Christmas Markets Terrorized, Vandalized; Must Be December In Europe

 

It’s that special, joyous, and wondrous time of year again. Snow is falling softly and Christmas markets across Europe are being ravaged by waves of vandalism and preparing for terror attacks. Whether via vehicular, bomb, or knife attacks, radical Islamists targeting Christmas markets has nearly become a tradition unto itself. As has the specter of a group of young Middle Eastern men sexually harassing or raping European women. Some markets have decided not to open this year while others have beefed up their security. Why put up with this?

Geert Wilders, leader of the Netherlands’ Party for Freedom and one of the last honest politicians in Western Europe, recently stated: “[The] Christmas market in Brussels turns into an Islamic hell. Elsewhere in Europe, Christmas markets are being extra guarded. The result of decades of open borders. We must stop the Islamization of the West. Freedom instead of terror. Islam does not belong to us.”

If, as progressives are wont to say, everyone is the same and no one society is inherently better than any other, why is it that there are few if any “American rape gangs” targeting Pakistani girls? Why aren’t Muslim religious venues and events routinely the target of, say, radical Catholics or Lutherans? I am obviously not advocating for this but merely asking the question.

I will go on record again: the only reason a person or group claiming to hate America and its alleged bigotry, racism, Islamophobia, etc., would want to come—and stay—here is to “fundamentally transform” it or destroy it. There can be no other. The same goes for Western European nations.

Violence, vandalism, and terrorist acts seem, if possible, even more vile at this time of year with families taking in holiday displays and feeling the warmth of the season. Peace on Earth and Goodwill Towards Men?

The truth of the matter is that diversity is not our strength and tolerance is not necessarily a virtue.

It would be a great gift to all of us if our leaders realized this and had the courage to act on it.

On the twelfth day of Christmas Liberals smiled to see

Twelve liars lying, eleven hucksters huckstering

Ten drag queens a-prancing, nine non-binaries dancing, eight NGOs a-bilking

Seven scandals a-hiding, six seditious asshats……five olden Reps

Four rapists raping, three Christmas markets bombed

Two assassination attempts, and a terrorist behind a Yule tree

 

Democrat Rep. Says Somalis, Indians, Latin Americans "Built This Country" And Made It "What It Is Today"

 

Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal recently appeared on MS NOW’s “Ana Cabrera Reports” show to claim  that deporting Somalians will hurt America economically. This in the face of the massive Minnesota scandals involving Somalis and more than a billion dollars in fraud.

What did we here in America do before all the Somalis came here in the past two or three decades? Oh yeah, we defeated the British and became the strongest, freest, greatest country the Earth had ever known, with more entrepreneurs and inventions to our credit than any other nation. Yet, now we are being massively defrauded by Somalis (among a few others), over half of whom are on the public dole. In no way, shape, or form would deporting every last Somali be a negative for the U.S. economy.

Jayapal said: “The majority of Americans across the country, regardless of political party, know that immigrants from all over the world, Somalia, India, wherever they’re from, Latin America, Africa, that immigrants have built this country and make this country what it is today and so Americans are not accepting this.” Sure, Pramila. Now tell us the one about the three bears.

A Monty Python skit once asked the question, “Did the Romans build Manhattan?” Jayapal’s statement of “fact” was no less ridiculous.

Unless you recall how Somalis built the Hoover Dam. And the Golden gate Bridge. And our interstate highway system. Which would be weird given that they couldn’t do any of these things back home in Somalia, and, in fact, are unable to build and maintain any kind of a functioning society.

So, did Indians (of the Subcontinent variety) construct the Sears Tower? Did Ethiopians build Hollywood? Are Pakistanis responsible for the Transcontinental Railroad? Did Afghanis construct Disneyland? Sea World? Neither Ford, General Motors, Amazon, AT&T, or Costco were founded and built primarily by “undocumented” immigrants from Third World nations.

So, let’s cut the bullsh*t, Jayapal. The immigrants that came here for most of the first 200 years of our existence came here looking only for a chance, not a welfare check. They came here looking to be an “American,” and only an American. The vast majority were deeply proud when they were granted citizenship. Almost none trashed the country to which they had come. These are the people—Americans—that made the country what it is today. You want to make it what it will be tomorrow if people like you get your wish: a failed state.

Vermont School District Raises Somali Flag

 

The Winooski School District, located in western Vermont, recently raised a Somali flag above its grounds. The district has three flagpoles, and chose to raise the Somali flag on one, along with the U.S. flag and the state’s flag. After systemic, massive, and historic fraud has been uncovered directly involving the Somali community in Minnesota. And as similar fraud is being uncovered in Vermont itself. To call this amazing chutzpah would be an understatement. It is a middle finger, hoisted and held high, and directed at law-abiding American citizens and taxpayers.

The district said, via a Dec. 5 Facebook post, "We are raising the Somali flag this week in honor of our Somali youth and families in Winooski and Vermont. On Monday, we will be gathering to celebrate together and to learn more about our civil rights." Whose civil rights? Those of the Somali immigrants or of the native taxpayers?

In response to the understandably controversial move, the Winooski School District commented thusly on its original post: "The Somali flag is being flown for one week as a gesture of support for our Somali students and families. Winooski is a proudly diverse community, and we are committed to recognizing and uplifting all of the cultures that make our district stronger." Make the district stronger or poorer? More united or more at odds? “Proudly diverse” in terms of who is on the government dole?

This is akin to the rallies on college campuses in support of Hamas and Gaza after October 7. While not as disgusting, it is tone deaf, deliberately provocative, and a further sign of America’s long surrender to those who hold views antithetical to the founders and the founding. A surrender that can only lead to chaos, destitution-- and a near total loss of liberty and the concept of inherent and inalienable rights granted to us by our Creator.

The unprecedented fraud even now being uncovered in Minnesota may explain why the state replaced its old flag a few years ago with one that bore a striking resemblance to the Somali flag. That a school in Vermont chose this time to raise the Somali flag is troubling at best.

We have celebrated freak flags of late. But running the Somali flag up our poles should be a red flag that we may soon be waving a white flag to Third World nations and Islam.

Maybe we will still rally around the flag in the future. But which flag will that be?

 

 

Rep. Crockett Says "Law Enforcement Isn't To Prevent Crime"

 

The ever-ditzy Jasmine Crockett was a guest on the "Grounded" podcast when she was asked by host Jon Tester about the presence of military personnel in cities like Washington, D.C., and Chicago, Illinois. Though the podcast aired this past September, a couple of her comments have recently re-surfaced and gone viral.

When Tester asked the congresswoman her thoughts on the military presence in those cities, Crockett replied, “I think it’s terrible.” That opinion can legitimately be debated by people of good faith. However, she went on to say: "I want to be clear that, like, law enforcement isn't to prevent crime.” Huh?! She added, “Law enforcement solves crime. OK? That is what they are supposed to do. They are supposed to solve crimes, not necessarily, um, prevent them from happening per se." Okay, Jazzy, now take your meds. Again, we can debate the merits of military personnel in American cities, but not that statement.

Those in “law enforcement” are explicitly tasked with enforcing the law. A significant part of that mandate is to try to prevent people from, like, breaking the law, brainiac. They are not supposed to be indifferent to, say, murders, rapes, and terrorist attacks causing mass casualties. The goal is to prevent these crimes, not just investigate or solve them after they have occurred.

This would be like saying a store’s Loss Prevention personnel are, like, not supposed to prevent losses, but “solve” them after the fact, whatever she thinks that means.

We have arrived at a time and place where words and phrases seem to have no set meaning. But it’s worse than that. In truth, their meaning has been perverted, inverted, reversed. The Left has conscripted them and sent them to the front lines in an all-out War on Truth, Sanity, and Morality.

Jesus said that He was the truth, so those who so adamantly oppose it, obscure it, bastardize it-- and attempt to deceive others via a forked tongue-- are acting in direct contravention to Him.

So, Rep. Crockett, dogcatchers are not supposed to catch dogs? Teachers/instructors are not supposed to teach/instruct? Are house-sitters not supposed to housesit, air traffic controllers not supposed to control air traffic?

No one should wish to live in a world where law enforcement isn’t intended to prevent crime. We are seeing proof positive of that in several major American cities where “law enforcement” has had its hands tied. And fewer people would be—and are—living in places like that.

Jasmine Crockett is, like, um, literally—daft.

And her “ideas” are an existential threat to this republic.

But, as the “Gutfeld!” show would say: “That’s our Jazzy!”

 

An Emerging Democrat Party Platform For 2026 And Beyond

 

A few years ago, I penned a piece titled “Democratic Party Platform 2020,” which was viewed many times on several different “platforms,” including this one. 

As we approach the 2026 and 2028 elections, I thought it might be a good time to update said piece, especially given current events.

Though Democrats don’t usually say much other than “Trump bad,” “Republicans fascists,” and “no one should ever have the right to disagree with anything we are—and aren’t—saying,” here is what the Democrat’s updated platform appears to be, in a casual format:

*We reserve the right to ban cigarettes, cigars, and pipe and chewing tobacco, while legalizing marijuana and Khat sales nationwide, with supply—and demand-- spurred by government subsidy.

*We will place additional common-sense restrictions on the sale and manufacture of firearms while simultaneously providing subsidies to our Muslim illegal alien community to help them purchase the knives and swords they so desperately need.

*We will place common-sense restrictions on the practice of Christianity-- and its possibly even more evil cohort, nationalism—while providing the welcoming environment that our peaceful and burgeoning Muslim community needs to continue to thrive. We will strive to aid CAIR and other organizations—foreign and domestic—that assist Muslims in continuing to insert-- and assert-- themselves into Western society.

*We vow to starve ideologically driven faux media outlets like Fox News and the New York Post of all funding, while shutting down any and all platforms they have to reach their audience, while at the same time lavishly funding and supporting unbiased outlets such as MSNBC, CNN, Slate, Salon, The Daily Beast, The Huffington Post, and The New York Times, to name a few. Only by utterly eradicating the enemy conservative press can we make sure people get factual information that they can trust to help us protect our beloved democracy and keep Democrats in power for eternity.

*Similarly, we will further enhance empathy, civil discourse, tolerance, and inclusiveness, by attempting to eradicate-- by any means necessary-- our political opponents from the face of the Earth.

*We vow to enshrine unfettered abortion and medical-assistance-in-dying as inherent human rights, replacing the outmoded First and Second Amendment “rights.”

*We will strive to make it illegal for anyone to sport a Christian or Jewish symbol on their body.

*We will encourage, support-- and lavishly fund—the transitioning of one sex or gender to another, regardless of age, parental desire, or overall physical or mental health.  

*We promise to also eradicate any borders or barriers to this great nation filled with bigots, racists, homophobes, transphobes, and deplorable rubes, so that anyone who wishes to come here can do so without fear of deportation. We will do this by taxing the rich at unprecedented levels and diverting much of their income to provide free aid and succor, food, clothing, shelter, healthcare-- and a few grand in spending money every month—to those amazing non-citizens (and mostly peaceful non-criminals) who enter this country illegally. The rest will go to erect a stout, 30-foot-high permanent (and electrified) wall around the Capitol so that when Democrats once again control all three branches of government—and we will, very soon, as it is our right—another Jan. 6 can never again occur.

*We will work tirelessly to advance the cause of a Palestinian state while we also work to destroy the state of Israel, Allahu Akhbar! God willing. Who do these uppity Jews think they are, anyway?

*Diversity is our greatest value. Therefore we will stand with those in our Pakistani, Somali, and other non-assimilating undocumented migrant communities, regardless of their proclivity to rape, gang-rape, stab, or otherwise confront their white supremacist oppressors. We will work to overturn the Crapitalist—oops, we mean Capitalist system (giggle), that, though some say has lifted billions out of poverty, has never guaranteed an equal outcome for everybody regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, talent, or effort. We will make sure no one—NO ONE—has more than anyone else. Of anything. No matter what. Will this necessarily disincentivize hard work, effort, employment, competition, excellence, and entrepreneurship? Yes, but equity trumps all. Diversity is to be desired in all things except thought and income. Period!

*As progressives, today we know that someone’s “good” is another’s “evil,” and vice-versa. And who are we to judge? Therefore, we vow to promote the new progressive concept of “transmorality,” the ethos that “morality” (such a judgmental word) is not absolute or even knowable, but fluid, just like the Constitution-- and everything else. We vow to support, aid, and abet transmoralists everywhere. Trans pride!

 

Is An Elephant Legally A Person?

 

Is an elephant legally a person?

Incredibly, that was the pertinent question in a case that New York’s highest court once considered in a dispute over the living quarters of “Happy,” an Asian elephant at the Bronx Zoo.

The “Nonhuman Rights Project,” an animal rights organization, argued that Happy is an autonomous and cognitively complex animal and is therefore entitled to the same right of protection against unlawful imprisonment that people possess. (Tell that to some of the Jan. 6 Capitol strollers.) Steven Wise, president of the oh-so-cleverly named Nonhuman Rights Project, said via interview: “What we’re saying is that she has a right to bodily liberty and that that makes her no longer a thing. She’s a person.” (Was Happy forced to take an experimental mRNA “vaccine” into her body?)

The zoo contends that the elephant is well cared for and that its possession of her is not illegal.

Is “Happy” happy?

The remarkable thing to me about this story is its juxtaposition with the abortion fanatics’ tantrums, protests, and threats vis-à-vis the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

I’m virtually certain most of the radically pro-abortion crowd would sympathize with the plight of Happy and the Nonhuman Rights Project. Just as I bet Wise (!) would say that a young human in the womb is not, in fact, a person, and ergo has no right to bodily liberty.

So, to many “progressives,” porpoises, whales, dogs, cats, pigs, horses, elephants, etc., are “persons”-- but pre-birth human babies are not.

This raises the question, “What the bleep?” I mean, “what the bleeping bleep?!!”

I wonder what “Wise”—and pro-abortionists-- would think about humans who demanded the right to abort animals purely for their convenience?

Let’s turn the opening question around: in today’s bizzarro world, is a person legally an elephant if they “identify” as one?

If our lawyers, judges, experts, and elites had decided that Happy the elephant is legally a “person,” but your son or daughter in your womb is not…that would be a clear sign of the end times. Not that we need another one.

Fortunately, the court ruled that Happy is not a person in the legal sense.

Next up? Robots and Artificial Intelligence.

 

Appetite For Destruction

 

I am back with another shot of truth to be injected into your system. (At least it’s not an experimental mRNA ‘vaccine,’ right?)

Today’s Democrats partake in, wallow in-- and support-- crime, fraud, grift, graft, and disdain of America. Those who support them do so out of some combination of ignorance, resentment, jealousy, or suicidal empathy. Oh, and basic mental illness. This insanity poses an existential threat to the republic for which many of us still stand. The examples of insanity are legion.

Many Democrats are okay with killing innocent babies who survived abortion procedures, but apparently not narco-terrorists who survived a first missile strike. How is it possible for any human to simultaneously hold those two beliefs? The late, great P.J. O’Rourke had the best take on the ‘progressive’ mindset, writing: “Consider how much you'd have to hate free will to come up with a political platform that advocates killing unborn babies but not convicted murderers. A callous pragmatist might favor abortion and capital punishment. A devout Christian would sanction neither. But it takes years of therapy to arrive at the liberal view.”

The Democrat’s candidate to become mayor of Nashville actually said she wanted to be mayor of Nashville “because I hate this city, I hate the bachelorettes, I hate the pedal taverns, I hate country music. I hate all the things that make Nashville apparently an 'IT CITY' to the rest of the country." She hates everything about the city she wished to run. Guess she wanted to fundamentally transform it.

She received 77% of the Music City residents’ votes.

How could this happen? How could/did we get here? Actually, it was almost inevitable because we grew to be too successful, and thereafter too soft. This is a historical pattern oft repeated. We no longer had to work that hard on a daily basis to survive—and have had no Great War or Depression of late to challenge us and demand our focus. Ironically, the very success that our Founders, ideals, and free-market capitalist system bequeathed to us led to so many today disdaining our Founders, ideals, and free-market capitalist system. And to radical leftists taking control of academia and mainstream media. Because they could. Because the rest of us let them.  

 

And so the wealthy refuse to procreate while the world’s poor reproduce at astounding rates. Folks who point out massive fraud and corruption are mocked and despised, whether it be DOGE, government whistleblowers, or regular folks. Fewer seem upset by the massive fraud and corruption itself. Excellence, nee competence, punctuality, discipline and control are deemed racist. Along with highways, math, IDs, and almost everything else on Earth.

Even the Pope lauds Islam, despite the fact that it’s adherents murder countless thousands of Christians around the globe every year.

So, in this Depraved New World, crime is excused and punishment is considered evil. The achievers are despised, the indigent lauded. Christianity is considered passé, silly, or even hateful, while academia and media brand Islam as the official Religion of Peace™.

In the not-so-jolly new England, rapists and stabbers run wild and free, whilst those who publicly criticize them—or the government that has tolerated these (unpunished) crimes for years upon years now—are ‘visited’ by constables or sent to prison.

Appetite for destruction? Inarguably so. And yet progressives say, “Yum, give us more!”

An Ode To "Fossil" Fuels

 

Memo to anti-fossil fuel groups like Extinction Rebellion and Rising Tide-- and the individuals that comprise them:

So, you are for the rapid transition from fossil fuels such as oil and gas to “sustainable green energy” fuels like wind and solar? Or even the near immediate banning of their production and use?  Well, you better not travel anywhere in a car! Or truck, bus, plane, boat or train. In fact, you better not own an automobile-- or a motorcycle, ATV, boat, etcetera, etcetera. Because if you do you are a hypocrite of the highest order whose every opinion and utterance is automatically invalidated.

Oh, and you better not buy anything in any store, either. Or online. Because all goods arrive-- whether to a retail outlet or to your front door-- via cars, vans, trucks, planes, boats, or trains. And the vast majority of those goods are at least partially made from petroleum products…or in factories or on farms powered by “fossil fuels.”

So don't be a hypocrite. Just starve-- or freeze-- to death in your tent on stolen land. And shut the hell up.

We’d all like to have clean, sustainable energy in perpetuity. But that energy has to be affordable without government subsidies. And it has to actually be “clean,” and not destroy or poison large tracts of land in other countries, utilize slave or child labor to be produced, or be controlled by enemies of the U.S.

It was no coincidence that the discovery and use of fossil fuels occurred almost simultaneously with the onset of mass production, which led to sharp decreases in the cost of goods. And resulted in increasing prosperity, freedom, and leisure time for those in the developed nations.

Conversely, alternative energy sources have a mixed record at best. Wind turbines/farms are the ultimate bird dicers and the turbines themselves are made out of petroleum. And they don’t produce energy when the wind doesn’t blow. And when it does, it is often hard to efficiently transfer the energy to The Grid.

Fossil fuels and capitalism have done more to raise standards of living—and life expectancy— around the world, than any other contributing factors.

So, “Extinction Rebellion,” if you wanted to rebel against extinction, you should consider protesting unfettered abortion, medical-assistance-in-dying (MAID), mandatory unvetted experimental mRNA “vaccines,” increasingly lower fertility/birth rates, and the declining rates of marriage, among other things. A “Rising Tide” may lift all boats, but it doesn’t float mine.

Diversity, Immigrants, And Rescuing The Last Best Hope

 

The notion of America being “a nation of immigrants” is-- and always was-- a little bit misleading. According to Mark Steyn, even as late as the 1990s, the majority of the people in the United States were descendants of those here before the Declaration of Independence. That's right, as recently as three decades ago, most U.S. citizens were descendants of Europeans who arrived here prior to July 4th, 1776. Now, thanks to many possibly well-meaning but misguided Republicans, and Democrats searching for a dependable permanent electorate, we are ever more like a nation of third world Muslim tribes who have no familiarity with, nor fondness for, freedom, entrepreneurship, or limited government of, by, and for the people. The bigger the government, the smaller its citizens.

Our ancestors once sailed here on the Niňa, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria— and, of course, the Mayflower. But the flower of our youth has wilted, the melting pot has been cast aside, and the liberty ship is sailing away. The shining city on the hill is plagued with rampant crime, homelessness, sloth, dependency, and hopelessness. The land of the free and the home of the brave is turning into the land of the wee and the home of the depraved.

I don’t like this any more than you do. But there is an answer to this problem that is at once easy and hard: refuse to tolerate it! Decline to nod along with your Aunt Karen as she recounts how the Reagan administration was good for the rich but not so good for the poor and middle class. (Not true.) Don’t let your professor indoctrinate you. Don’t be taken in by fake news (which is the overwhelming majority of what gets called “news” in the mainstream media. Get involved with local politics.

And tell the truth. Always and no matter what, consequences be damned.

Swamp dwellers, Democrats and Republicans alike, view The Truth as an existential threat. Because it is. To them. But it is just what can set us free again. Eventually. If we hold firm to our beliefs.

As I have repeatedly noted on this site, diversity is neither a value nor a virtue. As Steyn has repeatedly stated over the years, “diversity is where nations go to die.”

The choice is clear: we can be a nation of (illegal) immigrants or a nation of citizens. If we choose the former, we won’t be a nation much longer, period.

 

The Midterms Are Looming-- And With Them The Specter Of Death For A Representative Republic

 

Republicans better get their act together—and quickly. That said, I’m also urging pigs to fly.

I say this because the last, best hope for the Last, Best Hope will have expired on Tuesday, November 26th, 2026 if they do not. And I, for one, I'm not holding my breath. At this point, I fully expect Republicans to lose the House and possibly the Senate, effectively ending Trump's presidency and the MAGA Revolution. I know this opinion won't sit well with a great many of you, but, sadly, I believe it to be the truth.

One might logically ask how this would be possible given that many of the views and policies Democrats promote are unpopular with the majority of Americans, and the fact that Republicans currently hold the House, Senate, and presidency. There is at least a three-part answer to that query: rampant cheating on the part of Democrats, idiocy on the part of a misinformed electorate, and extreme cravenness on the part of Republicans.

If Republicans do blow it, they will have squandered their last chance to fundamentally transform the nation back to its founding ideals. The only hope for the country was for Trump and his administration to somehow defeat the endlessly vast Deep State and all the major institutions that are arrayed against them. Unfortunately, at this point, the only possibility to achieve even a partial victory would be to nuke the filibuster and pass a full slate of election laws to prevent industrial scale fraud and cheating by the Democrats. (After which, they could theoretically reestablish the filibuster.)

But Republicans prefer losing to leading... and will now likely get their wish in perpetuity. Unfortunately for the American people, Democrats love to win almost as much as they disdain the citizens whose lives they are likely about to wreck. Open borders, rampant crime and corruption, and an even more gargantuan Welfare State will see to that. Unlimited spending, disincentives to work, and other Marxist policies will eventually destroy the economy as certainly as Gavin Newsom uses hair gel or that the sun will rise in the east tomorrow morning. Despite his flaws and occasional unforced errors, sans Trump, there is no one to even effectively fight THE GIANT LEFTIST BLOB, let alone have a chance at winning.

The new and even more radicalized Democrats, citing Trump, will end the filibuster should they feel the need, dispense with the Electoral College, re-open the borders, make Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico states, retake full control of the military and intelligence agencies and re-weaponize them, and make criticism of the government a crime. For starters.

That's what’s at stake.

For a nation unaware that its effective demise is potentially now only months away.

“But Eric, if you say Republicans aren't fully committed to their bit, and they haven’t passed much of Trump’s agenda, why does it matter who’s elected?” For the same reason it matters if your daughter is dating an unstable monster or a generally decent yet somewhat timid and underachieving lad.

I am on record as stating, years ago, that I did not believe the country could be restored to its former glory after the Obama administration fundamentally transformed it by taking a wrecking ball to it and its founding principles. And then, with Trump’s ascension and the burgeoning MAGA Movement, I saw a tiny glimmer of hope. I let myself fantasize about equal justice under the rule of law, a more limited government of, by, and for the people, a renewed respect for productivity and excellence—and those who came before us. A restoration of pride and sanity.

But it appears it was all only a fantasy, ephemeral, due to the staggeringly vast corruption and rigid ideology of our media, academia, Blue State governments, “charitable” organizations, the Deep State, and, increasingly, major religions. And the aforementioned and unforgivable weakness of RINOs.

On July 4^th, 1776, we declared our independence. On November 3^rd, 2026, more than a quarter of a Millenium later, we may render that declaration null and void, effectively declaring our dependence on an ever-more bloated-- and permanent-- one-party state. In doing so, we would also overturn the Emancipation proclamation and sign off on our unwavering fealty to the Democrat Party. You can rest assured Democrats will approve of this slavery just as heartily as they did the enslavement of others in the 19^th Century.
