Members of MS-13, now a Foreign Terrorist Org, prosecuted for brutal murders, fentanyl trafficking

Federal, state and local law enforcement officers continue to target Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) U.S.-Salvadoran transnational gang members nationwide.

MS-13 was designated as a foreign terrorist organization earlier this year. The gang originated in Los Angeles in the 1980s to protect Salvadoran illegal foreign nationals but later expanded its criminal enterprise. Its members engage in “campaigns of violence and terror in the United States and internationally” and present “an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States,” President Donald Trump said in a June MS-13 FTO order.

Ontario and Quebec are poorer than Louisiana and 42 other states: Report

The per capita purchasing power of most American states far exceeds that of Canadian provinces, with Ontario and Quebec ranking near the bottom of the list, well behind Tennessee, Georgia, Wyoming, and North Dakota.

Ontarians are poorer on average than Americans from 43 states, including those from New Mexico, Montana, South Carolina, Louisiana, Nebraska, and Missouri, according to new Statistics Canada data and the U.S. Bureau of Economics. The data was compiled by Hub contributor and University of Calgary economist Trevor Tombe, who looked at GDP per capita in 2024 for all states and provinces. Ontario ranked 48th out of the 60 states and provinces.


Be angry with Trump all you want but he didn’t land us here. The Liberal Party and their Corporate Crony’s did.

Sara Sharif murder: hijab not questioned over fears of causing offence

Sara Sharif was murdered by her father and stepmother after a professional may have “feared causing offence” and failed to question why she was wearing a hijab that hid her injuries, a damning review has found.

The report, commissioned by the Surrey Safeguarding Children Partnership, found that “race was a bar to reporting possible child abuse” and “professionals never explored how [her Pakistani heritage] impacted on Sara”.

Canada pushes to join Eurovision: ‘This is about protecting our identity’

The prestige of Eurovision – I don’t want anything to do with this identity

When Canada released its federal budget this month, much of it was standard fare, from the plans to downsize the public service to the boost in defence spending.

But one line tucked in the nearly 500-page document has captured imaginations on both sides of the Atlantic: a mention that the government is working with Canada’s national broadcaster to explore participation in the Eurovision song contest.

When asked about the line, the country’s finance minister, François-Philippe Champagne, said the proposal to join the glitzy TV extravaganza had come from “the people who participate”.

The boss of Germany’s biggest defence firm, Rheinmetall, has told the BBC he believes that target could be met in five years.

Black monks and villagers feature in title showing Scotland’s history as multicultural

Children’s book portrays Picts as black

The Picts have been depicted as black in a new book intended to show that Scotland has always been “multicultural and diverse”.

An illustrated book has been created to make the history of the Picts, who flourished from around 300 AD to 900 AD, more accessible to young people.

Illustrations in the volume depict the early inhabitants of north-east Scotland as multiracial, with black monks, bishops, religious healers and ordinary villagers.

Whoever engages in such antics should be horse whipped.
