Where is the FBI’s Rubicon?

After the Mar-a-Lago raid, when will the public stop standing for this?

Everyone knows that in January 49 BC Julius Caesar, about to lead part of his army across the Rubicon river, said “Alea iacta est,” “the die is cast.” Except that, according to Plutarch, what he really said was “Ἀνερρίφθω κύβος,” “let the die be cast,” and he did not so much say it as quote it, since the already-proverbial line came from the Greek playwright Menander. Anyway, in bringing an army across the stream that separated cis-Alpine Gaul from Italy proper, Caesar had committed treason. In crossing the Rubicon he had crossed a line, sparking the civil war that engulfed Rome and formalized the end of the Republic that had, as Caesar himself noted, been dead in all-but-name-only for decades.

‘Starting to Fail’: Britain Says Russia Is Stalling Out in Ukraine

British defense secretary Ben Wallace claimed Thursday that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, now in its sixth month, had “faltered” and was “starting to fail.” The claim came amid several high-profile setbacks for the invading forces and Western nations’ increasing delivery of high-tech weaponry to the Ukrainian side.

Wallace’s remarks came at a conference in Copenhagen, where 26 countries in North America and the European Union agreed to provide an additional $1.5 billion for Ukraine’s military. Although the secretary observed that the fighting had continued and thousands of additional casualties could be expected on both sides, the Russian attack was “starting to fail in many areas,” referencing the failure of Russia’s initial attack on Kyiv and its subsequent transfer of most of its forces to the eastern Donbass region.

Why did we ever let male rapists into women’s prisons?

A decade after dismissing feminists as ‘obnoxious bigots’, UK justice secretary Dominic Raab is soon expected to come out in a pink pussy hat to ‘reclaim the night’. Well, almost. According to the Mail on Sunday, Raab is planning a change of policy to ensure that women in Britain’s prisons, some of the most vulnerable women in the country, will no longer be locked up with men. Tearing down the patriarchy might not be at the top of Raab’s agenda, but in this one move to protect female prisoners, he has done more for vulnerable women than many self-proclaimed feminist politicians ever have.

Dark Brandon is proof the Left can’t meme

Plagiarising Right-wing humour points to a lack of originality

After a couple of legislative wins during the week, Joe Biden’s supporters sought to capitalise on the sudden turnaround in his fortunes by doing a little light shitposting. This meant widespread sharing of “Dark Brandon” memes, images of Biden ominously threatening to end the “Malarkey”, with eyes aglow and lightning coming out of his fingers. They’re a direct rip-off of similar Trump-related memes that have been popping up on the internet over the last few months.

Tablet: It’s not anti-Semitic to talk about George Soros’ criminal justice reform efforts

Academic Who ‘Studied‘ Masturbating to Child Porn Under Investigation

Police have launched an investigation into a British PhD candidate who has published a “research” paper centring around him masturbating to child porn, Breitbart News can reveal.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) has said that an investigation has been launched after University of Manchester student Karl Andersson published a PhD research paper on his personal experiences of masturbating to the “Shotacon” subgenre of Japanese manga comic books that focus on often highly sexualised portrayals of prepubescent or pubescent boys.

Jamil Jivani: Conservatism is the new counterculture, Liberals are ‘the man’

Conservative politics are resonating with young Canadians, according to recent polls. Pierre Poilievre is getting much of the credit for this growth in support.

Political observers are trying to figure out what’s going on. And I might have some helpful insights to explain.

Arizona reveals new border wall with Mexico: ‘We’re done waiting’

The state of Arizona will not wait for the Biden administration to build a border wall on the U.S.-Mexico boundary and instead has chosen to go it alone, erecting its own state-funded barrier to stop an unprecedented flow of illegal immigrants.

Gov. Doug Ducey‘s top advisers announced in a call with reporters Friday morning that construction began “six minutes ago” on a portion of the Yuma, Arizona, border where gaps of land between Trump-era wall projects exist as a result of President Joe Biden’s January 2021 order to stop building the barrier.

Don’t Believe the White House’s Promises About Who the New IRS Will Audit

As the House of Representatives, as early as this afternoon, prepares to give the Internal Revenue Service the biggest single funding boost in its history, top Democrats have been busy escalating their already implausible claims that goosing the IRS enforcement budget by 69 percent over a decade, hiring 87,000 additional new staffers at an agency that currently employs 79,000, and nabbing an estimated extra $124 billion in tax revenue will miraculously not bring any percentage increase in audits performed on Americans earning less than $400,000 a year.

Hunter Biden laptop repairman John Paul Mac Isaac says FBI agent threatened him to hush up

John Paul Mac Isaac said two federal agents came to his Mac Shop in Wilmington, Del. in December 2019 to recoup the laptop following a subpoena, he details in his new book “American Injustice: My Battle to Expose the Truth.”

The repairman, who had volunteered to hand the laptop over to the feds two months earlier, said the alleged threat came after he made a joke, telling them: “Hey, lads, I’ll remember to change your names when I write the book.”

“Agent Wilson kept walking but Agent DeMeo paused and turned to face me,” Paul Mac writes of the encounter.

Isaac said the agent then told him: “It is our experience that nothing ever happens to people that don’t talk about these things.”
