The UK is on the threshold of totalitarianism.  To illustrate the devastating slippery slide that comes with socialism, one of Europe’s oldest democracies has now descended into prosecuting its citizens on the basis of thought control.  Not only is free speech in Great Britain’s past, but their hubristic bureaucrats promise to threaten foreigners outside their borders with extradition is they overstep the new restrictions on newly disallowed publicly expressed opinions. (here, here, and here)

‘Islam and the Future of the West’.  Islamophobia is a clearly warranted reaction to the long-standing writings and recently reinforced statements by leaders of trans-national Islam.  “Any reading of the Koran, as Robert SpencerRaymond IbrahimAli SinaIbn WarrakRebecca Bynum, and a host of other excellent scholars make abundantly clear, will reveal ayah after ayah commanding acts of grotesque violence against unbelievers. The reward for the martyrs who have been slain in service to Allah will be peace, loveliness, and virgins with pear-shaped breasts, as stipulated variously in Sura 44:45-55 and 78:31-36 of the Koran.” (more here) According to our neo-Marxists defending your culture against the promised and ongoing Muslim onslaught is ignorant and despicable racism.

“Inflation is down!” trumpet our lamestream media outlets.  NPR even coordinates its ‘news’ items with featured programming subjects in promoting this jaundiced view of the nation’s economy.  In their coordinated support of the Democrats’ campaign talking points, the Left’s lightly-read legions are spared the difference between ‘inflation level’ and ‘inflation rate’ in the constant cacophony they consume daily.  Contrary to what they experience in their wallets, they are led to believe that prices are actually going down in this Biden/Harris economy.

[16aug24 update] Dems move to red states.  The conspiracy to soil the remaining states not embracing socialism is in full swing.  There is now an organization called MoveIndigoMoveIndigo encourages Democratic flight to swing districts with Republican congressmen, often in swing states. Its goal is to “reset the balance in our country” and elect a more “representative” government. That’s doublespeak, but the group has also put it plainly: “It only takes a few Democrats moving to crucial toss-up districts . . . to take control of the House”—even to have “a profound impact on the Presidential race. (more here)  None of the migrating progressives are smart enough to ask what has made their selected red state so desirable compared to the shithole state they are abandoning, and moreover, what makes these leftwing double dummies think that the arrival  of more like them will not turn their new home also into the same kind of socialist quagmire they abandoned.

[update]  Georgia non-citizens registered to vote.  The Heritage Oversight project interviewed residents of a large apartment complex in Norcross, Georgia asking its residents 1) were they registered to vote, and 2) were they citizens.  14% answered that they were non-citizens who were already registered to vote. (more here)  With this kind of evidence of what is most likely happening to some extent all over the land, it was a very reasonable and legitimate request to Georgia SecState Brad Raffensberger by Trump to have their vote counts checked to discover more legal votes that may favor him.  There was never any demand to “overturn” the Georgia election.  Restricting voting to America’s legal voters is trumpeted as ‘voter suppression’ by our leftwing sleazebags, and their lightly read constituents lap up this ongoing lie.

    Donald Trump’s latest financial disclosure showed $513 million in income from US resort and residential properties including his Doral, Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster clubs.
    Trump says America is a third world country.
    So, how did he make all this money under a Biden presidency?

    Nobody seems to be reporting that income’s return on investment (ROI).
    It is disingenuous to ignore that there are 100s of millions of people in the US who are suffering monetarily and that there are factors other than monetary in resembling a third-world country.

    But Michael, Trump said we are a Socialist/ Communist country, or will be one as soon as Kamala Harris is elected.
    How can all these profits by these privately owned and publicly traded corporations still exist?
    I assume Trump has inside knowledge that Harris will socialize all major corporations.

    I used to weigh 200 lbs.
    In 2021 I gained 11 lbs.
    In 2022 9 lbs.
    In 2023 6 lbs.
    This year only 3 lbs.
    So my weight gain is down but I now weigh 234 lbs.

    The problem isn’t bureaucrats, although they don’t help, but is the merging of government with large companies.

    Seriously, that zone business is incredibly stupid.
    I guarantee that hardly anyone knows their ‘zone’, it’s a thing invented in an office somewhere. Just use major street intersections.

    it’s funny how people took note of E. Musk firing 90% of Twitter, and that it made no difference.

    “At the height of the British Empire, the British government employed just 40,000 civil servants … globally!
    Without computers, software, phones, email, GPS or modern banking, these 40,000 people ran the largest global empire in history.
    Today the UK government has over 478,000 earning an average of £30,000 per year. These people have every advantage at their fingertips from fast communication through to process automation. And yet, they can’t manage to run a small island.
    What do these people do? What would happen if someone got rid of 90% of these jobs?”
    – Daniel Priestly on X
    The answer is obvious, and applies to both the US and the UK.
