HMM: Face-to-face with ‘bomb plotters’: Villager tells of 999 call after stumbling on masked men.

“I just thought what the hell are they doing… I saw a group of Middle Eastern-looking young guys running off through the trees. Some of them had masks or balaclavas on, and they all scattered ahead of us as we drove back past.

“Some of them ran into the fields, and some of them turned to run towards the air base. We realised this was something pretty serious. We knew the air base had a credible threat of a terrorist attack before last night. So as soon as I saw them I was worried.

“I mean, you don’t see masked men running around at half one in the morning in the countryside near a secure air base and not have concerns.”

One of the white vans was labelled “FUEL 2YOU” in red lettering, with a phone number.

However, the number appeared to be one digit short and was not recognised when called by Telegraph reporters. The company name does not return any Google search results, and cannot be found on Companies House.

Whatever they were up to, they appear to have been well-organized, and caught only by happenstance.

OVERTON WINDOW, SHIFTING LEFT: Socialism’s Positive Rating Tops 40% for First Time. “Over the longer term, Americans have become less positive about most of the market-oriented concepts Gallup tracks. Since 2010, positive views of big business have fallen by 14 percentage points, free enterprise by nine points and capitalism by six points. Small business is the exception, with views of it unchanged. Meanwhile, positive impressions of socialism have risen by seven points.”

PRETTY MUCH, YEAH:

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Dems’ Virulent Antisemitism Could Be the Midterm Wild Card. “The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) members who are ascendant in the Democratic Party are, for the most part, unhinged antisemites. I added the qualifier ‘for the most part’ there just in case some leftist troll managed to find one who isn’t. I don’t think that will happen though. Zohran Mamdani, Abdul El-Sayed, Rashida Tlaib, and DSA Psycho Queen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez all prefer that Israel be destroyed and Islamic terrorists hold complete sway in the Middle East. That’s what ‘Free Palestine’ is all about.”

Then when the group from this patriarchal society is big enough, they take over the host country. There is some pushback but many people in the host country join with the society in crushing it.

“Nope. The plot won’t work. It’s unbelievable.”

That’s what I thought but this is a history book about the spread of Islam through immigration.

NEWS YOUR KIDS OR GRANDKIDS COULD USE: For Gen Z workers wary of college debt, Walmart offers a road to six figures without a degree. “Walmart is betting that, for Gen Z, the road to a six-figure salary may run through its stores—not a college campus. The massive retailer is building paid, debt-free pathways that train frontline associates and place them in higher-paid jobs as truck drivers, skilled technicians, and licensed opticians. The program also addresses a labor shortage in those fields, by matching the training directly to positions it needs to fill.”

Maher chimed in: “Josh Earnest, he was in the Obama administration. He admitted it. He said: ‘The White House has demonstrated our willingness to exclude Fox News from news making interviews…. He said: ‘We’re going to treat them like we treat an opponent.’ This is exactly what I say about this country. Everybody’s like this is the worst thing in the world except when we do it. And then it’s always perfectly okay.'”

Yep.
