If Muslims are desperate to take offence, why disappoint them?

I’M NOT sure that this is a good use of the Government’s time, what with the war and everything, but now it has made sure that our overseas territories are either unprotected or given away, and that we remain the most unreliable actor on the international stage, it has got back to doing the thing that it does best: interfering where it’s not wanted. This time by inventing concepts.

Under the impression that it has a mandate to run the English language along with the country, the regime has refreshed its approach to policing what we can say (and therefore think) by creating a definition of ‘Islamophobia’, a word which most of us thought was (at best) a neologism anyway.

China Voted Against the World on Fentanyl. Days Later, It Announced a Perfunctory Crackdown.

WASHINGTON — One week after the United States publicly shamed Beijing as the only nation in the world to vote against a United Nations resolution targeting the fentanyl precursor supply chain, China’s Hubei Province has announced a series of enforcement actions that typifies the pattern of cosmetic compliance that has allowed the Chinese Communist Party’s structural role in the global fentanyl trade to persist unchallenged.

6 Squad Members, Including 2 Muslims, Lose in Illinois Dem Primaries

Everyone is trying to read the tea leaves for the midterms. Democrats have been hyping their wins in very specialized races. And the Left has been declaring that it’s going to finish devouring and digesting the Democrats.

On paper, it should be looking good. The public is dissatisfied. The Left’s program of socialism disguised as economic populism and antisemitism disguised as anti-Zionism should be selling. Except the Illinois wipeout suggests it’s not.

I hope it gains momentum.

GOLDSTEIN: Can Canada’s chief justice be objective about the Freedom Convoy?

The federal government, which has twice lost its legal argument that its use of the Emergencies Act to end the Freedom Convoy protests in early 2022 was justified, is now asking for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.

The high court may or may not decide to hear it, but it it does, past comments by Supreme Court Chief Justice Richard Wagner condemning the Freedom Convoy will raise the question of whether he can be objective.

Islam is getting more assertive

Muslims desecrate public spaces with Satanic rituals

It’s not ‘Islamophobic’ to feel unsettled by these mass displays of religiosity in shared public spaces.

Of all the attractions of central London, a mass Islamic call to prayer is not one you would find listed in most guidebooks. But that is nonetheless the spectacle that more than a few perplexed tourists would have found themselves witnessing on Monday night in Trafalgar Square. Beneath Nelson’s Column, in front of the National Gallery, a large crowd of Muslims knelt in pious observance. There, facing the St-Martin-in-the-Fields church, London mayor Sadiq Khan and a few hundred fellow Muslims performed a public adhan to mark the end of Ramadan.

Trump’s jaw-dropping response to Japanese reporter’s Iran war question leaves Oval Office stunned: ‘Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?’

President Donald Trump gave a shocking response when asked during his Oval Office meeting with the Japanese prime minister on Thursday why he didn’t reveal to allies his Iran war plans.

‘You don’t want to signal too much … we wanted surprise,’ Trump answered.

‘Who knows better about surprise than Japan?’ he said. ‘Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor!’

Sylvain Charlebois: A plan to slowly wean Canada off supply management

Many Canadians want supply management in dairy abolished — full stop. And on the surface, it’s not difficult to understand why. Canada prides itself on being a market-driven economy, yet supply management sits uncomfortably within that narrative. The system is rooted less in classical free-market economics than in institutional and interventionist policy traditions — more John Maynard Keynes than Adam Smith.

The Islamists are winning

Batley School Blasphemy Protest Islam Muslims UK

On the evening of July 7, 2005, Tony Blair sought to reassure a shattered nation with the following promise. The terrorists, he vowed, would never win. “When they try to intimidate us, we will not be intimidated,” declared the then prime minister. “When they seek to change our country or our way of life by these methods, we will not be changed.”

Stirring words. Sadly, however, they proved to be flatly untrue. Two decades later, it’s becoming ever clearer that the terrorists are indeed winning, that we are indeed intimidated, and that they have indeed succeeded in changing our country and our way of life. And if anyone doubts it, let me point out that we are about to pass the fifth anniversary of one of the most contemptible episodes in modern British history: the driving from public life of the Batley schoolteacher.

Are US and Israel aligned on Iran war? Deciphering Trump’s post after gas field attacks

US President Donald Trump has issued a typically strongly worded statement in the wake of attacks on a major gas field shared by Iran and Qatar on Wednesday.

Israel hit Iran’s South Pars – part of the world’s largest natural gas field – and Tehran retaliated by striking an energy complex in Qatar. The attacks led to a spike in energy prices, and fuelled Trump’s wrath.

On his Truth Social media platform, Trump threatened Iran again and said he didn’t know about Israel’s plans for the attack.


Netanyahu dismisses suggestion US and Israel are out of sync

Prime Minister Netanyahu was seeking to pour cold water on any suggestion that Israel had influence over Donald Trump’s decision to launch Operation Epic Fury in Iran.

In the US, there has been considerable domestic debate over the reasons why the US entered this war, and the role Israel played.

Defence minister ‘didn’t know’ about Iran strike on base housing Canadians until after media report

Defence Minister David McGuinty said he did not know about a strike on an air base in Kuwait where members of the Canadian Armed Forces were stationed until after it was first reported by a media outlet.

“No, I didn’t know about it before La Presse reported on it,” McGuinty said Thursday in a response to a question about whether he knew about the strike before the story was published, in a press conference in Kitchener, Ont.

That inspires confidence.

Calling the Iran War a Quagmire Now is Ludicrous

Anti-Trump voices on the left, and some anti-war voices on the right, are already calling the Iran War a “quagmire”— after less than three weeks of fighting. Whether you opposed or supported the U.S.–Israeli war against Iran when it was launched on Feb. 28, 2026, to contend that it has descended into a quagmire after 18 days of mostly overwhelming U.S. and Israeli military success betrays advanced stages of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Ironically, some of these same voices — intellectuals like William Kristol and Robert Kagan — served as cheerleaders for the Iraq War, an actual quagmire that they supported year after year despite its seemingly endless nature.
