How could the villain of the week be anyone other than Ed Miliband? The shameless politician who thinks he can save his own skin by pandering to Islamists. This week on #TheQuad on @JNS_org Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author's and are not independently verified.

Two weeks ago DHH called Nix people clowns, goblins and a cancer, and in the same breath called Nix amazing technology. Now he is building his distribution on NixOS. Criticize NixOS all you like. But packaging, security, infrastructure and review are the work, and his project is a configuration layer on top of it. He depends on the people he mocked. Welcome to NixOS, David. Understand what you are standing on.

I stand with Israel, loudly and unapologetically. Jews have a continuous presence there going back thousands of years, and the state was established by the UN in 1947; the Arab side refused partition and lost the war it started. It is the only democracy in the region, with Arab citizens in parliament and on the Supreme Court. It left Gaza in 2005 and got October 7 in return. Critics demand nothing of Hamas or Iran and obsess over the one Jewish state. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author's and are not independently verified.

Stafford's roughly $2.2M Week 1 check for the Australia game gets taxed about 57%, around $1.25M, mostly to Australia and California. He keeps about $947K. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author's and are not independently verified.

You only need the first paragraph to see how full of himself Harry is. Does he ever not complain? Does he ever not leak? Does he ever not clap back? Is he ever not insufferable? Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author's and are not independently verified.

These juror interviews are extraordinary. One juror says she wanted to vote guilty but changed her mind so that Lindsay could get the help she needs. That is not the jury's job. Another voted not guilty because the prosecution produced no character witnesses proving Clancy was a bad mother, evidence a court would not have allowed. The same juror called it a fact that Clancy viciously killed her children. Vicious means with intent. If that is a fact, the verdict was guilty. Tone rewrite only.

Harry and Meghan's reaction to the King's letter is hard to take seriously. Nobody in the royal family needs to run anything past them, and the letter only restates what the couple agreed to six years ago. They are still making demands without leverage, as if they were equals in status to the working royals. Six years on, nothing has been learned. Tone rewrite only.

I am telling you, Prince Harry is dangerously arrogant. He still hides behind the 13-year-old who walked behind his mother's coffin. He is 41. He is not a child. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author's and are not independently verified.

Media outlets: stop the shameless character assassination. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author's and are not independently verified.

Bills fans keep proving they are the most anti-Black fanbase in the NFL. Look at this. If you stand with Bills Mafia on this, you stand with racism toward Lamar. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author's and are not independently verified.

This is Boebert's punishment for standing with Massie: they are going after her son, branding him a child molester because he had sex with his 17-year-old girlfriend when he was 18. Whichever side you are on, supporting that is wrong. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author's and are not independently verified.

Reports say ABC will not renew Jimmy Kimmel after 24 years. He mocked Charlie Kirk's murder, joked about Trump being assassinated, and was suspended by the FCC. His ratings were the lowest in the slot. If this holds, ideology over comedy cost him the show. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author's and are not independently verified.

Note the time, Candace. This goes out five minutes before your show. You texted, then called the steakhouse owner today. He told you the receipt is real, that Andrew did not lie, and that Tyler did not eat there. Tonight I expect you to say we still don't know. I have the evidence to close this. Tone rewrite only.

Farage says Reform would ban balaclavas at protests. A tone-deaf reaction to effective, peaceful protests. A young working class lad who covers his face is protecting his job and his family from the mob, and worse. Farage can afford to be identified. So can I. A plumber cannot. The right to peaceful protest cannot become a privilege reserved for people wealthy enough to survive being named. Restore Britain will defend that right. Tone rewrite only.

Dear Britain, you have armed Israel's enemies for over 80 years. You used the Royal Navy to keep Holocaust survivors out of Mandatory Palestine and interned them on Cyprus. You led the Arab armies against the new State of Israel and were pushed out by Israeli arms. Today you will not even defend your own shores. Tone rewrite only.

Tom Massie lost badly as a multi-term incumbent in a deep red district and is still complaining. He was the biggest disappointment in my team in DC: a smart guy who plays dumb for clicks, a libertarian in name who used X to undermine due process. He was offered multiple briefings on the cases he keeps getting wrong and refused them. He chose clicks over the facts. Tone rewrite only.

Do you know what a midterm loss means? It means everything and everyone affiliated with Trump comes to a screeching end. They do not only fight to win; they keep a list of everyone who backed him. Elon gone. Platforms like X outlawed. Borders opened on day one. Everything taxed to the max, small business and home ownership dead. Susan Rice said it plainly: once we regain power, we go on a revenge tour and take out everyone MAGA. Believe her. This country is on the brink. This is not about what you dislike about Trump. It is about survival. Stand beside your President. My two cents. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author's and are not independently verified.

Ed Miliband was a poor Energy Secretary. He is now an even worse Foreign Secretary. Ed Miliband is an embarrassment to the UK.

How can anyone respect or trust a country that does not remove a leader as clearly unfit as Donald Trump?

They are not happy. A full timeline of how they say they were wronged has gone to a pro Sussex outlet. Their team got the letter at 1.59pm on Monday, asked at 2.19pm to discuss it before release, and at 3.11pm learned it had already gone to the media. They also note it went out before Harry's new RAVEC review, and Sussex-side voices suggest the timing was deliberate. So if his security bid fails again, he will blame the letter. Tone rewrite only.

The King has found his footing again. After years of Sussex complaints, briefings, victimhood claims and requests for special treatment, Charles appears to be saying: you wanted out? Fine. You are private citizens. Your commercial interests are yours. Your bills are yours. And the Crown is not your personal income stream.

Effectively telling Harry, Meghan and the Jamaican reparations delegation no, King Charles is finally acting like the no-nonsense Sovereign we've always wanted. Well done, Your Majesty. Tone rewrite only. Claims remain the author's and are not independently verified.

Knew it wouldn't take long for a response. Their spokesperson has said they were 'not told' in advance, but the Palace has already replied: yes they were, they just were not consulted on its contents. The Palace also said it released the letter publicly for 'transparency', meaning so there is one version of events. That will have stung.

Six years after Sandringham, the King has had to send another formal letter saying Harry and Meghan are private individuals whose office sits outside the Royal Household. If the Palace keeps explaining that people carrying royal titles do not represent the Crown, the arrangement itself needs changing: take non-working royals off the official website and stop presenting them beside those who do the job. Not as punishment. As a principle for anyone who permanently leaves the work. Royal privilege without responsibility is just privilege.

Within hours of the King's letter making clear that Harry and Meghan are not working royals and are effectively private citizens, a "friend" of the Sussexes was already responding: Harry can never really be a private citizen, as the King's son and the future King's brother, so the security issue remains. The same source called the RAVEC process "barbaric" and warned about what might happen. The Palace draws a boundary, and the reply is another security soundbite. Same script, different day.

PSA: If you boo the national anthem of ANY country, you are out of line. It doesn't matter what Trump or anyone else said to offend you. That is not Canadian. You have no excuse. You should know better.

Devolution was fought for so Kenya would not go back to the old centralised system, and it is still weak: only about 15 to 20 percent of national revenue reaches the counties. The fix is local. Vote for competent governors, senators and MCAs, attend county budget meetings and follow your county assembly. Electing crooks and then complaining online is the cycle to break. Tone rewrite only.

A Hampshire pastor filmed at the Portsmouth protest says "love thy neighbour" means "love thy near dweller", so people from 3,000 miles away do not count. Read Leviticus 19:33-34 and Deuteronomy 10:18-19: the foreigner living among you is exactly the neighbour those commands name. Redefining the word so asylum seekers fall outside it does not interpret the command. It rewrites it. Border control can be argued in good faith. This is not that argument. Tone rewrite only.
