Insult Bloat IN THE '90s, IF SOMEONE FROM "THE LEFT" TRIED TO USE INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE, THEY WERE MOCKED AS "POLITICALLY CORRECT." ‘90s person: WE LIVE IN A MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY. Man in bowtie: PC! THE TERM EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ANYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH "THE LEFT." Man: I SUPPORT GAY MARRIAGE. Right winger: PC! WOKE! ENEMY WITHIN!

HAD RESTRICTIVE, MINIMALIST RULES OF ENGAGEMENT." FIRST PERSON TO EVER CALL IRAQ WAR "PC" NOW, EVERYTHING IS "PC" (OR "WOKE") EXCEPT FOR THE CHAOTIC WHIMS OF ULTRAVIOLENT MAN-BOYS. Iranian woman: PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! Young man in red hat: OH, STOP BEING SO YOU-KNOW-WHAT!

Latest comic on changing usage of the insult "PC," a form of linguistic warfare that has successfully redefined morality, human rights, and democracy itself as "liberal" -- and therefore weak, effeminate, and inferior.

Oh is the little Nazi suffering reputational damage?

Blackmail. Everything leads to Epstein.

Now, after a fortnight of war, with US and Israeli airstrikes killing hundreds as they hit residential blocks, shops, fuel depots and even a school, the mood is changing. Continue reading...

What the U.S. Government Is Dismissing That Could Seed a Bird Flu Pandemic Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vacci...

Call off King's US visit over Iran, urge Lib Dems

Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) reading: “Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!President DJT”

Trump is insulting all those, including British families, worried about his illegal war driving up their energy bills.

Enough is enough. Keir Starmer must show Trump the UK won’t be pushed around and call off the King’s state visit.
