I did some things, and then I retired. Now I do very little, mostly things I want to do.

You want to know what's most chilling to me? At first I couldn't figure out what was going on with this post. Wildly disproportionate likes to views and almost no one was commenting on it. Very few were actually seeing it.

Then I started to look at WHO was liking the post.

Likes are anonymous. That's what was going on. It quickly became apparent the Northern Irish specifically and the British in general OVERWHELMINGLY were liking my post.

They couldn't comment on it and they couldn't share it.. for fear of crackdown. But the algo, recognizing that people liked it, showed it to friendly Americans who COULD share it. And did. By the hundreds.

The natives may only speak in support of their own suicide. That's all the government will let them do openly. If they speak in support of their survival they risk prison.

So they don't.

But they can, as a tiny act of subversion, like a twitter post that says exactly what they wish they could, if they only could.

That's what's happening. That's why everything seemed so wildly off.

Not what “happens” what happened. Your money is given to the generation before you.

People think the government has it in a savings account for them. They don’t and never have.

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey stood up in Parliament on Wednesday and asked Prime Minister Keir Starmer whether he agrees that 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘤𝘩 𝘪𝘧 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩 𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘨𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘮𝘴 and whether he will 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘯 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘟 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘥.

Starmer’s answer: 𝘞𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘶𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯. He did not name the Sudanese asylum seeker who attacked bus passengers with a hammer in Belfast, triggering two consecutive nights of street protests. He did not name the open borders policy that brought the attacker into the country on asylum status. 𝐇𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐥𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐤’𝐬 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦.

The precedent from Southport in 2024 is instructive. When a young man stabbed three little girls at a dance class — k∗lling all three — and riots broke out across England, the British government prosecuted over a thousand social media posters for their online commentary. People were jailed for tweets. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭. Dissent was the crime. Migrant violence was the context the government refused to name.

Now Belfast is on its second consecutive night of protests following a Sudanese asylum seeker’s violent attack on a city bus. The response from Parliament is identical. Davey’s framing —𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘤𝘩 𝘪𝘧 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩 𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘨𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘮𝘴— is the tell. The problem isn’t the violent attacker. The problem is Americans owning the platform where Britons discuss violent attackers. The solution is not border enforcement. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐚 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠.

Thomas Sowell: "I was just doing some research on Detroit and it's decline, as they kept raising the city income tax, the revenues kept falling.

Barack Obama was asked by Charles Gibson in 2008, why he wanted to raise the tax rate because he will raise more revenue if he does the opposite, and his response was that, 'it's a matter of social justice'. He didn't care about the consequences.

If he can get people to be mad at the rich and vote for him, it's a political success. He doesn't care whether the government collects more revenues or not."

She tried to keep her head down. Savanah Hernandez, a reporter for Turning Point USA’s Frontlines, says she went to the anti-ICE protest outside the Whipple federal building in Minneapolis intent on doing one thing: 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦, 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘴𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴. It didn’t matter. The moment the crowd learned who she worked for, 𝘪𝘵 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘨𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘵.

What she describes next is not heckling. It is a beating. 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 — 𝘢 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳, 𝘢 𝘧𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘥𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘦𝘳 — 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦 𝘶𝘱, Hernandez recounted. Every time she tried to leave, she says, she 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝, 𝐩𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝, and finally slammed to the side by a mob that wanted to hurt her.

Then the part that should chill every American who still believes the police will come when called. They didn’t. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦, she said.

[Captain Allen @CptAllenHistory]

On This Day — June 5, 1967

F**k Around: Arabs spent weeks boasting they would annihilate Israel. Egypt massed troops on the border, imposed a blockade, ordered UNEF out & promised destruction. Jordan & Syria joined. Radio Cairo called on Arabs everywhere to kill Jews.

Find Out: At 7:14 a.m., the entire Israeli Air Force (except 12 planes left for home defense) took off in Operation Focus. They caught the Egyptian pilots eating breakfast. By 11:05 a.m., 180 Egyptian planes were destroyed on the ground. Within hours, most of the Jordanian and half the Syrian air forces were also wiped out.

Then the real shock:

- Israel overran the entire Sinai Peninsula and reached the Suez Canal in four days.

- Despite no element of surprise, Israeli forces recaptured all of Judea and Samaria, including the Old City of Jerusalem.

- In brutal fighting, they seized the strategically vital Golan Heights, including Mount Hermon — “the eyes and ears of Israel.”

On June 7, Colonel Motta Gur’s paratroopers entered the Old City. For the first time in 2,000 years, Jewish soldiers stood at the Western Wall. The shofar was blown. Even hardened, secular soldiers broke down and wept with joy. The Jewish people were home again.

776 Israeli soldiers fell — heroes who turned near-certain destruction into one of the most legendary military victories in history.

The Arabs had spent 19 years vowing to erase the Jewish state.

They F****d Around.
They Found Out.

After two millennia of exile and 19 years of encirclement on borrowed time, the Jewish people reclaimed their ancient capital, reunited their ancestral homeland, and reminded the world in six miraculous days what a determined nation can achieve when its back is against the wall.

Am Yisrael Chai.

Just a reminder that the ONLY Republican running for Mecklenburg County (Charlotte NC) District 1 dropped out of the race...

...BECAUSE NOT A SINGLE PERSON WAS ARRESTED FOR FIRING SHOTS AT HIS HOME WHILE HIS WIFE AND KIDS WERE INSIDE!!!!!

Local police SPECIFICALLY CONFIRMED the attack was targeted at Aaron Marin.

Bullet holes can be seen in trees, cars, mailbox, and his kid's basketball hoop. Marin's ENTIRE FAMILY was forced to leave their home and Aaron says they live in, "constant fear."

He says his kids no longer even feel safe to play outside and they are moving now.

CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY ZERO MAINSTREAM MEDIA OUTLET COVERED THIS??????!!!!!!

REPUBLICANS ARE LITERALLY BEING SHOT AT AND THERE IS SILENCE FROM THE MEDIA!!!!!!

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

USA. Summer. It is 95 degrees outside, and I am shivering inside a sandwich shop.

I have discovered how Americans forge strong souls.

Outside, the sun is trying to kill everyone. Inside this small restaurant, it is winter. My breath does not fog, but it is thinking about it. A man near me is eating a cold sandwich while wearing a jacket. In summer. Indoors.

In Japan we would simply turn it down. Americans do not turn it down. And now I understand them better than they understand themselves.

This cold is not an accident. This cold is a gift.

The owner has built, inside his shop, a second season. He invites you in from the brutal heat and hands you the one thing the sun has denied you all day: a reason to be cold. To endure it is to be tempered. You walk in soft and sweating. You walk out sharp and clear, a slightly stronger person than you were.

So I did not complain. I removed my outer layer and offered it to the woman at the next table, who was hugging herself. She said, "Oh, no, I'm fine, thank you." She was not fine. Her lips were blue. But she, too, understood the training. She would not break first. I respected her deeply.

The owner asked if everything was okay.

"It is perfect," I said, through my teeth, which were chattering. "Thank you for the winter."

He said, "...I can turn the AC down if you want?"

I told him no. A man does not ask the mountain to be shorter.

I stayed two hours. I ordered a hot coffee to survive. Then a second one, to hold. By the end I could no longer feel my hands, but my spirit had never been clearer.

So now, on the hottest days, I seek out the coldest rooms. I sit. I shiver. I sharpen.

And when I finally step back out into the summer heat, and it wraps around me like a warm bath, I feel it.

Reborn.

A man who has survived the winter, in August, indoors, for the price of a sandwich.

They took a B-17 that had been left for scrap, rebuilt it by hand, and bolted on so many extra machine guns it became one of the most heavily armed bombers in the Pacific.

Then they volunteered for a solo mission over enemy territory that few crews wanted.

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

USA. A backyard. One man guarding a grill for four hours.

He never left it once.

Everyone else drifted and drank and laughed. But one man stood alone before the flames, turning meat with a long fork, immovable. I knew him at once. The keeper of the sacred fire.

I took my place beside him and said nothing. After a while, he spoke.

"Low and slow," he said, eyes on the coals. "You can't rush it. Rush it, you ruin it."

I bowed my head. A blade, a tea, a life. None can be rushed. I had crossed four thousand miles to hear my grandfather's words from a man in a "KISS THE COOK" apron.

"Everything worth doing is slow," I agreed.

He glanced at me. Something passed between us.

"My wife says just use the oven." He shook his head at the fire. "She doesn't get it."

"They never do," I said.

And this is where it turned.

For the first time in years, this man had been understood. And he rose to meet it. His back straightened. His voice dropped low. A teenager reached for the grill and the man lifted one hand without even looking. "Not yet." The boy retreated. He was becoming what I already believed him to be.

A woman asked when the food would be done. "It's ready when it's ready," he told the flames.

Three people approached. Three were turned away with a single word. By the fourth hour, no one questioned him. The whole party had arranged itself around the man and his fire, the way a village arranges itself around a shrine.

Then he handed me the fork.

"Watch it a sec. I gotta pee."

I have been trusted with castles.

I have never been more honored.

He served everyone before himself, and ate last, standing, still watching the coals. We never traded names. We did not need to.

He believed he had finally met a man who took his cooking seriously.

I believed I had finally met America's last samurai.

Neither of us will ever correct the other.

So tell me, America.

Who is the man at your gathering who will not leave the grill?

Have you ever once asked him why?

I think he is still standing there.

Guarding the fire.

Waiting for one person to understand.
