready for Prime Time".
Well, at least he can't have you shot, like one of his predecessors could have
"German Chancellor Merz Filed Hundreds of Criminal Complaints over Insults From Citizens".
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has reportedly filed hundreds of criminal complaints against members of the public for insulting him during his tenure as a politician.
According to research conducted by the Welt am Sonntag newspaper, Merz is “one of the most sensitive politicians in the history” of the German republic.
Scheisskopf. Yes, that's what I said. I'll be waiting to hear from your Rechtsanwalt.

Update
"I'm sick of running Germany! Nag, nag, nag! I'm going back to Hollywood."
Variations on a theme
More from Robert Spencer on the Pope's naive view of Islam: "Pope Denounces ‘Fear’ of Islam".
The pope was no doubt unaware of the fact, but two weeks before he issued this call, an Islamic scholar in the pontiff’s home city of Chicago offered a radically different view. On Nov. 14, Mohammad Nusairat said: “Unfortunately, these days we don’t repeat this enough, or we don’t have this doctrinal concept firm in our minds – that Islam did not come to coexist.” He quoted Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, saying: “Islam is always superior and should never be surpassed.” Nusairat added: “Islam is raised high, and nothing is raised above Islam.”
I await His Holiness's formula for making friends with people whose religion defines peace as conquest. That strikes me as pretty much the definition of a zero sum game.

America is getting to, or perhaps has passed, the "what's-the-point" stage
"Is Europe kaput? Washington says this is Europe’s last chance to choose".
The Trump administration’s 2025 National Security Strategy dropped last week, and if you are in Brussels or Berlin, you might want to pour yourself a stiff drink before reading it. This is not the usual diplomatic pablum about “shared values” and “transatlantic partnership.” This is an ultimatum dressed up as strategy, but will Europe listen?
The diagnosis is brutal but accurate: Continental Europe’s share of global GDP has collapsed from 25 per cent in 1990 to 14 per cent today. Cratering birthrates, migration-driven social fragmentation, and what the document calls “the real and more stark prospect of civilisational erasure” threaten to make the continent “unrecognisable in 20 years or less.” Washington’s message is simple: America will help defend a Europe that believes in itself, but not a civilisational hospice.
Europe is engaging in cultural suicide, and the EU is greasing the skids. It is, indeed, getting more difficult to see where America has a genuine interest in preserving some secular version of the late Holy Roman Empire.

No brainer
I'd rather walk than take the Charlotte Light Rail: "President Trump Responds After Previously Deported Illegal Alien Stabs Man on Charlotte Light Rail".
This is the same public transportation system on which a racist maniac murdered Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska back in August. Since Ms. Zarutska's murder, security supposedly has been beefed up in Charlotte's various public transportation systems, including Light Rail, but it looks like there might still be a few holes in coverage (as well as in innocent passengers).
I always disliked Charlotte, having lived there once for a few months when I was about five years old, and decades later when I worked there for First Union National Bank (but commuted from my rural hometown two counties over). It has always been a relatively dangerous place, and it has gotten to be many times more so as the woke left has entrenched itself in government. I was appalled at the number of proto-wokesters back in the 1990s who worked for First Union, and I saw the way things were going. I left to go to graduate school in Arizona, and that turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made.
Charlotte wants to be Atlanta, but another ten years of Democrat governance will probably turn it into Memphis.
