I’m a Muslim woman who escaped Islamic radicals in Iraq. Now I see an even more terrifying threat growing in America

When news broke Thursday of the synagogue attack in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, the pattern felt grimly familiar: Another Jewish house of worship, another act of violence.

As I watched the media reports and anxiously waited for casualty numbers, it was clear that despite the different time and different place, the fundamentalist ideology that I grew up with in the Middle East has now taken hold in Middle America.

Antisemitism is rising across the West, with hatred that once lingered along the margins now appearing openly. Jewish communities feel its impact daily, from increased security at synagogues to harassment on college campuses and families hesitating to display their Jewish identity in public.

‘A Lot of Life Years Lost’: How NAFTA Shortened American Life Spans

A study tracks how the North American Free Trade Agreement and trade competition with Mexico led to earlier deaths for American factory workers.

The North American Free Trade Agreement, the deal that began integrating the Mexican economy with the United States and Canada in the 1990s, has been a politically charged topic for decades.

Centrist Democrats and Republicans supported the agreement as a way to strengthen the North American economy. But its legacy has been mixed. In some parts of the United States, the agreement shuttered factories and put people out of work as companies moved production to Mexico, where labor was cheaper. President Trump won over unions and other workers as a candidate by labeling NAFTA the “worst agreement ever” and promising to improve or scrap it.

A new paper adds to the understanding of NAFTA’s costs. In it, economists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Chicago found that American workers in communities that were more exposed to competition from Mexican imports saw a significant shortening of their life spans after the trade deal went into effect in 1994.

China Owns Canada’s Only Antimony Mine And Shuttered It In Critical Minerals Power Play

In the rugged interior of Newfoundland, an hour’s drive west from the Canadian Forces Base in Gander, sits a dormant mine with profound implications for the nation’s security and prosperity. Beaver Brook could be the largest North American producer of antimony — a critical mineral threaded through the entire spectrum of modern military hardware, from small arms and artillery shells to advanced missile seekers and night-vision goggles.

Cuba acknowledges secret meetings with U.S. as Trump dials up threats

Amid crippling U.S. sanctions, an oil blockade and threats of a takeover, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel on Friday said his government has held direct talks with the United States “aimed at finding solutions through dialogue to the bilateral differences between the two nations.”

The acknowledgment came in a publicly broadcast speech during a meeting in Havana of the top levels of the government and Cuban Communist Party. It confirmed widespread reports of recent secret meetings between senior Trump administration officials and Cubans close to Raúl Castro, the still-influential former president and party head.

Imam to Muslims at Minnesota mosque: ‘We are their replacement’

An imam told worshippers at a Twin Cities mosque that Muslims are the “replacement” for those who once held positions of privilege in America, declaring during a sermon that “this is our moment.”

Imam Abdul Malik delivered the remarks on Jan. 23 at the Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center in Bloomington, where he urged Muslims in Minnesota to seek positions of influence across American institutions — including mayor, police chief, congressional leadership and even the presidency.

US approval of Britain plunges to record low

US approval of Britain has plummeted to a record low as Donald Trump supporters shun Sir Keir Starmer, new data shows.

The share of Americans who have a positive view of the UK has plummeted to 76pc this year from 84pc, according to polling by Gallup.

This is the lowest level since at least 1987 and the first time the share has ever fallen below 80pc. Over the last four decades, the number has averaged 88pc.

We the People Never Voted for Mass Islamic Immigration

Societal transformation without representation.

“Islam is largely alien to American history—it certainly didn’t come into the United States on the Mayflower,” freshman Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Tex.) observed last month. Gill continued: “It’s something that we deliberately imported as a matter of immigration policy into our country.”

Quite right. But who, exactly, is the “we” who implemented such a reckless—indeed, suicidal—act of mass cultural importation? It’s a frustratingly difficult question—and one we ought to be asking, especially in light of recent events.

Belmont Club: Regime Change

One of the reasons regime change is so risky is that the downside risk very often dominates upside potential. As we know from the Anna Karenina Principle, named from Leo Tolstoy’s novel, to get something right, all key factors must be present, while failure can occur by simply lacking just one. “All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way,” goes the famous quote. The chances of casting Scrabble tiles on a board and, through chance, forming an actual word are much lower than the odds of getting gibberish.

Manhunt for masked thieves who raided US Army base to steal FOUR DRONES amid Iran revenge attack fears

The US military is cracking down on catching two mysterious thieves who stole four drones from a secret Army base amid fears of an Iranian drone attack on US soil.

Army investigators are offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of two masked men who stole the drones from Fort Campbell in November. The drones were stored in a secretive engineer battalion building on the base.

Investigators released images of the two suspects they believed were involved in the theft. They were both wearing head and face coverings, dark sweatshirts and gloves.

Trump Is Dismantling Xi’s ‘China Dream’ One Piece At A Time

We are barely into March 2026, yet President Donald Trump’s bold foreign policy has already delivered a series of body blows to Xi Jinping’s grand vision for China’s global dominance.

Since assuming power in 2012, Xi has promoted the “China Dream” — a nationalist narrative of national rejuvenation that envisions China supplanting the United States as the world’s preeminent superpower. Central to this is his conviction that the “East is rising and the West is declining,” a belief that has shaped over a decade of CCP propaganda, military buildup, and assertive diplomacy. Xi discarded Deng Xiaoping’s prudent “hide your strength, bide your time” approach in favor of an assertive foreign policy posture, such as militarizing the South China Sea, coercing neighbors like the Philippines and Vietnam, and expanding arms exports to build influence in the Global South.

If Saudi Arabia Wants U.S. Alliance, It Must End Support for Sudanese Armed Forces — Aligned with Muslim Brotherhood and Iran — Not Fund It

Sudan’s ongoing civil war is not just a clash between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and their former military allies-turned rivals, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). It is a calculated power grab by the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood, recently listed by the US as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT). The US announced plans to formally classify the group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) starting March 16, 2026, and accused it of carrying out mass violence against civilians during Sudan’s ongoing war. Meanwhile, the terrorist organization appears to be using the SAF as a Trojan horse to dominate northeast Africa and the Red Sea – a critical artery for global commerce.
