In the gathering dusk of a North Norfolk evening, where the North Sea mists drift in from a cold and indifferent sea, James Nye, 44, whose family has run East Anglian inns for 30 years, stands behind the bar of the White Horse in Holme-next-the-Sea. The pub, a low, Grade II-listed sentinel of stone and brick, flickers beneath strings of fairy lights that feel less festive than quietly defiant. Nye, steward of 10 inns, draws a pint of Adnams Ghost Ship while the low growl of tractors fades along the lanes outside – protest vehicles nursing wounds deeper than any fresh furrow.”

Not to worry - - the traditional English pubs will be replaced by doner kebab stands. They're a much better reflection of the direction where the UK is headed.

I am more than a skeptic (the true spelling, not the British form) of this publication. It goes on and on sopped with dreariness about the high monetary expectations of the govt, without even once mentioning the invasion of blood-sucking "refugees" who are draining the country of its finances, safety, history, freedoms, and culture.

Not a problem. As the English die out and no longer have children the muslims are ready to take over. Electricity, who needs electricity? We are headed "Back to the Future" where every year is the year 700. They could have forgotten all those fancy adverbs and adjectives and simply said "England is lost. Immigration wokeness killed it". End of story.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom grosses out

Nuts to that. California Gov. Gavin Newsom was roasted online for his bizarre AI-created reaction to being called out by The Post for sitting in a testicle-crushing pose during an interview. Newsom’s press office took to X Friday to try and deflect from the many masculinity-mocking pol-watchers with a doctored image of the governor in an even more compromising yoga-style pose on stage at The New York Times Dealbook Summit. “Democracy requires flexibility,” the tone-deaf Governor Newsom Press Office wrote in a caption to the post. The strange attempt at humor fell flat with X-users who were aghast at the extra eyeful of Gavin. “They…Posted this?” Mark Mitchell from Rasmussen Report.

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Mehmet Oz on Friday warned Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz the state could lose federal Medicaid funding unless it restores "the integrity" of its program. In a post on X, Dr. Oz claimed more than $1 billion had been stolen through a massive Medicaid fraud scheme carried out by "bad actors" within Minnesota’s Somali community, alleging some of the funds "may have even made its way to the Somalian terrorist group (al-Shabab)."

The left beclowns itself again and again It is actually rather sad … the Democrats keep trying out new narratives every couple of days. This week, it is the blowing up of narcoterrorist boats. This is a bad thing, they say. Cocaine from Venezuela has killed tens of thousands of Americans, but the Democrats are mad that our fabulous military is taking them off the map. Never mind that Venezuela has been shipping drugs to the U.S. and rigging elections around the world for decades. A few weeks ago, the Dems' hair was on fire over the Jeffrey Epstein documents they were demanding be released.

With the reversal of Roe, abortion legislation is now back in the hands of the states, but any success for the pro-life movement was unacceptable for New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin. Thus, he decided to target pro-life centers in New Jersey in a way that stood to intimidate the center’s donors, and possibly threaten its services: Platkin, a Democrat appointed by Gov. Phil Murphy, began scrutinizing pregnancy counseling centers in July 2022 by launching a ‘strike force’ to promote abortion access in the wake of the Supreme Court’s landmark Dobbs decision. Platkin said such facilities presented consumer fraud concerns because they misled donors and clients about the services they offered.

A writer at the LA Times clearly has his head in the sand, as evidenced by his latest piece, where he pretends that “things have changed” because Democrats with seriously scandalous pasts are still elected to office, or surging toward election. He cites three examples: gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter in California who berated her staff; Graham Platner in Maine who had a Nazi tattoo and berated blacks and the police, and now-AG of Virginia who wished for the shooting death of his opponent and his children. (These three individuals are all still supported by most of the media and their fellow Democrats.)

Navy Adm. Frank Bradley, the commander who oversaw the Sept. 2 strikes on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean, denied that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered his subordinates to “kill everybody” aboard the vessel during briefings to lawmakers on Capitol Hill. The denial follows a report from The Washington Post last week that the Pentagon chief gave a spoken directive to “kill everybody” ahead of the U.S. military’s Sept. 2 attack against an alleged drug-smuggling vessel in the Caribbean, an operation where 11 “narco-terrorists” were killed.

If this were not a family news website, I would have used a more colorful title. One of the defining features of our age is the incredible stupidity of many of those in the public eye. People with the IQ of an acorn lecture us about climate change or that boys and girls are interchangeable like socks. Sports stars, music makers, billionaires, and Hollywood grandees can never find the off switch to their mouths when they discuss things that they do not understand. That never stops them. Whichever way the wind is blowing left, they add their views, though the world would be better off without their empty "wisdom."

women like Olivia Nuzzi — whose career
as a journalist is over
7 replies
Posted by FlyRight 12/4/2025 5:09:41 PM Post Reply
There’s a reason that women like Olivia Nuzzi used to be shunned by polite society in more orderly times. Any woman who sets her sights on a married man is making a deliberate, selfish choice to cause pain to another woman. This is not a sisterly act. Through history, women who make enemies of other women are seen as lethal to the tribe’s cohesion and are cast out. That’s the way it was when shame existed, and genteel social norms had replaced stoning or drowning or other horrors the medieval world bestowed on women. Olivia Nuzzi's book "American Canto" was released this week and panned by critics.

Many Americans sense our country is drifting into turmoil—and, in many ways, it is. The headlines tell a grim story: an Afghan national once connected to U.S. intelligence is accused of shooting two National Guard troops in Washington, D.C.; New York City’s mayor-elect, a citizen only since 2018, lectures the Oval Office and his constituents on “international law”, apparently unaware of the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause; deeply troubling incidents involving migrant communities in Minnesota and Michigan; and an atmosphere of accusation coming from the political left, in which President Trump is alternately branded a dictator, a king, and a fascist. In such moments, people naturally look for clarity and explanation.

Progressive Jersey City Councilman James Solomon is projected to beat former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey (D) in Jersey City’s mayoral election, according to Decision Desk HQ. Solomon on Tuesday defeated McGreevey, who resigned from his post as governor in 2004 after revealing that he had an extramarital affair with a man, in an election to succeed current Mayor Steve Fulop (D), who opted to instead run for governor. Fulop lost in the Democratic gubernatorial primary to New Jersey Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill (D). Solomon and McGreevey ran in a crowded race in November that included five others for the mayoral seat.

Election authorities in Honduras said Monday morning that the conservative former mayor endorsed by President Trump and a sportscaster rival were virtually tied in a presidential election that many predicted would be volatile even before Mr. Trump weighed in on the race. The preliminary and partial results showed that Mr. Trump’s pick, Nasry Asfura, and the sportscaster, Salvador Nasralla, were in the lead, with ballots from nearly 56 percent of polling places counted. The candidate for the left-wing party in power, Rixi Moncada, was trailing far behind, the early results showed, with around half the votes cast for each of the right-wing candidates.

Democrats can now add a major city in Donald Trump’s home state — and one set to host his future presidential library — to its list of off-cycle election wins. In a Tuesday runoff, Miamians elected Eileen Higgins as mayor, the first woman in the city’s history to hold the job and the first Democrat in 28 years. Higgins, a former county commissioner, defeated Republican Emilio González, an ex-city manager who had the endorsement of Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis. Though the race and the job of mayor are nominally nonpartisan, the election generated sizable interest from national Democrats and Republicans. Higgins’ win adds to the slew of victories

A gang of Philadelphia teenagers accused of robbing a Dick's Sporting Goods store in Florida while attending a football tournament have been named and shamed by a no-nonsense sheriff. Members of the eight-strong mob were arrested and hit with felony charges after their alleged December 6 theft spree - something they may not have expected in their Pennsylvania home city, whose district attorney is a notoriously woke prosecutor called Larry Krasner. The teenagers are members of the United Thoroughbreds team from Philadelphia and were in Davenport to face the Coco Tigers team for the Prolifix Sportz National Championship.

Highlighting exactly why Barack Obama, Joe Biden and James Clyburn needed to deploy a 2021 Machiavellian strategy to get her moved onto the Supreme Court, Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson (KBJ) argues for the supreme power of the DC bureaucracy that must not be challenged by the President of the United States (Executive Branch). In the case of Trump v Slaughter, the removal of the FTC Chair, Justice KBJ argues that presidential authority must be kept in check by the unelected “professionals and experts” who make up the bureaucracy underneath him. The “No Kings” argument is entirely ridiculous given the plenary power of the executive and the constitutional authority of the

South Carolina GOP Rep. Nancy Mace slammed her party's House leadership Monday in an opinion piece for the New York Times, where she claimed that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was a "more effective" leader than Republicans. Mace is the latest female Republican lawmaker to blast House leadership and the Trump administration, after Georgia firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene broke from her party to criticize its leadership in recent months. "I came to Congress five years ago believing I could make a difference for my constituents, for South Carolina and for a country I love deeply," Mace wrote in her piece. "But I’ve learned that the system in the House

ATLANTA (AP) — A federal judge has permanently ordered Georgia’s prison system to keep providing some kinds of gender-affirming care for transgender prisoners, although the state plans to appeal. U.S. District Judge Victoria Marie Calvert last week ruled that a new state law denying hormone therapy to inmates violated their protection against cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. She ordered the state to keep providing hormones to inmates who had been receiving therapy and to allow others medically diagnosed as needing hormone therapy to begin receiving treatment.

American Taxpayers Are Paying Somalis
Millions To Not Assimilate

Civil war and famine spurred many Somalians to immigrate to the United States in 1991 and settle in Minnesota. That was 34 years ago. Somalians could have assimilated into U.S. culture by now, but American taxpayers have been roped into funding programs that coddle Somalians’ Third-World culture and disincentivize their assimilation. The Somali population explosion has rendered parts of Minneapolis unrecognizable as they impose a decidedly non-American culture on every aspect of the city. Somalis are members of the police force, city council, state legislature, and even Congress, still speaking their own language in those positions and, at times, cutting English speakers out of the loop.

An Australian women’s rights advocate has been ordered to pay a combined total of $95,000 AUD to two trans-identified men, with an additional $40,000 penalty in the case of non-compliance. Kirralie Smith was found guilty by a New South Wales court of “unlawfully vilifying” two trans-identified males who made headlines for participating in women’s sports. Justin “Riley” Dennis and Nicholas “Stephanie” Blanch lodged criminal complaints against Smith for raising public awareness of their inclusion in women’s football. Smith, a spokeswoman with Binary Australia, a campaign group dedicated to advocating for single-sex sports in Australia, had been raising public awareness of their inclusion in women’s sports after learning of injuries sustained

Amid an orgy of executions and the accelerating collapse of its economy, the mullahs' regime has driven the Iranian people to unprecedented levels of hardship. The latest plunge of the national currency to a historic low is not an accident of market forces, nor the consequence of global instability. It is the inevitable result of decades of plunder, corruption, and ideological fanaticism by a ruling clerical mafia whose survival depends on bleeding the nation dry. In recent days, the U.S. dollar smashed through the 1,250,000-rial threshold for the first time, shattering all previous records.

The new Washington Post editorial board continues to be a surprise. I suspect they have posted more right-leaning material in the past 3 months than was published in the paper during Biden's entire term in office. In any case, today the Post makes the case that Obamacare subsidies, the coming expiration of which was the stated reason Democrats shut down the government, should not be extended. Why? Because there is lots of evidence suggesting the program is rife with fraud. On party-line votes in 2021 and 2022, Democrats invoked the pandemic emergency to temporarily expand eligibility for Obamacare insurance subsidies. Preserving these credits, which are due to expire
