It is impossible to explain US politics without vulgar metaphors by Colin Liddell American politics used to be based on the model of "Our plausible centrist is better than your plausible centrist." Looking at Post-War Presidents, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Carter, Bush (senior), and Clinton all fit effortlessly into this pattern. With a little bit of oil, even Ronald Raegan and Bush (junior) can…
The establishment's latest effort at depoliticisation has failed by Colin Liddell The Clacton by-election was caused by Nigel Farage seeking to renew his "democratic mandate" in the face of credible allegations of being a bought-and-paid-for tool of political corruption. The thinking was "OK, I may be the tool of suspicious dark money, but, hey, the voters don't seem to mind, so why should you?"…
by Colin Liddell There has rightly been something of a backlash against the overly sympathetic appointment of a delusional and deceitful Black man to a professorship at Cambridge University, one of the oldest and most venerable academic institutions in the World. The result of this backlash is that Jason Arday has been forced to resign to prevent further investigations into the web of unvetted…
Ceuta, the other day by Daniel Barge The Ceuta border rush that saw around 60,000 mainly young Moroccans rush the Spanish enclave of Ceuta recently, and which led to over 100 deaths, appears to have been a Russian operation. As reported by the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR), Denmark’s national public-service broadcaster: "The EU has recorded more than 2,000 fake articles and over 6,000 fake…
We really need a "three strikes and you're out" policy with regard to political pundits, especially those who make sweeping statements and over-confident predictions. If that had been the case, we would have been shot of John Mearsheimer a long time ago. As it is, this so-called "geopolitical commentator" is still trotted out in interviews and articles, and presented to us as someone whose opinion…
by Duns Scotus One reason why politics has been so weird for the last 10-15 years or so is because the countries with real deep states have been pulling in unison against those states that don't really have deep states. So, who am I talking about? Those countries with real deep states—or deep deep states—are Russia, where the President is literally a deep state bro, Israel, China, and, to a lesser…
Think I've got a feeling I've lost inside by Colin Liddell There are 23 people who sit at the top table of British politics, namely the Cabinet table. Why 23? Probably because that's how many prominent MPs you need on your side to ensure control of the wider government party in Parliament — although the conventional explanation is that it comes from the number of departments into which running a…
Goad (right) spent his worthless life trying to prove he was not gay and boring. He failed. Born 1961. Died 2026. Goad was long a "presence" on the Dissident Right, but wa s essentially just an "edgytarian" Boomer with little or no moral compass, rather tedious atheist views, and no identifiable ideology, although he tried to make himself amenable to Greg Johnson's "gay Nazi" clique in his final…
Argentina, a country named after the Latin word for silver, has, appropriately enough, won only the silver medal at this year's World Cup, and not the much more important shiny golden trophy. The country's name, which was made up as a kind of advert to attract low-IQ poor people in the 16th century, derives from the Latin word argentum, meaning "silver," "silvery" or "made of silver." Actually,…
Joshua Kerry, alleged killer of Ann Widdecombe It looks like the alleged killer of Ann Widdecombe, a leading member of Nigel Farage's Reform UK Party, is just another "quiet and shy" loner, this time one from a northern English council estate. Meet 28-year-old Joshua Kerry, arrested for the brutal slaying on July 8th of the 78-year-old politician and "reality TV" star, who was for many years a…
