‘Whites-Only’ Community Sued After Rejecting Woman Over Her Jewish Ancestry, Black Husband

‘Whites-Only’ Community Sued After Rejecting Woman Over Her Jewish Ancestry, Black Husband

A “whites-only” community in Arkansas now faces a federal discrimination lawsuit after a woman with Jewish ancestry and a black husband was denied the ability to buy land there.In 2025, a “private membership association,” Return to the Land, acquired 160 acres to set up a settlement in the Ozark Mountains. The group says that its community is limited to people with “traditional views and European ancestry.”


Hey Grok! – Are there “Black Only” or “Muslim Only” or “Jewish Only” Communities in the USA?

Yes, there are communities in the USA that are predominantly or historically “Black only” in practice, and some that function as de facto ethnic or religious enclaves for Muslims and Jews, though explicit legal exclusion by race or religion is generally illegal under federal law.


So they should have allowed it as it is illegal under law to discriminate, however a little patience would have proved this a stunt by irritating people and the conflict would have taken care of itself.

A dozen-plus Toronto police officers have been arrested this year. That’s not just ‘bad apples’

A dozen-plus Toronto police officers have been arrested this year. That’s not just ‘bad apples’

The media was first to tell the people of Toronto that three of its police officers had been arrested in Spain. Initially the reason for the arrests was unclear, but soon the details began trickling out: while vacationing in Barcelona last week, one of these men allegedly sexually assaulted a sex worker in a taxi while another physically assaulted her after she refused to participate in a threesome, according to Spanish media. The woman was allegedly punched in the face, which caused a cut that required stitches, and was sexually assaulted before she was rescued by plain-clothed officers in the area; the third suspect is accused of attacking an officer. One of the suspects fled the scene, but was found in Palma de Mallorca roughly 48 hours later.

Deep in the blackouts, desperate Cubans say: We want deal with Trump

Deep in the blackouts, desperate Cubans say: We want deal with Trump

On a street called “Perseverance” in the heart of central Havana, patience has run out. Its warren of homes, crammed behind the façades of once-grand mansions, have been without electricity for all but a few hours of the past two weeks. Most of its residents have moved from the stifling indoors to the marginally cooler pavement outside. There, they are letting their frustration rip.

“Come on Trump, just send the ships and end this shit,” said one, a rake-thin man who gave his name as Rafael. His neighbours appeared taken aback by such open dissidence, but none bothered to argue with him. “We want a deal with Trump. No war,” said a woman called Odalys, as she fed her baby.

Alberta essential to plans to build a better Canada, Carney says in wake of Danielle Smith’s referendum gambit

Alberta essential to plans to build a better Canada, Carney says in wake of Danielle Smith’s referendum gambit

OTTAWA—In a measured and conciliatory message to Alberta, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Friday that he is working to make Canada “better” after the province’s premier revealed she will stage a vote that could trigger a historic separation referendum and set off a potential threat to national unity unseen in a generation.

Appearing in the 19th-century parliamentary library during a tour of ongoing renovations to the Centre Block, Carney cited former prime ministers Joe Clark, Stephen Harper, and other Alberta politicians who made “huge contributions” in Canada’s Parliament and other areas of national life.

A Mysterious Children’s Search Engine Is Misleading Kids

A Mysterious Children’s Search Engine Is Misleading Kids

Since 2016, governments, media, and tech companies have warned about online disinformation targeting adults. Far less attention has been paid to the information tools increasingly shaping children, even as such “kid-safe” platforms become more embedded into the internet’s trust infrastructure.

One significant child-focused platform, Kiddle, delivers a striking pattern of geopolitical and ideological framing that softens authoritarian regimes and extremist movements while presenting itself as a trusted educational resource. Foreign terrorist organizations, like Hamas and Hezbollah, are whitewashed. Russia’s war on Ukraine is downgraded to a “military operation,” mirroring Kremlin language, while Joseph Stalin’s role in Russian history is reduced to his success in building a “strong, modern nation.”

CHARLEBOIS: Is the era of Skimpflation over?

CHARLEBOIS: Is the era of Skimpflation over?

Most consumers have heard of shrinkflation. Less quantity, same price. It is highly visible and easy to notice, especially now that everyone carries a smartphone, takes pictures, and collectively compares products online. Consumers have become far more vigilant.

Shrinkflation has long been perceived as a legal, yet deceptive, way to protect margins while quietly reducing value.

But another phenomenon has been unfolding more discreetly, and most consumers barely notice it. It is called “skimpflation.”

Sell Arms to Taiwan Now: China Is Bluffing

Sell Arms to Taiwan Now: China Is Bluffing

“The Taiwan question is the most important issue in China-U.S. relations,” Xi Jinping told President Donald Trump during their summit this month, according to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning. “If it is handled properly, the bilateral relationship will enjoy overall stability. Otherwise, the two countries will have clashes and even conflicts, putting the entire relationship in great jeopardy.”

“The Taiwan Question,” according to China’s embassy in Washington, is the first of “the four red lines” in China-U.S. relations that “must not be challenged.”

The People’s Republic of China, however, is bluffing.

Doug Ford blasts Danielle Smith’s Alberta referendum move: ‘It’s not going to win’

Doug Ford blasts Danielle Smith’s Alberta referendum move: ‘It’s not going to win’

Premier Doug Ford is blasting Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s decision to hold a referendum on whether her province should move toward secession from Canada.

“I’d never do it. Premier Smith knows how I feel. She wants to, I guess, protect her 30 per cent base,” Ford said Friday in Sault Ste. Marie.

That was an apparent reference to separatist elements with Smith’s United Conservative Party that want Alberta to secede.

When the Elitist Press Sounds Invested in Islamophobia

On Monday, two teenagers killed three men at the San Diego Islamic Center, then killed themselves. What a pointless spasm of violence it was. It took a few days for The New York Times to flex their rhetorical muscles and blame conservatives.

On the top left of Thursday’s front page, the headline read: “Islamophobia Spreads Fast, As Does Fear: Mosque Attack Reflects Rise in Overt Hatred.”

The Left Tried to Destroy Kash Patel. Crime Data Just Vindicated Him.

The FBI released preliminary crime data for 2025, and the numbers are stunning. Violent crime fell at a rate not seen in nearly a century, and the man overseeing the bureau is the same one the left has been trying to torch for months.

Murder and non-negligent manslaughter dropped more than 18% nationwide last year. Aggravated assault fell more than 7%. Rape declined nearly 8%. Robbery cratered by about 18.5%. All told, violent crime dropped about 9.3% overall; there were roughly 1.1 million fewer violent crimes than in 2024.

City of Toronto, security contractor trade blame in $32M lawsuit defences

While they’re both on the receiving end of the same litigation, security contractor One Community Solutions and the City of Toronto are not putting up a united front.

Both are fighting a proposed class-action lawsuit, and while they’re both disputing the allegations, in their statements of defence each is suggesting that the other would be responsible should a court find any wrongdoing took place.

France: One in Three Either Foreign Born or Descendant of Immigrants

France: One in Three Either Foreign Born or Descendant of Immigrants

A major study from France’s premier public research institute found “a society profoundly marked by long-term immigration,” with around a third of the population estimated to have been born abroad or to have been the child or grandchild of immigrants.

Research from the National Institute of Demographic Studies (INED) in Paris has perhaps provided the clearest picture of France’s demographic makeup, a country officially governed by a colourblind doctrine that prohibits the collection of racial or ethnic statistics in its census, making systematic tracking of immigrant groups difficult.
