Zohran Mamdani and the ugly rebirth of the socialism of fools

Two events have been referred to as a ‘day of celebration’ by Western leftists in recent years. There’s Zohran Mamdani’s storming to power in New York City, which radicals across the Anglo-American world hailed as a stirring victory for millennial socialism. The other? The mass murder of socialists on a kibbutz in Israel.

Nigeria Is the “Global Epicenter of Violent Christian Persecution”

Jihadist violence continues to escalate in Nigeria. Christians in the country face systematic, targeted violence, primarily from Islamic terror groups such as Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), alongside radical Muslim Fulani factions. These groups explicitly target Christians through killings, kidnappings, sexual violence, and destruction of villages. The Nigerian government’s failure to protect Christians and punish perpetrators has only strengthened the Islamic militants’ influence.

The violence against Christians in Nigeria has escalated sharply since at least 2011, with documented killings and attacks increasing steadily. Data from Open Doors show over 41,000 Christian deaths between October 2011 and September 2024, highlighting a prolonged and intensifying crisis.

Birmingham is a failing city – and a worrying harbinger of Britain’s future

Birmingham England

The nation must start paying proper attention to the tragic disintegration of Birmingham. There was a time when the city’s canals promised to make it a Venice of the North. It was the engine room of the UK, a town of a thousand trades producing everything from guns to buttons.

Even as industry began to crumble, it showed promise to pivot into a cradle of innovation. Not only was it the birthplace of heavy metal and the Odeon cinema chain, it was also once the crucible for creative giants, from J R R Tolkien to Robert Plant.

Today it is the poster child for national decline. The mention of the city evokes images of striking binmen, rats as big as cats, “no-go” Islamic enclaves, “slum” neighbourhoods and a stillborn city centre strangled by a ring road. The city is a cautionary tale in the perils of Left-wing complacency and the follies of progressive utopianism – one the nation must heed to move forward.

The Slow Death of the German Christmas Market

Is the Weihnachtsmarkt dying out? Magdeburg, the capital of Saxony-Anhalt, is the latest German city to cancel its Christmas market over security concerns. Last December, a Saudi psychiatrist and refugee named Taleb al-Abdulmohsen drove his car into crowds during the city’s festivities, killing six people. This year, there are fears that such an attack could be repeated and that the proper protections would not be in place.

Another reason to thank Muslims.

2025: The Year Islamic Terrorism Went Mainstream

Al Qaeda, Hamas and Islamic terrorism have all become politically acceptable.

In 2025, Hamas and Hezbollah flags became regular sights on Ivy League college campuses, a Muslim immigrant who embraced an unindicted coconspirator in bombing plots in New York City became its mayor, presidential envoys chatted with Hamas and an Al Qaeda leader who used to have a $10 million reward on his head visited the White House and met with the president.

Ten years later, the Bataclan terrorists are winning

They haven’t won in a war, but they’ve changed the battlefield: no longer the streets, but our minds.

From the court records.

Stade de France:

“Against the stadium gate we find a bone. Pieces of human flesh, a hand. Then what could be an arm and shreds of meat. On Rue de l’Olympisme, a finger.”

Then the photo of Manuel Colaço Dias, the first victim of the attacks. His body had “eleven metal nuts, including one in the lung that caused death.”

Next stop: Le Carillon and Le Petit Cambodge, two restaurants in the city center.


No words.

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”.

Muslim man yells ‘Allahu Akbar’ and pummels random women, but police insist there’s no ‘religious’ or ‘political’ motive

Like Decarlos Brown Jr. reportedly saying “I got that white girl” just after he stabbed Iryna Zarutska to death completely out of nowhere definitely not being a crime borne of racial hatred or an anti-white attitude but a “mental illness” problem, so are the actions of a Syrian migrant who apparently yelled “Allahu Akbar” as he attacked and beat four random people on the streets of Dresden, Germany.

Europe’s Spiritual Battle: The Bataclan Massacre 10 Years Later

A decade has passed since the night of November 13, 2015—the night when the heart of Paris was pierced by a wave of coordinated terrorist attacks that claimed the lives of 130 people. Among the bloodiest of these was the massacre at the Bataclan concert hall, where 90 concertgoers were gunned down in cold blood.

A single photograph from that night has stayed with me over the years. It was taken just minutes before the attack began—an image of joy and abandon. The crowd is ecstatic. Arms are raised. Smiles are everywhere. The atmosphere is electric with freedom, pleasure, and anticipation. The American rock band Eagles of Death Metal is on stage, and the audience, caught in the height of their performance, appears to embody everything modern Western nightlife claims to be: liberated, exuberant, carefree.


The Guardian has a very thoughtful pictorial – France commemorates victims of Paris attacks 10 years on – in pictures

Though it would appear Europe has lost its spiritual battle… This is Satanic

With Carney’s budget prioritizing the business elite, could this be Canada’s Mamdani moment?

Although you may not have noticed, last week’s federal budget did away with the luxury tax on yachts and private jets.

It had been more of an annoyance than a serious tax on the superrich.

Still, at a time of staggering wealth accumulation at the top and a persistent affordability crisis below, it seemed like an odd decision, and one that suggests how badly Canadians were conned by Mark Carney.

A lot of Elbow People would go for this.

Seven of the usual suspects charged with sex and drug offences in Bristol ‘grooming’ case

Suspects, who are Iranian, Syrian and “British”, will appear before magistrates after police tipped off about the alleged sexual exploitation of a teenage girl

Paris marks 10 years since deadly Muslim terror attacks

France will commemorate on Thursday the November 13, 2015 terror attacks in which more than 130 people were killed and over 400 were injured when militants loyal to the so-called ‘Islamic State’ (IS) group attacked several sites in Paris.

“The 10th anniversary is here and emotions and tension are everywhere for us survivors,” said Arthur Denouveaux, president of victims’ association Life for Paris. “That kind of shields us from the world in a way, because we’re so focused on the grief and on remembering those who lost their lives.”

Durham Man ….

Durham police say a 28-year-old man has been arrested after allegedly breaking into multiple homes and sexually assaulting women in Oshawa earlier this week.

Investigators say the suspect first entered one home and exposed himself before being startled by a dog and fleeing.

Taliban order women to wear burkas to access hospitals, charity says

The Taliban authorities in Afghanistan have ordered female patients, caretakers and staff to wear a burka – a full Islamic veil – to enter public health facilities in the western city of Herat, medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) says.

MSF said the restrictions came into effect from 5 November.

“These restrictions further impede women’s lives and limit women’s access to health care,” Sarah Chateau, the agency’s programme manager in Afghanistan, told the BBC. She said even those “in need of urgent medical care” had been affected.
