Pious Palestine Action activists are nothing like the suffragettes
Now I know why Palestine Action and its cheerleaders always look so smugly satisfied with themselves – they think they're the new Suffragettes. Yes, these bourgeois brats in their red boiler suits and keffiyehs fancy themselves as a 21st-century incarnation of the women who rose up for the right to vote. They really do think their violent, childish rage against the Jewish State puts them on a par with those valiant ladies who fought for the franchise for their sex. They are drunk on self-delusion. They have a serious case of bloated ego. Someone needs to tell them – where those women were the great expanders of democracy, you are its enemies. All across the radical Left, they're making this criminally ahistorical comparison. When Home Secretary Yvette Cooper ordered the proscription of Palestine Action, loopy Corbyn-bot Zarah Sultana was fuming. How hypocritical, she said, for the likes of Cooper to celebrate the 'Suffragette legacy of civil disobedience' while damning this 'non-violent [sic] direction action group' as 'terrorists'. Owen Jones, with even more teenage spleen than usual, assured his readers that just as history has decreed that the Suffragettes were the good guys of the early 20th century, so it will smile equally generously on the Palestine preeners of today. 'History will praise those who did what they could to fight one of the great crimes of our age', he wrote. Even quite sensible voices now madly speak of Palestine Action in the same breath as the Suffragettes. Labour bigwig Lord Hain says Palestine Action's stunts are 'positively moderate' in comparison with the direct action carried out by Suffagettes. And yet PA is criminalised while those radical ladies enjoy 'iconic status'. Everyone needs to stop with this nonsense. It is a grotesque insult to the Pankhursts and all the other women who helped to make Britain a freer, fairer nation to liken them with the irritants and narcissists of Palestine Action. The difference between these two movements is so glaring it shouldn't even need stating. The Suffragettes took direct action because they were brutally locked out of the democratic realm. In contrast, the plummy grads of Palestine Action and their noisy cheerleaders in the leafy suburbs enjoy every democratic right. The right to vote, to speak, to march. And yet still they choose, to the vexation of decent Brits, to carry out their dumb stunts. The Suffragettes' direct action was an agonised cry for more democracy. Palestine Action's temper tantrums are a cry of *contempt* for democracy. The Suffragettes wanted in on the democratic process. Palestine Action is so consumed by a weary, haughty disdain for the democratic process – and for us plebs who are its subjects – that they prefer wrecking RAF planes or splashing red paint on 'evil' businesses to the far harder task of free, civil engagement. Their activism is profoundly anti-democratic. It's positively imperious. It is designed precisely to circumvent the democratic realm because these snobs in keffiyehs look upon the electorate as a thicko lost cause. The Israelophobic mania of the middle-class left is not a demand for democracy – it's a demand for admiration. Witness the pro-Palestine Action gathering in Parliament Square yesterday. What an orgy of sanctimony that was. It was essentially the upper middle classes forswearing Saturday brunch to descend on London and show us oiks what perfect moral beings they are. Rarely have we seen such a brilliant snapshot of the depthless levels of middle-class entitlement that fuel the cult of Palestinianism. It was a look-at-me stunt by the bored virtue-seekers of the professional managerial classes. The aim was less to 'raise awareness' of Gaza than to raise awareness of their own ethical brilliance. The Suffragettes took direct action because they wanted a real say in the nation's law-making. Palestine Action and its fawners take action because they want the world to know how special and caring they are. Let's boil it down. The Suffragettes hit the streets to make their own country a better place. Palestine Action and the rest of the radical left obsess like crazy over a tiny country 3,000 miles which they are convinced is the embodiment of evil.

Free America Protests
The Left has planned yet another mass protest for the 4th of July. This one is called 'Free America.' I'm Tomi Lahren, more next. The radical Leftists have held so many protests over the last 6 months it's hard to keep them all straight. They all have two things in common though, they are anti-American and anti-Trump. Which brings us to this latest 'Free America' mass protest taking place on none other than America's Independence Day. Free America from what? From tax breaks? From secure borders? International peace talks? Cheaper gas? Hard to tell what they are so angry about this time. There will apparently be nearly 200 protest events taking place around the country on the 4th of July, a noticeably smaller number than their other anti-trump shindig titled 'No Kings.' The results will be the same, though, nothing. Turns out gathering together on the streets to demonstrate your deep hatred for our president doesn't actually do much to change or improve anything for anyone. It's no shock these disgruntled folks are choosing Independence Day for such an activity. They have little regard for our nation's founding and likely, nothing better to do! SAD!

Trump celebrates Supreme Court limits on 'colossal abuse of power' by federal judges
President Donald Trump celebrated after the Supreme Court moved to block lower courts from issuing universal injunctions, something that had impacted his executive orders. The president held a news conference just over an hour after the ruling was issued and said the Supreme Court had stopped a "colossal abuse of power." "I was elected on a historic mandate, but in recent months, we've seen a handful of radical left judges effectively try to overrule the rightful powers of the president to stop the American people from getting the policies that they voted for in record numbers," Trump said on Friday. This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

Trump fires off Memorial Day message targeting 'SCUM' who sought to 'DESTROY' the US
President Donald Trump issued one of his signature spicy holiday greetings on Memorial Day. The president, who posted the all-caps tirade on Monday morning, called out the "SCUM" who he said had attempted to destroy the nation. "HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL LEFT MINDS, WHO ALLOWED 21,000,000 MILLION PEOPLE TO ILLEGALLY ENTER OUR COUNTRY, MANY OF THEM BEING CRIMINALS AND THE MENTALLY INSANE, THROUGH AN OPEN BORDER THAT ONLY AN INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT WOULD APPROVE, AND THROUGH JUDGES WHO ARE ON A MISSION TO KEEP MURDERERS, DRUG DEALERS, RAPISTS, GANG MEMBERS, AND RELEASED PRISONERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, IN OUR COUNTRY SO THEY CAN ROB, MURDER, AND RAPE AGAIN — ALL PROTECTED BY THESE USA HATING JUDGES WHO SUFFER FROM AN IDEOLOGY THAT IS SICK, AND VERY DANGEROUS FOR OUR COUNTRY," he declared in the first portion of the post. Trump, who took office a little more than four months ago, asserted that significant progress has been made. He also appeared to refer to some judges as "MONSTERS." "HOPEFULLY THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, AND OTHER GOOD AND COMPASSIONATE JUDGES THROUGHOUT THE LAND, WILL SAVE US FROM THE DECISIONS OF THE MONSTERS WHO WANT OUR COUNTRY TO GO TO HELL. BUT FEAR NOT, WE HAVE MADE GREAT PROGRESS OVER THE LAST 4 MONTHS, AND AMERICA WILL SOON BE SAFE AND GREAT AGAIN! AGAIN, HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!" he declared. The president has been frustrated as aspects of his agenda have been hampered amid legal wranglings. A little less than an hour before firing off the lengthy Memorial Day greeting on Monday morning, the president issued another post that simply read, "HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!"

I just finished listening to that radical-left lunatic on MPB, the Gestalt Gardener. After that, it was Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. Then on to Auto Correct. Thats some really radical-left propaganda. Imagine that some is actually telling you what's best for your car. Then after work, on TV It was on to Ken Burns' The Vietnam War. Follow that with Finding Your Roots. Now that's some really radical-left propaganda. These right-wingers want to control everything we can read, see or hear. Leave my NPR and PBS alone. I must confess that I know very little about how Bitcoins work. What I've summarized is that its biggest advantage is that it's mostly untraceable and not regulated. Anybody can hide money, even criminals, by laundering dirty money. Why would a former FBI Director threaten a sitting president with sea shells in the sand spelling out 8647? Ladies and gentlemen, we have a deep state and it's alive and well. We've got a president who either can't make out an obviously doctored photo or doesn't care and a former FBI director calling for his elimination. Good grief. Maybe this whole democracy thing really is overrated. Can someone explain to me how sections of our MS Coast beach can be shut down due to bacteria, yet literally feet away, it remains open? Due to tide changes, currents, and wind, it would appear that once bacteria is discovered, the entire 26 miles would be off limits. I can't keep up with who our enemies are. It used to be based on democracy and strategic allies. I'm not sure anymore. It seems like it's what's in it for the Trumps now. President Trump is back from his Middle East trip, and says he has secured $1 trillion in deals. I wonder how much his family is making off it? Send your Sound Offs to soundoff@
