After Trump’s courageous immediate response to the attempted assassination, his stock among the American voters must surely rise.
This must surely seal the Presidential race for Trump, even if the Democrats replace Biden with someone compos mentis.
Having said that, were Biden to be replaced by someone such as Michelle Obama, popular —God knows why— among the non-whites who are now the majority of the American population, it is possible that Trump might lose, I suppose, but that really might see an actual civil war develop.
Have we just seen and heard, in those popping shots at the Trump rally, the first shots of the second American Civil War, akin to the shot fired at Fort Sumter, Charleston, South Carolina in 1861, or even that fired by the cruiser Aurora in 1917?

Is anything Liz Truss may think even worth reporting? Her rise to prominence, then —briefly— power came as a result of peculiar and particular political circumstances; and, after all, she only became an MP in the first place on her back.
Were her crazy idea about pension age ever to be implemented, it would cause an electoral, and perhaps actual, rebellion that would make the rise of Reform UK look like the Teddy Bears’ Picnic.

Thick-as-two-short-planks “diversity hire” Lammy is not only a barrister and a member of Lincoln’s Inn (as I was from 1986 until my wrongful and unlawful disbarment in 2016, when I was automatically expelled) but I think now even a Bencher there. He is welcome there; I am not. Could one imagine a more absurd example of where our society has gone wrong?
Reminiscent of the famous WW2 photo from Iwo Jima:
The Trump photo will surely come to be regarded as equally historic.

Quelle surprise…
As Matt Goodwin has predicted, the Starmer-Labour government will crash and burn very quickly. It has no real mandate anyway, despite its Commons majority. Only 33.7% of the popular vote. People wanted rid of the fake “Conservatives”, that’s all. Few really wanted Starmer-Labour. Don’t forget that Sunak’s “Conservatives” also had a large Commons majority.
How is it that a Zionist Jew such as Aaronovitch can post that, and nothing happens, but a comment or cartoon about Jewish behaviour, allegedly posted by an English blogger, causes the suborned UK police and/or CPS to go mad?
Oh…
I refer readers to the posts re. my free speech trial of 2023.
Quite.
Of course, both Biden and Trump kow-tow to the Israel lobby, but at least Trump would or will avoid war with Russia and, I hope, take away Zelensky’s ricebowl.

The Labour hegemony in the younger age-groups (highest in the 25-34 age-group— 46%) will not last. The wider 18-44 group —where Labour support was, at GE 2024, over 40%— will soon defect or fall away when Labour fails to improve the housing crisis, or improve the poor deal renters get in the UK, among other issues.
Farage
I see that the little world of UK Twitter/X is going mad because Farage is going to visit Trump. According to those Twitter-twits, Farage is neglecting his duties as MP and, in particular, neglecting the constituents of Clacton by briefly going to the USA. They obviously have no idea that a great many MPs either do nothing at all for their (notional) constituents, or send pro-forma letters back to them, explaining why they can do little or nothing. There are exceptions, but those are exceptions to the general rule of uselessness.

I think so. Of course, it is a gamble, but one at reasonable odds.
Meanwhile, poor old Biden has decided to cancel his engagement tomorrow in Texas…

Thank you for “introducing” me to Eli! She is a lovely girl.

After reading what the hateful bastards of CNN said about Trump, I say: The staff of ALL American and European newspapers, magazines, radio and TV stations deserve to be sentenced to hard labour FOR LIFE! They are hypocritical pieces of … who want ALL of us dead while talking about “compassion”, “tolerance” and “human rights” (only for them and their friends, of course!)
PS: Initially I thought they should receive the same treatment that millions of Russians received from Stalin´s NKVD, but then I thought “No, is too quick and nice for them”

Bob Blackman MP, who signed the “hindu manifesto” to make it easier for Indians to immigrate to Britain, has been elected Chairman of the 1922 Committee by the remaining Tory MPs.
Looks like the Tories are doubling down on open borders.
Blackman is a proud member of the Conservative Friends of Israel (what a surprise).
Blackman also cheated on his wife for 11 years, having an extramarital affair with a fellow councillor when he was on Brent council. This was revealed in 2012.
Since he betrayed his own wife, it’s no surprise that he’s also a traitor to his country.

Friend of Britain:
The fake “Conservatives” are really no different to fake “Labour” now. In fact, there has been little difference for 30+ years, except in terms of presentation and peripheral domestic policy here and there.
Both parties are full of NWO/ZOG persons. Look at ex-Con MP Nick Boles and ex-Lab MP Ed Balls. Both Bilderberg attendees in the past. Both pro-immigration. Both want the countryside built on. Boles is now pro Starmer-Labour, while Balls is coining as much money as possible and presenting a “centrist” podcast.

Exactly. The last Tory leader to have in any real way socially conservative Tory convictions was Margaret Thatcher which was one of the main reasons the Left hated her so much. Maggie was also the last Tory leader who easily won elections without resorting to once in forty years referendums on the EU like Cameron.
Since then they have been ‘led’ by weak, globalist liberal-left , uninspiring idiots like John Major and Cameron. No wonder they have declined so much and if they don’t rectify this very soon they will disappear entirely.

Vile anti-British bastard. A typical ‘Tory’ nowadays. The fake Conservatives just don’t get it. Unless they move rapidly and genuinely to the national-conservative/nationalist/traditionally conservative/socially conservative ‘Right’ they will be a dead party. The recent election was a huge warning to them. Why would any liberal-left globalist vote ‘Tory’ when they can vote Labour, Lib Dem, Green, or abstain instead? The original is always better than the copy in politics. Why did 14% of the electorate vote Reform UK? Do the politically stupid fake Conservatives think that vote share came from nowhere?

This government does indeed have no real mandate to govern. Considering how incompetent, corrupt, unlistening to the Tory base and deaf to the people’s real concerns and just plain old useless the previous administration was they should have ‘won’ the election with a higher vote share than that.
Everytime Starmer or a Labour government minister/MP speaks in public someone should hold a placard up with the words: 33.8% of the national vote equals NO REAL MANDATE TO GOVERN.
