Karl Marx & Frederick Douglass were both born in 1818. Marx grew up in comfort, Douglass in chains. Marx thought the world owed him more comfort; Douglass only demanded liberty, & he'd do the rest. https://t.co/jRy659r5mT

NIGEL FARAGE: Make no mistake this is a coup – we MUST have an election now.

In the space of just a few short weeks, Andy Burnham has effectively crowbarred his way into No10 without anyone even trying to block his path.

He has arrived there unelected, unopposed and with no mandate from the public whatsoever but for a by-election victory in Makerfield.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country has been left scratching its head in bewilderment as it faces yet another handover of power to someone it never asked for, nor, frankly, knows very much about politically at all.

Considering this is someone who claims he wants to bring about the biggest change in our politics for 40 years, this represents a very disturbing state of affairs indeed.

Make no mistake, this is a coup, plain and simple. There must be a General Election immediately.

Worryingly, what few words Burnham did say before he disappeared behind that famous black door indicate his time in office promises to be every bit as disastrous as Sir Keir Starmer’s, if not worse.

Worse.

It’s true that Britain needs a general election, stat. But Labour needs the three years before the next election is required to import more Third World hooligans.

Labour has power and doesn’t mean to relinquish it.

Given that Nicaragua's dictator just announced no more elections, maybe it wasn't such a good idea for you to elect him to the U.N. committee overseeing human rights NGOs. https://t.co/1DZYCAD3K1

“There will never be elections here again,” Mr. Ortega, 80, said at a government rally marking the 47th anniversary of his leftist movement’s revolution.”

AN EPITAPH, OF SORTS, FOR JOHN ROBERTS’ CREDIBILITY:

Roberts is entirely situational. He decides each case on its own terms based on the political climate of the day. Roberts does as much as he thinks he can get away with, no more and no less. In one case, minimalism. In another case, maximalism. Rules of prudence are thrown to the wind when the cause is just. And the Chief Justice uses whatever magic is needed to get there.

Roberts is not an institutionalist. He is an illusionist. But like all other illusionists, once he is off the stage, he will be quickly forgotten. Chief Justice Marshall’s decisions are still revered. Will anyone even remember the sorts of political compromises the Roberts Court navigated? Why did he vote to save Obamacare? Why did he vote to save Roe? I can barely remember the situations from the first Trump administration. Roberts’s opinions may as well be written with disappearing ink.

A weak man, performing weakly.

The far-left is driven by over-educated failures who can’t succeed in the real world, which is why they overwhelmingly hide in academia, NGOs and push socialism. https://t.co/2a0UdAaY8P

As I’ve said…the socialist trend is for privileged dorks with enough family wealth to squander a decade as a perma-student, but not enough talent to actually achieve anything. Educated beyond their intelligence. https://t.co/E61vqvqUGp

Socialism is for losers. It provides a way that they can advance without producing anything of value and — more importantly — an avenue for revenge upon those who do.
