Bloodshed at Bondi and Brown. The UK censors Nellie Bowles. Tyler Cowen on the death of reading. Erika Kirk talks to Bari Weiss. And much more in today's Front Page.
Horrific acts of violence towards students and Jews. When will it end? And don't tell me this is the second Amendment's fault here in America. Lefties and anti-semites are flexing their muscle. Only Israel will stop it. America needs to do its part, too.
Bari and Erika had a great town hall dialogue. Kudo's to both, despite the Anti-Trump questions that were asked.
Leave it to liberal Hollywood to make mish/mash of the Orwell book, Animal Farm. Another movie that I won't see...
"Instead of being an allegory about the dangers of totalitarian Marxism, as Orwell’s book was, the film, set for release next May, appears to focus on the dangers of capitalism and corporate corruption."
Of course it does. I was honestly surprised when it became clear that the latest "Knives Out" installment includes an anti-Trump theme. Watching movies in theaters? I'm not sure I even want to watch new movies at home. They seem to all be recycling the same anti-Trump story line. Perhaps there's an interesting take now and then, but it's gotten tiresome....at least for me.
Apologies in advance, but I've really enjoyed at least two Hollywood movies of 2025: Jay Kelly and Hamnet. Jay Kelly covers themes of stardom, authenticity, aging, family, the cost of success (and more) - timeless themes. Hamnet explores family grief (and gender differences in how they are dealt with), ambition, the transformation of pain into art, and more - again timeless themes.
"A British law intended to protect kids is suppressing debate for everyone."
So, the wankers that covered up the Paki pedo gangs wants to protect kids now?
The cops already have their hands full, don'tcha know? Terribly busy monitoring old ladies praying outside an abortion clinic, or interrogating a UK citizen returning home who posted a video of himself firing a gun in the US, or monitoring the tweets of UK citizens in case they post something "dangerous".
Meanwhile the flood of immigrants continues apace. Mixed in with the flood are some very excitable "lads" that are very stabby and gang-rapey. However, you should not complain too loudly about the "lads", as that might draw unwanted attention from your local wanker cop...
Well, the left got what they wanted from their hero, the commie Mandani, and that is global intifada.
Support Hamas and antisemitism. Vote for the left/communist parties.
Islam, the religion of peace, my ass!
The only sane nation in the Middle East is Israel. When is the left going to pull their heads out of their ass and realize that Islam is a religion of hatred and violence? If you don't believe me, read a history of Islam.
When was the last time you heard of a Christian, Jew, Hindu, or Buddhist wearing a suicide vest?
The left hates Western Civilization because of abortion, homosexuality, tranny’s, capitalism, Colonialism, etc. they’re brainwashed fools contributing to their own demise.
Yes, they’re ignorant of history, especially the history of Communism and its consequences.
Let’s be kind and say that Tim Miller is just naïve as opposed to the corrupt, gerrymandered incompetent, democratic, legislators, and governor of systematically dismantled a great state. Unfortunately, this represents all the states currently governed by Democrats. Who are now terrified that Trump is mounting a counter revolution to stupidity..
Should we be surprised, shocked, appalled, horrified by JewHatred taken to the inevitable?
JewHatred, either overt or masquerading as anti-Zionism, is seen in the streets, on college campuses, on line & in the media.
Is this 1936 Deutschland? All that's missing are swastikas. Perhaps if we look closer at Palestinian & Hamas flags we'll recognize a familiar symbol, the Devil's symbol of evil. Henry Ford, Father Coughlin, Fuentes, Mandamni, Omar, Tlaib, Col. Sanders, Tucker with an "F", Owens are all indistinguishable.
Obuma, Highden Biden & Giggle the Dolt in their inaction permitted JewHatred to become mainstream.
Israel is the only country considered a pariah not deserving of existence. Well what about North Korea, South Africa, Cuba? Don't ask because they're not JEWISH! Permitting a Jewish state just because 6-8 million Jews, including 1.5 million Jewish children, were slaughtered while the world watched surely is irrational. REALLY!
Beware, Allahu Akbar is coming to a theatre near you. Be prepared. Don't tarry!
It is so like the socialists that own Hollywood content to try and take a time tested criticism of socialism and communism like Animal Farm and turn it to a criticism of freedom and capitalism which are hallmarks democratic success in the world today. Hollywood is foundering and this is the reason. The world is tired of the politically progressive rant of these socialists and has turned away.
2 years ago in Newton, Ma. A bunch of Jews held a pro Israel rallying front of their synagogue and a man was harassing them. He eventually charged across the street and tackled an ex-Marine and started pummeling him. The Marine drew his legally owned firearm and shot his attacker and guess who got arrested?
Our former AG, Martha Coakley, famously stated year’s ago,”We don’t encourage civilians to take matters into their own hands, call the Police and wait for them to arrive”. 🤨
Bad news all around EXCEPT for Israel taking out yet another Hamas terrorist “leader”. If he’s a leader, what are we to make of the “followers” like the killers in Australia ?
Regarding affordability crisis (12/11/2025 commenting turned off). During Biden administration there was a reference to “temporary inflation”. This temporary inflation resulted in a permanent increase in prices which will stick even if inflation is ZERO. Trump can reduce the price of some things like gas or eggs by increasing the supply or reducing regulations, but this is limited. Giving people money does not fix the problem. Nobody is willing to take a pay cut….
It’s telling which quotes Ollie chose for his blurb on Ayann Hirsi Ali’s article, avoiding the most significant point she makes, that jihadist Islam can only be countered if it’s understood to be an existential threat to the West and its Judeo -Christian values.
The massacre at Bondi Beach is the end and dare we say in certain quarters hoped for result of Brown Shirt behavior we've been witnessing for years. Our schools teach it and condone it, all swept under the rubric of Palestine, or more aptly Israel, decolonizing. And it's Jews first. Christians aren't far behind. A Rutgers professor does nothing but teach how terrible whites are and has been quoted that whites need to be "wiped out." She still has her taxpayer funded job. Any criticism of her racist remarks was deemed racist by the teachers' union. Inversion.
There's a culture clash here that cannot be tolerated, if the West wants to survive in a semblance of itself. The forces that stir the pot and agitate and facilitate hatred aren't going to budge. They think they're on a roll and they appear to be.
I am beyond tired of witnessing jets full of human beings flown into skyscrapers full of human beings who jumped from the World Trade Center to the sidewalk, genocidal murder on October 7th, the massacre of people on a beach because they are Jewish, only to hear that any sane response to the atrocities is "Islamophobic." The manufactured concern after such grotesqueries is not how monstrous acts affect the victims, but for the perpetrators and a strain that very evidently cannot coexist with Western civilization. God forbid something needs to change.
Erica Kirk's appearance on CBS was riveting not only for the substance but the realization that for decades, maybe even generations, so much of the country has been shut in the attic, denied any platform or mention other than to be criticized. Erika has an obvious ability to hold an audience and she shouldn't leave the proselytizing to youngsters. She should personally engage students on campuses, like her husband did. With tons of security. The left hates her and went berserk about the program, the idea, as Biden would say,that someone else with another view could speak. Charlie is dead but gosh darn it there's another one with charisma.
How rare on the networks is actual discourse about God? Attention on the people whose lives have been destroyed by radical leftism and it's mounting assassinations? These things do exist on the right and we hear plenty about it but never in such a poignant way from victims of the left. When I think of CBS I think of a spidery Leslie Stahl, oozing fake incredulity, arguing with any so-called guest with whom she disagrees. It was awful and monotonous. I haven't watched that network since forever.
Leslie Stahl's interview with J.D. Vance during the election campaign says everything one needs to know about liberal media bias when she downplayed illegal Venezuelan migrant gang violence and said "but they've only taken over a couple apartments buildings" in Aurora. J.D. pounced on her "Did you hear what you just said". Classic example of progressive liberal "willful blindness" to real life events to further their politically correct agenda.
What's crazy about this to me is that Islamic law is counter to everything modern leftists supposedly (or maybe used to) stand for. The cognitive dissonance must be very strong with them.
It shows you the issues never were what they said they were, those were the means to rile up the factions. It's about getting power and taking property,and they'll get it any way they can. What they have in common with islamists is hatred of the West. Hard to believe that some people you've known for a very long time hate everything about America, including its people.
The reaction to Bondi will just create more problems:
"The antisemitism envoy, Jillian Segal, called on the Australian government to fully endorse her plan, which includes measures such as stripping funding from institutions that fail to combat Jewish hate, monitoring media organisations, and reviewing the country's hate speech laws." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-15/albanese-told-to-endorse-antisemitism-plan-after-bondi-shooting/106142578

The last good movie in theaters was TopGun Maverick!

Not the assailant. Only in the anti-Israel PRM.
The DA is still persecuting him.
The shooter NOT the assailant.

NOT!

Politics can’t come back from Trump?
Trump was elected by a majority of American voters twice
“Politics” tried to jail him, shoot him, impeach him, frame him, and bankrupt him..
I certainly wish that old “politics” is dead, but I doubt it.
F**k all the grifters, liars and jackasses who make up the old political cabal and the press that refuses to unmask and condemn them!

Affordability?
Just another Democrat talking point, buzz word like equity.
Affordability to some is unaffordable to others on the food chain
It’s telling which quotes Ollie chose for his blurb on Ayann Hirsi Ali’s article, avoiding the most significant point she makes, that jihadist Islam can only be countered if it’s understood to be an existential threat to the West and its Judeo -Christian values.
Amen
This revisionist retelling of Animal Farm shows that the left cannot admit that their ideas and policies lead to totalitarianism.
Proving Orwell right. Erasing history.

The interviewer was Martha Raddatz, not Leslie Stahl.
They're one and the same.
Well said. Here's a clear-eyed look at the clash of civilizations. Maybe clash of civilization and barbarism would be a better characterization...
Islamic Law is NOT compatible with Western Civilization
