Next UK Prime Minister. Yep, it’s Boris
· Today the race to replace British Prime Minister Theresa May officially came to an end when the Tories selected former London Mayor Boris Johnson as head of the Conservative Party. Tomorrow he will formerly be sworn in as Prime Minister. In the end, the vote wasn’t even close, with Johnson receiving roughly double the number of votes garnered by his primary rival, Jeremy Hunt. Given Johnson’s “colorful” personality (to put it mildly), the Brits are preparing for what will likely be a lively and interesting couple of years as they continue to wrestle with the Brexit issue. (Associated Press)
Johnson, who sometimes has an ambiguous relationship with facts, campaigned with characteristic bluster, vowing to revive the country’s “mojo” and making one main promise: Britain will leave the EU on Oct. 31, “come what may.”
He may find that promise hard to keep. The new leader heads a government with no parliamentary majority in a deeply divided country that is facing off with a mistrustful EU.
The prime minister is due to take office Wednesday in a smoothly choreographed political handover. May will travel to Buckingham Palace and ask Queen Elizabeth II to invite her Conservative successor to form a government. Johnson — or, less likely, Hunt — will speak to the nation in front of his new home at 10 Downing St. that afternoon.
Boris had campaigned on a promise to succeed where Theresa May failed, specifically getting the EU to reopen negotiations and get a better deal for them on Brexit. How he plans to do that remains a mystery, as the EU Parliament has repeatedly shot down every one of May’s offers and said that they have no plans of renegotiating at this late date. Failing to secure such a concession, the Brits will march into a No Deal Brexit on Halloween.
Johnson’s reputation for being an unusual politician is well deserved. He’s widely known for his sometimes inartful (or simply crass) jokes and he’s a walking quote machine, making his ascension great news for bloggers. Here are two of my favorites, both from a time well before he was seriously in the running for the top office.
“My chances of being PM are about as good as the chances of finding Elvis on Mars, or my being reincarnated as an olive.
“My friends, as I have discovered myself, there are no disasters, only opportunities. And, indeed, opportunities for fresh disasters.”
His speech after winning the race today was along similar lines. He was generous in his praise for both Theresa May and Jeremy Hunt and self-denigrating when referring to his victory. He noted the fact that there are people, “some who may be in this room,” who likely feel that his selection was something of a disaster, giving a comedic nod to the possibility that they might be right. I watched the entire speech and I have to admit I enjoyed it quite a bit.
If you’d like to get a feel for how the British press feels about Boris Johnson, I would point you to the latest episode of the BBC’s Friday Night Comedy series Dead Ringers. (Or really any episode from this season.) The show features voice actors impersonating all of the country’s political and social leaders and their treatment of Johnson is generally brutal. They portray the incoming PM as a schizophrenic with multiple personality disorder. There’s “the good Boris” and “the bad Boris.” The Good Boris pretends to be friendly and normal so he can win the election, but the bad Boris always bursts through, harrumphing and unleashing a string of derogatory remarks and offensive jokes.
In any event, congrats to Boris Johnson and best of luck to our friends in Great Britain. You’ve no doubt got a rocky road in front of you, but you’ll get it all sorted sooner or later.

Shocking Video: Venezuelans Talk About Suffering Under Socialism as “The Squad” Talks Lovingly About It
· The vast majority of Americans have never had to live under socialism and thank the good Lord above for that, but it has had the unintended effect of romanticizing it to various parts of our nation. This includes people in our own government, specifically the foursome known as “The Squad.”
Asking Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib both consider socialism to be one of the most fabulous things since sliced bread lines and speak lovingly of the economic system during interviews. What’s more, many in America are seduced by the promise of “equality,” and the “fairness” of “free” things for everyone.
Thanks in part to media, activists, and politicians like those in “The Squad,” socialism has come off as a solution to all of societies ills. History tells a different story. In reality, socialism is a rot that infects and then destroys countries. It’s an economic system that, once taken from paper and put into action, begins to ruin economies and kill people.
Right now, this is most notable in Venezuela, a country that should be a wealthy world power for all intents and purposes, but thanks to socialism is collapsing before our eyes. With a year round growing season and more oil reserves than an oil baron could dream of, Venezuela has everything it needs to be an economic powerhouse, but thanks to socialism its a country of riots, starvation, and disease.
The Daily Caller went to Venezuela to talk to those living under socialism, and the results were shocking. Things we take for granted in the United States are things that people in Venezuela may be killed over. You may wait in line overnight for a loaf of bread, only to get to the front of the line and find out that there isn’t anymore. You may be riding your bike down the street and get shot multiple times just so someone else can have it.
In part of the video, a man had been shot in front of the Daily Caller crew and the police just walked by.
Meanwhile, AOC, Sen. Bernie Sanders and more speak of socialism as successful in other parts of the world.

We always hear about how the socialism that failed in other countries wasn’t “true socialism” but that’s just an excuse to explain an undeniable truth. Humanity and socialism can never coexist. We aren’t made for that kind of system by nature, and forcing it on a species that can’t fit with it will only destroy it. If we can’t glean that from Venezuela, and we continue to embrace it, the United States will come to resemble Venezuela in some form or fashion.
