One of the biggest wins of Trump 2.0 may well turn out to be the massive paradigm shift in the perception of so-called NGOs. Once celebrated, or at least tolerated, there has been a widespread awakening that these groups fall somewhere between taxpayer-funded grifts and… https://t.co/tkgU2TsDYM

ANDREW SULLIVAN: How Utterly Lost Is The Left? From UK’s Labour to the response to Charlie Kirk in the US, it’s paralyzed.

The other day I sat, slack-jawed, reading Kamala Harris’ book — which was not easy to do with my eyeballs permanently rolled into the back of my head. (On one issue that killed her campaign, trans policy, she still hasn’t got the slightest clue what she’s talking about.) At one point, I even tried to imagine what America would be like today if this woke lawyer had actually won last year.

Then it occurred to me that we already kind of know. We actually have a pretty good test case of exactly that: a center-left lawyer-politician coming to power last year after a massive immigration wave had discredited and ousted the previous incumbent. Enter Keir Starmer, my high school frenemy, and now prime minister. . . .

So how is he doing?

In one recent poll, his approval rating is 18 percent, with 61 percent disapproving. His government, just a year old, is polling around 19 percent. And in his first year in office, the new anti-immigration Reform Party has doubled its support from 15 to around 31 percent. The Tories — who gave Brits a massive wave of non-white, non-European immigration after Brexit — are at a historic low of 15 percent. Boris may have done what no leftist could: destroy the most successful political party in the West.

This, to put it mildly, is an earthquake. A party barely a year old is almost more popular than the Tories and Labour combined. On paper, Starmer still has four years to right the ship. But in reality, a prime minister who is loathed by four out of five Brits is like Wile E Coyote five feet off the cliff edge.

Let him fall. Plus: “No vote was ever taken on this policy of making London 40 percent foreign-born, a place where English is now often not heard at all — and even where it is, is almost always in a foreign accent. But the minute anyone ever proffered the slightest objection to mass migration (around a million migrants a year for the past four years), the charge of “hate” and “racism” was instantaneous and deafening. Elite right and left were as one, defying the public for decade after decade.”

Plus, the dishonest bigotry of Ta-Nehisi Coates.

Flashback: Modern Politics and the Ichneumon Wasp. “The moribund Left knows who is boss and is selling the only thing they have remaining: access to media and cultural institutions, which suits the Islamofascists just fine. A division of labor has been established in which the Left provides the paralyzing injection on Western society leaving the jihadis a clear field within which to operate.”

I.e., ‘near Daniel Defense.’ The Daniel Defense facility is literally right across I-16 from the new Hyundai plant employing 8,000 people. Both are just outside Savannah. Fort Stewart is nearby, and Kings Bay nuclear sub base is just down I-95 about an hour in Camden County. If that sounds familiar, it’s because Camden County, GA, ALMOST landed a spaceport.

Almost. Maybe next time.

Land is cheap, it’s a right-to-work state, there are long-term military investments and high-tech auto industry investments, and the Port of Brunswick and Port of Savannah aren’t far away. Southern South Carolina is just across the Savannah River in case Georgia ever gets too restrictive and companies want to move to a friendlier venue without really moving very far.
