					<description><![CDATA[Barry Meislin:

When it comes to the west and Israel, for moslems, taquia (fundamental falsity), is always in operation.

In other words, the south Asians (pakis et al.) Saudis, Qattar (and Tucker) are little better than the twelvers (IIRG).]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Re Barry’s news share.

The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem (a high Muslim cleric),
found support from Hitler and therefore moved to
Berlin during WWII. They both thought that raising
an Army from the Ottoman Empire’s leftover lands to kill Jews 
was a fine thing to do!

I just noticed that some 12 or 14 years ago, Andrew Bostom
wrote short monograph on this topic. I have yet to read it.

But as I understand it, only an Army of fighters from Croatia 
was raised to help to Germans against Brits in Greece.

Reading between the lines from other sources, however, tells me that their shared ambitions to exterminate the Jews really foundered on the Muslim population’s lack of literacy.

Care of weapons, as well as being a modern soldier, required
this skill to become effective warriors. Radio support was not
good enough for hands on dirty work.

Suffice it today, this barrier to Muslim Power is disappearing rapidly.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The greater issue presented by the invasion of Spanish Cuesta by Moroccans and Muslims seeking succour and citizenship is that it is only a symptom. The greater issue is Western Civilizational decline.

Two initial points made by historian Raymond Ibrahim are that he sees historical continuities and chaos, respectively.

The Islamic Jihad first came to Europe through the same spit of land called Ceuta in 711 AD. Thus, we see history repeating itself. Back then, the local Iberian king of the Visigoths fought the invaders and lost his life doing so. His Christian brethren ultimately retreated to what is now Northwest Spain.

Muslim invaders are simply repeating invaision albeit without over violence. But their war cry “Allahu Akbar” or “ours is the greater God” is the same.

Ibrahim’s second point is chaos and confusion by the West. The Pattern is obvious, however, and it really is a multi-step process, now facilitated by our Ruling Class who remain governed by denial and complimentary rationalizations to stay unmoved by the evidence of common sense.

Therefore, he says, the problem is Western governments leaders.

The entire interview is bracing. And alarming if you know We are under attack…from without and treason within.

Peter Boghossian.”  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtU4_IwN0GI&#038;t=1083s]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Legal Insurrection has a post suggesting that the WNBA may have failed to consider the second-order affects of their woke posturing, after Enes Kanter Freedom and another NBA star (Royce White) declare they want to be in the draft pool.

https://legalinsurrection.com/2026/08/two-former-nba-players-declare-for-wnba-after-coaches-tout-transgender-inclusivity/
&lt;blockquote&gt;As of this writing, the WNBA itself has not released an official statement. But I’m sure if they do, they will completely gloss over the larger point these former NBA players were trying to make and will include a whole lot of yada yadaing about… “inclusivity and respect.”

UPDATE 5:20 PM EST: The WNBA may finally be forced to confront the question its own players and coaches have helped create. According to Clay Travis, the league’s commissioner says the WNBA will meet to review its eligibility standards following the declarations by the two former NBA players. The original story noted that the league itself had yet to issue an official response.

After two former first round NBA draft picks declared for @wnba draft, &lt;b&gt;the WNBA’s commissioner says the league will be meeting to review what a woman is for purposes of league eligibility. &lt;/b&gt;These meetings need to be streamed live. That’s must see TV. https://t.co/wEdwVa05Up

					<description><![CDATA[Digging into the YouTube comments on the “Run Hide Fight: INFIDELS” trailer, one comment made me LOL! Because both correct and sad at the same time.

 jelly.212 wrote this morning:

“This movie perfectly captures modern day america. 

“&#062; Jewish producer [Ben Shapiro]
&#062; Black lead with criminal past [Jonathan Majors]
&#062; Anti Islam but not because of like making an ethnostate nope ( too far)
&#062; Is pro christian (the religion with the most…white followers) 
??
&#062; Aimed at boomers (who ruined the west with their policies)
 Haha perfect.”

It’s tough to argue ANY of these points. (Save my edit to the Christian line, which was erroneously posted as “non white” instead.)

UPDATE 
One of my favored right leaning movie YouTubers is “Film Threat.” The two guys give their 8m reaction in this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuPJicE2WU0

It’s begging for reaction by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who’s journeyed from Islam to Dutch liberalism to atheism and Christianity. I’d pay to view THAT. Too.]]></description>

Re Niketa’s post on Rapinoe and Women’s Soccer: it is the case that they are in denial of what apples to apples and oranges to oranges means when faced with the contrasting fruits of apples and oranges.
