Outside the gates of Columbia University on Friday afternoon, a man wearing a black balaclava was shouting about Jews.
Security guards, employed to guard the entrance after pro-Palestine students set up an “encampment” at the university in protest of the war in Gaza, looked unmoved by the man’s rant.
“Jews have total control of everything. Inflation is a result of greedy Wall Street Jews,” he shouted, holding a banner depicting an Israeli flag soaked in blood and the word “Nazis”.
David McEvoy was a heroin addict for 30 years before he got sober in the early 2010s. He stayed away from Ottawa’s drug scene after that and was largely ignorant of its dynamics until three years ago, when he began working as an addiction outreach worker specializing in overdose prevention and education.
The issue of temporary foreign workers being used to build the NextStar Energy battery plant in Windsor has bubbled up again with the Canadian Building Trades Union requesting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau intervene in the dispute and the federal Conservatives planning to raise the issue on Parliament Hill.
CBTU executive director Sean Strickland penned a letter to Trudeau earlier this month claiming an increasing number of temporary foreign workers were being used in Windsor. The federal Conservatives also announced Friday they plan to press the issue at the Government Operations’ Committee meeting this week.
Some of the collusion between President Biden and his party’s politicized lawfare campaign against his 2024 Republican opponent is so undeniable it can’t be hidden.
In 1979 the art historian was outed as one of the Cambridge spies recruited by Stalin. Shocking new evidence suggests he may also have passed deadly secrets to the Nazis, Robert Verkaik reports
This is not the story I intended to tell. I set out to write a book about a distant relative, Eddy Verkaik, who had fought in the Dutch resistance during the Second World War. Eddy had helped alert the British to the treachery of a fellow Dutch resistance fighter — a terrifying giant of a man known as “King Kong”: Christiaan Lindemans.
Lindemans had betrayed Operation Market Garden, the ambitious and ill-fated Allied airborne mission that dropped thousands of paratroopers into the Nazi-occupied Netherlands, the 80th anniversary of which falls this September. Had it succeeded, it would have kicked open the door to the heart of Germany and brought the conflict to a speedy end. In the event the Allies lost more than 17,000 men in what was to be their final defeat of the war.
The Nazi cheers of Sieg Heil didn’t start out in Munich, but in Massachusetts.
The Nazi chant was borrowed from Harvard football cheers and imported to Germany by Ernst “Putzi” Hanfstaengl, a Harvard man in good standing who befriended Hitler and helped build a more respectable brand for the National Socialists.
Scheming cardinals are sharpening their knives
The cardinals are already meeting to discuss who should be the next pope. Some of the liberal ones, who feel safe because they’re in favour with the ailing Pope Francis, can be seen comparing notes in a bar near the gates of the Vatican. The conservative cardinals are more nervous: they gather at suppers in each other’s apartments or — if they can trust the fawning waiters not to betray them — in a favourite restaurant.
Israel’s military says it already looked into reports of mass graves and found no wrongdoing by its forces, even as the Biden administration calls for an investigation into the matter.
Over the past few days, U.S. officials, including national security adviser Jake Sullivan, have called for Israel to “thoroughly and transparently” investigate reports of mass graves at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, which Israeli forces last raided in February. The State Department came under fire from advocates for refusing to call for an independent investigation, instead saying the U.S. will press Israel for information.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Canadian government has proposed a new budget, including $42 million in additional funding for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC).
The increased subsides are purportedly to ensure that “Canadians across the country, including rural, remote, Indigenous, and minority language communities, have access to high-quality, independent journalism and entertainment.”
Because nothing fosters “independent journalism” like having the government pay your bills! Canadian taxpayers rejoice!
When I was growing up in the 1950s in Weston-super-Mare, England was largely a middle-class society. The values of the middle class were dictated from above and would work their way down the social ladder. My family may have been on one of that ladder’s lower rungs but we had middle-class values: although my father left school at 16, I never heard him mispronounce a word or make a spelling mistake. People tried to do their job well; they weren’t overly concerned with becoming rich, they just wanted enough money to get by, and live a good life.
The world is sleepwalking towards a depopulation crisis.
Over a decade ago, I led a team of Singapore-based researchers to investigate why families were declining. Back then, we were experiencing a historic shift away from population growth and familial ties, towards individualism. Since then, the post-familial age has entered full swing.
This situation would have been unthinkable in the 1960s, when ‘overpopulation’ was seen as inevitable. In his 1968 book, The Population Bomb, Paul Ehrlich predicted that the number of people on Earth would rocket to unsustainable levels, resulting in global famine.
Students at the University of Washington postponed an anti-Israel demonstration planned for Thursday because too many of the students who signed up are white.
According to MyNorthwest, a Washington-based radio station, the University of Washington’s Progressive Student Union (UWPSU) opted to delay an encampment in solidarity with Palestinian terrorists “to make sure this encampment is a better reflection of the UW community, and having even greater unity with Muslim, Palestinian and Arab students.”
In the nation of ‘Cead Mile Failte’ (a hundred thousand welcomes), the residents of Coolock want to shut the door.
They’ve set up an anti-immigrant camp in the north Dublin suburb, outside a disused factory earmarked to house asylum seekers.
With green, white and orange, they’re staking claim to this ground, their protest tents bedecked with dozens of Irish flags.
Car horns blast every four or five seconds, in response to a large poster reading: “Beep if you support Coolock.”
Another large protest in Coolock today as Ireland says no to mass immigration! #IrelandisFull pic.twitter.com/xrUtkxYLyb

Wanting to protect your family from the predations of a violent illegal alien invader horde is not “racist”.

You couldn’t blame Prime Minister Justin Trudeau if he’s been feeling as downcast and rejected as a hapless magician hired for the children’s party. I mean, what hasn’t he done for the young folk?! In a series of spending and program announcements this month all aimed at Millennials and Gen Z adults, he’s performed the political equivalent of pulling rabbits out of his top hat, making animal balloons, doing the never-ending handkerchief trick with his sleeve, with the grand finale of releasing doves. And what’s the audience reaction? They’re on their phones, watching YouTube videos of Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.
