Today’s unreal “entertainment” industry. By Millennial Woes.

A lot of modern TV, whether soap opera, drama, documentary, sitcom or panel show, seems to be designed to stave off awareness of the disaster unfolding around all of us in contemporary Britain.

The [boomers] are largely insulated from the realities of modern life, being couped up at home with often little to do but watch TV, relying on it for their awareness of things. …

When reality is unpleasant, it is understandable to take refuge in things that are very different from it. I do this myself, only watching TV dramas from the 1970s which depict a Britain radically unlike that of today. But I watch these dramas painfully aware of this fact, not in denial of it. …

But perhaps the greatest deceit is in the “contemporary” dramas they are given. These show a Britain that nobody under fifty would recognise except from their early adulthood, because it is fossilised in the mid 2000s, and blooms with the thinking of that time. That thinking was fraudulent even back then, but it seemed plausible. Today it lies in ruins, yet the televisual expressions of it continue anyway, flickering eternally on the gogglebox.

On TV:

• East London is still mostly White and everyone has an English accent, unpolluted by [Multicultural London English]
• The mainstream of political discourse (which is now very left-wing) is the only sensible option. Everything else is crank extremism.
• Muslims are nice and integrated.
• Refugees are all deserving cases who mean well and just want to help Britain, work hard, and certainly not molest White schoolgirls.
• Black men are intelligent and non-violent.
• White men are stupid, racist, sexist, violent and insecure.
• White people are entitled.
• Racists are White
• Rapists are White, and usually middle-class.
• Mixed-race relationships work and the children they produce are well-adjusted, actually more so than White children since they have to learn how to get along in racist Britain — vital lessons in humility and resilience.
• Twenty-somethings buy houses.
• Terrorism is committed by “the far-right”, not Muslims or Mossad.
• Racist conservatives are in charge of everything and must be dethroned.
• Kids go to university and then get professional jobs.
• Migrant hotels are an absurd right-wing myth.
• Feminism has made life better.
• Pakistanis are helpful shopkeepers who shake their heads in disgust at news of White child molesters.
• Childless women are happy.
• Climate change is real and every sensible person believes in it.
• “Racists” have absolutely no just cause and are simply creating trouble because they are hateful idiots.
• The Conservative Party (and now Reform UK) are a bunch of arrogant aristocratic racists and the worst thing that could happen is them getting into 10 Downing Street (which, on TV, is where real power lies, not in high finance or global bodies).

In short, you would think that the last twenty years simply haven’t happened and we are currently in 2006.

Modern entertainment is a world of girl bosses, dumb men and savvy women, where no woman or non-white person ever does anything bad or incompetent. How realistic! But if TV makes up a large part of a person’s experience of the world, their political outlook adjusts accordingly …

No wonder the world is dumbing down and becoming more violent and less competent. Culturally boosted natural selection is working hard to reverse the last eight centuries of advances in white countries.

Phil C. comments:

It rings a bell for me as my wife watches a lot of ABC shows and the commonly seen themes on the BBC shows generally contain mixed race families and all the other things. Most of the items he writes about are obvious to those aware of what’s going on. People on the Left think it’s normal of course.

Polls: Most Australians against Welcome to Country on Anzac Day, 60% say it is divisive. By Nicholas Commo at The Daily Mail.

The IPA-commissioned survey of 1,001 Australians aged 18 and over, conducted by independent research firm Dynata between April 23 and 27, found:

• 49 per cent of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the ceremonies should no longer be performed at Anzac Day services. By contrast, only 31 per cent wanted the formality to be continued, while the rest were uncertain. …
• Sixty per cent of respondents said they felt the practice now causes division, compared with just 12 per cent who disagreed. …

Institute of Public Affairs deputy executive director, Daniel Wild, said the polling pointed to a significant shift in public sentiment following last weekend. …

‘It is bad enough that Welcome or Acknowledgement of country ceremonies have become pervasive in public and corporate life. But when this overreach impacts on our most sacred of days, enough is enough.’…

‘Welcome to Country ceremonies are anything but welcoming,’ he said. ‘They have become hostile, aggressive, and a form of moral hectoring designed to make Australians feel bad about their nation and history.’

He rejected claims that critics were acting disrespectfully, arguing instead that many Australians believed the ceremonies detracted from the intent of national days.

‘Creating division along racial lines is far more disrespectful to the memory of our fallen than objecting to their inclusion on a completely inappropriate basis,’ Wild said.

 

Again, our ruling class have adopted the minority position and admonish us to be virtuous/stupid like them. We got lectures after Anzac Day by politicians from Albanese down calling the booing of Welcome to Country “ugly,” “disgusting”, and “disgraceful”, without any attempt to argue for why those ceremonies should be included in Anzac Day. Sheer class bigotry, like Hillary Clinton’s infamous “deplorables” comment.

Even Angus Taylor condemned the booing, merely acknowledging “frustration” and dissenting that WTC is ” devalued by overuse.” How safe, Angus. Show some leadership.

When it comes to the ruling class, Carly Simon was onto something (great song, by the way):

American Strategy under Trump. By Christopher Little at Real Clear Defense.

Trump has done more to dismantle the rules-based order in 12 months than the BRICS nations did in 12 years. He didn’t just bend the rules. He dropped his gloves and hit the referee. …

The system was already dying. The pendulum had been swinging toward globalization for decades, and COVID rang the bell at the top. It is now swinging back hard and would have done so regardless of who won in 2024. Trump is a uniquely blunt instrument for an era that demands one — not the cause of the disruption but its most forceful expression. …

Victor Davis Hanson of the Hoover Institution calls Trump’s approach “Jacksonian preemptive deterrence.” It is neither isolationism nor empire-building. It is a focused strategy to weaken adversaries and strengthen friends before a larger confrontation — one nobody wants but everyone is preparing for — has to be fought.

The Obama and Biden administrations projected weakness and paid for it: four major theater conflicts, from Crimea in 2014 through the full invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and the Middle East theater war of 2024–25. Anemic deterrence invites aggression. Trump’s approach is designed to make the cost of testing America so prohibitive that adversaries think twice. …

China, China, China:

Venezuela. Cuba. The Panama Canal. The cartel designations. The deportations. The “51st state” pressure on Canada. The Greenland campaign. The January 2026 removal of Nicolás Maduro — accomplished in less than 48 hours. To most observers these look like random provocations. They are neither random nor unrelated. They are all aimed at the same target: China.

While America spent the 2000s consumed by Iraq and Afghanistan, Beijing was methodically rewriting its relationship with Latin America — one infrastructure loan, one port deal, one oil-for-credit arrangement at a time. By 2024, China had become the dominant trading partner for South America’s largest economies and had signed Belt and Road agreements with more than twenty Latin American nations. Nobody in Washington had a serious plan to stop it. …

Venezuela … was never going to be allowed to keep its oil fields — the largest reserves in the Western Hemisphere — in Chinese hands indefinitely. The only question was when. The answer turned out to be January 2026. This was not about stealing oil. It was about denying China a strategic asset in America’s own backyard. The same logic governs the Panama Canal — built by America, given away for a dollar under Carter, and now strategically reclaimed after Chinese companies moved aggressively to control it. …

Hanson does not mince words on the fentanyl front: 75,000 Americans die every year, much of it deliberately laced into other substances. The precursor chemicals come from China. They flow through Mexican cartels. Designating those cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and going after them with military tools is not cruelty. It is triage on a mass casualty event — and it simultaneously squeezes Chinese influence out of the Americas by severing a critical revenue stream. …

Even when it isn’t about China, it is still about China. The number that should stop every American cold: in 2000, China manufactured 6 percent of the world’s goods. On its current trajectory, by 2030 that share reaches 45 percent. Extended further, there is a point at which China makes effectively everything — at which point it can do whatever it wants, because the rest of the world cannot function without it. America has a closing window to reverse this trajectory.

Globalism got China completely wrong:

Hanson dissects the old bipartisan fantasy with surgical precision. For decades, both Republican and Democratic administrations operated on the same assumption: the more American money invested in China, the more a prosperous Chinese middle class would demand freedom, and China would gradually liberalize. This was catastrophically wrong. Those trade dollars funded the largest peacetime military buildup in modern history.

American consumers made China rich. China used that wealth to build a military capable of challenging American power on every front. The NSS calls the old trade relationship “free but not fair,” and the results are now impossible to ignore. …

Trump is reverting America to a previous stance:

What Trump is doing is not radical departure — it is a return to American roots. Alexander Hamilton built American industry behind tariff walls. The post-war era of open markets was the exception, not the rule. When it stopped serving American interests — when it hollowed out the industrial base and handed China the supply chains that underpin American military power — the model had to change. The tariffs are not primarily an economic instrument. They are a weapon: forcing American allies to stop trading with China on terms that sustain Beijing’s industrial and military expansion. …

Harnessing the globalist anti-Trump reflex:

Trump uses predictable opposition as a mechanism. European and Canadian elites have a reliable reaction function: they reflexively oppose anything he proposes. So rather than ask them politely — which has never worked — he provokes them into doing what he needs while they believe they are resisting him.

The proof is in the results. During his first term, Trump pleaded with European NATO members to increase defense spending. Defense budgets barely moved. Then he threatened to pull out of NATO entirely. The response was dramatic: Germany hit 2% of GDP for the first time in decades, Poland is building one of the largest armies in Europe, and NATO members collectively committed to 5% in total defense and security spending — a number that would have been considered fantasy five years ago. He did not persuade them. He provoked them.

American strategy:

Preventing Chinese regional dominance in Asia is the non-negotiable core American interest. But the United States cannot concentrate forces in the Pacific while simultaneously babysitting Europe and maintaining commitments around the globe. The math only works if allies handle their own regions — Europe handles Russia, Asia-Pacific allies handle their piece of the Chinese containment line, and America pivots to the decisive theater when needed. Either allies step up or Trump creates conditions in which the cost of inaction exceeds the cost of action. …

Trump is attempting a reverse transformation of the American economy: shifting it from financialization and consumption toward production, industry, and military capacity. … He needs enough state direction to rebuild American manufacturing without destroying the market dynamism that makes America innovative. The margin is narrow. The state directing capital in the name of necessity rarely gives that power back.

Not that the media will ever admit that Trump is more than a bumbling clown with no idea or plan, or discuss the relative merits of the globalist and Trump visions.

China is in the worst strategic position of any great power in history. By Eric S. Raymond.

It is critically dependent on resources it has to import, and it doesn’t have control of the sea lanes over which it imports them.

China is neither food nor energy self-sufficient. It needs to import pork from the United States, grain from Africa, coal from Australia, and oil from the Middle East to keep its population fed and its factories running.

Naval blockades at about three critical chokepoints (Hormuz, Malacca, Sunda) would cripple the Chinese economy within months, possibly within weeks. China does not have the blue-water navy required to contrast control of those chokepoints. The moment any first-rate naval power or even a second-rate like India decides China needs to be stopped, it’s pretty much game over.

As a completely separate issue thanks to the one-child policy, Chinese population probably peaked in 2006 and has been declining ever since. Every year in the foreseeable future they will have fewer military-age males than they do now. Most of those males are only sons; their deaths would wipe out entire family lines, giving the Chinese people an extremely low tolerance for war casualties.

Then there’s the glass jaw. The Three Gorges Dam. … If anyone gets annoyed enough to pop that dam thing with a bunker-buster or a pony nuke, the resulting floods will kill millions and wipe out the strip of central China that is by far the country’s most industrially and agriculturally productive region.

The Chinese haven’t fought a war since 1979. They lost. Against Vietnam. The institutional knowledge that could potentially fit their army for doing anything more ambitious than suppressing regional warlordism does not exist.

On the other hand, China’s been stocking up, and they have nearly half the world’s manufacturing capability.

Trump Indicted For Inciting Assassination Attempt. By The Babylon Bee.

According to sources, the motion to indict Trump was filed roughly thirty seconds after the failed assassination attempt. “It was obvious by that point that Trump had caused a man to fire several bullets at him,” said District Attorney Jan Marsh. “If Trump were not literally Hitler, no one would have tried to kill him in the first place. It’s time we in the legal system go after Hitler and not the people trying to murder Hitler.”

At publishing time, Trump had been indicted again for Secret Service shooting the would-be assassin.

 

More seriously (from Nick Freitas):

Democrats “increase the temperature” until something excessively violent happens and then insist that Republicans “lower the temperature” by giving Democrats everything they want…lest more violence happens.

It’s a political extortion racket.

Racial activism and right-wing activism are both unwelcome on Anzac Day. By Flat White in The Spectator.

A majority of Australians, as suggested by the Voice to Parliament referendum, disagree with ‘Welcome to Country’ utterances outside tourist settings.

Perhaps even more Australians find ‘Welcome to Country’ particularly abrasive, even insulting, when issued as part of an Anzac Day memorial.

Others are simply exhausted by the messaging on every flight, website, government building, corporate email, and school address…

It is also true that the ‘Welcome to Country’ performance is part of a larger, racially-charged activist movement that includes a shadow-Parliament, enshrined racial privilege, the assumption of inherited legal authority over the land, and special exemptions and status in various parts of government. Even the justice system openly nods to Aboriginal heritage.

‘Welcome to Country’ is tangentially attached to the ‘Land Back!’ movement which brandishes disturbing slogans such as ‘Pay the rent!’ and the ‘Colonies must fall!’ Some of its enthusiasts drench their hands in red paint during marches and carry signs that, arguably, meet racial incitement and hate thresholds. …

That is not to say any particular person giving any particular ‘Welcome to Country’ over the Anzac Day weekend has involvement with the wider activist story, but rather that ‘Welcome to Country’ exists in this cultivated political world which every person listening to a ‘Welcome to Country’ is aware of. They have heard these slogans, seen the signs, and been the victim of aggressive equity policies.

Welcome to country is especially inappropriate on Anzac Day:

These are Australians who are told they have no sacred connection to land and should ‘go back to England’ (despite being born here). Australians have had their ancestors falsely painted as rapists and murders, watched educational institutions tear out the pages of history and replace them with propaganda, been told they are ‘privileged’ because of their skin colour rather than the sacrifices they made, and have been openly discriminated against by society because they can’t tick a minority box.

These people don’t like being reminded of aggressive race activism when they are trying to peacefully remember their dead.

Many agree it is neither the time nor the place. Others would point out that it is impolite to push shades of coloniser rhetoric when remembering those young men and women who died to keep Germany and Japan from violating Australian sovereignty in two wars where those so-called colonisers bore a disproportionate blood cost compared to those who now live here thanks to their sacrifice. Sombre respect is all that is asked on Anzac Day. …

Fringe right groups continue to poison the well, to the delight of the left/media:

Now, for the difficult part, another truth which risks derailing any sensible and valid attempt to dismantle ‘Welcome to Country’ in the future.

A poisoning of the well.

At least some of those who instigated the booing at various ceremonies, as with last year, have connections to unsavoury political movements. Their actions were pre-planned on social media. They said so on their Twitter Spaces and Telegram chats. It is alleged, or perhaps suspected, that the booing is, in some cases, part of raising attention for their movement rather than an organic reaction to ‘Welcome to Country’. Others were stopped from attending by police. These groups are known, as are their beliefs, which stand as an affront to the memory of the Anzacs. …

While many conservatives may agree with their voters when it comes to scrapping ‘Welcome to Country’ across a range of ceremonies, it does not mean they associate with the individuals behind the booing or their activism. …

We have seen groups hijack genuine grievance and kernels of truth as a way to grow their movement in a sanitised way among people who have no idea what the full scope of these beliefs might be.

Just as many young leftists cannot name the river or the sea and have never read Hamas doctrine, conservatives do not understand what some of these people mean when they say ‘patriotism’.

It is with enormous sorrow that I say that many conservative words and causes have been poisoned by these groups, cheered on by the left-wing media, and allowed by the ambivalent right who either don’t know or don’t care that it’s happening.

Alexandra Marshall sums up her article on her blog:

Australians don’t like being reminded of aggressive race activism when they are trying to peacefully remember their dead.

Many agree it is neither the time nor the place.

Please don’t welcome me to my own country, that my Anzac ancestor fought for.

Snowy 2.0 blows out 20 times to $42b — we could have built 4 nuclear plants instead. By Joanne Nova.

Snowy 2.0 will stand as a monument to organized crime.

Big Government is the ultimate racket. The costs have been hidden, the FOIs denied, the Unions are raking in the cash, and a foreign corporation is soaking in easy money. And in the end, the stored power is likely to be a horrible $200/kWh, making it 6 times the price of brown coal plant power.

Malcolm Turnbull promised us it would cost $2b and take four years, and here we are, nine years later, with just $40 billion and three more years to go….

There is something in this project for every grifter.

• The incompetent management delays have added $8b in interest during construction. That will keep the Bankers happy.
• There are 3,000 extra workers nobody thought we’d need and they earn $250,000 each on average.
• And there is now $12 billion in interconnector high-voltage line costs. Like all “renewable” projects, the fuel is free but the cost to collect and distribute it burns like a magnesium flare. …

 

Snowy 2.0 is managed by Webuild, an Italian construction company that is the common thread in a string of Australian infrastructure projects facing multibillion-dollar cost blowouts.

 

The cost is now $1,500 per man, woman and child in the country. It’s like the government demanded every family of four pay $6,000 for something that doesn’t generate electricity, it just stores what wind and solar power make at the wrong time, so we can convert a useless product into something less useless.

This is pure subsidy money to wind and solar power. Each renewable project should be charged the fees to cover this, then see what the hourly charge for unreliable power really is.

One of Webuild’s delays was so that they could get worker accommodation built in Italy and sent to Australia. Because the Australian economy is not built around remote mining camps, right?

Four nuclear plants for the same price!

Or we could have built four nuclear plants, South Korean style, and got 5GW of actual generation, with production of 40TWh a year. That’s 100 times as much energy, available when we need it.

The big downside of course is that it’s a horror show for renewable investors and all the daft politicians who said wind and solar were “cheap”.

Shhh, keep it a secret:

Responsible Members of Parliament clearly have a duty to keep these obscene costs a secret … Clearly releasing the truth suddenly would demoralize the nation, increasing rates of depression and suicide if people knew how crooked and inept our government really is. This is secrecy in the interests of public mental health.

Then there is the matter of commercial sensitivity. The last thing we want rival infrastructure firms to know is how easy it is to screw absurd amounts of money out of Australia. They will all raise their quotes.

If word got out that budgets are flexible, deadlines optional, and overruns practically a revenue stream, every bidder would adjust accordingly. Australia will never get a reasonable tender again.

Naturally national security is also at stake. If adversaries learned how effectively a single project can inflate costs and strain the grid, they might attempt to replicate the model. Why sabotage infrastructure when you can simply commission it? Though in fairness, it’s hard to imagine how foreign spies could make the situation worse than the Labor party already has.

Tansy Harcourt in The Australian:

The true cost of Snowy Hydro 2.0 has spiralled to $42bn and should be the subject of a Royal Commission into “one of the biggest disasters” in Australian infrastructure, economist Bruce Mountain and energy executive Ted Woodley said.

By the time all associated infrastructure and financing costs were priced in, Dr Mountain said the bill was 20-times higher than former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull first promised. …

Webuild operates under a controversial cost-plus margin contract. Based on industry standards, that probably means it gets $1.20 for every $1 it spends, creating a perverse incentive to go big.

“That’s a wonderful business to have, isn’t it?” said a former insider….

Webuild has faced severe criticism for basic competency failures that plagued the project from the outset. …

“From day one, they were a complete bloody disaster,” the former insider said.

Craig Kelly:

Yet the Anti-Australia Institute — self-appointed champions against “corporate greed” and “super profits” — remains completely silent. …

They only hunt “profiteering” when it suits their Climate Industrial Complex paymasters.

When an Italian multinational is vacuuming up billions from Australian taxpayers on a failing green project, suddenly the outrage machine switches off.

The Renewables Barons are taking us all for a ride — a very expensive ride.

When violence enters the room, tolerance becomes surrender. By InfantryDort.

There is no such thing as coexistence in a scenario where people want to murder you.

The side that is the least tolerant of the other, wins. Every time.

Intolerance is the mindset of the victor.

Therefore the leftist ideologue will win in this scenario, barring some renewed resolve.

You see the signs every day.

>Their “politicians” dog whistle for murder and jail
>Their “media” dog whistles for murder and jail
>Their “protestors” will scream DEATH TO TYRANTS at you while you’re fleeing an active assassination attempt against you

You forget, we all seem to forget, that THIS ideology during the Spanish Civil War in 1936, caused people to dig up the bodies of dead nuns for very public desecration.

You can’t comprehend the level of hate that it takes to do something like that. None of us can. But they can.

So they will win, because we tolerate it.

And tolerance is a poisonous virtue when intolerance is pointing a gun at your head. Tolerance is a noble thing among the civilized. Against the butcher, it is only a prettier name for death. When violence enters the room, tolerance becomes surrender.

We get what we tolerate. And we tolerate everything.

Raw Egg Nationalist:

I think about this Saul Alinaky quotation a lot these days. Amazing how many people still don’t get it.

Trump Enters Ceasefire Talks With Democrats. By The Babylon Bee.

President Trump announced on Monday that his administration had officially entered into ceasefire talks with the Democrats.

“I’m hoping they’ll stop trying to kill me,” he said. “It would make my presidency run a lot smoother if I could just be alive.”

According to White House officials, Trump sent a delegation that included Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance to personally negotiate a ceasefire with Democrats. Rubio would reportedly be taking the lead in negotiations, while JD Vance would stand in the back looking menacing throughout the meetings.

“I think we’re very close to a deal,” Trump said. “I think we’re going to have a deal that is beneficial to everybody. I don’t get killed, and maybe they don’t look like evil psychopaths. I don’t really know what they want, that’s why it’s called negotiations. We’ll see.”

In keeping with Trump’s famous “Art of the Deal” tactics, the president has reportedly opened talks by asking not only for no more assassination attempts, but also to live forever and to be officially installed as king. It was reportedly his strategy that this extreme opening stance would eventually be negotiated down to no more people shooting at him.

New study on the Amish in America… ~10,000 women

Only 4% are childless. Only 9% have less than 3 children. The average number of children is 7.2

How do the Amish vote? BraveAI:

The Amish overwhelmingly lean Republican when they vote, though most Amish do not participate in elections due to religious beliefs emphasizing separation from the world and nonresistance.

Typically less than 10% of Amish adults vote, especially in national elections, due to “Two Kingdoms” theology and a desire to avoid political involvement.

Third worlders, on the other hand, overwhelmingly vote Democrat and vote at moderately high rates.

Lefty Violence Ramping Up. A roundup of responses to Saturday’s third assassination attempt on this non-left US President, focusing on facts and viewpoints that our media won’t cover. A long post, naturally.

Election Wizard:

Most of the people in that Washington Hilton ballroom tonight [at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner] are morally responsible for what just happened.

For over 10 years they’ve pushed the most hateful, vile conspiracies: Trump is a threat to democracy, a dictator, literally Hitler 2.0.

They demonized him nonstop, normalized violence in their rhetoric, then acted shocked when the inevitable keeps occurring.

Robby Starbuck:

One of the things Cole Allen believed [see his manifesto] was that the Trump administration had been blowing up random Hispanic fishermen. In reality they’ve been blowing up cartel boats that transport deadly drugs and weapons. Left wing media and politicians lied to him and he believed it. …

Media can’t wait to move on from this shooting but if right wing activists killed a top Democrat figure and tried to murder a Democrat president + his Admin this many times, they’d be running front page stories about us needing re-education camps before more people got killed. …

As someone who’s had with many death threats, not just against me but against my wife and kids, I just want to say that elected Democrats are the biggest reason why. They foment it. They pour the gasoline. They fan the flames. To me, they’re a threat, not a political party.

Kira, in response to Van Jones (American political analyst, media personality, lawyer, author, lefty) trying on the line that “we have to stop with this kind of violence, on all sides…”

No. There is no ALL SIDES political violence epidemic in this country. There is a left-wing violence problem and pretending it’s ALL SIDES doesn’t help solve the issue.

Commenters:

Hey Van, just curious when the last time you heard rightwingers refer to leftists as Nazis, homophobes, transphobes, bigots, slave-owners, existential threats to democracy or simply as racists? …

How many assassination attempts were there against Obama or Biden? Or either of the Clintons for that matter …

Van Jones, name a republican or conservative even remotely using inflammatory rhetoric?

Cole Allen to become a new Democrat hero? By John Hinderaker at Powerline.

It is entirely predictable. Allen recited the Democratic Party’s indictment of President Trump and his administration. This is how he described Trump:

“I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.”

Those characterizations are not only false but idiotic, and yet they are repeated every day by Democratic Party politicians and the Democrats’ official “news” outlets. Allen’s now-deleted social media accounts — he was on the radical BlueSky platform — were to the same effect. …

The assassination attempts by Thomas Crooks, Ryan Louth and, now, Cole Allen were the natural and inevitable consequence of the Democratic Party’s vicious propaganda war against Donald Trump. The Democrats have been trying to get Trump killed for a decade now, and one of these days they may succeed.

Crooks is dead and Louth was a little crazy, but Allen is alive and, it seems, completely sane. He is just a loyal Democrat. So he will have an opportunity to explain himself.

Predictions:

Crooks is dead and Louth was a little crazy, but Allen is alive and, it seems, completely sane. He is just a loyal Democrat. So he will have an opportunity to explain himself.

I predict that he will be hailed as a hero by the majority of Democrats. If Luigi Mangione is seen as a heroic figure by many Democrats for murdering an essentially unknown businessman, we can only imagine how many will approve of Cole Allen.

That will make Allen’s criminal prosecution interesting. If he defends himself with a full-throated justification of his assassination attempt — in which, after all, no one was killed — it is not clear that he will be convicted by a District of Columbia jury. The jurors might carry him out of the courtroom on their shoulders at the conclusion of trial.

Lefties going to have a hard time explaining this one away. By Scott Pinsker at PJ Media.

If it turns out that the suspected shooter, Cole Allen, is a psycho who escaped a mental hospital — or someone in the Secret Service did something stupid, like forget to check a hallway at the Washington Hilton — we’ll assign blame and move on. …

But if … Mr. Allen seems more like a run-of-the-mill leftist than a Joker-level crackpot, the Democratic Party will have a PR problem. …

That’s the weird paradox: The more ordinary Mr. Allen appears to be, the more dangerous the threat to the Democrats. …

In opinion poll after opinion poll, we’re still seeing the same thing we saw in 2024: The American people don’t like Republicans — but they DESPISE Democrats.

After Failed Assassination, Democrats Observe Customary 5-Minute Pause On Calling Trump ‘Hitler’. By The Babylon Bee.

In a the wake of yet another failed assassination attempt against President Trump, leading Democrats across the nation announced they would observe the long-standing tradition of a five-minute pause in calling Trump “literally Hitler”.

“This is a time for healing, reflection, and lowering the temperature. Specifically, five minutes’ time,” said Representative Hakeem Jeffries.  …

“We condemn political violence of all types, et cetera. Now, someone tell us when we can start calling Trump ‘Hitler’ again,” said Senator Chuck Schumer.

Remigration News. First, the pragmatic Danes have had enough:

Denmark is now forging ahead with deportations with a new law.

The left-wing Social Democrat Mette Frederiksen celebrated the move, stating:

“They rape girls and women. They are involved in gang crime and drug offenses. Unfortunately, we have not yet been able to deport them. This is primarily due to the interpretation of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).”

Now, this is set to change. She says Denmark is not waiting for the ECHR anymore. All migrants who have been sentenced to one year or more in prison must return to their home country automatically. There will be no case review.

Second, Martin Sellner is setting up the Institute for Remigration in Europe, as he explains:

I have been an activist since I was 14. I have distributed countless flyers, painted banners, organised demonstrations & conferences. We occupied roofs, blocked roads, chartered ships and did everything we could to spread awareness of the Great Replacement.

I co-founded the biggest and most successful patriotic NGO in Europe. Many adventures, amazing comradeship. My life was fast, dangerous and thrilling. I am grateful for it.

Every hour outside of activism I dedicated to research and writing. I wrote my philosophy thesis on Heidegger, published in the biggest German magazines, wrote many books, among them an Amazon bestseller about remigration.

My goal was always to have a bad reputation among bad people. I built up the biggest patriot YouTube channel before it was nuked. I got censored on every platform except X (🙏🏻Musk). I was banned from entering Germany, Switzerland, the UK, the USA, etc. I got dragged in front of court, my home got raided 3 times, only for “thought crime”, and always acquitted. My car was burned down by Antifa and I was debanked 116 times.

Now I am 37 and I will put all of the experience, knowledge, contacts and reputation into the next big project. In my life as an activist, author, organizer and influencer, I felt one missing piece: we have a lack of organization and strategy.

The remigration movement is an attention economy, but not a lobby. Too much clickbaiting, online drama. Not enough strategy, political leverage and real-life influence.

With the “Institute for Remigration” we want to change that. It will be like the NRA in the USA, but for remigration in Europe. On the 30th of May, at the Remigration Summit, we will officially start our work.

From the IFR website:

Remigration is the umbrella term that designates and encompasses a set of fiscal, cultural, economic, social, political, and logistical policies whose objective it is to prevent population replacement through the reversal of migratory flows, thereby restoring the sovereignty, independence, and identity of countries, through the defense of their ethnocultural specificity.

Australian racists of the left. By Chris Michell in The Australian.

Journalists are often quick to channel discussions about immigration into questions of political motivation.

ABC Insiders host David Speers was keen on April 19 to move the discussion on when both The Australian Financial Review’s Jennifer Hewett and news.com.au’s Samantha Maiden mentioned public concern about immigration.

Speers, Maiden and Faruqi seemed to agree [Liberal leader Angus] Taylor’s approach “may not be racist enough” to appeal to One Nation voters but too racist for others. …

That’s rich, coming from people who promoted The Voice. A more blatantly racist proposal than The Voice would be hard to imagine, but Australia’s left all supported it.

Note: saying “The Voice wasn’t racist because it targets descendants of ‘people who lived on this continent before’ rather than race” doesn’t get them off the hook. South African apartheid laws could have been framed as targeting descendants of ‘people who lived on this continent before’ or some such, but it wouldn’t have it been any less racist. The world sees right through such childish evasions.

And is this racism, or ideological/religious intolerance?

Dearborn, Michigan, is 55 per cent Muslim.

Its Muslim mayor last September demanded a Christian minister on the city’s council leave Dearborn after criticising the renaming of an intersection after a prominent Hezbollah supporter.

Christianity was not long ago the dominant religion in Lebanon, Syria, Egypt (Coptic), Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco and Libya. Sudan and Somalia were Christian and animist.

None of this means most Muslims here are not good Australians. Nor at only three per cent of the population is Islam likely to become our dominant religion. But we do need a mature focus on integration and less naivety about multiculturalism.

Oh, we know what the Australian left would say. They love Islam, because they hate successful or conservative whites — those with higher status than themselves in their own society.

The Freedom to Eat Meat. By Sama Hoole.

In medieval England, the peasant got caught poaching a deer from the lord’s forest and lost his hand for it.

In Tokugawa Japan, the shogun banned red meat for the commoners on spiritual grounds. The samurai class quietly carried on.

In Soviet Russia, meat rations for the ordinary worker were tiny. Party officials ate differently.

In 1940s Britain, beef was rationed. The War Cabinet dined on steak.

Today, meat is framed as a planetary evil by think tanks funded by industrial grain conglomerates and billionaires with plant-based portfolios, while lentils are recommended to the public and wagyu is served at the conference in Davos.

Every era has its own method. The method changes. The pattern does not.

The people at the top eat the meat. The people at the bottom are told they shouldn’t.

A very illuminating story:

The school textbooks tell you the settlers crossed the Atlantic for religious freedom.

Some of them did, partly. What the textbooks leave out is the thing that sits in the actual letters, in the sailors’ accounts, in the merchant pamphlets circulating in English ports from the 1580s onwards: a major reason people came to America was the wild game. Meat you could take. Meat nobody owned. Meat that walked into camp.

For a population legally separated from the animal for five hundred years, this was the whole pitch.

Consider what they were leaving.

A family in a Devon cottage in 1618 eats pottage. Oats, barley, an onion, whatever greens grew near the back door. No meat in it this week. No meat in it last week. There will be meat in it on Christmas Day, God willing, if the chicken is still alive by then. The deer in the forest at the end of the lane have been the king’s property under the Forest Laws since 1066. Taking one is a hanging offence. The father has never taken one. His father never took one. The institutional memory of not taking one goes back five hundred and fifty-two years.

Then the stories arrive. From sailors. From ship’s captains. From merchants returning through Bristol and Plymouth.

The birds come in flocks that darken the sky for three days. Not an afternoon. Three days. Passenger pigeons in numbers later estimated at three to five billion in a single flock, making a sound early settlers compared to the roar of a river that refused to stop. A man with a net could take five hundred in an afternoon. The king of England had no claim on the sky over Massachusetts.

The rivers, the captains said, ran so thick with salmon that the water appeared to boil. The deer walked into camp, looked at the fire, and were shot. The oysters on the Atlantic shore came the size of dinner plates, piled in reefs you could lean over the side of a boat to harvest. Turkeys weighing thirty pounds stood in clearings with the fearlessness of an animal that had never been hunted by anything on two legs. Bison herds on the plains took four hours to cross a ford.

And nobody, crucially, owned any of it.

The father in Devon lies awake that night thinking about the sky going dark for three days. He is also thinking about religious freedom. Theological persecution was real. The Mayflower passenger list included genuine dissenters. That was part of it. It was not, for most of them, the biggest part.

The biggest part was that the animals in the captain’s story belonged to nobody, and the family had been watching animals that belonged to somebody else walk past their cottage for twenty generations.

Between 1620 and 1640, roughly 20,000 people made the crossing. By 1700, 250,000. By 1900, fifty million Europeans had crossed, most of them peasants from cultures where meat had been restricted for centuries, most of them arriving within the first generation at a standard of eating their grandparents would not have believed.

A labourer in Pennsylvania in 1750 was eating more meat per week than an English nobleman had eaten in 1450. An Irish emigrant’s grandchild in Boston in 1900, whose great-grandmother had starved in 1847 while Irish cattle were shipped past the coffin ships to English markets, was eating steak on a Tuesday and not thinking about it.

At the centre of the great migration was hunger. Specifically, hunger for meat. Enforced since 1066, reinforced by Enclosure for another four hundred years, reinforced by the quiet understanding that the venison belonged to the lord and the pottage belonged to you. …

You could eat like a lord without owing a lord anything. They crossed an ocean for that. And having got to it, they did not give it back.

Lest we forget.
