What’s going on in the United Kingdom should have any American at full alert. While we overthrew the crown and broke away hundreds of years ago, the U.S. and the UK are cousins. What happens in one country often gets duplicated in another. 

Alarmingly, despite breaking from the European Union, Britain is going down the European route of ever more restrictive policing and draconian punishment against its own population while foreigners commit crimes with seeming abandon. 

The stabbing of 13 children—three of them died—at a dance class in Southport was the spark that set the tinder pile ablaze this week as riots broke out in several English towns and cities. This time, it was mostly native English people who were fed up. Their unheard frustrations about economic decline, foreigner crime, and the government’s generosity to “migrants” and stinginess to Brits boiled over. 

Police have arrested more than 1,000 people in connection with the riots, which the mainstream media characterizes—like the British government does—as “far right.” This report makes sure to get the phrase “racist attacks” right into the first few paragraphs. 

But it’s not just vandals and rioters getting put in handcuffs. It’s Brits engaging in wrongthink and wrongspeak. Take a look at these two glazed-eyed coppers walking into a man’s living room and putting him under arrest for something he posted on Facebook. We don’t know what it is, and we’re as confused as he is. 

And what is this? 

It appears to be exactly what it looks like: persecution of a native Brit by the police. How in the world does the question, “who the f*** is Allah” get an 18-month prison sentence? It’s no surprise, considering the creepy and dystopian “public service announcement” by the Crown Prosecution Service, which warns Internet users to “think before you post.”

If you’re in the mood for gaslight, be sure to watch it:

Twitter/X users are asking questions about the jailing of a man for asking an “impertinent” question that might offend delicate Muslim sensibilities.

Americans are doing their best to warn our British cousins, and our own countrymen.

Some are pointing directly at Islamism, which the UK government is terrified to do. 

We hope this guy isn’t right, but it’s looking like he might be:

What say you readers? Can the English make Britain great again? 

The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project collaborated with Muckracker.com to shine light on the problem of illegal aliens being registered to vote – a real problem that Democrats have long denied because they want to continue benefitting from it.

In a video posted on X, Mike Howell, Executive Director of the Heritage Oversight Project, has urged Americans to “declare independence from foreigners deciding our elections.”

“The evidence you are about to see relates to illegal aliens being registered to vote,” Oversight Project Director Mike Howell opens the video. “This is a problem national in scale. The United States of America is for Americans, and our elections only should be decided by them.”

Out of the 41 people surveyed, four admitted they were non-citizens registered to vote. While 41 is too small a sample to extrapolate from nationally, it would imply that about 10% of illegals are registered to vote if we were to.

For decades both parties have opted to kick the can down the road indefinitely when it came to the national debt problem, only ever pretending to care about it – but now the Biden-Harris administration is denying that there is one at all.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who infamously described Bidenflation as “transitory” (and then had to apologize for it) is out with some even more questionable economic arguments. 

According to CNBC: “Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the swelling national debt is manageable as long as it stays around where it is relative to the rest of the economy. ‘If the debt is stabilized relative to the size of the economy, we’re in a reasonable place,’ she told CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin. ‘The way I look at it is that we should be looking at the real interest cost of the debt. That’s really what the burden is.'”

The public share of the national debt as a share of GDP is running at about 97% but is expected to soon top 100% at current spending rates. In other words, the national debt is on track to eclipse the size of the entire U.S. economy’s annual output.

Just this fiscal year alone (starting October 1, 2023), interest costs on the national debt have exceeded $600 billion, which is more than the government spent on healthcare of defense, and four times its education expenditures. In the entirety of the 2023 fiscal year, interest costs were $659 billion.

With the exception of the beginning of the pandemic and other years of the Biden presidency, the prior all-time-high for interest spending on the national debt was $468 billion in 1996 (in inflation adjusted 2024 dollars). Nearly 80% of personal income tax revenue is now going towards servicing interest on the national debt.

Yellen touted President Joe Biden’s plans to supposedly manage the situation he exacerbated by biblical proportions. “In the budget the president presented for this coming fiscal year he proposes $3 trillion of deficit reduction over the next decade,” she said. “That’s sufficient to basically keep the debt to income ratio stable, and this interest burden would be stabilized.”

The budget deficit for 2024 is running at $1.2 trillion with four months left in the fiscal year. In 2023, the shortfall totaled $1.7 trillion.

Hilariously, Biden has claimed to reduce the deficit.

While you probably don’t need to be reminded; anytime anyone hears the words “Biden” and “deficit reduction” they should be skeptical. Two years into the Biden presidency the national debt has surged by $4 trillion – yet if you listened to Biden you’d be believing that it went down by $1.7 trillion, a bogus claim he’s repeated on numerous occasions.

There is an appearance of truth to the claim if one doesn’t dive deeper into the figures; the budget deficit fell from $2.8 trillion to $1.4 trillion from fiscal year 2021-2022 for instance, accounting for most of the claimed $1.7 trillion reduction. However, in that same time period there was a $1.45 trillion drop in spending (104% of the deficit reduction) due to COVID programs either shrinking or expiring. And those are programs that would shrink or expire even if Trump were still in office, so it’s hardly anything Biden can take credit for, as he didn’t actually do anything. 

Similarly, the Biden administration has pointed to the deficit of $2.8 trillion in fiscal year 2021 as being $360 billion lower than the $3.1 trillion deficit in Trump’s last year in office. But again, the deficit was supposed to decline by more if Biden had done nothing. The Congressional Budget Office estimated the deficit would’ve declined by $870 billion if the Biden administration didn’t implement any new policies and Trump’s remained in place. Or in other words, Biden contributed a disguised net $510 billion to the deficit that year.

Every single time the Biden administration has made claims about reducing the debt or deficit they’ve been lying with statistics – and it seems unlikely they’d start telling the truth now.
