Labour’s Chaos Comes From Left-Wing Logic

Original Article

Posted By: 4250Luis, 1/16/2026 2:52:12 PM

The Government’s illogical energy policies… Jess Phillips’s illogical approach to safeguarding…the illogical selling off buying off of the Chagos Islands… It seems to any half-thinking person that the Government is behaving in a way that is completely illogical if it is concerned about its own or the country’s success. However, the unrolling of all of the above policies are not the result of illogical, messy or on-the-hoof thinking. Quite the opposite: the actions of this Labour Government are the result of clear, exact and rigid logic.

There is no such thing as "Left-Wing Logic". If they were capable of logic, they wouldn't be Leftists.

Trump Is the Ideas Guy — and That’s
Why He Wins

He is the one tossing concepts on the whiteboard, storyboarding strong possibilities, and forcing the political system to grapple with problems it has ignored for decades. He understands something most career politicians never grasp: not every idea survives first contact with reality. But no progress happens without someone willing to propose ideas in the first place. That is why the latest round of criticism of Trump’s proposal to cap credit card interest rates misses the point entirely. Much of the conservative movement has bristled at the idea, and the concerns are serious.

It was probably no surprise that Rep. Ilhan Omar, arguably the most corrupt of Minneapolis’ Somali community, announced the Congressional Progressive Caucus has “adopted an official position” to defund Immigration & Customs Enforcement. “Our caucus members will oppose all funding for immigration enforcement in any immigration enforcement bills until meaningful reforms are enacted to end militarized policing practices,” said the woman accused of marrying her brother to evade U.S. immigration laws. Omar’s message was praised by radical groups everywhere, many tied to the left’s “defund the police” movement amid 2020’s Black Lives Matter riots.

In this episode of "Try to Control Your Shock and Amazement"... As we've known for years, America's powerful teachers' unions have demonstrated that they're far more interested in promoting and shilling for left-wing causes than providing quality education to America's kids. In a glaring recent example, as RedState's Becky Noble reported in mid-December, the National Education Association (NEA) — the nation's largest teachers' union — hosted a typical teachers' union conference. The topic? "Advancing LGBTQ+ Justice." Shocked? Me neither. So, yeah, raise your hand if you think the conference spent even a modicum of time focused on improving the quality of education in America — vs. ranting about insane left-wing idiocy.

A leading proponent of face masks as a means of countering the spread of respiratory infections appears to have changed her mind. Professor Trish Greenhalgh, University of Oxford – described as the “high priestess” of the face mask movement, who even appeared on her X feed wearing two face masks during the COVID-19 years – has endorsed a letter to the WHO in which it is claimed, as reported in the Guardian, “There is ‘no rational justification remaining for prioritising or using’ the surgical masks that are ubiquitous in hospitals and clinics globally, given their ‘inadequate protection against airborne pathogens’.”

“There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen.” That’s a quote often attributed (perhaps incorrectly) to Vladimir Lenin — but whoever said it first, it’s certainly true of the last week or so. Just look at the headlines. In Iran, the mullahs who have ruled since 1979 are collapsing in the face of widespread popular revolt. For nearly all of the 47 years since Jimmy Carter allowed Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to take power in the fallacious belief that it would somehow advance the cause of human rights, Iran has been a major rival to the United States in the region and around the world.

President Trump on Tuesday threatened to take “very strong action” against the Iranian regime if anti-government protesters are executed. “I haven’t heard about the hanging. If they hang ’em, you’re gonna see some things that – I don’t know what you’re – where you come from and what your thought process is, but you’ll perhaps be very happy,” Trump told “CBS Evening News” anchor Tony Dokoupil during an interview in Detroit. When Dokoupil asked the president to clarify what he meant, Trump responded: “If they do such a thing, we will take very strong action.” More than 2,000 Iranians have been killed amid the regime’s brutal crackdown on protesters,

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is forgoing a promised court-martialing and taking a behind-closed-doors track to attempt to punish Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.). The administrative move — which seeks to reduce Kelly’s retirement rank and military pension — is the latest in the bitter back-and-forth between the Trump administration and the retired Navy captain after he joined five other Democratic lawmakers in a November video reminding service members that they were obligated to refuse illegal orders.While Hegseth is taking Kelly into uncharted legal waters, using an action typically meant to scrutinize service members’ active-duty conduct,

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer dropped a bombshell this week, suggesting that far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar sits “at the top of the suspect list” in the sprawling Minnesota fraud scandals involving taxpayer-funded daycare and healthcare programs. The comments came during a pointed exchange with journalist Alison Steinberg, who raised serious concerns about whether members of Congress themselves may have benefited from money funneled through political action committees tied to fraudulent daycare and healthcare schemes.

Disgraced former British Ambassador to the US, Lord Mandelson, has claimed to have been ‘kept in the dark’ about Jeffrey Epstein’s sex crimes ‘because he was gay’. The Telegraph reported: “The peer was sacked as ambassador to the United States last year after it emerged [that] he had urged the financier to fight for early release from prison. Lord Mandelson claimed that, because of his sexuality, he was ‘kept separate from what [Epstein] was doing in the sexual side of his life’.”

don’t mean to sound like a conspiracy nut, but we’re being manipulated. By “we,” I mean all of us—you, me, anybody who is exposed to any media at all, but especially social media. We’re not being lied to, exactly, but we’re being force-fed a version of the truth that is intended to control our emotions, influence our reactions, and direct our behavior. The powers that be—and this is very much a part of the rupture between the ruling class and the country class—want to encourage specific social and political responses from us and are doing everything they can to make them happen.

Video footage captured an activist using a megaphone to shout: “Standing with the resistance, we affirm that Palestinians have the right to return to their homeland that was stolen from them during the 1948 Nakba [when the state of Israel declared its independence]. “We believe in the right to resist by any and all means necessary, for the full liberation and from the river to the sea!” A chant then broke out of “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”. Historian Simon Sebag Montefiore condemned the protest. He wrote on X: “Shocked to see this disgraceful scene outside a Jewish restaurant in Notting Hill.

Minnesota residents of Somali descent and Hispanic heritage are suing President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to effectively shut down federal immigration enforcement across the state. On Thursday, the left-wing American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), representing Somali immigrant Mubashir Khalif Hussen, Mahamed Eydarus, who is American and of Somali descent, and Javier Doe, a Hispanic American, filed suit against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and ICE Director Todd Lyons, among other agency officials. The lawsuit is asking a federal court to issue a statewide injunction to stop what it calls “unlawful policies and practices” being carried out by ICE agents, including allegations of racial profiling.

On Thursday afternoon, I wrote about how María Corina Machado visited the White House and had lunch with Donald Trump. While I was writing that article, some rumors were circulating about a big gesture she made, but I couldn't confirm them at the time. Now I can. The Venezuelan opposition leader, on behalf of her people, gave the president her Nobel Peace Prize. Not a replica. The real thing. Since the meeting was purposely kept private, I wasn't sure that a photo would surface, but one got out, and as of late Thursday night, both the White House and Machado have shared it on social media.

If Minnesota officials don’t like President Donald Trump’s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act, maybe they should do more to tamp down the insurrectionary activity in their state. After an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer was violently attacked by two illegal immigrants while making an arrest Wednesday night and shot one assailant in the leg in self-defense, anti-ICE activists — predictably enough — rioted. In response to the unprovoked attack on the officer, Mayor Jacob Frey once again blasted ICE. Imagine, he implored,

The mother of Hunter Biden's child has asked an Arkansas judge to have him arrested for failing to fulfil a child support agreement, in new court filings. Lunden Roberts, 34, filed an emotional plea to the judge on Tuesday, reopening her child support case against the felonious former First Son, who is now an artist. Roberts settled her claims against Hunter for alleged millions in unpaid child support in 2023, letting him off the hook with a reported $5,000 per month in support payments and an agreement that he would meet with their daughter, then age 4, and let

— U.S. President Donald Trump suggested Friday that he may punish countries with tariffs if they don’t back the U.S. controlling Greenland, a message that came as a bipartisan Congressional delegation sought to lower tensions in the Danish capital. Trump for months has insisted that the U.S. should control Greenland, a semiautonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark, and said earlier this week that anything less than the Arctic island being in U.S. hands would be “unacceptable.” During an unrelated event at the White House about rural health care, he recounted Friday how he had threatened European allies with tariffs on pharmaceuticals.

Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson said that he survived an arterial bleed following a surgical procedure to remove a cancerous tumor, his friend Jack Fowler announced on Thursday. Hanson announced that he was undergoing surgery on Dec. 30 to remove the malignant tumor in his lung, which took several months for doctors to diagnose. He suffered a hemorrhaging from unknown origins in the recovery room and had to undergo an emergency operation, prompting a gradual recovery. “The 12/30 cancer removal surgery a little more than two weeks ago went well. But as happens (I’m 72) sometimes, an arterial bleed of unknown origins developed in the recovery room.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced sweeping new sanctions Thursday on senior Iranian officials and regime-linked financial networks, saying Tehran’s ruling elite are “rats fleeing the ship” as they frantically wire tens of millions of dollars out of the country amid mounting unrest. At the direction of President Donald Trump, Bessent said the Treasury Department is sanctioning key Iranian leaders involved in the brutal crackdown on protesters, while moving to choke off the regime’s sanctions-evasion pipelines used to launder proceeds from Iranian petroleum and petrochemical sales.
