One of the virtues of being a mentally healthy person in an honest society is that you don’t have to deal with cognitive dissonance. That is, there are no moments when you are forced to accept two entirely conflicting facts or values. Instead, you have the mental freedom to work through the conflict and come out with an honest evaluation.
The Muslim Slaughter of Christians
Democratic Republic of Congo: The beheaded corpses of seventy Christians—men, women, and children—were found inside a church. Earlier, on Feb. 12, Muslim militants of the Allied Democratic Forces, which is affiliated to the Islamic State, rounded up and marched 70 Christians to a Protestant church in Kasanga. There, the Christians were “tied up and decapitated with knives.” According to a regional expert,
“This was not just an act of terror. It was a targeted massacre of Christians, and it will not stop here… The ADF is part of a growing extremist network that wants to wipe out Christianity in the region. If nothing is done, more attacks will follow.”
“We don’t know,” local church elder said, “what to do or how to pray; we’ve had enough of massacres. May God’s will alone be done.”
The same Muslim militants slaughtered another 355 Christians “for their faith” in 2024.
MAGA foreign policy is driven by a haunting sense of America’s vulnerability and decline.
US president Donald Trump’s MAGA brand of foreign policy has been treated with contempt and consternation by much of the world. He has incited the ire of neoliberal theorists like Francis Fukuyama, as well as many European intellectuals, who rarely have much positive to say about America anyway. To them, Trump epitomises a destructive American arrogance and imperial delusions.
Britain’s got a problem, and it’s not the one the chattering classes are bleating about. It’s not climate change, pronouns, or gaslighting Netflix series probing what’s gone wrong with boys. No, the real crisis is a hole in the nation’s heart—a gaping wound where loyalty, pride, and (dare one say it) the willingness to defend this Sceptred Isle used to reside. The white working-class lads who once formed the backbone of Britain have had enough. Derided, scorned, and blamed for every ill under the sun, they’re no longer signing up to die for a country that’s made it clear it doesn’t want them. And who can blame them?
Former Defence Secretary Lord Hammond—hardly a rabble-rouser—sounded the alarm in The Telegraph earlier this month. “Young men are unprepared to fight for Britain,” he warned. He’s got a point. Back in 2015, a Gallup poll found just 27% of Brits would willingly take up arms for their country—one of the lowest figures in Europe. That was a decade ago, mind you. Today, you’d be lucky to find a lad from Bolton or Barnsley willing to take a bow for King and Country, let alone a bullet.
OTTAWA — Pierre Poilievre would not contest Quebec’s controversial French-language law in a Supreme Court challenge if the Conservatives form government, he said Saturday, as he declared “provinces have the right to make their own laws.”
Poilievre’s announcement came the same day his path to power narrowed as NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh ruled out propping up a Conservative government in a minority Parliament, but left open the prospect of supporting Mark Carney’s Liberals.
Singh’s position means Poilievre would now likely have to seek an alliance with the separatist Bloc Québécois should the Conservatives win the most seats in the election but fail to form a majority government.
A Labour MP for a city plagued with bin strikes and piled high with rubbish has backed calls for a new airport to be built in Kashmir.
Tahir Ali, the MP for Birmingham, has come under fire for supporting a campaign for the new airport in another country.
He took to social media to voice his support for the project in the district of Mirpur, which is within the disputed Kashmir region administered by Pakistan.
Britain’s elites love their fellow citizens like ours love us.
With finite housing and overstretched public services, the government’s ‘cack-handed’ border policies have triggered a wave of public anger
Driving through Dublin in his taxi, Gavin Pepper gestures down a stretch of pavement. “You wouldn’t go there at night,” he says. “There’s gangs of foreign men hanging around all over the city. You don’t see many Irish people walking there any more.”
It’s the sort of forthright remark that tends to stay in a cabbie’s front seat. But Pepper no longer speaks only as a taxi driver. He’s now a councillor for Finglas, a working-class district of north Dublin, elected on a wave of public anger over migration.
He says his election was driven by a migration policy handed down from on high – imposed, as he puts it, by Ireland’s political elite on poorer communities with no say in the matter. “You’re punching a wall that won’t break,” he says. “They have all the money, all the power, all the NGOs.”
We have the same evil pricks in Canada.

Germany’s once-firm stance against Russian gas imports is beginning to unravel as the country considers restarting the sabotaged Nord Stream pipelines.
Not because it wants to.
As the 2025 federal election campaign begins its second week, U.S. President Donald Trump and another round of tariffs expected on April 2 could again sidetrack most of Canada’s political discourse.
But making almost as much noise thus far have been the growing grumbles out of Conservative circles about Leader Pierre Poilievre’s messaging and polls that now have him trailing the Liberals and Leader Mark Carney.
The Trump administration is ramping up efforts to hold sanctuary cities accountable, preparing to withhold federal funds from municipalities that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration laws. This bold move signals a firm stance against local governments that prioritize illegal immigration over the safety and security of their communities. By cutting off funding, the administration aims to communicate that cities that flout federal immigration policies will not be subsidized at taxpayers’ expense. This action is a significant step in the Trump administration’s ongoing battle to enforce immigration laws and uphold the rule of law nationwide.
A dark hand is behind the import of incompatible cultures. Our biggest threat comes from within not from Trump. God forbid Carney's advisor Wiseman has his way. I did my time in the streets protesting Islam's incursion. It was all for naught.

As we come to the end of the first week of this high‐stakes, highly consequential Canadian general election campaign, many Conservative supporters—and a fair number of commentators—have been urging Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative Party to dramatically pivot.
Their argument is straightforward: with Donald Trump ramping up threats against Canada, it seems logical for the Conservatives to seize the moment, confront Trump head‐on, and persuade anxious voters that they are best positioned to stand up for Canada. Yet when you examine the data closely, it becomes clear that such a pivot is likely not the smart strategic choice. Campaigns, especially in their early stages, are about establishing a path to victory, and in this case, shifting the focus to Trump could, in fact, undermine the Conservatives’ remaining paths to victory.
I just learned that there are no safe white men on social media and now I am quivering in fear.

I bet he beats his girlfriend.
The Liberal campaign in 2025 looks a lot like a bullfight — and the Canadian people are the raging bull.
The party really wants you to focus on its new matador, dressed in his shiny central banker suit, waving around his little red scarf. Except the scarf isn’t red, it’s orange. And it’s emblazoned with Donald Trump’s hate-inducing face.
