A WEEK of fragile ceasefire in the Middle East, but no let-up on two other fronts: Trump’s Truth Social war on the Pope and his Western ‘allies’, and the war waged on us at home by our elite.
Trump at least has kept me laughing all week. I love him for what the establishment hates him for, his uninhibited stampede through all their hypocrisies, lies and niceties. Albeit nearly 80, he is undoubtedly a master of the social media age. None of his younger Western counterparts get it. However many ‘crazed meltdown’ insults they throw at him with from the sidelines, they never find their target.
Last week no one was too high to escape Trump’s brutal truths, not even the Pope. First he slammed Leo XIV for being ‘weak on crime, and terrible for foreign policy’ (correct) and for supporting Iran’s nuclear weapons programme (correct). Then came the next lashing: ‘Will someone please tell Pope Leo that Iran has killed at least 42,000 innocent, completely unarmed, protesters in the last two months, and that for Iran to have a Nuclear Bomb is absolutely unacceptable. Thank you for your attention to this matter. AMERICA IS BACK!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP’
The Pope misses the fundamental moral truths that Trump understands, and faces. ‘They [Iranians] don’t understand being nice.’ See the clip here where he explains why his voice is hoarse.
Even the once ‘beautiful’ Italian PM Giorgia Meloni didn’t escape Donald’s version of dinkum oil. She got it in the neck for describing his attack on Pope Leo as unacceptable.
‘She is the one who is unacceptable, because she doesn’t care if Iran has a nuclear weapon and would blow up Italy in two minutes if it had the chance,’ he flung back.
Quite so. Saying it as it is (with a bit of self-congratulatory icing) sends his detractors into a frenzy every time they take the bait.
The irrelevance of of Trump’s non-allies was brilliantly captured by one wag on X: ‘Starmer Announces Bold Mission to Reopen Strait of Hormuz . . . After Iran and Trump Just Declared It Open’. I am not the only Trump fan out there!
I admit Trump hasn’t quite trumped them all yet – the Hormuz Strait seems to be opening and closing like a laptop – but he will. I am with the US analyst Victor Davis Hanson. An article in the Epoch Times that a reader alerted me to the day before the Hormuz Strait was declared open again made complete sense. There is good reason, Hanson wrote, to believe in an outcome favourable to the United States and ‘one far better than the status quo ante bellum’.
Don’t expect to hear this from the MSM when Trump does finally achieve his objectives.
The other war, that none of the Trump-outraged give a damn about, is the war against us on the home front. The latest provocations last week were the publication of the Southport report and the refusal of Surrey police to disclose details of the Epsom rapists. We are constantly being made to suck it up without redress. Where was the ‘moral outrage’ so eagerly displayed by past and present Archbishops of Canterbury – Rowan Williams and Sarah Mullally – in their anti-Trump support for Pope Leo on the points laid bare in TCW by Steve Doughty about the Southport murders and the dance around unpalatable asylum seeker truths?
Rudakubana’s parents were asylum seekers; Lucy Connolly was more right than wrong; the race card was played. As a result of which three innocent little girls were brutally slaughtered. Yet no criminal prosecutions of those who failed to heed warnings about Rudakubana. Warnings that were disgracefully treated as racist. No increased watch on or curtailment of male asylum seekers’ activities. As we well knew, there was a police cover-up. Now we see the same pattern again in Epsom: valid concerns being brutally stamped down by the two-tier police as reported by Bruce Newsome yesterday. The protesters treated as though they were the perps.
The nature of the elite who do this to us was part of the long conversation I had with Liam Tuffs which was published on Thursday. And republished on TCW yesterday. I watched it back on Friday night with some trepidation, noting all the things I missed or didn’t explain properly. Like my reply to what counts as an alpha male. I said men who are strong in mind and body. When were the last such men around, Tuffs asked. I hesitated and said the Second World War. That was wrong. If courage – physical and moral – is the defining factor (which is what I meant), then it was still alive and well in our soldiers in Afghanistan. In Americans and Australians too.
The corruption of modern times, I should have added, is that such masculinity is demonised and punished. The feminist progressive left won’t stop till they’ve smashed those essential qualities.
Confirmation came last week: Australia’s most decorated soldier hero is the latest, highest-profile target of this vicious vendetta. I read in the Spectator Australia of the humiliating removal of Ben Roberts-Smith from a plane at Sydney Airport, followed by his arrest. This is the soldier who received the Medal for Gallantry (2006), the Victoria Cross (2011) and a Commendation for Distinguished Service (2012). He’s been hounded and demonised for years over alleged atrocities in Afghanistan around a decade and a half ago. Don’t miss Paul Collits’s searing report on this case in TCW tomorrow.
This is the dystopia we live in. Billions in government resources go into attacking our own heroes while our descent – here as well as in Australia – into migration-driven disorder and brutality go unchallenged. A day or two before a reader had sent me this short video, ‘I can’t believe this is Australia now’, by Harris Sultan. It sums up the speed of collapse into social chaos and brutality under the sanction of ‘progressive virtue’.
I received many kind messages about my interview with Liam, for which thank you! But also some quite vile responses on X. My praise of Churchill brought some dedicated anti-Semitic anonymous online haters out of the woodwork. Between the British history- and Empire-hating left and pro-Islamic anti-Zionists, a Churchill today would be forced out of the country or into prison, I thought.
Don’ t they know we wouldn’t have a country without him? But perhaps they’d have been happy to march behind a Hitler.
Those are the sort of home truths that I hope Trump will deliver to King Charles when he visits the USA.
