Muslim housing development under investigation by US government

A Muslim housing development in Texas is under investigation by the Justice Department amid concerns it would “violate the constitutional rights of Jewish and Christian Americans”.

The proposed development, put forward by the East Plano Islamic Centre (Epic), is touted as a “thriving ecosystem” that “paves the way for prosperity” and would be centred around a mosque and a private Islamic school.

Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, accused the planner of creating an exclusively Muslim community that would impose Islamic law on residents.

Chicago Public Schools Pays $2.6M For Allegedly Forcing Students To Participate In Hindu Ritual

When a school program tells students not to tell their religious parents about an activity, there is a problem. That is what reportedly happened in Chicago Public Schools when it allegedly forced students to practice Hindu-based Transcendental Meditation (TM) twice a day.

This week the Chicago Board of Education and the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace settled a class action lawsuit, agreeing to pay out $2.6 million to former Chicago Public Schools high school students who say they were forced to participate in TM for 15-20 minutes in the morning and again in the afternoon.

‘There’s a “Hunger Games” aspect to it’: Liberal insiders brace for Mark Carney’s cabinet appointments

OTTAWA — With a successful election and a high-stakes trip to Washington behind him, Prime Minister Mark Carney is grappling with a tangle of considerations and big decisions as he launches his first governing mandate for Canada’s incoming minority Parliament.

In the coming days, the Liberal prime minister is expected to name a chief of staff and choose key players in his office, shuffle his cabinet on Tuesday, and try to advance a series of governing priorities under the shadow of Donald Trump’s trade war. Having won a seat for the first time in the April 28 federal election, Carney will also enter the House of Commons later this month as a parliamentary novice whose party — with 169 seats at the latest count — is just shy of a majority, prompting speculation the Liberals might convince opposition MPs to cross the floor and strengthen the government’s hand.

India, Pakistan and the globalisation of ethnic conflict

Brampton Hanuman escalates Indian GTA response by torching a halal butcher

It was a pleasant sunny afternoon in Pahalgam, a small, picturesque tourist destination in Indian-administered Kashmir. Locals were mingling, and sightseers relaxing. That was until several gunmen emerged from a nearby forest. They quickly confronted the tourists and sought to determine whether they were Muslims or not by asking them to recite an Islamic verse. Those who failed the test were shot dead. Twenty-six people were killed in total before the gunmen melted away, back into the forest.

Are we heading for another world war – or has it already started?

In a week in which former allies in a redividing globe separately commemorated the 80th anniversary of the end of the second world war, the sense of a runaway descent towards a third world war draws ever closer.

The implosion of Pax Americana, the interconnectedness of conflicts, the new willingness to resort to unbridled state-sponsored violence and the irrelevance of the institutions of the rules-based order have all been on brutal display this week. From Kashmir to Khan Younis, Hodeidah, Port Sudan and Kursk, the only sound is of explosions, and the only lesson is that the old rules no longer apply.

Indeed Fiona Hill, the policy analyst and adviser to the UK government on its imminent strategic defence review, argues the third world war has already started, if only we would recognise it.

A Canada-China embrace?

Now-former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau famously complimented China’s government.

Newly installed Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is a globalist who has frequently criticized his American counterpart, President Donald Trump.

Though Canada and China have had their difficulties, some reports indicate that the two nations are ready to “move forward” in their relationship.


It may be that the US knows how deep China is into Canada and seeks to eradicate the threat by annexing Beijing’s outpost.

Justin Trudeau’s rapper son moans in astonishingly entitled way as he sets out to prove he’s NOT a nepo baby

Justin Trudeau’s 17 year-old rapper son says it was ‘unfulfilling’ to live in a taxpayer-funded mansion, have bodyguards and meet countless A-List stars.

Xavier Trudeau has embarked on a journey to become an R&B artist and spoken about his famous father to promote his music – while insisting he’s not a nepo baby.

Days after releasing his third single, titled Back Me Up, the teen hopped in a car with food review influencer G Hobs to discuss his childhood growing up as the prime minister’s eldest son.

So hard done by!

Fed-up AOC constituents in Bronx, Queens mock absentee ‘rock star’ who’s never in the district

Frustration with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has reached a breaking point on her home turf, with fed up Queens and Bronx constituents telling The Post they’re sick and tired of being second fiddle to the jet-setting socialist’s primary focus — herself.

Her district offices in the Bronx and Queens offer little to justify the $1.9 million the congresswoman gets to run them — one is only open a single weekday and the other is closed on Fridays, with phones that go unanswered and constituents urged to discuss their problems “by appointment only.”
