TFP is doing a sterling job of radicalisation on me:

Ten Stories We’re Reading

1. Ferguson I don't know what to make of: sound one minute... then bollocks like this.

2. Bill Barr would like to have his cake; but at least realises he can't and eat it too. This penny still has to drop for some of the cretins at TFP.

3. Someone summarise, please. I subscribe to paid content and get burnt too often. Is this Silver geezer gold or rusting iron pyrites?

4. No Andrew; "Not actually a liberal" doesn't mean "not actually golden", but "actually shitter than shit".

5. You don't say: Money trumps politics; whoda thunk? And breaking: Bears still shit in the woods. It is when China asks the same of Apple in the US market, and they comply, that you'd have a problem.

6. FFS. Since when have pols given hard ball interviews?

7. But what does it mean to be truly serious? Slamdunk - to be in the TFP Comments rather than writing for TFP.

8. Read it? I wouldn't even wipe my arse with it. Give over with the free advertising for what isn't even poor bog roll.

9. Hold your horses; Latin America has had these false dawns every generation since Bolivar won.

10. See 8.

On Our Radar

→ Mike Johnson meets the moment: Worrying amount of balls coming from Trump lately; maybe Barr isn't coming around to Donald; but Donald to the likes of Barr. Sad - this is not how you win bigly.

→ Cass report author can’t take public transport: Bollocks: as she says, the groomer on the Clapham omnibus doesn't know her from a hole in the ground.

→ Columbia’s radical chic: 'kin 'ell. In other news TFP still hasn't got the memo that the Pope was Catholic; nevermind the one that he still is.

ICYMI: Nicole Avant. Great stuff; now how about we save the forgivenes 'til AFTER we've offed the fucks, eh?

The videos from these glorified homeless encampments make clear that the hate-Israel mob is made up entirely of gibbering neurotics, misfits, dirtbags, immigrant thugs and other parasitic untouchables. The anti-Zionist cult has always attracted the utter dregs of society, because it’s born out of resentment for the successful and prosperous.

"The Second Cold War is escalating a lot faster than the first. Niall Ferguson on the conflict “being waged by a new Axis against the fundamental values we hold dear: democracy, the rule of law, individual freedom.”

A significant minority of Americans no longer hold dear democracy, the rule of law or individual freedom.

Read and listen to what he has to say Rafael Mangual is telling us what we need to hear. Read his book, Criminal (In)Justice.

The welfare system is at the center of our urban decay and crisis.

Also check out Robert Henderson's book Troubled about the foster carte system:

The Marist inspired progressive element in the United States has exceeded societal tolerance of its agenda.

While the progressive movement has gained substantial power over both public and private institutions, resistance to the critical dogma it is founded on is increasing - American society is tiring being constantly told what is wrong with it and the attempts to hold it responsible for what occurred in the past.

In spite of the efforts of radicals to stoke racial conflict, the reality is that they have been largely unsuccessful - the Marxist ambition of provoking a racial revolt has not succeeded and critical race theory is not being accepted in spite of the indoctrination efforts being made - people of the white race are not accepting that a defect in their genetic makeup prevents them from living in harmony with people of other skin colours.

The progressive campaign to enlist climate change as a weapon to defeat capitalism is also reached its zenith without success - Americans remain more concerned about their economic prospects and standard of living than they do about the effects of climate change.

Skepticism of governance is at an all time high and there is no doubt that a significant portion of the population does not support or trust the progressive dominated Democratic Party.

The overarching question is not whether the Republican Party will be more trustworthy but whether Trump will counter progressive the progressive agenda without adopting yet greater restrictions on

democracy - in essence who is more likely to respect the freedom that is the core of America.

The Marxist agenda is much better defined than that of Trump - its is clear where progressives intend to take the country but there its only conjecture as to where it will be taken under his jurisdiction.

The option is to allow Marxist progressives to continue implementing a shift to a more socialistic/communistic United States or to take the chance that Trump will halt the shift without allowing the country to veer to the fascist inclinations of the far right.

The greatest hazard to America presently is that Trump may be prevented from running by Marxist progressive manipulation of the courts.

If they are successful, the United States will not remain so in the aftermath.

Trump is no saint, but to many Americans he is preferable to the bevy of commissars who are in line behind behind the ailing Biden to further control their lives.

Everyone pay attention. In the next few days, there will either be an article written by Shai Davidai and/or a TFP profile about him.

I am looking forward to it.

“Mike Johnson Meets the Moment”…seriously??? More like a Saturday massacre on all fronts. A recap on that day:

• Another 60 billion for Ukraine to extend the conflict that is already lost. Putin is more powerful than ever and Ukraine is not a member of NATO but 450,000 Ukrainians have been killed and Zelensky has his palatial retirement villa picked out with funds from the US. How many more billions does the military industrial complex need? How many more dead Ukrainians?

• Johnson extends the FISA Warrantless wiretapping of Americans by the Government who needs a 4th Amendment.

• The President can now reauthorize FISA and not have to go through Congress for reauthorization.

• Got a ban on TikTok passed. Now a President has the authority to ban any site he finds objectionable and threaten other websites who get out of line.

Johnson was againts all of these until he got a briefing from intelligence agencies would like to have been a fly on the wall of that meeting. Compromising pictures, threats, bribes???

Does anyone know why the border security bill required a two-thirds vote to pass the House? Was this because Johnson did not bring it to the floor himself?

Yeah, I would pay to watch that debate too. I can’t imagine Applebaum would leave her comfort zone to debate anyone whom she would label as a “fascist.” I happen to disagree with Tucker on his recent populist/isolationist path, but know that he is fearless and scary smart. (But also wrong here IMHO).

I feel like I should comment here as I commented on the Honestly latest episode post originally--if you have not heard Nicole Avant speak, you're really missing something. He words are inspiring, and her story heartfelt, true, and distinctively American. It's a beautiful story.
