‘Wiggly road lines’

Locals left baffled by ‘Balamory from hell’ road layout

Bemused locals have slammed the use of “wiggly lines” in a controversial road scheme in Somerset, claiming the new layout has turned the town into “Balamory from hell”.

North Somerset Council started work on the new road layout along The Beach in Clevedon last autumn, with many local residents and businesses objecting to the changes.

The road scheme has seen a 400-metre segregated cycle lane installed along the seafront and the parking reconfigured. The road has also been made one way.

How the world’s media reacted to Prince Harry’s book Spare

“There’s TMI [too much information] and then there’s whatever is happening here,” winced The Cut, the liberal American women’s bible. “A shrooms trip at Courtney Cox’s house? Blaming William and Kate for his infamous Nazi Halloween costume? Frostbitten penis?!”

This is the outlet that put the Duchess of Sussex on a special magazine cover in August after being granted exclusive access to her Montecito mansion. But far from being a sympathetic ear, it epitomised much of the world media’s reaction to the duke’s revelations in his memoir.

Chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp threatens Charlie Hebdo’s staff: “Take a look at what happened to Salman Rushdie”

“I advise the French and directors of the Charlie Hebdo magazine to take a look at the fate of Salman Rushdie,” Major General Hossein Salami said on Tuesday during a ceremony in Zahedan in southeast Iran, where the heads of tribes, trustees, Shia and Sunni scholars, a group of respected family of the martyrs and a group of Sistan and Baluchistan province’s officials were also present

“Do not play with Muslims, Salman Rushdie insulted the Quran and the holy Prophet of Islam 30 years ago and hid in dangerous places,” the IRGC chief added.

“After many years, a young Muslim took brave revenge on Salman Rushdie and no one could save him. Where is he now? Which situation is he in? We don’t know,” he added.

Liberal media is trying to protect the FBI from hard questions about illegal surveillance

Besides addressing the crisis at the southern border, there is no more urgent matter for the new Republican House majority to direct its attention to than the conversion of the federal government into a progressive cudgel against civil rights. And there is nothing less surprising than the media-Democrat complex’s determination to strangle the probe in its cradle.

In the left’s playbook, everything is either about race or Donald Trump — if not both. So as night follows day, with House Republicans poised to establish a much needed Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, Democrats and their press accomplices are framing the panel as an adjunct of the 2024 Trump presidential campaign.

ISIS terrorist smiled after NYC bike path attack, gave ‘proud confession’: feds

The terrorist who allegedly killed eight people by ramming into them with a truck on a lower Manhattan bike path smiled at the thought of his murderous rampage while giving a proud confession to an FBI agent soon after the 2017 attack, a federal prosecutor said at the start of his trial Monday.

Sayfullo Saipov, 34, repeatedly proclaimed his support for ISIS after the attack, including to an FBI agent who is set to testify at his terrorism trial in Manhattan federal court, Assistant US Attorney Alexander Li told jurors in his opening statement.

“He smiled at the memory of his attack and asked for an ISIS flag to hang in his hospital room,” Li said, adding Saipov was eager to speak with the FBI and provide a “proud confession.”

The Dossier acquires confidential Davos attendees list

The attendees list is a massive roster of some of the most influential and diabolical forces in the corporate, governmental and “non-profit” world. From the United States, this includes the likes of FBI director Chris Wray, the CEOs of Amazon, BlackRock, and Pfizer, top officials at the Gates Foundation and in the Soros network, and the Publisher of The New York Times, to name a few.

… The World Economic Forum is a fanatical political organization masquerading as a neutral entity, with specific policy goals that involve centralizing power into the possession of hand-picked global elites as the only means to save the earth from a claimed climate emergency.

Ilhan Omar, Adam Schiff, and Eric Swalwell confirmed to lose powerful positions

Several high-profile House Democrats are poised to be removed from their coveted committee assignments as Republicans take control of the lower chamber and usher in a new era of priorities, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) confirmed on Monday.

McCarthy has long vowed to remove some Democrats from their top positions in retaliation for the removal of some Republicans from their committee assignments in the last Congress, such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who was stripped of all her committees in 2021. As part of his plans, the Republican leader has specifically targeted Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Adam Schiff (D-CA), and Eric Swalwell (D-CA).

Royal family thinks Prince Harry has been ‘kidnapped by a cult of psychotherapy and Meghan’

Prince Harry’s family believes he’s been “kidnapped by a cult of psychotherapy” and his wife, Meghan Markle, according to a report.

Harry admitted in his memoir, “Spare,” that as far back as 2019, Prince William feared his brother “was being ‘brainwashed’” by therapy — sparking the final fight in their tense relationship.

Now a royal source has told the Independent that the family fears it has fully lost him to the cult-like beliefs it clearly blames on his California actress wife, Markle.

Feds Proposing to Ban Natural Gas Stoves for Cooking

The timing here is genuinely ridiculous. It’s as if the federal government, specifically the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, led by… Richard Trumka Jr (yes, that guy’s son)… doesn’t think or care that we can see the real issue is to change energy uses.

Now that Russia has been isolated from natural gas sales, the European Union needs the supply of all other natural gas markets in order to keep itself from freezing to death. Simultaneously, natural gas as an energy resource is now bad, terrible like oil and coal, amid the climate change cult.

Africa’s Sahel Region: Enter Russia’s Wagner Group to Make It Worse

The Islamic Jihadist challenge to the legitimacy and sovereignty of post-colonial nation-states throughout the entire expanse of the African continent’s Sahel region is seriously worsening.

To begin with, the internecine warfare between jihadist groups in the West African states of the Sahel, just south of the Sahara Desert, has become an existential threat to the legitimacy of the region’s national governments.
