I always wondered wether Putin or Zelensky were retarded.
Seems Zelensky is the reason there is no peace then.
Very simply he should be told to give up Donbas or no more aid is coming.
All of this of course provided Putin isn't also equally retarded and then doesn't accept ending the war after getting Donbas.

In September 2025, top government censorship officials from Europe, the UK, Brazil, California, and Australia met at Stanford to discuss ways to coordinate censorship at an international level. The meeting was titled “Compliance and Enforcement in a Rapidly Evolving Landscape.” Australia’s top censor, eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant, gave the keynote.

Though Grant did not provide her remarks to Public, previously she had told the World Economic Forum (WEF) that she was organizing censorship officials around the world because “we know we’re going to go much further when we work together with other like-minded independent statutory authorities around the globe.”

Inman Grant’s efforts appear to be coming to fruition in Australia, where the lower house has passed sweeping censorship and surveillance legislation that the Senate is now considering. The legislation would allow the Commissioner to monitor “lawful but harmful” speech.

Inman Grant, an American who once volunteered to a journalist that she turned down a job with the CIA, can already order a platform to reveal who is behind an anonymous account from anywhere in the world.

But the DDoC bill now before the Australian Senate would also let her use fake accounts that deceive users into thinking they are citizens and not government spies, record their legal speech, and give what she learns directly to Australia’s spy agencies. Those agencies could then share that intelligence with the FBI and other “Five Eyes” intelligence-sharing partners in the US, UK, Canada, and New Zealand.

The bill enables this by granting eSafety the ability to create an unlimited number of AI-generated “sock puppet” identities (effectively bots) under policies set “in consultation with the Commissioner of the Australian Federal Police.”

The private information that the Australian government could share with foreign intelligence agencies could include a user’s name, address, phone number, email, along with what the Privacy Act calls “sensitive information,” which includes political opinions, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, and health records.

The Institute for Public Affairs (IPA) first reported on the Privacy Act changes on Monday, and Network Affects noted last month that the new censorship legislation designates eSafety an “enforcement body” under the Privacy Act, expanding its ability to access personal information.

In 2013, documents released by whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed that British intelligence officials had allowed, as part of a secret deal with the U.S. government’s National Security Agency (NSA), for it to gather information on UK citizens who were not under suspicion of any wrongdoing.

The eSafety Commissioner could thus unmask anonymous accounts in the United States, France, or Germany, for example, that complain about controversial issues like mass migration, and report them and all of their private information to the FBI and European spy agencies.

“We have power to share with the AFP [Australian Federal Police]; we don’t have power to share with intelligence agencies at this time,” testified Heidi Snell, eSafety’s General Manager of Regulatory Operations,in October this year. “But the amendments would see us being able to share directly with those other government agencies,” she added.

Those agencies include the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS), Australia’s equivalent of the CIA; the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO), which performs a role similar to the FBI’s domestic intelligence division; the Australian Signals Directorate (Australia’s NSA); the Office of National Intelligence (ODNI); the Department of Home Affairs (DHS); the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (State Department); the Department of Defence; and any other “Commonwealth entity.”

The DDoC Bill contains a provision that would put eSafety in the same legal category as the Australian Federal Police under the Privacy Act for “surveillance activities, intelligence gathering activities or monitoring activities.”

eSafety told Public in an email that information it sends to the police may include “the account names or the identity of the users who posted the material.” A Federal Police witness testified on Oct 21 that police can pass eSafety’s information to “our ASIO partners.”

The censorship bill would change Australia’s Privacy Act so eSafety could collect sensitive personal information, including political opinions, without users’ consent,a warrant or judicial oversight. To invoke this Privacy Act exception, it would only need to “reasonably believe” that the collection is necessary for its functions...

Denmark actually did the math on mass migration, and the results are brutal

Their Ministry of Finance counted every tax paid and every public expense for every resident, broken down by where they came from and how old they are

Immigrants from the Middle East, North Africa, Pakistan and Turkey cost the state about $11,000 PER PERSON every single year. Western immigrants pay in about $7,800 more than they take

The first group is a net cost at EVERY age of their life

"The economy needs migration" is one of the biggest lies ever sold to the West

History was made last night.

For months, we were saying that 2026 was the most consequential midterm election of our lifetimes.

Unfortunately, we were right. Sometimes history is to be celebrated; other times, it is to be mourned. Always, it must be reckoned with.

2026 was not simply a blue wave; it was a blue tsunami. It was an ass kicking. It was not simply a bad 2006 midterm election. It was a Watergate-level repudiation. What happened, and why? What are the consequences, and where on earth do we go from here?

When all the votes were counted, the problem wasn’t turnout. Instead, our voters, Republicans, Libertarians, Independents, showed up and voted, and rejected our candidates, voting Democrat instead. We’ve lost the House. We’ve lost the Senate. When all is said and done, we will have lost eight to 10 Senate seats.

We lost in historically red states, like South Carolina and North Carolina, Kansas and Iowa. We lost in purple states, like Michigan, and New Hampshire, and Georgia. And we just barely won by just a single point in bright red states like Florida and Louisiana, and then there’s Texas.

Nowhere are the consequences of this election greater than Texas. In the Lone Star State, we lost every single statewide election. For weeks, I had been publicly warning on this podcast that we were in very real danger of losing everything in Texas. Far too few believed that was possible. I am very, very sorry that it came to pass. Texas has not had a Democrat governor since 1994. We haven’t had a Democrat senator since 1993. Now we’ll have both.

Why were the results so overwhelming? Pundits and analysts will break down the results for weeks or months or even years to come, but several things are already evident today.

Years ago, the very best political advice I ever got was from Heidi. She said, “It’s not about you. It’s about them. It’s about their kids, their families, their hopes, their dreams, their futures.” Too many politicians forget that.

Take the state of Kansas, for example, a state that has not elected a Democrat senator since 1932. It just did. Here’s what exit polling showed were the top issues in Kansas.

Number one, cost of living, energy, and groceries. That was listed as number one by 30.6 percent of voters.
Corruption. Number two, 18.5%.
The cost of the Iran war, 10.1%.
The candidates are terrible, 7.9%.
The Canada trade war, 7.6%.
The GOP didn’t do enough to support Trump, 6.6%.
Republicans didn’t pass the Save America Act, 5.6%.
Trump’s focus on monuments, 5.5%, and data centers and AI, 3.8%.

The top issue, cost of living, is very real. Too many in politics dismissed it. They didn’t understand. They pointed to the macro numbers showing the stock markets soaring, median income at record highs, and poverty at record lows. Those data are true, but they don’t tell all of the story.

Here are some stats that are a lot more real and personal. Spam, Hormel’s processed meat substitute, broke record sales, selling 113 million cans last year. That is nearly as much spam as was sold during the entirety of World War II. 29 percent of Americans have used buy now, pay later for groceries this year. That’s double the share just two years ago.

In August, banks repossessed 42% more homes than they did last year. In 2024, car repossessions topped 2.3 million, above the 2009 peak in the middle of the Great Financial Crisis. In 2025, 6% of 401k holders took hardship withdrawals, paying penalties. That is a record, and triple the norm.

And here’s one that’s really stunning. Americans made more than 75 million paid plasma donations in 2026. That’s another record. That means 200,000 Americans every single day, with a needle in their arm, just to pay for groceries.

That is very real pain from real Americans, and too many Republican politicians seem like they didn’t understand or they didn’t care. Food is too high, gas is too high, diesel is too high, insurance is too high, life is too high.

Tariffs have made everything too expensive, and the Iran war has dragged on too long. It should have been brief, decisive, and over. It needs to end, and we should never, under any circumstances, give the Ayatollah billions of dollars.

There’s a very real economic disconnect. Our K-shaped economy is a yawning divide. Last year, we saw the world’s very first trillionaire, a modern-day Thomas Edison, at the very same time that millions were struggling to feed their families. Data centers being constructed were turning billionaires into centibillionaires, while simultaneously the average American’s electricity bill went up 30% in the last five years.

Understandably, people were pissed off, and elected Republicans didn’t do enough to address their very real pain.

So, what do we do now? We need to listen and respond. We need to champion economic policies that make a real difference in working people’s lives, and we need to deal with the consequences.

Texas is blue. That is a hard sentence to utter. But Texas, today at least, is blue. As we sit here today, I am the only statewide elected Republican who remains in Texas. That’s not something I ever thought I would say.

We can be certain that the Democrats in Austin and in Washington will overshoot. In Texas, they will try to raise taxes dramatically. They may even try to adopt a state income tax, or even a California wealth tax. They will try to shut down the energy industry, destroying jobs across our state. They will embrace the radical transgender agenda. They will persecute those they perceive to be enemies, especially Elon Musk.

And in Washington, they will attack Trump every single day, constantly. Impeachment hearings, subpoenas, his family, cabinet members, business leaders, open persecution, and nonstop retaliation. Make no mistake. Nationally, the radicals are in charge. The communists and the Islamists who have taken over the Democrat Party have now taken over the United States Congress. They will be unleashed.

Sadly, that means many Americans will be hurt. Texans will be hurt. Their assault on business will make Texas a much less attractive place to start or grow a small business. Texas will become more like California if they succeed in halting all new investment into AI.

The economic results will be dramatic. Over $700 billion in new projects are scheduled to start in the next year. If the Democrats shut them all down, our country will very likely go into a recession. That will suit the Democrats just fine. They’ll just blame it all on Donald Trump.

In the next two years, we need to do two things.

One, fight the madness. I will work with Democrats when they’re willing to be reasonable. Last night, I called James Talarico. I congratulated him on his very impressive victory. It was a pleasant conversation, and I told him that I looked forward to working with him to try to benefit Texas.

So, if there are things like flood relief for the Hill Country, or trying to get the space academy to Texas, he and I will work together. But if the newly elected radicals push policies that hurt Texas, raising taxes, destroying jobs, opening the border, releasing violent criminals, threatening our children, undermining our constitutional rights, I will fight with all of my strength to defend Texas and to defend the Constitution.

And number two, we need to rebuild, getting behind policies that directly benefit the constituents we lost.

There’s a complicated story, no doubt, of what happened on Election Day, but as I see it, the key constituencies we lost were blue-collar voters, what had rightly become the core base of our party, Evangelical Christians, who didn’t show up with the same numbers and fervor as prior elections, farmers and ranchers. Tragically, we alienated rural America. Young people, who excitedly had voted Republican in 2024, and who shifted hard blue this cycle. And of course, Hispanics.

For Hispanics, there’s a strong overlap with young people and blue-collar workers. In 2024, just two years ago, I was proud to carry Hispanics statewide in Texas by six points, and we swung the Rio Grande Valley red for the first time in a century. It can be done, but in this election, those Hispanic voters overwhelmingly went back Democrat. We have got to turn that around.

And for young people, we need to be the party of the future. We need to champion policies that expand their future. Our two single biggest legislative accomplishments of the past two years, Trump Accounts and the school choice tax credit, which will unleash tens of billions of dollars in new scholarships for kids, are generationally powerful. I was proud to author both of those transformational policies, and yet too few candidates all across the country ran on that record.

Too few voters were even aware of what we’d accomplished for their kids and their future. But we need to build. We need to expand to continue creating a new investor class for hundreds of millions of Americans, help everyone, every American, become an owner, to have real skin in the game, to create new generations of capitalists ready to reject socialism.

People voted as they did because they were angry. Ironically, the Democrats that they elected are going to advance policies that will make affordability worse. The Democrats want gas prices higher. They want to ban gasoline engines altogether. Their extreme environmental mandates will drive up food prices and the prices of everything else.

But hear me now: we will bring Texas back. I am filled with hope and optimism. Texas will be red again. We have not suddenly become a bunch of tofu-eating, gun-banning, tutu-wearing pinko commie liberals. That ain’t us. Texas is still Texas.

We will rebuild as a true blue-collar party, not by embracing socialism, but by being real free-market conservatives. The way we built the Texas economic miracle in the first place, and we will build and rebuild America as well.

When the zealots overreach, and they will, we will stand ready to lead in the direction of freedom, of prosperity, of safety, and security, and common sense. We will return to a new dawn of freedom in America.

It is dark right now, but it is always darkest before the dawn, and morning is coming. That is my fervent prayer, and that is my commitment to you.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.

So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."

Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.

There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true.

But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.

Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:

1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel

Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.)

In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.

The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.

If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.

But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.

I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

You can cancel an election and ban the winner from running (Romania), you can ban your opponents from ever running again (Hungary), you can threaten to ban the main opposition party and subject it to relentless investigations by the secret police (Germany), you can threaten a ban on the leading presidential candidate and make them wear an ankle monitor (France), every member of your circle can be investigated for corruption (Spain), you can try and cancel local elections because you will lose them (Britain), and you can storm the constitutional court with riot police because you want to control it (Poland).

You can just do all these things. The secret is you just have to be on the right side of the European Commission.

ΑΠΙΣΤΕΥΤΟΤΑΤΟ ΚΙ ΟΜΩΣ ΒΡΕΤΑΝΙΚΟ!

Το παλληκάρι που βλέπετε είναι ο Νταχίρ Ιμπραήμ, Σομαλός. Πήγε στο Η.Χ. (Ηνωμένο Χαλιφάτο) μέσω Ιταλίας, ζητώντας άσυλο. Του το έδωσαν το άσυλο οι ψυχοπονιάρηδες οι Εγγλέζοι και μαζί με το άσυλο του έδωσαν και όλο το πακέτο που παίρνουν οι εισβολείς στην Ευρώπη: ρούχα, σπίτι, επιδόματα. Αυτά κάλυψαν όλες του τις ανάγκες εκτός από μία. Αυτή την ανάγκη, το παλληκάρι από τη Σομαλία, που έβραζε το αίμα του, αποφάσισε να την καλύψει μόνος του, απειλώντας με μαχαίρι γυναίκες που έβρισκε στη γειτονιά του, στο Μπέρμιγχαμ. Βίασε τρεις, πριν τον συλλάβουν το 2006. Τον έκλεισαν στη φυλακή για 10 χρόνια. Όταν βγήκε, έπρεπε βάσει νόμου να απελαθεί.

Έλα όμως που η Πέμπτη Φάλαγγα στα σωθικά της Ευρώπης, το δίκτυο των δικηγόρων και των ΜΚΟ, που κονομάνε χοντρά από αυτές τις υποθέσεις, έπεσαν επάνω να τον προστατέψουν! Να το κρατήσουμε εδώ το παλληκάρι για σπόρο! Έχει καλή ψυχή, δεν ήξερε ότι στη Βρετανία τις γυναίκες τις έχουμε διαχωρίσει από τις κατσίκες και νόμιζε ότι είναι το ίδιο, όπως και στην πατρίδα του! Μια παρεξήγηση ήταν, κε πρόεδρε! Μην τον στείλουμε πίσω στη Σομαλία, είναι βάρβαροι εκεί και η ευαίσθητη ψυχούλα του θα τραυματιστεί. Με προσφυγές και κόντρα προσφυγές στα δικαστήρια, όλο αυτό το κύκλωμα για το οποίο μόνο μία ποινή υπάρχει αλλά δεν θέλω να την πω διότι στην Ε.Ε. δεν προβλέπεται, κατάφερε να το κρατήσει το τεφαρίκι εκ Σομαλίας στο έδαφος της κάποτε Μεγάλης Βρετανίας.

Δεν έδωσε λύση όμως στο μείζον πρόβλημα: τι γίνεται με τη λίμπιντο του Ιμπραήμ; Οπότε, ο ελεύθερος κι ωραίος πλέον Ιμπραήμ βίασε άλλες δύο γυναίκες. Τον ξαναπιάσαν. Οι δικηγόροι του χρησιμοποίησαν ως υπερασπιστικό ισχυρισμό ότι ο βιασμός δεν κράτησε πολύ! Δεν τις είχε κλεισμένες, κύριε πρόεδρε, σε ένα δωμάτιο να τις βιάζει συνέχεια! Να ανακουφιστεί ήθελε το παιδί: ψεκάστε, σκουπίστε, τελειώσατε. Ή μάλλον: ψεκάστε, τελειώσατε -το σκουπίστε θα το κάνει το θύμα. Οι δικαστές δεν πείστηκαν και τον καταδίκασαν σε ισόβια με ελάχιστη έκτιση ποινής τα 10 χρόνια, πριν αρχίσουν τα παρακαλετά για αποφυλάκιση.

Αλλά η ιστορία δεν τελειώνει εδώ. Κάποια στιγμή, στη φυλακή, το 2019, του πόνεσε το γόνατο. Οι γιατροί της φυλακής, ανθρωπιστικά κινούμενοι, του έδωσαν παυσίπονο με κωδεΐνη. Ο Ιμπραήμ, αντί να πει ευχαριστώ, έκανε αγωγή κατά του NHS, του Εθνικού Συστήματος Υγείας! Διότι το παυσίπονο χορηγήθηκε μέρα με ήλιο κατά τη διάρκεια του Ραμαζανιού, και η θρησκεία του δεν του επιτρέπει να παίρνει τίποτε όσο έχει ήλιο, ούτε καν παυσίπονα! Θα έλεγε κανένας ότι βλέποντας την αγωγή, το σύστημα δικαιοσύνης του Ηνωμένου Χαλιφάτου θα έβαζε τα γέλια. Αλλά τι Ηνωμένο Χαλιφάτο θα ήταν τότε; Οπότε η αγωγή του Ιμπραήμ εκδικάστηκε και ο δικαστής πριν μερικές μέρες τον δικαίωσε! Έχει δίκιο λέει το παλληκάρι! Παραβιάστηκε το άρθρο 14 της Σύμβασης για τα Ανθρώπινα Δικαιώματα!

Για την ιστορία, ο δικαστής που έβγαλε αυτή την απόφαση λέγεται Mohammed Shakil Najib.

Οπότε ο Βρετανός φορολογούμενος που πλήρωνε τους δικηγόρους του Ιμπραήμ, καθότι ήταν άπορος, που πληρώνει δικαστές τύπου Mohammed Shakil Najib, θα πληρώσει και την αποζημίωση που θα καταβάλει το NHS στον πεντάκις βιαστή, για την παραβίαση της θρησκευτικής του ελευθερίας, για το δικαίωμα δηλαδή να πονάει χωρίς παυσίπονο στο Ραμαζάνι!

Δεν θα τελειώσει καθόλου καλά όλο αυτό.

Look, if you’re not noticing the pattern now, I don’t think you ever will. There was and remains a need for an effective right-wing pressure group to hold Farage’s feet to the fire and prevent him from compromising too much. But that isn’t what Restore is. Its primary purpose is almost certainly to prevent the destruction of the Conservative Party’s barely animate corpse, and in doing so to hand the country to another left-wing government for at least four more years. Nobody thinks Farage is the saviour, least of all me, but he’s better than the future Restore is offering.
