Pro-Trump protesters attempted to make a citizen's arrest of outspoken London Mayor Sadiq Khan yesterday.

Courtesy of the Daily Mail: 

This is the dramatic moment a group of far-right Trump supporters tried to arrest Sadiq Khan while quoting the Magna Carta. 

The men stormed the Fabian Society conference in London moments after the mayor took to the stage and accused him of 'subverting the English constitution'. 

Mr Khan's speech had to be suspended for several minutes as the demonstrators from a group called the White Pendragons were escorted out by police. 

The chaos appeared to have been sparked by Mr Khan's comments about the US President's decision to cancel his UK visit. 

Mr Trump claimed he pulled out of opening the new American embassy in London because he disagreed with the decision to sell off the old building for 'peanuts'. 

But Mr Khan said it was clear that Mr Trump had 'got the message that many Londoners' did not want him here. 

As the London Mayor started to speak at today's event, the protesters stood up and shouted that they were making a 'citizen's arrest'. 

I am assuming that these idiots are much like our own "sovereign citizens" who think they have the right to open carry automatic weapons into police stations, and don't have to own a driver's license to drive.

Nice to see that Trump supporters in other countries are just as ignorant and ridiculous as the ones in this country.

Foreign policy expert predicts a devastating geopolitical crisis in 2018.

Courtesy of CNBC: 

The world is moving toward crisis and a state of "geopolitical depression" as the presidency of Donald Trump accelerates divisions among citizens and the unraveling of the global order, risk consultancy Eurasia Group warns. 

Liberal democracies are suffering from a deficit of legitimacy not seen since World War II, and today's leaders have largely abandoned civil society and common values, Eurasia Group says in its annual assessment of top geopolitical risks. The breakdown in norms opens the door to a major event that could rock the global economy and markets. 

"In the 20 years since we started Eurasia Group, the global environment has had its ups and downs. But if we had to pick one year for a big unexpected crisis — the geopolitical equivalent of the 2008 financial meltdown — it feels like 2018," said Eurasia Group President Ian Bremmer and Chairman Cliff Kupchan. 

U.S. global power is "sputtering to a stall" as the Trump philosophy of retrenchment and unilateralism sows confusion among both allies and rivals, Eurasia Group says. The world now lacks leadership to steer it through the impending crisis. 

"'America First' and the policies that flow from it have eroded the U.S.-led order and its guardrails, while no other country or set of countries stands ready or interested in rebuilding it … significantly increasing global risk."

Here are some of Eurasia Group's predictions.

• China will fill vacuum left by United States: People argue that America should not be the world's police, but have they considered who takes that responsibility once we drop the ball?
• Miscalculations spark conflict: I think knowing Trump's lack of understanding concerning world affairs that this is a given.
• Technology Cold War: Oh yeah, most definitely.
• Tough year for Mexico
• Deteriorating U.S.-Iran relations: Already seeing this happen. Could lead to more direct conflicts, even militarily, or proxy wars within other countries.
• Falling trust in democratic institutions: America is the gold standard when it comes to democracy, once the rest of the world sees that it failed us why would they trust it in their countries?
• Rise of protectionism 2.0: Already seeing it.
• Brexit gets tougher to manage: Undoubtedly.
• Identity politics in  Southern Asia.
• Africa becomes less stable: Not an expert on this, but it is scary to imagine such a volatile nations becoming even more less stable than it is now. 

If even a portion of these prove accurate we are in for a devastating year.

If they all prove accurate we may be looking at a breakdown of world order that will see the rise of more dictators, increased poverty, and even the possibility of another world war.

How does everybody feel about that protest vote now?

A photograph of British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson standing with the elusive Russian "Professor" shows up on social media. Uh oh.

Update: I did some extra digging. The Olga account in question liked a pic of a certain man in London. That certain man was at an event attended by Mifsud and Boris Johnson two weeks ago where this pic was taken. Isn't that Mifsud on the left with the British foreign secretary? pic.twitter.com/fTNJSnwPLp

Yep, that's who that is alright.

Courtesy of Politico: 

A photograph has emerged of British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson with the “London professor” whose alleged high-level Kremlin contacts have led to him featuring in the FBI’s investigation into links between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and Russia. 

It will add to questions about the possibility of attempted Russian influence at the heart of the British government. 

The picture, which was posted on Facebook shows Johnson, wine glass in hand, standing with Joseph Mifsud, the Maltese academic and a businessman, Prasenjit Kumar Singh. It is alleged that Mifsud was a key link between Russia and the Trump campaign.

You may remember that this is the same "Professor" who supposedly compromised George Papadopoulos while he was working with the Trump campaign, by tempting him with access to those fabled Hillary emails.

You may also remember that this "Professor" is now missing.

New evidence has recently come to light that the Russians used Twitter to influence the pro-Brexit vote that Boris Johnson promoted as well, and there is substantial evidence that they also interfered in a variety of other ways.

So could compromising Boris Johnson be one of those "other ways?"

Could be. 

Of course it could also just be a coincidence that Boris Johnson is photographed hanging out with the same Russian operative who interfered in the 2016 American presidential campaign.

You know just like all of those "coincidences" where folks on the Trump campaign all seemed to have worked independently to get their hands on those non-existent Hillary emails.

New study finds that the reason that Brexit passed is because Britain is full of uneducated morons. They needed a study for that?

Courtesy of The Independent:  

Britain would have likely voted to remain in the European Union were its population educated to a slightly higher level, a new study has found. 

Researchers at the University of Leicester say that had just 3 per cent more of the population gone to university, the UK would probably not be leaving the EU. 

The researchers looked at reasons why people voted Leave and found that whether someone had been to university or accessed other higher education was the “predominant factor” in how they voted.

The level of higher education in an area was far more important than age, gender, the number of immigrants, or income in predicting the way an area voted, the researchers found. 

Age and gender were both significant but not as important as education level, the researchers found. Income and number of immigrants in an area were not found to be a significant factor in how people voted.

You know just back about seven or eight months ago this would be the part where I would point and laugh, "Ha ha England your country is full of  idiots."

But then this happened.

Yep, no pointing and laughing for us.

Just another opportunity to reinforce the importance of improving our educational systems and in helping our children gain access to colleges and universities.

Remember, dumb people vote for dumb policies and even dumber politicians. 

UK officials want an investigation to determine if Russian interference helped bring about Brexit.

New British Prime Minister Theresa may with Vladimir Putin last year.

Courtesy of Business Insider: 

Labour MPs are ratcheting up pressure on the government to reveal whether Russia interfered in the EU referendum. 

Former culture secretary Ben Bradshaw told Business Insider that the "public has a right to know" if the Kremlin attempted to influence the outcome of the Brexit vote in June last year. 

He is concerned that Prime Minister Theresa May’s government is not being transparent enough about the issue — particularly now there is acceptance in the US and other European nations that Russia has attempted to meddle in democratic decisions, he said. 

Bradshaw pressed the government on the matter in two separate House of Commons debates in December last year, during the second of which he asked the prime minister what is being done to investigate Kremlin interference.

It is a more than reasonable request since we certainly know that Putin wants to break up the EU because he fears their combined power.

And it is not as if there is not any evidence to support this.

Courtesy of Newsweek: 

Reports suggested that Russia used its vast intelligence apparatus during the run up to the U.K.’s June referendum on EU membership in favor of the winning “leave” vote. Both RT and Sputnik, English-language news outlets which receive funding from the Kremlin, produced often misleading news coverage that tallied with the campaign urging voters to leave the EU. 

Russia is also believed to have leveraged its “troll army”—individuals paid by the Kremlin to produce and promote fake social media content—to focus on messaging around the referendum campaign.

The Russian disinformation campaign may have influenced the vote outcome. Polling in the lead up to the referendum had showed a majority of UK nationals wishing to remain. But as election day neared it became apparent that the race had grown close, and the final vote count resulted in a narrow victory for the leave camp, which won 51.9 percent of the votes compared to 48.1 percent for the remain side. 

The Brexit leave vote fits with Russia’s goal of weakening the EU, which it has eyed warily as former Eastern Bloc countries have flocked to join. The U.K.’s withdrawal will leave the EU without one of the three largest economic and military powers in Europe.

Please, if Russian interference could convince the voters in America to elect the worst president since the founding of the country, how hard would it have been for them to convince British voters to throw away their future?

Sarah Palin, off her meds, and in full meltdown over the UN, Brexit, and One World government.

You might want to sit down for this one.

UN SHACKLES - PUT THEM ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK 

It may be tiresome to hear my repetitive warnings about the USA being shackled to the UN (Boy ain't that the truth!), but what I've said for years bears repeating. (No, not really.)We have not the money nor should we have the inclination to continue funding this Globalist circus that counters our best interest, ultimately endangering us and our allies. (Say what?)

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another... (Oooh, plagiarizing the Declaration of Independence. Bad form.)

The UK knew - it was that time. (And just look what it to their economy.)  And now is that time in the USA.

The Brexit referendum is akin to our own Declaration of Independence. (Oh God, somebody gives this poor idiot a history lesson.) May that refreshed spirit of sovereignty spread over the pond to America's shores! (Sarah Palin, why do you hate America?)

Congratulations, smart Brits. Good on you for ignoring all the fear mongering from special interest globalists who tend to aim for that apocalyptic One World Government (Ah, she's channeling Alex Jones again.) that dissolves a nation's self-determination and sovereignty... the EU being a One World Government mini-me. 

America can learn an encouraging lesson from this. (Yeah, don't fucking do it.)


It is time to dissolve political bands that connect us to agendas not in our best interest. May UN shackles be next on the chopping block. 

- Sarah Palin

You know reading this is kind of like taking a taxi ride with a driver all amped up on methamphetamine.  Only there are more sharp turns and sudden stops.

I find it more than a little interesting that the UN was originally created, with full support from the US just so you know, as a way to unite the world against the next Hitler like dictator who might rise to power and endanger the stability of the planet.

Yet now that we have our own Hitler like figure attempting to gain control over the country and spread anarchy through the world, he and his minions see it as job one to undermine, if not destroy, the very agency created to stop that from happening.

Donald Trump, and his groupie Sarah Palin, want to do away with the UN because they see it as an obstruction to their vision of the future.

And that should be something that terrifies us all.

Sarah Palin: "Well, see, Great Britain and America, see how we're hooking up now?" Yep, still an idiot.

Courtesy of the Independent:

Sarah Palin has responded to Donald Trump winning the White House by likening it to the UK's vote to leave the EU. 

"Well, see, Great Britain and America, see how we're hooking up now?" she told the Associated Press at a Trump rally as the results rolled in. 

"We're going rogue and saying, you know, the people are going to take back control of our governance."

Ms Palin continued: "Really, we're going to be able to say, no, we don't want this globalism [...] 

"We can't be telling other countries, other nations how to sweep their porches if we can't sweep our own yet. 

"So we've got to take care of what's going on here within our borders, just like you all have done, especially recently."

When prompted over whether she saw a similarity between the surge of popularity of Mr Trump and the UKs decision to leave the EU, she said: "Yes, that's exactly the movement [...] 

"And when, when the vote came down [for Brexit in the UK], I was looking at it like, watch. 

"This is gonna come on over to the pond, and we're gonna have some of that - just bleed on over into America and certainly we see that tonight."

You know it is really only the anarchists, sociopaths, and bottom feeders who can really celebrate a Donald Trump victory.

And I think Sarah Palin qualifies as all three.

One thing we can know for sure is that this is going to revitalize her reputation and inspire her to get even more involved in politics and with the media.

She jumped on the Trump train early and shook her droopy pom poms for him until the bitter end.

Donald Trump keeps an enemies list, but he also rewards loyalty.

I hate to say it, but we are going to see a whole lot more of Ms. Palin in the years to come. 

Mr. Brexit?

They will soon be calling me MR. BREXIT!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 18, 2016

"Brexit is an abbreviation for "British exit," which refers to the June 23, 2016, referendum whereby British citizens voted to exit the European Union."

So does this mean that Donald Trump is leaving the EU?

Or does it mean, as Time Magazine suggests, that he is going to suddenly turn things around and surprise people by overcoming the odds and attracting the most votes as the Brexit referendum did in United Kingdom?

Or does it mean he has had enough and is leaving the presidential race?

If it is the third one that means that this recent Michael Moore article suggesting that Trump never wanted to win the presidency and is looking to drop out is dead on.

Could this mean that our long national nightmare is about to end?

Or that it is only about to get worse?

Beats the hell out of me.

The Southern Redneck assures us there will be no Southern Brexit.

I love this guy.

Probably the best tweet about Brexit that I have seen so far.

Well if this is accurate then David Cameron is something of a political genius and Boris Johnson just stepped in a huge pile of poo.

By the way it appears that this Brexit vote has also had a rather alarming affect on Britain's economic status as well, as France has now replaced them as the fifth largest economy.

I say, good job old chaps.

Sarah Palin doubles down on the stupidity of Brexit by suggesting that America should now leave the UN.

I know stuff just ask me.

"Shackles on the chopping block?"  Nice imagery there moron.

It is not surprising that Palin is all giddy and damp panties over this Brexit thing, after all it is driven by the same xenophobia and white outrage that is behind the Donald Trump campaign.

Isolationism, religious intolerance, fear mongering, in many ways Brexit is a look into the crystal ball predicting what could happen in this country if we allow Donald Trump to win the White House.

And it is yet another reminder of why it is more important than ever for Democrats to turn out in historic numbers to keep that from ever happening.

If you are thinking of sitting this one out because things did not go your way, you better think again.

Brexit explained in one video. (Well more or less.)

Actually since this video was made David Cameron has stated publicly that he is stepping down as Prime Minister.

There is also talk over here of this giving Donald Trump a certain bump in the polls, since an anti-immigration stance is also what drove much of this vote to leave the EU in Britain.

Though considering that the markets are now in free fall it is hard to imagine that being much of a bump. 

These are certainly interesting times we are living in right now. 

You know sometimes you cannot be sure something is a bad thing until Sarah Palin likes it, and then you know.

Courtesy of the international moron's Facebook page:  

Time out between kids soccer games to tune in to good news of UK voting to leave the European Union - choosing independence from global special interests and affirming status that controls its own borders and protects its own people. Happy Brexit prevails! 

I have to admit that I was only vaguely paying attention to all of this drama in Britain (Kinda got my own drama gong on.), so when the vote came down I started to Google it to find out more about it.

Well as it turns out it's bad, really bad.

But then I really did not need to do any of that googling.

All I had to do is wait for Sarah Palin to weigh in.

So without a doubt we now know that it was a terrible decision.

And people say she's not good for anything anymore.
