In case you missed it, Brits voted to leave the European Union, what was called BrExit, by a margin of 51.9% to 48.1%. The UK Telegraph has an interesting breakdown of the vote by UK nation and area. Now, many wondered why Donald Trump would take a few days in the middle of a campaign […]

The UK Telegraph published quite a few letters, most of which were in favor of Leave, as in, leaving the European Union. This one should have been the lead SIR – It grieves me that politicians and academic colleagues among the Remainers prefer the arguments of financial gain to the principles of freedom, independence and self-government […]

This is all working so well. “Refugees”, comprised primarily of young fighting age men, stream into Europe. Idiots get all teary eyed about their plight and welcome them with open arms (but not open homes, because they aren’t that stupid). The refugees sexually abuse and rape women. They deface property. They poop in public pools. […]

I would have ended that headline with “Or Something”, but I did that in the previous post. The NY Times Editorial Board does think all these refugees out of war-torn Syria are super awesome, though Europe Should See Refugees as a Boon, Not a Burden Many European leaders have described the refugees who are risking […]

Yes, yes, when it comes to “climate change”, Prince Charles is a complete boob, and a major hypocrite. That in no way means that he isn’t correct on other subjects. He’s a big supporter of the U.K. military, and apparently not a big fan of Muslims being radicalized. Of course, his words are considered “controversial” […]

I suppose my big question is “how long will this last?” Most of Europe, which certainly leans primarily to the left, has pushed diversity and tolerance and multiculturalism, all while ignoring the threat from Islamists, be they violent or simply espousing and believing in notions of Sharia law and an Islamic state. So, call me […]

The NY Times seems surprised that entrepreneurs and the money class are bolting from France Guillaume Santacruz, an aspiring French entrepreneur, brushed the rain from his black sweater and skinny jeans and headed down to a cavernous basement inside Campus London, a seven-story hive run by Google in the city’s East End. It was late […]

We already know that “climate change” ranks at the bottom of concerns for American citizens. How about for the EU? Bjorn Lomborg finds an interesting study EU likes to say “climate change is one of the greatest challenges of the modern age.” But its citizens don’t think so. They focus on unemployment, the economic situation, […]

This is the logical extension of “smart grid” policies (UK Daily Mail) Fridges and freezers in millions of British homes will automatically be switched off without the owner’s consent under a ‘Big Brother’ regime to reduce the strain on power stations. The National Grid is demanding that all new appliances be fitted with sensors that […]

Also, because the idiots in the Central Planning Office have enacted legislation relying on barely workable and really expensive alternatives (via Tom Nelson) (Spiegel) With energy costs escalating, more Germans are turning to wood burning stoves for heat. That, though, has also led to a rise in tree theft in the country’s forests. Woodsmen have […]
