Why Should Americans Die for European Tyranny?
Posted By: 4250Luis, 12/18/2025 5:21:27 PM
After the European Commission levied a several-hundred-million-dollar fine on Elon Musk and his social media platform X earlier this month, journalist Michael Shellenberger wrote a damning post in which he excoriated Europe’s rank censorship and state-sponsored propaganda. He accused the commission of engaging “in a deception campaign aimed at confusing” Europeans and Americans into thinking that European elites’ “goal” is anything other than “to censor the American people.” Shellenberger pointed out that Musk’s fine came while European governments are demanding backdoor access to all private text messages (under the pretense of combatting the transmission of child pornography) and creating a so-called “Democracy Shield”

Back during the Biden administration, the FBI appeared to be solely focused on rounding up conservatives. At the same time, all kinds of other crimes in their mandate -- spies, terrorism, blue-city corruption -- showed little evidence of activity or results.
Obviously, that allowed the crazies on the left to grow in number and get bolder in their plans, but the results seen now suggest some impressive corrective work. It looks like the FBI -- and the many law enforcement agencies that helped them -- is back.
Zohran Mamdani, the mayor-elect of New York City, is (despite his denials) quite clearly a Marxist, dreaming of the day when he can seize the means of production. He is also a Twelver Shi’ite Muslim — you know, the good folks who rule the Islamic Republic of Iran and scream “Death to America” on a routine basis. And so it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that Mamdani’s plans for New York are not exactly going to transform the Big Apple into a hub for business and opportunity.
I strongly suspect the sentiments I am about to express mean this is not going to be a very popular article, and I equally strongly suspect the Daily Sceptic is one of the very few publications in this country which would actually print it. But, when it comes to Australia’s horrific Bondi Beach shooting, in which at least 15 Jews celebrating Hannukah were shot dead by a father-and-son team of presumable Islamists, it may in some ways have been better if the brave and noble actions of the man who ran up to one of the two terrorists and wrestled his gun away had not happened.
It’s Affordability, Stupid?p

The recent Democratic cry of “affordability” is ironic in many ways.
The left-wing narrative of Trump hyperinflation was one of desperation and came only after previous memes had failed to resonate.
The 2025 generic “dictator,” “fascist,” and “Nazi” smear points never helped the left much.Nor did the nihilist government shutdown over the “Obamacare crisis” work other than perhaps to depress fourth-quarter GDP.
Nor did the earlier spring 2025 melodramatic predictions of an impending “Trade War,” “Recession,” and stock-market “Meltdown resonate.”
Nor did the “Gestapo,” “SS,” and “Nazi” ICE smears become effective talking points.
The “illegal orders” and “unconstitutional use of force” in destroying narcotraffickers’ shipments in transit of lethal drugs were mostly empty rhetoric.
“Stand with Ukraine! Free Palestine! No one is illegal!”
Did I forget any other empty slogans? For the last eight years, the basement-dwelling interlocutors of the left have screamed and yelled for revolution, bearing their signs, blocking the streets, and bawling in front of politicians’ homes.Conservatives and the general public have endured these mantras blasted all over social media and the airwaves. These empty epithets have dominated college campuses, overwhelmed classrooms and public squares, and featured prominently in debates, podcasts, and talk shows.
The left never tires of finding causes to fight for. Whatever declares war on the West, undermines natural law and basic reality, and places power above principle,

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan is often touted as a successor to President Erdogan and has again and again viciously attacked Israel for defending itself. On November 30, while in Iran, Fidan labeled Israel as “the biggest threat to stability in the Middle East” just as he bragged about seeking to significantly expand Turkish cooperation on issues such as energy, trade, border protection, and Middle East security needs with Iran.
In August Fidan said “Israel’s reckless attacks on Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria,

You don't hate the media enough, dear readers. Need a new example to refresh your memory since the last one just a handful of hours ago? OK, I shall oblige you. This one relates to the process of supporting our heroes through the work of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
What do you think a story with the following Washington Post headline will be about? "VA plans to abruptly eliminate tens of thousands of health care jobs."
It sounds really negative, right? Like something is sure to happen that will leave our servicemembers and veterans in the lurch? That could lead to, I dunno,

President Trump vowed to respond Saturday after an attack on US and coalition forces killed three US service members in Palmyra, Syria.
“We will retaliate,” Trump said, asked by reporters about the incident as he left the White House Saturday to attend the Army-Navy football game.
“We mourn the loss of three great patriots in Syria. We know how it happened. It was an ambush — terrible,” Trump said. “We also have three wounded that seem to be doing pretty well,” he added. “But we mourn the loss, these are three great people. And it’s just a terrible thing.”

Convicted in U.S. Court but Freed by Biden 9 replies
The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) on Thursday imposed sanctions on Efrain Antonio Campo Flores and Franqui Francisco Flores de Freitas, Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro’s convicted drug-trafficking nephews. Flores and Flores de Freitas were arrested and convicted of drug trafficking crimes in the United States, but released and sent back to Venezuela by former U.S. President Joe Biden in 2022. OFAC also reinstated U.S. sanctions on Carlos Erik Malpica Flores, another of Maduro’s nephews. Malpica was originally sanctioned by President Donald Trump in his first term but had his sanctions lifted by the Biden administration.
Venezuela functions both as a forward operating base and as an insurance policy for the regime, safeguarding its operatives and extending its reach.
Allowing Iran to entrench itself in the Western Hemisphere would only create a hostile foothold from which it could coordinate operations, support proxy groups, and control regional dynamics with near impunity.
President Donald J. Trump's policy on Venezuela is not only strategically sound but necessary to finally put a stop to Iran's explicit plans for the U.S. Iran has recently come out publicly, voicing strong support for Venezuela against the United States. Its statement reflects a deep strategic and military relationship that serves multiple interests for Tehran.

The unspeakable tragedy that has been visited upon the family of Rob Reiner has likely left all parents in shock.
Given what has been available to read about Nick Reiner these past several days, since the murder of his parents, it has shed a little light on what that family has endured since their son Nick was eight years old, maybe even before that.
He was apparently a difficult child long before he became a drug user.
His parents tried to help him way back then after he disrupted their yoga sessions.
They hired their trainer to work specifically with Nick, thinking yoga would help him

A Wisconsin judge accused of concealing an undocumented man to prevent his arrest by immigration authorities was found guilty of felony obstruction, according to ABC Milwaukee affiliate WISN, which was in the courtroom for the trial.
Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan was charged in a two-count federal indictment that alleges she obstructed official Department of Homeland Security removal proceedings and knowingly concealed the man from immigration authorities at a courthouse in April.
Dugan was found guilty of obstructing federal agents and not guilty of concealing an undocumented immigrant from arrest during an April courthouse incident.
A murder spree from hell

The man suspected of carrying out two murderous attacks — one at Brown University that killed two students and wounded nine more, and another that killed the MIT professor in his Brookline home — was found dead in a storage unit in Salem, New Hampshire last night. The murderer apparently took the coward’s way out.
Listening to the Providence press conference last night — it was followed by one featuring United States Attorney Leah Foley speaking about the murder of MIT Professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro — we learned that a witness who had confronted the murderer on the Brown campus provided the key to the breaking of the case
Democrats are sinking like a stone, and the new Quinnipiac poll makes it official: their congressional approval rating has hit a historic low of just 18%, with a brutal 73% disapproving. That's the worst number Quinnipiac has recorded since they started asking the question back in 2009. Even CNN's chief data analyst, Harry Enten, couldn't hide his shock, declaring that "Democrats, in the minds of the American public, are lower than the Dead Sea."
The real kicker? Democrats are turning on their own party. Only 42% of Democratic voters approve of how their representatives in Congress are performing, while 48% disapprove.
Writing this in December as I am you might be tempted to think I’m something of a money-grubbing Scrooge, but let me assure you in this first sentence I’m nothing of the sort. In fact, when it comes to tipping good service, I’m renowned for being generous, and was going twenty percent years before it was standard.
My formula for a tip is this. When I enter an establishment, the wait staff is at twenty percent, perhaps even a little more. The tip is built into my tipping psyche. At that point, it’s up to the wait staff to begin working their way down.
Investigators have revealed that the gunman responsible for killing two students at Brown University also killed a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor two days later.
The motives of 48-year-old Claudio Manuel Neves Valente for both attacks remains unclear, but federal prosecutors on Thursday disclosed an interesting detail about the relationship of the killer to one of his victims.
Nuno F.G. Loureiro, the 47-year-old MIT professor, was fatally shot at his home in the Boston suburb of Brookline by his former classmate.
GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik unexpectedly dropped her bid to become New York’s next governor Friday.
“While spending precious time with my family this Christmas season, I have made the decision to suspend my campaign for Governor and will not seek re-election to Congress. I did not come to this decision lightly for our family,” she posted on X.
“While we would have overwhelmingly won this primary, it is not an effective use of our time or your generous resources to spend the first half of next year in an unnecessary and protracted Republican primary, especially in a challenging state like New York.”

The grand plans of the EU Leadership failed to generate their desired result. Initially, Ursula von der Leyen, Frederich Merz, Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer intended to permanently confiscate the Russian sovereign wealth fund and use it to fund their interests in Ukraine. However, the EU coalition didn’t agree.
Kamala Harris is still doing her best to hawk her book.
She had two interviews that got attention on Wednesday, one with former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Jaime Harrison and one with Jimmy Kimmel on his ABC late night show. Both interviews were just another window into why Harris would be a terrible candidate for 2028, given the comments that she made.
Harrison asked Harris about 2028, and she left the door wide open. Meanwhile, the interviewer cried when asked by his wife when the time would come for black women [to be president]. Um, guys? She didn't lose because she was black, any more than Hillary Clinton
Untold pixels have been spilled on the subject of illegal immigration, in the legacy media, the alternative media, and the blogosphere. President Trump was re-elected, in no small part, due to his promise to address the wide-open borders policy of the Biden years, and despite opposition at every step from the legacy media and Democrats (but I repeat myself) he's been doing that.
But what about legal immigration?
Some recent polling has revealed that a plurality of responders would like to see legal immigration reduced, or even halted altogether.
Two-thirds of Republicans want legalized migration to be decreased or ended, says a new poll by YouGov.
In contrast,
Kamala's Idea of "normal" is abnormal
10 replies
Kamala Harris appeared on Jimmy Kimmel’s alleged comedy show and waxed moronic about how “abnormal” Trump and his administration and followers are. She sneered, curled her lips around her disdain, and told the hyper fancritters in the live audience that “Nothing about this is normal and should not be normalized.” (Pick it up at 04:33.)
“Wrong, corrupt, and cowardly” were some words she used to describe the Trump administration and its leader, Donald J. Trump.
There is a question floating around conservative circles that makes polite society squirm, which is usually how you know it is worth asking. It went viral again as it was posed on X in November. (X) Why do so many modern liberal women speak with open hostility toward Christianity while extending sympathy, or at least silence, toward Islam? Not cultural Muslims living quietly in America. Not neighbors or coworkers. The ideology itself, especially its fundamentalist expressions that are openly hostile to women’s rights, autonomy, and safety.
That question is not hateful. It is not ignorant. It is observant.
