Violent ‘Hammer Girl’ Seeks to Evade Justice, Again

The European Parliament’s Committee on Legal Affairs will deliberate on Thursday, January 23rd, whether to lift the immunity of left-wing radical MEP Ilaria Salis.

The request to lift the 40-year-old Italian lawmaker’s immunity was handed in by Hungary last year, following the election of Salis to the European Parliament (EP).

Ilaria Salis was arrested and imprisoned in Hungary in 2023 for participating in a series of attacks organised by the Hammerbande (Hammer Gang), a German left-wing militant group linked to Antifa. The members of the group surrounded and bludgeoned nine innocent people—who the attackers decided “looked like” neo-Nazis based on their choice of clothing—with telescopic batons and hammers on the streets of Budapest.

Luigi Mangione and the American Abyss

The assassination of Brian Thompson does not call for a “conversation” about health care—it calls for a reckoning with Americans’ moral breakdown.

On the morning of December 4, 2024, in midtown Manhattan, a masked male snuck up behind the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, a health insurance company, and pumped three bullets into the executive’s back and leg. Brian Thompson, a 50-year-old father of two, was pronounced dead a few minutes later.

Celebrations of the murder broke out on social media almost as soon as the killing was reported. The unknown assailant had provided a public service by taking out a leader in a predatory and heartless industry, the killer’s fans asserted. The jubilation grew in fervor as each newly released surveillance video confirmed the original impression that the killer, still at large, was young and handsome.

Progressive policies are fuelling rise in New York subway murders

This year will go down as the deadliest in the New York City subways in decades, if not ever. The indescribably savage immolation of a woman passenger on the morning of December 22 brings the number of murders in the subway in 2024 to 11. Since 2020, 40 people have been murdered in the system, more than the total number dating back to 1990.

Images of the scene from Sunday morning are ghastly. A human figure is engulfed in flames while a man, eventually identified as the killer, sits calmly watching a few yards away. The murderer, an illegal migrant from Guatemala, evidently used a lighter to set his victim’s clothes aflame. He was caught later that day, snoozing on another train.

More Catwalk Than Perp Walk as Deification of Luigi Mangione Is Ascending to Absurd Heights

Luigi Mangione, alleged killer of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, Brian Thompson, is being deified by fans comparing him to everyone from Robin Hood to Jesus Christ. His arrival in Manhattan, courtesy of the NYPD, is the latest made-for-TV moment in his leap from obscurity.

Mr. Mangione arrived in New York City on Thursday to face charges including first-degree murder, stalking, and illegal use of firearms. After 10 days in a Pennsylvania jail, he waived his right to contest extradition, enabling Empire State authorities to transport him to the scene of the crime.

Vlaams Belang Investigated for Filming Far-Left Attack on Its Own HQ

Authorities are pursuing the right-wing party while staying strangely quiet on the vandals.

Flemish nationalists could be prosecuted for recording the vandalism of their own offices in Brussels . The incident, which occurred last month the same night as a book launch of French conservative leader Jordan Bardella, saw the headquarters of Vlaams Belang attacked with impunity. Now Belgian authorities seem more concerned with going after the victims than the perpetrators, Nieuw Rechts reports.

From bike lanes to carbon tax to guns — these initiatives don’t stand up to critical analysis

In this “post-truth” era, Toronto’s hardened bike lanes, the carbon tax, and the Liberal party’s efforts to penalize trained hunters and licensed target shooters are all drawn from the same hymn book. Progressive politicians announced each heartfelt initiative as an evidence-based solution that was beyond reproach — and yet, as time passes, none have withstood the slightest critical analysis.

Advocates of cycling infrastructure promised us improved cyclist safety, personal health benefits, reductions in carbon and noise emissions, as well as reduced traffic congestion. Sounds dreamy.

The Star’s designated “right-winger” is doing OK.

The left is exposing its moral inconsistencies

I get the strong sense that Donald Trump’s political rebirth has prompted panic within the overlapping “woke” and far left movements. Dubious? Just look at the cacophony of “wokesplosions” over the past three weeks:

We had the Ottawa high school principal who chose a “Palestinian resistance” song to commemorate Remembrance Day, only to be outflanked by the Halifax elementary administrator who asked Veterans to avoid wearing their uniforms to ensure that “students at the school who come from conflict zones” would be “comfortable.”

Oversight Committee Girds for Tense Hearing With FEMA Administrator Following Reports That Disaster-Relief Staff Were Told To Avoid Pro-Trump Homes

The House Oversight Committee is preparing for what will likely be a tense hearing on Tuesday with the administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Deanne Criswell. The hearing was called after it was disclosed that a FEMA employee told her colleagues canvassing victims of hurricanes Milton and Helene to avoid homes with signs in support of President Trump in Florida.

Che Guevara was a sadist

Fitting model for a Che Guevara t-shirt

Why do people still glorify this child murderer?

Che Guevara died 57 years ago this month and yet, even now, he remains the epitome of revolutionary cool. You never know when he is going to pop up. I came across him recently in the lobby of a hotel in Kandy in the highlands of Sri Lanka. There he was with that determined, heroic look under a dashing beret with a red star badge. He was on a poster dominating the wall above the capitalist till where the luxury hotel took payment.

Blood, Soil and Land Acknowledgements

The 2024 Democratic National Convention opened with the claim that “our country was built on Indigenous homelands” from tribes that had been there “since time immemorial.” The American Lung Association’s DEI office tells members to begin by stating that “the land on which we stand” used to belong to Indian tribes who are now suffering from the “on-going violence and repression” of “tobacco-related health, indoor and outdoor air inequities.”

Academics, Not Activism, Should be the Priority in School

“Resistance to colonialism is not terrorism.”

This quote was shown to more than 5000 Winnipeg School Division (WSD) staff last week at a professional development session that Dr. Chris Emdin from Teachers College, Columbia University delivered. Not surprisingly, many teachers found the quote offensive, with more than a dozen walking out.

The teachers who walked out did the right thing. Whatever one’s political views might be, there is no context where intentionally murdering innocent civilians, which is an act of terrorism, is acceptable.

The Party of Demons

It should be clear by now, to those who have eyes to see, that the Democratic Party is profoundly anti-Catholic. The latest stunt demonstrative of this fact is a video of Michigan’s Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer feeding a Dorito to a kneeling podcaster, who receives the snack food on her tongue. You know, like Catholics receive the Holy Eucharist while kneeling at the altar rail.

Whitmer and her team may try to dismiss the video as anything other than the anti-Catholic mockery that it is, but Whitmer makes her meaning clear. The Hill reported that Whitmer “offers the camera a serious expression while wearing Harris-Walz campaign gear” after placing the Dorito on the kneeling girl’s tongue. However, those familiar with the Michigan governor (I myself lived in Detroit for a period of time) will recognize a distinctly defiant, mocking menace in her eyes. This is more than just a political ploy, it is more than merely poorly capitalizing on a social media trend, it is mocking and deriding American Catholics.

Why Are the Nutjobs Trying to Kill Political Opponents All Left-Wingers?

Murderous political violence in the United States today is not an all-of-the-above phenomenon.

In Aug. 2012, a left-wing MSNBC aficionado named Floyd Lee Corkins armed himself with a handgun and extra magazines. He drove to the Washington, D.C., headquarters of the socially conservative Family Research Council, planning to shoot it up. Corkins, who later cited the Southern Poverty Law Center for the proposition that the FRC is an “anti-gay” organization, was also carrying 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches, which he hoped to stuff in his dead victims’ mouths. Corkins, who served as a volunteer at a local LGBT community center, was stopped by an unarmed security guard.
