ON PATRIOTISM:
“Human beings, in their settled condition, are animated by oikophilia: the love of the oikos, which means not only the home but the people contained in it, and the surrounding settlements that endow that home with lasting contours and an enduring smile.”
? Roger Scruton, How to Be a Conservative
I REPEAT: “Love of the people contained in it!”
This sentiment separates a conservative from the “tolerant” left that hate the land, its founding, its culture, language, religions, currency, literature, art, history and legacy, and its people! The left hates you, hates period. Hate is their nature.
James Lindsey came to fame having coined the “WOKE LEFT” – the “oppressor-versus-oppressed worldview” – and continued – “his relentless criticism of gender ideology…”His provocative style earned Lindsay a wave of pushback, including “cancellation” when he was banned from what was then known as Twitter in 2022.
“But after Elon Musk reopened his account later that year, Lindsay said he began to notice a new “woke war” stirring on the opposite side of the political spectrum.
“I lived through this once on the left, and I‘m living through it again on the right, and it‘s identical,” Lindsay told the Deseret News. “It‘s not similar; it‘s the same.”
AGB: Both the woke right and the woke left are grievance-race-religion-based, pushing the politics of envy and resentment. In many cases both are racists! In other words the polar opposites are two sides of the same coin, and are fundamentally “progressive.” What they spew is not, and has never been, conservative: to conserve what is good.
“…the biggest conservative critics of “wokeness,” including (Jordan) Peterson and James Lindsay, insisted that without guardrails American conservatism could be hijacked by those with its worst impulses, leading the anti-woke right to fall prey to the same vices it once condemned.”
“What Lindsay saw was growing momentum among Trump supporters who he believed were mimicking wokeism‘s emphasis on systemic inequality, race-based victimhood and in-group policing.”
On the right we see the same, “otherism.
This writer wrote about it months ago:
MAGA is not Tucker Carlson & Co; and Tucker Carlson & Co is not MAGA!
Whereas the “woke left” framed the West as an intrinsically racist place where minority groups are subject to obstacles created by a white ruling class, the “woke right” decried an America in decline where white Christians are targeted by a globalist conspiracy (Ed: often of an ”otherism” religion or people) that threatens traditional values.
These opposing worldviews are structurally indistinguishable from each other because they both rely on critical theory’s focus on group identity and power dynamics, Lindsay said. He pointed to his most recent stunt as proof.”
“Anybody on the right who‘s basically pushing for Machiavellian power plays is probably woke right,” Lindsay said. “You have to covet power to be woke.”
And after having done a whole lotta’ coveting, Tucker Qatarlson still does not represent MAGA. The fellow who does is arming Ukraine and Israel to the hilt, and doesn’t give a flying f..k about what Qatarlson or CONdace think.

ON MY RETURN FROM “PALESTINE,” THE ONE IN THE CLOUD BECAUSE THAT’S THE ONLY PLACE A NATION CALLED PALESTINE EVER EXISTED, TO MY CHAGRIN I SAW A POSTER THAT DISCLOSED THE SECRET ONLY THOSE WHO’VE BEEN LIVING IN A CAVE DURING THE LAST HALF CENTURY DIDN’T KNOW:
The only genocide in human history where the population of the region kept growing undisturbed during and after the genocide than before the genocide began.
The Muslim Brotherhood Chronicles will always come up with surprises – it’s a gift that never stops giving.

IN OTHER NEWS:
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris had to postpone her Global Book Tour meant to explain how she blew 2 1/2 billion dollars just to lose to Donald Trump who didn’t spend a quarter that amount. While trying to dodge the question why no one liked her, she also tried to explain how she blew others, but her words came out unintelligible because her brain was empty and her mouth was full.
Pressing her to her knees on this issue, Wolf Blitzer of CNN questioned the real reason why she’s cancelling the tour and why she’s writing a book about losing as her opponent is winning everywhere else.
Kamala opined with a series of snorts, cackles, chuckles, guffaws and giggles, and a word salad from her book written in fluent Ebonics. With an ear-to-ear grin flashing the whitest teeth this side of the Missouri, she let Wolf in on the inside scoop: all the liquor shops were closed on her way to the airport terminal and she missed her flight.

“Given that Europe’s legacy to the world consists in the two great goods of Christianity and democracy, it is hardly surprising if the EU no longer has the endorsement of the European people, even if it has created a network of clients upon whose support it can always rely.”

Tish Out of Luck
Judge Engoron, a certifiable psycho (easily determined if one looked at his face), convicted Donald Trump on the premise that harm might happen for a similar application in the future – (even though the defendant Trump caused no harm to anyone, especially not to the State that prosecuted him).
Andrew Benjamin, whose imaginary law license is up for sale at eBay at a steep discount, gives his legal opinion. Take it for what it’s worth: Guilt and liability can only be assessed lwafully for harm that has happened, not for what “might” happen.
This psycho judge might become a serial killer by next March, or the latest by April. Never mind, Benjamin takes that back, after all another psycho became president in 2008. Anything is possible, even that Trish will be the first black woman Pope by next Thursday the latest – after she gets out of Ron DeSantis’ Alligator Motel. OK, I may have gone too far here. If not Pope, she’ll get a job at the Macy’s Thanksgivings Day Parade as a float.
“In New York, a court revealed that a leading citizen had cooked the books by inflating questionable figures without any support in reality. Moreover, his wild overvaluation was widely viewed as motivated by his self-aggrandizement. The final reported figures are so absurdly inflated that they were rejected in their entirety. In the end, he was off by over half a billion dollars.
That man is Judge Arthur Engoron.”
NY POST:
Trump rips trial judge whose $500M penalty was erased in its entirety
The New York Appellate Division tossed the penalty, ruling the fine was excessive and violated the Eighth Amendment.
With respect to the valuation of Mar-a-Lago, as an appraiser of considerable experience (almost two decades) I can certify that Trump’s latter valuation of his property of a half billion dollars is reasonble. As for his 2020 valuation of $27 million, take it from me: Palm Beach is not Camden, New Jersey, from where Letitia James & Crew probably came. Beachfront property in Trump’s neighborhood sold nearby in recent years show supportable comparables. As for the psycho Da Judge: one cannot buy a closet in Palm Beach for Trump’s 2020 valuation of the property.
Never mind one with an 18 hole golf course, five sets of clubs, a world class smirk, a thinning orange overcomb, plummie hands, a gait that resembles that of a Tynnosaurus Rex,’ and a supermodel wife. Trump will probably sue the porcine jiggling sack of lard NY AG, Trish da’ Dish, out of existence. And the State too, for malicious prosecution and the violation of civil rights, making him a seriously richer man than he is already. At the end, Trish Da’ Dish may acquire a third home in a cardboard box condo under the Brooklyn Bridge – after she forfeits the other two she now owns to Donald Trump.
Due to the flight of business and the wealthy and the influx of millions of welfare recipient Hispanic and Arabic-speaking migrants who will vote reliably Democrat, going broke New Yorkers will pay up. So will every other New York City dweller not wealthy, but left behind. After which White Americans across the nation will, in a massive act of Social Justice, be replaced by Hispanic and Ebonics-speaking people who will only eat Arabic food flown in from Dearborn.

Meanwhile Democrats revealed the disastrous results of Trump’s crackdown on Washington DC crime. Democrat media (meaning just about all the media) say that the crackdown was an epic failure, having recorded not a single murder over an entire uneventful 11 days. CNN’s panel of Democrat operatives channeled the C&W tune: “That’s our story and we’re sticking to it!”
“For the first time ever in DC history, for an entire week since the crackdown,” MSNBC announced: “we sadly report there was not a single Democrat shot dead by other Democrats. This unsustainable situation is completely Trump’s fault.”
According to the New York Times, this predictable eventuality of putting cops on the streets was just another Trump collusion with reality, and add to the series of crimes that Trump perpetrated by stealing the presidency from Mamala, and earlier Hillary, preventing these women from advancing to the job for which they were entitled and well pants-suited. Stopping crime in DC and soon in other cities unfairly benefited the nation to the detriment of California’s great governor Oldsome who obviously has a Great Shock of Hair – if nothing else useful.
Oldsome proved the effectiveness of his policies in a state where the crime and homeless cities are continuously rising; and people are continuously moving out to Texas and Florida. When Oldsome becomes president, he will use the same strategy so everyone with a shirt still left can move out of the nation.
In a teleconference between legacy media who wear TRUMP IS NOT MY PRESIDENT lapel pins, CNN bosses advised the Washington Post and the NY Times to leave this story unreported. CNN told its colleagues that, since “we all stopped reporting real news on November 8th 2008, and substituted it with Hope and No Change Left, why start now?”
The panel agreed: Trump’s disastrous policy of stopping crime must end now before another week of this travesty continues to keep the nation’s capital safe. DC’s Democrat mayor hopes to raise the crime rate again to normal levels of blood-letting as soon as Trump leaves office. Meanwhile, she will encourage tourists to visit other American cities instead, where heaps of dead citizens and tourists are piled up on the sidewalks.

This Must Be Why Liberal Women Are Bonkers
Liberal women are kinda nuts. Have you noticed? Well, a new study out of Quebec, published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research, might shed some light on the reason why.
The researchers found that women who have abortions are more than twice as likely to end up hospitalized for psychiatric problems compared to women who carry their pregnancies to term. This isn’t some fringe finding; it’s based on a massive study tracking over 1.2 million pregnancies for up to 17 years.

WAR CRIMES, ETHNIC CLEANSING, APARTHEID, WALLS, ISLAMOPHOBIA!
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE: MARCO RUBIO, SECRETARY OF STATE – NEWS RELEASE
“Today, I am designating Solomy Balungi Bossa of Uganda, Luz del Carmen Ibáñez Carranza of Peru, Reine Adelaide Sophie Alapini Gansou of Benin, and Beti Hohler of Slovenia pursuant to President Trump’s Executive Order 14203, “Imposing Sanctions on the International Criminal Court.” These individuals directly engaged in efforts by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute nationals of the United States or Israel, without consent from the United States or Israel. Neither the United States nor Israel is party to the Rome Statute.
As ICC judges, these four individuals have actively engaged in the ICC’s illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America or our close ally, Israel. The ICC is politicized and falsely claims unfettered discretion to investigate, charge, and prosecute nationals of the United States and our allies. This dangerous assertion and abuse of power infringes upon the sovereignty and national security of the United States and our allies, including Israel.
The United States will take whatever actions we deem necessary to protect our sovereignty, that of Israel, and any other U.S. ally from illegitimate actions by the ICC.
I call on the countries that still support the ICC, many of whose freedom was purchased at the price of great American sacrifices to fight this disgraceful attack on our nation and Israel.”
SCREENGRAB – MIDDLE EAST EYE
(AGB Translation: Rubio’s statement means the ICC and ICJ, politicized and staffed mainly by envious and resentful TURD WORLD parasites, entitled lefties who’ve never done anything useful in their entire lives, and proto-jihadis – candidate MB members – has no jurisdiction over the USA or Israel. Neither signed up for the treaty between nations that are dying to be ruled by unelected bureaucrats and Islamists of other nations. I refer to nations that signed up who have no self-respect, just like the TURD World autocrats at the ICC who would indict, arrest and rule free people who refuse to be ruled by a bunch of dried out c-nts.)
Meanwhile:
Shortly after the ICC accused Israel’s courts of a conflict of interest if it were to pursue the fake genocide charges against Netanyahu (a leftwing Israeli court that tried to incarcerate the prime minister just recently). To prove itself on the right side of justice having no conflict of interest, the ICC suspended its own investigation into the Jewhating serial rapist Muslim prosecutor and his Jewhating Muslim victim, because the rape of other people’s wifes, daughters and mothers is permitted in “certain circles” – especially in circles that don’t like Israel much – and no one else is complaining.
So much for the court I covered HERE.

Joshua Hoffman@SUBSTACK answers the UN’s Hague Courts ICC & ICJ, below my words:
“It shocked the souls of humanity, the world should absolutely be outraged, the world should be shamed” – uttered with convincing self-righteousness the “human rights” activists representing South Africa. The ones kissing Yasser Arafat who invented the Palestinians in 1964 with the Soviet KGB. They wore the African colors to court, having left their keffiyehs at home.
One hypocrite was followed with similar balderdash by another white-wig-wearing, black-robed, French-speaking antisemite standing in front of the International Court of Injustice.
“The souls of humanity should be shocked,” voiced these Hamas-and-Qatar-financed operatives, terrorists in black robes, bringing the case against the victim, Israel; a case, brought not against the perpetrators that started the carnage October 7th, but rather against the defenders of the victims of October 7th…
The crime? Israel is preventing the repeat of the intended genocide of that horrific day by those who promised to repeat it over and over.” – LINK
I could continue with the Qatarlsonite True Believers, the UN’s Human Rights Council…as well as the Jihadis of Mohammed. But I’ll just let Joshua Hoffman end it with:
“You hate that Israel exists. Not because of its policies. Not because of land. You hated us before 1948, before a single border was drawn. What you hate is that the Jew now has power. A standing army. A government. A home. You preferred us weak, wandering, dependent on your pity — or your permission to live. Israel is the ultimate Jewish response to 2,000 years of homelessness, humiliation, and massacre.
You hate that we don’t ask permission anymore. That we don’t wait for the world’s sympathy to defend ourselves. You hate that we build, we innovate, we revive ancient languages and make deserts bloom. You hate that Jewish self-determination is real, and thriving, and permanent.
And here’s what scares you the most: Israel is not a reaction to the Holocaust; it is the insurance policy against the next one.”

THE KREMLIN AGREES TO MAKE PEACE AS SOON AS IT FINISHED UP WITH WIPING OUT UKRAINE AND BEFORE IT INVADES POLAND
Contrary to rumors that Vladimir Putin has anything against Volodymyr Brzezinski of Ukraine, or whatever his real name is, Russia never invaded Ukraine. It only invaded parts of former Ukraine that was Russia to begin with – as is the rest of Ukraine, Poland, Moldavia, Serbia, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Slovania, Croatia, Hungary, and Finland. East Germany is also Russia, the Kremlin spokesman added. And maybe Turkey and Dearborn, Michigan, he said, although admittedly “we might pass on the last. We are sick of kababs.”
Which reminds this writer of his meeting with Danny Ayalon, Israeli ambassador to the United States, who told us of his arriving at the Kremlin with Israeli PM Ariel Sharon, to whom Ayalon was then-attaché.
From the time the two Israelis stepped off the plane, Putin welcomed them at the airport . The two were driven to the Kremlin in Putin’s BEAST. In the limo Vlad turned to Sharon and said: “Ariel, why don’t you just give the land to the Palestinians?” Sharon kept mum. To make a long story short, Putin kept pressing the Israelis the entire day, over and over, to give up their homeland to 19th century Southern Syrian, Transjodanian, Lebanese and Egyptian Jihadis, settlers, and colonizers who settled in for jobs the Zionists gave them; folks speaking Arabic, in a nation that spoke Hebrew for 3500 years.
At the end of the day Sharon lost his temper from Putin’s tirades and, sitting in front of the desk behind which sat Putin, and behind whom was a gigantic map of Russia plastered to the wall, Sharon said, “Vlad, why don’t you stop trying to seize the Kuril Islands?” (which the Japanese consider Japanese territory and which Russia is threatening.) Sharon added, “Look at Russia Vlad, it’s gigantic – the landmass is huge! Israel is tiny. What can we give away? Seriously Vladimir, you really want more land that was never yours and you tell me to give up our tiny sliver?”
Putin looked behind him at the map, sighed, smiled, gazed back at Sharon and Ayalon, and said, “How do you think we got this big?”

“People settle by acquiring a first-person plural – a place, a community and a way of life that is ‘ours’. The need for this ‘we’ is not accepted by internationalists, by revolutionary socialists, or by intellectuals wedded to the Enlightenment’s timeless, placeless vision of the ideal community. But it is a fact, and indeed the primary fact from which all community and all politics begin. George Orwell noticed this, during the course of the Second World War. The disloyalty of the left intelligentsia was, for Orwell, all the more evident and all the more shocking, when set beside the simple, dogged ‘we’ of the ordinary people. And the real political choice, about which Orwell had no hesitation, was whether to join the intellectuals in their work of destruction, or to stand by the ordinary people in defending their country in its hour of need.”
