SCOTUS Case Makes Freight Brokers Responsible For Crashes Caused By Commercial Immigrant Drivers

Thirty people died in 17 semi-truck crashes caused by noncitizen commercial truck drivers in 2025, according to the Department of Transportation. That number is almost certainly an undercount. Prior to 2025, the immigration status of a commercial truck driver was mostly not recorded in crash reports, court filings, or news coverage. The national conversation focuses on the truck driver at fault for the latest accident, but rarely goes deeper. Why was this truck driver on the highways? What trucking company hired him? How are operations like this still in business?

Ancient Rome’s Benefits Doom Loop

The Roman Empire grew rich off the backs of other nations. There’s no question about that. War and conquest, but also bequests, made Rome the richest state in the ancient world by the second century BC, a time when wealth was all about gold, silver, land and food production, and slaves.

Rome was also lucky. The death of Alexander in 323 BC saw his vast empire fragment into the Hellenistic kingdoms, mainly of Macedonia, the Seleukid kingdom of Syria, and Ptolemaic Egypt. They enervated themselves over decades of inconclusive wars and were easy pickings for Rome. The people who lived there, exhausted by and sick of endless fighting, acquiesced easily into Roman rule. The Eastern Mediterranean grew richer than had ever been thought possible.

Greenland now: US control or not?

In the global competition for natural resources, the United States is still seeking to increase its influence in Greenland. For months, President Donald Trump kept up the pressure on the island, culminating last January when he declared there was “no going back” in his quest to obtain the territory. He also gave journalists the headline they were looking for when he declined to rule out clearly the use of military force. Trump dialled back his rhetoric at the World Economic Forum in Davos, after strong pushback from European countries – led by the “former” colonial power Denmark – and unease from domestic allies over his language.

The Red-Pilling of John Cleese

In 1979, comedian icon John Cleese sat across from the Bishop of Southwark and broadcaster Malcolm Muggeridge on BBC’s Friday Night, Saturday Morning, defending his troupe’s film Monty Python’s Life of Brian against charges of blasphemy. Calm, articulate, and fiercely secular, Cleese argued that religious institutions should never be immune to satire, ridicule, or robust critique. For many years, this battle often defined Cleese’s public persona: a classic British liberal, an iconoclast fighting back against the conservative Christian establishment of the 20th century.

Ontario doctor cautioned over MAID complaints can continue practice under supervision, regulator rules

An Ontario doctor has been placed under supervision by the provincial physicians regulator after an investigation into his MAID practice found that he crossed professional boundaries and failed to adhere to protocols – including in one case where inadequate medication caused a patient to resume breathing after the doctor pronounced him dead and left.

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario reviewed two complaints against Dr. James MacLean relating to two 2024 medical assistance in dying cases and conducted a broader probe into his general medical practice that included a review of his charts.

An Eruption Of Vibrant Diversity …

Armed with hockey sticks and baseball bats, the mob surged forward one by one – baying for blood.

Footage shows their victim, 39-year-old Shamus Hussain, buckling under the weight of the first blow. Out of view of the camera, he was savagely beaten before being stabbed twice in the back, inflicting fatal injuries.

The sickening mob killing unfolded on the evening of July 12 last year at Crow Nest Park in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire – which had been busy with locals enjoying warm summer weather.

Joe Varner: China doesn’t even have to pressure Canada to keep Liberals in line

Remarks from Conservative MP Michael Chong on his recent Taiwan visit should not have required saying.

“Canada is an independent, sovereign country. We do not take direction from foreign governments on where MPs can travel internationally,” stated Chong on May 17, a day prior to his departure.

Dorset Asylum Seekers 9,000% More Likely To Commit Sexual or Violent Crime

Official statistics have shown that asylum seekers in one English county are approximately 9,000% more likely to commit sexual or violent offences than their share of the local population would indicate, as protests against asylum accommodation—some turning violent—have intensified across Europe in the last week.

British Home Office asylum support data for the end of September 2025 recorded 618 asylum seekers in the Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole council area, where most asylum accommodation is concentrated. With Dorset’s total population at approximately 800,000 to 820,000, and no asylum hotels recorded in the rest of the county, this equates to roughly 0.08% of the local population.

‘The Great Escape’ and Islam

In honor of Memorial Day, I convinced my teenage sons to watch the classic 1963 film, The Great Escape, starring Steve McQueen, James Garner, Richard Attenborough, Charles Bronson, and a slew of other stars of the time. A great movie, but watching it also pointed out some other sad and dangerous truths that we should remember not only on this Memorial Day as we remember America’s fallen soldiers, but at all times during the challenging days in which we live.

Carney warns that push for Alberta separatism referendum could be ‘dangerous bluff’

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney warned that Alberta separatists who think a referendum will provide the province more leverage are risking a “very dangerous bluff” and argued that it is “not helpful” to ask people to vote over secession.

Speaking to reporters from a residential construction site in Ottawa, Carney had a stark warning for Albertans ahead of Smith’s referendum question on provincial sovereignty in the fall: be wary of what you’re voting for.

The Laugh’s on Hollywood

The long whimpering finish of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last week confirmed a sad truth. Hollywood killed comedy. A century of laughter provoked by comic geniuses — Chaplin, Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, the Marx Brothers, Fields, Hope, Brooks, Martin, Carrey, and Saturday Night Live alumni (Belushi, Aykroyd, Murray, Murphy, Sandler, Ferrell, Myers, Stiller) ended in the first decade of this one. Mirth has either been missing from the screen since 2010 or reduced to conservative man-bashing, as on every late-night show. The latter is questionably rewarded by “clapter,” the former depends on mocking the now unmockable — to Hollywoke if not the audience.

She Exposed Beijing’s Secret Police. Now Its AI Porn Deepfakes Smear Her — as Ottawa Signs a Pact With the Same Chinese Ministry

OTTAWA — Laura Harth helped expose Beijing’s “overseas police service centers” as a global architecture of transnational repression — clandestine outposts that Harth and Safeguard Defenders linked to China’s Ministry of Public Security, triggering investigations from Europe to North America.

Now, Harth says, the machinery she helped reveal has turned on her with an AI-generated sexualized deepfake smear campaign that her organization identifies as part of the same Chinese police-linked repression ecosystem documented by the U.S. Justice Department and other security researchers.
