Trump’s Truth Social forces new users to follow Tommy Robinson

Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform, his closely watched forum for public communication, forces new users to follow the far-Right activist Tommy Robinson.

Accounts that register to the US president’s social media app, which he launched in 2022 after being banned from Facebook and Twitter, are automatically made to follow a list of around 100 users.

It includes Mr Trump, as well as his son Donald Trump Jr, most of the president’s cabinet, and several controversial figures including Robinson.

George Orwell becomes the latest casualty of the woke takeover of schools

George Orwell becomes the latest casualty of the woke takeover of schools

This summer, thousands of teenagers taking one of the UK’s most popular English A-level courses will have the opportunity to write about George Orwell’s groundbreaking exploration of poverty and homelessness.

Down and Out in Paris and London, published in 1933, is still lauded for its unflinching depictions of destitution. One contemporary described it as “a genuine human document, which at the same time is written with so much artistic force that, in spite of the squalor and degradation thus unfolded, the result is curiously beautiful with the beauty of an accomplished etching on copper”.

Why Canada’s homeownership rate is hiding how bad the housing crisis really is

Why Canada’s homeownership rate is hiding how bad the housing crisis really is

Two-thirds of Canadians own their home. That number—66.5 percent in the 2021 Census—is often cited whenever the country debates whether its housing market is working. Taken at face value, it reassures policymakers that the system, whatever its flaws, delivers for the majority. But look beneath the surface, and the number tells a more complicated story.

Statistics Canada recently compared housing outcomes for Millennials, Gen-Xers, and Baby Boomers at the same stage of life. The headline finding was unsurprising but dispiriting: among Millennials aged 25 to 39 in 2021, 16.3 percent were living with their parents—nearly double the 8.2 percent of Baby Boomers in the same age bracket in 1991.

Mamdani-backed DSA House hopeful’s vile hate list: Cops. ‘Liberal Zionism.’ The US. Interracial relationships.

A far-left New York congressional hopeful who just snagged Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s endorsement spewed radical and hateful views online — trashing cops, establishment Democrats and calling the US “a f–ing disgrace.”

Darializa Avila Chevalier’s disturbing social media history came to light as Mamdani on Thursday night shockingly endorsed her bid to unseat five-term incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY).

“I’ve voted in every election since I turned 18 but you out of your mind if you think I’m voting for a war criminal,” she wrote in 2020, using a since-deleted X account.

No deal announced after Trump meeting to make ‘final determination’ on Iran

No deal announced after Trump meeting to make ‘final determination’ on Iran

US President Donald Trump had a meeting with top aides on Friday to make a “final determination” about a framework for extending the ceasefire with Iran, but it concluded without clarity on the next steps.

He said Iran must agree to never have a nuclear weapon or bomb, that the Strait of Hormuz be reopened for “unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions”, and that any mines in the waterway are “destroyed”.

The meeting was held in the White House’s Situation Room, used for dealing with major crises. Iran earlier said it was not negotiating on its nuclear programme – which it insists is wholly for civilian purposes.

Adam Zivo: Survey suggests trans activism is turning off many Canadians, especially minorities

Adam Zivo: Survey suggests trans activism is turning off many Canadians, especially minorities

A new government report, which analyzes recent survey data gathered on gender-based issues, has indirectly confirmed that Canadian support for transgender rights is falling, and that immigrants and ethnic minorities are comparatively conservative on these matters. Though unsurprising, these insights deal yet another blow against the myths of “intersectional” progressivism and make a strong case for further ethnicity-based social research.

Diplomats serve an important role. Here’s why it’s time to declare this U.S. emissary persona non grata says Star

It’s finally time for Prime Minister Mark Carney to declare the U.S. ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra persona non grata. Or, at the very least, call him on the carpet, as he recently did with the Israeli ambassador following Israel’s ruthless attacks on a human rights flotilla that included some Canadians.

This time, Hoekstra’s complete lack of suitability for the job has crossed a red line.

Old people and no children: Pope warns against Europe becoming ‘the old continent’

Old people and no children: Pope warns against Europe becoming ‘the old continent’

On May 25, Pope Leo XIV addressed members of the European Parliament’s Intergroup on Demography at the Vatican with a warning that they risk becoming “the old continent”—not because of its ancient history, but because of its advancing age. Declining birthrates and population aging, according to the Holy Father, are “an urgent challenge with practical implications for millions of people and their families.”
