Keir and Kamala Cut from the Same Cloth
As Alexis de Tocqueville told the world long ago, if it happens in America — whether it's democracy, Coca-Cola, obesity, or single-motherhood — eventually it will arrive on your shores.
My article, “The Real Indictment Against Kamala Harris,” was picked up and re-published by the Dutch political party and think-tank, Forum for Democracy (FvD), with an added introduction showing that the recent outburst by Prime Minister Keir Starmer reflects the same prosecutor’s mentality that the way to deal with political opponents is to arrest them.
Keir Starmer has revealed his true colors as the first Stalinist prime minister of Britain. But has anyone noticed that he shares the essential trait that I recently identified with the aspiring next president of the United States: both rose to power by putting people in prison? (…)

The original article below was published in the current (August) issue of the New English Review.
The surreal prospect of Kamala Harris as a major party presidential candidate — and before that possibly the president of us all — offers irresistible temptations to the satirists and those who laugh to keep from crying. Her shallow philosophizing and word salads have filled us all with, shall we say, amusement (at least until now). Not since Dan Quayle has a VP offered such a tempting target for ridicule (and he was an intelligent man, as it turns out, whose bravery in stating unpopular truths has been vindicated).
I will resist the temptation and risk ruining everyone’s fun by posing a serious question: How did this hopeless mediocrity rise so high in American public life? Being a politician’s mistress offers one alluring explanation, but the real reason is more sobering. It is precisely the one that she herself has been playing up, but it is also the same reason why so many mediocrities wield so much power in Washington and across America: (…)

Think about this one for a minute. Kabala Harris throws the Jewish candidate for Vice-President under the bus because she doesn't want to offend the small group of Pro-Palestine, anti-Jew voters in the U.S. Then she picks Tim Walz as her V.P. Walz has proven he's a tyrant as Minnesota government with allowing the burning of Minneapolis during the 2020 Foreman Riots, not doing anything to arrest and jail BLM and ANTIFA who committed the riots, then locked down all businesses & schools in the entire state during COVID, wants a transgender sanctuary state, an illegal sanctuary state and other nefarious programs. Harris picks Walz over Shapiro and here's why. Walz is a WHITE GERMAN SOCIALIST!!!!! If Harris wins the Presidency (God forbid!!!!!), and she cannot perform her duties because of incompetence, illness, Deep State assassination, etc., then Walz becomes President. We have Nazi Germany Redux 90 years later!!!!!! Walz being a WHITE GERMAN SOCIALIST will be the 2nd coming of Adolf Hitler!!!!!!
Be careful with Forum voor Democratie! They’re crazy! Thierry Baudet is crazy! He seemed to start an interesting intellectual conservative project, but after winning the provincial elections a few years ago, he really went berserk, drove the whole party apart, started talking nonsense and FvD dwindled. Don’t even ever mention them if you want to be taken seriously, also in right-wing circles.
