Footage of Taylor Swift in her massive mansion tonight enjoying the fireworks with Travis Kelce š
This comes after she shut down half a city for a huge wedding that included many disposable props and required the air conditioning of an entire stadium.
In a 2020 Miss Americana documentary, Taylor Swift described climate change as one of the āhorrific situationsā facing young people. She calls on you to make sacrifices and vote for candidates who restrict your usage.
Meanwhile, her personal carbon footprint over just the last 48 hours is more than the average person uses in 3 entire lifetimes. Read that again.
Can you name the apartheid state?
A small state, established on the ruins of empire, that defines itself as the nation-state of one specific people. Its language, its symbols, its character are reserved by law for that people alone.
A quarter of its population belongs to a different ethnic group. Many of them were born there. Their parents were born there. And yet the state refuses them citizenship. Instead, it issues them a special passport marking them as something less. They cannot vote. They are barred from entire categories of employment. A permanent, legally defined underclass, sorted by ethnicity and by when their families arrived.
The state demands loyalty tests. Tens of thousands of members of this minority, elderly people among them, are ordered to prove their allegiance and their command of the ruling nation's language. Those who fail receive letters: leave within 30 days or be removed by force. Grandmothers who have lived in the same apartment for fifty years are told to pack. Those who refuse can be held in detention centers while the state processes their expulsion.
The state didn't stop there. It shut down the minority's media outlets. It abolished education in their mother tongue, down to the last school. It demolished their monuments and memorials. It stopped admitting members of their ethnic group at the border. Officials openly describe all of this as protecting the demographic and cultural security of the majority nation.
How many UN resolutions has this country received? How many ICJ hearings? How many sanctions bills are moving through Western parliaments right now?
How many students are camped on university lawns for the grandmothers in detention? How many celebrities have posted the infographic? How many artists have cancelled their shows there? How many cities have voted to divest?
When did you last see a documentary about the stateless quarter of its population? A hashtag? A march? A single foreign minister expressing even mild concern?
The answer to every one of these questions is zero.
The country is Latvia. EU member. NATO member. Funded by Brussels, defended by Western armies, criticized by no one. Everything above is happening right now, in 2026, inside the European Union.
And now a few questions for the apartheid crowd. You. The ones with the word ready to go, the flags, the chants, the infographics. Where are you on this one? You didn't know? Or you knew and it didn't fit?
You scream about second-class citizens. Latvia has them by law, a quarter of the country. Where's your tent?
You cry about people being expelled from their homes. Latvia is deporting pensioners over a language exam. Where's your hashtag?
You say you're against ethnostates. Here's one, official, funded by the EU. Where's your boycott list?
Someone handed you a word, told you where to point it, and you pointed. You didn't check the facts then. You're not checking them now.
The West keeps judging Israel as if war in the Middle East is conducted by European law professors in air-conditioned (pun intended) seminar rooms.
It is not.
In this region, armies do not usually call civilians before a strike. They do not drop leaflets. They do not text warnings. They do not open evacuation corridors. They do not surrender the element of surprise so enemy commanders can escape, relocate weapons, and prepare ambushes.
Israel does.
And for this, it is accused of genocide.
That is the moral insanity of our time.
Look at what actually happened when Jews were on the losing side.
In 1948, when Jordanās Arab Legion captured the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalemās Old City, the Jews were expelled and ethnically cleansed. Jewish defenders were taken prisoner. Many were killed *after* surrender. The Jewish Quarter was devastated. Its ancient synagogues were destroyed or desecrated. Jewish graves on the Mount of Olives were smashed, uprooted, and used for construction, roads, and even latrines. Jews were banned from the Western Wall for nineteen years, despite armistice language requiring access to holy places.
This was not āoccupation.ā
This was actual ethnic cleansing from the eastern part of a city where Jews had lived for centuries and formed a majority in modern Jerusalem for generations.
Where was the global outrage?
Where were the campus encampments?
Where were the emergency boycotts?
Where was the word āapartheidā when every Jew was removed from the Old City?
Now look at what happened when same Arabs killed "Palestinians".
In Black September, 1970, Jordanās King Hussein turned his army on the PLO and Palestinian camps. Artillery shelled refugee areas. Thousands of Palestinians were killed in days. Estimates vary widely - from a few thousand to far higher Palestinian claims - but no honest historian disputes the scale of the bloodshed. The PLO was expelled to Lebanon, where it helped drag that country into its own catastrophe.
No āJordanophobiaā industry was created.
No global boycott movement.
No genocide case became the moral obsession of the West.
No one decided that Jordan had forfeited its right to exist.
Because when Arabs kill Jews, the world yawns.
When Arabs kill Palestinians, the world shrugs.
But when Jews defend themselves, the world suddenly discovers "international law".
And that is exactly what Hamas is counting on.
Hamas does not merely break the laws of war. It weaponizes them. It hides among civilians, fires from civilian areas, tunnels under neighborhoods, embeds command posts in the urban fabric, and turns homes into death traps. It knows Israel will hesitate. It knows Israel will warn civilians. It knows Israel will send soldiers house to house rather than simply flatten whole districts from the air like most armies in the region would do.
And Hamas uses that restraint as a military advantage.
Every warning Israel gives civilians is also a warning to Hamas.
Every evacuation notice gives terrorists time to move.
Every protected civilian structure becomes attractive to a terror army that wants cameras, corpses, and international outrage.
Every booby-trapped house forces Israeli soldiers into a choice no Western commentator will ever have to make: risk your own life clearing it room by room, or destroy the structure because Hamas turned it into a weapon.
That is one major reason so much of Gaza is ruined. Not because Israel woke up one morning and wanted rubble, but because Hamas built a battlefield inside civilian life and then demanded immunity from the consequences.
The West keeps asking why Israel cannot fight Hamas more cleanly.
The answer is simple: because Hamas designed the war to make clean war impossible.
Israel is fighting an enemy that invaded on October 7, butchered families, raped, burned, kidnapped, and then ran back into tunnels beneath its own people. It is fighting an enemy that treats Palestinian civilians not as people to protect, but as ammunition in a global propaganda war.
And still Israel warns.
Still Israel evacuates.
Still Israel sends sons into alleys, stairwells, tunnels, and booby-trapped rooms.
Still Israel is asked to prove, again and again, that it has the right to survive.
The double standard is not subtle anymore. It is the point.
The Middle East has seen massacres, expulsions, sieges, camp shellings, torture, desecration of holy sites, and mass ethnic cleansing. Most of it barely registers in the Western imagination. But the Jewish state - the one army in the region that actually places legal and moral limits on itself while fighting enemies who celebrate death - is the one dragged into courts, boycotts, and moral show trials.
The West does not understand what Israel is up against because the West still thinks jihad is a foreign-policy grievance, not a civilizational doctrine of conquest dressed in modern language.
But slowly, painfully, it is starting to understand.
After every jihadist attack in Europe.
After every murdered civilian.
After every church that is set on fire.
After every grooming scandal ignored because officials feared being called racist.
After every street where the mob chants for intifada while pretending it means justice.
The West is getting a glimpse of the world Israel has been warning about for decades.
Letās hope it understands before it is too late.
RFK debunks Gaza lie: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health and human services secretary, debunks the āGaza genocideā lie in a fiery exchange:
āAnd if you look at the Middle East, there is an ongoing genocide against Jews and Christians in all the nations in the Middle East. In 1948, there was a million Jews in the Middle East, in the Arab countries. Today there's about 15,000 left. 20% of the population is was Christian, now it's 5%. In Israel, in contrast, there were 150,000 Palestinians in 1948. Today there's almost 2 million. They're 20% of the population.ā
* āIf Israel wanted to commit a genocide against Palestinians, it could do it in a minute. It's doing the opposite. The Palestinian population is growing enormously around Israel. There are no Jews in Jordan. There are no Jews in Gaza. The number of Christians in Gaza has dropped by about 80% over the past 10 years.ā
* āIf you want to see where a real genocide is happening, it's not in Israel. It's happening in all the nations around it.ā @realRFKJr@Israel #october7thmassacre #Gaza #Hamas #genocide #MiddleEast #Christians
Two days ago some of us thought that Pat Conroy @PatConroy1 had sunk as low as a Labor MP could go but no he didnāt ⦠@Albomp had to go one better with this.
The Prime Minister took the unusual step of discussing his sex life in a podcast with comedian Nikki Osborne, declaring he and wife Jodie Haydon bonk āafter the footyā and that a Souths win was a good aphrodisiac.Ā
Albanese even weighed into a preferred sex partner when asked to pretend his marriage with Ms Haydon went ātits upā.Ā
Ms Osborne asked: āShag, marry, date: Kylie Minogue, Nicole Kidman, or Rhonda Burchmore?ā
Mr Albanese responded: āOh Kylie, clearly.ā
āAll of the above,ā Mr Albanese said.Ā
āSheās terrific.ā
Why sort of a man does that and this bloke is supposedly the Prime Minister of Australia!!! As for Jodie his wife, she must feel utterly humiliated. The man has no grace whatsoever. No dignity.
$15 billion = 15,000,000,000 was stolen by the CFMEU in Victoria
From 4.1 million taxpayers in Victoria
So $3658 was stolen from every single taxpayer in Victoria, to fund organized criminals at the CFMEU, who fund the Labor Party
And now Albanese has announced heās giving Victoria another $4 BILLION. Do you see the problem yet?
Some excerpts from the article:
On Sunday, the Australian Historical Association banned Roger Karge from giving his advertised presentation at its annual conference in Sydney the next day ā a conference sponsored by the Department of Defence.
Karge is head of the website https://t.co/asIwLTTrrG, where he and his researchers and professional genealogists have done astonishing work in debunking falsehoods.
For instance, they confirmed that Melbourne Universityās Professor Bruce Pascoe, author of the bestseller Dark Emu, is not Aboriginal at all, despite claiming to be descended from no fewer than three tribes.
Their research of genealogical records showed he has not one known Aboriginal ancestor, and Pascoe has refused requests from them and me to prove us wrong.
Whatās more, Karge and his team also helped to prove Pascoeās book peddled a junk theory that Aborigines werenāt originally hunter gatherers, but farmers living in āhousesā in ātownsā of up to 1000 people.
Pascoeās claims were preposterous, based on false or wildly misinterpreted sources, but he and his trash book were promoted as truth by the ABC, academics and teachers.
The more that Karge and his team dug, the more fakery they found.
Most spectacularly, they found at least six other university academics who also claimed to be Aborigines, despite having no known Aboriginal ancestry. Most held themselves out as Aboriginal experts and some even had jobs meant for Aborigines.
Again, none would give Karge and me any evidence that they were indeed Aboriginal, although one has since quietly resigned her position.
Other than that, the universities employing these white āAboriginesā have refused to take action, demonstrating how little commitment to truth our academies of learning really have.
In 2003, iconoclast historian Keith Windschuttle in his magnum opus, The Fabrication of Aboriginal History, exposed critical errors by historians ā including Lyndall Ryan, valorised by the AHA ā whoād claimed thereād been a genocidal campaign against Tasmanian Aborigines.
The AHSA was so shocked (by Windschuttle, not Ryan) that it met for almost a whole day to work out how to hit back.
But check Kargeās supposed sins for yourself. Go to his website and see whatās there that could possibly be a crime against the truth or history.
Was the AHA perhaps alarmed by his posts on the Risdon Cove āmassacreā in 1804, which Karge planned to elaborate on at its conference?
Youāll find Karge says claims by Ryan and other historians that between 30 and 50 Aborigines were killed there were largely based on false testimony by an āeyewitnessā who hadnāt actually arrived in Tasmania until two years after the affray, and didnāt give his evidence until 24 years after that.
The true death toll, says Karge, was about three.
So what debate, what truth, does the AHA want stifled? And are the academics it represents just as intolerant of dissent in our universities?

There exists a very long list of Arab nationalist leaders who openly and repeatedlyĀ stated Palestinian identity was manufacturedĀ only as a means to attack and destroy the state of Israel.
This is by no means a complete list:
āAwni Abd al-Hadi (1937): Testifying before the British Peel Commission, this prominent Palestinian politician and nationalist stated, "There is no such country as Palestine.
āZuheir Mohsen, Senior PLO leader, 1977 stated: "The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity⦠Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct āPalestinian peopleā to oppose Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons.ā
⢠Feisal Husseini (2001): The PLO's top official in Jerusalem famously described the Oslo peace process in an interview with Al-Arabi as a sham and a ruse to destroy Israel. He literally called Oslo a"Trojan Horse," suggesting the provisional statehood steps were strategic mechanisms meant to eventually liberate all of mandatory Palestine from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.
āYasser Arafat (1994): Shortly after signing the Oslo Accords, PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat gave a speech in a Johannesburg mosque where he compared the peace treaty to the Treaty of Hudaybiyyahāa historical ten-year truce signed by the Prophet Muhammad that was broken when the Muslim forces grew strong enough to conquer Mecca. ThisĀ evidencesĀ viewing statehood negotiations and manufactured PalestinianĀ identity as a purely tactical maneuver.
⢠King Abdullah of Jordan: Throughout the 1948 and 1950 period, following Jordan's military entry and subsequent annexation of the West Bank, the Hashemite leadership actively absorbed the region. King Abdullah proclaimed himself the ruler of Palestine and promoted the integration of the local Arab population, firmly opposing the idea of an independent, distinct Palestinian state.
⢠King Hussein of Jordan: In the early years of the Palestinian national movement, Jordan's King Hussein firmly opposed the notion of a separate "Palestinian entity." In January 1960, he convened a conference of Hashemite loyalists to denounce the "despicable innovation" of establishing a distinct Palestinian state, as Jordan sought to solidify a broader, united Jordanian national identity following its governance of the West Bank.
⢠Azzam Pasha: As the Secretary-General of the Arab League during the period surrounding the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, he viewed the Arabs in the region as an extension of a broader Arab nation. Historically, Mandate-era Arab leaders in the region often defined themselves culturally and religiously as part of the broader Ottoman system or as part of a "Greater Syria," rather than as a separate, distinct Palestinian nationality.
āHamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar in the 1990s, rejected manufactured Palestinian identity for a broader pan-Islamic one, being that as more conduciveĀ to oan-Arabism than over localized nation-states.
ā'Palestinian' historian Muhammad Y. Muslih, stated- during the entire 400 year period of Ottoman rule (1517-1918), before the British set up the 30-year-long Palestine Mandate, āThere was no political unit known as Palestine.ā
āAzmi Bishara, founding leader of the nationalist Balad Party (with seats in the Israeli parliament since 1999). In a statement he made inĀ 2002Ā he said: āMy Palestinian identity never precedes my Arab identityā¦. I donāt think there is a Palestinian nation, there is [only] an Arab nation.
This day (July 1) in 1994, Yasser Arafat ā architect of decades of terrorism and death ā entered Gaza and took control of the newly created Palestinian Authority.
The Oslo Accords had presented it as a āprovisionalā body meant to build toward peace. Instead, Arafat and his inner circle turned it into one of historyās most profitable kleptocracies.
Billions in international aid flowed in for schools, infrastructure, and development. Much of it disappeared into Swiss bank accounts, luxury properties, and payments to loyalists. Arafatās personal wealth reached into the billions.
That same culture of corruption and theft continued under his successors. Aid money has long funded terror salaries, tunnels, and propaganda instead of functioning institutions.
Sadly, Oslo did not create partners for peace. It empowered a parasitic ruling class that enriched itself while weaponizing grievance and violence against Israel.
July 1, 1994 was not the beginning of a new era of hope. It was the day the scam was institutionalized.
Some āprovisionalā arrangements become permanent disasters.
Nick Freitas, American Green Beret combat veteran:
"The West has taught Hamas that the more civilian casualties you get, the more funding you get, and the more support you will get."
A very wise man who summed up this war perfectly.
Can we make this go viral?
Why does no one care?
In Africa, black Christian kids as young as 4 years old are being sold inside bags as slaves by Muslim slave traders.
The media, progressives, Palestinian protesters, the UN, and even the Pope remain silent.
People often say that Israel is judged by a double standard.
I think thatās actually too generous.
A double standard means there are two standards. One is applied to everyone else, and a different one is applied to Israel.
But thatās not whatās happening.
The expectations placed on Israel are usually not standards that even exist anywhere else. They are demands that have never been expected of any other country, at any other time, under similar circumstances.
Imagine a teacher telling every student that they need a 70 to pass, but telling one student he has to score 110%.
That isnāt another grading standard.
A score of 110% isnāt even a real standard. Itās an impossible requirement invented for one person.
The expectations placed on Israel often work the same way.
People expect Israel to fight enemies who deliberately hide among civilians while achieving outcomes they have never expected of any other military in history.
They expect Israel to absorb rocket fire, terrorist attacks, and hostage-taking in ways they would never expect their own country to tolerate.
They expect Israel to supply electricity, water, fuel, and humanitarian aid to territory controlled by an organization dedicated to its destruction, while simultaneously condemning it for virtually every decision it makes.
They expect Israel to continually justify its very existence, even though no other established nation is routinely asked to defend its right to exist before its actions can even be discussed.
None of these are universal standards.
They are expectations created for one country and one country alone.
That is why I donāt think ādouble standardā is the right phrase.
A double standard assumes there is another standard being applied somewhere else.
There isnāt.
If you cannot point to another country, anywhere in the world or at any point in history, that has ever been expected to meet the same standard, then it isnāt a universal principle.
Itās a rule invented for one nation.
A standard that applies to exactly one country isnāt really a standard at all.
Tom Barrack: A Reckless Menace to Israeli Security
Tom Barrack, the US Ambassador to Turkey and Special Envoy for Syria and Iraq, stands as a walking diplomatic disaster for Israel. Security analysts and Israeli officials rightly blast his reckless, optics-obsessed transactional gamesmanship as a direct threat to the Jewish stateās survival.
This self-styled dealmaker prioritises flashy headlines, Turkish interests & Syrian centralisation over hard realities. He repeatedly stabs Israel in the back while pretending to pursue stability.
Barrackās signature blunder was his reckless push to deploy the Syrian army into Lebanon to ādisarmā Hezbollah. Defence experts called this delusional fantasy from the start. It would plant a hostile, untested Syrian force directly on Israelās northern border, a gift to Iranās proxies. Worse, Barrack steamrolled ahead without bothering to coordinate with Jerusalem. Lebanese cabinet talks collapsed in predictable chaos when Israel, kept in the dark, launched strikes on Hezbollah targets. Lives were endangered and opportunities squandered, all thanks to one envoyās amateur-hour negligence.
In southern Syria, Barrackās pressure on Damascus to crush decentralised threats handed the regime a blank cheque to assault the Druze in Sweida. Blood flowed as a result, forcing Israel into emergency airstrikes to shield a vulnerable minority with deep ties to its own Druze citizens. This wasnāt diplomacy. It was green-lighting ethnic conflict and then acting shocked when Israel defended itself and its allies.
Barrackās verbal assaults on Israel have been equally poisonous. He publicly sneered that Israel ācan claim it is a democracyā but insisted the Middle East thrives on ābenevolent monarchiesā instead. US lawmakers rightly called this obscene garbage that erodes a vital alliance and signals contempt for the regionās only true democracy. The Jewish Institute for National Security of America and others condemned the remarks as dangerous and ignorant.
Time and again, Barrackās feverish alignment with Turkish ambitions & the new Syrian regime has eroded Israelās strategic depth. He downplays threats, criticises Israeli self-defence as āpoorly timedā and bulldozes policies that empower adversaries while leaving Jerusalem blindsided. This isnāt creative statecraft. Itās chaotic incompetence dressed up as bold dealmaking, with Israeli blood and security as the collateral damage.
Israel and its supporters have every right to demand accountability for an envoy whose track record reads like a manifesto of self-inflicted regional wounds.
