No, London Bridge is NOT Falling...

It fell a long time ago!

It is shocking how many people are just waking up to the Islamic takeover of the West! (It seems many of you were too busy calling us "Islamophobes" over the past decade)

In London this weekend, armies of Muslims have once again taken to the streets to show their support for the Muslims who slaughtered Israelis and are hunting Jews.

As I reported previously, without firing a shot, British cities and boroughs have been conquered! Their future is an Islamic one...the total population is listed on the left, with the Islamic percentage in parentheses:

Birmingham, population 1,149,000: (29.9%)
Leeds, 792,000: (7.8%)
Sheffield: 584,000: (10.3%)
Bradford: 536,000 (30.5%)
Manchester: 553,000 (22.3%)
Bristol: 467,000 (6.7%)
Cardiff: 357,000 (9.3%)
Leicester: 357,000 (23.5%)
Nottingham: 331,000 (12.2%)
Newcastle: 315,000 (10.3%)
Blackburn with Darwen: 148,000 (35%)
Fenland: 101,000 (12.2 %)
Luton: 218,000 (32.9%)
Slough: 164,000 (29.4% )
Watford: 96,000 (13%)
Pendle: 91,000 (26%)
Oldham: 237,000 (24.3%)
Rochdale: 211,000 (18.8%)
Kirklees: 438,000 (19%)
Barking and Dagenham: 211,000 (24.4%)
Brent: 331,000 (21.4%)
Newham: 352,000 (34.8%)
Redbridge: 303,000 (31.3%)
Tower Hamlets: 319,000 (39.9%)
Westminster: 261,000 (20%)

Now let us imagine these cities in 10, 20, 30 years.

Stanford/Silicon Valley/Leftwing Politics Intersectionality

The House Judiciary Committee just revealed how the Department of Homeland Security worked with Stanford University to form a “disinformation group.” Their agenda was to monitor and suppress unwelcome news during the 2020 election cycle. This so-called “Election Integrity Partnership”—how ironic a name—partnered with Stanford’s Internet Observatory to prep the election news cycle for Joe Biden.

Takeaways:

More evidence that the Left has perverted academia, government bureaucracies, and Big Tech to sabotage a free media.

And still more evidence that a once great Stanford University continues in free fall—after the Stanford lecturer Ameer Hasan Loggins’s in-class, anti-Semitic harassment of Jewish students; the four-day hiatus before the university could condemn the Hamas massacre; the climate of fear for Jewish students on campus; the Stanford Law School/Judge Duncan fiasco; the recent leveraged resignation of president Marc Tessier-Lavigne; the Bankman-Fried Stanford law professors’ connections to their convicted felon son’s cash transfers from his historic Ponzi scheme; the Theranos debacle; and the “Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative” embarrassment, etc.

Six months ago I wrote a warning about the increasing power of the Bay Area triad of Silicon Valley, Stanford University, and Bay Area politicians—and cited their efforts to undermine freedom of expression.

[National Review @NRO]

The frivolousness and arrogance of the Republican Party is unforgivable.

The economy is a mess. Our fiscal situation is a disaster. The debt is spiraling out of control, with no plan to fix it.

Entitlement spending has not been fixed — or even addressed.

The border is open. The world is on fire. Antisemitism is on the rise.

The Democratic Party, the media, academia, and much of corporate America are all in thrall to a terribly divisive ideology that threatens the country’s foundational ideas.

And the GOP is still indulging Donald Trump, an unhinged perennial loser who is crowding out all of the political figures who actually want to do something to fix it. | @charlescwcooke

The Legal Circus of Letitia James

Letitia James’s farcical prosecution of Donald Trump might win a conviction, given the known temperament and biases of the partisan presiding judge Arthur Engoron. And things are now escalating well beyond the facts of the indictment for purportedly overvaluing real estate assets—an alleged “crime” that had apparently never been prosecuted in New York’s dog-eat-dog real-estate world.

The unprecedented nature of the alleged crime is nothing compared to James’s choice of defendant — not just the current leading contender for the Republican presidential nomination, but also an ex-president polling increasingly ahead of incumbent president (and James’s and Engoron’s fellow Democrat) Joe Biden.

Old, resurfacing videos of James’s now well-documented long vendettas and rants against Donald Trump, her own confirmation of Trump’s charges of her racism (she once smeared the Trump administration “as too pale, too male and too stale”), the judge’s gag orders, the new polls, the simultaneous efforts of state lawsuits to take Trump off the ballot—all add up to a judicial absurdity unprecedented in U.S. history that is beginning to convince the majority of Americans of an extra-legal attempt to warp an American election.

Judge Engoron is in a similar fix.

He is slowly creating an O.J.-like courtroom farce. The more Trump and his team understandably conduct the defense as aloud—and successful—political statement, the more transparently partisan an exasperated Engoron appears. His gag orders may well be unconstitutional and thus are for now largely ignored by Trump, putting Engoron in an even more embarrassing dilemma.

Will he jail Trump for violating his likely-to-be-successfully-appealed order. That is, will he try to put an ex-president and possible future presidential candidate of the opposing party behind bars in an election year for decrying an obvious politicized miscarriage of justice—and thus only end up empowering Trump?

Or in his doom-loop will he not fully enforce his own orders, and instead seek to disguise his mounting impotence by more desk-pounding, sermonizing, grimaces, and snideness?

We’ve seen nothing quite like this judicial mess in recent American history.

Nikki Haley wins yet another debate. Calm, cool, collected and forceful when she needed to be. Most importantly, love her moral clarity in closing. “We have to know the difference between good and evil. We have to know the difference between right and wrong. We need to know that a strong america doesn’t start wars. A strong America prevents wars. “ @NikkiHaley #debate

The Incredible Lightness of Barack Obama

Joe Biden is caught in a quadfecta of corruption, cognitive decline, a failed agenda, and eroding polls. Amid this apparent vacuum, an opportunistic Barack Obama — who used to be more discreet in managing his third term—is reentering the arena.

Last week, he came out as the overseer of the Biden administration’s AI agenda, even as his foundation’s “Democracy Forum” was warning Americans about the need for “inclusive capitalism” and the pathologies of “material consumption”—all this from a multi-mansioned multimillionaire.

Now, Obama is weighing in on the Gaza war by undercutting his third-term presidential proxy.

Yet just as he seems somewhat clueless about the contradictions of an erstwhile “community organizer” turned into a hyper-capitalist, consumption-addicted elite, so too Obama has little self-awareness about how much of Biden’s unpopularity derives from his continuation of Obama’s own agendas on the economy, border, crime, race, foreign policy, and energy.

His apparent obliviousness continues with his most recent odd assertion that, “The occupation and what’s happening to Palestinians is [sic] unbearable.”

But Obama surely concedes that Gaza has been autonomous and free of Israelis since 2005, and governed by a “one man, one vote, once” Hamas clique since January 2006.

Obama added that, “If you want to solve the problem, then you have to take in the whole truth, and you then have to admit nobody’s hands are clean – that all of us are complicit to some degree.”

In truth, Obama’s blanket accusation is absurd.

Over the last 17 years, an autonomous Hamas has managed to create both a hierarchy of billionaires ensconced in luxury Qatari hotels, and the most sophisticated subterranean tunnel city in the world—but little else except corruption, poverty, and violence for all concerned.

Obama again seemed unaware of his own confession when he lectured, “nobody’s hands are clean” and “all of us are complicit”.

Not quite, Barack.

Those most culpable for the current catastrophe are Obama and his team, who invited in Robert Malley to be their point man on Hamas; cooked up the “Shiite crescent” misadventure; snubbed the grass-roots Green Movement that sought to overthrow the Iranian theocracy; invited the Russians back into the Middle East after a 40-year hiatus; fled Iraq and fueled the ISIS caliphate; lifted sanctions on Iran, giving it a multibillion-dollar war chest that armed to the teeth Hezbollah and Hamas; estranged the U.S. from Israel; and created the media echo chamber that empowered the disastrous Iran Deal.

The rest was history.

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

There are too many people, especially among the intelligentsia, who will never appreciate the things that have made this country great until after those things have been destroyed — with their help. Then, of course, it will be too late.
