Nicki Minaj is not a theologian, a historian, or a political philosopher. However, during a Sunday conversation with Erika Kirk at Turning Point USA’s annual AmericaFest, she articulated a moral truth that much of our culture — especially our political culture — seems determined to forget. Her remarks about beauty, pride, and childhood dignity unexpectedly point toward one of the central crises of our time: our inability to forgive, and our obsession with inherited guilt.
The new naughty list just dropped, as the kids say these days. The pre-Christmas release of the Epstein files, or at least some of them – elves heavily redacted – has brought much-needed good cheer to all of us. Not every red face on Christmas afternoon will be down to port and brandy this year. And the cast of characters – Mick Jagger, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, Richard Branson and all the rest – sounds like the guest list for the worst Graham Norton Christmas Special ever.
The release of the files as they stand, though, seems to me to add fuel to all sorts of conspiracy theories. In the first place, they really do seem to confirm what many of us normies have long suspected. The rich and famous really do pal around with each other in a way that transcends ideological divides.
Two more sleeps till Christmas Day!

There continues to be a debate among global geopolitical analysts regarding whether the United States and China are engaged in a Cold War or a competition for global dominance.
The answer is irrelevant.
By anyone’s observation, China seeks to dominate the 21st century, and they will do so by “any means necessary.” In the process, they will use their military might to create a sphere of influence that is designed to cow nations that range from Japan to Australia to India.
The number of medical assistance in dying cases in Canada has increased by 7% from 2023 to 2024.
When comparing the 2022 and 2024 numbers, MAID deaths increased by 24%.
But where are these MAID deaths concentrated?

Terrorists threw IEDs at the Chanukah event
… The pair are accused of throwing four improvised explosive devices at a Jewish crowd at Archer Park, which failed to detonate, before opening fire from a footbridge on the evening of Dec. 14.
Police said the pair parked their car on Campbell Parade in Bondi Beach at about 6:50 p.m. and then draped Islamic State flags over the front and rear windscreens. They then allegedly carried three firearms, three pipe bombs and a homemade “tennis ball bomb” as they walked toward the footbridge and began shooting at the Chanukah by the Sea gathering.

Disgraced first son Hunter Biden turned on his father, Joe, in a wide-ranging podcast interview this week, acknowledging that the 46th president’s lax immigration policy and move to pull US forces out of Afghanistan were both catastrophic failures.
Hearing this from Hunter Biden was not on my 2025 bingo card.
Just demolished his father’s administration.
“We don’t want immigrants that are coming here illegally, draining us of resources, and being prioritized above anybody in our society.”

‘This isn’t a woke issue. This is a war-fighting issue’, said Lt.-Col. Melanie Lake
More than 30 years after Canada’s military allowed women to serve in combat roles, it’s now specifically designing uniforms and body armour to fit their bodies.
For decades, female soldiers have been wearing uniforms designed primarily for men and some say it has made their jobs harder, contributed to injuries and hurt morale.
Retired major Sandra Perron became the country’s first female infantry officer in 1990 and remembers being handed an extra-small men’s uniform.
Russia beware!
Once in Tampa Bay, I saw a big fat guy on a motorcycle. He was riding without a helmet — while chain-smoking cigarettes — and gripping a bag of Arby’s takeout.
That’s right: ARBY’S! (Gasp!) What a maniac!
I thought, “Wow, talk about not caring about your health even a little bit.”
Of course, it’s entirely possible that the guy was the pinnacle of health and fitness, with a lower cholesterol level than me. It’s possible he’ll live to 100, smoking Marlboros and gorging on Arby’s long after we’re all dead and buried.
You never know for sure.
Good read.
Activists in Canada and elsewhere who want to “globalize the intifada” are effectively calling for the murder of Jews. There should be no doubt this is what the phrase means for many of those who would put it into action. To naively — or cynically — argue otherwise is to wilfully ignore reality and risk Canadian lives.
Good luck getting the law to accept that.
Anyone can read the redactions of the Epstein Files by just copying and pasting them into a word doc. The people at Trump's Justice Department are so stupid they used Adobe Acrobat to black out the documents. pic.twitter.com/ZD5GNipEFh

U.S. Vice President JD Vance warned that the mass migration agenda could risk a nuclear weapons in Europe falling under the control of Islamist politicians.
Vice President Vance, who has been leading the charge from Washington against globalists in Europe on issues such as freedom of speech and open borders, said that mass migration into the UK and EU from Muslim countries could threaten the foundations of the Western alliance and the security of the United States.
A growing majority of Canadians favour “Merry Christmas” as a seasonal greeting, according to a new survey gauging public opinion on a range of festive questions—including when parents should have the “Santa talk” with their children.
Among respondents in the latest Research Co. survey, 67 per cent said they’re partial to “Merry Christmas,” up five percentage points from 2024, and marking a six-year high for the Christmas-specific greeting.
The more-inclusive “Happy Holidays” was preferred by 18 per cent of respondents, down six percentage points from last year, while the rest said they’re either unsure or do not care.
