The Communist Party’s incompetence has worsened a continuing demographic catastrophe in China, undermining hopes for its future.

The world faces a threat, not from a rising, powerful China, but from a China that is disaffected and in inevitable decline.

The National Bureau of Statistics reported Tuesday that China’s population had decreased in 2023 by about two million people, more than twice as many as the previous year’s drop of 850,000.

The King Arthur Baking Company is hosting a competition for bakeries and the winner gets a lot of dough.

It’s called “Baking Pitchfest 2024.”

Winners get mentorship from other bakers and financial support for their bakeries.

I have no problem so long as they run an identical contest for whites.

Two men who investigators believe fatally shot a prominent Sikh separatist leader in British Columbia are under police surveillance and are expected to be arrested by the RCMP in a matter of weeks, sources say.

Hardeep Singh Nijjar, 45, was leaving a Sikh temple in Surrey on June 18 when he was shot multiple times in a gangland-style slaying. He had been reportedly warned by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service that his life was in danger.

Hamas’s leader has said he will only agree to a new truce deal if it guarantees the release of all Palestinian prisoners currently being held in Israeli jails, according to reports.

Al Arabi Al Jadidi, a pro-Qatari newspaper, on Thursday quoted an unnamed Egyptian official saying the “leadership of Hamas” had rejected Israel’s offer of a temporary truce in exchange for the release of several dozen Israeli hostages.

The pillars of the British state are not the bastions of conservatism they used to be. The Church of England, flagellating itself over its “links with slavery,” bends the knee to the gospel of BLM. The headmaster of Eton College—which educated 20 of our prime ministers—declares himself “woke.” Judges still don their robes and wigs, but now they spout the dogmas of critical race theory. Britain’s Civil Servants, once known for stiff-upper-lipped efficiency, fritter away their time in endless diversity lectures. And presiding over all this is a so-called Conservative Party that has allowed UK immigration, both legal and illegal, to reach extraordinary new highs. So total has Britain’s cultural revolution been that it “has emptied every symbol of its former nature so that nothing is any longer what it claims to be,” as Peter Hitchens, its foremost chronicler, wearily concludes.

Three Israeli hostages killed by the Israel Defence Forces in Gaza were bare chested and carrying a white flag when they were shot, according to an initial military investigation.

The killing of the three men – who were kidnapped by Hamas on 7 October during its assault on southern Israel – has triggered widespread anger and incredulity in Israel amid a mounting sense of anxiety over the safety of the remaining hostages in Gaza.

According to reports of the IDF probe in the Israeli media, the three men Yotam Haim, Samer El-Talalka and Alon Shamriz – all in their 20s – had somehow escaped their captors and were approaching an IDF position in the Shejaiya area of Gaza City where there has been heavy fighting.

California coffee shop workers were filmed denying a Jewish customer access to the restroom after she complained it was filled with antisemitic graffiti — telling her “Free Palestine” and accusing her of wanting to use the facilities because “Israel loves taking private property and saying it’s their own.”

INSANE! These triggered employees are prohibiting an older Jewish customer from using the restroom.

Massachusetts has become the second US state to report a large uptick in the number of child pneumonia cases amid a mysterious viral outbreak in China.

Doctors in the Bay State noticed the rise in cases as Ohio reported enough cases to meet that state’s definition of an outbreak.

But physicians in western Massachusetts believe it is mostly RSV, a respiratory virus that kills more than 10,000 Americans each year — mostly young children and the elderly.

Mehdi Hasan is the latest casualty in MSNBC’s rush to quiet its anti-Israel faction. The network just cancelled the Pro-Palestine host’s weekend programme, as well as his show on the streaming service Peacock.

The Israel-Hamas War has exposed the inherent tensions within the Democratic Party’s electoral coalition, and Hasan’s cancellation signals an attempt to placate moderates at the expense of the far-Left.

The days following Hamas’ terror attacks in Israel seemed like a rare moment of unity in the European Parliament. Lawmakers from across the political spectrum gathered to condemn the violence and share in moments of silence.

But in the weeks since, that silence has been replaced by the usual clamor of debate and division as Europe’s streets fill with protesters and the continent’s Jewish and Muslim communities feel increasingly targeted.

As domestic debate grows more heated, Europe’s far-right parties are trying to cash in and gain political clout.

Hamas is reportedly shooting at civilians who ask to evacuate from a hospital in Gaza.

Yes Hamas, the leaders of Gaza are literally murdering Palestinians in Gaza.

Do you get it yet?

OTTAWA — The Liberal government’s seminal accountability plan to hit Canada’s climate target for 2030 is actually an unreliable blueprint that can’t be trusted, the federal environment commissioner concluded.

In a new report tabled Tuesday in Parliament, Environment and Sustainable Development Commissioner Jerry DeMarco found the Trudeau government’s plan to aggressively slash greenhouse gas emissions that caused the climate crisis is full of holes.

The real goals were to destroy the Oil & Gas industry and de-industrialize the Canadian economy.

The plan has succeeded. Canada’s economy is a wreck.

Its citizens grow ever more poor and their voices weaker in a flood tide of society destroying mass immigration.
