The Deuce

"I have to tell Muslim voters, you can't just vote on religion and foreign policy." Why do they have to be told this, I wonder?

LATEST: 🚨 JPMORGAN SAYS CLARITY ACT FACES SHRINKING ODDS OF PASSING BEFORE MIDTERMS, CITING GROWING DISPUTES OVER STABLECOIN YIELD RULES

The trade Americans weren't allowed to make is now legal.

I can't prove this, but I am beyond convinced the British government pressures families of victims into putting out state-approved statements. They missed Henry's godmother which is why it's so raw and different.

When Iran ultimately is ready to give in, their lies will stop looking like this. If you're about to cave, you make it sound like your cave is the paragon of strength and virtue and guile. If you're holding out, you say you targeted an opposing destroyer in the Gulf of Oman.

There is a moment in every failing policy when the language gives the game away. The President supplied his on Wednesday. Asked in the Oval Office how he now defines the ceasefire he announced with Iran, he answered: “In that part of the world, ceasefire is when you’re shooting in a more moderate manner.” That is not a ceasefire. That is a confession. On the same afternoon he offered that definition, the Republican-led House he commands voted 215 to 208 to rein him in, passing a war powers resolution directing him to halt further hostilities against Iran. Four Republicans crossed the aisle to send it through. When a President’s own chamber votes to take the matches away, the fire is real. He dithered and bought the opposition at home and in Iran time to work against him. Consider how we arrived here. On February 28, American and Israeli forces struck Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure in a coordinated operation that, for one clarifying moment, put the Islamic Republic back on its heels. It was a winnable fight. We had the initiative, the firepower, and the moral clarity that comes from confronting a regime that, as even the Speaker reminded the House, declared war on us forty-seven years ago. Then we punted. What followed was not victory but a managed drift. A two-week ceasefire became open-ended. Talks collapsed without a deal. And while Washington congratulated itself on de-escalation, Iran did what Iran always does with a pause: it used the time. Tehran mined the Strait of Hormuz — the artery through which a fifth of the world’s oil and gas moves — and effectively closed it. The Pentagon now tells Congress it could take six months to clear those mines. Twenty percent of the world’s energy supply is now held hostage by a regime we had on the ropes and chose to let up. The drift has a body count. This week, Iran fired missiles and drones at Kuwait, Bahrain, and Iraq, striking American positions and civilian ones alike. A drone hit Kuwait’s international airport, killing a civilian and wounding dozens. Our Arab partners and the Israelis are left to absorb the blows of a war we started and declined to finish. That is the worst of both worlds: all the provocation, none of the resolution. ewerickson.substack.com/p/ae74cf58-44a…

Okay, guys, no more fake ceasefires.

Florida counts 90% of ballots in 1 hour and the other 10% that night California is at 55% two days later

What’s there to speculate on? A foreigner stabbed him, the family helped cover it up, and the police treated him like shit until he bled out. We don’t need to speculate we all saw it

Which implies there were negotiations before this one lol

Every Republican campaigned on keeping men out of girls sports. We made a promise to our voters. But now instead of delivering on those promises, Senate Republicans are caving to Democrats. I cannot support any bill on college sports that doesn’t include these basic protections and will vote No on the Protect College Sports Act. This is our one chance to get this done, we have to deliver.

@daveweigel What rep for competence? When have Dems ever had that?

A good part of Republican messaging is pointing at California in horror, and saying: “See? Elect Democrats and that’ll happen to you.” The monthlong vote count is not helping Dems’ rep for competence, which Dems are saying out loud recently.

Indeed. They don't take this seriously enough. You can't be the party of government and then tolerate the government performing so poorly. And there are 49 benchmarks against which to compare California. Why can't they meet any of them?

“It's an interesting situation, a foreign journalist accusing an active U.S. Army officer of racism while on a work visa to the United States. We think it will be an interesting discussion.” Mans is out here making the news already. Look at that!

These guys are obsessed with silencing us. It’s their only play. Kinda adorable tbh. Like a cat trying to catch the laser pointer. I always find it funny though. The U.K. accounts advocating for punishment due to online activity in such a cavalier way. They are SO used to having the cops show up to a citizen’s house over there and drag them away in irons for controversial posts. I feel so bad for them. But we are Americans. And you? Well… We don’t give a fuck about you and your opinions at all. 250 years and counting….

You Brits recently refused visas to a slew of American citizens based on their speech. Didn't see any protest from the Economist about that. And yes it would be hilarious if people had to use currency based on their ethnicity. "We only take cowrie shells from your type, sir."

@JimBriton @RupertLowe10 @LogicalUKGB Frankly, if there is to be favoritism shown to any race in law, it should be towards the white race, because we have objectively done so much more for the betterment of mankind than any other.

@RupertLowe10 @LogicalUKGB There’s nothing wrong with being white. To the contrary, we should be proud to be white. No other race has done as much for the world as white folks.

The rife anti-white filth that has infected Britain goes so much further than the police - that cancer runs much, much deeper. Young white men - treated like dirt exactly because they are white. It is blatant racism, and politicians should have the courage to say so. Our institutions now seem perfectly comfortable judging people by the colour of their skin, provided that skin happens to be white. Universities. Hospitals. Councils. Military. Police. It is EVERYWHERE. White British men are told we are privileged regardless of our circumstances. We are told we should sit quietly by whilst opportunities, resources and funds are deliberately allocated to ethnic minorities. I say no. Enough. This has happened as a white British boy died in the street, begging for help. Ignored and left to die, because an ethnic minority murderer accused him of racism. But outlining the issue is not enough. Not now. No more talk. We need solutions. Identifying the rot is only the beginning. Here is what a Restore Britain Government will do to rip it out. - Repeal the Equality Act 2010 in full, and repeal the laws it replaced, especially the various iterations of the Race Relations Act. Initially sold as a simple non-discrimination duty in public places, these Acts have over time amounted to a series of escalating discriminatory attacks on white people. The 2000 amendment imposed a statutory duty upon public bodies to ‘promote racial equality’ following the MacPherson Report. We’re told this Act supposedly prohibits racial discrimination, but the principles it enshrined in law are now being used to promote racial discrimination against white people. It is unacceptable, and has reached far beyond its original remit. The Equality Act 2010 consolidated all of the previous Race Relations Acts into one anti-white monstrosity. - Repeal all laws which punish ‘racist’ speech, including Part III of the Public Order Act 1986 - which criminalises ‘incitement to racial hatred’. - Repeal law which requires courts to treat racial hostility as an aggravating factor when sentencing offences. - Replace it all with one simple act that ensures every British citizen is equal before the law and positively outlaws anti-white discrimination, so as to prevent activist judges from reading their own prejudices into the law. - Ban race-based, sex-based and religion-based quotas in public bodies and private companies. - Prohibit recruitment schemes restricted to particular ethnic groups. - End mandatory DEI training across government, local authorities, police and NHS bodies. - Ban positive discrimination in hiring and promotion. - Outlaw race-specific graduate schemes and internships. - End taxpayer funding for DEI officers or schemes across the entire public sector. Restore Britain is committed to rooting out all laws, practices, and norms that systematically discriminate against white people. It will end. I promise you that. A Restore Britain Government will restore fairness for all. That includes white people.

The clips Vickrum Digwa filmed of Henry Nowak as he was dying were “too shocking” even to be shown in court. The jurors had and the British public have every right to see them, just like the French public had every right to know the full horror of what happened at the Bataclan.

It’s pretty wild that Lebanon and Israel want peace, but a terrorist organization has hijacked Lebanon so it can’t (or won’t) make its own decisions.
