Mill fully expected to take a truly historical picture of Trump's head exploding, something that the oligarch class would have used for all time as a warning to the rest of us.

I spoke with my dear brother HRH Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman this evening to express Pakistan’s strong condemnation of the dangerous regional escalation following the Israeli attack on Iran and subsequent attacks in the Gulf region.

Pakistan stands in full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and our brotherly Gulf countries in this perilous time. We remain ready to play a constructive role for peace and pray that the blessings of Ramadan bring calm and stability to our region.

Do those who oppose Trump’s peace deal understand what’s happening yet?

Or are they still pretending to know better than the Arab & Muslim-majority region itself?

WOW. Roblox is REFUSING to answer Chris Hansen's questions about child predators on their platform because he interviewed Schlep, a prior victim, and the AG of Louisiana, who is SUING the company.

A reminder to public schools and universities considering denying @TPUSA chapters on their campus. Doing so violates their First Amendment rights (see Healy v. James, the SDS case). My firm will provide legal services to any @TPUSA group denied & the school will pay the fee.

Hamas thanks @realDonaldTrump for securing the peace deal.

Now watch the organised Western Left’s leadership have a panic attack.

ICYMI: The Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s National Counterterrorism Center provided intelligence that supported the arrest of a Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG)-affiliated baby trafficking ringleader, Martha Alicia Mendez Aguilar, also known as “La Diabla,” in Juarez, Mexico, on Sept. 2, 2025.

The joint operation, executed by Mexican law enforcement officers, disrupted an infant trafficking network led by “La Diabla,” that lured pregnant women to remote locations, performed illegal cesarean procedures, harvested the organs from the mothers’ bodies, and sold the newborns to couples in the U.S. for up to 250,000 pesos.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points.

I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should hold these days.

Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them.

However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right - nay, obligation - to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created.

When you've known people since they were ten years old it's hard to shake a certain protectiveness. Until quite recently, I hadn't managed to throw off the memory of children who needed to be gently coaxed through their dialogue in a big scary film studio. For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from journalists to comment on Emma specifically, most notably on the Witch Trials of JK Rowling. Ironically, I told the producers that I didn't want her to be hounded as the result of anything I said.

The television presenter in the attached clip highlights Emma's 'all witches' speech, and in truth, that was a turning point for me, but it had a postscript that hurt far more than the speech itself. Emma asked someone to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, which contained the single sentence 'I'm so sorry for what you're going through' (she has my phone number). This was back when the death, rape and torture threats against me were at their peak, at a time when my personal security measures had had to be tightened considerably and I was constantly worried for my family's safety. Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet thought a one line expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness.

Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. She's never going to be placed on a mixed sex public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in a high street changing room since childhood. Her 'public bathroom' is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed-sex changing room at a council-run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state-run rape crisis centre that refuses to guarantee an all-female service? To find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's identified into the women's prison?

I wasn't a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges.

The greatest irony here is that, had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasures me - a change of tack I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full-throated condemnation of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was - I might never have been this honest.

Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public - but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it.

Amazing 4chan prediction from March 11

[Megatron @Megatron_ron]

Putin is a dictator.

Europe in the meantime:

🇨🇵 France: Le Pen sentenced and ban from participating in elections

🇷🇴Romania: Elections annulled, winning candidate arrested and imprisoned

🇩🇪Germany: preparing a similar scenario with AfD

🇸🇰Slovakia: Assassination attempt of anti-war Prime Minister Fico

🇭🇺Hungary: Constant attacks against Prime Minister Orban and pressure to exclude Hungary from EU decisions.

🇪🇪Estonia: 25% of Russians banned from voting in elections.

[Cernovich @Cernovich]

Ukraine won’t have an election. Romania cancelled it after the “wrong” person was winning, then banned him from running. Now France has done the same.

This is what Democrats mean when they say. “We support democracy.”

[Cernovich @Cernovich]

Here are the cold hard facts for Chief Justice John Roberts and his toady Barrett. Judicial legitimacy was on the ballot. Those media outlets JR and ACB watch all promoted the view that J6 was an insurrection. Trump was guilty of every crime from keeping classified documents to exaggerating the value of real estate. I can't even keep track of all of the cases against Trump.

7 or 7 swing states.

Popular vote win.

Voters no longer trust the judiciary on matters involving Trump and his supporters. For good reason. Against long standing constitutional law doctrine on the Speedy Trial Clause, DC trial court judges denied change of venue motions for J6 defendants. There was no legitimate reason to delay trials due to a "backlog," where there were multiple nearby venues to hear their case.

Everyone knows why DC judges kept those cases in DC. Juries voted to convicted in 100% of cases. This is IMPOSSIBLE in any other context. John Roberts worked for years in private practice, and every lawyers knows this to be true, "Juries do crazy things."

There will always be a runaway jury that convicts an innocent man and frees a guilty one. This is human nature.

Yet this well-worn rule of human nature and litigation experience found one exception. Our nation's capital.

Had J6 cases been tried in other venues, there would have been some acquittals.

Alexander Hamilton wrote in the Federalist Paper No 78 that the judiciary, unlike the Executive and Legislative branches, has "no influence over either the sword or the purse." Hence judges must not exceed their appointed role, nor legislative from the branch.

Americans are watching DC judges appoint themselves as Head of HR, by demanding fired employees be reinstated. Now a judge, who cooperated with FISA court fraud, and himself should have been impeached and removed from office, has proclaimed he has the power to determine how Trump may use his power in matters of removing illegal immigrants who belong to terrorist gangs.

Trump can say, No. Courts can issue contempt findings. Who is going to serve the arrest warrants? US Marshals? The Marshalls fall under Executive authority.

Congress, of course, has the power to impeach and remove Trump from office. Judges lack any such authority, and it would be unfathomable to our Founders to see this vulgar power grab and use of show trials in DC.

Because Trump's actions are popular at the 80-20 or even 90-10 level, there is no appetite for the democratic remedy of impeachment.

In this conflict between activist judges, some of whom sleep in the same beds (literally) of people who represent the opposing side and work for Trump-hater groups, Trump will win.

This is not my opinion. This was proven this last November.

Judges must conduct themselves appropriately, which is to say, they must admit Trump has the power to deport illegal criminals, fire employees, and interpret the full use of his Article 2 powers independently.

Hyper-partisan judges drunk on stolen power haven't thought this through. They will lose the standoff.

For the sake of the country, Roberts must bring these lower courts to heel.

Otherwise judges will be in the position of issuing orders Trump is not obliged to follow, and as is his prerogative, he will not obey them.
