The surging, grassroots Brexit Party is in for the long haul, regardless of what happens in the EU parliamentary elections on May 23, the group’s leader Nigel Farage announced today. The Brexit Party will field candidates “with real-world experience” in the next U.K. national election for the House of Commons, the domestic parliament, whenever that occurs, Farage explained in another tour de force speech and press conference.
You don’t have to be a fan of controversial, fringe Infowars at all, for example, to be concerned about the implications for free speech. The latest bans, which also includes independent journalist Laura Loomer, appears to be a warm-up act by social media platforms for future censorship of mainstream conservatives, populists, and libertarians heading into the 2020 election.
With some votes still being counted, the Conservative Party got clobbered yesterday in local elections in the U.K. with municipal officials on the receiving end of protest vote over the Prime Minister Theresa May and her party’s failure to implement Brexit. In the low-turnout elections, thousands of voters even scrawled pro-Brexit messages on the ballot papers rather than selecting any of the candidates. “It is unusual to see a consistent message from those spoiling their ballots, reflecting the growing anger at the government’s failure to deliver an exit from the European Union.,” Westmonster noted.

U.S. President Donald Trump was voluntarily absent from the head table on Saturday night at the Washington Hilton Hotel ballroom. And you can add this to the list of Trump administration accomplishments: In removing himself from the guest list, the president rendered the so-called nerd prom — the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner– irrelevant by boycotting the “once ultra-trendy, star-studded” event for three consecutive years.
There is increasing momentum among House Democrats across ideological lines to impeach U.S. President Donald Trump. That is the contention of journalist Michael Tracey.
The irreverent Turtleboy Sports blog is definitely not for everyone. The muckraking, adult content is often vulgar, but its slick writers could even give the clever New York Post headline writers some pointers. The entertaining and provocative Massachusetts-based blog focuses mainly on municipal corruption, felonious activity, and welfare cheats rather than sports. No surprise that the blog has broken stories that initially escaped the notice of the mainstream media. Like it or agree with its content or not, the future of Turtleboy Sports, and its slightly toned down TB Daily News version, has emerged as an online free speech issue.
Russiagate turned out to be “Deflategate” in that the Mueller report deflated the 24-7 media narrative that the Trump campaign colluded with the Kremlin. Against that backdrop, Aaron Maté joins an exclusive club, consisting of Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, Michael Tracey, and Caitlin Johnstone and just a few other anti-Trump, left-wing/progressive journalists essentially concluding that the whole thing indeed was an establishment/media-driven hoax, if not a coup attempt against a sitting president.
At year’s end, this blog discussed an extremely bothersome if not perhaps stomach-turning conversational technique known as uptalk or upspeak which has spread like an epidemic. It’s like chalk on a blackboard (assuming blackboards still exist). You’ve heard it all over television and radio even from broadcast professionals and the speech pattern has unfortunately seeped into day-to-day life. This is the tendency for a speaker to end a simple declarative clause or sentence as if it is a question.
