DON’T BE SILLY, EVERYONE KNOWS THE BEST PIZZA IS BIG ED’S IN OAK RIDGE, TENNESSEE. New York Versus Naples: Which City Has Better Pizza? Generations of gently-glowing atomic scientists can’t be wrong.

CHANGE:

We are witnessing a turning point.

Concerned locals and families are now outnumbering the far-left by a HUGE margin at protests against illegal migrant hotels.

This is happening across the entire country.

I hope this continues.

BRITAIN: Top British Army Officer Predicts Civil War as ‘Rabbit in Headlights’ Leaders Incapable of Political Solutions. A friend writes: “This article reflects exactly what I observed and have discussed with several British political friends/ business associates in the last few weeks. The exodus from the UK for those with resources is accelerating. Just yesterday, a close friend in London asked my wife (a real estate broker) to help him find property in Florida. He is also planning to leave the country while the Tommy Robinson Sept 13 rallies are taking place.”

This is actually a place where the monarchy could and should play a constructive role, but my hopes of that at present are very small.

The English are now in widespread moral revolt against the multicultural regime. Reform are the boomer protest vote, the migrant hotel protests are the locals out in force, and the raise the colours campaign seems to be an active working class resistance.

CHANGE: Restaurants Create ‘Ozempic Menus’ For Diners on Weight-Loss Drugs: Mini meals with bite size portions are meant to appeal to people taking GLP-1 weight-loss drugs that reduce appetite.

I wondered if the prices were shrinking commensurately, and apparently so: “Clinton Hall, a group of burger and beer restaurants in New York City, is known for large portions, but it recently introduced a mini meal that includes a petite hamburger, a few fries and a small beer for $8 — a third of the price of a regular-size combo.”

There may be other demand for that. The late, lamented Long’s Drug Store luncheonette, founded in 1956 and in business until a couple of years ago, served 1956 sized portions and it was easy to see why people could eat burgers and fries without getting fat back then.

YES, BUT THERE’S A DIFFERENT STANDARD FOR NONWHITE, NON-EUROPEAN CONQUEST.

The British colonialism lasted a few centuries, left behind railroads, legal systems, education, and modern institutions.

It wasn't perfect. It had its sins. But it also built.

The British brought modern medicine, science, engineering, and governance. They opened schools, built…
