Why the Sinaloa Cartel May Never Be the Same Again

CULIACÁN, Mexico—Even Jesús Malverde, the patron saint of drug traffickers, has fallen victim to the vicious turf war ripping apart Mexico’s biggest producer and smuggler of fentanyl.

Since the Sinaloa cartel’s two main factions turned on each other five months ago, a chill has descended on this city of gated communities, luxury malls and illicit drug labs. Few pilgrims now dare to venture out to the shrine of the mustachioed Malverde, a legendary early 20th century bandit credited with miraculous powers. On a recent day, not a single person had spent the $1 it costs to buy a candle to place before his image in thanks for a successful drug run across the border to the U.S.

“Nobody comes anymore,” said Luz María González, minding a small stand full of offerings, incense and statues of the folk saint.

The civil-rights movement failed – Integration and multiculturalism served black elites

The heroes of Black History Month are the familiar leaders of the civil-rights movement: Thurgood Marshall, Rosa Parks, John Lewis, Ella Baker, and, of course, Martin Luther King Jr. Every February, we celebrate these men and women for championing the self-evident: racial segregation was immoral, integration a moral imperative. Law finally caught up with morality when the “separate but equal” doctrine was overturned in Brown v. Board of Education, forcing school integration.

Yet something seems off about these pieties in 2025. Against a backdrop of broad discontent with liberalism, including among black Americans increasingly drawn to Trumpism, it’s worth returning to a provocative set of questions posed by the black writer Harold Cruse in the wake of civil rights: what if separate but equal contained a good idea, a better idea than advocating for racial integration above all else? Shouldn’t black activism focus on building the capacity of black communities, rather than looking to open up opportunities for the black elite?

Movie Adds Muslims to Story of ‘William Tell’ for Diversity

Switzerland needs to be more diverse and apparently a movie about the life of William Tell also needs to be more diverse. Someone took a look at the legend of William Tell and decided, “this needs more Muslims.”

And there we are.

The new movie adaptation of the legend of William Tell throws in some added material by giving him a Muslim family.

Canada’s Reckless Immigration Policies – A robust security-first approach could restore credibility to Canada’s border management, now the most dangerous in the hemisphere.

In the shadows of Canada’s progressive image lies an unsettling truth: for decades, the country has operated as a revolving door for the world’s most dangerous individuals. While its leaders drape themselves in virtue, professing an open-arms approach to immigration, the consequences of their recklessness have landed squarely on the doorsteps of both Canada and the United States.

The cracks in this illusion are no longer hypothetical. They are now real, violent, and all too frequent. Whether through terrorist sympathizers who slip through the system unchecked or human smugglers exploiting the vast northern border, the consequences of Canada’s willful negligence are becoming impossible to ignore.

Justine Bateman and the return of the 1980s

The New York Times is afraid that the 1980s are coming back.

In a recent column, “The 1980s are back, and not in a good way,” writer Elizabeth Spires lamented that President Donald Trump has brought back the era of greed, when “being rich and preppy looked cool.” As in the Reagan era, young people are “rejecting the progressive politics of their elders.” Even fashions taken on “a slightly modernized 80s look.”

Sam Fender is right about white privilege

Teaching working-class young men that they benefit from ‘white privilege’ is having a detrimental effect on a generation of boys, leading to feelings of negativity and worthlessness, and driving them into the hands of dangerous influencers such as Andrew Tate.

This is the claim made by Sam Fender, the best-selling, 30-year-old musician from North Shields. As the singer told the Sunday Times yesterday, this teaching has resulted in boys from poor white backgrounds being ‘made to feel like they’re a problem’, with those from ‘nowhere towns’ being ‘shamed’ and told they weren’t underprivileged because of their skin colour. Consequently, this constant disparagement is leading many to seek consolation in misogynist online narratives, where people like Tate – whom Fender calls a ‘demagogue psycho’ – reassure them that are ‘worth something’.

RUBENSTEIN: Kamloops still wallows in false accusations

On February 12, Parks Canada announced the designation of the Kamloops, B.C. Indian Residential School as a national historic site but omitted any reference to the alleged graves containing 215 missing children in an adjoining apple orchard, according to Blacklocks Reporter.

This claim is misleading. The “215 missing children” refers to a May 27, Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc (legally known as the Kamloops Indian Band) press statement of seismic implications, literally and figuratively. A ground-penetrating radar survey of the area surrounding the city’s former Indian Residential School, the band claimed, had located the “remains of 215 children who were students” of the school.

Terry Newman: Carney did not protect Canadians from the 2008 financial crisis

Recently, Mark Carney sat back and failed to negate the claim that he deserved credit for having saved Canadian banks from the misadventures of our American neighbours during the 2008 financial crisis. Carney can claim no such credit. In actuality, there are historical reasons for Canada’s lack of vulnerability to such financial upsets, including a divergent institutional pathway and regulatory changes recommended by Canadian Supreme Court Judge Willard Estey that safeguarded Canada’s banking system from the financial crisis.

Trump says he’s moving forward with tariffs on Canada and Mexico next week

WASHINGTON – Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said Monday that Canada needs to send the message it will “fight back” after U.S. President Donald Trump said steep tariffs on Canadian and Mexican products are indeed coming next week.

In a press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House on Monday, Trump was asked directly whether he was moving ahead with levies against America’s closest neighbours.

“The tariffs are going forward on time, on schedule,” Trump said.

It looks like we’re going to have a Poilievre-Carney race. Here’s what it will come down to

A few assumptions to start.

Mark Carney will handily win the federal Liberal party’s nomination, become Prime Minister, and march — more or less straightaway — into Rideau Hall to ask the Governor General to call an election.

During the contest that follows, U.S. President Donald Trump will not suddenly decide to take his foot off the gas. He will continue to bully, intimidate, and harass Canada. He will impose more tariffs, dangle new threats, and heighten economic pressure. He will continue his campaign of extranational humiliation.

In other words, the current crisis will not just persist — it will escalate.

The Pashas of Public School

It’s a state religion.
The priests are teachers’ unions, bureaucrats, education academics, and “equity consultants.” It doesn’t even pretend to be ideologically neutral anymore: Children are taught gender ideology starting in the fifth grade, but may graduate unable to read at grade level. They will learn that America is evil, but never even hear about the Federalist Papers. Canadian students won’t recognize a Bible story, but will be fluent in climate activism and “decolonization.” Heretics are punished by the Holy Office of Human Resources.

Inside the Mojave Desert train heists targeting Nike sneakers

The thieves stealthily board eastbound freight trains, hiding out until they reach lonely stretches of the Mojave Desert or high plains far from towns. They slash an air brake hose, causing the mile-long line of railcars to screech to an emergency stop.

Then, they go shopping.

That’s the modus operandi described by investigators in a string of at least 10 heists targeting BNSF trains in California and Arizona since last March. All but one resulted in the theft of Nike sneakers, their combined value approaching $2 million, according to investigators.
