Why So Many Political Pyromaniacs, Assassins, and Other Scary Types?

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass insists that “climate change” caused the Palisades Fire. Federal prosecutors believe that an angry, anti-capitalist Uber driver who frequently posted that climate change caused wildfires set the conflagration that destroyed so much of Los Angeles County.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Central District of California prosecutes Jonathan Rinderknecht on charges of destruction of property by means of fire, arson affecting property used in interstate commerce, and timber set afire. Though a dozen people died in the Palisades Fire in early 2025, Rinderknecht faces between five and 45 years if convicted

The Iran war has shown why Canada shouldn’t just take the world as it is

The Iran war has shown why Canada shouldn’t just take the world as it is

“We take the world as it is, not as we wish it to be.” That phrase, and the coldly self-interested realism that appeared to be behind it, became associated with Prime Minister Mark Carney’s approach to the Middle East for a brief moment earlier this year.

Grabbed from the PM’s Davos speech in January, the line was celebrated by those who believed Canada’s foreign policy had descended into the virtue-signalling promotion of Canadian values, and needed to return to the rock-ribbed projection of national interests.

Old Europe is burning and media keep telling us that everything is fine

Old Europe is burning and media keep telling us that everything is fine

Church of Montenach, France. Built between 1884 and 1886, it survived two world wars and was devastated by a fire on Sunday.

The numbers, cold as gravestones, speak clearly: dozens of churches are destroyed by fire every year, while other places of worship enjoy an inexplicable immunity. These are not meteorological accidents or random electrical faults. It is a pattern that challenges our ability to name reality without euphemisms.

The elites in Paris and Brussels, barricaded in their intellectual salons, prefer not to see, but the citizen smells the acrid odor of a planned dissolution.

There Are Ants in This Canadian Hospital. Again.

There Are Ants in This Canadian Hospital. Again.

Ants can be a nuisance. Just ask officials at a hospital in Canada who are dealing with an “appearance of ants within the operating room” that has forced them to indefinitely suspend some surgeries there.

The ants appeared recently at Carman Memorial Hospital in Carman Manitoba, according to a statement from Southern Health-Santé Sud, the provincial authority that oversees the hospital.

Europe’s ‘Global Alliance’ Is Not Peace, It Is Dispossession by Another Name

Europe’s ‘Global Alliance’ Is Not Peace, It Is Dispossession by Another Name

Europe has a long history, from medieval expulsions to the Holocaust, of dispossessing, murdering, and expelling Jews. Today, this same impulse continues under the language of diplomacy and “international law,” now targeting the Jewish people’s biblical heartland by, once again, trying to force a genocidally hostile (here and here, article 7) so-called “two-state solution” on the Jewish state.

Mexican man pleads guilty to smuggling migrants into U.S. from Canada

A Mexican national living illegally in the United States has pleaded guilty to charges of bringing illegal immigrants across the border from Canada into the U.S., the U.S. Department of Justice says.

He is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 10, and will face a penalty of between five and 15 years in prison.

‘White hands’ race scandal paints a dark picture for Aboriginal art

‘White hands’ race scandal paints a dark picture for Aboriginal art

In the introduction to a blockbuster exhibition of work by Aboriginal artists at the National Gallery in Canberra, a painter called Yaritji Young explains her motivations.

“Our ancestors painted on the caves,” says Young, whose forebears called Australia’s vast southern desert home for thousands of years. “This is where I learnt my story as a child. I think about these caves when I am making a major work. Ours is a big and important country, I need a canvas that will support me to share that.”

Carney should recognize the damage and scrap industrial carbon tax

Carney should recognize the damage and scrap industrial carbon tax

Once again, war in the Middle East is destabilizing global energy markets, increasing energy costs (including at the pumps) and threatening Canada’s already fragile economy.

Yet at a moment when policymakers should do everything possible to unlock Canada’s economic potential, the Carney government is doubling down on the Trudeau-era industrial carbon tax, which further raises energy costs, dampens investment and job growth — and all for negligible environmental benefits.

All the most shocking new UFO files photos and videos from Trump’s extraordinary release

All the most shocking new UFO files photos and videos from Trump’s extraordinary release

The Trump administration’s explosive UFO files contained some of the most shocking documents of unidentified phenomena on Earth and in outer space to date.

Hundreds of previously unseen videos, photos and records tied to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) and Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) were published on Friday.

The Pentagon wrote on X that while past administrations sought to discredit or dissuade the American people, President Donald Trump ‘is focused on providing maximum transparency to the public, who can ultimately make up their own minds about the information contained in these files.’

Ford Motor to receive $464M from feds to pivot to F-series production at Oakville plant after EV plans scrapped

Ford Motor to receive $464M from feds to pivot to F-series production at Oakville plant after EV plans scrapped

The federal government is giving Ford Motor Co. $464.5 million toward retooling its idled Oakville assembly plant to produce heavy-duty F-series gas and diesel-powered trucks.

The funding — mentioned in a federal database for grants and contributions — comes as the Dearborn, Mich.-based auto manufacturer revealed it has increased its own spending on the retooling to $5 billion from $1.8 billion.

The database says the funding agreement, which took effect March 30, runs until 2038.


Trump is determined to bring all assembly home. Will Ford take the money and run?

Up to 2cm a month: Nasa keeps track as Mexico City sinks into the ground

Up to 2cm a month: Nasa keeps track as Mexico City sinks into the ground

Walking into Mexico City’s sprawling central Zócalo is a dizzying experience. At one end of the plaza, the capital’s cathedral, with its soaring spires, slumps in one direction. An attached church, known as the Metropolitan Sanctuary, tilts in the other. The nearby National Palace also seems off-kilter.

The teetering of many of the capital’s historic buildings is the most visible sign of a phenomenon that has been ongoing for more than a century: Mexico City is sinking at an alarming rate.

Now, the metropolis’s descent is being tracked in real time thanks to one of the most powerful radar systems ever launched into space. Known as Nisar, the satellite can detect minute changes in Earth’s surface, even through thick vegetation or cloud cover.

Political Islam sees Europe as a territory to be claimed

The experiment is over, and the results are in: The British laboratory has blown up in the face of its creators. For decades, London has been the global capital of a specific, elitist delusion, according to which you could host any ideology, no matter how hostile to your way of life, and it would eventually be tamed by the sheer charm of the English Sunday roast and the rule of law. Complete nonsense, as it turns out.

What is nihilistic violent extremism? The ‘new threat’ eyed by CSIS, police

What is nihilistic violent extremism? The ‘new threat’ eyed by CSIS, police

Canadian intelligence and law enforcement officials say they are contending with a new form of violent extremist behaviour that’s mostly targeting youth and young adults online, known as “nihilistic violent extremism.”

The term was identified as a “new threat” within the expanding landscape of ideologically-motivated violent extremism in the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service’s (CSIS) latest annual report, released this month.

The report said CSIS has noted a growing trend of youth radicalization associated with violent nihilistic online groups like 764 and the Maniac Murder Cult, which have recently been listed as terrorist entities in Canada.


Most violent youth seem to belong to antifa.
