‘Two-tier justice’ is real: In the UK and in our own backyard

The violent clashes in Britain this week have exposed the establishment’s hypocrisy and neglect.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday called a Cobra meeting, which convenes the government’s emergency management committee. This includes London's top police officer along with the top police officers from all over England and the country's senior security agents.

Nobody has reported what went on inside. When the chief law enforcement officer left the meeting, however, a journalist asked him whether officials would end “two-tier justice.” He proceeded to tear the microphone from the reporter’s hand and throw it on the ground.

The English police are releasing Hamas-affiliated rioters without even writing them a ticket while putting the 'full force of the law' on their own people.

This is why he reacted with such anger: They are in denial that there is a double standard in policing. They either believe they’re treating everybody equally, or they want to convince you that they are. We know this isn’t true.

In England, the authorities have turned a blind eye to the Muslim population because they fear potential violent reactions. London now comprises 55% ethnic minorities, meaning the traditional establishment no longer holds a majority. What does that mean? If there is a problem, you better be very, very careful.

During the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, Starmer, who was the Labor Party’s minority leader at the time, said the following:

I was shocked and angered about the killing of George Floyd and the response of President Trump, of the U.S. authorities, to the peaceful protests, to people rightly demanding justice. ... The last week has shone a spotlight on the racism, discrimination, and injustice experienced by those from black and minority ethnic communities in the U.S., in the U.K., and across the world.

That’s why today I’ve written to the prime minister asking for his assurance that the British government is doing all that it can to urge President Trump to respect human rights and the fundamental democratic right to peaceful protests. The Labor Party stands with black communities in our country and across the world because black lives matter.

Starmer talks a lot about injustice, so let's examine England’s situation. The police haven’t investigated Muslim sex rings that kidnap young girls and cover up the crimes. They've ignored street violence mainly committed by illegal immigrants. There are "no-go zones" in predominantly Muslim and illegal immigrant neighborhoods. If you criticize crimes by illegal immigrants, you're labeled a racist and can be jailed for Facebook posts. This is a two-tier justice system. Does Starmer care about this injustice?

Let’s compare what Starmer said in 2020 to what he is saying today to the residents and the people who were born in England who are standing up and calling for justice:

No doubt, those that have participated in this violence will face the full force of the law. The police will be making arrests. Individuals will be held. Charges will follow. And convictions will follow. I guarantee you will regret taking part in this disorder, whether directly or those whipping up this action online and then running away themselves. This is not protest. It is organized violent thuggery. And it has no place on our streets or online.

The person he is talking about who “whips up this action online and then runs away” is Tommy Robinson, who has spent a lot of time behind bars in Britain simply for pointing out that the people going into court for raping children were Islamists. He was covering the trial, and because of that, he was thrown into prison.

Meanwhile, migrant pro-Palestinian protesters surrounded a female Sky News reporter live on the air, and instead of continuing the coverage, the network said that it would cut off the live feed and send security instead. Why would you need security if it’s a “peaceful” protest? Why not just abandon your female reporter, who is now being surrounded by migrants who are saying, “Free Palestine?” Why are you afraid? What would be the problem there?

Their paradigm is falling apart.

Meanwhile at the BBC, a reporter remarked how Muslim counterprotesters were chanting, “Allahu Akbar,” which, he says, “people weren’t happy about.” Go figure. But, according to the establishment, they're not the problem. The white citizens of England who are standing up and saying, “What the hell is happening to my country?” They are the problem.

The British prime minister insists the two-tier justice system does not exist and expects people to believe it, just as our establishment insists no two-tier justice system exists in the United States. And yet the U.S. House Judiciary Committee reported this week that the Department of Homeland Security has released 99 terrorism suspects into the United States since 2021. This is the same DHS that took a million illegal immigrants who violated our nation’s laws, boarded them on planes using taxpayer money, and flew them into the center of our country. But not to worry, the border is secure.

If Donald Trump had done that, do you think there would be a problem? Why isn’t there a problem now? Shouldn't this issue transcend whoever is in the Oval Office? Half of this country only cares about their political party.

The first commandment says, “You shall have no other gods before me,” but in this country, it seems we have gods called the GOP and the DNC. Policy doesn’t matter. If it’s good for the DNC, I’ll bow down. Do you want Kamala on the ticket without a vote or democratic process? May the DNC be praised. What’s wrong with people who won’t think for themselves?

We still don’t have answers about what is happening. We still don't know anything. We still don't know anything about the shooting in Las Vegas. We still don't know anything about the shooting in Nashville. But it's a good thing we have those January 6ers in jail.

Meanwhile, the English police are releasing Hamas-affiliated rioters without even writing them a ticket while putting the “full force of the law” on their own people. That’s happening in Great Britain right now, even though the British press is denying it.

You need to know what is true, then square your shoulders to stand up for it, no matter the consequence, or your children will not have freedom.

How private stewardship could REVIVE America’s wild

The left’s idea of stewardship involves bulldozing bison and barring access. Lee’s vision puts conservation back in the hands of the people.

The media wants you to believe that Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) is trying to bulldoze Yellowstone and turn national parks into strip malls — that he’s calling for a reckless fire sale of America’s natural beauty to line developers’ pockets. That narrative is dishonest. It’s fearmongering, and, by the way, it’s wrong.

Here’s what’s really happening.

Private stewardship works. It’s local. It’s accountable. It’s incentivized.

The federal government currently owns 640 million acres of land — nearly 28% of all land in the United States. To put that into perspective, that’s more territory than France, Germany, Poland, and the United Kingdom combined.

Most of this land is west of the Mississippi River. That’s not a coincidence. In the American West, federal ownership isn’t just a bureaucratic technicality — it’s a stranglehold. States are suffocated. Locals are treated as tenants. Opportunities are choked off.

Meanwhile, people living east of the Mississippi — in places like Kentucky, Georgia, or Pennsylvania — might not even realize how little land their own states truly control. But the same policies that are plaguing the West could come for them next.

Lee isn’t proposing to auction off Yellowstone or pave over Yosemite. He’s talking about 3 million acres — that’s less than half of 1% of the federal estate. And this land isn’t your family’s favorite hiking trail. It’s remote, hard to access, and often mismanaged.

Failed management

Why was it mismanaged in the first place? Because the federal government is a terrible landlord.

Consider Yellowstone again. It’s home to the last remaining herd of genetically pure American bison — animals that haven’t been crossbred with cattle. Ranchers, myself included, would love the chance to help restore these majestic creatures on private land. But the federal government won’t allow it.

So what do they do when the herd gets too big?

They kill them. Bulldoze them into mass graves. That’s not conservation. That’s bureaucratic malpractice.

And don’t even get me started on bald eagles — majestic symbols of American freedom and a federally protected endangered species, now regularly slaughtered by wind turbines. I have pictures of piles of dead bald eagles. Where’s the outrage?

Biden’s federal land-grab

Some argue that states can’t afford to manage this land themselves. But if the states can’t afford it, how can Washington? We’re $35 trillion in debt. Entitlements are strained, infrastructure is crumbling, and the Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service, and National Park Service are billions of dollars behind in basic maintenance. Roads, firebreaks, and trails are falling apart.

The Biden administration quietly embraced something called the “30 by 30” initiative, a plan to lock up 30% of all U.S. land and water under federal “conservation” by 2030. The real goal is 50% by 2050.

That entails half of the country being taken away from you, controlled not by the people who live there but by technocrats in D.C.

You think that won’t affect your ability to hunt, fish, graze cattle, or cut timber? Think again. It won’t be conservatives who stop you from building a cabin, raising cattle, or teaching your grandkids how to shoot a rifle. It’ll be the same radical environmentalists who treat land as sacred — unless it’s your truck, your deer stand, or your back yard.

Land as collateral

Moreover, the U.S. Treasury is considering putting federally owned land on the national balance sheet, listing your parks, forests, and hunting grounds as collateral.

What happens if America defaults on its debt?

Do you think our creditors won’t come calling? Imagine explaining to your kids that the lake you used to fish in is now under foreign ownership, that the forest you hunted in belongs to China.

This is not hypothetical. This is the logical conclusion of treating land like a piggy bank.

The American way

There’s a better way — and it’s the American way.

Let the people who live near the land steward it. Let ranchers, farmers, sportsmen, and local conservationists do what they’ve done for generations.

Did you know that 75% of America’s wetlands are on private land? Or that the most successful wildlife recoveries — whitetail deer, ducks, wild turkeys — didn’t come from Washington but from partnerships between private landowners and groups like Ducks Unlimited?

Private stewardship works. It’s local. It’s accountable. It’s incentivized. When you break it, you fix it. When you profit from the land, you protect it.

This is not about selling out. It’s about buying in — to freedom, to responsibility, to the principle of constitutional self-governance.

So when you hear the pundits cry foul over 3 million acres of federal land, remember: We don’t need Washington to protect our land. We need Washington to get out of the way.

Because this isn’t just about land. It’s about liberty. And once liberty is lost, it doesn’t come back easily.

EXPOSED: Why the left’s trans agenda just CRASHED at SCOTUS

You never know what you’re going to get with the U.S. Supreme Court these days.

For all of the Left’s insane panic over having six supposedly conservative justices on the court, the decisions have been much more of a mixed bag. But thank God – sincerely – there was a seismic win for common sense at the Supreme Court on Wednesday. It’s a win for American children, parents, and for truth itself.

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court upheld Tennessee’s state ban on irreversible transgender procedures for minors.

The mostly conservative justices stood tall in this case, while Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson predictably dissented. This isn’t just Tennessee’s victory – 20 other red states that have similar bans can now breathe easier, knowing they can protect vulnerable children from these sick, experimental, life-altering procedures.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion, saying Tennessee’s law does not violate the Equal Protection Clause. It’s rooted in a very simple truth that common sense Americans get: kids cannot consent to permanent damage. The science backs this up – Norway, Finland, and the UK have all sounded alarms about the lack of evidence for so-called “gender-affirming care.” The Trump administration’s recent HHS report shredded the activist claims that these treatments help kids’ mental health. Nothing about this is “healthcare.” It is absolute harm.

The Left, the ACLU, and the Biden DOJ screamed “discrimination” and tried to twist the Constitution to force this radical ideology on our kids.

Fortunately, the Supreme Court saw through it this time. In her concurring opinion, Justice Amy Coney Barrett nailed it: gender identity is not some fixed, immutable trait like race or sex. Detransitioners are speaking out, regretting the surgeries and hormones they were rushed into as teens. WPATH – the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, the supposed experts on this, knew that kids cannot fully grasp this decision, and their own leaked documents prove that they knew it. But they pushed operations and treatments on kids anyway.

This decision is about protecting the innocent from a dangerous ideology that denies biology and reality. Tennessee’s Attorney General calls this a “landmark victory in defense of America’s children.” He’s right. This time at least, the Supreme Court refused to let judicial activism steal our kids’ futures. Now every state needs to follow Tennessee’s lead on this, and maybe the tide will continue to turn.

EXPOSED: Your tax dollars FUND Marxist riots in LA

Anadolu / Contributor | Getty Images

Protesters wore Che shirts, waved foreign flags, and chanted Marxist slogans — but corporate media still peddles the ‘spontaneous outrage’ narrative.

I sat in front of the television this weekend, watching the glittering spectacle of corporate media do what it does best: tell me not to believe my lying eyes.

According to the polished news anchors, what I was witnessing in Los Angeles was “mostly peaceful protests.” They said it with all the earnest gravitas of someone reading a bedtime story, while behind them the streets looked like a deleted scene from “Mad Max.” Federal agents dodged concrete slabs as if it were an Olympic sport. A man in a Che Guevara crop top tried to set a police car on fire. Dumpster fires lit the night sky like some sort of postapocalyptic luau.

If you suggest that violent criminals should be deported or imprisoned, you’re painted as the extremist.

But sure, it was peaceful. Tear gas clouds and Molotov cocktails are apparently the incense and candles of this new civic religion.

The media expects us to play along — to nod solemnly while cities burn and to call it “activism.”

Let’s call this what it is: delusion.

Another ‘peaceful’ riot

If the Titanic “mostly floated” and the Hindenburg “mostly flew,” then yes, the latest L.A. riots are “mostly peaceful.” But history tends to care about those tiny details at the end — like icebergs and explosions.

The coverage was full of phrases like “spontaneous,” “grassroots,” and “organic,” as if these protests materialized from thin air. But many of the signs and banners looked like they’d been run off at ComradesKinkos.com — crisp print jobs with slogans promoting socialism, communism, and various anti-American regimes. Palestinian flags waved beside banners from Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba, and El Salvador. It was like someone looted a United Nations souvenir shop and turned it into a revolution starter pack.

And guess who funded it? You did.

According to at least one report, much of this so-called spontaneous rage fest was paid for with your tax dollars. Tens of millions of dollars from the Biden administration ensured your paycheck funded Trotsky cosplayers chucking firebombs at local coffee shops.

The same aging radicals from the 1970s — now armed with tenure, pensions, and book deals — are cheering from the sidelines, waxing poetic about how burning a squad car is “liberation.” These are the same folks who once wore tie-dye and flew to help guerrilla fighters and now applaud chaos under the banner of “progress.”

This is not progress. It is not protest. It’s certainly not justice or peace.

It’s an attempt to dismantle the American system — and if you dare say that out loud, you’re labeled a bigot, a fascist, or, worst of all, someone who notices reality.

And what sparked this taxpayer-funded riot? Enforcement against illegal immigrants — many of whom, according to official arrest records, are repeat violent offenders. These are not the “dreamers” or the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. These are criminals with long, violent rap sheets — allowed to remain free by a broken system that prioritizes ideology over public safety.

This is what people are rioting over — not the mistreatment of the innocent, but the arrest of the guilty. And in California, that’s apparently a cause for outrage.

The average American, according to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, is supposed to worry they’ll be next. But unless you’re in the habit of assaulting people, smuggling, or firing guns into people’s homes, you probably don’t have much to fear.

Still, if you suggest that violent criminals should be deported or imprisoned, you’re painted as the extremist.

The left has lost it

This is what happens when a culture loses its grip on reality. We begin to call arson “art,” lawlessness “liberation,” and criminals “community members.” We burn the good and excuse the evil — all while the media insists it’s just “vibes.”

But it’s not just vibes. It’s violence, paid for by you, endorsed by your elected officials, and whitewashed by newsrooms with more concern for hair and lighting than for truth.

This isn’t activism. This is anarchism. And Democratic politicians are fueling the flame.
