Hi Mark -
President Trump would be perfectly justified in re-federalizing DC, but unilateral executive action plays right into the hands of the Dems who claim he is an autocrat. An excellent way to forestall this response would be for Congress to get involved. Why do you think they are silent?
The sissy Republicans, whose lives and those of their families in DC are threatened on a daily basis, continue to sit on their pansy hands with this and nearly all other issues, happy to let Trump take the flak. Sad is the day when there is no longer a Trump to do the electorate's bidding and Uniparty wankery resumes its permanent summer break.

Hi Mark,
President Trump has announced a LA-2028 Olympics Task Force executive order to, I presume, oversee sporting event security. I suspect there's more to this EO than meets the eye and would like to hear your thoughts on the possibilities.
Thanks,

Hello Mark,
The Russia Hoax is finally seeing the light of day. Apparently a grand jury is to be paneled in Florida. However, unless the trials will be held in Dead Moose Junction, the odds of a D.C. jury finding any of the perpetrators guilty is low.
If the Republicans wish a full airing of the scandal they should immediately move to impeachment proceedings for Obama, Biden, Hillary and any others involved that held office during the hoax.
Unlike criminal trials that would be held behind closed doors and hampered by rules of evidence and subject to objections and appeals, impeachment is a political process. The peril for the defendants would be symbolic as the defendants would not likely seek to hold any office in the future.
Impeachment would force the mainstream media including CNN and MSNBC to cover the details. The question is whether the Republicans have the fortitude to do anything more than parrot the evidence and accusations within the friendly confines of Fox News.

When the migrant problem in Britain is discussed, there is from time to time the comeback that this is somehow the wages of past colonial sins. What do you think of this?
For instance, there is a line of historical criticism that accuses Britain of hampering India's economic development, turning it into an extractive colony to the detriment of its peoples. The responsibility for periodic famines in India has been laid at London's doorstep. I think that the association between the two issues is a non sequitur, but what think you of all this? ....

We used to have Disraeli, Palmerston, Gladstone and, in the United States, Lincoln. Now we get Starmer and Angela Rayner. I can do a really good impersonation of Angela Rayner, but you'll have to take my word for that.

Hope you are feeling just as fit as a fiddle as is feasible. So I don't know if you happened to catch that Michael Mann said this recently, quoted in Inside Clime News:
"Not since Stalin and Soviet Lysenkoism have we seen such a brazen effort to misrepresent science in service of an ideological agenda."
Mann's referencing the admin's refusal to accept "the consensus", defunding programs, and stopped measurement collection.
Question: did something recent happen at your nearby Wegman's market that put him in a foul mood? Did he get another mean look? Maybe he was disappointed that Fancy Feast is no longer on sale? Or did he get one of those carts with a bum wheel? Inquiring minds need to know.

Mark,
I hope you are well.
In that rare beast that is a court case in the British legal system following a diversity stabbing, Amar Jabar, an illegal invader from Iraq was sentenced.
Lucy Connolly got 31 months in chokey for a social media post deleted within 3 hours.
Amar Jabar, stabbed someone 4 times and got precisely, you guessed it, zero jail time.
Apparently, the judge felt he would be better rehabilitated in the community.
It is no surprise that the more injustices like this occur and the number of hotels housing illegal invaders grow, the closer we get to mass civil disobedience.
Do you believe as I do, that we are rapidly approaching the denouement when we will have to pick a side and get ready to fight?
Keep well Mark.

Hey Mark, that picture from yesterday's column caused an involuntary gag reaction from me. You need a censor to put a black line over the flabby contents of the pink thong. No civilized members of society should be subjected to such a view. What has been seen cannot be unseen. We're all scarred for life.
Perhaps Sir Keir Starmer or one of his ilk, like a member of His Majesty's Constabulary, might be interested in a side gig with you censoring the photos on your webpage. All they would need is the electronic equivalent of a Sharpie and their genetic censorial urges would do the rest. Either way it would keep them away from actual law enforcement, which they appear to want little to do with. All they seem capable of doing is policing the behavior and free speech of law abiding citizens.
I work in law enforcement here in the US and I find their nonfeasance appalling. If they swear an oath of office, as do law enforcement officers across jurisdictions in the United States, I find it hard to believe that they are not routinely violating it when they appear to ignore criminal conduct. They'd be the perfect cops for another movie version of 1984. "Crime? What crime? I didn't see any crime except your Facebook post." How is it that they continue to get away with harassing law abiding citizens and ignoring actual criminal behavior? Are there no systemic checks and balances in the UK that will allow them to be held to account? By the way, not making comparisons to law enforcement here in the US because we certainly have our problems, but I don't think we're quite yet in the business of ignoring rapes by favored groups committed on disfavored groups and then creating pseudo crimes when the disfavored groups complain.

According to your link to Daniel Jupp's "Starmer's Two Steps to Dictatorship" piece, is everything riding now on this petition to repeal The Online Safety Act?
Is there no other recourse for the good people of the UK to snatch their freedoms of expression and protest back from Starmer's dictatorial way of leadership? If repealed will Ofcom be in any way kneecapped going forward? God save the good people of the UK.

The evil acts of Police Constable Hassan Ali in South Yorkshire and other UK government officials are painful to hear about and hard to accept.
There is a religion supporting the invasion that benefits from these government policies.
Yet I am not aware of a competing religious opposition to this government-protected child-rape and murder.
I have the impression that in the UK—as in North America—major Protestant and Roman Catholic institutions are weak or woke or worse.
With Calvin Robinson now in the US, is there any remaining vigor among Christians in the UK that might provide the necessary "manly firmness" to oppose the evil acts of the government?

Hello Mark
I hope this finds you well.
In a nutshell, I'm commenting on the trial of Mohammed Fahir Amaaz and his brother, Muhammad Amaad for a fight that broke out with the Police at Manchester airport.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think there is an 'elephant in the room' that hasn't been addressed by the MSM? That is, had their mother waited until they got home to complain about what Abdulkareem Hamzah Abbas Ismaeil had said to her, none of this would have happened? She's their mother and would have known how they would react.
Kind regards,

I struggle to understand, in the profounder sense of that word, English men, English fathers. I see the mothers at least trying to protest these galling events — but the men? Why are they not organizing themselves into groups and, along with their cricket bats, patrolling the lanes of their towns frequently used by their children? Why are they not prohibiting and punishing? This lack of civic action is so very absurd that I might be angrier at them than the I am at the useless bobbies.

With the fake Indian back in the news (fighting for mommas and Da Babies! don'tcha know) we should remember that one of her very first acts as a US Senator was to propose that the US government seize control of all federal thrift plans (the savings accounts of US employees) and both administer and disburse funds as the government saw fit.
In plainer terms you would have had people just like our TSA boys and girls in blue demonstrating their financial wizardry with untold billions of life savings of countless people.

Hi Mark,
Please give your thoughts on when (and if) the gibbets will finally go up, in the US and/or in England. There is a fair amount of speculation these days on the "inevitable" civil war. Kurt Schlichter (maybe one of the "butch boys" in your opinion?) recently wrote a short novel imagining the course of a US civil war sparked by the assassination of Trump/Vance, and so is not set in the distant future at all but in our current decade.
The only thing we can be sure of is that if something like a civil war happens, it will not go the way anyone expects. Nevertheless, how do you think it will go? Will Americans or Englishmen ever regain sufficient turbulence to throw off the shackles? Or has the soma of the meaningless modern life of ease had an irreversible effect?
I hope the sacrifices you have made to wake people up will not have been in vain.
