Black America’s Anti-Semitism Problem

An academic paper explores the character and sources of black anti-Semitism

From Kanye West endorsing Hitler to Kyrie Irving inviting followers to watch a documentary about how blacks are the true Jews, anti-Semitism from prominent black figures has been in the news. A recent study explores the phenomenon of black anti-Semitism more broadly, ruling out popular explanations—and excuses—for its frequency.

Black anti-Semitism is nothing new. It has appeared in the works of black intellectuals since at least the early-20th-century black nationalist Marcus Garvey, as Elliot Kaufman observed in Commentary, and defined politics in New York City—the American metropolis where blacks and Jews most often rub shoulders—for generations.

US Returns to the Philippines to Fend Off China

The more U.S. and allied military power is based on and along these island chains, the more readily China can be contained in the western Pacific.

Thirty years ago, as the post–Cold War era dawned, the United States formally transferred control of the U.S. Naval Base Subic Bay to the Philippine government. The Washington Post reported on Nov. 24, 1992, that the transfer ended 94 years of U.S. military presence in the archipelago. The previous year saw American air forces depart from Clark Air Base. The United States seized the Philippines from Spain after its victory in the Spanish–American War in 1898. But with a new Cold War brewing in the western Pacific, Kyodo News reports that the U.S. Navy will likely return to Subic Bay as part of a U.S.–Philippines Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement.

Death by relativism, or how Canada offers suicide as a lifestyle choice

IN his last homily before becoming Pope Benedict XVI in 2005, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger coined the phrase ‘a dictatorship of relativism.’

In his sermon, he said: ‘We are building a dictatorship of relativism that does not recognise anything as definitive, and whose ultimate goal consists solely of one’s own ego and desires.’

Proponents of the philosophy of relativism claim to believe that there is no truth; you have your beliefs and I have mine. And it seems as though we are seeing Benedict’s warning come to pass in Canada.

In 2023, we need a reckoning with multiculturalism

From Leicester to Telford, the poisonous influence of multiculturalism was impossible to ignore this year.

Britain remains a successful multi-ethnic, multi-faith society. But 2022 served up several brutal reminders of how quickly social cohesion can unravel under the impact of the divisive ideology of multiculturalism.

The disorder in Leicester during August and September, in which groups of largely Hindu and Muslim men fought each other for days on end, was particularly troubling. It could prove a watershed moment for community relations in modern Britain.

STROBEL: John Tory’s inaction on crime in the city ‘totally unacceptable’

Weak platitudes and woke diversions won’t save our great city from sinking deeper into the muck

I’ll say this for John Tory: He’s consistent.

“UNACCEPTABLE,” the mayor says of the swarming murder that has shocked his city to its core.

I suspect Toronto is fast reaching its “Diversity” tipping point.

Our “leaders” will do nothing to reverse this.

Get out while you can.

̷C̷a̷n̷a̷d̷a̷ ̷p̷l̷a̷n̷s̷ ̷t̷o̷ ̷w̷e̷l̷c̷o̷m̷e̷ Trudeau government to foist millions of migrants on Canada to please Corporate Class. Can our aging infrastructure keep up?

Will Canada’s homeless encampments be able to absorb the coming wave?

The Canadian population just blew past 39 million, and the country is only going to get bigger: Ottawa announced in November it wants to bring in a half-million more immigrants each year. The population grows apace, our infrastructure — governmental and private — is struggling to keep up. And it’s a story playing out across Canada.

They want you dead and replaced with compliant slaves.

Justin Trudeau has a gun-free Canada within his reach

When Roe v. Wade was overturned in the United States on June 24, much of the ensuing commentary expressed at least grudging respect for the Republican Party’s skill at playing “the long game.” The constitutional right to abortion, after all, was something conservatives had been chipping away at since Roe was decided back in 1973; securing its overturn, nearly five decades later, was testament to the power of staying stubbornly fixated on a political goal.

Now even Saint Jacinda snubs Meghan

Are the wokest couple in all the West losing their star power? The first-half of the Sussexes’ new ‘explosive’ documentary attracted less than a million viewers in the 332-million strong USA, with one critic remarking ‘If I were Netflix, I’d want my money back.’ Meghan’s planned animated series Pearl has already been binned. And now even the right-on Jacinda Ardern has distanced herself from the runaway royals and their latest paean to progressivism.

Court upholds Eric Zemmour’s conviction over anti-Muslim comments

The European Court of Human Rights rejected the appeal of former French presidential candidate Eric Zemmour, who was convicted in France for “inciting discrimination and religious hatred” over comments targeting the French Muslim community.

“The court held that the interference with the applicant’s right to freedom of expression had been necessary in a democratic society to protect the rights of others that were at stake,” the ECHR wrote in a statement released Tuesday.

Unleashing Clean Fusion Power Is America’s Best Defense against Tyranny

It may prove to be as historic as the harnessing of fire, invention of the wheel, or the channeling of electricity. It will certainly rank on a par with the first release of nuclear energy in an experimental Chicago reactor or its first test as an atomic weapon near Los Alamos, New Mexico.

It is the first successful experiment to extract power from controlled fusion.

It may take a decade or more to convert their successful experiment into commercially available power, but what it offers is an inexhaustible, readily available source of clean energy that eliminates pollution, greenhouse gases, or radioactive waste from the current generation of nuclear reactors. In short, it has the means to be as powerful and transformative than any advance in energy technology mankind as ever deployed to run its society.

Fusion remains a pipe dream for now, we need standard nuclear reactors by the score. The next election needs to be about freedom, energy security and our standard of living. The eco-death cultists would happily murder millions.

‘The Iran deal is not our focus right now,’ National Security Council spokesman John Kirby says after leaked footage captures Biden ADMITTING that Obama’s Iran nuclear deal is ‘dead’

New video has emerged of President Biden saying a revised version of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal his White House was brokering is ‘dead’ and claiming Iran has a nuclear weapon.

White House national security spokesman John Kirby shortly after confirmed the U.S. is not focused on the Iran deal, though he would not say it is ‘dead.’

‘The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action is just not our focus. Right now. And it’s not on our agenda. We simply don’t see a deal coming together anytime soon while Iran continues to kill its its its own citizens and selling UAVs to Russia,’ he told reporters.
