CAIR Goes After Children Accused of ‘Blasphemy’ Against Islam

CAIR Goes After Children Accused of ‘Blasphemy’ Against Islam

CAIR, an unindicted terrorist funding co-conspirator, whose chapter had previously targeted an art teacher in Minnesota over paintings of Mohammed, is now coming after a shark in sneakers and the children who enjoy spreading its memes on a gaming platform known as Roblox.

According to the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the shark in sneakers is guilty of blasphemy for saying “porco Allah” or “Allah is a pig”. And so are the kids spreading memes of the shark, better known as ‘Tralalero Tralalá’ chanting “Allah is a pig”. (It rhymes in Italian.)


No one says a thing about Porco Dio!

Why the Liberals may pay a price for the party’s increasingly big tent

Why the Liberals may pay a price for the party’s increasingly big tent

OTTAWA — Political parties, particularly those that are close enough to smell power, are quick to describe themselves as “big tents.”

With the addition this week of Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu, the Liberal party’s new tent — to riff off a crack going around some Parliament Hill circles — is now big enough to drive a truckers’ convoy through.

‘I feel like I’m losing her’: the families torn apart by older relatives going far right

‘I feel like I’m losing her’: the families torn apart by older relatives going far right

Graham doesn’t remember his mother ever sharing her political views. He’s not certain she even voted until she met his father, who was a big Labour supporter. She went along with that, only once voting Tory as an act of spite towards the end of their relationship. She later married a farmer who was more conservative, and leaned towards leave in the Brexit referendum. “But, honestly, beyond that, she would never even speak of politics. She just wasn’t interested.”

Graham, who works in the transport industry in the Midlands, noticed a big change in his mother during the Covid pandemic. “I remember walking home from work one day and I got this phone call and all of a sudden she was listing off these conspiracy theories at me.” He now realises how much time she was spending online, on her phone and iPad, cut off from friends, family and the church life that had always been so important to her.


I keep hoping for an expose by some guy of the Crazy Crap he got published in the Guardian, but no luck so far this piece is not satire, well it’s not supposed to be.

BC NDP denounces Western Standard as ‘racist’ for editorial rejecting 60M Indian immigrants

VANCOUVER — The BC NDP caucus has accused interim BC Conservative Leader Trevor Halford of promoting a “racist website” by praising the Western Standard while remaining silent on the specific article that prompted his praise.

In a media release issued Friday, NDP MLA Rohini Arora criticized Halford after he described the Western Standard as “independent journalism at its best” and said “B.C. needs more of it.”

Man Who Threw Molotov Cocktail at OpenAI CEO’s Home Referenced Luigi Mangione

Man Who Threw Molotov Cocktail at OpenAI CEO’s Home Referenced Luigi Mangione

A 20-year-old Texas man who allegedly firebombed OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s home in San Francisco referenced Luigi Mangione, who is accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

The suspect, Daniel Moreno-Gama allegedly traveled from Texas to California with several weapons, a Molotov cocktail, and a manifesto in which he railed against artificial intelligence. He believed the technology poses an existential threat.


A return to the days when anarchists committed assassinations across the western world?

Eric Swalwell, California Psycho

Eric Swalwell, California Psycho

He hid a seriously disturbed moral compass behind his shield of virtue signaling.

It’s hard to fathom how fast now-former Rep. Eric Swalwell’s star has faded. One moment he was the leading contender to be the governor of America’s largest state; the next, he had ended his gubernatorial campaign and resigned his congressional seat in disgrace.

After former Vice President Kamala Harris passed on running for California governor, a thoroughly uninspiring field of Democratic candidates seeking the office sprung up. However, California’s unique primary system meant that Democrats had to rally around somebody, and Swalwell seemed to be the guy.

Pierre Poilievre hates Mark Carney’s high-speed rail plan. Is his attack a ‘political loser’?

Pierre Poilievre hates Mark Carney’s high-speed rail plan. Is his attack a ‘political loser’?

OTTAWA—Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is going all-in on his fight to oppose the Liberal government’s vision for a high-speed rail network in Central Canada — a project that boasts support from younger voters, local political leaders and even some in western provinces.

To Poilievre, the project is a boondoggle-in-waiting with a $60- to $90-billion price tag that could spiral out of control, imperil existing transportation routes and raze through rural communities.

Criminal-Justice Reformers, Take Note

Criminal-Justice Reformers, Take Note

In contemporary criminal-justice debates, the term “second chances” seems to have lost much of its meaning. The U.S. dedicates the month of April to the idea that we systematically deny second chances to people who come into contact with the criminal-justice system. This is a strange claim, given that the typical state prisoner in America has approximately ten prior arrests and five prior convictions—meaning that he probably received far more than just a “second” chance.

Conrad Black: Trump has humiliated Iran

Conrad Black: Trump has humiliated Iran

Regular readers will note that most of what was predicted about the Iran War in the last three weeks in this column is coming to pass. The Iranians entered into the Islamabad discussions exuding confidence that the Americans were suing for peace and that Iran had found and struck the Achilles’ heel of the West by closing the Strait of Hormuz. This revealed the infirmity of the Western Alliance and exploited the consumptive flabbiness of the American public itself with the terrifying spectre of somewhat higher gasoline prices.

Selective Outrage: When Hezbollah Attacks

Selective Outrage: When Hezbollah Attacks

Once again, large segments of the international community, from the United Nations to key European governments, appear either unwilling or unable to confront the basic and uncomfortable reality that the latest escalation in hostilities did not begin with Israel. It began with Hezbollah.

This silence — or at best, selective acknowledgment — when, without provocation, rockets were launched into Israel, stands in blazing contrast to the instant outrage when Israel responds. That imbalance is not just dishonest; it distorts the foundation of how conflicts like this are understood.
