Four-hour batteries would have been useless during the 47-hour voltage sag that hit New York’s grid in July 2026. A factory in Westchester saw voltage browned out from July 2 to July 4. Frequency hit 47.5 Hz on July 3, sending solar inverters into fault mode. One home inverter alone logged 54 faults in that 54-hour period. The measurements were taken right at the meter on the Con Edison system.

😡⬇️ Anti-white racism: why is nobody talking about it? Henry Nowak should still be alive.

He deserved protection. He deserved to be believed. He deserved to be heard.

Instead, his final moments were spent pleading for help.

Sinn Féin’s Pearse Doherty has some cheek lecturing on the morality of naming a park after Chaim Herzog, when his party named a Newry play park after PIRA member Raymond McCreesh, detained for attempted murder, and a gun linked to the Kingsmill murders. The rewriting continues!

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

“David Lammy’s war on jury trials is an ‘attack on free speech’ – verdicts prove it”

The Free Speech Union will campaign against the Deputy Prime Minister’s proposal to scrap jury trials after our research found that defendants facing juries were nearly twice as likely to be acquitted on free speech grounds compared with those tried without juries.

When it comes to free speech offences, 75% of not-guilty pleas resulted in acquittals in the Crown Court in the year to June 2025, and 71% did so over the past decade.

We must stand up for our ancient liberties.

Paul Givan is going nowhere. Unionists will not be bullied by the whims of the Pan-Republican front.
I choose who serves as a DUP Minister and whatever about the faux outrage and petty politicking, Paul has my full support.

The Lords NI Committee confirms what many warned: the Windsor Framework is complex, impossible to navigate, and the democratic deficit remains.
Tinkering won’t fix it.
It must go.
NI’s place in the UK must be fully restored.

@Iromg @PeterBleksley @TalkTV Anyone complaining about the state of Gaza today should be reminded that this is the anniversary of the murderous attack by Hamas which is the cause of their self inflicted woes.

@DrChrisParry When they are on secondment from the PSNI, like the others from Wales and Scotland where the differences are more hats.

Can you believe our media are seriously reporting the story of a second migrant deported to France?
That’s a grand total of TWO.
France will send two over.
This is not a returns deal it’s a farce. An insult to the British people.

Condolences to the many friends and particularly the family of the Rev Martin Smyth on his passing. For many years the quiet man of Unionist politics, yet a resolute and determined man of faith and conviction.

May the Lord bring comfort to all who mourn at this time of grief and loss.

As I’ve said before, sharia courts should be banned.

The only laws are the laws of England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

It’s as simple as that.

So Europe now controls Gibraltar’s border.

Lammy should be in the Tower of London.

I know people mocked her, but sandwich images aside, there is very little funny about this.

Greta Thunberg has chosen to believe a pack of lies. She refuses to see the truth.

She is so certain (in her ignorant stupidity) that she took a boat to support a radical Islamic terrorist enclave.

When the Israeli army rightfully stopped her little publicity stunt, fed her, looked after her, and put her on a plane towards home - she disgracefully claimed she was kidnapped by them.

Yet at the same time she REFUSED to watch actual kidnapping footage (of Israeli civilians taken before those people were murdered) - footage that includes young children that were never to be seen alive again because they were slaughtered by the people she has gone on to support.

And yet somehow, in her own head - this all makes sense to her.

Greta lives in a hate-driven fantasy world that is so convinced of its own righteousness, it will justify almost everything. And that is not funny at all.

In fact, given the number of people who have also fallen into the same Jew-hating, immoral, pro-terrorist rabbit hole... it is all rather scary.

One fucking boat with a handful of fucking woke, activist virtue signalling wankers aboard is not a "flotilla".

Thank you for your attention.

Thanks to @WhiteabbeyPs for a fun afternoon at Jordanstown… I think 😂
