Seven Up!

~Back in 2017, I was the guest-host for Rush Limbaugh and Tucker Carlson. But Rush died and Tucker got fired, and, with one or two exceptions, the conversation these days on talk-radio and cable-news seems to be nowhere near where it needs to be to effect meaningful change. Seven years ago, the two major anglophone electorates had just voted for such change - Trump and Brexit - and the permanent state on either side of the Atlantic immediately set about subverting the people's will, and teaching the ingrate masses a hard lesson in what happens when you start looking beyond the uniparty consensus on anything that matters.

Nevertheless, meaningful change is happening, and very fast. Thursday saw the UK's local elections. Here's the winner in Burnley, Lancashire:

Aurangzeb Ali celebrates being voted in as a councilman in Burnley in today's local elections.

He will surely work hard on representing all the people living in Burnley, not just his own voters

Eternal undying England, eh? How about one more? Here is the winning candidate for the Green Party, which I had hitherto thought was something to do with Michael E Mann and global warming, giving his victory speech in Gipton and Harehills:

We will not be silenced. We will raise the voice of Gaza. We will raise the voice of Palestine. Allahu Akbar!

Allahu Akbar: It's not just for diving under the table to anymore.

Love Steyn. I’d prefer him over Bongino in Rush’s spot.

[Uncle Miltie]

Bongino spends so much time talking about how he’s not talking about himself, it’s a wonder any topic is actually covered.

" If you're not into it, the notion of a bepenised woman can seem a bit icky, so, if ever I brought up the topic on Rush, I'd get pushback from listeners who felt this was another of the vast Alpine range of hills for "conservatives" not to die on.

----------------------------------------

I think this is a critical point. And the concept that "weak CD RINOs" are the problem in the Right's surrender to this garbage is not true.

[Reverend Wright]

that's weak DC RINOS...

Every once in awhile I listen to a Rush podcast.

Much of what he said back then still applies today.

Miss him much.

[shotgun]

Did he graduate from the Sean Hannity school of broadcasting?

CD was working for me as I read CrummyDem. RINO’s.

[Uncle Miltie]

I read “Cross Dressing RINOs”.

[LastDayz]

Ha... Ha... even better. Oh wait....
