Oxford's Motion Sickness

Original Article

In January 1933 the Oxford Union voted 275-153 to approve the motion: “That this House refuses in any circumstances to fight for King and Country.” The proposition became known as the Oxford oath. Winston Churchill was not amused. While others counseled that it be dismissed as youthful folly, he declined to ignore the proceedings at Oxford. Rather, he declared it “a very disquieting and disgusting symptom” and proceeded to explain why it troubled him (as Martin Gilbert puts it in the fifth volume of his Churchill biography, The Prophet of Truth, 1922-1939): "My mind turns across the narrow waters of [the] Channel and the North Sea, where great nations

History shows that the so-called Oxford Oath disappeared after September 3, 1939.

San Jose State volleyball player Blaire Fleming built a prosperous athletic resume en route to the epicenter of national controversy. Many of Fleming's past competitors had to settle for losses along the way. Fleming is the leader in kills for a San Jose State team that will compete in the Mountain West tournament final Saturday against Colorado State. The athlete's spiking ability has been a competitive asset and a point of outrage by critics, including President-elect Trump, amid the controversy over Fleming competing against women as a transgender athlete. But the team and coach Todd Kress have ridden the power of Fleming's spikes back to the conference final

John Morgan is a major donor to the Democrats and like many people in his party right now, he is unhappy about the way the Kamala Harris campaign burned through more than a billion dollars with little to show for it. Morgan is now claiming that he never wanted Harris to be the 2024 Democratic nominee. He also suggests that no matter what she says about future runs for office, she is finished. He recently appeared on FOX News to discuss this. Transcript via Real Clear Politics: "She can never run for president again. She ran once and got zero delegates. She got 8% of California. I begged them not to put her up.

The trans war against women’s sports continues apace. The current high-profile battleground is women’s college volleyball, where a man pretending to be a woman on the San Jose State University (SJSU) team has caused even members of his team to revolt. (X) Co-captain Brooke Slusser and Associate Head Coach Melissa Battie-Smoose have spoken out about their concerns, causing Battie-Smoose to be removed from her position and Slusser to endure intense pressure. Both have joined a lawsuit against the Mountain West Conference, hoping to prevent men from usurping women’s places on volleyball teams. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, SJSU suppression of female athlete’s concerns about the male player,

Bill Clinton already wrote and sold his memoir, the imaginatively named, My Life, written and published back in 2005, but like his wife, one memoir is never enough and so Bill has another one, Citizen, that chronicles all the exciting stuff he’s been up to for the last two decades. Hillary Clinton is on her fourth memoir (believe it or not) and Bill needs to pull his weight here. The trouble is that while Bill’s memoir 1.0 was at least justified because he was the president of the United States, he hasn’t done anything since then, unlike Hillary, who really didn’t do much, but at least is out there

The International Criminal Court (ICC), as encouraged by prosecutor Karim Khan, propagated the blood libel that Israel is attacking Palestinian civilians. Khan knows or should know that Israel has not only refrained from targeting civilians, but has taken extraordinary measures to the extent of putting its own soldiers at risk to avoid harming them. We also need to ask why South Africa has asked the International Court of Justice to prosecute Israel for genocide, another blood libel from a backward Third World country with its own long litany of human rights violations including the racist murder of Amy Biehl and the necklacing of Winnie Mandela's political opponents.

Jay Bhattacharya has been nominated by President Trump to head the National Institutes of Health. During the Covid regime, Dr. Bhattacharya was relegated to the “fringe” by the likes of former NIH head Francis Collins and his NIAID colleague Anthony “fallacious” Fauci. John Tierney observes at City Journal that Jay-B is the doctor who came in from the fringe: "Four years ago, Jay Bhattacharya was ostracized by his colleagues at Stanford and censored on social media platforms thanks to a campaign against him by the public-health establishment. The director of the National Institutes of Health, Francis Collins, sent an email to another NIH official, Anthony Fauci, urging a “quick and devastating

Several journalists of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) have resigned from the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) after the union directed its members to dress differently for a “Day of Action for Palestine.” Jewish News reported that the NUJ “distributed directives from the Trades Union Congress (TUC),” which asked members to “wear something red, green, black or a Palestinian keffiyeh,” the traditional Middle Eastern headscarf that has become a symbol of Palestinian resistance to Israel. The BBC journalists were also encouraged to share photos of their outfits online, to “visibly show solidarity” with the Palestinian cause. The move caused a backlash among some of the NUJ's journalists,

Hollywood actor-director Rob Reiner has deleted his X / Twitter account in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding victory. His exit marks the end of an era for Reiner who had spent years using the platform to spread false claims and wild accusations aimed at Trump and his supporters — including repeatedly smearing them as white nationalists. Rob Reiner’s X account, which boasted 2.3 million followers, was no longer accessible as of Thursday, with the platform returning a message that the account “doesn’t exist.” As one of Hollywood’s most reliable Democrat fundraisers and cheerleaders, Reiner used his X account to champion establishment party politicians —

California Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a list of suggestions Nov. 26 for shoppers to avoid scams during the holiday season and requested consumers file reports about department stores that lack gender-neutral children’s sections. State law, established by the passage of Assembly Bill 1084 in 2021, which took effect at the beginning of 2024, requires department stores with at least 500 employees across California locations to offer children’s sections that do not separate items based on gender. “By requiring large retailers to maintain a gender-neutral section, AB 1084 makes it more difficult for these retailers to engage in gender-based pricing discrimination and reduces the imposition of gender stereotypes on children,”

After dodging a bullet, Donald Trump was reelected president. In a larger sense, the entire nation dodged a bullet. The Democrats were soundly defeated, losing not only the presidency, but also the House and the Senate. Their sinister authoritarian, internationalist, socialist vision, with its wholehearted embrace of madness, deviance, and perversion, has been thoroughly rejected. And while it’s certainly a time for celebration, we aren’t out of the woods yet. The left hasn’t given up. In fact, aside from their wailing and hysteria over Trump’s victory, many of their leading figures have been eerily quiet, and that can mean only one thing: they’re up to something,

In a sea of redundant, woke garbage, Taylor Sheridan continues to produce shows with a refreshingly honest and fresh direction. From "Yellowstone" to "Tulsa King," he's not afraid to break the traditional mores dictated by Hollywood, and it's paid dividends with viewership. His latest endeavor, "Landman," centers on the oil industry and contrasts the lives of Texas-based tycoons and workers, and one clip is already going viral. Billy Bob Thorton, who plays "Tommy Norris" in the show, lays out the reality of wind turbines and the human need for fossil fuels in a way that will have you fist-pumping.

Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan during a recent conversation with journalist Bari Weiss made some startling revelations. Noonan calls herself a conservative and was once a speechwriter for President Ronald Reagan. But like most mainstream conservative commentators of that era, Noonan abandoned both her conservative and journalistic principles to devolve into a rabid hater of President Trump. She believed the hoaxes against President Trump, particularly the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. When she was proven wrong, instead of accepting her mistake, she claimed she didn’t “know what to thi

A Democrat state lawmaker in New York is calling for a coalition of northeast states to secede from the Union and join Canada because President-elect Donald Trump is returning to the White House. State Sen. Liz Krueger (D-28), who is also floating a scheme to withhold upwards of $300 billion in federal taxes, defended her ideas in a conversation with Politico. “It’s not unreasonable to think outside of the box,” Kreuger, chairwoman of the Senate Finance Committee, told the outlet. In September, Kreuger spoke with City and State New York.com about a four-state secession from the union if Trump won, where New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Connecticut would join Canada:

A new report has surfaced suggesting Democrats are feeling "lost and rudderless" following the election. So much so that a list of presidential contenders for 2028 includes the name Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). If nothing else, The Hill column ranking potential Democrat contenders for 2028 shows that the resistance party has little to offer on the bench when it comes to knocking off the Republicans. In fact, polls show Vice President Kamala Harris is far and away their preferred candidate. Trump shellacked her despite Harris having every conceivable advantage in the media, exposing her as a thoroughly unlikable person. But they think Harris can somehow rally in four years?

A top Democratic leader is pointing fingers at “MAGA” Republicans, accusing them of threatening Congressional Democrats on Thanksgiving— just one day after members of President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks received bomb threats on their front doors. Congressman Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) implicated that Trump supporters were hurling violent threats to Democrats with messages that included bomb threats and swatting— the practice of making prank phone calls to emergency services to bring about the dispatch of a large number of armed police officers to a particular address.

More than 165 international constitutions include gender equality, and ours should, too. In January 2020, Virginia ratified the Equal Rights Amendment, becoming the final state needed to add about 170 million women and girls to our Constitution. All constitutional requirements have been met, according to the American Bar Association. And yet. For the past four years, America has been in a constitutional crisis. In 2020, for the first time in our nation’s history, publication of a fully ratified amendment was stopped by the executive branch. Why is the ratified ERA still not added to the Constitution?

Hakeem Jeffries claimed several Connecticut Democrats received bomb threats on Thanksgiving signed “MAGA.” “Threats of violence against elected officials are unacceptable, unconscionable and have no place in a civilized society,” Hakeem Jeffries’ office said. “All perpetrators of political violence directed at any party must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.” Politico reported: The office of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries denounced Thanksgiving Day threats made against Democratic members of Congress that ranged from “detailed threats of a pipe bomb placed in mailboxes to swatting.”

He better watch out. Footage of a heated confrontation between customers apparently taken inside a Costco emerged the day before Thanksgiving — sparking online debate about naughty shopper behavior as gift-buying season gets underway. An aggravated man rammed a woman’s shopping cart with his own as he impatiently tried to push through a sea of shoppers in an aisle, according to a video a fellow customer posted on a Reddit Costco thread, which is not affiliated with the mega-chain store. Staring down the logjam, the man, who had a small dog with him, talked about people needing to get out before he went cart-to-cart with the woman, according to the video.

Bill Clinton revealed in his new memoir, “Citizen – My Life After The White House,” that he “couldn’t sleep for two years after the election” and suffered “outbursts of rage, which lasted for years” following Hillary’s 2016 loss to President Trump. “The whole thing is hard for me to write,” says Slick Willie while pushing the debunked Russia collusion hoax and blaming it for Hillary’s loss. Hillary faced similar troubles. The Gateway Pundit previously reported on Hillary Clinton’s own bursts of rage following the 2016 election. Hillary reportedly became drunk and physically violent towards Robby Mook and John Podesta around midnight on election night as the presidency was slipping away.

Kamala Harris has signaled that she may run for president again in 2028, and after the splendid campaign she ran in 2024, who could blame her? But the Candidate of Joy would be hasty if she thinks that she will rewarded with a coronation in 2028. There is likely to be a host of contenders for the Democrat nomination, each vying with the others to show how much madness, socialism, and authoritarianism he, she, or xe can promise to the American people (and the world, since the Dems so desperately want every last person on the planet to be able to vote in our elections).
