Two strong, gracious women striving to make this world a better place were honoured at the Fox News’ 2025 Patriot of the Year Awards on Thursday.
Claws shot out in a flash.

The problem with greed: Our economic system benefits only those at the very top – but it’s not too late for change
The 21st century – if you hadn’t noticed – has been a pretty rocky ride. We’ve already been through several economic crashes, a global pandemic and an affordability crisis, not to mention wars in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Nor is the political landscape much cause for joy: of the democracies around in the 1990s, more than 25 have slid back to dictatorship or authoritarian semi-democracy, while China and Russia are once again ruled by autocrats. The United States every day looks more like the Roman Republic near its end, run by a President openly seeking Caesar’s perpetual dictatorship with even less deference to the Senate.
Trivializing Religion Left Us Unprepared for Political Islam
It is not intolerant to reject Mamdani’s implicit claim that non-Muslims cannot speak of Muslim wrongdoing.
In my mind today was a man who sometimes joined our family’s Friday night Shabbat meal. He was at that time Chancellor Jim Heft of the University of Dayton, a Marianist priest who has long since moved to LA following his calling. A man well read in theology and philosophy, he also earned my basketball-mad son’s esteem for his appreciation of the game, both as a good pick-up player and as a fan of the usually-excellent teams that UD put forward. My son also appreciated his edgy sense of humor, and my son, in his own gently ironic way, would always call him “Padre.”
Freeland tasked with tapping Canadian businesses to help rebuild Ukraine
OTTAWA – Seven weeks ago, Prime Minister Mark Carney assigned former cabinet minister Chrystia Freeland to be Canada’s new special envoy for the reconstruction of Ukraine.
Canadians haven’t heard much about the job since, and nothing at all about how Ukraine can be rebuilt while Russia continues its wide-scale bombing of critical infrastructure.
But experts say Canada has a major opportunity now to help preserve Ukraine’s sovereignty and international law — and to turn a profit in multiple sectors.
WTF?

Where is the money to replace Canada’s aging submarines? It wasn’t in the 2025 federal budget
Prime Minister Mark Carney has now climbed into two submarines on two continents – one on a production line in Germany, the other in the water in South Korea – yet the 2025 federal budget, which allocated more than $80 billion toward defence, made no mention of funding towards the much-needed vessels.
The Royal Canadian Navy is in the market to buy 12 conventional diesel-electric powered submarines and the federal government has narrowed the competition to two companies: ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) and Hanwha Ocean.
WTF?
Islamic scholar says that if you make a snowman, you will be punished by Allah on the Day of Judgment because it makes you an ‘image maker.’ But if you make it without a head, it is fine because it won’t resemble a human being.
What kind of mentality is this?! pic.twitter.com/w5NV4Loo72

Mamdani is a political tragedy for those who love Western freedoms
The new mayor of New York seems straight out of the pen of the famous Daily Telegraph humorist, Peter Simple.
Like Mrs. Dutt-Pauker, who symbolized the “Hampstead Liberal,” the typical representative of the United Kingdom’s progressive elites. Mrs. Dutt-Pauker is a very wealthy heiress living in Hampstead, in a mansion called “Marxmount House,” where she collects a pair of Bukharin’s teeth, Ming vases, constructivist art, and Stalin’s writings. Mrs. Dutt-Pauker is in love with Walter Ulbricht, the communist leader of East Germany, and has a son named “Brecht Mao Rudy Che” – in honor of the communist playwright, the Great Chinese Helmsman, the ’68 leader, and Che Guevara.
The French car attack proves Islam’s ceaseless menace
A man shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ drove his car into a crowd on France’s Ile d’Oléron this morning. At least ten people on the popular holiday destination – situated off the Atlantic Coast – were injured, and three are in a critical condition. Police arrested the driver, a 35-year-old man with a history of petty crime. A search of his vehicle revealed some gas cylinders.
Among the injured is 22-year-old Emma Vallain, a parliamentary assistant to Pascal Markowsky, an MP in Marine Le Pen’s National Rally. A rising star in the party, she took part in a televised debate at the weekend about the current political deadlock in France.
GUNTER: Conservative departures not fatal to Poilievre leadership
Chris d’Entremont and Matt Jeneroux have walked out of the Conservative caucus. D’Entremont made the cynical walk over to the Liberals while Jeneroux just quit, only a little more than six months after winning re-election in his Edmonton Riverview riding in the April general election.
The Mirage of ‘Humanitarian Reconstruction’: Billions for Gaza — But Who Will Prevent the Next Jihad?
When the guns fall silent, Western governments rush to rebuild. The European Union, the United States, and several Arab states are now pledging tens of billions of dollars to “reconstruct” Gaza. The impulse may be humane, but the outcome could be catastrophic. Unless funds are subjected to strict, transparent and enforceable controls, they will once again be used to fertilize the same terror infrastructure responsible for Gaza’s destruction.
Carney can count on Canadians’ patience for only so long
“Patience is a virtue.” In today’s world, however, particularly in politics, this adage is being put to the test. With the many challenges society currently faces, populations can quickly turn on those they elect if they don’t see things changing rapidly enough.
It’s been over six months since Mark Carney was elected prime minister with hopes soaring sky high that someone of his economic experience and heft would get Canada back on track.
Ford’s electric F-150 Lightning pickup may be all but dead
America’s best-selling electric pickup may be headed for the chopping block. According to a new WSJ report, Ford is now considering killing off the F-150 Lightning.
After Ford halted production of the electric pickup at its Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Michigan, earlier this year, it may never return to the assembly line.
Ford announced during its third-quarter earnings that F-150 Lightning production would remain paused after a fire at Novelis’ plant in New York disrupted aluminum supply.
DOBBIE: The “transformative” budget
One thing the Carney Liberals are masters of is spin. They have been proclaiming the wonders of their very late budget for weeks and have managed to turn water into wine for many Canadians — not the least of which was a Tory backbencher who defected to the other side on budget day.
Apparently, they had been working on this fellow for years, trying to convince him to become a Liberal, and it finally took when he became disgruntled over not being made a deputy speaker — or something like that. They also brought in the heavy artillery, and Carney himself persuaded him. Whatever the details, he walked.
How do two privileged New Jersey teens get seduced by ISIS?
Two teenagers from one of New Jersey’s wealthiest suburbs were arrested this week for allegedly plotting to join ISIS and carry out mass killings of Jews.
According to federal prosecutors, Tomas Kaan Jimenez-Guzel and Milo Sedarat, both 19, both from Montclair, had stockpiled weapons, posed with an ISIS flag, and fantasized online about attacks on Jewish communities.
Sedarat, the son of a well-known poet, reportedly said he wanted to “execute 500 Jews” and “mow down” pro-Israel marchers in his hometown.
