Fascism spreading like a fire.

Sirens blared and orange flames audibly crackled as a thick plume of black smoke streamed out of Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein’s Edisto Beach home during a fire that blazed on Oct. 4, video shows.

The home, located off Planters Retreat in the Jeremy Cay Community, is partially surrounded by trees and a marshy area of Edisto Island. That made it particularly difficult to rescue Goodstein’s husband, a former state senator, after he jumped out the back of the house to escape the blaze, a neighbor said.

Resident Tom Peterson was near the couple’s home midday on Oct. 4 when he noticed a plume of smoke that was visible in a video of

Wait what? I seem to be in the wrong species. We’re told that queuing for hours = pleasure.

It’s just before 06:00 on a Friday morning and on a busy central London street a queue is growing by the second. It’s dark and chilly, but I’m told the people at the front of this line have been here since 20:00 last night.

Christina Spence is waiting with hundreds of other people who want to be the first shoppers at Korean cosmetics retailer Skin Cupid’s first store. The 16-year-old, who is here with her sister and mum Cheryl, could just buy the products online – but she wants to be part of the queue.

You what? People started to line up … Read the rest

The lust for public humiliation continues.

An FBI agent has reportedly been suspended because they refused to participate in a “perp walk” of the bureau’s former director James Comey, US media reports. The agent was suspended for insubordination, according to the BBC’s news partner CBS, after the agent found the plan to be inappropriate.

Mr Comey was indicted in Virginia on two federal charges days after Donald Trump called on law enforcement to more aggressively investigate his political adversaries, including Mr Comey.

FBI leadership has discussed sending “large, beefy” agents in Kevlar vests to bring Mr Comey to his court arraignment in Alexandria next week, CBS reports.

Trump is so ungrateful. It’s possible that without Comey he wouldn’t have … Read the rest

The ACLU talks maudlin nonsense on its pet subject yet again and does it dishonestly yet again. The author is one Gillian Branstetter, communications strategist. I would say her strategy is crap.

Over the last five years, politicians across the country have targeted transgender people and our families. 

Ah. “Our” families; so Gillian is trans; so he’s a he.

To the point: it’s not “targeting” men to tell them to get out of the women’s toilets and stop taking women’s jobs and prizes. If anybody is “targeting” it’s men who pretend to be women and take all the women’s stuff.

They’ve banned our health care, censored our speech, and made schools less safe for transgender students. One of the most

Zack Polanski really is a horrible man.

No no no. Conversion therapy is trying to “convert” same-sex attracted people to straighthood. That is not the same as telling people that it’s not possible to change sex.

Same-sex attraction harms no one. Gender ideology harms its adherents and women and, ironically, same-sex attracted people.

I wonder what would happen if gender ideology faded out to be … Read the rest

It’s interesting that the rival monotheisms are so hostile to each other. There is only one god and it’s NOT the one you’re bending the knee to. Bang bang.

The number of people arrested in the wake of the Manchester synagogue terror attack has risen to six as the attacker “may have been influenced by extreme Islamist ideology”, police have confirmed.

Jihad Al-Shamie drove a black Kia Picanto into worshippers at the Heaton Park synagogue and stabbed congregants on Thursday.

Two men were killed and three seriously injured in the terror attack which took place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

And we’re thinking maybe just possibly it might have something to do with Islamist … Read the rest

What could possibly go wrong?

When the Vienna Regional Court for Civil Matters permitted the enforcement of an arbitration ruling based explicitly on Sharia law, the decision passed largely without international notice.

Yet its implications are profound – not merely for Austria, but for Europe as a whole. At stake is nothing less than whether the continent retains its secular constitutional foundations, or whether it drifts into the dangerous territory of legal pluralism, where parallel systems of justice compete against the law of the land.

Parallel but not comparable. Allah hates women; Quranic law is not fair to women, to put it mildly.

Critics are right to warn that this ruling risks legitimising “parallel societies.” For decades, European leaders have

Cultural differences…

On a visit to New Zealand, FBI Director Kash Patel gave the country’s police and spy bosses gifts of inoperable pistols that were illegal to possess under local gun laws and had to be destroyed, New Zealand law enforcement agencies told The Associated Press.

Such a thoughtful present. How about an electric chair next time?

Inoperable weapons are treated as though they’re operable in New Zealand if modifications could make them workable again. The pistols were judged by gun regulators to be potentially operable and were destroyed, New Zealand’s Police Commissioner Richard Chambers told AP in a statement Tuesday.

Weird: people who don’t love guns. How can anyone not love guns?!

From The Times last March:

Doctors will be banned from giving transgender children a new NHS record after it emerged that biological sex had been erased from official data.

Wes Streeting, the health secretary, said it was wrong that doctors were changing the NHS numbers of children if they changed gender. He has told the health service to stop giving out new NHS numbers to under-18s.

A review ­commissioned by the last government and ­released on Wednesday found that the word “gender” started to replace “sex” in the collection of data in the 1990s and that for the past ten years ­“robust and accurate data on biological sex” had been lost.

Sturgeon: “Trans women are women but in the prison context there is no automatic right for a trans woman – “

The Green Party doesn’t want women defending women’s rights.

Women’s rights campaigners have claimed they are victims of discrimination after being banned from the Green Party conference.

Invidious discrimination, they mean.

The Green Women’s Declaration (GWD), a group advocating for sex-based rights for women, were told two days before the party’s conference that their stall booking was cancelled and they would not be allowed to recruit members. The group said the move “undermines the rights of women to advocate for single-sex spaces, services, and sports — rights that are protected under UK law”.

Sometimes protected. Other times, as we see, not protected.

The ban is the latest argument between those in the party who believe in sex-based rights and

To the surprise of no one…

Dangerous thug Barbie Kardashian is facing arrest – as a prison Governor and officer are forced to take security measures amid threats she allegedly uttered.

Threats “she” uttered. The replies on TwitX all shout at the reporter for the many shes and hers in the story but it could be an editorial ruling – but either way it’s interesting that the first two words are “dangerous thug.” Women are not generally called thugs, however violent they may be; it’s a male-coded word.

Either way this lying really needs to stop. Just stop. Nobody cares that he claims to be a woman; everybody knows he isn’t one. Just stop.

Originally a comment by Artymorty on In the face of challenges and hostility.

Alice Sullivan reported the most chilling thing I ever heard throughout the whole gender mess.

I wrote in late 2024, facetiously, that, “No doubt soon there will be newborn trans babies.” Barely a few months later, Alice Sullivan reported she’d uncovered at least one case where deranged parents brought their newborn child back to the hospital to have the paperwork changed: they were unhappy about the sex of their newborn so they decided to carry on as though the child was the other sex — the one they wanted — and to that end they simply declared that the newborn was “trans”. Then they stormed back … Read the rest

Sullivan nominated for Sullivan Review.

A leading gender critical researcher has been shortlisted for the 2025 Maddox Prize for her landmark review into how sex is recorded in publicly funded research.

Alice Sullivan, professor of sociology at UCL, is the only UK-based researcher named on the six-strong shortlist for the prize, awarded by Nature Awards and the science communication charity Sense about Science, which recognises researchers with a record of “standing up for sound science and evidence in the public interest, and for showing courage and integrity in the face of challenges and hostility”.

It doesn’t get much more challenges and hostility than trans ideology. That’s probably because they are coming from inside the house.

Oliver Brown in the Telegraph:

Lisa Nandy should surely have taken the hint when, having worn a “protect the dolls” T-shirt on a transgender rights march in August, she found herself roundly eviscerated.

Dolls, a slang term from the 1980s for men trying to pass themselves off as women, had long been viewed as misogynistic, a description that succeeded only in objectifying femininity. Except now the Culture Secretary has gone a step further, making the fatuous suggestion at this week’s Labour Party conference that biological men should still be allowed to compete in certain women’s sports.

“There are three things that we’re trying to achieve,” she said on Wednesday. “The first is inclusion, the second is fairness, and

Farewell to Jane Goodall.

The United Nations said it mourned the loss of Dr Goodall, saying that she “worked tirelessly for our planet and all its inhabitants, leaving an extraordinary legacy for humanity and nature”.

Greenpeace said it was “heartbroken” by her death, calling her “one of the true conservation giants of our time”.

Its co-executive director in the UK, Will McCallum, said: “Dr Goodall’s legacy is not only in science but in the global movement she helped spark to protect nature and give hope for a better world.”

Naturalist Chris Packham told the BBC that he counted her among his heroes, calling her “revolutionary” and “remarkable”.
