The BBC Fcuked Up - Trump Demand $1 billion damages

Donald Trump has threatened to sue the BBC for one billion dollars over a defamation claim,leading to a major crisis at the British broadcaster. In this video, we break down the details of the lawsuit, the edited Panorama episode involving Trump's January 6th speech, and the shocking resignations of BBC Director-General Tim Davie and news head Deborah Turness.

This legal battle is more than just a lawsuit; it's a reckoning for the BBC's impartiality. We analyze Trump's reaction on Truth Social, the BBC's "error of judgement" defense, and the political fallout involving Nigel Farage and the UK government. With public trust crumbling, could this be the end of the BBC as we know it?

Agenda: To Breed White Western Population Out of Existence By Any Measure

This week, on September 13, in Central London, a march titled The Free Speech Festival will commence at Stamford Street and end at Whitehall, followed by speeches featuring British media personalities, commentators and right-wing public figures calling for the end of the Islamization of Europe.


What has sparked this pervasive social upheaval? The Daily Telegraph recently reported that one million people in the U.K. don’t speak English. For fully half the school children in England, English is not their primary language. White children are a minority in one of every four schools and make up less than two percent of the students in nearly 500 schools.

Integration appears hopeless. There are 150 Sharia courts throughout the country. Why speak the Queen’s language if a caliphate is just around the corner?

U.K. cities such as London, Sheffield, Birmingham and Luton not only have Muslim mayors, but Muslim city councils.

There is a widespread feeling that European culture—an entire way of life—is disappearing. And the decision to undergo this change was made by leftist elites without the public’s consent.

All of Europe is looking inward. Sweden’s white population will be the minority by 2040. In its most recent census, fewer than 40 percent of the population in the U.K. self-identified as Christian. Before too long, open borders and fanatical multiculturalism will leave Europe with Muslim majorities and buyer’s remorse.

Who knows whether this backlash would have taken hold without rising crime. Europeans are sickened by an epidemic of gangraping Muslim men, called “grooming gangs,” who believe the Koran grants them carte blanche privileges to rape infidel women—in broad daylight! This has happened to thousands of white women in the U.K. and across the continent. There is also gang violence, acid attacks, car rammings, and public stabbings.

When and if apprehended, these assailants are soon released or given light sentences. Why? Well, judges, apparently, attribute these heinous crimes to “cultural differences.” Sometimes courts blame 12-year-old girls for seducing Muslim men! Anything to avoid charges of Islamophobia and antagonizing wrathful, maniacal Muslims.

Talk about moral relativism on crack.

Church fires are on the rise, too. This year alone:150 in the U.K., 68 in Canada, 60 in Germany. Over 1,000 churches in France have been vandalized.

Take a guess who the arsonists are. It’s not the Jews. It’s those with an open contempt for infidels and apostates. The same people who established Sharia patrols to supervise un-Islamic behavior—hassling European women for their dress and homosexuals for their mere existence.

And if you complain about it, criticize Islam, look at the Koran the wrong way, or offer a contrary opinion about the virtues of diversity, you can end up in jail for hate speech. That’s why this Saturday’s U.K. rally is called The Free Speech Festival.

But what about accusations of Islamophobia, which seem to shut down all honest conversations about Islam’s intolerance for the West? The word is mostly defined as an irrational hatred. The hatred of Muslims is irrational and flatly wrong. If it results in discrimination, it is also patently illegal. But the fear of Islam is not irrational; it is real. And fear is the more common understanding of a “phobia.”

Look around the world. Where do we see beheadings and dismemberments, suicide bombings, lashing of women, teaching children to slit throats, the hanging of homosexuals?

Antisemites scream genocide against Israel and placate Palestinians because, among other reasons, they are terrified to confront the easily provocable violence that lurks much closer to home.

Is the United States far behind? There are calls to prayer in the middle of the street in Philadelphia. A female Islamic professor from Minnesota just called for the dismantling of the United States.

Dearborn, Michigan, where most of the population is Muslim; Patterson, Prospect Park, and Montgomery, New Jersey; Bell, California—all have Muslim mayors and nearly all-Muslim city councils.

Not even one condemned what Hamas and Gazan civilians did on October 7, 2023. Nor have any called for the release of the Israeli and American hostages.

Oh, have I mentioned that New York City, home to the largest population of Jews in the United States, is about to elect a Muslim mayor who believes that “Globalize the Intifada!” is not a rallying cry for jihad, but a harmless gesture of support?

Status of Europe, China, Nato and Ukraine. The Cost is Too High!

Left-wing former German chancellor Angela Merkel once inanely said of massive illegal influxes into Europe, "Wir schaffen das" ("We can do this").

But, of course, Merkel could not.

She offered zero plans on how to integrate, assimilate, and acculturate millions of Europe's illegal aliens. Now, some 15 percent of Germany's population are foreign nationals.

Unfortunately, the statist economies of high-cost Europe are stagnating.

Massive welfare outlays, coupled with a shrinking and aging native population -- with a birth rate sinking below 1.4 -- are finally slowing economic growth.

Current German Chancellor Friedrich Merz put the dilemma bluntly: "The welfare state as we have it today can no longer be financed with what we can economically afford."

Yet the more socialism ossifies, the more popular culture still demands free benefits that a shrinking number of taxpayers can no longer provide.

The United States is finally taking the opposite approach of cracking down on illegal immigration, deregulating the economy, and unleashing high technology to fast-track new frontiers of artificial intelligence, robotics, cryptocurrency, and genetic engineering.

Often, Europe's best and brightest -- and frustrated -- are migrating to greater opportunities and freedom in the U.S., further hampering European research and development.

Europe foolishly adopted a self-defeating energy policy to achieve net-zero emissions by subsidizing inefficient wind and solar power while ignoring or shutting down far cheaper natural gas, nuclear, and coal-powered electrical generation.

Meanwhile, China, grinning like a Cheshire cat and caring little about its carbon footprint, is eagerly exporting wind and solar systems to the suicidal West.

Yet China itself is busy building about two massive coal-fired plants a month, and the largest and most environmentally disruptive hydroelectric projects in the world.

No wonder average European electricity costs are even steeper than those in failing California. European consumers often cannot afford to turn their heaters and air conditioners on, while businesses cannot compete with industries abroad that enjoy far cheaper power.

Trump has declared that the 80-year postwar order is calcified and that the U.S. will no longer run huge trading deficits with European Union nations. Instead, it will demand symmetrical tariffs, further challenging past European mercantile profitability.

The days of Europe disarming and relying on the United States for defense are also over, given that Russian leader Vladimir Putin, for the third time in 15 years, invaded a neighboring country.

Yet Ukraine is not Chechnya or Georgia, but instead on the doorstep of Europe.

So in panic, a perennially delinquent NATO is not only promising to spend the required 2 percent of GDP on defense but also increasing arms budgets to 5% of GDP, a higher rate even than that of the U.S.

No one knows how Europeans will afford such massive rearmament.

To do so would require opening up their economies, adopting far more flexible and traditional energy policies, securing their borders, ending illegal immigration, pruning the welfare state, increasing their fertility rates, and dropping the DEI salad bowl while re-embracing the melting pot of integration and acculturation.

We will soon see whether Europeans can adopt such needed reforms, or find the necessary medicine worse than their current crippling continental disease.

Trump Needed in Chicago Now! Stop the Bloodshed and Crime.

Bring Trump's proven DC crime-fighting manpower to Chicago—stop the bloodshed now!

Chicagoans are in crisis—plagued by skyrocketing violent crime, with over 500 homicides in 2024 alone, leaving families terrified and neighborhoods in ruins.

All Illinoisans deserve a safe, beautiful city where children can play without fear and businesses thrive without bloodshed.

The Windy City has become a symbol of failed Democratic policies: soft-on-crime prosecutors, sanctuary status enabling chaos, and disgraceful budgeting that prioritizes everything but public safety.

It's time to call on President Donald J. Trump to make Chicago safe, just like he transformed Washington, D.C., slashing crime by 40% through federal intervention and National Guard deployment in his first term.

Stop the bloodbath now! Trump has warned, "Chicago is a disaster—it's like a war zone. We need law and order, or we'll lose our great cities forever" (Truth Social, July 15, 2025).

Why Critical Thinking Is Disappearing – The Rise of Collective Stupidity

Muslim Brotherhood to Control New York?

Muslim Brotherhood to Control New York?

Mamdani-A Brotherhood Agent Poised to Conquer

The same ideology that fueled Al Qaeda’s 9/11 attacks, devastating New York just 24 years ago, now threatens to seize America’s largest city through Mamdani—a Brotherhood scion groomed for this moment, ready to ascend the global Islamic stage. America must awaken to this calculated nightmare before it’s too late.

Nearly my entire life, I’ve battled the Muslim Brotherhood in all its insidious forms, from its devastation of my homeland, Lebanon, when I was a child, to its malignant growth into Hamas within the Palestinian community. I’ve sounded the alarm to America for years, knowing their cunning mindset, their coded rhetoric, and their chilling endgame. The barbaric October 7, 2023, attacks exposed their savage hatred for “infidels” like us, exposing their true capacity for unthinkable violence and savagery, screaming their true intentions to the entire world.

Now, the Brotherhood stands on the brink of their ultimate triumph: seizing New York City, a conquest they’ll claim as eternally Muslim, defended with fanatic zeal. The horrifying reality is that Zohran Mamdani, a son of the Brotherhood, molded for this very moment, is poised to lead this takeover.

Zohran Mamdani, a Ugandan-born Democratic Socialist and New York City mayoral candidate, has ignited a firestorm with his radical affiliations and actions, raising serious questions about his eligibility to lead America’s largest city. Having been a U.S. citizen for only six years since his naturalization in 2018, Mamdani’s rapid rise in politics, coupled with his troubling ties to extremist organizations and rhetoric, has led to calls for his citizenship revocation and deportation. Critics argue that his background and actions reveal a dangerous agenda that threatens the constitutional foundations of the United States and the economic vitality of New York City.

Zohran Mamdani, raised in a devout Muslim Communist family, was profoundly influenced by his father, Mahmood Mamdani, a scholar whose book ‘Good Muslim, Bad Muslim’ defends suicide bombers. Mahmood’s history as a Muslim Brotherhood activist, including his role in co-founding a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Muslim Student Association and the Makerere Institute of Social Research, points to a radical ideological upbringing. Zohran amplified these concerns by co-founding the Bowdoin College chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), which threatened Jewish students, occupied IVY league school buildings, and supported Hamas and the Sabbath Massacre, a group that is a direct offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. His participation in a pro-Hamas march in New York on October 8, 2023, just one day after Hamas’s brutal attack on Israel, where supporters chanted “One solution, intifada revolution” and “Globalize the Intifada,” further underscores his extremist alignment. Instead of condemning Hamas’s terrorism, Mamdani accused Israel of “genocide” by October 13, undermining U.S. foreign policy and national security.

Such actions and affiliations raise serious questions about how someone with these values was granted U.S. citizenship, casting doubt on the integrity of his naturalization process, and that of his parents for that matter!

This has prompted a concerted effort to challenge Mamdani’s citizenship. Republican Congressman Andy Ogles of Tennessee has led the charge, calling for Mamdani’s deportation and denaturalization. In a June 26, 2025, letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Ogles argued that Mamdani’s 2017 rap lyrics expressing support for the “Holy Land Five”—convicted for funneling money to Hamas—suggest undisclosed affiliations with terrorist groups during his naturalization process. “If Mr. Mamdani concealed relevant associations, that concealment may constitute a material misrepresentation sufficient to support denaturalization under federal law,” Ogles stated. He further labeled Mamdani an “antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York,” urging immediate action. The New York Young Republican Club echoed this sentiment, invoking the 1954 Communist Control Act to demand Mamdani’s citizenship revocation, stating, “The radical Zohran Mamdani cannot be allowed to destroy our beloved city of New York.”

Mamdani’s campaign, built on communist promises, is a smokescreen for a broader, destructive agenda rooted in his communist ideology and the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategy to infiltrate American politics. His anti-Trump tour across New York boroughs distracts from these concerns, exploiting anti-Trump sentiment to garner support, much like New York Attorney General Letitia James did. Yet, his opponents, including incumbent Mayor Eric Adams running as an independent, have been criticized for their lackluster response to Mamdani’s grassroots momentum. If unchecked, Mamdani’s vision could radicalize New York voters, transforming the city into not just a socialist stronghold but a symbol of global Islamic dominance, akin to the “Islamization” of cities like London.

New York City, a colossus of human ambition, its skyline a testament to dreams forged in steel and sweat, now stands at a chilling crossroads.

Motorcycle Insurance SCAM | MONOPOLY - Has to STOP!

Motorcycle Riding IS Expensive: Here's Why!

Insurance MONOPOLY.

v 2025 has been a rough year for the motorcycle industry. But why? It has been said that bikes are too pricey. That dealers charge too much. Used bikes are now out of reach and not great buys.

A LOT HAS BEEN SAID.

--

But what has NOT been said is the cost to use those motorcycles and particularly in Ontario Canada. Ontario has the absolute highest insurance fees in North America without exception. What it costs riders in other places for a year, for some riders this is the cost for one month.

In some cases for some motorcycles, the insurance company won't even insure those motorcycles.

This is the reason young motorcycle riders that have passed their motorcycle tests are forced to ride without insurance. This is really bad. But with the costs that could be $8,000 per year, what choice do they have? They have a right to ride a motorcycle in Canada.

The ALTERNATIVE for not having insurance is that if you get caught its a min. $5000 to $20,000 fine. So now you have a rebel group of riders that have no choice but to outrun police because no insurance and no money to pay for the crazy insurance fees.

BUT THE PROBLEM, is the way it is setup... for failure! Or to say, sorry but you can not ride that bike, you are too young, despite passing any tests. -- ON THE OTHER HAND... "INSURANCE COMPANIES" are running a mob-like system where they can charge whatever they want with no accountability. NONE!

Additionally, in Canada you have to buy motorcycle insurance for a entire year only. Also if you have several bikes you need to insurance each and every one at full rate. There is NO STORAGE rate or simply Fire & Theft... NO, just full coverage and thats it!

ONTARIO INSURANCE: No other place in the world has this kind of MONOPOLY on insurance!

--

Look at this example:

You lose your job and now have a problem paying the mortgage or rent. So you TRY to cancel your motorcycle insurance. But they want the rest of the one year term paid in full. Or they have a one or two month penalty for cancellation. This a a problem with no income. But now you think could I just get fire and theft in case it is stolen? No, because there is no reduced rate for putting your bike in storage. So now maybe you have to sell your motorcycle? OK, so now you have your motorcycle in your garage without insurance. And now to add insult to injury, the Dept of Transport sends you a letter saying you have to get insurance or take the plate off and when you do that you will need to get another "safety inspection" on the bike. And they are not easy.

--

SAFETY INSPECTIONS

--

So for Ontario, its not that motorcycles are expensive and that is why there is a decline on gas engine motorcycles, its because of the UNCHECKED INSURANCE MONOPOLY.

--

Are you starting to see more electric bikes? As long as they have peddles, license plates are not required and insurance is not needed. And creative riders are modify the electric output. While not a great example this only shows the irony of riding two wheeled bikes in Ontario.

--

RIDING WITHOUT INSURANCE.

Yes it is costly as we have pointed out, but did you know this. It used to be that only OPP could scan you plates from their vehicle and get your driving record and whether you have insurance. NOW all GTA police can do this and its that simple to get caught. An unmarked car behind you with a scanner telling the officer your record and if you have insurance. This is new, and it changes everything.

--

POLICE POWER:

In Ontario, when police conduct a vehicle check, they can access certain information about the vehicle and driver. They can verify the vehicle's registration, insurance status, and whether it's been involved in any infractions. They can also check the driver's license and potentially other details related to the driver, like their driving record.

Here's a more detailed breakdown: Information Police Can Access: Vehicle Information: This includes the vehicle's registration, including the registered owner and any associated information. Insurance Status: Police can verify if the vehicle has valid insurance coverage. Driver's License: They can check if the driver has a valid license and if there are any restrictions or endorsements. Driving Record: In some cases, they may be able to access information about the driver's history, like previous traffic violations. Potential Criminal Activity: If there are reasonable grounds to suspect criminal activity, police may have additional authority to search the vehicle, but this is subject to legal restrictions.

---

SUMMARY:

1. You can not ride without insurance. You will get caught and the fine is over the top outrageous. Outrunning is more expensive, more dangerous and more unlikely for success.

2. Ontario insurance companies have a MOB LIKE MONOPOLY on insurance rates. We have to fight this by sending letters to Doug Ford and our MP's

3. If you can't afford outrageous insurance rates, ride an electric bike with peddles. No license. No insurance required. Some ebikes and even scooters can go up to 80kph.

4. FREEDOM at this stage of the game in the Insurance Monopoly has dried up, but the hope is that more people will write letters and make calls to our Premier, MPs and Mayors to make the change we need.

5. You would think that forward planners would think that durring the travelling months of summer, rather than having more cars on the road, maybe the motorcycle alternative might be helpful. A point of moving forward. but this is not happening. Why? Is the insurance MONOPOLY that powerful that they have that much power over elected officials. OR is it elected officials don't ride motorcycles so they do not know. We have to let them know.

India Declines Multi Billion Dollar US Military Sale Due to Tariffs

India just paused its multi-billion-dollar weapons purchase from the US after Trump slapped a 25% tariff hike on Indian exports, citing its Russian oil deals.

Deals: Talks stalled on Stryker combat vehicles, Javelin missiles, and a $3.6B Boeing aircraft package.

Trip: Defense Minister Rajnath Singh canceled his Washington visit meant to seal the deals.

Leverage: Although, India hinted it might cut Russian oil imports if the US offers similar prices.

Denial: India’s defense ministry called reports of the freeze “false and fabricated,” but insiders say there’s “no forward movement.” So is it canceled or just paused?

Motorcycle Industry Changes for 2025 | HardRider Blog | HardRider Magazine

The motorcycle industry in 2025 is a paradox of innovation and contraction, where cutting-edge technology and customization culture coexist amid economic headwinds. While global motorcycle sales are projected to reach 63.65 million units this year, the industry is grappling with a severe downturn in key markets like the United States and Europe2. Yet, within this turbulence, a vibrant subculture of performance and custom motorcycle builders is thriving — fueled by riders who increasingly favor used bikes and aftermarket personalization over the steep price tags of new models.

The State of the Motorcycle Industry in 2025
The global motorcycle market is valued at $158.1 billion USD in 2025, with expectations to grow to $179.45 billion by 2030. Asia remains the dominant force, with India alone generating over $36.78 billion in revenue this year. Latin America is the fastest-growing region, with countries like Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia reporting double-digit growth3. Meanwhile, North America and Europe are facing steep declines due to rising interest rates, inflation, and shifting consumer priorities.

In the U.S., over 60,000 unsold motorcycles have sat in dealerships for nearly a year. Entry-level models now start near $10,000, and touring bikes often exceed $30,000, pricing out many riders. Financing costs have surged, and default rates are climbing, leading to a flood of repossessed bikes in the used market. This economic pressure has reshaped buying behavior, pushing riders toward used motorcycles and customization as a more affordable and expressive alternative.

What Riders Are Buying and Riding
Despite the broader market slump, certain models are defying the odds. Riders are gravitating toward value-packed, performance-oriented bikes that deliver excitement without breaking the bank. High-demand models in 2025 include:

Kawasaki Z650 – Over 20,000 units sold in five months; praised for its $6,100 price and 67-hp engine
Honda Rebel 1100T – A 48% sales increase, especially among touring riders and women
Suzuki V-Strom 800DE – Popular among adventure riders for its off-road capability
Indian Scout Rogue – Customization-friendly and powered by a new 1250cc engine
Harley-Davidson Nightster – Attracting younger riders with modern performance and styling
These bikes reflect a shift in rider priorities: performance, affordability, and customization potential. Riders are no longer chasing prestige — they’re chasing value and individuality

The Rise of the Performance Custom Market
The custom motorcycle market is booming, with a projected value of $7.2 billion by 2033, growing at a 6.5% CAGR6. This segment includes everything from cafรฉ racers and bobbers to full-blown performance builds. Riders are increasingly buying used motorcycles — often priced under $3,000 — and investing in aftermarket upgrades like suspension kits, exhaust systems, and engine tuning.

The motorcycle modification market, which includes both cosmetic and performance enhancements, is valued at $1.79 billion in 2025, with expectations to reach $3.49 billion by 2033. This growth is driven by:

Rising costs of new motorcycles
A desire for personalization and uniqueness
Expanding availability of aftermarket parts
Cultural influences from social media and custom bike shows
Custom builders like Roland Sands Design, Revival Cycles, and Ironwood Motorcycles are leading the charge, offering bespoke builds and kits that cater to riders who want more than what the factory offers.

New vs. Used: A Market in Transition
The divide between new and used motorcycle buyers is widening. While manufacturers push high-tech, high-cost models, many riders are opting for used bikes that offer financial freedom and emotional flexibility. A 2008 Triumph Sprint ST, for example, can be purchased for under $2,500, compared to $14,000+ for a new touring bike — and still delivers comparable performance and touring capability.

Used bikes also allow riders to ride without fear — of scratches, depreciation, or finance company penalties. This freedom is fueling a renaissance in DIY customization and grassroots performance builds.

Conclusion: A Market Redefined by Riders
In 2025, the motorcycle industry is no longer defined by manufacturers — it’s defined by riders. While OEMs struggle with unsold inventory and declining margins, the performance custom market is thriving, driven by creativity, community, and cost-consciousness. Riders are rejecting the premium price of new motorcycles in favor of used machines they can make their own.

This shift isn’t just a trend — it’s a transformation. And it’s reshaping the future of motorcycling from the ground up.
