If you’re 18 years old you’re an adult.
Bad ideas and chaotic behavior are much more forgivable when you’re 18 or 20 or 22 years old and more susceptible to bad ideas and impulses but the worst thing you can do for someone at that age who is doing stupid things is tell them…

NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG: Dirty Deeds After Dark: British Government Locks Down Entire Town to Import More Migrants.
As I am in a Labour fascist bashing mood, I wanted to bring you something else the kinder, gentler government of the new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, was doing to British citizens last night in the name of diversity and inclusion.
They were ordering them all to remain locked in their homes until the authorities gave them permission to move again, and not because the Russians lost the bones of a saint and a pissed-off God unleashed a plague on the world.
Would it were so simple.
The government was preparing for the arrival of a ‘migrant boat,’ rumored to have shoved off the coast of France earlier that day, and headed for the coastal town of Town Gosport, population around 83,000.
Meanwhile, UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood basically admits that the “migrants” arrive via rape boats.
Has the Home Secretary considered doing anything to disincentivize illegal immigration by small boat?

But I guess importing non-assimilating rapists is a small price to pay for… everything else Labour is doing to break Britain.

THAT’S A LOT TO UNPACK IN ONE HEADLINE: ‘Independent’ Nebraska Senate Hopeful Dan Osborn Left Kellogg’s Picket Line To Address Fringe Young Democrats Conference That Backed a Prostitutes’ Union.
Dan Osborn, the Independent Nebraska Senate candidate endorsed by Democrats, ducked out of a picket line in 2021 to address a far-left convention of young Democrats that featured a land acknowledgment, calls for amnesty for illegal immigrants, and a resolution to let prostitutes form a labor union.
Osborn, who claims to be a lifelong Independent with an aversion to partisan politics, is challenging GOP senator Pete Ricketts in a surprisingly competitive race in deep red Nebraska. At the time of the outlandish 2021 Young Democrats conference, Osborn was leading a 77-day union strike against a Kellogg’s plant in Omaha.
Choose wisely, Nebraska.

DANIEL MCCARTHY: Latin America’s Many Trumps.
Latin America is turning right, and it’s a vindication for President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
In some ways, the Cold War never really ended in the Western hemisphere: Socialism has haunted the nations of Central and South America long after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the same Cuban regime the Soviet Union propped up for decades remains in power to this day.
The hard left thought it had cemented control over Venezuela, too, thanks to Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro — until American forces snatched Maduro right out of his bed back in January and took him to New York to stand trial.
Yet most of our neighbors to the south are not ruled by dictators. Instead, elections in Latin America have swung back and forth between left and right.
Only now they’re all swinging to the right, as the region’s biggest nation dramatically illustrated last weekend.
Read the whole thing.

Here are a few stories of horrific, violent crimes committed against women from just the last month or so.

Ginned-up rape claims trump actual murdered women because the former can be used to further the revolution, while the latter cannot.
DISPATCHES FROM THE BLUE ZONES: Virginia Officials Grant Parole To Dozens Of Rapists, Murderers, And Repeat Violent Offenders. “The board voted to release many violent criminals and convicted felons, including several inmates serving life sentences. All five board members were appointed by Democratic Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger after she began her term in January.”
Gooder and harder, Virginia.
TEXAS: Proposition I: Audit Austin.
Of course Democrats and unions hate the idea of audits, because that would show just how deep they’ve shoved their hands into the cookie jar:
Austin appears to use homeless program “consultants” as a conduit to donate money to Democrats.
That is, when they’re not using it to launder money into their own pockets.
Remember the entire “Reimaging Austin Police” lunacy? The entire purpose of that charade was to take money out of the hands of law enforcement and put it into the hands of radical leftwing organizations, almost all of which just happened to have members on the “reimaging” task force.
No wonder they don’t want audits.
Audit them IRS-style.

More:
2) Cornell University Office of Civil Rights investigation reaches finding consistent with police/DA, but concludes fraternity members violated school policies. Expels two frat members, suspends two others, bars one from campus, and shuts down fraternity permanently.
3) Seemingly settled, case fades.
4) Woman changes story, files much-publicized lawsuit blaming incident on fraternity, members, Cornell University, local bar, and her own sorority.
5) Case explodes politically. Local DA re-opens criminal investigation. NY governor appoints AG Letitia James, famous for pursuing President Trump, as special prosecutor.
6) Media narrative emerges blaming Trump for alleged “glorification of being thuggish and swaggering and mistreating women is kind of making you a cool kid.”
TL;DR: “In other words, probably DRAWN UP on a liberal whiteboard somewhere to help motivate liberal women around election time.”
I WANT TO BELIEVE: NASA chief Jared Isaacman wants to stay ‘open-minded’ about UFOs: ‘If it’s aliens, I think NASA should have a seat at the table.’
“When you watch these videos,” Burman asked Isaacman, “do you believe that anything that we’ve seen in any of this is potentially extraterrestrial. Is it military? What is it?”
Isaacman said that NASA has had “a seat at the table” since U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this year called for releasing Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) and UAP files. That call is now officially known as the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE).
“My position going into every one of these: one, be open-minded. I mean, it is kind of our job to go out and try to answer the question ‘are we alone?’ And I said look, if it’s aliens, I think NASA should have a seat at the table in this for sure,” Isaacman said.
“If it’s a Sputnik moment, we did really well the last time that happened. Which means, is this potentially red technology? Is this an adversary that’s testing some next generation propulsion? It’s certainly in the realm of the possible.”
Natural phenomena, space aliens, or unknown earthlings with seriously advanced tech…

GET OFF OF MY CHURCH’S LAWN: Anti-Gun Orgs Urge Clergy to Use Red Flag Laws to Grab Their Congregants’ Guns.
In September, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health’s Center for Gun Violence Solutions published a tract titled “Extreme Risk Protection Orders: A Clergy Resource Guide” (extreme risk protection orders are the gun control advocates’ preferred term for red flag gun confiscation orders). The document was authored alongside groups including Faiths United to Prevent Gun Violence, Faith Leaders for Ending Gun Violence, and Jewish Women International.
Another author was the Presbyterian Office of Public Witness, which the document described as “the public policy information and advocacy office for the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA).” The “progressive” PCUSA currently hosts the guide on its website. Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico, who has put his version of religion at the forefront of his campaign, trained at a PCUSA seminary.
Astute gun rights supporters will know that the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health bears the name of billionaire gun control financier Michael Bloomberg. For his part, Bloomberg appears to believe he can dictate terms to the divine.
Trying to convince clergy to question the fitness or even then mental health of their own parishioners is… well, crazy.

HMM: Five Hormuz Incidents Reported Monday as Tanker Attacks Mount.
UK Maritime Trade Operations reported five separate incidents involving commercial shipping in or near the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, including four tanker attacks and an incident in which Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps threatened another vessel with attack.
Three of the four attack notices were time-late reports covering incidents from October 3 and 4, while the latest strike occurred Monday afternoon. The concentration of reports underscores both the intensity of the recent violence and the difficulty of establishing what is happening in the Strait in real time.
The latest incident, UKMTO 156-26, occurred at 1637 UTC Monday when the master of a tanker reported being struck by an unknown projectile while transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
The strike caused a fire in the vessel’s engine room, which the crew was fighting when UKMTO issued its warning. No casualties or environmental impact had been reported.
The attack followed four other Hormuz-related notices issued earlier Monday.
Last gasp of a dying regime or something else?
