Trump Jr. warns Zelensky ‘you’re 38 days from losing your allowance‘
Today’s join the dots competition for other juniors:
America is not a country, it’s a business.
Clue: Part of the ‘frozen conflict’ settlement that Trump will reach with Putin will be a lifting of U.S. sanctions on Russia.
Who handles President Trump’s business interests while he is President? Who is now at the head of the queue, leap frogging Orban and Erdogan cronies?

No doubt Mr Farage’s sharp suited young business buddies will not be far behind!
This is our last chance to back Ukraine for real
The elastic waist banded fluffy bunny slipper wearing leaders of Europe are sweating profusely.
Even if they wanted to help Ukraine at the technological and volume scale required, they cannot.
Because they have done that congenitally stupid feckwit thing again: ‘The Peace Dividend’ which is, as we can all now plainly see, in fact ‘A War Dividend’
Why? To line their pockets. Ex Chancellor Schroder annual salary today? That would be £1m+ (and the rest). John Major, Tony Blair net worth? Well north of £50m each……
In reality, the great ship ‘Last Chance Saloon’ sailed many years ago for this country.
It was called ‘Options For Change’ in those days when the British Government was first well known for its sense of humour: hilarious side splitters like ‘Back To Basics’, Chelsea football strips as fetishes, cones hotlines and Edwina Curry.
How we laughed!
Well, we’re not laughing now. We’re on the hook for another £30bn a year, Europe £300bn, so we can all man the 2000km buffer zone in Ukraine, in freezing winter.
No-one will sign on for peanuts……not for that gig…..
Covid inquiry told Treasury blocked NHS bed request. Boris Johnson’s government blocked a request to fund another 10,000 hospital beds at the height of the Covid pandemic, the chief executive of NHS England has said according to the BBC’s Jim Reed.
July 2020 was not the ‘height of the pandemic’ by any stretch of the imagination. She was COO of NHS England at the time, she’s now CEO.The Chancellor at the time was Rishi Sunak.
In contrast Jim Reed’s BBC article just 4 days earlier stated that the ‘most senior doctor in NHS England‘, Prof Sir Stephen Powis told the Inquiry that a project to introduce a formal triage process to ration NHS resources in the event of them being overrun was abandoned ‘after it became clear infections might have already reached a peak in March 2020‘.
Amanda Pritchard is stretching the truth. Why was her evidence not challenged either by the Inquiry or by the BBC?
No matter how much they get, the NHS always asks for more resources.
Hospitals have never been emptier than during the 1st lockdown.
The most full hospital Trust in the country was Croydon & Streatham, 88% full, lower than the normal 90-95%.
Cornwall saw only 38% of their hospital beds occupied.
During the first lockdown in Germany, specifically on 20th March 2020, Angela Merkel sensibly decreed that a database be set up to show how full intensive care units were throughout the country. I compiled the attached graph from this database in August 2022. It shows that ICU units were never more than 2/3 full* while also proving there was no pandemic.
The black curve shows the number of PCR positive patients, i.e. those theoretically suffering from COVID-19, and the red curve shows the total number of ICU beds occupied. (The data are for adults only.)
Note that, ignoring the ramp up of incoming data at the beginning of the database, ICU occupancy for all German hospitals is constant, at around 20,000 beds. The weekly dips in the curve correspond to the weekends: somehow, ICU occupancy is reduced each weekend!
Note particularly that there is no equivalent variation in total bed occupancy vis-à-vis the number of COVID cases.
* The green curve shows the total number of ICU beds available, i.e. the number of occupied plus empty beds. Note how the number drops sharply in August 2020 and from October to December 2020. In good pandemic tradition, the German government was awarding hospitals compensation if their ICU wards were 75% or 50% full (or was it 90% and 75%, I cannot remember?): the fuller they were, the more money the hospital would receive as compensation for their role in fighting the good fight. Of course, as a result of this compensation, the hospitals started reducing the number beds in their ICUs – as the green curve shows!
Further to the organized attacks on Jews in Amsterdam ( now they’re just trashing the place, setting trams on fire and spewing the usual antisemitic bile ) and whatever happened to individualism?;
”Since the Holocaust, Europe has become unique in the world in its ability to look upon a person and see them as an individual distinct from their social and ethnic group. Whilst their skin colour, accent, facial features, dress, or religion might have been remarked upon as an interesting feature, the emphasis was on the soul of the human being who performed these cultural rituals rather than the culture from which they originated.
In Western Europe, confidence in this colour-blindness bloomed to the point where meritocracy seemed self-evident as a value framework. The sheer ‘common sense’ of this position was dazzling, and those living in the West assumed that, out of the ashes of the Second World War, everyone but the Communists had made the same discovery. The individual was sacrosanct, and the relative ease and joy with which immigrants to Europe seemed to assimilate to this notion only corroborated in the Western mind that their values were universal.
From the Amsterdam attacks, it is clear that Europe is breaking with its philosophy of individualism. In understanding the West’s failing relationship with individualism, one must look to the West itself.
Identity politics—as emerging from post-modernism and Critical Theory—has played a significant role in reconstituting the individual within the framework of a group. One must be conscious of the ‘categories’ from which a person emerges and recognise their sex, sexuality, and ‘gender expression,’ along with their race, their nationality, and their disabilities, as exercising meaningful influence, and sometimes control, over their perception, impulses, and relationship to society.
The perception of group membership, whatever form it might take, is prioritised over individual character as displayed in one’s interpersonal relationships, employment, education, social security, and justice system.
Under this collectivist framework, the actions of any one individual might be reasonably attributed to or considered representative of a whole.
Subscribing to this school of thought has certain ramifications. Namely, the sanctity and autonomy of the individual can become lost, and an individual is at risk of being implicated in every thought, word, and deed of a group to which they are perceived to belong. This is how all white people become complicit in the transatlantic slave trade, all men become rapists-in-waiting, and, in the case of Amsterdam, all Jews become Israeli.
Individualism advocates for the polar opposite perspective. Whilst a person might have the physical features, education, or cultural ties of a certain demographic, these characteristics are regarded as bearing little to no relevance in the words and deeds of the individual.”

This is how safe it’s looking for Jews in Europe just now;

Ministry has released a new threat assessment for Jews in Europe,

You make your bed…. And you lie on it…
Nasty ill informed jew hate, you should be ashamed of yourself troll. How you’ve not been barred from this website is beyond me.
Lol… “jew hate”….. Id call out anyone indiscriminatly bombing children to desth in their 10s of 1000s..
Its not the ethnicity.. Its the actions…
“troll”.. Yep heard that one before… You dont like what i say.
You want me banned… Yep, Free speech goes out the window when you hear hurty words.. Are you a mate of Starmers?
Can you see how your indoctrination shines through
So, let me ask you, do the children of Gaza deserve being blown to bits..?
Tell me how im ill informed?
45k dead… 5 to 9 year olds 70% of deaths.
Prove me wrong…
You can’t possibly be that fooled not to see that this clearly corralates to the specific actions and conduct of the Israeli State.
Please explain why I should support Israel. Israel is a distant, foreign country. There are many other distant, foreign countries.
Should I support Israel because Jews are white, because they have implanted themselves in a location surrounded by Arabs, because they have subjected the original occupants of the area to an apartheid regime, because they subdue any uprisings with massive military might, because they indiscriminately bomb surrounding countries with impunity, because they happily extinguish human life, whether old or young, male or female, even the lives of their own Jewish citizens as collateral damage?
Why should anyone support such monstrous actions?
Quite, I truly admire your perseverance on these boards..
I honestly don’t think they will be capable of answering your extremely well presented and factual question…
Other than “so you support the Hamas terrorists then” sort of puerile, pathetic response…
I still remain shocked at how so many supposed intelligent adults can be so easily indoctrinated by msm narratives
It will not allow me like the post…
I know TY wife is Jewish but therrs something else going on..
I wonder who now owns The Daily Sceptic
Now this is getting bloody hilarious..
“with 5 countries identified as having a high or very high risk of physical assault”
Have you not seen the pictures of body parts in Gaza…
Question. Do you think this incident in Amsterdam would have occurred if Israel had not carried out the extensive indiscriminate bombing and killing of civilians in the ME over the past year?
(70 % of deaths being in the 5 to 9 year olds)
Its a yes or no…
So it’s ok then ?
No, don’t put words in to my mouth.
Care to answer the question?
If say Iran had carried out the same atrocities against Israel I would still be calling for the pointless slaughter to be stopped.. Are you understanding it yet…. Probably not
I see no one has actually answered the question
Media induced delusion… En mass
Nobody has responded because you will respond with nastiness and vitriol. You are inviting a conversation nobody deems necessary.
Even you cant answer it can you mate
Weve just had rememberance day, theres slaughter and global conflicts and you think its “unnecessary”.
Fuck me, youve just posted a load of bollocks because you cant, refuse to answer the question
be careful to ensure you are not a product of Media induced delusion…
And another than cant type Yes or No
You dont get induced in to owning some decency and humilty from the msm…. Their program is to polarise and make you sheeple unquestioningly pick sides…
Just like youve done….
Actually, I did read reports that it was a gang of Jewish youths who started taunting and attacking other people in Amsterdam first, and the violent reaction, quickly labelled as a “pogrom”, was in response to this. I’m sorry I didn’t save the news report references, because I thought they would be more widely known.
They’re introducing border checks here, for a six month period, apparently. It remains to be seen how problematic this will be crossing back and forth across the Belgian border;
”Dutch border police will begin carrying out extra checks at the Dutch border with Germany and Belgium from December 9, migration minister Marjolein Faber said on Monday.
Faber did not give any details about how the checks will work, apart from saying the Marechaussee will not get any extra officers to carry out the additional monitoring. Efforts will be made to minimise the impact on the shipment of goods and on cross-border commuters, Faber said.
EU member states are allowed to bring in border checks in special circumstances – such as public order issues – and France and Germany have already done so. The cabinet says the high number of refugees coming to the Netherlands means that the extra checks can be carried out within the terms of the Schengen agreement.”

This is the London killer who actually used an 18 inch machete to hack a man to death in the market. Not sure how the other two people are faring that were also attacked. I think when they declare from the outset the attack is ”not being treated as a terrorist attack” it’s code for ”but it’s the usual suspect who has mental health issues”, as if the millions of people in the UK suffering mental health problems go out and stab people shouting ”Allahu Akbar!”. These particular *mental health issues* seem to only affect a certain demographic;
”This apparently is the East Street market knife man MET police were very quick to declare this a mental health incident, and non terror related. Also, no description of the man was given.
Eye witnesses allege he was shouting Allahu Akbar. They are taking us for fools.”

Interesting speech by Milei to the UN. Well worth a listen.
That no longer exists Myra.
Assuming the link was to Milei’s speech of 24 Sep, this might help: https://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/javiermileiunga79.htm
I prefer to read than listen to an interpreter and watch a video – even if the translation is a bit clunky.
Much appreciated – thanks.

There were two bombshell reports from yesterday’s The Exposé.
The first, https://expose-news.com/2024/11/11/leaked-documents-from-germanys-rki/, relates how leaked documents from Germany’s RKI prove that they knew every aspect of the covid pandemic response was not science, it was political. The RKI knew very well there was no pandemic.
The second, https://expose-news.com/2024/11/11/covid-vaccines-were-intentionally-designed-to-harm/?jetpack_skip_subscription_popup, is a video from Mike Yeadon declaring that the covid “vaccines” were intentionally designed to injure, kill and cause infertility.
Dr Mike Yeadon exposed the C1984 “vaccines” virtually from the off. I possibly owe my life to Dr’s Yeadon and Vernon Coleman and thanks to them I stay well away from “vaccines.”
Dr Yeadon is worth following on his Telegram channel.

“The sexual encounter that led to Oxford student Alex being cancelled”
“Alexander Rogers wasn’t just ‘cancelled’ – he was bullied to death”
“How Oxbridge’s ‘self-appointed morality crusades’ took cancel culture too far”
Every media article ignores The Elephant in the Room: the WOMAN who lured him into her room for a one-night stand, then two days later revealed all the details of his “performance” to his friends behind his back, instead of going to the police if it was a criminal act. How many men could endure the sudden shock of this total public humiliation, spreading to the whole of Oxford University staff and students, as he imagined?
History also ignores The Woman who shamed Alexander the Great into burning down Persepolis, the capital of ancient Persia. He admired the great city his army had just conquered, and refused The Woman’s demand that he burn it down to satisfy her own personal grudge. Claiming to be bolder than him, she grabbed a torch and started burning down the city herself, to shame him and his men into following, which they foolishly did, stung by her taunts. And of course, he got the blame for what she instigated.
