The Senate confirmed Kevin Warsh as the next Fed chair Wednesday in a 51-45 vote, capping a five-month fight that ended only after the DOJ dropped its criminal investigation of outgoing Chair Jerome Powell.
That's the story that ran on every wire today. Read the story that didn't.... here.

I couldn’t care less about the King’s Speech, Kier Starmer’s fate, or who takes over the helm in No 10 next. It’s low theatre at this point because none of them can, or show any sign of wishing, to steer the ship away from violent collision with reality.
Britain was decisively and obviously off course from anything functionally democratic or economically viable long before Gordon Brown snuck the Lisbon Treaty through Parliament in the dead of night.
By then the rot was already advanced, but that act of constitutional sleight-of-hand crystallised it: sovereignty quietly auctioned off to Brussels while the public was told to look the other way.
The 2008 crash slammed a lid on real wage growth for anyone not already in the asset-owning class; the military, hollowed out by endless expeditionary wars and procurement disasters, was in a shit state fifteen years ago and has only atrophied further.
By 2012 the writing was on the wall with mass migration—its demographic, cultural and economic effects plain to anyone not paid to ignore them.
Police quality has been systematically trashed by Theresa May’s reforms and the deliberate evisceration of Special Branch, turning what was once a recognisably British constabulary into something closer to a politically compliant and social-work bureaucracy, parts of which played a vile and still unpunished role in the rape gangs
The 2016 Brexit referendum was not some xenophobic spasm; it was a national demand for a government that would finally put the interests of the people of these islands first.
Instead the political establishment and the permanent bureaucracy launched a decade-long campaign of sabotage and rearguard action, determined that nothing fundamental would change.
Keir Starmer is not a good man and he is certainly not a good Prime Minister, but the brutal truth is that none of them will be better. The system cannot fix itself. It is too incompetent, too captured, and too corrupt.
The local election results last week confirmed precisely the political and social dynamics I have been diagnosing for years.
Voters in traditional Labour and Conservative heartlands delivered a stinging rebuke to the establishment parties that presided over high migration, cultural displacement and stagnant living standards.
Reform UK became the vehicle for native discontent, its gains in working-class northern and Midlands seats signalling exactly the cross-class, regional backlash I have described: a tripartite divide between those who still believe in the nation and those who do not.
Polarisation, fragmentation, the splintering of the old two-party cartel, all of it illustrates the breakdown of democratic consent and the rise of identity-driven politics that are the classic preconditions for deeper conflict.
One could pretend this is healthy democratic pressure relief. It is not. Electoral revolt is an early symptom, not a cure.
The structural drivers, including mass migration, elite refusal to acknowledge cultural incompatibility, economic decline, are too deeply embedded for conventional politics to address.
Reform may win seats, but the unelected bureaucracy, the courts, the media and the NGOs will obstruct, delay and dilute any real change.
The establishment’s preferred candidate is now the one-time “controlled opposition” because the system is that desperate. Meanwhile the problems metastasise faster than any promised reform can catch up.
Hard to get excited, then, about whatever announcements limp out of the King’s Speech. They will not survive contact with reality if we ever get an actually British government staffed by competent, responsible people accountable to the country and to duty rather than to supranational ideology or personal advancement. If we do not get that government, the country will not survive in any recognisable form......... https://x.com/DavidBe31099196/status/2054949709102379501

Again the question - why are Brits meekly accepting this? Where is the justified Rage? A White male was hunted down and stabbed by a foreigner, but the police handcuffed him and left him to bleed out and die because the Indian cried "racism"......... https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-15818111/Sikh-man-stabbed-18-year-old-university-student-death-eight-inch-ceremonial-knife-claiming-hed-racially-abused-court-hears

🇬🇧⚡- British university student, Henry Nowak, was walking home when he was stabbed at random by a Sikh named Vikrum Digwa, wielding a Sikh ceremonial sword, which is specially permitted in Britain due to religious exemption laws.
Digwa then “aggressively chased” Nowak, leaving a trail of blood, as Nowak looked to flee over a fence. Astoundingly, when Southampton police arrived, they arrested Nowak after Digwa alleged he was racially abused. Shortly after, in police custody, Nowak fell unconscious and died due to his wounds.
The trial is currently underway with Digwa pleading not guilty, and his mother is also on trial for helping cover up the murder.

What's going on in Britain is being noticed across the World. This from an American podcaster: ....." British student Henry Nowak gets randomly stabbed by a Sikh guy with a legally permitted ceremonial sword.
Cops arrived, the attacker claimed “racial abuse,” so they arrest the bleeding victim.
Nowak died in custody.
When this nightmare in the UK ends, save the names and faces of all the officers who helped perpetrate this mess.
They should be held accountable for ALL the harm they helped to create......." https://x.com/MarioNawfal/status/2055010019666755963
