Scotland: land of the unfree, home of the tattletales

The New Neo Posted on April 9, 2024 by neoApril 9, 2024

Newspeak again: according to Ireland’s PM, 9-year-old Hamas hostage Emily Hand merely wandered off without her GPS

The New Neo Posted on November 27, 2023 by neoNovember 27, 2023

And then she apparently came home, wagging her tail behind her. I would say that the man is incredibly stupid, except that I know he’s not. He’s being incredibly careful with words – like most good leftists – trying desperately … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on August 10, 2023 by neoAugust 10, 2023

… here’s a comment I just noticed at Instapundit: Ron deSantis just effectively committed suicide with the Republican base (and independents as well) by endorsing the 2020 election theft. Which of course Ron DeSantis did not do, as I wrote … Continue reading →

First, the claim: Next, the transcript: “If you could do anything at all, Joe, what would you do?” I said, “I’d cure cancer.” And they looked at me like, “Why cancer?” Because no one thinks we can. That’s why. And … Continue reading →
