The "anti-war" brigade in America are not anti-war. They are anti US war on IRGC. They are fine with the IRGC war on the US.
Refusing to defend yourself against an active enemy is retarded.
Luckily, Trump gets this.

I was usually the ONLY WOMAN in my convoy in Afghanistan. Not only was I a military police team leader, I was the one who searched the Afghan women.
Those women told me things their husbands never would. They also told me things they wouldn't tell their husbands. They let me hold their babies and talk to their kids. These women had NO voice in that country. No rights. They were men's property.
40 months in a Muslim country taught me this: Sharia doesn't "coexist." It TAKES. And here in the USA, it will take from women FIRST.
Ladies, it starts with your voice. DO NOT hand it over. It wasn't very long ago at all that we fought for and WON our freedom here in America. We owe it to our daughters not to go backwards. 🇺🇸🪖

I trust @ucl you will be taking action against your employee who punched & tried to strangle @YoungBobRB outside your university. He's the gentlemen in the right hand picture.
He needs to be dealt with.

Still tens of thousands of people needing housing and welfare. Not being as high as once was is not the same as being low.

Back on votes for 16 yesterday - inevitably, schools and teachers are being dragged in to 'help' 16 year olds make informed decisions when the law changes and they can vote. But herein lies a danger of politicising education - party politics could turn citizenship lessons into propaganda, resulting in toxic rows. And I am not convinced it won't compromise teacher impartiality. Just imagine which parties will be smeared. The minister interrupted me half way saying that the law already says schools need to be impartial. I reminded her that the Department for Education was only recently forced to clamp down on sectarian, pro-Gaza teachers.

I’m not joking! … Yesterday the UK Government started the process, exactly as I warned you it would.
Straight from the UN and into U.K. legislation, to turn nature into a financial asset class that makes huge returns for investors.
Forests, rivers, soil, biodiversity,… will all be measured, certified, packaged and sold as investment products.. to banks corporations and institutional investors.
And the Government will force regulation and make taxpayers create the demand.
The UN calls it “natural capital”. I call it theft of earths produce

It’s not that there isn’t something admirable about a Western democracy where the son of an Egyptian immigrant can rise to the most exclusive club in politics. That is the American promise, after all. But the liberals sent into raptures by the election of Abdul El-Sayed as senator for Michigan are overlooking the nature of this particular son of an immigrant and the danger he poses.
This week, the 42-year-old former public health official defeated the Republican Mike Rogers to become the first Muslim ever elected to the United States Senate. “Michigan, we did it,” El-Sayed told a baying crowd of supporters.
He then switched into Arabic, turning his victory rally into a race-baiting, religious call-and-response for the purposes of taunting his opponents. “Inshallah”, God willing, had become “Alhamdulillah”, praise be to God, he crowed, and the crowd chanted it with him.
If there is a more literal example of political Islam, I have yet to see it. Thus were faith and politics blended as momentum for a jihadi agenda; later in the speech, El-Sayed claimed that Michigan’s taxes should not fund “apartheid or genocide”, conjuring the most pernicious falsehoods of our times, designed to damage Israel’s means of self-defence, with an aura of liberal righteousness.
To a British onlooker, the scene was horribly familiar. In 2024, the newly-elected Green councillor Mothin Ali celebrated in Leeds by shouting: “We will raise the voice of Gaza. We will raise the voice of Palestine. Allahu Akbar!”
At the time, his fanaticism was matched only by his hubris: how was a local councillor going to free Palestine? But now Ali is now deputy leader of the Green Party and the government has started aping its ideological stances to shore up its left flank.
These are signposts that point very clearly to the truth: this is Islamism on a mission, packaged within a revolutionary radicalism intended for an audience of ideologues and idiots. Asked in May whether he believed in Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state, El-Sayed replied: “I often struggle with the question.”
Nobody thought to ask him whether Pakistan – founded at the same time as Israel but with millions of deaths and refugees – has the right to exist as an Islamic republic. But then, the world is not engaged in a campaign of delegitimisation of Pakistan on behalf of the forces of jihad, which is the movement in which El-Sayed’s victory must be seen.
It’s not like he’s ever been shy about it. On Oct 21, 2023, El-Sayed took to X to denounce “the genocide being perpetrated against innocent Palestinians”. Israeli troops would not enter Gaza for another six days, but this was never about the truth. Which brings us to a disturbing story written on the morning of Oct 7 by El-Sayed’s half-sister, a professor at the University of Chicago...

Small boat migrants are at a 5 year record high
Because every year, you add new ones to the previous year's
The year's worth of boat migrants do not vanish at midnight on New Year's Eve
So a record high - and still rising.

Heinous case of which we have not heard the last.
‘It’s VERY rare that crimes against white people are treated as hate crimes. It’s a real blind spot in the British state.’

Get these men and their fetishes away from children.
I spoke to several parents who’d encountered this teacher as part of my recent Telegraph investigation. I think his photo may have done the rounds on X before.
He identified as ‘non-binary’, I'm told - and pupils were instructed to address him as 'Mx.' Parents said he ran a lunchtime LGBT club for primary school pupils.
“We all call him the man in the dress,” one pupil told a mother.
I don’t think this is an appropriate way for a male primary school teacher to present himself at work.
And if parents have questions about what’s happening at their child’s school, they should feel able to ask them. The parents I spoke to were afraid to do even that.

Sending all my love and strength to the Nowak family today. They know I am backing them all the way in this fight.
Disgusted that this vile murderer has the arrogance and audacity to claim his sentence of 21 years is "too harsh."
He abused his 'religion' to carry a lethal dagger to use it as a weapon, filmed and taunted Henry as he lay dying, and lied so shamelessly that police handcuffed a dying boy instead of saving him.
To watch him (and his complicit family) try to exploit the system for leniency is utterly sickening.
The Attorney General is right to demand his sentence be increased.
21 years is a disgrace for this level of calculated depravity.
No god, no religion, no skin colour, or culture can change the fact that this is an evil monster who has no place in our society.

🚨 The government has just introduced a bill called the Energy Independence Bill whose main job is to make it illegal to hand out new licences to drill for oil and gas in the North Sea…
This is the same week the Prime Minister is talking about easing the cost of living crisis, with fuel prices up nearly 30% in a year, inflation at 3.5%, and the Bank of England raising rates to 4% today for the first time in three years
And while saying it expects inflation to hit 5% by the middle of next year, with energy the main reason
UK businesses already pay about 45% more for energy than the G7 average
Existing fields can keep going for now, but as they run down no new licences means less and less of our own, and while new drilling would not take money off anyone’s bill tomorrow because oil and gas sell at world prices and new fields take years
Every barrel and every bit of gas we don’t produce here still gets bought from somewhere else and the tax, the jobs and the security go with it
They’ve called it the Energy Independence Bill while the actual plan is to produce less here and buy more from other countries
Only in Britain would you name a bill after the exact thing it makes harder.

When I first raised Poundland last week, I was told by Westminster talking heads and the Tories that it was certainly “kaput” and the 12,000 jobs must all inevitably go. Some leaned in, arguing the “creative destruction” would be good.
Others made a stupid straw man argument that I was proposing to nationalise it. As if you can’t even question bosses when so much is at stake.
They showed scant interest in the workers, suppliers or frankly the taxpayer.
My point was, and remains, why should a business be put into administration when there appears to be multiple offers to buy it as a going concern on the table?
That doesn’t seem to be in the best interest of the taxpayer, the workers or the suppliers. The taxpayer alone stands to lose hundreds of millions if this business needlessly goes under with unpaid taxes and benefits.
And since I made this argument, we’ve learnt of more potential offers. There has been another in the last 24 hours. As of today, there appear to be at least three bidders - maybe four. I can’t opine on their credibility, but it doesn’t suggest Poundland is “kaput”.
Gordon Brothers haven’t responded to my letter. They need to account for their actions. I’m pleased my intervention has promoted others to enter the fray, in government and in parliament.
A government that cares about working people asks searching questions in these situations. It doesn’t throw workers to the wolves. That’s not anti-business, contrary to what some out of touch ideologues say.
You can bet they would take a different view if it was a different type of business to Poundland. The employees of firms like this are to them, as a former Prime Minister once said to me when I was arguing over a similar point, “just fungible low wage workers”.
Reform UK is the party of working people. We’ll unashamedly stand up for them. To defend free markets, you sometimes have to expose their excesses.
Let’s hope raising this can save as many jobs as possible at Poundland this Christmas.
