when you read this remember when that political hack starmer was insisting that freedom of speech in his country was paramount and held first and foremost by all of them; 

The United Kingdom has eroded all citizens’ individual rights. No one is safe, even if they are thousands of miles away. Around 33 people are arrested each day for voicing opinions or engaging in legal actions that the government does not approve of. In 2023, authorities arrested over 12,000 people across England and Wales, citing the Communications Act and the Malicious Communications Act.

Arrests have increased and surpassed national borders. A man from Yorkshire was on holiday in Florida, participating in a favorite state pastime of marksmanship. He posted a picture of himself holding a rifle on social media, which should be perfectly legal. The rifle was lawfully owned and he was on private land. Nevertheless, the image was reported to the authorities, who descended on his home in the middle of the night. He spent the night in jail and later appeared at Bradford Magistrate Court where he faced up to six months imprisonment.

“‘I have not been able to sleep, I’ve lived in fear of a knock at my door for the last three months. I haven’t spoken to my neighbours for four months. It has damaged my ability to run my business,” the man told reporters. “I thought 1984 was a book, not an instruction manual.”..............more..........

 they came here to make somalia great again;

Somalia immigrants in Minnesota used a random name generator to create fake names of children to get paid

• Somali would create nonprofits
• Go register with the Secretary of State’s office, create a nonprofit
• Then filed to join the food program
• The day after that, they were claiming to feed 5,000 children a day. The children didn’t exist.

•  The created spreadsheets where they just used a random name generator to make up names of non-existent children to show to the state. ‘We really are feeding all these kids,’ but the kids didn’t exist, the food didn’t exist..........more.........

 kunstler compares the 'democracy we have with the democracy we want and believe we have but recognize its been hijacked by political types. we don't have that kind either, really;

Western Civ is choking itself to death with lawfare in the name of “democracy.” If you think just a little bit past the sale, you will realize that few will say what they mean by “democracy,” including the most ardent “democracy” cultists. What it supposedly means is legal outcomes that the political left wants, not what the law, or the truth, or justice requires.

On the surface, the left pretends to want outcomes that favor their roster of designated victim groups: women, dark-skinned people, and sexual outliers, the familiar cast of characters with its tiresome scripts. But that’s not what they really want. They don’t really care about the “marginalized.” What they really want is power. The “marginalized” are just their clients and shock troops. They want to push everybody around, tell them how to live, and what to think, including the marginalized. If society has to get wrecked in the process, that’s okay — that will just make it easier to “build back better” to their advantage, or so their operating algorithm dictates. The left does not think past its own algorithms.

The “democracy” cultists are foremost against freedom of speech, because speech is what distinguishes human beings among the rest of the animal kingdom, and if you allow it, human beings are liable to develop ideas — ideas being the product of language — and especially ideas that make the “democracy” cultists uncomfortable. For instance, the idea that the “democracy” cultists don’t deserve the power they crave because they are dishonest, unscrupulous, and sadistic. Can’t have people thinking that, or saying it out-loud............more.........

 this bunch believes that most of us will be deer in the headlights when it all goes down, and many absolutely will be;

Americans won’t riot — they’ll freeze, and they’ll obey. That’s the chilling warning from behavioral strategist Chase Hughes as nearly $11 trillion quietly migrates beneath the financial system. This isn’t 2008 déjà vu; it’s the blueprint for something far larger..........more...........

 dogma vs dogma. sounds like a new mad magazine series. already posted on this earlier but suspect there may be more entertaining stuff here;

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson unleashed a full-throttle defense of unelected bureaucrats on Monday during oral arguments in Trump v. Slaughter, openly arguing that presidents should not be allowed to fire the PhDs, doctors, and so-called “experts” who run America’s “independent commission” scam.

In other words, bureaucrats should outrank the elected President of the United States.

The case stems from President Trump’s March decision to fire Rebecca Kelly Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya, both Democrat commissioners at the Federal Trade Commission.

Trump acted squarely within Article II, which vests all executive power in the President.

FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson made it plain:

“President Donald J. Trump is the head of the executive branch and is vested with all of the executive power in our government. I have no doubts about his constitutional authority to remove Commissioners, which is necessary to ensure democratic accountability for our government. The Federal Trade Commission will continue its tireless work to protect consumers, lower prices, and police anticompetitive behavior.”

Rebecca Kelly Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya responded by suing to get their jobs back.

In July, Biden-appointed U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan overrode the firing and ordered Slaughter reinstated...........more..........

 we only know what the tv tells us unless we can find a new source is the question in scenes like this;

President Trump pounded a dishonest ABC News reporter after catching her repeating the exact same gotcha question during a White House event on the economy.

On Monday, Rachel Scott attempted to ambush Trump during a White House roundtable focused on the economy with an inquiry on the September 2nd strike on a drug boat from Venezuela ordered by his administration. This strike in question is the first of dozens against drug boats in the Caribbean Sea, which have killed nearly 100 drug traffickers and reduced the number of drugs entering America.

As TGP readers know, A November 29 report from the Washington Post claimed that Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered troops to “kill everybody” on board the boats and ordered a double strike to kill survivors clinging to the wreckage of a ship in the Caribbean Sea.

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) described the operations as “blatantly illegal,” adding, “Mark my words: It may take some time, but Americans will be prosecuted for this, either as a war crime or outright murder.”

Scott tried to deceive the room into believing that Trump had vowed to release the full video of the attack, which would supposedly put Hegseth in legal jeopardy, but Trump quickly called her out.

Trump then explained that he was okay with whatever Hegseth wanted to do regarding the video. He went on to say he saw the video and detailed why the strikes were so crucial to safeguarding our national security

But Scott remained unsatisfied and asked Trump the SAME question, even after he had already answered.

Trump, as expected, went absolutely nuclear on her with textbook fiery reply........more..........

 a clear example of left vs right in immigration;

The illegal alien from Venezuela, Luis Jesus Acosta Gutierrez, had resisted arrest by intentionally ramming an officer’s vehicle into a tree, according to the agency.

Gutierrez ran from the scene on foot and barricaded himself inside a stranger’s apartment.

The New York Post reports:

The illegal immigrant from Venezuela then went out on the balcony and spoke to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, who tried to get him to exit the apartment and surrender.

Meanwhile, a large crowd of anti-ICE protesters amassed and began assailing the agents with snowballs and other projectiles, but DHS said local police “refused” to assist in protecting them.

Gutierrez was eventually taken into custody after hours of negotiations.

“This suspected TdA gang member was not only released into our country by the Biden administration but also granted Temporary Protected Status. This yet again underscores the serious lack of vetting by Biden administration on the millions of aliens they allowed to come into the country,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin in a press release. .............more..........
