Our Institutions Exist to Oppose Trump, Right?

The Supreme Court has let us down. The highest court in the land is now a tawdry instrument of Trumpism.

Such is the progressive line in the wake of last week’s oral arguments over Trump’s immunity claim.

In a headline, Slate deemed the arguments “The Last Thing This Supreme Court Could Do to Shock Us.” Salon huffed, “SCOTUS majority abandons conservative principles to mount bizarre defense of Trump’s immunity claim.” One headline at the Atlantic warned of “The Trumpification of the Supreme Court,” while another maintained, “Trump Is Getting What He Wants.”

The first thing to say about this is that, as a technical matter, all indications are that Trump isn’t going to get what he wants; the Court showed little indication that it is going to accept his sweeping claim of immunity.

How I filmed the dark side of Marseilles, crime capital of Europe

In Marseilles’s quartiers nord, teenage drug dealers have one decision to make: wait or run. The boys seem to languish in this perpetual state of flux.

Seventeen-year-old Benze is a chouf — French for lookout. Dressed head to toe in black, hood pulled up, with rainbow-reflective ski glasses hiding half of his face, he looks as if he should be in the Alps. Instead, Benze cuts a small figure dwarfed by a 15-storey tower block. The building looms monstrous and frightening above the plastic and gravel debris at ground level. He describes his role as though reading out a contract: “You can do either half-time or full-time. Part-time is from 11am to 5pm and full-time is from 11am until 2am.”

‘You Have a Beautiful Daughter…’: The Persecution of Christians, March 2024

Russia: On March 22, Muslim terrorists armed with automatic weapons launched an attack on Crocus City Hall near Moscow, massacring at least 139 people and wounding more. Boasting of “killing Christians,” ISIS quickly claimed the attack in a statement that said the assault was intentionally designed to target “thousands of Christians.” Two months earlier, ISIS issued a communique to the “Lions of Islam” — presumably Muslim “avengers” around the world — to terrorize and slaughter Christians and Jews, including by targeting churches and synagogues. An excerpt follows …

How vice consumed Blackpool

Pimps and criminals thrive amid political decay

Every online review for one of Blackpool’s brothels tells a sordid story. “I plan to visit nightly,” writes a punter whose wife has just died. “A depressing hovel,” claims another who took a teddy bear with him. A third admits he was too drunk “to make full use”, but plans to return.

The first time I visit Cookson Street, it is Saturday morning and, despite its reputation, there are no red lights: just a string of boarded-up shops and a building site at the end of the road. A new “Civil Service Hub” for 3,000 relocated government workers is nearing completion. Around the corner, a Royal British Legion club stands opposite a gay sauna. Which, I wonder, will the civil servants prefer?

European and British Muslims are calling for a new caliphate

Birmingham England

Even before 2015, Europe, including the UK, has opened its doors to Turkey, North Africa, and the Middle East. Part of it was leftist guilt about colonialism, and part of it was the need for labor to make up for a Western population that had stopped having children. Then, in 2015, Angela Merkel opened the floodgates to the only people who hate Jews, Christians, and Western Civ more than Hitler and his Nazis did. Now, Europe and the UK are reaping what they sowed, as the Muslims nearing critical mass in those nations push for a caliphate. Their confidence in making this demand is reasonable, given their rising population and the West’s strong support for Hamas.

Why Are Women in America Cheering for Hamas and Iran?

These pro-Jihad protests are one way to escape the ongoing female realities in the West.

Have you noticed that young women all across America are demonstrating for Hamas, Iran, and Palestine? Why would such privileged and educated women, the heirs to the #MeToo movement and to Second and Third Wave Western feminisms, cheer for male rapists and male killers, arguably the most blood-thirsty and sadistic misogynists this side of Ghenghis Khan? Why side with Islamist barbarians who have jailed, tortured, and executed their own women over a slipped Islamic veil, and who would forcibly convert their Western female admirers to Islam, veil them as well, and coerce them into polygamous marriages?

Ilhan Omar: Jewish students should be safe ‘whether they are pro-genocide or anti-genocide’

Omar’s remarks about Jewish students came while visiting Columbia University on Friday.

We must get US masses to care about Israel

… But most Americans are in the middle. They don’t care much about anything. They not only do not know where Gaza is, but they do not know what Hamas stands for, or what Hamas holds holy. If you told them, they would probably listen – just like they would listen to the detractors. And their takeaway would be that a keffiyeh makes a very attractive scarf.

When people stop caring, they stop caring about everything. “Right” and “wrong,” “evil” and “justice” become just words. Issues-based dialogue and decisions become less relevant, often even totally irrelevant.

These Canadians made the ultimate sacrifice in Ukraine — in relative anonymity

Two Quebecers who joined the war in Ukraine to make a difference in the world and in their own lives died in February and March.

Alain Derasp was a 49-year-old father of four from Chicoutimi who served 26 years in the Canadian military as a member of the Royal 22nd Regiment, with tours in Afghanistan and Bosnia-Herzegovina. He volunteered for two years in Ukraine, teaching first-aid training to soldiers. He died of a heart attack in late February after contracting pneumonia.

I read Stephen Marche’s NYTimes article on Trudeau and …

Justin Trudeau Is No Match for a Polarized World

Political careers often end in failure — a cliché that exists because it too often happens to be true. Justin Trudeau, one of the world’s great progressive leaders, may be heading toward that moment. In a recent interview he acknowledged that every day he considers leaving his “crazy job” as Canada’s prime minister. Increasingly, the question is not if he will leave but how soon and how deep his failure will be when he goes.

This is a blowjob not an article.
