offsite link Losing to Win Thu Feb 13, 2025 14:00 | Dr James Allan
Sometimes politicians have to lose to win so the other side can show its true colours. Trump is the standout example, says Prof James Allan. Had he won in 2020, we would not have had the blitz of the last four weeks.

Joanna Gray says the Gen Zer she was mentoring had an epiphany: "It?s not us who suck; it?s you Gen Xers. No wonder you lot went along with all that trans BS, you'd all lost your bottle." Terrifyingly, he was right.

The Hard Left consistently claim that the insurrection in Iraq is due to PEOPLE POWER. They have romantic notions of the oppressed proletariat of Iraq rising up against the United States oppressor.
They deny that Al-Qaeda is intimately involved in terrorist attacks against coalition forces, Iraq people themselves and is fanatically opposed to the international community represented by the United Nations becoming involved in the rebuilding of Iraq as a free democratic society. ... read full story / add a comment

There's a cranky old Judge called Joe Mangan
Who would love the return of the hangman
He's a cranky old bollix
and an old alcholic
He'll have to make do with a Clare-ban

Now some folk might think it unfair
To be banned from the County of Clare
But this rude little sod,
In his court, thinks he's God
So be careful, my friends what you wear

You'd better not voice an opinion
While sitting in Mangan's dominion
And speak not of Hussein
for it drives him insane
You'll be set upon by Garda minions

Just to prove he's an absolute spanner
he will confiscate anti-war banners
then he'll bellow and roar
and he'll show you the door
and complain about YOUR lack of manners!

In March 2004, 53 nations will sit at the United Nations in Geneva to
discuss, argue, vote and then publicly declare if they believe sexual
orientation and gender identity are human rights or not.

In other words, they will say whether being Lesbian, Gay, Transgender or
Bisexual (or heterosexual for that matter) is a basic right of human beings.

When looking deeply at the issue, one can understand that the core of the problem is an ideology that is very harmful to humanity and the security of the region. This ideology, which has been Armenians' national program for more than one hundred years, encompasses the establishment of the "Great Armenia from sea to sea - from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea" and the occupation of the lands of the ancient peoples who Armenians have been neighbors with for two hundred years in the Caucasus. ... read full story / add a comment
