Tea at Trianon: Trump Just Shook the United Nations With the Message Globalists Feared Most

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

Trump Just Shook the United Nations With the Message Globalists Feared Most

From Overton:

Back in 2018, when President Trump addressed the UN General Assembly for the first time, the room laughed in his face.
Today, they weren’t laughing.
Trump returned to the United Nations—and this time, he wasn’t coming to be polite. He came to put the globalists on notice.
Right out of the gate, he reminded the room that America was no longer being run by people who bowed to international pressure.
He started by touting something they never thought they’d hear on the UN floor: America’s southern border is closed.
And he said it loud and clear.
“On our southern border we have successfully repelled a colossal invasion and for the last four months, four months in a row, the number of illegal aliens admitted and entering our country has been zero.”
Then he explained why it happened and what the new policy is.
“They just poured into our country with the ridiculous open border policy of the Biden administration. Our message is very simple. If you come illegally into the United States, you are going to jail or you are going back to where you came from or perhaps even further than that.”
It wasn’t just about America. Trump turned to thank El Salvador for their help in jailing criminal aliens we’ve deported—and urged other countries to do the same.
“I want to thank the country of El Salvador for the successful and professional job they’ve done in receiving and jailing so many criminals that entered our country.”
And then he dropped a warning to every country that was listening.
“They’re all being taken out. We have no choice. Other countries have no choice because other countries are in the exact same situation with immigration.”
“It’s destroying your country and you have to do something about it.”

From Hot Air:

Today, the stage was set at the United Nations Headquarters, but not before a slight mechanical mishap occurred on the way to the General Assembly room. Inexplicably, the escalator carrying the President and First Lady came to an abrupt and potentially catastrophic - have you seen the heels Melania wears? - stop just as she stepped onto the inclined conveyor.
Brakes on, stopped.
Both Trumps looked swiftly to their right, and then Melania smoothly continued up the now converted staircase, chic and cool as ever, with the president following. (Read more.)

From It Can Always Get Worse:

The “Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory including East Jerusalem, and Israel”, nominally an investigative fact-finding body set up after the 2021 Gaza war by the amusingly named United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), put out a report on 16 September claiming to demonstrate that Israel’s response to HAMAS’s 7 October 2023 pogrom constitutes “genocide”.
I debated whether to write anything about this for two reasons. First, a few days ago I published a long article about the political warfare waged against Israel over the last two years, which discussed in some detail how the information operation to recast Israel’s defensive war in Gaza as a “genocide” developed. Analytically, there is nothing to add: this is merely the latest phase in that operation. Second, seriously engaging feels like dignifying something that on its face deserves to be treated only with derision and ridicule. However, there are still people whose ignorance about the rancid condition of the United Nations is genuine and spelling out concretely what is wrong for such blessedly innocent souls does not seem like a complete waste of time.
