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.

A Florida judge has temporarily blocked the release of surveillance video of Robert Kraft and others allegedly engaged in illegal acts at a Jupiter massage parlor. The Palm Beach County State Attorney had earlier today announced that under Florida’s public records law it planned to release pixelated versions those surveilled at the spa including New England Patriots owner Kraft. Now, everything is on hold until an April 29 court hearing. The notice by the prosecutors office seems like an attempt to intimidate or strong-arm Kraft into dropping his not-guilty plea and request for a jury trial and instead plead out. It’s interesting that liberal mainstream news media/sports media — which is intent on getting its hands on the footage — has abandoned its traditional professed concern for civil liberties when it comes to Mr. Kraft, 77. Despite all the initial spiking of the football, so to speak, Florida authorities have abandoned claims that human trafficking was in play at the spa.

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.
A little late to the discussion, but April 2 was Equal Pay Day. The general theme is equal pay for equal work, which no one disagrees with. That event also provided an opportunity for victimhood-pushing feminists, grandstanding politicians, and other assorted virtual signalers to insist that women only earn 78 cents (or some such increment) for every dollar a man makes. This shortfall allegedly creates a gender pay gap or wage gap.
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.
In a lengthy, skillfully written article, a liberal Trump foe writes that MSNBC’s Russia-collusion-obsessed Rachel Maddow can be as “bonkers” as chalkboard-loving Glenn Beck.
The Soros-funded, Obama-connected prosecutor who controversially dropped all felony charges against actor Jussie Smollett has rebuffed calls for her to step down. On Saturday, she (and several supporters) also played the race card against the the Chicago police union that is demanding that Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx resign from office. Thirty suburban Cook County police chiefs have similarly released an open letter that indicated no confidence in her stewardship of the Chicago-land jurisdiction.
