The Endless Quest For Reparations

The effort to get American taxpayers to pay African Americans reparations to atone for slavery in America has been around for many years. The premise for these efforts is a belief that descendants of slaves deserve reparations to compensate them for the harms of slavery their ancestors endured, and the residual discrimination they experience to this day. Is this really a good thing, or simply woke posturing that stokes race division and seeks to bankrupt America? How do you establish eligibility? What will it cost? There are more questions than answers.

We have forgotten the lessons of 7/7

A new generation is being radicalised

The grandiose Makkah Masjid Mosque in Leeds marked an impressive contrast with the surrounding terraced properties, as I walked through the tightly packed red-brick Victorian streets leading onto Royal Park Road. While the austere, graffitied houses still bore signs of poverty and neglect, their metal security gates indicating a grim sense of insecurity, the mosque stood as an oasis of calm and tranquillity.

This down-at-heel cosmopolitan community, home to immigrants, artists and students, had always been poor but peaceful. Yet on that afternoon 20 years ago, something had changed. The atmosphere was tense: the familiar sounds of Asian music, reverberating from youthful sound systems, had been replaced by a chorus of police sirens, and the colourful aura of the storefronts was lit up by flashing blue lights.

The life of a conservative male on a Canadian campus: ‘We are not the demons that you see us as’

Young men are falling behind, at school and at work, and the stats on drug overdoses and death by suicide are sobering. Not unlike other mothers of sons, I’ve keenly observed the raging “masculinity” debate, to ensure my own sons aren’t undone by their own sense of being treated unfairly. We’re used to seeing males in positions of power so there’s often not a lot of empathy for the struggles of young men.

New footage shows moment two Muslim brothers ‘assaulted police officers trying to arrest them at Manchester Airport’

The dramatic moment when two brothers allegedly assaulted police officers as they tried to arrest them at Manchester Airport last summer was shown to a jury today.

Captured from two angles by CCTV cameras, it shows the violence which broke out when police attempted to detain Mohammed Fahir Amaaz at a pay station.

He had been identified as having headbutted a passenger at a Starbucks café in the arrivals area minutes before, Liverpool Crown Court has heard.

Half of Migrants Refuse To Work in Germany’s Community Service Program

After the first few months, one of Germany’s pilot projects—requiring unemployed asylum seekers to enroll in community service or have their social benefits cut—has produced abysmal results, as every other migrant with work obligations refused to show up, despite the incentives and threat of sanctions.

The data was reported by Udo Recktenwald, the CDU district administrator of St. Wendel in Saarland, which joined three other CDU-led districts this spring in expanding a program launched last year, hoping to serve as a successful integration model that could be later implemented across the country.

Progressive Delusions Are Fading Fast

The cultural turnaround has begun. And I’m happy to be part of it — unlike my former friends.

The biggest downside to being blocked by progressive former friends — like most in my old Hollywood circle — is I don’t get to observe their total breakdown as the liberal dreamworld crumbles around them. Yet every argument I made to them was exalted last Fourth of July, when President Trump and his gorgeous First Lady danced on the Truman Balcony as fireworks exploded over the incomparable Washington skyline. The couple were not only celebrating the 249th anniversary of the greatest country in the history of Earth but the best two weeks for any presidency in my lifetime. And though I couldn’t see or hear it, I could feel the wailing of my ex-mates all the way from the opposite coast.

Mark Carney, Canada’s ‘finance daddy,’ is having problems delivering

Hiring a new manager to fix a broken business model and mollify your biggest, angriest customer carries a grace period – that time when the new hire can make promises, assemble a team, send the right signals to stakeholders and take decisions that might otherwise spark animated resistance.

Mr. Carney has made the most of his grace period. Recent polls suggest 52.7 per cent of Canadians prefer him as prime minister versus 22.9 per cent for Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre – a margin of 29 percentage points.

Who keeps track of newcomers?

Two recent news reports bring into question how much surveillance there is over individuals coming to this country.

Postmedia journalist Bryan Passifiume reported last week on a warning from the Council for a Secure Canada that sloppy Immigration oversight makes Canada a target for infiltration by agents of the Iranian regime. In an online statement, the organization said Canada is ill-equipped to deal with such an influx.

Noticing the Muslim slaughter of Christians is ‘Islamophobic’ says the United Nations

On June 22, Muslims murdered 25 Christians — mostly women and children — and wounded nearly 100 more inside a church in Syria.

According to eyewitnesses, one or two armed men entered the Mar Elyas Greek Orthodox Church in Damascus during mass, when it was packed with some 350 worshippers, and indiscriminately opened fire before detonating an explosive belt inside the sanctuary.

“When we got to the church, we found the doorway filled with body parts,” said a relief helper who arrived soon after the attack. Photos showed charred and blood-splattered floors, with shrapnel peppering the church walls.

New York Times Struggles To Explain Why It Reported News To Traumatized Readers

This week, the New York Times experienced an uprising in its ranks and among its readers. The paper was denounced by its own staff and liberal pundits called for the entire editorial staff to be canned.

Why?

Because The New York Times actually reported news that was deemed harmful to the Democrats, specifically Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani. The newspaper took the additional step of publishing a cringing explanation of why it reported the news that Mamdani lied on his Columbia application in claiming to be black.For liberals, it was an utter nightmare. For a party still defined by identity politics, Mamdani’s false claim over his race left many uncertain about how to react.The left has always maintained a high degree of tolerance for false claims by its own leaders, from Sen. Elizabeth Warren claiming to be a native American to Sen. Richard Blumenthal claiming to have served in the Vietnam War.

Inside, Neveeth Raguthas, a GTA tow truck driver, and his sister, Nilakshi, had been shot. Their dog, Lucky, was dead on the floor.
