Nonsense on stilts from someone who was once a respected journalist. archive.md/k5IJ6

John Simpson

@JohnSimpsonNews

Argentina v England is important way beyond football. If Argentina wins tomorrow night, it'll put real fire behind the demand for the Falklands. If England wins, that should put the lid on it — for now.

Unsurprising given whose policy this is.

Please, America, give up this ridiculous "manly man" contest in your politics. It will end either in chainsaw competitions (dangerous) or d*ck measuring (stupid).

The Atlantic: Brian Poindexter had just finished wolfing down a Reuben sandwich in a deli outside Cleveland when he delivered a message that, coming from a Democratic House candidate in the year 2026, sounded almost provocative. “There’s nothing wrong with being masculine,” Poindexter told me. It’s okay, he said, to be “a manly man.”

Poindexter’s own manliness credentials are fully in order. The 46-year-old started working in a machine shop as a teenager and spent years hauling furniture across the country before finding stability as a union ironworker. He drives a Ram Big Horn pickup truck and built, with his buddy turned campaign manager, a shed in his backyard. Now Poindexter is running for Congress, trying to flip a Republican-held seat in Ohio with a pitch aimed at a constituency that has abandoned the Democratic Party over the past two decades: men.

Natalie Harp is her name. Even her brother thinks her relationship with Trump is unhealthy.

Sources told The Journal that Harp compiles printed drafts of potential posts, much of it drawn from MAGA aligned accounts on X and Truth Social. She reportedly takes the printouts to Trump for approval, then logs into his Truth Social account and publishes the posts he signs off on.

Snigdha@snig· Jul 10

In fairness, in 2025, Ann Widdecombe argued "Kemi Badenoch needs to grow up and tell us then if it is Conservative policy to put trans prisoners in danger". This needs to be included out of fairness.

However, there is a very small number of trans people who have gone the whole hog. They have undergone extensive surgery to remove their male genitalia and to create a seemingly female body.

They have developed breasts and have taken drugs to suppress male hormones and promote female ones. They look and sound exactly like the women they believe they have become, and they may have lived that way for years.

We have a duty to ensure their safety too, and beyond all

peradventure, they would not be safe in a male prison but liable to serious sexual assault, including rape.

They would not however pose any threat to women and it is unlikely that women would in turn feel threatened. This is not a man in a dress: it is somebody whose body itself has been extensively altered.

There are not enough of such prisoners to justify a special unit and so the choice is between housing such a person in a male prison in solitary confinement for that person's own protection, which is clearly unacceptable for any length of time, or housing her in a prison where she will look and feel like the other inmates.

In October 2019 Anne Widdecombe demonstrated that she is a Nazi apologist, seeking to argue against the prosecution of a former camp guard because he was only 17 at the time. If that weren't bad enough, contrast her views on Shamima Begum, groomed by ISIS at 15.

Ann Widdecombe's comments on the prosecution of now 93 y/o Bruno Dey, who was a 17y/o guard at Stuthof camp in Gdansk show she is a Nazi apologist.

Bruno resisting would have done "absolutely nothing in terms of alleviating human suffering", and he "would have been shot".

"If he had been in any way, even at the age of 17, actively involved in the deaths at the death camps, then I think that's a different issue." "But he wasn't."

Nick Ferrari points out he watched over labour crews and was aware of "corpses being taken from the crematoria to be burned" Widdecombe responds that trying him is "just going one stage too far".

"What was he supposed to do?" "I think that's the question we've got to ask ourselves if he had simply defied the order he would have been shot. And not a single Jew would have been saved."

"But I'm asking you what he could have done that would have been effective," said Widdecombe.

"I think we're now starting to lack proportionality on this."

Compare to Ann Widdecombe's comments on Shamima Begum:

"She may have been 15 when she went out there, she has matured, she has been a mother three times over, she has matured in a war zone, and yet she'll still spout Jihadi rubbish."

"It's high time we were harsh on Jihadism".

Joyce Carol Oates' post doesn't read any better when read in context of the whole conversation.

So it begins to look, if we examine history, as if our first American president George Washington was a unique individual; not only capable of leadership but personally modest, shrinking from ostentation, pomp; he declined being King, insisting upon "president" which would not be

if "communists" are persons living in "communes" there are probably a few in the US likely living in convents or monasteries; otherwise, none.

person in 2026 thinking that, in the 1770's, most rich landowners were not slaveholders & thus very bad folks by 2026 standards; seeming to think that, since Washington was a man of his time, & everyone then was bad, there should have been no first US President at all.

Imo, whether an aristocrat in any culture is a slaveowner depends largely on the character or competence of the aristocrat - or the interference or incentives of other aristocrats (See St. Clare’s description of the slave system in Uncle Tom’s Cabin).

owning slaves was not atypical at the time though it seems to us barbaric.

in some quarters, persons who eat animals are considered barbaric; & possibly in the future, if there is a future, animal-eaters of 2026 will be considered barbaric.

but we don't consider ourselves barbaric, do we?

in some countries, capitol punishment has long been banned; but not the US.

but residents of states that execute human beings don't think of themselves as barbaric, do they?

much in US life right now is unjust, cruel, oppressive of the working poor who might think of themselves as "wage slaves"--yet their employers don't consider themselves barbaric, just businessmen.

Some Gilead style stuff from Goodwin. "Blessed be the Fruit." "May the Lord open."

“Personally, I would not go as far as suggesting that we should have a higher tax for women who do not have children,” Matt Goodwin has said.

“This was merely one of several ideas that were put forward by a leading demographer and which I merely said we should debate.

“But what I do think we should introduce is sweeping tax allowances and other benefits for women who do choose to have children – especially British women and families who choose to have more than two children.”

He added: “I’d like to go even further. Why not prioritise British families that have more than two children when it comes to housing and giving them far more favourable mortgage rates, for example?”
