There is no other way to regard @Tim_Walz than irrefutably grotesque.
He’s a fan of people who sexually terrorize children. You just can’t get lower.

Definitely don’t share this video of them forcing the man into the car backwards and then becoming aggressive when he (obviously) doesn’t fit.

[Meeeeee @DonnaDlm71]

This has been handled so badly by Police. Do the decent thing & admit you got this very very wrong. There's a young man who's life might be ruined by this charge, a charge which is unfair & just an arse covering exercise.
Shameful.

In 1982, Robin Williams did a routine as the American Flag for the Norman Lear produced tv special "I Love Liberty" created to bridge political divides - and it's one of the greatest pieces you'll see 🇺🇸

Mamdani got the whole American dream in eight years. Came here as a kid, got citizenship in 2018, now he runs the biggest city in the country.

And on America's 250th birthday he sat down at George Washington's desk and told us everything wrong with the place.

I'm not even angry. I'm disappointed.

Here's the picture he painted:

He mocked the people who supposedly think America "becomes less the more people it welcomes."

Said it belongs "only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin."

Called our streets a place where "masked agents" are "terrorizing" people.

Said the country's wealth was built by "calloused, dirt-streaked hands" and then left to rot.

Looked out from Washington's desk and called the Americans who built this economy "small" and "weak."

Okay Mamdani. You hate it so much, why'd you come here?

Let's put that picture up against the actual country.

He's a Muslim kid born in Uganda and he's the mayor of New York. A guy back in his own birthplace said it plainly: over there he'd have had to claw his way in. Here we held the door open.

We've got the most diverse Congress in our history. It was never about skin color, no matter how many years the left spent forcing that story onto a country that kept proving them wrong.

A machine that grinds immigrants down? Nearly half the Fortune 500 was started by immigrants or their kids. 231 companies.

Apple, son of a Syrian.

Google, a kid who came over from the Soviet Union.

Amazon, son of a Cuban.

Put them together and they out-earn Japan, out-earn Germany. That's not a country grinding people into the dirt. That's a country handing them the keys.

It's been and always will be the land of opportunity.

And more people want in here than anywhere else alive. 53 million immigrants live here, the most of any nation on earth. We're 4% of the world's people and we hold 17% of the world's migrants.

Every year since 2007 you ask the whole planet where it'd go if it could go anywhere, the answer comes back the same. America. Number one. The line to get in wraps around the globe.

Here's the line he won't draw. I will.

Legal immigration built this country. The strivers. That's the front door working the way it's supposed to, and I'll defend it all day. You need to earn your spot, respect our laws and customs.

But that's not what we're running anymore.

Four years of Biden's open border blew the doors off. The foreign-born share of this country just hit 15.8%. An all-time high. Higher than Ellis Island, more than triple what it was in 1970.

The Census Bureau didn't expect that number until 2042 and we smashed past it. And on top of it, a record 14 million people here illegally, who cut in front of every single person who did it the right way.

The front door built America from Ellis Island to today. The fence is a different thing. Pretending they're the same is how you end up calling every American who wants a secure border a bigot.

And we've earned the right to standards. This is the most wanted country on the planet. We get to choose who walks in. You want in? Build something. Contribute. Earn it. Nobody's owed anything.

You come illegally, you commit crimes, you steal from taxpayers, you should get deported. That's not terrorizing the streets.

Mamdani walked through that front door in 2018. He of all people should be defending it. Instead he stood at Washington's desk and spent his speech blurring the line between the people who came the right way and the ones who broke in.

The man even admitted out loud that America is exceptional. Then spent the rest explaining why it isn't. On the one day the whole country stops to celebrate itself, he reached for the darkest story he could find.

That's not a man who's lost about America. That's a man who's angry at the country that gave him everything he has.

You don't like it here? Nobody made you come.

Nobody's stopping you from leaving. But you won't. They never do. Because there's nowhere else on earth that hands a person this much of a shot.

This country took him in and made him a mayor. He owes it. It doesn't owe him a thing.

We're not perfect. We're the best odds a human being has ever been handed. 250 years old, the richest and freest country alive, and the whole world is still clawing to get in while nobody's trying to leave.

They hold America to a standard they'd never hold anyone else to, then act shocked it falls short.

It's nonsense.

Respect the country. Especially when it's the reason you're standing at that desk at all.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

What an appalling speech the Mayor of New York delivered for the 250th anniversary of the nation.

Sadly, it reflects the view of America propagated for years by Howard Zinn and his like-minded colleagues in the universities and believed by armies of the young: a dark, oppressive country where common people are denigrated by tyrants and oligarchs, where immigrants are treated with contempt, where those with “soft hands” hold the wealth created by those with dirty hands.

No sensible person would claim that our country is without flaws, but the relentlessly negative picture painted by Mayor Mamdani is just absurd.

And it is the fruit of the Marxism that, sadly, is all the rage today.

[Ulrich @UlrichFY]

A un moment donné il faut se poser la question : Les femmes sont-elles capables de justice ?

Oui. Tant qu'elle est "gratuite". Passé un certain coût, elles préfèrent l'injustice. Pas les hommes.

Pour le comprendre, il faut lire l'étude d'Eckel et Grossman, publiée dans le Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization (volume 30, p. 143-158, 1996).

Cette étude a placé des hommes et des femmes devant un choix simple : partager une grosse somme avec un partenaire qui avait triché, ou une somme plus petite avec un partenaire honnête.

Refuser de récompenser le tricheur coûtait donc de l'argent. Et ce coût, le "prix de l'équité", on le faisait monter.

Le résultat ?

Tant que sanctionner l'injustice coûte peu, les femmes le font volontiers, tout aussi prêtes que les hommes à sanctionner le tricheur.

Mais...

Le plus intéressant dans cette étude, c'est ce qui arrive quand le prix monte, quand le coût d'opportunité de rendre la justice baisse par rapport au gain potentiel.

Les femmes cèdent : elles prennent la grosse somme et laissent filer le tricheur. Les hommes, eux, continuaient de refuser de récompenser l'injustice.

La conclusion des auteurs, mot pour mot : "men are more likely than women to make decisions on principle." L'homme sanctionne par principe. La femme, en moyenne, arbitre selon le coût.

Ok, mais quel est le lien avec ces femmes qui soutiennent des migrants qui se masturbent devant des enfants ou sanctionnent un adolescent pourtant victime d'une agression ?

Le lien, c'est toujours le même. Celui du coût de la justice. Le coût et le prix ne sont pas que des réalités monétaires, financières ou "économiques" comme on le considère aujourd'hui.

Tout est économie dans la vie, c'est la même chose en ce qui concerne la réputation et la perception que les autres peuvent avoir de nous, le risque d'être accusée à son tour. On calcule sans cesse le ratio bénéfice/risque dans notre propre intérêt personnel, c'est le propre de l'action humaine.

C'est pour cela que dans ces situations, le poids social et réputationnel de se voir accuser de racisme est un coût social que la femme refuse d'accepter. Elle bascule donc dans le comportement "injuste" plus facilement que l'homme.

Et les femmes, bien plus que les hommes, sont sensibles au coût réputationnel et au regard de la société sur leur comportement. Elles ajustent leur comportement à la pression sociale

La justice, la vraie, suppose de payer le prix du "principe" même quand celui-ci est exorbitant. Et c'est pour cela qu'il est problématique d'observer que la femme recule là où l'homme tient.

Problématique, car cette différence explique pourquoi, à mesure qu'elles se féminisent, nos institutions punissent de moins en moins, car elle intègre dans le calcul de la justice des arbitrages qui n'ont rien à y faire (compassion, regard des autres...).

A woman has been arrested shortly before she was allegedly about to carry out a mass murder near Las Vegas.

Nowhere in the local TV report or article does it mention that the police state in the arrest report that this woman is actually a man.

Yesterday morning I took an elderly lady shopping. My heart broke for her.

She's been placed in a house miles from everything. There are no shops, no doctor's surgery, nowhere she can walk to, hardly any neighbours, and she's been separated from her daughter and grandchildren. Every time she needs to see a GP, buy food or simply get into town, she has to pay for a taxi. I'd imagine she's spending around £100, at least, a week just on taxis. There are no buses to her house ans she cant walk far. She doesn't have the internet, only has a landline, and every week I see her becoming a little more lonely, a little more confused, and a little more overwhelmed. She worked all her life from 12 she told me, paid into the system all her life, and this is what she's left with.

My next passenger was a lovely Bangladeshi lady in a 4 bed council house on the estate the elderly ladys daughter lives on. She was genuinely really nice and sweet - this isn't a criticism of her at all.

She was travelling the train station to go to Plymouth to sit her citizenship test. She asked me for a receipt because her transport would be reimbursed, told me she has a free rail and bus pass, and receives food vouchers. If she passes, she hopes her family will be able to join her here.

This is absolutely nothing against her.

But surely people can understand why so many of us feel something has gone badly wrong with the system.

An elderly British woman, who paid taxes for decades, is left isolated, spending a huge chunk of her meagre pension simply trying to buy groceries and see a doctor, while the state is able to fund transport and other support elsewhere, in a county where over 30 thousand native Cornish are homeless, and the council is in £1.3bn of debt - this is absolutely insane.

Our priorities are completely upside down.

[Queen Bee @KingBobIIV]

This one journalist has done more for the BBC than anyone.

My entire highstreet, which until lockdown, was all greengrocers, pasty shops, little independent boutiques and bakeries is now entirely Turkish barbers, vape shops, sweet shops, mobile phone shops, kebab shops and international shops. 6 years. My beautiful little Cornish town is now like a totally different country.

To all my American brothers and sisters,

There are probably some mistakes in my English because it’s a long message.

Even so, I really wanted to celebrate this special day with all of you, so I made this video.

If you watch it, I hope you’ll do so with kindness and understanding.

Thank you so much! 🙇‍♂️

Residents of the small San Joaquin Valley city of Avenal, California are furious

They voted in April to recall the majority of their city council, but the city council members are refusing to leave office

Over 75% of voters approved recalling all four officials. Kings County certified the results in May

Voters targeted Mayor Alvaro Preciado and Councilmembers Leticia Gamez, David Reynosa, and Pablo Hernandez. 4 of the 5 council seats

The city leaders who are refusing to leave are saying the recall was conducted unlawfully by Kings County Elections instead of the city itself and lacked proper city authorization

So they wanted to be able to give authorization for a vote to remove them…. Sure……

I looked into this and verified they should all be removed. Under California law, the recalled Avenal officials should be removed from office

California’s recall process is governed by the California Constitution (Article II, Sections 13-19) and the California Elections Code (Division 11, §§ 11000 et seq.).

Once a recall election is properly held and a majority votes “Yes” to recall an official, that official is removed from office upon certification of the results (Elections Code §11384)

The election was conducted by Kings County, the county elections official, which is standard procedure for local recalls when the city does not handle it itself. The county certified the results after verifying the process

BREAKING:

An eyewitness has told the Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet what happened when Swedish football fan Christian Zedig was stomped to death by an African gang while watching the Norway - Ivory Coast game at a fan zone in Copenhagen:

“A group of 7 or 8 young men arrived at the square during the match.

It was completely clear that they had only come to cause trouble. They weren’t there to watch football”

According to the eyewitness, the young men waved to the Norwegian and Swedish fans who were present when Ivory Coast equalized to 1-1.

“When Norway scored the 2-1 winner, the Swedes and Norwegians responded, but with only half the intensity of the other group”

“Then the young guys started throwing beer and other things at the Scandinavians and started assaulting them. Suddenly a fight broke out, when the young men ran over to the table next to them and began beating the Norwegian and Swedish fans.”

The situation then escalated quickly, the witness explains.

“One of the young men – a big guy – swung a fist at the head of a man in a Swedish national team jersey, who immediately fell to the floor.

After that, several of the other members of the gang ran over and stomped him several times on the head him while he was lying on the ground. They then quickly fled the scene”

To summarize, African supporters of Ivory Coast taunted Swedish and Norwegian fans after the African team scored. When the Scandinavians responded the same way after Norway scored the winner, they were assaulted by the Africans, with one of the Swedish being stomped to death while unconscious after taking a powerful punch to the head.

This is Europe in 2026. People can’t even watch the World Cup in peace in their home countries.

We don’t have to live like this…
