Britain and the Crisis of National Identity
Posted By: Dodge Boy, 1/29/2026 7:26:29 PM
England, one of the world’s oldest nation-states, has long stood as a symbol of continuity, tradition, and cultural propriety. From the consolidation of the monarchy to the expansion of the British Empire, it helped shape Western civilization, anchored in Christian heritage and legal principles (Magna Carta). It also historically protected minority communities, including Jews, from persecution. Yet in the twenty-first century, England (and Britain) faces unprecedented internal crises—in governance, national identity, and cultural cohesion—that suggest, not just a period of transition but the possible unraveling of a once-cohesive civilization.

Greenland: Homecoming
2 replies
In the vast expanse of the Western Hemisphere, the Greenland saga is as old as American ambition itself. But in our latest chapter, the push to bring this Danish-held island into the American bay kicked off in earnest back in August 2019, when President Trump’s first administration floated the idea of purchasing that frozen strategic gem. It wasn’t some whim; it was a calculated step at securing our future.
Let’s be clear: Trump’s vision for Greenland isn’t pie-in-the-sky fantasy. Like it or lump it, his insistence that it’s vital to U.S. national security rings true, backed by cold, hard history. Flash back to April 9, 1940, when Hitler’s forces...
Donald Trump’s determination to bring Greenland under American control has been widely mocked as eccentric or theatrical. That reaction misses the point. Beneath the blunt language and headline-grabbing delivery lies a strategic argument rooted in geography, military physics, alliance realities, and the accelerating competition among global powers in the Arctic. Trump’s fixation on Greenland is not a whim. It is the product of a long-running belief that the island represents one of the most valuable pieces of territory on Earth for American security. Failing to secure it would amount to a historic act of negligence.
America’s Real War: The Enemy Within

For a brief, shining moment in 1945, the United States stood astride the world like a colossus. In four years, we had built the greatest military machine in human history, liberated half the planet, and dropped the sun itself on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to prove the point. Nazi Germany, fascist Italy, and imperial Japan (three empires that had terrorized the globe) lay in smoking ruins. The message was unmistakable...[Snip] What we are living through in 2025 is not a series of unrelated crises; it is the culmination of an eighty-year campaign to hollow out the greatest republic the world has ever known.
Senators have reportedly reached a deal to end the exceptionally long government shutdown, though details have yet to be released. Fox News reported the news on Sunday evening in an X post. “BREAKING: Republicans and enough Senate Democrats have reached a deal to end the government shutdown after 40 days, a source familiar tells FOX News,” the brief post stated. Enough Senate Democrats agreed to vote with Republicans to end the shutdown, according to the unnamed sources.
How Mamdani Won New York
16 replies
Zohran Mamadani’s stunning victory as the newly elected mayor of New York was salt poured in the open wound of an even more titanic blue wave that swept aside any hopes that the nation had turned back to traditional sanity. He’s an old-school communist who made no effort to cloak his Marxist bona fides behind the charade of democratic socialism, and secured a victory that we could see coming from a mile away.
It's a turning point for the nation as a disciple of the deadliest ideology the modern world has ever known is empowered to beset this terror upon Americans [snip].
Which begs the question, how did he do it?
With Zohran Mamdani’s ascension in New York City, Bernie Sanders nearly capturing the Democrat presidential nomination in 2016 and 2020, and the rapidly expanding number of Marxist-indoctrinated candidates and elected officials, socialism—or its latest euphemism, “Democratic Socialism”—is now the dominant philosophical underpinning of the Democrat party. This is a philosophical capture that will not result in transforming the United States but in the fracturing and demise of America’s oldest political party.
Charlie Kirk and Cancel Culture
0 replies
The public exposure campaign against those who expressed malignant delight in the public execution of Charlie Kirk has prompted the usual facile harangues against “cancel culture” from the typical cast of tripe merchants. These characters are astonished that their stock of free speech clichés has been found inadequate to address the fact that several thousand Americans found it perfectly acceptable to relish the murder of a 31-year-old father of two, simply because he held the political beliefs of the median Republican voter.
In 1776, American colonists, despairing that their rights as British citizens were being trampled upon by their overbearing king, George III, decided to secede from the British Empire. Thomas Jefferson wrote down their grievances in the Declaration of Independence. Just a few of them include the cutting off of trade, imposing taxes without consent, depriving the people of trial by jury, suspending colonial legislatures, and waging war on the colonists. [snip] In 2025, there are rumors that we may yet see another civil war.
One never knows for sure beforehand, but I think Charlie Kirk’s assassination may be something of a tipping point in American politics and culture, or, at a minimum, an inflection point. Why? Because Charlie wasn’t a radical, he wasn’t a firebrand, he wasn’t a bomb thrower… No, Charlie was—in a relative sense—a lamb. And now, that lamb has been slaughtered.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has become the rare figure who draws as much raw hostility from Democrats as Donald Trump ever has. That fact alone is remarkable.
Democrats once celebrated Kennedy as the scion of a legendary political dynasty. They now treat him as a menace to society. His break from the blue ranks last year, and the populist movement he has built, mirrors Trump’s earlier rebellion against establishment Republicans. That similarity explains why both men are uniquely loathed by Democratic insiders.
The fury stems not just from Kennedy’s decision to leave the Democrat party, but from how he left.
On Tuesday, President Trump took umbrage at a question about the Justice Department’s assertion that there are no Epstein tapes, there is no client list, and there is nothing more to be released. The Twitterverse has been brutal towards AG Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and his #2, Dan Bongino. Many people were saying they felt betrayed, given the fact that, before the election, we were told that the files would be released and the criminals held to account.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said Wednesday that his time as an elected official will permanently end when he finishes his term as governor. “I will never run for an elected office again. Never again,” Walz, the 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee, said in an interview with MS NOW. Walz had said this month that he would not seek re-election as governor — sending shock waves through state and national politics — but he did not go so far as to say he would not consider another elected position down the line. In explaining his decision Wednesday, Walz talked about the

NYC $12B Deficit Budget: NYC Facing ‘Serious
Fiscal Crisis’ 21 replies
New York City (NYC) Mayor Zohran Mamdani cast blame on former NYC Mayor Eric Adams for the city’s $12 billion deficit budget, stating that the city is facing a “serious fiscal crisis.”
During a press conference on Wednesday, Mamdani accused Adams of underbudgeting important services that NYC residents “rely on every single day,” while “quietly leaving behind enormous gaps for the future.” Mamdani also accused former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) of extracting NYC’s “resources” and using the city’s revenues to “address state level holes, while withholding from the city what it was owed.”
Hunter Biden says it doesn’t matter that he has “ghosted” his 7-year-old daughter with ex-stripper Lunden Roberts because he never agreed to be a part of her life, according to a stone-hearted new legal filing. The 55-year-old former first son argued Tuesday in new court papers that the contentious Arkansas child support case for daughter Navy Joan Roberts shouldn’t be reopened after he and his baby mama settled in 2023. But Roberts, 34, earlier this month said Hunter should be jailed for failing to uphold his end of the bargain, claiming he’s refusing to talk to Navy and not giving her pieces of his artwork before it dramatically plunged in value
Hillary Clinton took to social media to express support for the rioters in Minneapolis even as the disgraced former candidate and her husband were dodging a congressional subpoena looking into their relationship with family friend and Clinton Foundation co-founder Jeffrey Epstein.
After condemning the Trump administration’s push to deport illegal alien criminals from Minneapolis, despite the obstruction of violent leftist rioters who had tried to murder federal law enforcement agents and bit off an agent’s finger, Clinton urged directing funding to the rioters.
“In Minnesota, scores of ordinary people are bravely looking out for their neighbors, defending their communities, and protesting lawless violence,” she tweeted. “Here’s how to stand with them.”

Former NFL star Charles Tillman swapped footballs for rifles and pistols after hanging up his cleats, swapping a career on the field for one in it.
That was until one day in January 2025 when ICE descended on Chicago.
After 13 seasons in the NFL, the former cornerback joined the FBI, enrolling in the bureau's 20-week training program in Quantico, Virginia in 2018, two years after retiring from football.
And the Chicago Bears icon embraced the role, previously citing a desire to 'do my part and give back' as his reasons for joining up in an exclusive interview with The Daily Mail last year.
However, Tillman, 44, has now revealed
With the clock ticking down to a potential government shutdown this Friday, Senate Republicans are reportedly considering a move that could leave the southern border wide open to invasion.
A group of Republican senators is now openly discussing whether to split the Homeland Security appropriations bill away from a six-bill funding package in order to avert a partial government shutdown that would impact the Pentagon and several other major federal departments, according to The Hill.
The six-bill package includes funding for the Departments of Defense, Health and Human Services, Labor, Education, Transportation, State, and financial services-related agencies.
Augusta, Maine - Democratic state Rep. Deqa Dhalac will not seek reelection to represent House District 120, and says the decision comes after "serious reflection and conversations" about the political climate for Black elected officials.
Dhalac says during her time serving in the Maine Legislature, the climate has become "increasingly hostile and unsafe." "Throughout my tenure, I have experienced persistent racism, harassment and threats that reflect a broader national pattern targeting Black and brown elected officials," Dhalac said. "These dangers are real and carry heavy emotional and physical consequences not only for those serving but for their families as well."
Dhalac is one of the first Somali Americans to serve
Plans have been launched to protest at Target stores across the country this weekend to demand the Minneapolis-based retailer takes a firm stand against federal immigration enforcement. Organizers are staging anti-ICE protests in at least nine Twin Cities locations on Saturday, including the Richfield store where two Target employees who are U.S. citizens were detained earlier this month. Local nonprofits ISAIAH and Unidos MN are leading the effort, which they say is a call for ICE to leave Minnesota and for justice following the January killings of Minneapolis residents Alex Pretti and Renee Good by federal agents. Target still hasn't

Following weeks of unrest in Minnesota over immigration enforcement in the state, White House border czar Tom Homan announced Thursday that he will begin reducing the number of federal agents in the state once state officials follow through on their pledge to begin cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Homan, who was dispatched to Minnesota after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti over the weekend, acknowledged that ICE and Customs and Border Patrol operations in the state had not been conducted “perfectly” and that changes needed to be made — but he also reserved significant criticism for Minnesota Democrats who have prevented federal agents from collecting the targets of enforcement operations
If the second Trump term turns out to be like “The Apprentice” without “You’re fired!” its ratings are going to resemble Joe Biden’s.
That means needlessly big losses in the coming midterms, and an end to — or even reversal of — President Donald Trump’s agenda.
President Biden never accepted blame for the Afghanistan debacle, for economic malaise and record inflation or any of his other disasters, such as the endless waves of illegal migrants waved into the country.
But he also never even implicitly admitted his team had failed by axing an obvious author of those debacles —
Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson admitted Wednesday he was “in regular communication” with other mayors leading so-called “sanctuary cities” in efforts to impede enforcement of federal immigration laws.
President Donald Trump called for an end to “sanctuary cities” in a post on Truth Social Monday, following a series of shootings, two of them fatal, that took place in Minneapolis involving Department of Homeland Security personnel engaged in immigration enforcement operations. Johnson said during a press conference at the National Press Club he’d been talking with Democratic Mayors Jacob Frey of Minneapolis and Michelle Wu of Boston about how to combat
How to Stop the Female March Leftwards
12 replies
What have Little Red Riding Hood, Jane Austen’s Emma and prison reformer Elizabeth Fry got in common? They are all female-coded ‘compassionate’ girls and women who can help us understand why young women are veering to the radical Left. The New Statesman has reported on this trend and the predilection of young women to support various perceived victim groups – trans rights and Palestinians, for example – even when these groups clash with their own interests.
Explained as “suicidal empathy” by Gad Saad and the “hijacking” of instinctive female care for victims by Eric Kaufmann, the lurch to extreme Left-wing ideology by young women today deserves our full attention.
