Starmer Resigns

Original Article

Sir Keir Starmer choked up this morning as he resigned as Labour leader and listed his ‘achievements’, setting the stage for a leadership contest and a new Prime Minister to be in place by September. The Mail has more. Keir Starmer choked up today as he announced he is quitting, with Andy Burnham closing in on taking control of Downing Street. The PM talked up his achievements in getting Labour elected – as well as making a series of dubious claims about successes in Government – in a statement outside the famous black door of No. 10.

In his newfound spare time, perhaps he can go learn how to throw a baseball like a guy. He could also champion "'migrant rights" in the streets and pubs of Belfast.. /s

The heartless pasty-faced Starmer cried? Why? Because innocents were raped and killed on his watch while he led his country to the brink of civil war? No, of course not. Not a chance in hell. Just read his statement. His tears have to do with nothing more than an inability to understand why the Labour Party isn’t more grateful that he betrayed common folk while they were being savaged in the streets by invaders so that those invaders will become a solid, decisive Labour voting bloc.

No big deal, as Starmer, without a general election, will just be replaced by another Labor Party communist or socialist, with more of the same political agenda that Starmer pushed. The King could dissolve Parliament now that would cause a general election to kick in, but unfortunately he appears to be too weak, and maybe a supporter of foreign Muslim illegal immigration into the UK, for some crazy reason known only to him to do that. Starmer refused to properly fund the British Armed Forces with enough money to properly fund the UK national defense with the top defense ministers telling him that and resigning. No doubt the Labor Party politician who will follow Starmer will be doing the same, probably until the Russian Navy moves in and takes over the English Channel. Unfortunately the so-called UK Conservative Party is about equal to the US leftist Democrats and over their time in office also supported a socialist political agenda that was all about boosting up all sorts of welfare including welfare for illegal aliens that has just caused and invited more mass uncontrolled illegal immigration of foreign origin Muslims into the UK., and did not adequately support the British Armed Forces.

Half of the people calling for Starmer's ouster said he went too far. The other half said he did not go far enough. His successor will be another Labour Party member. I say it is 50/50 they will be worse than Starmer. Starmer's ouster had to be done. Things weren't going to improve while he remained. Definitely a move in the right direction though likely there will be no signs of improvement for some time if ever. Britain's decline may prove terminal. Just remember Britain is the country the USA resembles the most.

recently joined my dear friend AJ Rice on his new show, "Dangerous Laughter." It’s a cutting-edge example of new media that AJ describes as “political satire with a spine.” Somewhere between the laughs, the history lessons, and AJ's trademark ability to connect today's headlines to events most people slept through in high school, we landed on a topic that continues to haunt the American Left. Why are so many Latino Americans walking away from the Democrat Party? It's a question I explore in my new book, "The Rise of the Liberty-Loving Latino," but it's also a question Democrats seem uniquely incapable of answering honestly.

It’s amazing to think Keir Starmer was sold to us Brits as Mr. Sensible. He’ll be gloriously boring and that’s just what we need, said his media cheerleaders when he was elected prime minister in July 2024. After the tumult of Brexit, the wacky Boris Johnson years and all that lockdown lunacy, we need a little calm, they said. Enter Sir Keir. He’s a “safe pair of hands,” said every talking head. “The grown-ups are back in charge,” cried The Guardian. Fast-forward 23 months and Starmer has thrown in the towel. Far from steadying the good ship Britain, he’s left it in an unholy mess. Starmer’s Britain is a nation scarred by riots, fractured by social division,

As I've been reporting, Colombia had presidential elections last month, and on Sunday, there was a run-off between the Donald Trump-like right-winger, Abelardo de la Espriella (aka El Tigre), and current president Gustavo Petro's hand-picked socialist successor, Iván Cepeda. Well, we can say that another country in Latin America has taken a swing to the right because El Tigre won narrowly, though I'm willing to bet Petro and his folks were up to some funny business. I just don't buy that nearly half the country voted for the commie... or, at least, half of the 63.6% of people who showed up to the polls in Colombia and beyond.

deliberate, multi-layered system was assembled over decades by the Democrat Party and its various allies and dramatically expanded between 2021 and 2025, through which U.S. taxpayer dollars, recycled foreign contributions, and dark-money campaign finance were deployed to facilitate mass illegal immigration, entrench the illegal alien population against removal, and sustain the political coalition responsible for building the system in the first place.

The Senate voted 50-48 in favor of the war powers resolution, which passed the House ‌of Representatives early this month, reflecting growing concern even among some of Trump's Republicans about the unpopular conflict that began on February 28. It was the first time both chambers of Congress had passed a resolution directing a president to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities since the War Powers Resolution

The successful prosecution of the terrorism-related charges was seen as a victory for the Trump administration and a deterrent for violent extremist groups that could pave the way for future prosecutions. “It was never intended that anybody get hurt. It was never intended that any shots would be fired.” Meanwhile, no terrorism-related charges were announced on June 16 by the federal government in connection with a Minneapolis case with alleged Antifa ties.

Talarico, the Democrat nominee facing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in November's Senate race, has spent months trying to sell Texans on his Christian faith. But his past words have muddied that message. Talarico has previously claimed "God is nonbinary," argued that the bible sanctioned abortion, and described surgically altering the bodies of gender-confused children as an expression of God's love.
