LA protests expose the new battle lines on immigration

California’s biggest city is no stranger to riots but the response to Trump’s migrant arrests shows civil disorder is now integral to urban politics — and both Democrats and Republicans are out to exploit that

Somewhere in Malibu, a mortician prepares Brian Wilson for his last performance. The California of the Beach Boys is long gone. The California of Silicon Valley is going — to Texas, where Elon Musk has moved Tesla’s headquarters; to Washington, where Big Tech is now fusing with Big Government; and down into a spiral of debt, dysfunction and disorder.

California used to be the world’s blue-sky future. Now it is America’s darkening present. The scenes from downtown Los Angeles are shocking but not surprising. If, as I did, you lived in a Democratic city in a Democratic state in the decade between the advent of the Occupy movement in 2011 and the apotheosis of George Floyd in the summer of 2020, you are accustomed to rioters burning cars and throwing stones, looters ransacking the Adidas and Apple stores, and police firing tear gas. This is how American politics now works.

Pentagon has plan to take Greenland ‘by force if necessary’

Pete Hegseth revealed the Pentagon has drafted plans to take Greenland and Panama “by force if necessary”.

The defence secretary let slip the existence of the contingency plans during a heated exchange with Democrat Representative Adam Smith.

During a congressional hearing on Thursday, Mr Smith asked Mr Hegseth if it is “the policy of the department of defence that we need to be prepared to take Greenland and Panama by force if necessary”.

Second-class dads: Why are family courts still siding against fathers?

Mike Smith played basketball at university, went to nationals a few times, and today is a successful executive in Halifax. But his charmed life was upended when his marriage collapsed and his access to his three children evaporated.

Seven years ago, he and his wife of nearly two decades had an intense verbal fight. His wife left the house, called the police and reported Smith had a mental health disorder. According to his telling, when they arrived he was given an hour to vacate the premises or face arrest. When he initially challenged the demand, one of the officers told him, “She wants to come home with the children.”

Trump Overturns California’s Authoritarian Ban On Gas Cars

President Donald Trump overturned California’s authoritarian ban on gas-powered vehicles on Thursday, signing a resolution approved by Congress last month.

California became the first state in the nation to pursue a phase-out of gas-powered cars, attempting to halt all new sales by 2035 and effectively force its citizens to purchase electric vehicles. After Trump’s move, Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., who is currently letting Los Angeles burn by not responding to riots there, signed a reciprocal order reaffirming the ban, while Rob Bonta, the state’s far-left attorney general, filed a lawsuit against the move.

Ballymena may be a taste of things to come

Another community in flames. Masonry and Molotov cocktails thrown at police. A leisure centre, believed to be housing migrants, set ablaze by a bigoted mob. Stop me if you think you’ve heard this one before.

This week, Ballymena in County Antrim, Northern Ireland became the latest town within these troubled isles to be ripped apart by fear, loathing and rioting – sparked by an alleged crime committed by migrants.

The FBI’s Role in America’s Next Jihad

How you let a sleeper cell stay warm.

Have you ever wondered if the FBI is compromised? Weaponized? Crooked—not just against criminals, but against us?

What if I told you they had a jihadi, caught cold—explosives, martyrdom pledges, ISIS communications, blueprints to kill Americans—and they let him go.

Not because they didn’t know. But because they didn’t want to act. Maybe they’ll tell you they were building a bulletproof case. But the reality is—they were protecting a lie.

Record flood of investors behind Canada’s housing crisis

Douglas Todd: Canada’s distorted housing market calls for more than ‘cranes on the skyline,’ given that investors now own one in three homes. There are other ways.

This week three of four Canadians declared they have no confidence in Prime Minister Mark Carney’s ideas for solving the country’s housing affordability crisis.

Like most premiers and mayors, Carney is promising to “build, baby, build” to stimulate a record amount of housing construction. But Angus Reid Institute polling suggests the public is more than skeptical, perhaps in despair.

While voters understandably get lost in the complexities of solving a house-price catastrophe that sees average prices at a ridiculous $1.2 million in Greater Vancouver and $1.1 million in Toronto, at least one veteran housing analyst is making a clear and devastating case that Canada’s dilemma is being significantly fanned by a wave of investors.

White first-aid dummies ‘show Police Scotland institutionally racist’

One of Scotland’s most senior police officers cited the use of white first-aid training dummies as evidence that Police Scotland was “institutionally racist”, it has been claimed.

Calum Steele, a former general secretary of the Scottish Police Federation, said the claim had been made more than once as part of a “self-flagellation” from a force reliant on lobby groups for advice and approval.

Santa Clara University’s Crazy Idea of Human Sexuality

I’m a graduate student in marriage and family therapy at Santa Clara University, a Jesuit institution. Recently, I walked out of class. Prof. Chongzheng Wei had just played a video of a female “influencer” engaging in sexual bondage activity. When the lights came up, the professor smiled and asked if we wanted to try it ourselves. Maybe it was a crass joke to break the tension, but I didn’t want to find out if a live demonstration was next.

What began as a simple accommodation request in a required course called Human Sexuality turned into a case study in the reshaping of therapy training—not by science but by critical theory, a worldview that filters human experience through left-wing assumptions about power, oppression and identity, particularly regarding race, “gender” and sexuality.
