Why Are the Irish Media Ignoring an Apparent Islamist Knife Attack?

On July 29th 2025, a member of the Irish police (Garda Siochana) was attacked by Abdullah Khan, a second-generation Pakistani Muslim immigrant in Dublin city centre. Ireland’s state broadcaster, RTE, in the immediate aftermath of the knife attack was quick to assert that the attacker had Irish citizenry: “The man, who is an Irish citizen and born in Ireland, can be questioned for up to 24 hours.”

‘Mind the Grab’ is victim-blaming at its worst

It has been a very long time since London’s Oxford Street struck the neutral observer as having the kind of prosperity and allure that one would expect of the nation’s premier commercial thoroughfare.

Still, even by the standards of the vape shops and ‘American Candy’ stores that long ago replaced Topshop, HMV and the Virgin Megastore as the street’s vital organs, the latest eye-catching innovation is a dismal symptom of London’s defeatism and decline.

Germans will fight for their right to drive at 259mph

A Bugatti driver made headlines in 2021 by reaching that claimed speed in the land which invented the car. But do voters still agree with no limits?

On German autobahns, 120mph tends to be a cruise, 140mph is getting a move on and 160mph and beyond is for when you’re really in a hurry.

Yet occasionally even petrolheads who make pilgrimages on the famously laissez-faire motorway network are obliged to slow down — like on a short stretch of the A2 outside Magdeburg, where the driver of a Porsche Panamera neglected to notice there was a 75mph restriction.

Officers said he had been clocked at 199mph, which, they noted, was considerably over the limit. The driver emerged from the incident with only a fine of €900 and two points on his licence.

Ford & Carney now trying to salvage relationship they trashed with Mexico after falling out with Trump

This will win hearts and minds.

Canada is trying to salvage its relationship with Mexico after falling out with Trump: analysts

MEXICO CITY – Prime Minister Mark Carney is scrambling to save his country’s relationship with Mexico after it disintegrated late last year when Canadian officials suggested they’d be better off negotiating a trade deal with the Trump administration alone.

Carney attempted to break the ice in a phone call with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum in July by complimenting an indigenous-made soccer ball she had gifted him at their last meeting and saying he hoped to visit Mexico soon.

The warm overture, relayed to Reuters by three people familiar with the call, highlights Canada’s attempt to repair the damage after a string of public slights by Canadian officials, including Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who said in November that any comparison of Canada to Mexico was “the most insulting thing I’ve ever heard.”

Officer killed in shooting outside CDC HQ in Atlanta by gunman who reportedly blamed COVID vaccine for illness

A cop was killed when an unhinged masked gunman who blamed the COVID-19 vaccine for an apparent illness unleashed a hail of bullets outside the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters in Atlanta on Friday, according to police and reports.

The deranged suspect, who died at the scene, opened fire on at least four CDC buildings and then stormed into a building across the street that houses a CVS at Georgia’s Emory University around 4:50 p.m., forcing students to shelter in place on the last day of the summer term, authorities said.

US pro-Palestinian activist paid $75k to protest, funding traces back to Chinese Communist Party

One of the lead organizers of pro-Palestine rallies in New York – David (Sung Mo) Chung – is paid $75,000 to protest, Nate Friedman first revealed in an investigation that he posted to his social media.

Friedman has been talking to people at protests for over a year, and now works to uncover professional protesters. He first came across Chung at a “Hands Off Iran” protest in NYC, he told The Jerusalem Post in an interview on Thursday. Friedman was trying to speak to a man with a flag that read, “There is no god but Allah,” but just “two sentences into the interview, another man interrupted and pulled the guy aside, and told him they were getting ready to march.” The other man was Chung.
