Steve Bannon: Maga can rule for 50 years and Farage will be PM Excerpt, but read the whole thing. Louise Callaghan in the (London) Sunday Times If they manage this, Bannon tells me more than once, the Maga Republicans can rule for half a century. “If we deliver now, it’s upon us. They’ve given PresidentContinue reading “IF . . .”

Well worth reading, from The Catholic Thing. An excerpt: I was about to begin my doctrinal studies at King’s College, and it was dark when I arrived at our Capuchin friary in the borough of Peckham in southeast London.  When I was shown my room, I immediately looked out the window to see my viewContinue reading ““Take Courage””

If there are any Tatler readers in the city just trashed by him, this looks like a sure bet. There is a fine review of this event by Sun critic, A. R. Hoffman.

The misguided fools at Ferrari S.p.A. have chosen to take the blue pill and are now in a merry chase with Jaguar® to bankruptcy. It’s a mystery to your Tatler how the woke can be so asleep. h/t Not the Bee

From the Daily Signal,”As part of mandatory diversity training, NYC firefighters are lectured about ‘The Genderbread Person’—a cartoon that explains the ‘spectrum of countless identities’ people can have.” This fireman hits it on the nose: “The Genderbread Person looks like the FDNY got a contract with some activist group who specializes in children’s propaganda.” TheContinue reading “Is there no end to this BS?”
