Andrew Torba, CEO of free speech platform Gab.com: “Fight! Fight! Fight!”

Interesting. An extract:

“After tonight’s events [J4MB: The attempted assassination of Donald Trump] I have come to the realization that I no longer want any association whatsoever with any liberals. None.

Not in the community, not at church, not anywhere. The reasons for this decision are rooted in the belief that being around these people poses a threat to our sanity, safety, and families. First and foremost, the constant bombardment of liberal ideologies and beliefs has become a source of mental and emotional exhaustion. The never-ending debates, the constant need to defend our values, and the relentless pressure to conform to their worldview have taken a toll on our mental well-being. These people are insane and in associating with them we allow their madness to infect us. 

The safety of our families and communities is at risk when we associate with liberals. The liberal narrative often promotes a sense of victimhood, division, and chaos, which leads to violent protests, property destruction, and even physical harm to those who dare to oppose their views as we witnessed tonight. We must prioritize the safety and well-being of our loved ones by distancing ourselves from those who subscribe to such destructive ideologies. Get and stay far away from these people. 

Moreover, the liberal agenda often seeks to undermine the very fabric of our society by attacking traditional values and institutions. Their relentless pursuit of progressive policies and agendas has eroded the sanctity of the family, the importance of religion, and the value of hard work and personal responsibility. By distancing ourselves from liberals, we can protect our families from the corrosive influence of these toxic ideologies and preserve the values that have made our communities strong and resilient.

Finally, it is essential to recognize that liberals are not interested in genuine dialogue or understanding. They are content to dismiss opposing viewpoints as “hate speech” or “bigotry” without engaging in any meaningful conversation. This lack of intellectual honesty and open-mindedness makes it impossible to build bridges and find common ground.

It is better to walk away from these fruitless exchanges and focus our energies on nurturing relationships with like-minded individuals who share our values and beliefs. The decision to sever all ties with liberals is a necessary step to protect our sanity, safety, and families. By distancing ourselves from those who promote chaos, division, and the erosion of traditional values, we can create a safe and nurturing environment where our beliefs and values can thrive. Let us stand firm in our convictions and surround ourselves with those who share our vision for a better future.”

Drone footage, Bedford Park

This afternoon I shot a short video (4:24) in nearby Bedford Park. Some Bedford parks forbid drone flying, but not this one. The video description:

“A chap can’t spend ALL his time advocating for men and boys, and challenging feminism and feminists, he’d go mad. Woof.

Moving on from my passion for photography, I recently bought a second-hand DJI Mini 3 Pro (Fly More combo) – this 249g drone can rest on the palm of a hand – and it will take a long time before I master it sufficiently to create (hopefully!) impressive videos and photographs. In the meantime, this. The sheer fun of flying a drone has to be experienced to be believed.

There are huge numbers of videos on YouTube regarding drones. A Northern Irish man, Matthew Brennan, has made some terrific videos on a variety of drone models, including this Beginners’ Guide to the DJI Mini 3 Pro.”

Thousands of prisoners to be released in September

Our thanks to Daniel for this piece on the BBC. An extract:

“Over the next 18 months, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) told BBC Verify it estimated up to 4,000 extra male prisoners and fewer than 1,000 female prisoners will be released under the new measures.”

Daniel comments:

“There’s 3,600 women in prison in the uk, and are in for more serious crimes than men, on average. Yet in September, they’re releasing 1000 of them. (Or ‘just under 1000’) which is around 25% of the entire population. In contrast, just 5% of male prisoners are being released in September.”
