Nolte: Spencer Pratt or Dystopia — Today Is Do or Die in Los Angeles

Despite all the cheating, corruption, and influencing, America is still a representative republic, as is the failed city of Los Angeles. Sure, Democrats might own the public unions, use NGOs as slush funds, benefit from billion-dollar super PACs known as Hollywood and the news media, and win the wink-wink mail-in voting.

Still, though, when all is said and done, even those individual union members, the NGO employees, and those who work in media and entertainment get to choose what kind of city they want to live in — and today we will find out.

Jamie Sarkonak: How a Jamaican man remained in Canada years after robbing sex workers

Jamie Sarkonak: How a Jamaican man remained in Canada years after robbing sex workers

In 2019, Jamaican national Dwayne Marlon Douglas committed a number of vile acts. He held a gun to the head of a sex worker as three of his male companions took turns having sex with her; then, he had his way too.

Days after that, he pistol-whipped a man with an imitation handgun, stole his phone and other valuables, and threatened to kill him if he reported the robbery to police. He also robbed a female erotic masseuse in a stairwell around the same time, stealing $4,300 worth of items; after she reported the crime, he told her she was in “trouble.” He also distributed nude photographs of his girlfriend for money without her consent.

Canada considers cancelling part of U.S. F-35 order to buy 60 Swedish Gripen fighters.

Canada considers cancelling part of U.S. F-35 order to buy 60 Swedish Gripen fighters.

Canada is considering a major overhaul of its fighter modernization plan, according to a May 30, 2026, report by La Presse, indicating Ottawa may replace much of its planned 88 F-35 fleet with roughly 60 Saab Gripen fighters while retaining 30 F-35As. This potential shift to a Canada mixed fighter fleet aims to reduce reliance on US defense supply chains and political leverage while preserving core fifth-generation capabilities for NORAD and NATO operations.

‘Like a Klingon prison’: inside Barack Obama’s audacious, near-windowless, $850m presidential library

‘Like a Klingon prison’: inside Barack Obama’s audacious, near-windowless, $850m presidential library

The Egyptians had their pyramids. The Anglo-Saxons had their barrows. And the Americans have their presidential libraries – the chief difference being that the leaders the US venerates are usually still alive at the opening.

Lacking a royal family or a state religion, the US presidency has swelled to fill the void, transforming over the decades into a national personality cult, complete with its own secular temples to these powerful men. The latest pharaonic edifice is about to open on Chicago’s south side, where it looms on the skyline as a towering totem to the 44th president, Barack Obama. He might have seemed humble in office, but in his post-presidential, Netflix-producing afterlife, Obama has erected the largest, costliest and most audacious complex of them all. Behold the $850m Obamalisk – or, as it sometimes feels morbidly like, the Obamausoleum.

Mark Carney had a blithe response to the departure of a star Liberal. Here’s why he may regret it

Mark Carney had a blithe response to the departure of a star Liberal. Here’s why he may regret it

When reporters asked Mark Carney about Steven Guilbeault’s decision to quit the Liberal caucus and his seat, months after walking out of cabinet over the Alberta MOU, the Prime Minister was gracious. He wished him and his family well. As reported by Radio-Canada, Carney said: “C’est sa décision, c’est normal, c’est la vie” — it’s his decision, it’s normal, that’s life.

Carney came to office with a French that even friendly observers called tentative. But a Prime Minister saying “c’est la vie” about a cabinet minister leaving over principle is a careful and deliberate choice of words. There’s no apology in it, no spin. It says: this is what needed to happen in this moment, and yes, people will leave.


Carney is simply a bit smarter and bit more subtle than screaming meemee Guilbeault.

Jesse Kline: Carney admits antisemitism ‘crisis,’ but won’t do much about it

Jesse Kline: Carney admits antisemitism ‘crisis,’ but won’t do much about it

TORONTO — Prime Minister Mark Carney is good at saying all the right things, as he did during a speech on combating antisemitism at Toronto’s Holy Blossom Temple on Monday afternoon. But talk is cheap. In terms of actual policy prescriptions, Carney might as well have held up a white flag and admitted he has no idea what to do.

In a prerecorded message preceding Carney’s address, the synagogue’s chief rabbi, Yael Splansky, called on Canada to “make good on its promise of peace, order and good government,” noting that, “When hate is tolerated, it grows … when laws are not enforced, permission is granted and lawlessness escalates.


Carney has no shame.

Carney’s logic seems to work this way: My elite pals caused this mess by importing antisemitic cultures, turning our education system into an ideological fever swamp and allowing the Church of Latter Day Brownshirts to turn our streets into a giant Nazi cosplay all the while criminalizing dissent  as “Islamophobic”.

Who better than they to take care of the Jews?

‘My 15-year-old relative was killed for refusing to marry her cousin. My family celebrated by dancing in the street’

The men of my tribe [extended family] threw my relative Kawthar Bashar al-Husayjawi, 15, into a pit and put a little dirt over her body. They had killed her hours earlier with 10 bullets, and split her small head with an axe. My family then joined others in coming on to the streets to dance and celebrate her death.

Kawthar lived in al-Nahrawan, a district in the south-east of Baghdad. She had been taken out of school and at age 13 forced to marry an alcoholic years older than her.

Federal poll finds nearly half of Canadians think country takes ‘too many immigrants’

Federal poll finds nearly half of Canadians think country takes ‘too many immigrants’

OTTAWA — A survey commissioned by the federal government late last year suggests nearly half of Canadians believe the country is admitting too many immigrants — but the share of respondents who think so has dropped since last year’s polling.

The survey found 47 per cent of respondents believe “too many” immigrants are coming to Canada, while 38 per cent say “about the right amount” are coming.

A similar government poll conducted in late 2024 reported 54 per cent of respondents saying that “too many” immigrants were coming to Canada.


I bet the poll respondents in favour of immigration are foreigners.
