@EYakoby It's amazing how all the progressive organizations keep silent about Afghan women being banned from schools, but go nuts when men are banned from women's sports. 🤨

[Darren Grimes @darrengrimes]

A woman is dead. A child is motherless.

And the British state spent months pretending her killer was a child.

He wasn’t. He was 27. Now confirmed in a Home Office circus.

Only the system — terrified of being called “racist” — chose not to admit it. https://t.co/vblOQKOiXI

Sentiments of Venezuelans

I’m going to say this once, and I don’t care if it makes people uncomfortable.

If you have never lived in Venezuela
If you did not grow up there
If you did not watch your country collapse in real time
If you did not stand in food lines
If you did not watch your parents lose everything they built
If you did not have to leave your home with nothing

Then shut the fuck up.

You do not have an opinion.
Your opinion does not matter.
And you don’t get to lecture anyone about what’s happening there.

I’m Venezuelan.
I lived there most of my life until my early twenties.
I watched my country go from a functioning democracy to full blown socialism right in front of my eyes.

This is not politics to me.
This is trauma.

Before socialism, Venezuela was not perfect, but it worked.
There was trade.
There was money coming in.
There was investment from the US.
There were jobs.
There was food.
There was medicine.

My family had five businesses.
We had our home
We had investments.
We had a future.

Then the government started nationalizing everything.
Private companies were taken.
Foreign investors were pushed out.
Imports were blocked.
Price controls destroyed production.
Corruption exploded.

And everything died.

Not slowly.
Violently.

People didn’t suddenly become poor because of “capitalism” or “the US” or whatever bullshit slogan people like to repeat online.

They became poor because socialism destroyed incentives, destroyed production, destroyed trust, and destroyed hope.

People today in Venezuela are not debating ideology.
They are trying to survive.

They are trying to find food.
Trying to find medication.
Trying to keep their families alive.

So when I see people in the West posting from comfortable homes, full fridges, stable currencies, and safe streets talking about “imperialism” or “US bad” or “Trump this or that”

No.
It’s not complicated.
You’re just ignorant.

China is not rebuilding Venezuela.
Russia is not rebuilding Venezuela.
Cartels are not rebuilding Venezuela.

They are stealing.
They are extracting.
They are draining what’s left.

If the US comes in and reinvests
If refineries get rebuilt
If infrastructure gets restored
If imports open back up
If food, water, and medicine become accessible again
If people can work and earn with dignity

Then yes.
Let them take all the oil they want.

Because at least something gets built instead of destroyed.

This is something to celebrate.
Not because it’s perfect.
But because for the first time in a long time, there is hope.

Hope that families can eat.
Hope that people don’t have to flee their country.
Hope that Venezuela can function again.

If you’ve never lived through a country collapsing
If you’ve never watched socialism destroy everything around you
If you’ve never had to leave your home because staying meant starvation

Then again
Shut the fuck up.

This isn’t theory.
This isn’t politics.
This is lived experience.

🚨 THIS IS SHEIN - WITHOUT THE FILTERS

Mountains of plastic-wrapped clothes piled like garbage. Workers sitting on concrete floors sorting nonstop. No music. No glam. No “haul.” Just pure volume.

This is how $3 tops happen.
Not magic. Not efficiency.
Just scale so big you’re never supposed to see it.

Fast fashion doesn’t disappear after checkout - it gets buried out of sight.

So what’s worse: the conditions… or the fact most people don’t care as long as it’s cheap?

Sir Stephen Watson, Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police:

‘I think it's some very important point to reflect upon that Jewish children are the only children in our country who, day to day, go to school behind large fences guarded by people with busy jackets, and where there are routine police patrols in and around those areas. Our Jewish communities put up with a way of life in our country today that nobody else has to put up with. I do think that there is something very significant in that, something very significant in the realisation of it, and we all, I think need to question ourselves afresh as the dynamic continues to change as to whether what we are doing continues to be adequate.’

Why is it acceptable to blame all Jews for Israel’s actions—but suddenly “wrong” to blame Muslims for Islamist massacres? Collective guilt is either wrong, or it isn’t. Pick one.

"Our" saintly NHS and the consequence of not doing your job properly.

I took my mum to the dentist. While she was in the chair she had a stroke. I got called into the dentist’s room and she was just lying in a heap on the floor. The dentist (a qualified medical doctor) had recognised it immediately and had rung 999 repeatedly, explained the situation clearly, and begged for an ambulance. We kept ringing and ringing. They wouldn’t come. They wouldn’t even listen to a doctor. What hope did I have?
With no ambulance coming and my mother deteriorating on the floor, we had no choice. We carried her to my car. A dental nurse who was there jumped in with us because I didn’t know the quickest way to the hospital. I drove, talking to Mum the whole time, keeping my voice normal, telling her not to worry, acting like nothing was wrong. She mumbled, “Oh don’t worry Jo, I’ll live.” Those were her last words to me.
I roared up to A&E. The dental nurse ran inside to get help. I waited in the car, but no one came out. It felt like ages. I had to lift my unconscious mother out of the back seat in a fireman’s lift and carry her to the doors while screaming for help. A nurse told me not to handle her like that because I might cause damage – The brass neck. (I think of that idiot most days)
Our NHS finally placed her on a bed and wheeled her away without telling me where they were taking her. I did ask but no one answered. I gave her details at the front desk and explained my car was half on the pavement outside. The woman at the desk told me not to worry, she would sort it so that I didn’t get a ticket.
They put me in a side room, a windowless cupboard, just out of sight of all the many, many trolleys with people on them in the corridor. I sat there for what felt like about 30-45 minutes. No one came. They’d forgotten about me. I went to get water because I couldn’t just sit there, but then I worried and so I came back and waited some more. Finally, going back to the front desk, I asked, “Where’s my mum?!?”
I heard hushed talk, then someone walked me down to another area. She was still in the same bed I’d seen her wheeled away in, pushed to the side of the room with people walking all around her like she was in the way. I kept asking what was going on, but no one answered and just put a curtain around the bed. My brother arrived then; I’d managed to get hold of him while I was stuck in the cupboard. We stood there crying, in total shock, wondering what the hell was going on. No one was doing anything. A woman was lying there having had a massive stroke, and we were just looking at each other, helpless.
I don’t know how much time passed, but eventually we were moved to another department in a private room.
We sat with her through the night. I was at the side of her bed stroking her hand but also not wanting to because I knew that would have really annoyed her. I told her I loved her but didn’t want to go on too much because I didn’t want to scare her. At about 2 am I knew she had died.

The nurse sent me home with a plastic bag of her urine-stained clothes.

This is what happens when millions use a service they never paid a penny into while the people who funded it their whole lives are left to die without dignity.
This is what happens when rigid red tape matters more than a doctor screaming down the phone that someone is having a massive stroke.
This is what happens when common sense is banned and box-ticking is king.
This is what happens when the job is not done properly.
This is the consequence.

PS. I got a parking ticket.

If you cancel Mayoral Elections because you know Reform UK will win, and end the right to trial by jury to give corrupt judges more power, it makes you a dictator.

Wise words

“My name’s Frank. I’m 64, a retired electrician.
Forty-two years I spent running wires through houses, fixing breakers, making sure people had light in their kitchens and heat in their winters. Never once did anyone ask me where I went to college. Mostly, they just wanted to know if I could get the power back on before their ice cream melted.

Last May, I was at my granddaughter Emily’s school career day. You know the drill — doctors, lawyers, a software guy in a slick suit talking about “scaling startups.” I was the only one there with a tool belt and work boots.

When it was my turn, I told the kids, “I don’t have a degree. I’ve never sat in a lecture hall. But I’ve wired schools, hospitals, and your principal’s house. And when the hospital generator failed during a snowstorm in ’98, I was the one in the basement with a flashlight, keeping the lights on for newborn babies upstairs.”

The kids leaned forward. They had questions — real ones. “How do you fix stuff in the dark?” “Do you make a lot of money?” “Do you ever get zapped?” (Yes, once, and it’ll curl your hair.)

When the bell rang, one boy hung back. Small kid, freckles, hoodie too big for him. He mumbled, “My uncle’s a plumber. People laugh at him ’cause he didn’t finish high school. But… he’s the only one in the family who can fix anything.”

I looked that boy in the eye and said, “Kid, your uncle’s a hero. When your toilet overflows at midnight, Harvard ain’t sending anyone. A plumber is.”

Here’s the thing nobody told me when I was young — the world doesn’t run without tradespeople. You can have all the engineers you want, but if nobody builds the house, wires the power, or lays the pipes, those blueprints just sit in a drawer.

We’ve made it sound like trades are what you do if you can’t go to college, instead of a path you choose because you like working with your hands, solving problems, and seeing your work stand solid for decades.

Four years after high school, some kids walk away with diplomas. Others walk away with zero debt, a union card, and a skill they can take anywhere in the world. And guess what? When your furnace dies in January, it’s not the diploma that saves you.

A few weeks ago, that same freckled kid’s mom stopped me at the grocery store. She said, “You probably don’t remember, but you told my son trades are important. He’s shadowing his uncle this summer. First time I’ve seen him excited about anything in years.”

That’s the part we forget — for some kids, knowing their path is respected changes everything. It’s not about “just” fixing wires or pipes. It’s about pride. Purpose. The kind that sticks with you long after the job’s done.

So next time you meet a teenager, don’t just ask, “Where are you going to college?” Ask, “What’s your plan?” And if they say, “I’m learning to weld,” or “I’m starting an apprenticeship,” smile big and say, “That’s fantastic. We’re going to need you.”

Because we will. More than ever. And when the lights go out, you’ll be glad they showed up.”

If state pension recipients have been fiscally dragged into paying tax, please tell me why benefits recipients shouldn’t.

[Bernie @Artemisfornow]

There’s a family of 7 with neither parent working, who already receive over £22,000 a year in tax payer funded unemployment benefits, plus £560 per month in rent, (also paid by tax payers), giving them a total income of over £29,000 a year.

And they are about to get £10,000 a year MORE when the 2 child cap is lifted

They have far more disposable income than the average family because they have no rent or expenses for transportation to and from work.

This is completely unsustainable and grossly unfair. Working people shouldn’t have to fund those who choose not to!

It’s the weirdest way of developing societies, where the few work their arses off for the many. And it’s all about to go tits up 💥

[Kevin Edger @KEdge23]

This is wrong.

Taxpayers should not have to fund others having bigger families and more children.

Labour are raising taxes to increase benefits. Totally unfair. https://t.co/tJriwmmNKw
