Outstanding article from Jim Spence. Pity he didn't stick with politics. He would make a difference.

🚨THIS RIGHT HERE: Hakeem Jeffries just OBLITERATED Republicans on redistricting strategy and says Democrats are just getting started. He slammed them for spending years aggressively gerrymandering districts across the country. “Republicans have concluded that they need to cheat to win... we’re not gonna unilaterally disarm, not now, not ever.” “And this redistricting war is just getting started.”

Sweet Jesus, America has fallen so low...down into the gutters with the 🐀rats and 💩filth.! An American "president" in name only is tickled shitless and euphoric that his personal attorney Todd Blanche helped him stay out of jail despite all of his indictments. They BOTH belong in prison. Blanche is a traitor to the Constitution.

Professor James Mitchell pans Sturgeon's new book. “Dishonest”, “revisionism”, and a £300k advance to rewrite the record whilst hoping nobody notices. 👊💥 scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/…

I care. These men are monsters

The Taliban has banned women from speaking to each other in public. Did anyone hear the UN condemn it? Did anyone hear from women's organizations? Did anyone hear from world leaders? Does anyone care, or do they only care when Israel is involved?

Bit of an update to MSP/visa stories... BBC Scotland News understands that any MSP who loses the right to stay in the UK would NOT be able to carry on as an MSP. They would be disqualified from sitting in the Scottish Parliament.

JUDGE NIRMAL SHANT ⛔️⛔️⛔️ This is a judge that places a banning order on letting the public know it was an illegal immigrant who raped one of Britain's children! A jury convicted Pakistani Sheraz Malik of two counts of rape of a teenage girl. The trial heard he took turns with his friend raping the teenager, before asking her: 'Did you enjoy that?' The distraught victim even begged a friend via text to 'please help me' as she was preyed upon by the beasts. Malik was living in luxury 4 star hotel accommodation at the time, having spent periods living in Italy, Germany, and France before arriving in the UK. When you import dangerous predators you must accept the responsibility when they commit sexual violence on our shores.

Incredible stuff from an erstwhile incumbent of the FM office who had her house raided by police,was taken in for questioning, her spouse and colleague was then arrested and she filed for divorce.

@andrewlearmonth @heraldscotland @_RebeccaMcCurdy 3 young off-duty soldiers from Scotland were lured to their deaths by the IRA and murdered in cold blood at the side of the road in Belfast. To this day Irish nationalists attack their memorial stone. You might want to move on, Irish nationalists don’t. Shame on you.

⚠️ Dariusz Sicinski, 33, who repeatedly stalked a 16YO girl at a Wiltshire bus stop on her way to college, has walked free. The girl has since suffered serious anxiety and distress and has dropped out of college. Defence said Sicinski had 'previous good character' and moved to UK in 2014 to join his parents, "always worked hard and never claimed benefits". So what? I don't care. Jail him - then deport him. Prosecution rightly said - "Members of the public who offend in the way the defendant has need to know that if you stalk a young teenage girl, you will be robustly dealt with at court" Well he wasn't - and perverts know they can target and terrify young girls in the UK and walk free. Sickening. 🤬

Scotland is the only country on earth where ‘just here on a student visa’ is apparently a pathway to becoming a parliamentary legislator. Absolute Holyrood clown show.

Breaking: Muslim terrorists just stormed a Christian village in Nigeria and unleashed pure demonic savagery on innocent families who couldn’t run fast enough to escape. They captured pregnant women and hacked their bellies open with machetes — forcing the young women to witness their own unborn babies die right in front of them as they succumbed to fatal stab wounds. All because they were Christians who refused to convert to Islam. No one in the international community, UN, EU, ICC, or ICJ seems to care. Not even Christian leaders in the West. Please pray for the persecuted Christians in Nigeria. 💔💔💔💔

In 1943, Canada erased a hospital room from existence to save a royal baby — and Europe's oldest monarchy thanked them with flowers that still bloom 80 years later. The Nazis had taken Holland. Crown Princess Juliana of the Netherlands had fled across the Atlantic with her daughters, finding refuge in Ottawa while her homeland burned. Now she was pregnant — and that pregnancy had triggered a constitutional crisis no government had ever faced. The problem was brutally simple: If this baby was born on Canadian soil, Canadian law would grant automatic citizenship. And the ancient laws governing Dutch royal succession were unforgiving. Any hint of foreign citizenship could disqualify this child from ever ascending to the throne. Sending her home wasn't an option. German U-boats prowled the waters. The royal palace in The Hague had swastikas hanging from its windows. So Canada's lawyers did something that belongs in a novel, not a history book. On January 19, 1943, the Canadian government issued an Order in Council that rewrote reality. The maternity suite at Ottawa Civic Hospital was declared extraterritorial. Not Canadian. Not Dutch. Not part of any nation on Earth. For the span of a birth, that room existed in a legal void — a pocket of nowhere wrapped in hospital walls. Princess Margriet was born into that impossible space. The moment she drew breath, she was Dutch — purely, legally, unquestionably Dutch. No competing allegiance. No threat to her royal destiny. The lawyers closed their books. The doctors smiled. And then, as quietly as it had vanished, the room became Canadian again. The war ended. Holland was liberated. And the Dutch Royal Family didn't just say thank you — they said it in a language that would outlive everyone who spoke it. In 1945, 100,000 tulip bulbs arrived in Ottawa. Not as decoration. As gratitude made tangible. But one shipment wasn't enough to express what Canada had done. So they kept sending them. Every single year since 1945, the Dutch Royal Family sends 20,000 more bulbs to the Canadian capital. Today, if you walk through Ottawa every May, you'll find over three million tulips blazing along the Rideau Canal, flooding through Commissioners Park, turning the city into rivers of crimson, gold, and violet. Most people who stop to take photos have no idea they're standing in the middle of a thank-you note that's been growing for eight decades. Princess Margriet is 83 now. She still makes the journey to Ottawa during tulip season, walking through gardens that exist because she was once born in a room that legally didn't. Some acts of kindness become gardens. Some thank-yous outlive everyone who gave them. And some flowers bloom forever.

Karma comes in the shape of a hoof print firmly placed in the face when the horse had finally had enough. The owner kept pulling and holding its tail until the animal snapped — and with one powerful kick, it made its frustration very clear. 🎯
