United Kingdom Prime Minister Liz Truss resigned Thursday after less than two months in office amid pressure following a reversal of economic policies that led to economic instability. Truss made the announcement a day after she defiantly declared that she is "a fighter and not a quitter." Ultimately, however, she said that circumstances have changed. "Given the situation, I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party," Truss said. “I have therefore spoken to His Majesty the King to notify him that I am resigning as leader of the Conservative Party."

A laughable error of pisspoor woke voting to ensure affirmative action. Kamala Harris needs to pay close attention.

Completely ridiculous. You FIGHT for the agenda you ran on! I guess she thought she'd decree it and the people would all rejoice. At the first sign of resistance and complaint, she caved. Very disappointing.

Prime example of why I don't make kneejerk leaps declaring this-or-that political figure should be immediately elevated as the next superstar. I fully admit to hoping that the spark of strength and genuineness indicates a solid and true leader...but have been disappointed and disgusted too many times by them. I could name many, but off the top of my head I think of Pence, Noem, Haley, Barr. Best to watch how these shining new stars actually handle the tasks that face them before putting all my hopes in their basket. So much for the next Margaret Thatcher.

She was completely unqualified for the position to begin with therefore no surprise this has happened other than being so quick. UK is the canary in the mine and this bodes ill for the West. Specifically in terms of the West's ability to weather what is ahead. Europe has shot itself in the head by supporting a Nazi regime in Ukraine and cutting off its energy supply. This was a major reason (2 yr energy cap) Truss' budget went nowhere (yes tax cuts for the wealthy was a primary contender too), Pay attention and Prepare for things can quickly get worse everywhere.

Some 'nameless' person while a ton of influence 'cleared their throat' and Truss was gone. Actually, it was likely a group of people that hold much of Britain's debt and they are 'protecting their investment'. It will be interesting to see who runs Britain next because they will 'represent' this group of people. It can happen here in the United States. Maybe it already has. Biden is nothing more than a front man. Now who represents this group's interest in the United States? Top five in US line of succession are Harris, Pelosi, Leahy, Blinken, and Yellen. I would put my money on Yellen. Runs the department of Treasury and was Chairman of the Fed. This is all about money, and these people are running scared fearing they are about to lose their collective shirts. Maybe they have reason to be scared considering how much debt has been racked up. How much deeper can we go into debt before we default? Btw, doubt this is Soros or Gates or even China. These people have been loaning money to the west for a long time. Soros and Gates are small players in comparison. China is a newcomer in this game.

It's not just Great Britain. The entire world is careening toward a horrendous financial crash, and there are NO competent leaders anywhere in sight. Even worse, the complete lack of traditional values and principles in the populations of the previously stable countries pretty much guarantees 2 specific outcomes: (1) that any measures taken to correct matters will be focused on short-term fixes to appease the unsatisfiable and that make long-term conditions even worse, and (2), when the unraveling begins, there will be chaos, open criminality, and widespread warfare across the globe. The people alive today have lived through the Golden Age of the Human Race. Stability. Order, Plenty. Comfort. And essentially, they abandoned the behaviors, principles, and governing practices that brought the human race to such a stage. Now the consequences are about to hit on a global scale.

#4 makes an excellent point. #1 perhaps does not understand that parliamentary systems do not involve direct public voting for party leadership or Prime Minister. Truss and her cabinet came to a disagreement mainly over fiscal policies. As such she resigned rather than be cashiered. At least she’ll go down in history as the last PM in the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.

#9 It is a shame that pointing out the Ukrainian Government (distinctly different from the vast majority of Ukrainians) is tied to the ideology of Stepan Bander and the Ukrainian Army is overrun by those that identify with the Azov, is considered by so many as propaganda. Cutting off the oil and gas from Russia is really impacting all Western Countries (with the hardest hit to date being those in Europe) and Truss in her mini-budget called for a 2-year lock (unfunded) to cap energy prices. So the elite of Europe and the US do not like Putin or Russia and are happy to destroy the lives and futures of their citizens to the above-mentioned government of Ukraine. So no, I am not parroting Russian propaganda and as the world races to a global war, yes I believe the stupidity of what these leaders are doing should be called out.

Re #15. Yes, I've seen the pathetic claims about Azov brigade. Very small group and apparently created by a Jewish guy. Doesn't sound nazi to me. But one ridiculous, evidence free claim, founded in Russian propaganda, sucks a lot of gullible people into believing that baloney. Once again I ask...have you ever met even one Ukrainian? Ever been there? I did business with them for many years. I've hosted some in the USA, staying in my home. I know many top scientists and engineers in Ukraine, and they have been doing all they can fighting the government corruption, which was funded by Moscow to keep Ukraine financially weak and dependent. After they tossed out the last Moscow puppet President of Ukraine, Yanukovych, Putin has gotten more desperate, inventing this nazi BS as his excuse for invading, after his puppets were tossed out.

Several former border officials vowed to release the number of illegal migrant crossings into the U.S. by Tuesday if the Biden administration hasn't by then. Former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli, acting Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan and acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Tom Homan accused the Biden administration of hiding the number of illegal southwestern border crossings in September. The Trump-era officials pointed out that DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus are required to release the numbers weekly and that if the numbers are not published by Tuesday, the former officials will do it themselves.

In the dog days of summer, as President Joe Biden’s average approval rating plummeted to historic lows amid an intense flurry of national setbacks, policy blunders and rhetorical “gaffes” (otherwise known as palpable senility), most in the punditry class began to predict an imminent “red wave” of Republican electoral dominance in November’s midterm elections. The midterms that take place two years after a new presidency typically favor the opposition party, after all, and certain data — such as the four-decade-high inflation rate that was, and still is, raging like wildfire — pointed in the direction of a strong ballot-box backlash to one-party Democratic rule.
GOP fires warning shot at IRS: Destruction

Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee asked the IRS this week to keep all documents related to its 2021 decision to destroy millions of taxpayer filings, and indicated a deeper congressional inquiry is coming if Republicans take control of the House. During the first few months of the Biden administration, the IRS destroyed 30 million paper-filed "information returns," which must be filed by small business and others to inform the IRS of various transactions. The IRS claimed that "software limitations" prevented it from processing those returns, and a decision was made to destroy them. The IRS insisted that no taxpayers would be penalized

The candidates for the Oregon governorship are Democrat Tina Kotek, Republican Christine Drazan and independent Betsy Johnson. Following a question about the need for funding law enforcement to combat crime, Kotek was the first to respond. "When people call 911, they need to feel safe and have the right response at the right time. I've always supported our state police," Kotek said. The Democrat continued, asserting that she has always been a supporter of the police and law enforcement. "And we do need more officers.

The Republicans are edging closer to a wave election. They are finally connecting with voters on the issues they care most about – inflation, crime and immigration – while Democrats are essentially fighting a shadow midterm on issues voters care less about. Americans aren’t necessarily acting out of partisanship; they’re venting their frustration with the poor economic fundamentals and the threatened recession. In the summer there was lot of speculation that the incumbent party could defy midterms history and escape a big loss, and I was puzzled by the large segment of Democratic voters who disapproved of President Joe Biden and yet

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dismissed a reporter's question on Wednesday about whether President Biden wants more migrants to come to his home state of Delaware amid a historic surge in encounters at the southern border. "Does President Biden want more migrants to come to Delaware?" a reporter asked Jean-Pierre at the White House. "I don't even understand that question. I will move on," the press secretary replied. The exchange came after Jean-Pierre criticized governors in border states for bussing thousands of migrants to New York City, Chicago and Washington, D.C.

President Biden appeared taken aback Wednesday at multiple reporters suggesting that his tapping into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) was politically motivated with the midterms three weeks away. Biden announced the release of 15 million more barrels of oil from the emergency reserve, saying it would lower gas prices and bolster domestic oil production. As he concluded his remarks at the White House, a reporter shouted out at him, leading him to sarcastically ask her to "speak louder." "What is your response to Republicans who say you are only doing this SPR release to help Democrats in the midterms?" the reporter asked. "Where have they been the last four months?

Journalists and other left-wing activists are freaking out over a New York Times poll that shows Republicans leading Democrats by 4 percentage points among likely voters ahead of next month's midterm elections. They were particularly aggrieved by the poll's finding that Republicans were tied with Democrats at 47 percent among female voters and were supported by 34 percent of Hispanic voters and 18 percent of black voters. Those are terrible numbers for Democrats. We don't know how the election is going to play out, but at least one thing is guaranteed: If Democrats lose, they are going to blame everyone but themselves for the outcome.

The charges had been brought by Special Counsel John Durham, who is investigating the origins of the FBI's original Trump-Russia investigation. The Danchenko trial is the second out of Durham's years-long investigation, and the second time a jury delivered an acquittal. Former Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann was found not guilty of making false statements to the FBI in June.

Bennie Thompson, Democrat of Mississippi, and Vice Chair Rep. Liz Cheney, Republican of Wyoming, issued the subpoena to Trump in a letter eight days after the panel's unanimous vote to do so, at the end of what was likely the committee's final hearing. The committee demands that the former president submit documentary material by Nov. 4, which would be followed by "one or more days" of his deposition under oath "on or about" Nov. 14, according to the panel's letter.

Tucker Carlson provided an accurate assessment of the overt anti-white racism in America that goes not only unchecked, but often praised. His comparison to Rwanda’s eventual genocide doesn’t feel that far off when one considers the daily reminders by many prominent media personalities and politicians of the “whiteness” that pervades this country. So it comes as no surprise that sheltered, entitled, and ignorant professional athletes would share these same anti-white views. For supposedly being oppressed, there is no shortage of self-esteem among leftist blacks. If they truly feared for their lives, it goes without saying that they’d hesitate to make such remarks.

Oil prices and President Joe Biden’s continued draining of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) have dominated the headlines over the past few weeks, but analysts say a more impactful and serious crisis on the energy front looms: a diesel fuel shortage. Diesel doesn’t get as much of the limelight as oil and gas, but it should because diesel fuel is the industrial lifeblood of the United States, and the price of diesel alone probably has a more significant impact on inflation and the prices you’re paying at the grocery store over any other factor. Without ample amounts of diesel, semi-trucks don’t move, farms are shut down, and critical manufacturing
