I introduced a constitutional amendment months ago, actually, to fix birthright citizenship.

After the Supreme Court decision, that amendment matters more than ever. I'm asking my colleagues to take it seriously and help me get this passed.

[The Conservative Alternative @OldeWorldOrder]

The framers of the 14th Amendment were very clear about Birthright Citizenship:

"This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens..."

The Supreme Court just abandoned the Constitution, folks.

I at least got to live for 40 years in a country that looks and functions something like America. The fact that my children are having that opportunity stolen from them fills me with rage so deep I can’t describe it. I truly hate the people who have done this to us.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

I have just finished reading Justice Clarence Thomas's 91-page dissent in the Supreme Court’s ruling striking down Trump’s birthright citizenship order.

It's incredible.

After seeing a scone recipe posted for Memorial Day, I’ve got a few things to say. And frankly, they won’t be particularly polite.

I’m immensely proud to call both the United Kingdom and the United States home. I grew up with traditions from both countries, still split my time between them to this day, and my own children are being raised with that same dual identity. I understand the humour, customs, etiquette, history and cultural differences on both sides of the Atlantic probably better than most people. Which is exactly why this sort of performative nonsense winds up me so much.

Because one thing that absolutely doesn’t translate is turning Memorial Day into some twee Instagram aesthetic involving scones, jam and curated “holiday weekend” content.

To my fellow Britons, and to others outside the United States who may not fully understand the distinction, Memorial Day isn’t the American equivalent of a bank holiday garden party. Nor is it interchangeable with Veterans Day.

Veterans Day in November honours all who have served in the United States military. Memorial Day is entirely different. Memorial Day is for the dead. It exists to honour the men and women who never came home. Just like Rememberance Day.

It’s a day rooted in grief, remembrance and sacrifice.

That distinction matters.

Because of that, my company does not operate on Memorial Day or on Remembrance Day in Britain. That’s always been a hard rule for me and it always will be.

The day before, we make one simple memorial post expressing gratitude, remembrance and respect for those who gave their lives. We also explain that we’ll be turning off sales on our website and stepping away from social media entirely for 24 hours. No promotional posts. No sales pitches. No “holiday weekend specials”.

The socials go silent because some things deserve dignity rather than being turned into marketing opportunities.

Freedom is not free. And reducing remembrance to a sales opportunity has always struck me as profoundly tacky.

Which brings me to the scones.

Seeing an American woman posting a scone recipe for Memorial Day genuinely made my skin crawl a bit. Not because scones themselves are offensive, obviously, but because the whole thing felt painfully artificial and culturally manufactured.

Scones are not associated with Memorial Day in the United States. At all.

The average American family gathering for Memorial Day is far more likely to involve a barbecue, burgers, hot dogs or a cookout than cream tea. The eternal British debate over whether the jam or cream goes first isn’t exactly dominating conversation in American cities.

And let’s be honest here. Scones aren’t inherently American in the first place.

They’re deeply associated with British culture. Tea culture. Country houses. Cream teas. The sort of thing people in Cornwall and Devon still somehow manage to argue about with complete sincerity. Like pineapple on pizza.

So when a certain someone, who spent less than two years in the United Kingdom before fleeing back to California at warp speed, suddenly starts presenting herself as the patron saint of jam and scones for an American Memorial Day audience, it comes across as painfully contrived.

And somehow even more absurd when the recipe itself was shared in grams and Celsius. I use both systems myself because I live between both countries, so I understood it perfectly well. But the overwhelming majority of Americans bake in teaspoons, tablespoons, cups and Fahrenheit.

Marketing a very British-coded scone recipe in European measurements for an exclusively American audience on an American military holiday is such a bizarrely specific level of inauthentic branding that it almost feels like parody.

What made it even stranger was the timing of the whole thing.

The day before, the Prince of Wales was on a national radio programme being asked, as Duke of Cornwall, how he takes his scones. He said he takes them the same way Queen Elizabeth II did.

Then the very next day, up pops an entire promotional post centred around scones, complete with a recipe for Memorial Day.

What a coincidence.

You could almost admire the opportunism if it weren’t so embarrassingly obvious.

Because that’s what this increasingly feels like. Not authenticity. Not cultural appreciation. Branding. Very calculated branding.

And very confused branding at that.

This is a woman who publicly distanced herself from Britain, criticised the Royal Family, the institution, the press, the culture and the people.

She then almost immediately pivoted into selling tea, spreads, biscuits and aggressively British coded lifestyle products.

All of it is framed under a title she and her children only possess because of the very institution she claims damaged her.

You cannot spend years positioning yourself as oppressed by Britain while simultaneously using British aristocratic styling via a royal peerage to market candles and preserves to Americans on Instagram.

At some point the contradiction just becomes ridiculous.

Even stranger is the fact this pantry line is only available in the United States while borrowing almost entirely from British imagery and British culinary aesthetics. Tea. Biscuits. Jam. Scones.

And now Memorial Day apparently.

Which again makes absolutely no cultural sense whatsoever.

Memorial Day isn’t a whimsical lifestyle mood board of hers. It’s not a backdrop for curated brunch content.

It’s not an excuse to cosplay English tea culture because your brand identity remains fundamentally incoherent.

And yes, I feel exactly the same way about all companies running “Celebrate Memorial Day with 20% off!” mattress sales, car dealership blowouts or whatever. The language itself is grotesque.

I will not “celebrate” the deaths of American servicemen and women. I’ll honour them. I’ll remember them. There’s a difference and it matters.

As President Ronald Regan once said “The American flag does not fly because the wind moves it. It flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it.”

The names of those who died serving their country should not be reduced to discount codes, influencer engagement bait or twee social media recipes designed to sell fruit spread.

But perhaps that’s the real issue underneath all of this.

Nothing ever feels sincere.

Every cultural reference, aesthetic choice, every carefully staged lifestyle moment feels reverse engineered for branding purposes rather than rooted in any genuine identity.

Which is why the whole thing lands with such a thud.

As someone who genuinely loves both Britain and America, I find it exhausting watching someone who barely spent five minutes in the UK attempt to monetise a fantasy version of Britishness whenever it becomes commercially useful.

Particularly when it’s attached to a day that is supposed to be about remembering the fallen.

It’s tasteless.
It’s opportunistic.

And it’s entirely on brand for her and her business.

[First Lady Melania Trump @FLOTUS]

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.

People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.

A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.

Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

[Autism Capital 🧩 @AutismCapital]

If there’s one learning lesson you need to take away in 2026 it’s that the truth doesn’t matter anymore and reality isn’t real.

People will invent narratives and facts to suit desired objectives and if enough people agree, that’s the new reality. People who point out that the emperor has no clothes will be crushed. Katherine Maher of Wikimedia said it best herself. “Our reverence for the truth is a hindrance to getting things done.” (Paraphrasing)

We’re living in a world where lies don’t matter anymore. There are only words and how effective they are to reaching desired outcomes. People don’t care about the truth. They care about achieving their goals.

We’re living in Demon times.

Whoever is taking over operations in Minnesota, you should take my advice seriously.

Far leftist that work with anarchist groups were let into your circles and were given access to info they should NOT have. They are being vouched for by ego Maniac kids who haven't gotta a clue .

I'm pretty sure @RealTomHoman will take my warnings seriously.

[Matt Finn @MattFinnFNC]

So here's one for ya. One of our rental car license plate numbers has been added to the anti-ICE databases in Minnesota and our car has been deemed "confirmed ICE." The activists take license plates down and enter them into data bases. It's not clear which encounter with protestors resulted in our plate being posted. We've had people take pictures of our license plate a few times.
So what happens to the person (perhaps family with kids) that have our rental car next?

Lib tries to protect a child predator from ICE:

“Do you have a warrant? I’d like to see it!”

ICE: “I have a warrant, but I’m not going to show you.”

Lib: “Why not?”

ICE: “Because you’re a nobody.”😭

Why do these people think they have a right to view others’ arrest warrants?

[Eric Adams @ericadamsfornyc]

This is not peaceful protest. It is intimidation.

There is a disgusting coordinated campaign targeting religious communities.

It began with demonstrations outside synagogues. Now churches are being stormed, disrupting worship and frightening families and children.

If you stayed silent because you weren’t Jewish, and stay silent now because you aren’t Christian, understand this: when they come for you, there will be no one left to speak up.
