About 60 percent of U.K. Conservative Party members say they will vote for Nigel Farage’s newly launched Brexit Party in the elections for the European Parliament. This is according to a survey by Conservative Home, which calls the findings “the most astonishing we have ever published” and reflects anger over Theresa May’s epic Brexit failure.

Two men who allegedly assaulted Germantown, Md., resident Atsu Mable, a Trump supporter, are in police custody. Mable, an immigrant from Togo, was merely walking in his neighborhood last Saturday evening after dinner while wearing a Make America Great Again (MAGA) hat when the duo confronted him.
Special Counsel Mueller’s report released today concluded that there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Nor was there any obstruction of justice by President Trump. But does there need to be a further inquiry into collusion?
Nigel Farage’s newly formed Brexit Party could win the European Union parliamentary election on May 23, if new polling data from YouGov is accurate. The surging Brexit Party appears to be taking votes from a combination of Brexit-supporting Conservatives (a.k.a. Tories) and Labor voters as well as the United Kingdom Independence Party, UKIP or Ukip, which for various reasons has lost market share.
As a result of the sabotage of Brexit by U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May and other Remainers in the country’s parliament, a new, grassroots political movement called the Brexit Party has emerged. Brexit champion Nigel Farage, the former UKIP leader, and others officially launched the party today.
Benjamin Netanyahu has won reelection as prime minister of Israel, putting him on course to be the country’s longest-serving chief executive in the Jewish state’s history. The Netanyahu right-wing coalition gives the incumbent leader a majority in Israel’s multi-party parliament, the Knesset, which is necessary to form a government. Under a parliamentary system, the “government” is essentially equivalent to our executive branch, with key member of parliament simultaneously serving in the leader’s cabinet. Although it won the same number of seats as Netanyahu’s Likud Party, the opposition “centrist” Blue and White coalition has formally conceded. Israel is the only functioning, multi-ethnic democracy in the Middle East.
Back in February, this blog explained that needlessly bringing up the H word is always a bad idea. Turning Point USA communications director and pro-Trump stalwart Candace Owens learned after her past remarks surfaced from an event in Britain where the organization opened a new chapter. Like her or not, everyone including Candace Owens needs to realize that liberal blue-check Twitter and all the assorted media and political grifters are going to immediately pounce on any high-profile conservative’s use of the H word. It’s just asking for trouble.
Another day, another Trump supporter badgered in public merely for wearing a Make America Great Again (MAGA) hat.
“In a video that has been widely circulated on the internet, a crazed leftist put her hands on a woman wearing a Trump hat in a post office, calling her a ‘racist,'” Big League Politics reported.
Critics of Israel, including those activists in the Boycott, Disinvestment, and Sanctions movement, argue that the Jewish state practices apartheid. So-called Israel Apartheid Week is scheduled for April 8-11, overlapping with Israel’s April 9 national election and the run-up to the Passover celebration. Against that backdrop, it seems appropriate to point out that the small country is the only functioning, westernized democracy in the Middle East. Like the U.S., Israel has issues, not the least of which is its own Deep State seeking to undermine incumbent Prime Minister Netanyahu. Among other civil rights, it is also a country where people are free to practice any religion or no religion. A visitor walking down the street of any Israeli city will immediately realize that it is a diverse, multi-ethnic, multicultural country. These compelling images say it all about Israel apartheid.
An older man minding his own business at a Palo Alto, Cal., Starbucks apparently triggered a woman merely because he was wearing a MAGA hat, according to news reports. The woman who tried to bully him, described by Palo Alto Online as a member of a local progressive Democrat organization, accused the 74 year old of being a Nazi and racist. It turns out the man is Jewish. A music store where the woman worked subsequently fired her.
