Jeremy Clarkson has commented on the Muslim grooming gangs: “It’s not racist to investigate a rapist! We need to remove the shackles of political correctness from the police.”
Bretigne Shaffer retweeted
Most parents don't know this until it happens to them.
You can say no to anything in a hospital. Any test, any drug, any procedure- for you or your baby.
"Hospital policy" is not law. Ask: "What happens if I decline?"
Protect parental rights.

Two issues on which AI is most likely to pettifog and selectively curate information toward a conclusion: voter fraud and vaccine safety. It renders the service nearly useless.
Bretigne Shaffer retweeted
Their arguments are so weak this is the only way the
left can win the debate
Clarkson is absolutely correct is saying this
IT'S NOT RACIST TO INVESTIGATE A RAPIST !!
🚨BREAKING: Jeremy Clarkson is facing fresh calls from the left to be CANCELED after he weighed in on the Muslim grooming gangs scandal and said it is not racist to investigate a rapist.
His exact words: “It’s not racist to investigate a rapist! We need to remove the shackles of political correctness from the police.”
In his column, Clarkson argued that police must be freed from the fear of being labeled racist if they pursue these cases. He wrote that a young girl could report being raped by a gang of Pakistani men only to be dismissed because officers know they risk cancellation for reporting it.
Clarkson said another public inquiry is unnecessary because the problem is already clear, and the real obstacle has been the refusal to confront the ethnicity of the perpetrators without being accused of bigotry. The comments have drawn sharp criticism online from activists who claim he is stoking racism, with some calling for advertisers and platforms to drop him.
This is the same pattern that has followed Clarkson for years whenever he says something "politically incorrect".

Thrilling news! Now that all files are in, we have the complete Diaries of Anthony Fauci, in three volumes, fully indexed, 500 pages each, beautifully typeset. These are the unedited files straight from his personal computer, the strangest autobiography ever published. amazon.com/dp/B0HPCRYH24?bin…

That MAHA was a political hijacking of the grassroots health freedom movement is increasingly undeniable. Are MAHA voters finally awakening? #HealthFreedom jeremyrhammond.com/2026/09/3…

They always seek to divide us because united we are an unstoppable force and the ‘Epstein Class’ know it.

We thought about putting Fauci as author but I personally thought that was weird because he was not in a position to provide edits, so it struck me that this would be deceptive or even unethical.
The $25 for a 500 page book is extremely low, lower than I've ever seen something like this
Proceeds if any will not go to Fauci because taxpayers already paid him countless millions to write these.

Amy Hamm, a nurse and single mother, was dragged through a modern-day witch trial for saying that men are not women.
Her profession was a nurse, yet she was called "unprofessional" by the BC College of Nurses and Midwives for understanding biology.
She lost her career overnight and has been ordered to pay $94,000 in costs.
She will be appealing the decision in a little over a week.
I stand with Amy Hamm. ✊🏻

November 10, 12 & 13: The dates of my appeal trial at the BC Supreme Court.
I am appealing a ruling that found me guilty of "unprofessional conduct" for advocating for the rights of women and children in my off-duty time.
My regulator, the BC College of Nurses, investigated me at the behest of a cancellation mob after receiving complaints from members of the public I've never met. I have never had a patient complaint. I was dragged through years of disciplinary hearings, lasting longer than a murder trial. (My fight was made possible by @JCCFCanada and @LDBildy.)
After my guilty verdict, I was told I would face a 1 month suspension and had to pay $94,000 to the BCCNM. My employer of 13 years, Vancouver Coastal Health, fired me with no severance, and no way to even collect EI. I was a single mom with 2 young boys. The suspension and $94k was put on hold for the appeal. My name is blacklisted and I essentially was pushed out of the profession entirely.
I first noticed the rise of gender ideology a decade ago, and I was fascinated and repulsed that women were being told to shut up about their experiences to make way for people who identify as us. Then I came to understand that paediatric "gender affirming care" is a terrible medical scandal, probably worse than the lobotomy. I began to write about the topic and, with another BC woman, began to organize events to discuss gender ideology. We faced vicious threats, protests, and attempts to shut us down. Later, of course, I was involved in a billboard project that drew a lot of ire from trans activists.
Never could I have imagined that life would go in this direction: being smeared as a bigot across the country; losing my career and long-term financial stability; and spending 6+ years in a protracted legal battle.
I'm still fighting because I care about the truth, free speech (for all of us, but especially for regulated professionals, who don't deserve to be policed in their private lives and forced to go along with state orthodoxy), and women's rights. Please follow along for updates.

It's wild watching socialists and communists bend over backwards to excuse government-imposed famines that killed millions, then turn around and act as though expecting someone to pay for their own food is an intolerable injustice.
Millions starving under state control? Historical complexities, unfortunate circumstances, good intentions.
Having to earn the money to buy groceries? An unforgivable violation of human dignity.
Apparently, starvation is excusable when the government causes it, but paying for food is oppression when capitalism allows you to buy it.

If the science doesn’t persuade you about vaccines, maybe the reaction to this class-action lawsuit we filed against a pharmaceutical company will.

I have never denied that people who call themselves trans exist and in the UK, they rightly have exactly the same rights as every other citizen. What you want is for women to lose their sex-based rights to accommodate men who say they're women. That's the conflict.

Woman fired for refusing COVID ‘vaccine’ wins record $12 million from employer.
Lisa Domski, who worked at the insurance company Blue Cross Blue as an IT specialist for over three decades, was fired from her position for refusing to take the jab, which has since been proven to have been neither safe nor effective.
After suing the company for religious discrimination against her Catholic faith, Domski was awarded significant damages by a federal jury in Detroit.
The ruling included $10 million in punitive damages against Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, as well as $1.7 million in lost wages and $1 million in noneconomic damages.

"You are skinny"
"I'm fatter than ever!"
"Just remember three years ago. You were getting fatter at a rate of 5 percent per month."
"What is my rate now?"
"You are down to only 2 percent per month"
"I'm not sure you understand that I keep getting fatter."
"You are practically skinny now!"

George Washington owned slaves in the 18th century, when slavery was legal in America. The United States abolished slavery in 1865.
Mao ruled China in the 20th century, and his regime imposed forced labor on millions through its labor camp system.
China still faces documented allegations of state-imposed forced labor today.
And since you want to praise communism, why stop at China? Let's discuss North Korea, where hereditary dictatorship, political prison camps, and forced labor persist under a ruling communist party.
Putting Mao on currency doesn't erase the people his regime enslaved.

Few people appreciate how immensely important the Scottish enlightenment was. And it is not just John Locke and David Hume.
The Scottish common-sense realists, the primary proponent of which was Thomas Reid (1710-1796), held that scepticism leads to absurd conclusions because it denies what is intuitively obvious to all humans: that our senses provide direct and reliable knowledge of the world as it is. Hence: common sense realism. This belief in the self-evident also goes to moral ideas, offering a more philosophically consistent basis for natural rights than could be provided by Locke.
Several of the Founding Fathers of the Unites States of America, including John Adams and Thomas Jefferson (the second and third Presidents), were highly influenced by Reid and the Scottish common-sense realists. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness", wrote Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence, mirroring the common-sense realists' belief in self-evident moral principles.
Has any country ever turned its back on its finest achievements more than Scotland? Birthplace of David Hume and Adam Smith, and home of a famously successful free banking experiment, it is now a high tax, big government backwater dependent on handouts from Westminster.
Scotland has an elite international legacy in free-market philosophy. The Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century fundamentally shaped global classical liberalism. Adam Smith revolutionized human thought with The Wealth of Nations, introducing the "invisible hand" concept to explain how self-interested individuals generate widespread public wealth through free trade. David Hume pioneered crucial defenses of private property and free commerce. This powerful intellectual tradition directly laid the bedrock for modern capitalism, championing individual liberty, minimal state intervention, and market competition centuries before they became global economic standards.
During the free banking era (1716–1845), Scotland operated a highly successful, completely unregulated banking system without a central bank. Competing private banks issued their own banknotes, strictly disciplined by a market-driven clearinghouse. This system delivered remarkable financial stability, economic growth, and near-zero inflation for over a century.
Despite this proud legacy, Scotland’s electorate now lean firmly left. At the 2021 parliamentary election, the leftwing Scottish national party took almost half the seats, with fellow left-of-center Labour and Greens adding another third. And the results are clear. While the UK suffers under one of the most progressive tax systems in the OECD, Scotland has exacerbated that model, cutting taxes for low incomes and raising them further in higher brackets. Total government spending amounts to 53% of GDP, resulting in a 10% deficit plugged by Westminster. Total public sector spending sits at £22,281 per person, 14% above the UK average. The economy suffers from a high inactivity rate, heavily driven by people on long-term sickness and disability benefits.
Scotland’s shift towards collectivism can be traced to the mid 20th century, attributable to industrial decline and a political reaction against Margaret Thatcher. As late as in 1955, the Scottish Unionist Party won an outright majority on an individualistic Liberal message.
Those days are now long gone. Today, Scotland is firmly in the grip of leftwing politics. The light of classic liberalism no longer shines over the Highlands. Hume and Smith must be turning in their graves.
