DYSPEPSIA GENERATION

The Other McCain.

The 1979 psychological thriller When a Stranger Calls is a cult classic, famous for one line: “The call is coming from inside the house.”

That line came to mind Tuesday night after I learned about an interesting controversy on BlueSky, the left-wing echo chamber where many Trump-haters fled after Elon Musk bought Twitter in 2022. A Canadian feminist, Phoebe Maltz Bovy, recently published a book The Last Straight Woman: On Desiring Men. A website published a 23-paragraph excerpt of Ms. Maltz Bovy’s book and, when this excerpt was promoted on BlueSky, the book’s theme and its author were angrily denounced.

Of course, I immediately ordered the book from Amazon. Anything that sends the BlueSky crowd into paroxysms of apoplectic rage must be good. After skimming through the excerpt of The Last Straight Woman, however, I quickly located the nexus of Ms. Maltz Bovy’s problem, specifically in the sentence when she declares “we need to be looking for feminist approaches to female heterosexuality.”

Feminism has spent almost 200 years trying to turn women into defective men, men into defective women, and our culture into shit.

California’s Assembly Bill 1127 is sold as gun safety. In reality, it is the Sacramento Democrats engaging yet again in their favorite sport: punishing the law-abiding for the failures of the government.

The bill bars licensed dealers, beginning July 1, 2026, from selling so-called machinegun-convertible pistols—Glock-style handguns that criminals can illegally alter with switches. But the switch is already illegal. Converting a firearm into a machine gun is already illegal. Possessing an illegal machine gun is already illegal. So why do Sacramento Democrats answer a criminal felony by restricting a lawful purchase?

Why do they fear the pistol in the display case more than the felon in the alley?

This is not new. For decades, California Democrats have treated every criminal adaptation as an excuse to tighten the rules on citizens who were never the problem. Sacramento does not get tougher on criminals; it gets tougher on citizens. And it never works.

In 1989 came Roberti-Roos, with the promise that banning “assault weapons” would tame violence. Did gang members retire? Did criminals submit to statutory language? Of course not.

Every Democrat ought to have tattooed on his or her forhead CROOKS DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR GUN CONTROL LAWS.

Here is a trivia question: which continent suffers the most heat-related deaths per capita? By a wide margin, the dubious prize goes to… Europe. In the summer of 2022 alone, more than 61,000 Europeans died as a result of the heat.

In case you feel geographically confused: no, the equator does not run through Brussels. Thanks to its northern latitude, Europe in fact endures fewer heat days than almost any other inhabited region on Earth. How, then, can it hold the record for heat mortality? Part of the story is of course demographic. Europe has one of the oldest populations in the world, and the elderly are far more vulnerable to high temperatures. But age explains only a sliver of the gap. The United States is greying too, and Japan is older still than both—yet the risk of dying from heat in either country is dramatically lower.

The real explanation comes down to two letters Europe stubbornly refuses to learn: A/C. Across the continent, only about a fifth of homes have air-conditioning, against nearly 90 percent in the United States and more than 90 percent in Japan.

Sometimes it surprises me that European countries even allow flush toilets.

Budapest’s escalating flag war took another turn this week after dozens of Hungarian national flags appeared on Elisabeth Bridge, replacing the Pride banners that had flown there only days earlier.

The secret of the new flags was quickly revealed by El?d Novák, vice-president of the nationalist Our Homeland Movement (Mi Hazánk), who said he and members of the party’s youth wing had placed a Hungarian flag in every pole holder on the bridge. They did this before the city’s mayor could replace the Pride flags that had previously flown there until they were thrown into the Danube by a protester.

“Budapest belongs to everyone,” Novák wrote on Facebook. “That’s why it’s unacceptable for it to be appropriated by any party or political movement, such as the LGBTQETC lobby with its flags.”

“Instead of a foreign ideology imported from abroad, we proclaim patriotism and that we Hungarians have plenty to be proud of,” the party added in a statement.

With the fall of the Assad regime and the end of the Syrian civil war in December 2024, Syrian refugees have lost their legal basis for asylum and, therefore, their formal right to stay in Europe. In practice, however, most European countries have still not begun deporting them, and many of them don’t even want to.

Among them is Austria, where Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP/EPP) recently declared that large-scale remigration—a consistent demand of the national conservative FPÖ (PfE), Austria’s largest party—is unrealistic.

According to Karner, returning Austria’s 100,000-strong Syrian migrant community “is neither realistic nor reasonable, because I wonder how many hospitals would still be cleaned.”

Of course, this age-old argument about migrant labor is not only condescending to foreigners but can also be easily defeated by official statistics: only about 25% of Syrian refugees in Austria are employed, with full-time employment estimated to be as low as 15%.

The publication of the “Draft Report on the findings and recommendations of the Special Committee on the European Democracy Shield” should have been a clarifying democratic moment. Here, after all, was a committee of elected representatives established to examine one of the most ambitious political projects now being advanced in Brussels: the construction of a European Democracy Shield. Its task ought to have been obvious. Ask what this Shield is really for. Ask who defines the threats. Ask who watches the watchers. Ask whether ‘democratic resilience’ is becoming a polite term for the management of public opinion. Ask whether defending democracy from manipulation itself might become a means of manipulating democracy.

But Brussels has a genius for turning scrutiny into liturgy.

The Special Committee’s draft report reads less like a warning about the dangers of democratic overreach than a devotional hymn to it. The Commission’s Democracy Shield, we are told, is a necessary initiative, but apparently too modest, too hesitant, too lacking in operational muscle. It needs more structure, more coordination, more funding, more legal clarity, more enforcement, more monitoring, more permanent capacity and more institutional ballast. In other words, the Shield must be shielded from the terrible possibility that it might remain merely a shield.

A fire at a 500,000-square-foot Los Angeles warehouse covered in solar panels has blanketed nearby communities with smoke for days, prompting residents to ask a simple question: What exactly are we breathing?

The frozen-food storage facility, operated by Michigan-based Lineage Logistics, has walls densely lined with insulation. According to firefighters, the insulation continued to smolder as the days went on, even after the initial flames subsided, making it more difficult to put the fire out.

Residents have questioned whether hazardous substances associated with industrial fires—including toxic metals such as lead, chromium, and arsenic—could have been carried into surrounding neighborhoods through the smoke.

Eight people were each sentenced to 30 to 100 years in prison on Tuesday in connection with violence at a Texas federal immigration facility last year that prosecutors called domestic terrorism.

In the incident on July 4, 2025, prosecutors said Antifa militants wearing black tactical gear opened fire on law enforcement officers at Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, about 25 miles south of Fort Worth. A police officer was wounded.

“The sentences handed down today make clear that Antifa terrorists who attack law enforcement and federal facilities will face swift and uncompromising justice,” said acting Attorney General Todd Blanche in a statement.

Benjamin Song, who was convicted of attempted murder and who prosecutors said was the operation’s organizer, got the longest sentence of 100 years, according to court filings.

In hearings at U.S. District Court in Fort Worth, two judges announced sentences of 30 to 70 years for seven other defendants, most of whom were convicted in March on charges including rioting and supporting terrorism.

Scotland’s gamekeepers have issued a stark warning: they will not endorse the Scottish Government’s new Muirburn Code, a decision they claim is born not of defiance, but of a desperate need to prevent catastrophic wildfires. They argue that the new regulations, designed to protect peatlands, will ironically create a tinderbox, stripping them of the very tools needed to manage fuel loads and keep communities safe. In an era of “red warnings” and severe summer heat, the outcome of this policy, they assert, will be a disaster waiting to happen.

At the heart of the matter is a centuries-old land management practice. Muirburn, the controlled burning of vegetation, is a traditional tool used by gamekeepers to create a patchwork of habitats for wildlife, improve grazing, and crucially, to prevent wildfires by reducing combustible material. The Scottish Gamekeepers Association (SGA), which represents these professionals, says that the new Code, set to accompany a licensing regime coming into place, makes the practice “almost impossible” to carry out.

Gamekeepers point to several specific provisions they say are unworkable and dangerous. The most contentious is the new requirement for licensing to burn on peatlands, defined in the Act as land where peat exceeds 40cm in depth. To apply for a licence, gamekeepers must first probe and measure peat depth across the area they intend to manage. The SGA claims the prescribed methodology from government advisers, NatureScot, is so complex that it could take up to 60 days to survey a single estate, at a vast financial cost, with no guarantee a licence will even be granted.

It happened again.

A boy named Louis was killed by a mob of savages.

That’s right: Louis was supposed to be under the protection of the state.

Instead, he was beaten to a pulp and left for dead by people who share zero heritage or respect for France or Western culture.

The attack happened Friday night around 7 p.m. in the town of Narbonne. A construction worker found him at 9 a.m. the following morning. Remarkably, he still had a pulse, but died in an induced coma 3 days after the attack.

Three minors and two adults were arrested for his death.

Labour is poised to encourage farmers to give up beef production and plant lentils to help combat climate change.

On Wednesday, the Government’s long-awaited “farming roadmap” proposed helping landowners switch from high-emission farming – such as cattle – towards “growing oilseeds and pulses” to meet the increased demand for plant-based goods.

“Farmers will play a critical role in delivering this transition by adopting practices that reduce emissions while sustaining productive, commercially viable businesses,” the Government said.

The farming roadmap is intended to set out a long-term vision for British agriculture. It is seen as an attempt by the Government to win back support in the countryside after the family farm tax caused widespread rural unrest.

However, farmers criticised the move, saying the land used by cattle would be inappropriate for growing lentils because it was too wet.

The problem with a centrally planned economy is that when the planner are stupid or insane the entire country gets dragged along.

Surprise, surprise: There really is no such thing as a free bus.

One of New York City’s socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s key campaign promises was that he would provide free bus services to everyone in the city.

Not only is that goal seemingly not even in the medium-term plans for the mayor, but one of the programs he pointed to as a successful model has gone belly up.

Bloomberg News reported Tuesday that Kansas City, Missouri, ended its experiment to provide free bus services to people in the city. It will now begin charging riders for the service.

“Kansas City reinstated bus fares this month after six years, unwinding a closely watched experiment that inspired zero-fare transit campaigns across the U.S., including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s,” Bloomberg reported.

Kansas City’s free bus was sold as a cost-saving measure that would make ridership more “equitable.”

The city created the program with a major federal cash influx during the COVID-19 lockdowns. But it became financially untenable as the initial funds ran out in 2023 and the cost of operations reportedly climbed to $15 million a year, nearly double the initial projections.

Part of the problem is endemic to other “free” transportation services in big cities. Without the small amount of buy-in from customers and given the tendency of blue cities to tolerate mass homelessness and recidivism, these services naturally become more dangerous and more expensive.

unruly behavior. That was particularly the case in New York, following the Knicks’ June 13 clinching of the NBA championship. The parade that followed brought more chaos.

Following that victory over the San Antonio Spurs—the Knicks’ first title in 53 years—hooligans took to the streets, vandalizing as they went, including targeting and torching a school bus. Those in the crowd cheered. Police, meanwhile, could not visibly be seen.

As he showed footage of the chaos during Friday’s episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast” on the Daily Signal, host Tony Kinnett noted how those burning the school bus were both white and black. And the bus driver begging the crowd to stop was black. “The point of the story is that it is not about the race, it is all about the culture,” Kinnett observed.

The revelry of the parade was marred by random gunshots fired into the air to “just cause chaos and panic because that is the celebratory nature that has come out of some of these events,” as Kinnett mentioned.

Meanwhile, New York isn’t doing much to stop lawlessness. “There’s no condemnation of this from the city level. There’s nothing. [Mayor Zohran] Mamdani is busy running around patting himself on the back and praising Islamic migrant stuff,” Kinnett said, also addressing how liberals excuse such behavior as how “it just happens.”

The New York Department of Sanitation unveiled commemorative garbage cans to celebrate the Knicks’ win. (They’re also available online for purchase.) Fans reacted by stealing them, dumping out trash onto the city sidewalk to do so. People could be heard cheering in the background.

During the parade, an individual appeared to be passed out from a drug overdose on the roof of a platform, as individuals sought to help. Kinnett observed that it took place with a “cop standing there, doing very little, ’cause this is just normal behavior in New York.”

A federal judge in Minnesota, who has donated to an immigrant legal aid group, quashed several federal grand jury subpoenas of documents from Gov. Tim Walz and the mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul over compliance with immigration enforcement.

In a 29-page opinion issued Monday, Chief U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz of the District of Minnesota accused the Trump administration’s Justice Department of seeking to “harass political opponents” by initiating a criminal investigation and using grand jury subpoenas to pressure state and local officials into changing their immigration policies.

The judge has acknowledged being a donor for “many years” to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, an organization that provides free legal representation to low-income immigrants and refugees. Schiltz has also clashed with Immigration and Customs Enforcement over the agency’s alleged violation of court orders.

The grand jury subpoenas sought records related to federal immigration enforcement, including communications regarding cooperation or noncooperation with ICE and other federal immigration authorities; requests for assistance from immigration officials; communications among state and local officials concerning immigration enforcement; and training or guidance provided to employees regarding interactions with ICE.

The subpoenas were issued to the offices of Walz, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her, as well as the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners and the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners.

“Initiating a criminal investigation in order to harass political opponents or to coerce them into taking official action—particularly official action that the federal government cannot directly require those political opponents to take—is a blatantly unlawful and unethical use of the grand jury process,” Schiltz wrote.

As reported in last night’s news feed, yesterday a gunman went on a rampage in the heavily Jewish Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood of Montreal, killing a police officer and wounding another one before being shot dead by police.

Much more information on the incident is available today. The gunman’s name was Seth Hatfield, and he hailed from Alberta. It appears that he ignored civilian passersby and targeted police. The civilian who was shot to death, a rabbi named Michael Moshe Mizrahi, was in fact killed by a policewoman who shot him by mistake.

Mr. Hatfield left behind a 104-page manifesto. [Of course he did.] A copy was obtained and watermarked by Rebel News, and all the versions I’ve seen online so far appear to be copied from that one. I have a copy, but since it is widely available, both at Rebel News (PDF) and on Twitter, I see no point in uploading it here. However, if it starts to be suppressed by the Canadian government (which seems not at all unlikely), I’ll put a copy up where people can get it. It’s dense and turgid, like most such manifestos, and even includes footnotes. I have no real interest in reading the whole thing.

People who only read MSM reports on the incident will be misled into thinking that “incel” ideology was the primary motivator for the shooter’s rampage. However, there is much more to it than that: he was a Marxist who railed against capitalism and large corporations. In the manifesto he quotes The Communist Manifesto directly, so lining him up as “far right” seems a bit of a stretch.

In addition to hating women, he also hated “Zionists”. Also, he was particularly enraged by the pornography industry.

European governments are already drawing up plans to send rejected asylum seekers to deportation centres in Africa and Central Asia after Brussels last week approved a major overhaul of EU migration rules. The move marks a significant shift for an EU that spent years resisting many of the same ideas now being promoted by member states.

The first of these offshore deportation centers—known in Brussels jargon as “return hubs”—could soon be built in Rwanda and Uzbekistan, according to diplomats who spoke to Politico.

The development marks a remarkable shift in European migration policy. Just a few years ago, Denmark’s plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda was fiercely criticised across Europe, while Italy’s attempt to process migrants in Albania became the target of repeated legal challenges. Today, governments across the EU are exploring similar arrangements for rejected asylum seekers.

At this stage, the member states reportedly in talks with the Rwandan and Uzbek governments include Denmark, Austria, Greece, Germany, and the Netherlands, but others may soon join them as well. Their goal is to have these facilities up and running as early as next year.

Polish President Karol Nawrocki has warned that Poland must not follow what he called the failed Western European model of using immigration to address demographic decline, arguing that the approach has created social problems without solving falling birth rates.

Speaking at the Poland Future Summit in Warsaw on Monday, the conservative president said Poland should respond to its demographic crisis by strengthening families and encouraging higher birth rates rather than relying on migration.

“Migration has not solved the problem; it has only brought ghettoisation, assimilation problems, social unrest, and everything else Western Europe is grappling with today,” Nawrocki said.

“This is not, and will not be, the Polish path. We will not replace the demographic crisis by succumbing to migration pressure.”

Mere millionaires in California are now eyeing the exits over fears that a billionaire tax could be tweaked to target smaller fortunes, a tax advisor to the mega-rich revealed.

Ah, people who learn from history: A rare breed.

The proposed 5% wealth tax on billionaires was just cleared for the November ballot this week — but California’s millionaires were already spooked about the ramifications of the controversial proposed levy, said David Lesperance, a tax advisor to high-net-worth families.

You don’t wait until the tiger is at your door before you escape out the back.

Now the tax guru told The Post that it isn’t just billionaires hatching plans to potentially exit California over the controversial proposal, backed by SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West and lefty pols like Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

The income tax was introduced as ‘a little tax targeting the rich’ and now soaks up about a quarter of everyone’s income. Statists—and all socialists are statists—never lose their appetites for spending other people’s money.

Helicopters are generally recognized as the best ASW platform above the surface; another submarine being the best ASW platform below the surface, of course. Unfortunately, this leads to the widespread mindset that every ship must have helos embarked for ASW.
The problem with the concept of helos on every ship is that the aviation element of a ship is shockingly expensive. A helo needs a flight deck (something on the order of 80ft x 50ft), hangar (another 80ft x 50 ft), dedicated weapon magazines, fuel storage, maintenance shops and parts storage, pilot and maintainer berthing (and food, water, etc.). The extra 160ft x 50ft of ship size means more power is needed to move the ship which means bigger engines which requires more ship size which … You get the idea.

Another problem is that helos are only sporadically available, being notorious for needing maintenance at inconvenient times.

Sure, there’s a penalty to be paid for putting helos on every ship but, really, what’s the alternative since we need ASW? Well, one alternative is ASROC (anti-submarine rocket). ASROC began back when submarines still had to get fairly close to their target in order to attack. Today, submarines can attack with torpedoes or missiles from far beyond ASROC range (vertical launch ASROC has a range of around 12 nm). What’s needed is a much longer range ASROC, perhaps on the order of a hundred miles. Given that we have thousand mile cruise missiles I can’t see any problem with developing a hundred mile ASROC.
In the past, ASROC used arm launchers, box launchers, and common VLS cells. The flexibility in launch mechanism means that some kind of suitable launcher can be placed on any ship tasked with ASW.

The caption on the post said Goldman’s money is “probably coming from AIPAC anyways” and told Goldman never to come back. The post was accompanied by the song “F— You” by British singer-songwriter Lily Allen.

Jewish community leaders immediately condemned the post, which was deleted when Poetica Coffee deactivated its account Monday.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said a man with direct ties to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) tried to enter the United States with the Iranian national soccer team during the World Cup.

“When we started doing the research on him, he had only been put in place since 2022, and we didn’t allow him to board the plane,” Mullin said in a TV interview Sunday. “The guy trying to get on the plane yesterday had direct ties to IRGC.”

The Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran (FFIRI) called Mullin’s allegation “an outright lie.”

“The claim that an official representative of the Iranian football federation attempted to board a flight to enter the United States yesterday and was prevented from doing so is an outright and undeniable lie. This claim is so unfounded that those who made it are well aware that such an incident never occurred in the first place,” FFIRI said.

“It is regrettable that a senior U.S. official has resorted to spreading false statements and misinformation in order to justify restrictions imposed on members of the Iranian national team delegation,” FFIRI added.
