SLUAGH-GHAIRM! ‘Young Queen of Scots’ Trends As 14-Year-Old Lass Bravely Defies a Would-Be Predator.  

The word ‘slogan’ has an interesting etymology. It comes directly from the Scottish Gaelic term ‘Sluagh-Ghairm,’ or battle cry. Highlanders in the Middle Ages would shout their sluagh-ghairms to rally their troops into war. In the movie Braveheart, William Wallace’s sluagh-ghairm was ‘Alba gu bràth,’ or ‘Scotland Forever.’

We note this obscure bit of history because it appears that young lasses in Scotland have had just about enough of their government covering up for immigrant groomer gangs. They are shouting their sluagh-ghairms and channeling their inner William Wallace to show everyone, including would-be sexual assailants, that they’re not going to take it anymore. 

A video clip of a brave — and quite well-armed — 14-year-old girl has been trending on X because of the courage she showed in the face of a creeper. And, of course, her cowardly government arrested her, not him, for her trouble.

The smugness in his voice reveals that he has probably been protected before.  

Related: Farage has thrown down the gauntlet on illegal migration. “Whose side are our rulers on? Certainly not the side of the public, whose reasonable demands for a secure, controlled border have gone totally ignored for far too long. The elites can scream at Nigel Farage all they like, but they only have themselves to blame for leaving him a wide open goal.”

ANNALS OF LEFTIST AUTOPHAGY: Morning Joe left shocked as Chicago’s woke mayor refuses to answer simple policing question five times.

‘That’s not the question I asked!’ an exasperated Scarborough responded, before asking again whether ‘5,000 more cops’ would make Chicago safer.

Johnson replied: ‘I don’t believe that we should narrow it down to just police officers… What I’m saying, that is an antiquated approach.’

Scarborough then told the mayor he agreed that social programs were also important in combatting crime, but continued to press him.

‘Are you hearing what I’m saying?’ Scarborough asked, before repeating the question.

But Johnson went back to his default response, telling Scarborough: ‘I don’t believe that just simply putting out an arbitrary number around police officers is the answer.

‘What I’m saying is policing and affordable housing. It’s policing and mental and behavioral health care services. It’s policing and youth employment. It’s a full package.’

And: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Says Those Who Want Criminals Locked Away Are Unholy, Immoral, and Racist.

Johnson is making ‘90s-era Fox Butterfield sound like an expert in penology: “‘The Butterfield Effect’ is named in honor of ace New York Times crime reporter Fox Butterfield, the intrepid analyst responsible for such brilliantly headlined stories as ‘More Inmates, Despite Drop In Crime,’ and ‘Number in Prison Grows Despite Crime Reduction,’ not to mention the poetic 1997 header, ‘Crime Keeps on Falling, but Prisons Keep on Filling.’”

2026 PREVIEW: Mayra Flores ditches Cuellar to run against Gonzalez after Texas redistricting boosts odds. “Flores announced in April that she was running to challenge Cuellar in the 28th District after losing twice over the last few cycles to Gonzalez in the 34th District, where she briefly served as congresswoman. But Flores has changed her plans after Texas redrew its congressional maps, adding five GOP congressional seats and widening Republican margins in existing districts.”

FARAGE SETS OUT HIS MASS DEPORTATION PLAN:

In an Oxfordshire aircraft hanger this morning, Nigel Farage finally unveiled his party’s long-awaited deportations strategy. For six weeks, asylum and small boats has dominated the airwaves. Now, after a successful summer offensive, Farage laid out his plan to deal with the problems he has exploited so successfully. To stop the small boats, he is launching ‘Operation Restoring Justice’ – an initiative to enact mass deportations if Reform wins power.

A five-page document was handed out to 200 attendees. It explains how Reform will leave the ECHR and disapply the Refugee Convention for five-years if elected in 2029. A new British Bill of Rights will be introduced, with all government departments required to make the migration crisis their number one ministerial priority. Some £2 billion will be put aside to achieve this goal. Aid and sanctions will be used as ‘carrot and stick’ to ensure cooperation from other countries.

Farage’s ambition is grand and so was his setting. He stood beneath a giant Union Jack, in front of a No. 10 style lectern, to give him his status as Prime Minister in waiting. Around him were departure gate boards, all listing flights to various foreign countries. The razzmatazz and spectacle was a marked contrast with recent Tory press conferences, held in various cramped rooms across Westminster and Whitehall. Farage was joined by Zia Yusuf, the former chairman who has spent six months labouring over this document. Both men gave 15-minute speeches, followed by an extensive round of questioning from the press.

Unsurprisingly, many dwelt on the issue of illegal migrants returned to hostile regimes. Farage, echoing the line he articulated in the Times on Saturday was regretful but unapologetic about the need to deport those who come here illegally. Yusuf says that the ambition is for 600,000 people to be deported by the end of Reform’s first parliament.

Naturally, the British press don’t seem very sympathetic to the British people:

SPACE: Jupiter’s core isn’t what we thought.

It had been thought that a colossal collision with an early planet containing half of Jupiter’s core material could have mixed up the central region of the gas giant, enough to explain its interior today.

But a new study published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society suggests its make-up is actually down to how the growing planet absorbed heavy and light materials as it formed and evolved.

Unlike what scientists once expected, the core of the largest planet in our solar system doesn’t have a sharp boundary but instead gradually blends into the surrounding layers of mostly hydrogen – a structure known as a dilute core.

So not an Earth-sized diamond?
