OH, TO BE IN ENGLAND: Sadiq Khan’s huge grooming gang failure exposed by Met Police whistleblower.

Sadiq Khan is facing pressure to resign over his failure to accept there is a grooming gang problem in London

It comes after a police whistleblower revealed to the Express that the “horrific crime” has been rife in London for 20 years.

Over the course of 2025, the London mayor has dodged questions on the topic on nine separate occasions, but now a former Metropolitan Police detective has claimed there was a “cover-up.”

Decorated former detective Jon Wedger claims he uncovered a trove of evidence suggesting that there is organised sexual exploitation of children in the capital on a level that goes way beyond notorious scandals in towns like Rotherham or Rochdale.

“I’d actually uncovered kids from the age of nine to 14 that were being trafficked for prostitution on an industrial scale,” he told the Express.

DOGS BITES MAN: David Hogg Tries to Make Yet Another Tragic Shooting All About Him. “If I ever get killed by one of these right wingers politicize the fuck out of my death immediately (I’m talking before my blood runs cold) and use it to pass as many gun laws as possible and raise as much money as you can to primary Dems who refuse to support gun laws.”

FASTER? PLEASE! ‘Liquid Uranium Rocket Cuts Mars Trip to 6 Months’: Ohio State Scientists Achieve 1,800-Second Nuclear Engine Performance. “In a groundbreaking pursuit to advance space exploration, The Ohio State University is pioneering the development of a novel propulsion system that could revolutionize travel to Mars and beyond. Known as the centrifugal nuclear thermal rocket (CNTR), this innovative technology aims to enhance rocket performance while significantly reducing the risks associated with engine operations. By utilizing liquid uranium to heat the rocket propellant directly, the CNTR system promises to double the efficiency of conventional nuclear engines. As the race to explore the solar system intensifies, this advancement could play a pivotal role in realizing human missions to distant celestial bodies.”

HOW THE RADICAL LEFT REALLY SEES CHARLIE KIRKS: Richard Pollock, who knows the American Left from the inside, reminds us from Saul Alinsky that being a solid church-going, tax-paying citizen-leader is no guarantee of security against political violence.

“[Charlie] Kirk is widely known as a good person, a follower of Christ, a man who openly espoused debate and the free flow of ideas. Therefore, some say, he is beyond attack, especially a murderous attack. Not so, says Alinsky. He says the ‘good person’ label is a ruse and ‘political idiocy.’

“’Can you imagine in the arena of conflict charging that so-and-so is a racist bastard and then diluting the impact of the attack with qualifying remarks such as He is a good churchgoing man, generous to charity, and a good husband? This becomes political idiocy,’ Alinksy argued.”

And in the context of the post-October 7, 2023 Hamas attack in Israel the Kirk assassination should be understood as an escalation from the subsequent surge in anti-Jewish violence in the U.S. In other words, more such violence could be right around the corner.

CONGRESS SUCKS: Congress close to missing ‘basic’ budget deadline for 29th year, watchdog group says.

Congress is on its way to missing a “basic” budget deadline for the 29th year in a row, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.

Meanwhile, the deficit so far into the current fiscal year is larger than the same period last year.

“We’re less than a month away from a possible government shutdown, and lawmakers are once again finding themselves without a plan to keep the government funded,” said Maya MacGuineas, CRFB’s president. “If all 12 appropriations aren’t signed into law by September 30, it will be the 29th year in a row that they failed to meet the most basic deadline in budgeting. That’s not a streak to be proud of.”

MacGuineas said that the current spending showdown is the latest example of how broken the budgeting process is in Washington.

There’s a process?

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: MSNBC Might End Up Getting a Corporate Exorcism. “MSNBC has been able exist as the ratings-challenged cable propaganda mill for so long because it’s pretty much been a charity project of the massive corporation behind it. It could hide behind the NBC News division. That security blanket is going away. The fact that the network doesn’t have anybody watching it is going to be more glaring now.”

#RESIST: Dem Mayor Orders Flags To Full Staff Post Charlie Kirk Assassination, Firefighters Say No.

“Good morning, all. As directed by the mayor, all City of Aurora buildings, including the fire stations, are to have their flags at full staff,” the memo from Fire Chief David McCabe of the Aurora Fire Department posted by Franck Ricci, a retired New Haven, Connecticut, firefighter, read. “I know everyone has their own opinion on whether the flag should be at full or half-staff, but that is irrelevant. Someone will be coming around to raise all station flags to full staff.”

The memo went on to say that any manipulation of the flags to place them back at half-staff would be viewed as “a violation of a direct order.”

The source on the ground told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the local firefighters’ union reached an agreement with Laesch that no member of the union would have to raise the flag to full staff. A video posted to X by Ricci appears to show Fire Assistance Chief of Operations Matt Anslow moving the flag to full staff.

“In flagrant disregard for unity, the mayor and chief raised the flags, chasing cheap political points over national mourning, exposing the left’s relentless pursuit of division over decency,” Ricci told the DCNF.

You stay classy, Dems.
