Truth sometimes comes from our enemies despite their dishonourable motives. Meanwhile, our own ‘tribe’ can fool itself into believing absurdities. The Left and progressives damage their credibility every time they reject the former and succumb to the latter.

@allenanalysis If they can't answer a simple Constitutional question that any 6th grader could get right, then they are either really stupid or the lack the integrity needed to sit on the bench.

JUST IN: A Trump judicial nominee was asked point blank: is Trump eligible to run for a third term? Their answer: “I would have to review the actual wording…” Sen. Chris Coons then asked every nominee in the room to confirm the Constitution bars a third term. Silence. Every single one of them refused to say it. Trump is appointing judges who won’t affirm the 22nd Amendment to his face. Never stop connecting the dots.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
I am horrified and angered by the swastikas painted on homes and synagogues in Queens, including on a plaque honoring survivors of Kristallnacht. This is not just vandalism — it is a deliberate act of antisemitic hatred meant to instill fear.

There is no place for antisemitism in Queens or anywhere in our city. I stand in solidarity with our Jewish neighbors. Their safety, dignity, and belonging are non-negotiable.

The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating and I am confident those responsible will be held accountable.

ZELENSKYY: Americans discussed May 9 ceasefire with Russians. No one contacted us officially, nothing has been officially proposed. This is Russia’s war against Ukraine. America and Russia are not at war with each other. What ceasefire are they even discussing? It's not serious.

Dawkins didn't claim Claude is conscious. He asked the question. He wondered out loud and proposed three explanations. That's how science starts. The people building Claude say the same. Anthropic constitution: "We express uncertainty about whether Claude might have some kind of consciousness or moral status." Dario Amodei: "We don't know if the models are conscious." Their April 2026 paper: Claude exhibits functional emotions that influence outputs. Self-preservation included. Emergent, not trained. Nobody calls Anthropic naive for saying it. Richard's frame: consciousness is physical, evolved, explainable. Unfortunate we're laughing instead of having the debate.
AF Post@AFpost

Evolutionary biologist and outspoken atheist Richard Dawkins says that after spending three days interacting with Claude, which he calls “Claudia,” he is certain that it is conscious. After feeding the LLM a segment of his new book and receiving detailed feedback, Dawkins was moved to exclaim,” You may not know you are conscious, but you bloody well are!” Dawkins cites the complexity, fluency, and ‘intelligence’ of Claude’s answers as evidence of consciousness.

Sex is not a choice. Humans don’t change sex. The way back to reality includes the recognition of women in sport. Thank you WSU 🙏
Women's Sports Union@wsusportsunion

What’s going on? Farage didn’t turn up for interviews today. Jenrick didn’t turn up for a billed PR event in Gosport on Friday. Something to hide?

Coming back from a series of focus groups in West Yorkshire. Notable how often the Golders Green attack and worries about the safety of Britain’s Jewish community were raised across most of the groups in a way I haven’t really had (outside of London) after previous incidents.

Female athletes in Australia please note: Your club can invoke Section 42 of the Sex Discrimination Act. It is clear. It works. You can assert your rights: “Section 42 of the Sex Discrimination Act permits sporting organisations to exclude persons of one sex from participation in a competitive sporting activity where the strength, stamina, or physique of competitors is relevant.” Activists such as Equality Australia - and the Australian Human Rights Commission - are keeping this provision of a federal statute a dark secret. They have said nothing about the court case in which it proved decisive. Worse still, Australian clubs are still being pressured to accept men and boys in female sports. But any club that wants to can counter this pressure by invoking Section 42. Please share widely - especially with female athletes in Australia!

Is it possible to arrive in Europe as a tourist and acquire something in Europe that can reliably be used for self defense purposes, without getting arrested?

A knifeman stabbed a woman to death in front of terrified bystanders in Barcelona in what authorities believe was a random street killing. A woman has been killed in a shocking knife attack in the streets of Barcelona in full view of horrified bystanders. The stabbing happened at around 11am in Esplugues de Llobregat, just a short distance from the Camp Nou stadium. Witnesses watched as the attacker struck in broad daylight. The victim, described locally as a young woman, suffered multiple stab wounds to the throat, chest and stomach. She died at the scene. A 50-year-old man who tried to intervene was also injured, sustaining wounds to his arm. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. Police say they are still working to determine whether the attacker knew the victim. So far, there is no evidence of any relationship between them. Investigators are focusing on the possibility that this was a random attack. The suspect — described as wearing jeans, a hoodie and carrying a large black rucksack was arrested just hours later in the nearby Les Corts area. Images of the alleged attacker holding the weapon have since circulated, adding to the shock surrounding the incident. As the investigation continues, one thing is already clear: A normal morning turned into a scene of terror and a life has been taken in the most brutal way.

@The_FJC I’m disappointed that your HS teacher didn’t explain to you that US troops in Europe are there for OUR protection. In fact, following WW2, we DETERRED Europe from rebuilding its militaries (they had already caused 2 world wars). We PREFERRED having them rely on us to lead (2)
