Watching the death-throes of a nation:

‘Outrage as school calls police after pupil looks at Ukip website in class
A SCHOOLBOY was hauled out of class and interrogated by detectives after politically correct teachers reported him to the POLICE for visiting the UKIP website…’
And the usual weasel-words from the police after the unexpected publicity:
‘..Hampshire Police said they had informal contact with the pupil after concerns were raised about his internet usage.
A spokeswoman said the contact was not solely down to accessing the Ukip website but said that may have come up during the discussion.
Hampshire Police and the school were happy that no formal action needed to be taken…’

‘ No, 150,000 penguins were NOT killed by global warming’

James Delingpole on the originator of this fairytale:
‘..If Professor Chris Turney sounds familiar that’s because you’ve met him before. He was the guy in charge of the infamous 2014 Ship of Fools expedition to Antarctica – the one where a research boat full of tourists, climate scientists and Guardian journalists set sail to the Antarctic to prove the existence of “global warming” and ended up getting stranded in unexpectedly thick ice.
Amazingly this man is still in post as Professor of Climate Change and Earth Sciences at the University of New South Wales where his job is to help us “better understand the causes and impacts of future environmental change.”
Does he not know the meaning of the phrase “dignified silence”? Or indeed: “Study; bottle of whisky; service pistol”?…’

‘Good Sense from an Unpalatable Man’

From Quadrant online:
‘Alone among US presidential hopefuls, Donald Trump has pledged to scuttle the gold-plated boondoggle that is the F-35, the irregularly airborne essence of everything that is wrong with defence procurement in both the US and Australia. The other candidates? They’ve all been bought and paid for.
…Anyone still puzzled by the rise of Donald Trump should consider this fact: Congress voted that the 2016 Defense Budget include 10 F-35s beyond the number requested by the Pentagon. These unsought additions come at a cost of US$1.33 billion when the United States is saddled with much debt and the budget can’t stretch to all the things the US military actually does need. The House of Representatives and the Senate have been controlled by the Republican Party since the mid-term elections of November, 2014. So the extra 10 F-35s are a gift from the Republican establishment to Lockheed Martin….
…Lockheed Martin maintains a stable of 95 lobbyists in Washington. Lockheed Martin’s board includes a former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Joseph Ralston, and a former Commander, Air Force Materiel Command, Bruce Carlson. Nearly one in ten members of the House of Representatives belongs to the F-35 caucus…’

And still there are those who want this?

One has to wonder what sort of mental illness a person must be afflicted with to still insist that socialism is even a viable system,let alone a successful one.Especially in light of all the evidence to the contrary,even in recent history.I spotted this write up today over at COTR reminding us of a time not long ago where we had a glaring black and white comparison available for all to see.

‘Is Your Bacon Sandwich Oppressing Women?

And so, breathless with anticipation, we return to the pages of Everyday Feminism, where questions of cosmic import are chewed over, and where Celia Edell, a self-described “24-year-old feminist philosopher interested in social justice,” shares the many things learned by her over many, many years.
…Does feminism require vegetarianism? This is something I am asked about often…’
