🚨NEWS: The porn ban for England & Wales comes into force today
You can now face a prison sentence of up to 2 years if you possess or distribute pornography that depicts two people pretending to be related (including step-)
Meanwhile actual cousin f*cking is still legal because Labour don't want to upset Muslims
Keir Starmer was asked to ban cousin marriage and he refused
Andy Burnham has kept the same stance
The hypocrisy is on show for the world to see

Jeff Foxworthy and Muslims
Jeff Foxworthy writes....... Have you ever wondered why it's OK to make jokes about Catholics, Jews, Christians, the Pope, the Irish, the Italians, the Polish, the Hungarians, the Chinese, the French (including French Canadians), the elderly, bad golfers, men/women, blacks/whites, red necks, etc., but it's insensitive to make jokes about the Muslims?
Well, it's time to level the playing field and be politically incorrect, by including our friends, the Muslims, on this grandiose list. So Jeff Foxworthy did his part to include the Muslims on his list ...
1. If you grow and refine heroin for a living, but morally object to the use of liquor, you may be a Muslim.
2. If you own a $3,000 machine gun and a $5,000 rocket launcher, but can't afford shoes, you may be a Muslim.
3. If you have more wives than teeth, you may be a Muslim.
5. If you think vests come in two styles, bullet-proof and suicide, you may be a Muslim.
6. If you can't think of anyone that you haven't declared jihad against, you may be a Muslim.
7. If you consider television dangerous, but routinely carry explosives in your clothing, you may be a Muslim.
8. If you were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses, other than setting off roadside bombs, you may be a Muslim.
9. If you have nothing against women and think every man should own at least four, then you, too, may be a Muslim.
10. If you find this offensive and do not forward it, you are part of the problem here in America … but if you delete this, you are most likely a Muslim. Eishhhhhh

🇨🇦 IN CANADA, YOU CAN DRIVE THE SAME CAR FOR FIVE YEARS, HAVE ZERO ACCIDENTS, AND STILL WATCH YOUR INSURANCE BILL GO UP.
Think about how absurd that feels.
Your car is older.
Its resale value has fallen.
You haven’t made a claim.
You’ve maintained a clean driving record.
Yet your renewal arrives, and you’re paying more.
Why?
Because insurance premiums aren’t based solely on what YOUR car is worth or how YOU drive.
Insurers also price in:
🚗 Rising vehicle repair costs.
🔧 Expensive sensors, cameras and replacement parts.
🚨 Vehicle theft and claims across your area.
⚖️ Injury claims and legal expenses.
🌪️ Weather-related damage.
💰 The overall cost of settling claims.
And here’s the financial trap.
You need a car to get to work.
You need insurance to legally drive it.
You pay fuel taxes, sales taxes, registration costs, maintenance and parking.
Then your insurance premium rises even though you’ve done absolutely nothing differently.
CANADIANS ARE PAYING MORE JUST TO KEEP USING THINGS THEY ALREADY OWN.
The same problem exists with home insurance, property taxes, condo fees and utilities.
These aren’t luxury purchases.
They’re recurring costs of ordinary life.
And unlike a restaurant meal or a vacation, many are difficult to avoid.
That’s why Canada’s affordability problem is bigger than grocery inflation.
THE REAL SQUEEZE ISN’T ALWAYS BUYING SOMETHING NEW.
IT’S THE RISING COST OF KEEPING WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE.

DIVORCE AGREEMENT
THIS IS INCREDIBLY WELL-PUT, AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT'S WRITTEN BY A STUDENT!!! WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM.
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists, and Obama supporters, et al:
We have stuck together since the late 1950s for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.
Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.
Here is our separation agreement:
Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by land mass, each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets, since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.
—We don't like redistributive taxes, so you can keep them.
--You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.
--Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA, and the military.
--We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and the coal mines, and you can go with wind, solar, and bio-diesel.
--You can keep Oprah, Whoopi, Bill Maher, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all five of them.
--We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street.
--You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies, and illegal aliens.
--We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEOs, and rednecks.
--We'll keep Bill O’Reilly and Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood.
--You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.
--You can have the peaceniks and war protesters.
--When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.
--We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.
--You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness, and Shirley McLaine. You can also have the UN., but we will no longer be paying the bill.
--We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volt and Leaf you can find.
--You can give everyone health care if you can find any practicing doctors.
--We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem."
--I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine," "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing," "Kum Baya," or "We Are the World."
--We'll practice trickle-down economics and you can continue to give trickle-up poverty your best shot.
--Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name, and our flag.
Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you might think about which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.
Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law Student and an American
P.S. Also, please take George Clooney, Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin Short, Charlie Sheen, Barbra Streisand, and (Hanoi) Jane Fonda with you.

I’m thinking Canada is already Third World.
Todd Kaime writes:
"Here's why Western civilization must be protected, and why, if Islamo-leftism keeps spreading like a cancer, humanity will turn into one giant Third World.
Let's be precise, because precision is what this debate lacks. This isn't about Muslims. Millions of Muslims live freely in the West, build companies, raise families, and came here precisely for what the West offers. It's about an alliance: political Islamism on one side, a radical left on the other. Two movements that agree on almost nothing except one thing: the Western model has to go.
Political Islamism wants to replace secular law with religious law. The radical left wants to replace markets and property with an all-powerful redistributive state.
One attacks individual freedom in the name of God, the other in the name of equality. Different scripts, same target: the free individual who thinks, builds, and owns what he creates.
Why does that matter so much? Because almost everything that pulled humanity out of misery came out of that model. The scientific method.
Medicine that doubled life expectancy. Electricity, the airplane, the computer, the internet, AI. The rule of law, free speech, equality before the law, women's rights. Capitalism, which took over a billion people out of extreme poverty in a few decades. None of this happened under theocracy. None of it happened under collectivism.
And none of it is about race or geography. It's a value system. Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Israel, the Gulf states that bet on openness: every country that adopted some version of it took off. Every country that rejected it stagnated.
Now look at the track record of the alternative. Theocracies freeze science, crush women, and drive their best minds abroad. Collectivist regimes destroy incentives, then production, then freedom itself. Combine the two and you get the worst of both: a society that can neither create wealth nor tolerate dissent.
If that alliance keeps growing inside the West, here's what happens. Universities stop producing knowledge and start producing ideology. Entrepreneurs leave or stop trying. The state grows to manage the decline, taxes everything that still moves, and eventually expropriates even those who thought they were safe. Innovation dies quietly. And the West, which was the engine of the whole world, becomes just another place managing scarcity.
That's the part people miss. This isn't a Western problem. The whole planet runs on what the West invents: the vaccines, the chips, the software, the energy tech, the open markets. If the engine stops, India doesn't get its next breakthrough, Africa doesn't get its next leap, Asia loses its biggest customer. Humanity doesn't become more equal. It becomes equally poor.
So every civilization that is even remotely sane should understand this. Not out of love for the West, but out of self-interest. Freedom of thought, rule of law, property, open markets: these are not Western privileges, they're humanity's operating system.
And the project to tear them down, wherever it shows up, has to be stopped. Not with violence, not by targeting a people, but with ideas, with law, with courage, and by refusing to apologize for what works.
Because it's the only way we keep moving forward."

This is Wolf Kirschenbaum, Auschwitz prisoner number 21897, a Jewish farmer who was deported to the camp from occupied Poland on 22 October 1941.
Wolf was born on 20 November 1887, making him 53 years old when this registration photograph was taken. On his striped uniform you can still see the identification markings imposed on Jewish prisoners, with overlapping triangles forming a Star of David and his camp number displayed beneath them.
At Auschwitz, Jewish prisoners who were registered were usually classified administratively as political prisoners and marked with a red triangle combined with yellow to distinguish them as Jews.
His photograph formed part of the enormous registration system operated by the camp’s Political Department. Prisoners were normally photographed from three angles and their number, nationality and prisoner category recorded. The photography laboratory was located in Block 26 at Auschwitz I and was staffed largely by prisoners working under SS supervision.
Wolf arrived before tattooing became standard at Auschwitz, meaning the number sewn onto his clothing and recorded in camp documents was particularly important for identifying him. Routine tattooing of incoming prisoners only began later, becoming widespread from 1942 and 1943.
But the most striking information is underneath his photograph. Wolf Kirschenbaum arrived at Auschwitz on 22 October 1941. He died on 28 October 1941.
He had survived just six days in the camp, and was only three weeks away from his 54th birthday. The surviving display records his occupation simply as a farmer and does not give a cause of death.
Near the end of the war, the SS ordered the Auschwitz photographic archive destroyed. Prisoner photographers Wilhelm Brasse and Bronisław Jureczek deliberately frustrated the attempt, helping preserve thousands of photographs that otherwise would have disappeared.
Today the Auschwitz Museum holds 38,916 surviving prisoner photographs, including 31,969 of men and 6,947 of women.
That survival means prisoner 21897 is more than an entry in a camp register. More than 80 years later, we can still put a face to Wolf Kirschenbaum, a 53 year old farmer whose entire imprisonment at Auschwitz lasted only six days.
