Some 98 percent of the 10 million residents of Hungary are ethnically Hungarian, and Hungarians speak, well, Hungarian.

Almost no one else does. So when Hungarians chattered among themselves about the April 12 general election, their EU neighbors read into the chatter what they chose.

Voters knew that 4-term prime minister Viktor Orban had exceeded his sell-by date. His government had grown stale, sclerotic, and shady around the edges. The globalists only really knew that Orban opposed illegal immigration and was a friend of Donald Trump.

For them, that was enough to open their hearts and their checkbooks. One time Orban ally, the 45-year-old Peter Magyar opposed Orban. A win for Magyar was thus a rejection of Trumpism, a triumph of good over evil, democracy over fascism, open borders over nationalism. Hoorah!

They all fell. . . . and better still, the left paid for its own humiliation,

They built the trap. Now they’re standing in it. A Virginia court blocked the Democrat’s redistricting map. The left screams “activist judge.” They built this weapon – now it’s pointed at them.

On April 22, 2026, a circuit court judge in Tazewell County, Virginia issued a ruling that sent shockwaves through the Democratic Party’s midterm strategy. Judge Jack Hurley declared all votes cast in the previous day’s redistricting referendum “ineffective” and barred state officials from certifying the results or taking any action to implement the new maps that Virginia’s Democratic-controlled legislature had passed.

The map in question was not a minor adjustment. It was gerrymandered to favor Democrats in ten out of eleven congressional districts and, if implemented, would have handed the left a structural House advantage heading into November’s midterms.

The Democratic response was immediate and predictable. Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones vowed to fight the order, declaring “Virginia voters have spoken, and an activist judge should not have veto power over the People’s vote.”

The attorney general of a state that spent years building the legal architecture for federal judicial intervention in electoral processes was now complaining that a judge had intervened in an electoral process. The irony is not subtle. It is, however, historically significant in a way that most of the coverage being produced right now is completely missing.

Chief Justice John Roberts has disappointed the right far more often than pleased them.

Nevertheless, the Chief gave the best response to the notion that ending racial discrimination requires piling minorities into a few districts so they end up being a majority.

“The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.”

(Head slap and a hearty "duh.")

On April 8, the California Assembly Committee on Public Employment and Retirement voted 19–0 to adopt AB2017, followed on April 22 by the California Assembly Committee on Appropriations, which voted 7–0 to adopt the bill.

And with those votes, all that is left for this to become California law is the passing of it by the State Assembly and Senate and approval by the governor.

And with it, the state of California will no longer exist as we know it, but will become the Islamic Republic of California.

Introduced by California Assemblyman Matt Haney (D-San Francisco 17th District) at the behest of CAIR, the bill seeks to officially recognize the Islamic holidays of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as California state holidays.

There are no holidays from other religions that are recognized as state holidays in California. Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and Epiphany are all extremely important holidays in Judaism and Christianity. But none of them are recognized as California state holidays.

But according to Haney and the California legislature, apparently, Islamic holidays are much more important to the state than either Judaism or Christianity.

This bill is clearly unconstitutional, as it is in direct contradiction to the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . .”

By placing two Islamic holidays as official state holidays, they are respecting the establishment of a specific religion.

But the problem is greater than just their violation of the Constitution in attempting to pass this bill. The holidays themselves, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, are expressions and manifestations of the very worst aspects of Islam.

Could this be the swan song for the embattled and inept Prime Minister of England?

The chance of a change at No. 10 has even earned its own tag name.

The United Kingdom, pretty much all of it, goes to the polls today.

In Scotland and Wales, they'll be electing all members of their Parliaments. In England, it will be members of the councils who run every facet of life in the cities and counties throughout the country.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer's base as titular Labour Party leader is in the commanding number of councils his party controlled as of the last election, the one that brought him to power.

That hold over the local base is seen as very much in peril today, and, in some instances, councils that have been traditionally Labour strongholds for a century or so are expected to fall to challengers from either local parties - like the Welsh Plaid Cymru - or to Nigel Farage's Reform surging movement.

Starmer's last-minute appeal to the British public to 'think of all Labour's done for you' with his requisite slap at the upstart and not socially acceptable Reform, felt a little flat and desperate.
