The Little Pink House

4 days ago | takimag.com | John Stossel

Is your home your castle? Not when eminent domain law lets politicians confiscate your property if they claim it’s for “public use.”Politicians say they need the power to take property to build public projects like roads and railroad tracks. OK. Seems reasonable. But now, developers collude with politicians to use the law unfairly, to force people to give up their land for private projects.

The Week’s Most Iran-Gets-a-Nuking, Academic-Lies-a-Puking, and Rappers-Start-a-Duking HeadlinesWAR AND PIZZATime was all an increase in customer activity at a Washington, D.C., pizza restaurant signified was that Bill and Hillary Clinton wanted another fresh young child to rape down in the basement. Last week what an uptick in orders indicated was altogether more geopolitically significant: Israel was about to bomb Iran.
Gypsy Gab

Often on Saturdays, outside a small supermarket in the town in which I live in England, stands a swarthy woman in her 30s who wears a black scarf around her head. She is not Muslim but Moldavian, probably of gypsy background. She tries to sell a publication called The Big Issue to rather reluctant passersby and has an insinuating and obsequiously whining manner that is no doubt intended to arouse pity but—in me, at any rate—arouses only deep irritation and dislike.
Just Wait Until Liberals Learn About Syllogisms

As I’ve been pointing out forever, liberals don’t understand analogies, one of the most basic building blocks of logic, at least since Aristotle. This failing has been on display at MSNBC for some years now.
The First Great Mistake

For any of you out there hoping against hope that Israel might stop the bombing of Iran, forget about it. Israel, along with Uncle Sam, who now wears a blondish haircut, will not stop until there is regime change in Iran. As oil prices go through the roof, Israel will continue to destroy an unarmed nation with help from America. The Iranians aside, the biggest loser in this one-sided war is Putin, who now has only China and North Korea as close allies.

The Week’s Most Poo-Down-the-Throat, Child-Suicide-Note, and Greta-in-a-Boat Headlines NON-PC PURSUITS In our brave new multiculti world, we are always being sermonized upon the importance of “inclusion.” So it is hard not to feel sorry for the officers of England’s Derbyshire Police Force, who were only doing as instructed and attempting to make minoritarian brown Police Constable Shafarat Mohammed feel one of the majoritarian white gang by including him in their back-office game of “Snog,...
Immigration Nation

2 weeks ago | takimag.com | Theodore Dalrymple

It is many years since I retired from medical practice, but even in those days I had many illegal immigrants among my patients. They had claimed asylum, and most of them were indeed fleeing from personal situations, not usually of political persecution, that were deeply unpleasant. In my view they were all illegal immigrants rather than true asylum seekers because they had not claimed such asylum in the first safe country in which they had arrived.
The Bane of Buckley

2 weeks ago | takimag.com | Theodore Dalrymple

Envy is one of the seven deadly sins but ever present among the writing classes. One would think they’d fake it, but envy, like unrequited love, cannot be easily hidden. I recently read a review of a Bill Buckley biography, one that pricked my fairness button despite the writer’s pretense of objectivity. It was a not-so-subtle attack on my onetime mentor William F.

Great news! We finally know how to get liberals to oppose riots. Just say, This is helping Trump!Almost immediately after the mostly peaceful protesters (who are mostly Mexican illegal aliens) took to the streets of Los Angeles to engage in Latin American-style protests — throwing rocks, burning cars, waving Mexican flags, etc. — the media begged the rioters to stop.
