As a student of history, I am struck by the rise and fall of civilizations on this small celestial body we call Earth. Empires have come and gone. Kingdoms have risen in confidence and collapsed in corruption. And today, whether we care to admit it or not, we stand at the edge of the possible unravelling of what may well be the greatest civilization humanity has ever produced: the modern West.
One of the worst “narratives” about Venezuela’s dictatorship revolves around whether the socialist hellhole is a narcostate, justifying President Trump’s emerging military buildup in the Caribbean, including Naval strikes on speedboats transferring state-produced cocaine to the U.S. If the Venezuelan state is, it’s a narcostate.
The Democrat-deep state-news media complex has been spreading the piece-by-piece narrative that they aren’t.
The failure of feminists to disavow Dworkin reveals the movement’s extreme misandry
A friend wrote a couple of days ago to say that he had seen shiny new copies of works by feminist author Andrea Dworkin (1946-2005) in Munro’s Books, one of Canada’s premier independent bookstores. One of the books was positioned on a shelf with the cover facing out to indicate that it was being showcased.
It is both shocking and unsurprising that Picador Books decided to reprint three of Dworkin’s texts in the past year, calling her a “prescient and visionary writer” who was “ahead of her time.” Anti-male paranoia is a sanctioned, cultivated taste more popular now, perhaps, than ever before, and Andrea Dworkin is its most notorious propagandist.
A program intended to replace the entire stock of the Canadian military’s aging assault rifles is being sped up, CBC News has learned.
An internal Department of National Defence presentation references a move to quickly order the first tranche of weapons under the Canadian Modular Assault Rifle program.
The commander of the Canadian Army, Lt.-Gen. Mike Wright, confirmed in an interview with CBC News that the program, which has languished on the books for years, will now proceed with speedy delivery expected from a Canadian manufacturer.
We are asking schools to act like prisons because we are raising children who behave like inmates. A fight at North Forsyth High School in Winston-Salem, North Carolina made headlines in recent days, because what would have once been a routine scuffle amongst teenage boys turned deadly. It was the last altercation of one boy, because a teenager drove a knife into his classmate, causing the wounded boy to stagger away for a few steps before collapsing. He died not long after.
The release of Donald Trump’s National Security Strategy (NSS) has provoked a furious reaction from Europe’s legacy media and centrist political leaders. One Guardian commentator went so far as to assert that Trump has ‘declared civilisational war on Europe’.
Menace, addiction and human despair have overwhelmed small towns and cities. Some say it’s getting worse. Some just want to leave.
ST. CATHARINES, Ont. — Gigi and Nick are stoking a fire on the right bank of Twelve Mile Creek. It is the sunset hour in St. Catharines, Ont., but the atmosphere is damp and heavy from a November morning rain.
There is not another soul in sight, down here in the riverside parklands below a street called Gale Crescent, a few blocks east of downtown. For kindling, Gigi has scavenged an armful of twigs from the municipal shrubbery. She stacks it inside a makeshift hearth of flagstones and tries to get it to catch, but the twigs are wet and will not accept the flame from Nick’s pocket lighter.
NATO chief Mark Rutte has warned that war with Russia ‘is at our door’ as he urged European allies to prepare for action now or risk facing a conflict on the scale ‘our grandparents and great-grandparents endured’.
Speaking in Berlin on Thursday, Rutte said too many NATO members remained ‘quietly complacent’ about the threat posed by Moscow and insisted Europe must urgently ramp up defence spending and weapons production to deter Vladimir Putin.
‘We are Russia’s next target,’ he said. I fear that too many are quietly complacent. Too many don’t feel the urgency.
Jennifer Welch’s rise isn’t mysterious. It just looks that way to Democratic elites confused by a failed-reality-star-turned-podcaster commanding real influence. The reason is that she’s not interested in their rules.
The line “when they go low, we go high” defined how party leaders wanted to be seen during the first Trump administration. As technology kept eroding legacy media’s power, MAGA set about building parallel institutions. The Left, by contrast, stayed inside the gates, relying on the power it already held.
Who the heck is this Jennifer Welch person? What a nasty, foul human being.
She is the insufferable one! Insulting women, Christians, calling Riley a b!tch just for daring to stand up for women and girls.
How dare she call herself a feminist. Evil.

So, thousands of Shared Services Canada (SSC) employees had to forgo coffee breaks and lunches during the month-long Ramadan 2025 to spare a few fasting Muslim coworkers from feeling uncomfortable.
Managers were instructed to schedule key meetings and chats around times when fasting “energy levels were low.” Work wasn’t to interfere with their pre-dawn and post-sunset Suhoor and Iftar meals.

Ontario MP Michael Ma announced Thursday that he is leaving the Conservative caucus and joining the Liberals.
Ma said in a statement that he made the decision after listening to his constituents in the riding of Markham-Unionville in the Greater Toronto Area.
“This is a time for unity and decisive action for Canada’s future,” he wrote.
Such nationalists are persecuting Christians in India with “vigilante violence, targeted and arbitrary killings, and demolition of property and places of worship.”
Religious persecution remains a global scourge, and America’s nominal friends are sometimes as bad as its adversaries. Such as India, in which religious minorities suffer greatly under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling Hindu Nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party. The country’s underlying intolerant attitudes have been highlighted by recent Hindu nationalist criticism of Vice President JD Vance’s Catholic faith.
Whether Mark Carney’s sweetheart deal with Alberta will lead to the defeat of his minority government is, admittedly, an interesting question.
But arguably even more interesting (not to mention important) is this question: Will Carney’s deal move us — and the rest of the world — a little closer to climate Armageddon?
Sadly, the answer is, unequivocably, yes.
