Stepping Over The Bodies

As someone who was passionately and rationally (yes, you can do both) against every single Covid measure, and was pretty much from the very start, the only thing more amazing than how everyone went along with the insanity, is the way nobody really really cares about it at all just a couple of years later. In the UK, for example, we currently have an ongoing ‘Covid enquiry’ which features in little dribs and drabs, only now and then, in the mainstream news. Enquiries have of course often been the exact opposite of what they are claimed to be. People call for an enquiry not when they want to reveal

Shayetet 13, the elite IDF naval unit, intercepted the Gaza Freedom Flotilla early on Monday morning at around 3 a.m., according to the ship's operators and military officials.
The IDF boarded the Madleen, and took the crew and the ship to the Port of Ashdod, where they would be sent back to their respective countries, with Defense Minister Israel Katz instructing that the passengers view footage from Hamas's October 7 attacks. (Snip)
The ministry later announced that the flotilla, referring to it as the "selfie yacht," was making its way to Israeli shores, and announced that all passengers are expected to return to their home countries.
Surprising Hope In The Streets Of Paris

I told you all that I would write Monday’s newsletter at the end of Monday, Paris time, after I had been out in Chartres for the end of the pilgrimage. (Snip)I cannot remember the last time I wrote a story that made me so happy. I knew that I would like it in principle — young Catholics walking three days from Paris to Chartres, singing and praying all the way — but I had no real idea what to expect.
After spending just two hours mingling with the crowd at the start of the event, I can tell you that I came away feeling more hopeful about things than I have
Supreme Court Gives Trump a Quiet, Yet
Potentially Large Victory Against Administrative State 17 replies
Potentially Large Victory Against Administrative State 17 replies
As Americans began to prepare for Memorial Day weekend, the Supreme Court quietly handed President Donald Trump a significant victory in the fight to rein in the rogue D.C. bureaucracy.
In a short, two-page order, the court stayed a district court order that directed Trump to reinstate two federal officials whom he had fired.
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett voted for the stay. Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.
The obvious effect is that the two officials (Snip) cannot retake their positions in either agency unless they win their lawsuits.
Do Not Be Fooled by Iran: What They Really

The real nakba [catastrophe, for Palestinians] was that they started a war and lost it. Well, if you start a war, that is what can happen.
The Trump administration should beware of countries where the mouth says one thing but the legs do the opposite. Believe the legs. The Iranians and Palestinians have not given up their dream of eliminating Israel and America.
Iran's leaders do the same thing. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reassures Americans that "We are not seeking war, we favor negotiation and dialogue." Meanwhile, Khamenei calls for the elimination of the "Zionist regime" and endorses "Death to America."
R.I.P. Michael Ledeen

“I often say to people, you’ve all seen these demonstrations in the streets of Iran, thousands of people chanting, “Death to America.” What do you think they mean?What is that all about anyway? Is that some local street festival? Is it something they do to amuse themselves? And the answer is no. That’s exactly what they have in mind.”
That was Michael Ledeen at the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s Restoration Weekend ten years ago. Obama was clinging to power in his last years and Ledeen let him have it in characteristically direct terms. Then, as he had always been, Ledeen was direct, compelling and unequivocal in standing up to evil.
Unwinding the bureaucracy’s grip on American life will take an effort that outlasts this president and the next. But last week’s executive order is a start.
The second Trump administration contains multitudes. Rhetorically — and, often, practically — it has advanced an expansive view of executive power that echoes its leader’s famous, l’état-c’est-moi-esque declaration that “I alone can fix it.” And yet, in its concurrent attempts to rein in the most egregious excesses of our presumptuous and recalcitrant federal bureaucracy, it has tasked itself with effecting reforms that run in precisely the opposite direction.
Clarice Feldman is on vacation, so I borrowed from my 'week in review' column an editor's pick of the week's top stories, modified for the article format.
There are more than three big stories this week to sum up this time. Americans are beginning to get a sense of the new pope. Tariffs are having their impact. The CPI shows inflation shrinking. The U.K. continues to appall us with its wokesterly governance, which is now seeing some backtracking on immigration, as is Gavin Newsom's California. We can also add news of how bad Joe Biden's mental decline was and the press that covered it up. But these are honorable mentions.
Iran appears to be using diplomacy to stall, deceive and advance its nuclear capabilities behind closed doors, while securing financial and geopolitical concessions from the West.
The disturbing part is not that Iran's mullahs are following their usual tactics. The horror is that American officials and Western leaders appear to be falling for this shell-game all over again.
The problem with enriching hostile regimes to "buy quiet" is that this is the money they use to build nuclear weapons with which to attack us.
An additional problem, unfortunately, is that the Iranian regime has a well-documented history of lying.
From my perch at American Thinker, rumors sometimes come my way. One of them, seemingly a solid one, is that a well-financed effort is underway to acquire several major conservative outlets, including Human Events, The Post Millennial, and The Daily Caller, to roll them up under a single owner. According to what I’ve heard, the forces behind this effort are donors sympathetic to the vision of the Republican Party that Liz Cheney, Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, and Mitt Romney espouse.
As a matter of principle, I’m deeply opposed to the idea of a consortium controlling multiple once-independent websites.
Big Trump Action Goes Mostly Unnoticed

Donald Trump just made it harder to go to federal prison.
On Friday, President Trump issued a new executive order with a remarkably broad scope and deep implications, under the title “Fighting Overcriminalization in Federal Regulations.” It starts with plain, clear, direct language:
The Code of Federal Regulations contains over 48,000 sections, stretching over 175,000 pages — far more than any citizen can possibly read, let alone fully understand. Worse, many carry potential criminal penalties for violations. The situation has become so dire that no one — likely including those charged with enforcing our criminal laws at the Department of Justice — knows how many separate criminal offenses are contained in the
The Imaginary Casey Means

Yes, there is a fight right now among MAHA activists. Yes, it has to do with the announcement on May 7 2025 that “wellness influencer” and bestselling author Casey Means was replacing Dr Janette Nesheiwat as President Trump’s nominee for the office of Surgeon General. Dr Nesheiwat, it emerged, had misrepresented her medical credentials.
A post by former Vice Presidential Candidate Nicole Shanahan, without whose financial and strategic support for RFK Jr’s candidacy, neither he nor President Trump would be in power right now, has been widely circulated. Shanahan found it “strange” that a direct assurance to her from RFK Jr, in exchange for her support for his confirmation,

Don’t be discouraged, but this is the worst, most horrifying story I have ever had to cover. Whatever we believed the trafficking problem was, things were much worse, much more literally demonic, and much more widespread than anyone imagined. The first clue appeared yesterday in FBI Director Kash Patel’s astonishing tweet:
(Snip) Deeply disturbing is an understatement. For whatever reason, the media isn’t reporting the whole story. But the Trump Administration has initiated one of the largest and most urgent federal law enforcement responses in history. The ABC article buried the lede, which was that the entire FBI is now involved in responding to an altogether new and horrifying threat.

Sa’ad bin Atef al-Awlaki, the newly anointed leader of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), has issued a chilling call to arms targeting the President of the United States, Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other top administration officials, including Elon Musk and Cabinet members[snip] Al-Awlaki, speaking in Arabic but quickly translated and circulated on social media, issued a direct incitement to domestic terror by calling on the estimated 4.5 million Muslims living in America to carry out lone wolf-style assassinations in the name of “revenge.”
If you’re the media, you call it a “mostly peaceful protest.” Normal people might call it an “insurrection.”
But “insurrection” is not quite right, either. “Insurrection” implies a violent revolt against the government by its own citizens, not violence by uninvited foreigners who refuse to leave.
I suppose you could call it a riot, but when its foreigners claiming ownership of the land, it’s a bit more than that.
So, the question remains: What do you call it when foreigners:
illegally enter the country,
refuse our requests that they leave,
assert ownership over the land,
attack our people, places and government,
under the colors of their foreign flag while burning the American flag,
Israel has deported Greta Thunberg after seizing the Gaza-bound ship that she and her fellow anti-Israel activists used in their attempt to violate the Jewish state’s naval blockade.
“Greta Thunberg just departed Israel on a flight to Sweden (via France),” Israel’s foreign ministry said on its official X account Tuesday. The foreign ministry posted two pictures of the 22-year old on board a plane.
Thunberg was one of 12 activists aboard the Madleen. The crew refused to comply with Israeli directives to deliver the aid they were carrying to the proper port in Israel,

CDC Vaccine Advisory Panel in Stunning

U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has abruptly dismissed all 17 members of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)—the federal body that shapes America’s vaccine policy.
In a blistering op‑ed published Monday in The Wall Street Journal, RFK Jr. declared the panel “plagued with persistent conflicts of interest” and branding the current members as a shadowy cabal heavily influenced by pharmaceutical money.

It can be recalled that the ‘unsafe and ineffective’ COVID-19 vaccine was formally added to the routine immunization schedule for both children and adolescents by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Thursday.
FBI Director Kash Patel said the Bureau is investigating the source of funding that is fueling the riots in Los Angeles, California.
Sections of Los Angeles have seen rioters engaging in property damage, looting stores, clashing with law enforcement authorities, and vandalizing police vehicles. The riots are a response to a series of raids Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out in the area last week. However, many view the unrest as a statement against the Trump administration’s mass deportations of illegal immigrants.
In a statement to Just the News, Patel confirmed that the FBI “is investigating any and all monetary connections responsible for these riots.”
I once stood on the haunted soil of Hitler’s first concentration camp: Dachau.
Picture a dozen or so rowdy 15-year-old high school boys on a four-week tour of Germany and Austria. With only our German teacher, Albert "Doc" Kalmar, to supervise, we did everything you’d expect from teenagers. We gawked at the Glockenspiel, ordered beers at lunch, and tried out our awkward language skills on the local girls.
Then picture us stunned into silence by a place where the evil still lingered like a physical presence, almost 40 years after the war. I don't have any more words to describe it —
California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office is attempting to mock President Donald Trump’s characterization of Los Angeles as “occupied” by illegal immigrants, using artificial intelligence and the voice of a “Star Wars” villain. In a video Newsom’s office posted on X Tuesday morning, the voice of Emperor Palpatine recites a recent Trump post on Truth Social, accompanied by footage of marching Stormtroopers. “A once great American city, Los Angeles, has been invaded and occupied by illegal aliens and criminals,” the sneering voice says, reminiscent of the emperor’s evil monologues from the film franchise. “Now, violent, insurrectionist mobs are swarming and attacking
Ever since President Trump federalized the National Guard to restore order in Los Angeles and protect federal officers from violent left-wing mobs, the left has been screeching the same tired lie: that Trump “refused” to send the Guard to the Capitol on January 6. It’s a narrative being pushed by Democrat hacks, legacy media mouthpieces, and keyboard warriors who conveniently ignore the facts. The truth? Trump absolutely did authorize and recommend the deployment of National Guard troops ahead of January 6—multiple times.
Tensions are reaching a boiling point between David Hogg and Democratic National Committee (DNC) leadership as the organization moves to potentially redo Hogg’s election as vice chair. Leaked audio revealed DNC Chair Ken Martin venting his frustration with Hogg, who has come under fire from some within the party for his efforts to oust certain incumbents while serving as a DNC vice chair. (Snip) “David Hogg is one of the biggest distractions we’ve had and seen in our party,” said Democratic strategist Antjuan Seawright, who advised former DNC Chair Jaime Harrison and hopes Hogg loses his seat. “I don’t trust
CLAIM: “On January 6th…we begged the President of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it.”
VERDICT: FALSE. Trump offered the National Guard ahead of time, but Democrats refused.
Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claimed Tuesday in a news conference on Capitol Hill that President Trump refused to send the National Guard to protect the Capitol from rioters on January 6, 2021.
Her point was to contrast Trump’s supposed refusal to protect the Capitol with his apparent enthusiasm for federalizing the California National Guard in recent days to quell left-wing riots in Los Angeles, California.
She made her remarks among other California Democrats,
ABC News said Tuesday it is cutting ties with star national correspondent Terry Moran over a social media post in which he called President Donald Trump and senior White House advisor Stephen Miller “world-class” haters.
Moran, 65, had already been suspended over the quickly deleted post on X over the weekend after drawing fire from Trump administration officials. He had spent 28 years at the network and had conducted a one-on-one interview with Trump in late April.
“We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post — which was a clear violation of ABC News policies
AT&T has experienced a massive personal data breach, so if you’re one of the more than 100 million people who use the company, you’ll want to be on guard.
According to a new report from Hack Read, more than 86 million customers have been affected with leaked details ranging from full names to dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses and physical addresses.
It’s reported that more than 44 million Social Security Numbers were also included in the data leak.
While each of these data sets poses privacy risks on their own, together they could create full identity profiles that could be exploited for fraud or identity theft.

What he describes is similar to what has gone on here in the USA. But I think the Brits are more sheeplike than Americans on the whole, and we have a lot of people revealing the truth, and more aware of the damage that was done, and could be done again. From the article I gather that Brits are as fed up with more shots as Americans are. I only hope that if Trump becomes president again he will for once leave aside his pride and admit the huge mistake, make public the truth about it, and expose the bad actors, perhaps prosecuting those who deserve it. But that's probably a pipe dream.
