The real white privilege

Protesting DC police is easy when your race isn’t being killed

Just the facts, using Grok:

  • In 2023, the homicide rate for black people in Washington DC was 88.2 per 100,000 people.
  • The homicide rate for non-black people in Washington DC was 6.1 per 100,000 people.

Grok can crunch numbers. That’s about it. Think of computers as calculators with pictures of our grandchildren. OK, you no longer have to punch in 80085 to see boobs.

White people are the only ones protesting President Donald John Trump bringing in MPs from the National Guard and other law enforcement agencies.

Canada’s Pierre Poilievre Should Step Aside

Canada’s Pierre Poilievre is back after an election loss for the ages.

The Conservative Party leader won a by-election on Monday in Battle River-Crowfoot, a Tory electoral district in Alberta that he’s never lived in. He can finally return to Parliament after the embarrassment of losing his own seat of Carleton in Ottawa during the federal election in April, which saw the Conservatives blow a more than 20-point lead to a Liberal Party led by former central banker Mark Carney.

‘Hateful’ professor insists St George’s Flag ‘represents racism, not patriotism’

A Good Morning Britain guest has sparked fury by claiming the St George’s flag is ‘racist’ and should be changed.

Controversial black studies professor Kehinde Andrews, who has previously attacked Britain and the Royal Family, claimed England’s national flag was deep-rooted in racism amid a row over a ‘patriotic outpouring’ around the country.

An online movement called ‘Operation Raise the Colours’ has led to communities across the country hanging up Union Jack and St George’s flags, including in Birmingham, London, Bradford, Newcastle and Norwich.

Sweden Democrats: Fix Broken Health System for Swedes, Not Gazans

Swedish citizens are constantly being let down by their health care system. But rather than focus on improving services for their voters, establishment figures are considering plans that would place them under further strain.

Health Minister Acko Ankarberg Johansson said on Monday that the government does not rule out transporting Gazans to Sweden and treating them there, an idea supported by the opposition. But already, Swedish hospitals are being closed down, and their patients sent to overcrowded facilities, with women from six regions having to travel up to 300 km to give birth.

A Nation Built on Sand: How Canada Squanders Its Abundance

OTTAWA — Canada is celebrated abroad as a safe, prosperous, and open society. But beneath the surface, a far more precarious reality is taking shape. The pillars of our economy — land, real estate, natural resources, and immigration — have been left vulnerable to foreign manipulation, criminal exploitation, and political negligence. The result is what can only be described as a sandcastle economy — striking at first glance, but fragile. Like the parable of the house built on sand, it is a foundation vulnerable to give way when the storm comes.

Variety Is Now Actively Rooting for the End of Hollywood

The magazine’s editor hasn’t caught on that America is done with Hollywoke.

One of the recurring features of the Mike Holman novels I’ve been writing over the past couple of years is the regularity of their content coming to pass in real life, and the latest, Blockbusters, which is available here at The American Spectator in serialized form, is no different.

Blockbusters essentially games out a scenario in which a large amount of capital is applied toward the idea that control of entertainment media transforms the film and TV industry into something very different and far more successful. It’s sort of a Get Shorty-meets-Wall Street-meets-Secret Of My Success.

It’s a lot of fun.

John Robson: Canadians unwilling to defend themselves?

To you with failing hands we throw … the stent? Really? Shall Canadians rally round the oxygen monitor and stand by to repel bacteria? So the polls show.

The National Post reports an Angus Reid survey finding that a significant majority of us favour compulsory voluntary service by the youth of today. Which might sound like a bracingly traditional Jordan Peterson clean-your-room, stand-up-straight, shoulders-back attitude until you read the fine print, which would risk making Peterson ill if he weren’t already. Because it turns out we want to conscript them to work in health care so we get stuff we didn’t pay for, not to defend the country because if ye break faith and so on.

Not many people think a 3rd World Dumpster state is worth defending. Funny that.

Number of Mounties on long-term sick leave poses ‘significant operational challenges’: report

The proportion of Mounties on long-term, off-duty sick leave has reached an all-time high and become a critical issue for the national police force, according to a new outside report.

The Management Advisory Board (MAB), an oversight body that advises the RCMP commissioner, is warning that the existing model of unlimited sick leave at full pay is unsustainable and in need of a rethink in order to get more officers back on patrol — recommendations that are already garnering vehement disagreement from the RCMP union.

32 Christians are killed per day, but the West sees only Gaza

Once upon a time, Africa was always on the front pages of European newspapers.

Today, Africa has vanished. Erased by Gaza’s Ministry of Truth.

A new report from the International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law, Intersociety, reveals that 7,087 Christians were massacred in Nigeria in the first 220 days of 2025, with an average of 32 Christians killed per day. By year’s end, they will number more than ten thousand.

Let’s repeat it: 32 Christians killed every day because they are Christians.

The New Yorker’s Racialism Problem

Prestige media has turned “antiracism” into a farce. It’s time to move beyond it.

It seems that all of the conventional opinion of America’s chattering class is condensed and printed once a week in the pages of the New Yorker. In normal times, this process yields some good writing and reporting. In certain periods, the magazine has produced some magnificent work. But we have not lived in normal times for the past decade. The conventional opinions of the chattering classes have ranged from delusional idealism to racialist fever dreams, and worse.

The most recent illustration of this trend is an essay by New Yorker staff writer Doreen St. Felix, who penned a screed about the blonde starlet Sydney Sweeney. Sweeney, St. Felix mused, represents a fantasy “Aryan princess” to some of her fans, with her much-discussed breasts placed in dark contrast with “the Black man’s hunger for ass.”

Pierre Poilievre can be an attack dog and a grown-up all at the same time

There’s an episode of The Simpsons where Mr. Burns, billionaire nuclear-power-plant owner and villain of Springfield, decides to run for governor against the incumbent, Mary Bailey. During a war-room meeting, Mr. Burns’s campaign manager lays out their challenge: “While Gov. Bailey is beloved by all, 98 per cent of the voters rate you as despicable or worse. That’s why we’ve assembled the finest campaign team money can buy.”

Russia and Ukraine: Why Are We Negotiating with Evil?

“The only way to reach a deal on anything, whether it’s in business or in politics or in geopolitics, the only way to reach a deal is for each side to get something and each side to give something,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio told NBC’s Kristen Welker on Meet the Press on August 17.

Rubio, talking about the war in Ukraine, completely missed the fundamental issue: Should the United States be trying to reach a deal in the first place?
