  1. A lot of different voices they have. But what I found interesting is that I have never heard of most of these birds. Shouldn’t be surprised though.

  2. I am very surprised that the US voted against it. Biden is making noises about stopping Israel. Shame on the UK. When Argentina attacks the Falkland’s again maybe the US should vote against the UK.

  3. United Kingdom is awash in Pakistani Muslims, including the recent London mayor. It is part of Eurabia, thanks especially to Angela Merkel.
    The Turkish workers imported to sustain the German “economic miracle” in the 1950s, due to the need to offset the many military deaths of German conscripts under Hitler yielding an attenuated workforce, remain Muslim Turks after several generations in Deutschland. Assimilation? NO. Domination? YES.

  4. SHIREHOME:

    Perm member France voted for it. Temps Japan, South Korea, and Switzerland voted for it. Meanwhile, Russia is still murdering Ukrainians…the UN is useless.

  5. I was watching hitchcock’s remake of his own film from 1934, and typical of the genre the motive was murky, they both start in Morocco and end at Royal Albert Hall

  6. Republicans need to a very vocal push to reassert private property rights.
    Property rights are under attack in America thru the following ways:

    1. Asset seizure laws without due process. Example A being the mass seizure of private bank vaults in California. Unfortunately, Republicans are not clean on this issue, either. Matt Schaefer, a very conservative member of the Texas legislature, tried to push thru a bill to limit asset seizure in Texas. It did not get thru the Republican legislature!!!

    2. Squatters. This is part of anarchy-tyranny and must be fought against

    3. Property crime. Also part of anarchy -tyranny.

    4. Aggressive use of eminent domain for non public use based on perceived tax increase by forcing one private property owner to sell to another private property owner. Trump had a history of supporting aggressive eminent domain seizure on two continents! One reason I am not weeping for Trump personally on this unjust, recent lawsuit. I hope it wakes him up to what he has supported in the past. I am more concerned about the precedent being set here.

    5. Use of lawfare. Must be reigned in. Recent example being Trump lawsuit.

  7. One other. Related to squatters.
    Allowing the ” homeless” to take over streets and sidewalks in front of tax paying business and homeowners and even renters. Enforce the building codes on the homeless!

  8. property is theft, wasn’t that what kropotkin said unless its one of the elect, like the Obamas or Black Rock’s fink, scam bankrupt freed, (ht tucker) stole how much, how much was recovered from his associates

    these tactics was how khodokorsky took control of Yukos, btw, so Putin stole it back and put him in an icebox, not quite at the Arctic, as mentioned before thats what breeden did to conrad black, enabled by patrick fitzgerald,

  9. Re the current mayor of London: I understand why Muslim Londoners would have voted for him. But why did Indo-European (i.e. (white Brits)? What about African (black) Londoners?

    My last journey to that corner of the globe was a trip to Ireland over 20 years ago. I saw/encountered no black persons, no Middle Easterners, and no Eastern European immigrants either. I guess that’s no longer the case.

    I’m told O’Connell Street is now swarming with diversity. And dangerous. If that’s the case . . . It surely isn’t my great-grandfather’s Ireland.

    What a pity.

  10. its not merely that hes indian, but he was an attorney for at least one if not more terrorist suspects, trans atlantic plot among others, the opponent was james goldsmith’s son, (the father was the model for terence stamps character in wall street, the rival to douglas’s gecko) one of the founders of the independence movement, which later became brexit, he was gauche enough to point this out,

    so the Tom fontana sequel to the Maltese Falcon, set in the South of France, did a decent job rendering spade’s whereabouts but then they had to virtue signal, so a very aware character for 1963, was introduced and failed to stick the landing,

  11. I liked Monsieur Spade. Snappy noir dialogue and a reasonably engaging plot. And Clive Owen was terrific.

  12. well he was very good, the last part was a little off putting, Owen does have the rhythm of the dialog down pat, who would think a quiet French village would be more troublesome that San Francisco, obviously the girl is his daughter

    this is somewhat what they tried to do with the Two Jakes, but Nicolson couldn’t really pull it off

  13. like I say, they failed to stick the landing so some of the minor characters were sacrificed in the exercise, I guess considering this is the same guy behind Oz, he was somewhat sentimental

  14. sdferr:

    Maybe, but the mantle is a bit deep, and geologists are known to be “arm wavers, as in ‘See that mountain over there? That proves my point.’ ”

    Geophysicists and geochemists may be out on a limb here. There was a period of intense cratering during the formation of the Earth, <<< PreCambrian (?) billions of years ago (IIRC).

    I will have to watch it (the video).

    But what about climate change and CO2!!!

  15. Tucker interviews Lydia Brimelow, who with her husband run VDare. Whether you not you agree with their views on immigration, they have a right to express themselves– but not if the SPLC and NY AG Letticia James have their way.

    What makes this timely is the fact that they have been battling NY for years. It turns out they were incorporated in NY 25 years ago. Why don’t they just reincorporate in a different state? Because, according to Lydia, you can move out of NY unless you get permission from the AG’s office. You can’t sell off assets without permission. You can’t even dissolve the organization without permission of the AG.

    George Soros is now getting a return on his investment in leftist DA/AG’s.

    As the left perfects it’s lawfare, it’s only going to get worse.
