Mississippi’s Midterm Upset Proves That Demographics Matter Now More Than Ever

Mississippi’s Midterm Upset Proves That Demographics Matter Now More Than Ever

Tuesday night saw a lot of upsets for Republicans. Usual Republican stalwarts like South Carolina and Texas went blue. Democrats strengthened their grip on North Carolina, and they dragged Iowa and Ohio back into purple state territory. But while those races garnered national attention before Election Day, the most surprising upset of the night flew completely under just about everyone’s radar.

The Maccabi Tel Aviv scandal: when Islamic sectarians took over

The Maccabi Tel Aviv scandal: when Islamic sectarians took over

One recent date in particular should be seared into the minds of future historians. That date is 6 November 2025, the moment that the UK completed its slow mutation from a tolerant democracy into an ugly patchwork of sectarian fiefdoms. It was the day that Birmingham hosted a football match from which Jewish Israelis were explicitly banned because the city’s Muslim population demanded it.

Conservatives accuse Carney of hiding record immigration numbers

Conservatives accuse Carney of hiding record immigration numbers

OTTAWA — Conservative immigration critic Michelle Rempel Garner accused Prime Minister Mark Carney on Friday of concealing plans that could allow as many as 654,000 people to obtain permanent residency in Canada next year, well above the government’s official target of 380,000.

In a statement released a day after the Liberals tabled their 2026 federal budget, Rempel Garner said the government’s immigration plan contains additional measures that could push admissions beyond the previous record of roughly 484,000 set in 2024.

Antifa, Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR are now considered terrorists in Florida. Here’s what happens next

Antifa, Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR are now considered terrorists in Florida. Here’s what happens next

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Months after Gov. Ron DeSantis labeled three groups in Florida as “terrorist organizations,” those designations have now become officially effective.

The designations stem in part from a state law that was approved earlier this year, which allows the state to designate terrorist organizations based on certain factors.

Shortly after the law took effect, DeSantis announced that he would impose the terrorist designation on:

  • Antifa
  • The Muslim Brotherhood
  • The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement announced the designations had officially taken effect on Thursday, meaning these three groups will now be treated as “domestic terrorist organizations.”

Democrats are planning to end the trade war, even with Trump’s veto looming

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Within hours of his party winning majorities in both chambers of the U.S. Congress this week, a leading Democrat made it clear that his colleagues intend to use control of the Senate Finance Committee in the next Congress to pursue affordability for Americans and accountability.

That could be good news for Canadians looking for an end to the trade war with the U.S.

MAGA Cries ‘Pence 2.0’ as Vance Breaks Ranks on Iran after Midterm Disaster

MAGA Cries ‘Pence 2.0’ as Vance Breaks Ranks on Iran after Midterm Disaster

Tuesday’s devastating midterm defeat has brought long-simmering Republican divisions into the open, with Vice President JD Vance distancing himself from Donald Trump’s Iran war after Democrats seized both chambers of Congress. The intervention has also intensified the emerging struggle over Trump’s political succession in 2028.

According to Fox News Digital, White House officials met on Wednesday, 4 November, to coordinate post-election messaging, one source said, while another described it as a routine meeting. Afterwards, Vance published a lengthy statement on X squarely blaming the war for the Republican wipeout.

Would you raise your kids where you grew up?

Would you raise your kids where you grew up?

A century ago, almost every child lived where their ancestors did. They were born into large families who inhabited the same homes, streets, and towns for generations. Relatives, neighbors, and churches were integral parts of their social lives. In this tight-knit high-trust society, they would find spouses in the local community and repeat the cycle of life with their own children.

Hockey’s streaming spree means there’s one fewer thing holding Canada together

Hockey’s streaming spree means there’s one fewer thing holding Canada together

The Oilers lost to the Detroit Red Wings on 26 October, but Edmonton captain Connor McDavid got an assist anyway. He’s been doing that a lot lately. Just 16 games into the year, McDavid has 31 assists. It’s the fastest anyone has ever hit that milestone in any NHL season. But on that night in late October, many fans in Edmonton were unable to see McDavid’s feats – including patrons of a local bar – because it was one of nine Oilers games this season that are only available via a subscription to a premium streaming service.

The MAGA Movement Forgot What Populism Is

The MAGA Movement Forgot What Populism Is

Tuesday’s election wasn’t a blue wave or even a blue tsunami: It was a blue apocalypse.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.), who leads the one notable bright spot on the map, referred to the wipeout as “close to an extinction-level event” for the GOP. It was the worst midterm defeat for one party in over a half-century.

Much of the postmortem conversation has focused on why this massacre happened. Was it the Iran war? Was it the tariffs? Was it corruption? Was it the “Epstein files” mess?
