General Discussion / Re: UK's Labour Party is an enemy of the United States

Because of family ties, I have a special fondness for England. I've always been amazed at how such a small country could develop so large of an empire, AND I'm equally amazed (and saddened) at how far they've fallen.

There are some interesting counter-Prog-narrative aspects to this. The first is that the Cuellars' daughters thought it worth their time to write a letter to Trump and think of a way to be sure he would see it (IOW, they trusted Truth Social not to give them a granite pizza). They at least thought it possible that Trump is not the hateful racist Progs claim he is (maybe they saw pictures of Trump's senior officials?).

Another interesting aspect is that while Trump is pursuing people who broke laws in their lawfare against him, he is not blindly vengeful, as Progs claim Trump is. Obviously, Trump was and is not happy with Pelosiroo's shampeachments, but while Cuellar supported Pelosiroo's Hate-Trump efforts, Trump recognized that the Cuellars had been railroaded to some degree.

There also is a gap - of how many weeks or months, I don't know - between the writing of the letter and the pardons. I'm speculating that Trump had Justice Department people look into the Cuellars and realized that what was done to them was disproportionate to whatever they did - i.e. a mole hill got Himalayanized.

As for the bolded red, I’m surprised that more people can’t see this. The Democrat machine is very similar to DU. The DemonRat overlords decide what is to be and the followers (even the lesser overlords) MUST agree with that. If they don’t, they are apt to be shunned, expelled, jailed, etc. The DemonRats love to call Trump a dictator and his voters as members of a cult, but there is nothing more authoritarian and cult-like than the DemonRat Party.

Garland and Wray let this PIPE BOMBER run free for four years while going after J6ers who merely walked through The Capitol.

That's (D)ifferent.

A high school Christian friend is the son of an American Lutheran Church (ALC, denomination) pastor who went to seminary and became a pastor in the ALC. In 1987 (IIRC) the ALC merged with the liberal Lutheran Church in America and formed the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). The church my friend pastored decided as a congregation to leave ELCA. It's easy to tell things that happened, but my friend and his father had given decades of their life serving in the ALC, decades of love and loyalty. Members of their congregations had invested similar love and loyalty. No one's world or faith ended, but the betrayal by the denominational hurt a lot of people.

At the same time, it's also unsurprising. The UMC, like the Episcopalian church and ELCA, has been running from the clear teachings of the Bible for several decades. What is sad to me is the many Christian believers in congregations of those denominations whose faith and contributions are being arrogantly trampled.

Yup.  Grew up getting drug to a UMC church, so even though I wasn't paying much attention back then, there's still a bit of a soft spot for them.  Really saddens me to drive about DFW and see so many UMC and other churches with rainbow flags and other "inclusive" decor.

LIEden's FBI did not want to investigate the evidence they had. The only questions, IMO, are whether they thought the pipe bombs investigation would detract from their "Insurrection" shamvestigation or they knew enough about Cole to realize he would, ummm, inconvenience their anti-Trump and anti-MAGA narrative.

Is actually a white guy in black face :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

I heard that some on the left claimed the person who shot the National Guard members looked white. In so doing, they exposed a huge blindspot in their preconceptions about race and ethnicity.

Netanyahu Defies Mayor-Elect, Vows Return to New York

https://www.newsmax.com/us/benjamin-netanyahu-zohran-mamdani-new-york/2025/12/04/id/1237074/

Quote
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed threats from New York's democratic socialist Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani this week, saying he fully intends to return to the Big Apple despite Mamdani's campaign-trail vow to have him arrested on alleged "war crimes" charges.

Speaking Wednesday via video to The New York Times' DealBook Summit at Lincoln Center, Netanyahu was asked directly whether he would travel to New York now that Mamdani has pledged to enforce an International Criminal Court arrest warrant against him over Israel's war against Hamas terrorists in Gaza.

"I'll come to New York," Netanyahu responded. "Yes, of course I will."

Much as the (very) mental picture of some Mamdani minion(s) getting their asses handed to them by IDF or Mossad and having to be rescued by the USSC or FBI, I doubt any NYPD officers are stupid enough to try.
