"More of my friends talk about wanting to move to Dubai than serve their own country.
"Consistently, the elite class has stripped away all of the guardrails and sources of meaning that young people like me used to cling to —our national identity, our national culture, our strong families, our local identities. All of it is steadily being whittled away to make room for an incredibly hollow, vague, and meaningless celebration of universal ‘diversity’, a notion of diversity that celebrates any and every group in society except the one group that will soon be relied upon to defend and save our country from external threats —straight, white, working-class men.
"Liberal Boomers might be shocked to discover that so few Zoomer men, like me, are willing to fight and die for our country. But I am not. While the radical progressive elites who dominate the institutions tell themselves they are creating a society that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive, in reality they have created a society that is, as JD Vance said, falling apart from within —a society that is bitterly divided, filled with hate, riddled with a corrosive identity politics and two-tier justice, and rigged in favour of every and any minority group at the expense of young people like me from the British majority. So, no, Keir Starmer, if you ask me I won’t be heading off to fight and potentially die for Britain. Why should I? What, exactly, would I be fighting for?"

Bill Madden writes, "Refusing illegal orders in the military is difficult to do because they normally are generated high in the chain of command and very few officers in the chain really know what is or is not a legal order. Immediate superiors can be very demanding and the orders are usually given in high pressure environments. Refusing an illegal military order is tantamount to whistleblowing and, as much good as it does for the concept of truth, the whistleblower’s life is made miserable as a punishment for his honesty and a warning to others."
I watched this happen with Army Spec Michael New during the Clinton years. He disobeyed an illegal Clinton order, was arrested on base in Germany, was then given an unjust, unconstitutional trial, and then a Bad Conduct Discharge. But he stood his ground the whole time and has been proven right since.
“Fact check; not locking down at all (like Sweden) would have saved lives in UK. Hard to believe how much money the UK spent on its sham covid inquiry.”
--Jay Bhattacharya
The UK Covid-19 Inquiry cost millions. It finally released the core political chapters of its long-awaited report. After nearly three years of hearings, millions of documents, and tens of millions of pounds spent on legal fees, the conclusion is now unmistakably clear.
They’ve learned nothing, even while watching millions suffer from lockdowns and vaccination.
Worse, they may not want to learn. The Inquiry’s structure, its analytical frame, even its carefully curated narrative all point in the same direction: away from the possibility that Britain’s pandemic response was fundamentally misguided.
Not the personal sub;
the private American car. Americans owe $1.66 trillion in auto debt. Delinquencies just hit levels not seen since the Great Financial Crisis. Nearly 30% of all trade-ins are underwater. Average amount owed: $7,000 more than their cars are worth.
Auto loans are now a bigger consumer debt category than student loans (8.9%) and significantly larger than credit cards (6.6%).
So is that shiny late model vehicle a blessing, or a curse?
