So apparently the Sikhs in Britain are afraid to leave their houses.

Now they know how white British women have felt for years. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Gulf Shores, Alabama is where the South quietly keeps one of its best beach escapes.

White sand, warm water, seafood shacks, and sunsets that make you wonder why people keep overlooking it.

@gregbagwell It’s 100% contextual. Are you denying Europe is being invaded?

[John Ʌ Konrad V @johnkonrad]

Because you are a former Royal Air Force general, let me put the reason for @PeteHegseth’s D-Day speech in terms you will recognize.

In 2005, Boeing hired James McNerney, a disciple of Jack Welch’s school of cost-cutting, as CEO. He later said, “When people say I changed the culture of Boeing, that was the intent, so that it’s run like a business rather than a great engineering firm.”

The results were catastrophic.

As Eric Ries documented in his book Incorruptible, management focused more and more on financial engineering while the engineers inside Boeing watched one program after another unfold with growing horror. We have their internal records because of the investigations into the 737 MAX crashes.

Engineering raised the alarm. Management’s answer never changed: costs, deadlines, stock price. The number on the slide had become the mission, and the airplane underneath it had become an afterthought.

That is the trap. Stock price was never the product. It was a proxy for the product, a stand-in for whether Boeing built aircraft people could trust their lives to. McNerney optimized the proxy and destroyed the thing it was supposed to measure. Two planes full of families paid for the difference.

One Boeing employee later confessed, “I still haven’t been forgiven by God for the covering up I did last year.” Psychologists call that moral injury: the inner damage a person carries from knowing they did harm by saying nothing.

What does this have to do with DEI, migration, and the agendas being pushed across the EU and UK?

Everything. They run on the same machinery.

A minority arrest rate is not justice. It is a proxy for justice, a stand-in for whether a city is safe and its law applied equally. Starmer’s government optimized the proxy.

Officers who flagged the cost of a pivot to DEI, the victims who came forward, the communities who watched predators walk, all of it was feedback, and all of it was waved off because the statistic was moving in the politically correct direction. The number improved. Justice did not. Just as Boeing’s engineers were told costs, deadlines, stock price, Britain’s police were told the quota, the optics, the politics.

Welch chased ROI. Starmer chases DEI. John Kerry chases CO2. All ignored the people in front of them telling the truth. Both mistook the dashboard for the world.

I too want safe minorities, higher share prices and a cleaner planet. We all do. That is exactly the point. McNerney wanted a higher stock price too. The disaster was not the goal. The disaster was measuring the proxy and calling it the product.

Last year, touring colleges in London, a family friend asked me a version of the question Boeing’s own engineers asked each other before the crashes. Theirs was, “Would you put your family on a MAX simulator-trained aircraft?” The answer was no. Mine was simpler: would I put my daughter on streets policed by a two-tier system, where carrying pepper spray to defend herself is a crime but the men she fears walk free?

Which brings us to Hegseth.

This is not the usual venue for these arguments, and I understand the objection. I endorse his saying it here anyway, because it needs to be said, and because the people who most need to hear it are the ones who have learned to look at the dashboard instead of out the window.

You know the cost of silence better than I do. The veteran who watched Afghan allies rape children on our own bases and was told to stand down, to protect the relationship. They enforced the rules of engagement because those were being measured by you. That man is carrying moral injury for the rest of his life. Some of them did not survive it. Too many witnessed a dual tiered system - US/UK troops held accountable for honest ROE mistakes while Taliban used women and kids as shields - and paid the ultimate price for saying nothing.

This is not the ideal place to bring up politics but is absolutely the right place to prevent further moral injury.

Attempted Trump assassin Thomas Crooks exchanged 2 emails with Butler Sheriff’s Office before President Trump was shot, according to the FBI.

The records are heavily redacted.

The public deserves to know why and when Crooks contacted law enforcement.

🚨 TRUMP JUST BANNED ALL FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF U.S. FARMLAND — CHINA WAS BUYING AMERICA ACRE BY ACRE 🌾🇺🇸
China owned 384,000 ACRES of American farmland. Right next to military bases. Right next to water supplies. Right next to the food that feeds YOUR family.
Bill Gates owned 270,000 acres. Saudi Arabia was buying water rights in Arizona. Foreign corporations were purchasing entire farming communities.
AMERICA'S FOOD SUPPLY was being sold to the highest foreign bidder. And nobody in Washington said a WORD.
Until Trump.
Executive order — effective IMMEDIATELY:
ALL foreign-owned farmland must be SOLD within 24 months. NO new purchases by foreign governments, entities, or their proxies. Land within 100 miles of military installations — SEIZED and returned to American farmers. Bill Gates and all billionaire non-farmers — CAPPED at 1,000 acres maximum. American family farms — given FIRST RIGHT to purchase all divested land at fair market value.
Food is a WEAPON. Water is a WEAPON. Land is SOVEREIGNTY.
You don't let your enemy buy the ground beneath your feet. You don't let foreign nations control what your children EAT.
American land. American farmers. American food. FOREVER. 🇺🇸

Andrew Jackson destroyed the Second Bank of the United States in 1836, delivering the single greatest blow to financial tyranny in American history. You won't hear this story told correctly in any economics textbook, because it reveals how central banking works: as a government-sponsored cartel that redistributes wealth from productive citizens to politically connected bankers.

The Second Bank held a 20-year federal charter starting in 1816. It controlled the money supply, issued currency, and held government deposits. Sound familiar? Nicholas Biddle, the bank's president, wielded more economic power than any elected official. He could trigger financial panics at will by restricting credit. He bought newspapers and bribed congressmen. When Jackson opposed recharter in 1832, Biddle deliberately crashed the economy to punish him.

Jackson called it "a hydra of corruption" and he was right. The bank created artificial booms through credit expansion, then triggered busts when politically convenient. Biddle openly bragged about manipulating markets. Free market economists and Jackson both recognized the core insight: this was legalized counterfeiting with government backing, not free market banking.

The political establishment united against Jackson. Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and the entire Whig Party defended the bank. Biddle spent millions buying influence. The press attacked Jackson as an economic ignoramus. Every "respectable" voice supported recharter. Jackson stood alone with the American people.

After Jackson killed the bank, the country experienced the strongest economic growth in its history. From 1837 to 1862, America operated without a central bank. Industry flourished. Wages rose. Innovation exploded. This wasn't coincidence. When you stop subsidizing financial speculation and let productive capital find its natural home, prosperity follows.

Central banks don't stabilize economies: they destabilize them for private gain.

🚨#BREAKING: A MASSIVE IDENTITY THEFT RING that let nearly 50 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS work using the STOLEN identities of real Americans has just been taken down...

...and the EMPLOYERS WHO DID IT, HAVE BEEN ARRESTED!!!!

The American employers, a plant manager and an HR director were both INDICTED for KNOWINGLY HIRING ILLEGAL ALIENS!!!!

Four more people were indicted for running the operation that made fake Social Security cards, fake driver's licenses, and fake immigration documents...
