Boris Johnson must introduce radical new ‘family minister’ role urges senior Tory MP

Our thanks to Len for this. The Hungarian Minister of State for Family and Youth Affairs is Katalin Novák, a woman (predictably). Extracts from the piece:

Since 2015, the Hungarians have also transformed their tax and benefits system to help encourage stable families and allow them to have children without the woman being penalised in her career and pay. [J4MB: It’s still OK for the man to be penalised.]…

On top of this couples can take out a low loan interest of around £40,000 and a second general purpose loan of around £28,000.

The second loan will be cancelled if families have three or more children and women will also have their student tuition fees paid off and have their mortgages reduced. [J4MB: Men won’t have their student tuititon fees paid off, nor have their mortgages reduced.]

As usual, “family friendly policies” are primarily advantageous for women, and mainly funded by male taxpayers.

Our thanks to Mike P for this. What further proof would anyone need that radical feminism is a cornerstone of the Establishment? It has been for decades. Caroline Criado-Perez, a serial Lying Feminist of the Month, has an OBE.

Terrence Popp: The Killer of Killers (Book One of The Jericho Files)

I’m pleased to announce that LPS publishing, my publishing concern which offers a full range of services to people wishing to see their books published in hardback, paperback, or ebook editions, recently published its first work of fiction, Terrence Popp’s The Killer of Killers (Book One of The Jericho Files), you can order the e-book from amazon.co.uk here.

It’s available to read for free if you have a Kindle Unlimited account, or you can buy the Kindle e-book for £7.68. If you don’t have a Kindle device, you can download free software from Amazon to your computer or other devices. Through the link above, you can click on “Look inside” (on the book’s cover) and read from the start of the book to the middle of chapter four, for free, before deciding whether to buy it. The paperback will be available to order through Amazon next month, for around £11.50.

The “About the Author” section of the book:

Terrence SM Popp was born in Paterson, New Jersey, in 1968. He’s a retired First Sergeant from the United States Army. He served from 1986 to 2018 with 12 years assigned to the Michigan National Guard. The character of his service was that of a special operations soldier. Popp was an Infantry Soldier, Airborne Ranger, Paratrooper, and a Green Beret. His service covered three formal wars in which he twice almost lost his life; he participated in several operations that will never be printed on the pages of history. Over 30 years, he traversed the circumference of this earth twice by foot while carrying the sum combined weight of a dreadnought battleship upon his back. He was frozen in the Arctic, baked in the hottest deserts, and boiled in the deepest jungles.

Popp has faced some of the darkest evils of our time and lived to talk about it. In between wars, mainly out of boredom, he competed as a professional kickboxer and fought his way up the ranks and earned a light heavyweight world title shot. He has no quit in him, drive has taken him far and will perhaps take him farther still, we shall see.

In 2009 he established Second Class Citizen, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization which educates and supports non-custodial fathers and mothers, particularly veterans.

Popp has a YouTube channel dedicated to political satire and comedy, and a website, Redonkulas!. In 2012 he published his first book, Warrior’s Way and the Soldier’s Soul, a philosophical manuscript. He has two daughters, and now resides in the Detroit Metropolitan area.

The book’s Prologue:

Good and evil.

The dance of the universe is a delicate balance that must be kept. Where there’s good, there’ll be evil; where there’s evil, there must be good. The universe will tolerate nothing less. Evil never sleeps, nor rests; it takes no prisoners, and has no mercy.

It only negotiates for position and bides its time until it can utterly destroy those in its path. What is typically spoken about this eternal conflict is that good is stronger than evil.

This is untrue.

The two forces are equally matched and evil doesn’t only fight good, it fights evil as well. Evil does not play well with others and by its very nature attacks the weak, even if weakness is within its own ranks.

There’s an instrument that the universe uses to bring back into balance the light and the darkness.

Thomas Maxwell Belisle is that instrument.

He’s not much to look at, at first glance. Just a face in the crowd, a slow drowning mouth-breather in the sea of mediocrity; another bland visage of a man who doesn’t merit a second glance. But the bottom of the resume pile is not where the story ends, it’s where the story begins. Below the surface of Thomas Maxwell Belisle, deep under his skin, carved on the walls of his soul and burned into his heart, the real story is written.

Once upon a time, there was a boy whose closest friends were the spirits of the dead. They weren’t the stereotypical specters and monsters that merely haunt the nightmares of most. These spirits were as real to Tom as the flesh and blood creatures of the world and that suited Tom just fine. It was his ‘normal’. An introvert to begin with, he didn’t entirely notice or mind when he unknowingly crept into the world of the weird and became an outcast in the eyes of most who came into contact with him. During his childhood he was often ostracized, and because of this, he grew to be content to be by himself. He learned to feel at home on the darker side of the world, a place where his spirit companions could tell him where to find his lost toy, or tell him who just tripped him on the school bus, or tell him there was another child just around the corner heading toward him at a dead run and clutching open scissors. Thomas was formed and forged into a unique man, a soldier, spy, assassin, psychic, remote viewer and a hunter of evil.

Most are unaware of the raging battle of good and evil being waged around them every moment of the day, but for those finding themselves immersed in evil and stuck behind enemy lines in the blackest heart of darkness, Thomas Maxwell Belisle is the light at the end of the tunnel. When the love of God has abandoned a person, all hope seems lost, and all a person loves is on the verge of destruction or the gaping edge of oblivion, one would accept no substitutes. Thomas Maxwell Belisle is the demon who fights the devil, the thing that monsters dread, the thing that stalks the shadows with abandon.

If fate has been kind to troubled souls, Thomas Maxwell Belisle has already set out on his way to complete his grim work for their benefit. He pulls those troubled souls from the pit of despair, rescues the lost from the black maw of evil, and at times beats back death itself on their behalf. As for those who have stood in his way, if they saw anything at all, it was the flash of Thomas Maxwell Belisle’s eyes as he hurled them into oblivion.

Season’s Greetings to all our supporters (and a few words on ICMI21)

I was planning to post this blog piece tomorrow, but our IT team needs the site to be down for a couple of days to do some maintenance.
Elizabeth Hobson and I recently posted our review of the year (video, 42:41). We’d like to thank all our supporters for all they’ve done for us over the past year. People help in so many ways, as:

  • party members
  • regular donors
  • occasional donors
  • providers of links to interesting materials
  • commenters (particular thanks to Groan, Douglas, Mike P, among many others)
  • providers of video content, most notably Tom, Ewan, Glass Blind Spot
  • providers of information, advice and guidance
  • providers of encouragement

A few words on ICMIs. We’re still hoping one will be held in Australia next year, and there are currently projected to be two in 2021 – one in North America, one in India.

Boris Johnson: Perhaps my campaign was ‘clunking’. But sometimes, clunking is what you need.

A piece in the Xmas edition of The Spectator:

You may wonder why I am up at 4.45 a.m. writing this diary when I have a country to run, Queen’s speech to prepare, vast mandate to deliver, and so on. The answer is simple. It is a question of obligation. When I bumped into the editor (at Sajid Javid’s 50th birthday party) a couple of nights ago, he explained — with a slightly glassy expression — that he had taken a gamble. He had already printed the cover of the Christmas treble issue, he said. I know all about the Xmas cover. It is lavish, laminated, and on much thicker stock than the normal cover. It costs a bomb. Once you have printed it, you can’t change it. ‘Your name is on it,’ said Fraser. What could I say? I became editor 20 years ago. I owe this magazine. If the editor is going to be so kind as to co-opt me as a contributor, my duty is to oblige.
Fraser has given me the chance to acknowledge some other massive debts. Let’s hear it first for the thousands of activists — of all parties — who have just allowed our democracy to function. No PM really wants an election; and I certainly didn’t want one in December. But we had no choice; and — thank heavens — the activists understood that. For the last six weeks they have traipsed good-humouredly through rain and wind. With freezing fingers they have rung bells and pushed bumf through the furry fringes of letter boxes — never knowing whether a dog’s jaws are on the other side. Many have put up with undeserved abuse. They have been egged, trolled, spat at, and screamed at. They have seen their expensive Corex boards repeatedly torn down and defaced. Much has been made, in parliament, of the need for a kinder, gentler ‘tone’ in politics. Amen to that, and let’s make sure we all take it out on the campaign trail.
I also want to pay tribute to the handful of superb Conservative colleagues who lost their seats — mainly because of unexpected falls in the Labour vote. One way or another, I am sure that they will all be back. We also lost some first-rate Labour MPs, such as Caroline Flint. On the whole, though, this new parliament that meets on Tuesday is a vast and exciting improvement. It is younger, more female, more ethnically diverse, more LGBT, [J4MB emphasis: a reminder that Boris Johnson is no less in thrall to identity politics than David Cameron was, at least in his public statements] and, of course, quite a lot more Tory.
As for my own campaign thanks, you will read elsewhere of the heroics of the campaign director, the strategists, thinkers and others. Perhaps I should mention especially the media team, who had to explain such mysteries as why I chose to shut myself in a giant fridge and what exactly I was thinking when I confiscated a TV reporter’s mobile live on air; and the ‘Ops’ team. The ‘Ops’ team basically manage your life. They tell you when to get up, what to wear, where to stand, and they organise brilliantly vivid metaphors for the political points you are trying to make. In the space of 24 hours they had me driving a JCB through a Styrofoam wall to symbolise breaking the parliamentary deadlock; delivering milk on the doorstep, to denote delivery of our domestic agenda; baking an oven-ready pie to show that we have a ready-made withdrawal agreement with the EU; and working in a wonderful Welsh wrapping-paper factory — to show that we could get it ‘wrapped up’ by Christmas (more or less). Some said these metaphors were clunking, but in a general election campaign, clunking is what you need.
All these debts of gratitude are dwarfed, of course, by the colossal obligation that we in this new government have towards you — the people of the UK; and I am thinking particularly of those of you who have only hesitantly lent us your support. For the millions who voted in 2016 to remain in the EU, but who have just voted to get Brexit done, we must develop a new and warm pro-Europeanism. It is good and sensible to achieve close relations with the EU. We can do that, and heal our country’s divisions. For the millions of Labour voters who have lent us your votes — we will work flat out not just to GBD, but to deliver on all the key priorities of the British people. It is now imperative to invest in the NHS, in schools, in safer streets, in housing. We must tackle everything from social care to homelessness. All these projects are part of a vast interlocking programme to unite and level up the whole UK, and to unleash its potential. I know these slogans sound trite at the end of a campaign. But I — we — mean them wholeheartedly. As the dawn breaks, I am full of a surging confidence that we can do it. We have the energy, the ideas, the mandate, and we have some time; and since time is a wasting asset I want you to know that even as you munch your mince pies, we are engaged full tilt on a programme of change for the better. Merry Christmas!
