Drowning in Lies :: SteynOnline

Mark Steyn - The Death of the West
...I recalled the summer of 2016, which I spent touring the Continent from the Côte d'Azur to southern Lapland interviewing female victims of sexual assault by migrants...

In particular, I spoke to dozens of women who no longer went themselves, and no longer permitted their children to go, to municipal swimming baths...

In Germany and Scandinavia, where far more people - even in small rural towns - live in apartments, the local municipal pool is an important feature of the summer season.
Or used to be. A fairly typical vignette from that summer:

In Östersund I talked to a young lady whose daughter and her friends had been sexually assaulted in the municipal swimming baths by 'migrants'. The staff who witnessed it sized up the cocksure young lads, swimming in the pool (in defiance of regulations) in their urine-stained and malodorous underwear, and declined to attempt their removal.
'There must have been other men there,' I said. 'Didn't they do anything?'
My friend laughed. 'Swedish men are manginas,' she said - a portmanteau of 'man' and 'vagina' with which I was not hitherto familiar.

I visited the pool myself to see the Muslim men swimming in their grimy underpants and to ask the "guards" why the rules were not enforced.
They answered that they had been instructed "not to make a fuss" - and eventually said I'd have to leave if I didn't drop the subject...
I have said before that we live in "a blizzard of lies", but the gap between the Diversity Myth and reality widens daily, and the lies are becoming more brazen. 

In Germany the government has now launched a new campaign to warn patrons of its public baths that groping is verboten:

As you can see, in 

• one poster, a white man is invading the privacy of a brown woman; 
• in the second, a white man is grabbing the bottom of a brown woman; 
• in the third, two white men are assaulting a brown woman; and, 
• in the fourth, a predatory redhead is groping a brown man with a peg leg...

All in the $$ in the pockets of the WORST PEOPLE in the WORLD!

Big Apple driving school rigged licenses for illegal aliens, even if they couldn’t drive - Kevin Haggerty

Investigators expect they’ve only uncovered the “tip of the iceberg” after Operation Road Test exposed a New York City scheme to get illegal aliens driver’s licenses.

As the downward spiral of Gotham continues, many are still hard at work upholding the law, and on Tuesday, that included announcing an indictment of 14 individuals alleged to have participated in a pay-to-drive scheme. 

Staten Island District Attorney Michael McMahon detailed during a press conference Tuesday that “hundreds if not thousands of people” may have illegally obtained licenses through T&E Driving School in Queens...

• The school was said to be paying off Department of Motor Vehicle employees from the money provided by Chinese nationals, which ranged between $1,600 and $2,000 per license...

Dirtiest perversion of a word "nonprofit"-----Who's Asking Detroit to Build a Minuscule Chinatown? - Michigan Enjoyer

Taxpayers are on the hook for $1 million so that city Democrats can pretend to value Asian voters, while the Chinese have moved to the suburbs - By Jay Murray

• Detroit — “Detroit has a Chinatown?” is a response I’ve received ubiquitously this week while searching for anything or anyone with information on this small remnant of Detroit’s past.

Detroit does in fact have a Chinatown, or more accurately, did have one—located on Peterboro Street near the Cass Corridor...

I was confronted with a sad truth: Chinatown is actually a ghost town...
Standing alone on the northeast corner of Cass and Peteboro is the lone sign post that signifies in sad silence a slight hint that this is an area with Chinese-American history.
Yet, this lonely side street was the focus of an urban renewal initiative announced last year by a nonprofit Midtown Detroit Inc. and funded with $1 million of taxpayer money...

HOW long does it take you to make an appointment with your GP? - Janice Davis

...But then, I don’t live in Wokingham, Berkshire (UK), like the unfortunate Edward Lane, a 60-year-old finance director. 

• His attempts to make an appointment on behalf of his elderly deaf mother, who can’t make phone calls and struggles with the online booking form, were met with immense resistance.
• Lane still wonders why he had to fight so hard just to get an appointment. 

He’s not alone. 

Earlier this month, the Telegraph published an account of the abuse suffered every day by a GP’s secretary – being sworn at, threatened, having to press the panic button – all in the course of having to manage an unmanageable appointments system, whereby patients urgently seeking help hit the brick wall of the NHS’s heavily rationed provision of care. 

• People become so discouraged they are put off seeking medical attention at all. 
• Perhaps, that’s the plan.

Deep-staters threaten to use color revolution tactics against Trump admin: Report | Blaze Media

Deep-staters threaten to use color revolution tactics against Trump admin: Report | Blaze Media: 

These actions, coupled with Rubio's plan to can thousands of State Department employees, have enraged all the right people — including the Democratic lawmakers in Congress who claimed in a June 27 letter that large-scale reductions in force of America's diplomatic workforce would "leave the U.S. with limited tools to engage as a leader on the world stage during this critical juncture."

It appears that the changes have angered bad actors besides those in Congress — some of whom intend to respond with something more serious than sternly written letters.

WHEW-DOGGIE! WATCH Elitist Squirm As He Tries Using Poor, Rural HICKS to Justify Funding Progressive PBS - Sam J.

There's something sadly entertaining about an elitist, documentary filmmaker with over 200K followers claiming that we should continue funding PBS because the poor, rural, ignorant hicks rely on it since they don't have any other 'signal' out in the boonies...

Post includes:

They have...homeland security, crop reports, weather, emergency information. That we’re going to take away? This seems foolhardy and seems misguided mainly because there is a perception among a handful of people that this is somehow a blue or a left wing thing when this is the place that for 32 years gave William F. Buckley a show.”

Oooh, they gave William F. Buckley a whole show?! HOW CONSERVATIVE.
HA HA HA HA HA
Oh, man. These people.

Biden put children in hands of unvetted and criminal sponsors, ICE charges * WorldNetDaily * by Justin Choi, Daily Caller News Foundation

Biden put children in hands of unvetted and criminal sponsors, ICE charges * WorldNetDaily * by Justin Choi, Daily Caller News Foundation: 

"Children's safety and security is nonnegotiable. The previous administration's failure to implement meaningful safeguards has allowed vulnerable kids to fall into the hands of criminals. Our special agents are working tirelessly to locate these alien children, ensure their protection, and hold accountable those who have abused the system," Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spokesperson Laszlo Baksay said in a prepared statement. ICE agents are "doing what should've been done all along: protecting children," Baksay continued, adding that this "is the responsibility of any government, Republican or Democrat, but it was the Trump administration that insisted on rigorous sponsor screening and biometric verification." Currently under the Trump administration, zero illegal immigrants were released from the southern border into the U.S. in May. Activity along the U.S.-Mexico has fallen to historic lows, with only 6,070 encounters being documented in June 2025.

No wonder the media/leftist went nuts!

 

No One is ‘Gutting’ the Safety Net - By The Editorial Board - Wall Street Journal

The GOP will have to rebut the Democratic and media distortions about their reforms or lose the 2026 election.

Allow us to temper the histrionics about “gutting the social safety net” with a few facts about Medicaid, food stamps and Republican priorities.
By now you’ve seen the headline in every outlet: The Republican law will soon toss millions from Medicaid and cut the program to the bone. 

• But annual spending on the health entitlement will grow over the next decade even with the bill’s roughly $1 trillion in estimated savings. Medicaid spending has risen by roughly 60% since 2019, and the bill’s intent is to try to bend Medicaid’s trajectory closer to the bad old days of 2020.

Democrats and some Republicans have offered cynical distortions that pregnant women in poverty and disabled children will suffer. 

• But Republicans are trying to address the program’s enormous ObamaCare expansion to prime-age adults above the poverty line, and note the details of those who will allegedly lose coverage. 

CBO, in an letter last month about the House bill, said 4.8 million won’t comply with the bill’s part-time work requirement. 

That should be a warning about the country’s social condition. 

The work requirement doesn’t apply to anyone who is 

• disabled, 
• pregnant or 
• caring for a child younger than age 14. 
• Volunteering 20 hours a week or enrolled in school? 

You can get Medicaid...

Democrat Voters Demand Blood to Stop Trump - Matt Margolis

In a development that should send chills down the spine of every American who still believes in the rule of law, 

Axios has reported a disturbing new reality inside the Democratic Party.

• According to the article, Democratic members of Congress are facing a tidal wave of pressure from their own base — not to legislate, not to persuade, but to abandon all pretense of civility and embrace outright violence and lawlessness in their battle against Donald Trump and his allies.
• Democratic lawmakers are being bombarded with demands to “fight dirty,” to disregard the norms that have held this republic together for centuries, and to risk their own safety for the sake of political spectacle.

These aren’t fringe outbursts or hollow threats; they’re coming straight from the heart of the Democratic base. 

• The people fueling this rhetoric aren’t struggling or disenfranchised; they’re “economically secure, well-educated white voters in upscale neighborhoods,” according to the report. 
• This isn’t the voice of the oppressed; it’s privilege masquerading as revolution. 

It’s a calculated descent into mob mentality, cloaked in moral pretense, where calls for violence are the latest means to virtue signal their radical left-wing bona fides...
