Marco Rubio: A war against domestic terrorism

Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a powerful public declaration against domestic political terrorism in front of an international audience Thursday in Washington, D.C.

His concept of terrorism got at the heart of what fuels it: radical progressive leftism.

As he put it, radical leftism is “a poisonous resentment cloaked in the language of equality and justice.”

British Columbia Moves to Seize White Rock and Surrey Homes From Alleged Cartel Trucking Broker Ravinder Dhanda, Days After U.S. Indictment Named Him a Corridor Kingpin

The Long History of Muslim Enslavement of European Women

The Long History of Muslim Enslavement of European Women

The Pakistani grooming gangs in the UK have made as many as 250,000 English girls and women into sex slaves for Muslims, with many the victims suffering long-term trauma as a result. For years the British police did not investigate these gangs, for fear of being labeled as “racists” and “Islamophobes.” But finally, there were so many outcries from parents and other relatives of these girls, and fury among politicians of the center-right, that the police had to act. Trials have been held, and so far hundreds of grooming gang members have been sent to prison. Now, Rupert Lowe, the head of the newly-founded anti-Muslim immigrant party, Restore Britain, has released a report on the rape gangs. The report details the long history of Muslim enslavement of European women.

Why television isn’t funny anymore

Why television isn’t funny anymore

The occasion this month of the mockumentary The Office celebrating the 25th anniversary of its first appearance on television, an anniversary marked by a couple of actual documentaries, will have prompted some to revisit the comedy, or watch it for the first time.

Many who have done so will have inevitably asked themselves the same question: why did television comedy used to be so funny, and why is that not the case anymore? It’s not a conclusion that will be confined to us old timers: it’s said that there is vogue for all things turn-of-the-millennium among generations Y and Z.

Michael Higgins: There’s no justice in jailing people for residential school ‘denialism’

Michael Higgins: There’s no justice in jailing people for residential school ‘denialism’

Five years after the Kamloops “graves” controversy first erupted, and with zero bodies discovered, First Nations chiefs are pushing hard to make residential school denialism an imprisonable offence.

But Canadians should not have to face up to two years in jail for denying what the chiefs describe as their “truth.” Are we only to speak about the horrors of residential schools, or will survivors with “warm memories” face prison?

Denmark will ban burkas in schools and universities under plans to tackle ‘parallel societies’

Denmark will ban burkas in schools and universities as part of a plan to tackle what it calls ‘parallel societies’.

In Denmark, the term ‘parallel societies’ refers to residential areas where more than half of inhabitants are from an immigrant background.

Fundraiser launched for slap-happy ‘Maple Leaf Menace’ amid deportation threats

From Gavroche to Hamza: France’s Crisis of Authority

From Gavroche to Hamza: France’s Crisis of Authority

There was a time when the fate of Paris was inextricably linked to that of Gavroche, the street urchin imagined by Victor Hugo in his masterpiece Les Misérables–mischievous, irreverent, yet driven by an instinctive generosity that made him a paradoxical embodiment of the French people. The popular hero of our time is a certain Hamza, a slightly plump teenager who walks about bare-chested and sprays passers-by with a water pistol, demands a ‘toll’ from them to cross the Canal Saint-Martin–a branch of the Seine in the north-east of the capital–insults women with obscene vulgarity, provokes the police, films each of his provocations and turns his own delinquency into a daily soap opera on TikTok.

Despite that, a Nanos-Bloomberg poll showed most Canadians are satisfied with Carney’s performance on the economy.

Seattle of course …

Seattle of course …

Seattle residents may no longer have to watch people engaging in lewd sexual conduct in Denny Blaine Park for All after a judge ruled that it constituted a public nuisance that substantially interfered with neighboring homeowners’ use of their properties.
