How Islam will subjugate Europe

“Islamists march through the streets of Berlin, protected by the democracy they deeply despise. They call for a caliphate, they dream of a theocracy. And to all those who don’t want to believe it: try holding the same demonstration with the same signs in Cairo, Baghdad, Riyadh, Amman, Beirut, or Abu Dhabi.”

Ahmed Mansour captures the terrible paradox of European democracy.

Islamists call for the establishment of a caliphate during the demonstration in Berlin.

Berlin police wanted to ban the demonstration, but a court overturned the ban. Caliphate supporters were then allowed, separated by gender, to call for the establishment of theocracy in Europe.

Don’t ban speech, deport the speakers.

How Universities Created Zohran Mamdani

There is a particular species of ignorance that flourishes in the academy: one that mistakes moral posturing for moral reasoning, slogans for scholarship, and fashionable outrage for historical understanding. Zohran Mamdani, now the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, represents the perfected specimen of this breed: the educated barbarian.

Pessimism, anger still dominate Canadian attitudes toward Americans, poll shows

More than 70 per cent of Canadians still pick a negative emotion such as anger to describe their feelings toward Americans, but the intensity of this ire has cooled even as a damaging trade war with the United States continues, a new poll shows.

There’s been a slight uptick in those saying their dominant emotion is instead disinterest or even optimism, the survey indicates.

More than 7 in 10 Canadians polled said pessimism or anger best describe their views toward Americans, an early July poll by Nanos Research for The Globe and Mail found.

The Iran Ceasefire: A Dicey Intermission

The recent attack by Israel and the US on parts of Iran’s nuclear project has already been dubbed by some commentators as the Twelve Day War.

However, that cut-off time was chosen by Tehran to back a claim that Iran managed to fight twice as long as Arab states led by Egypt did in the Six Days War of 1967.

In fact, with varying degrees of intensity and a diversity of locations, this war started more than four decades ago when the new revolutionary authorities raided the Israeli diplomatic mission in Tehran and handed it over to PLO leader Yasser Arafat on a visit as special guest of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. A few months later, the new revolutionary regime repeated the exercise by raiding the US Embassy and seizing its diplomats as hostages.

How hundreds of Irish babies came to be buried in a secret mass grave

No burial records. No headstones. No memorials.

Nothing until 2014, when an amateur historian uncovered evidence of a mass grave, potentially in a former sewage tank, believed to contain hundreds of babies in Tuam, County Galway, in the west of Ireland.

Now, investigators have moved their diggers onto the nondescript patch of grass next to a children’s playground on a housing estate in the town. An excavation, expected to last two years, will begin on Monday.

Musicians fight uphill battle as AI infiltrates streaming platforms, cutting into royalties

Musicians are calling for regulations and finding creative ways to fight back as AI “bands” climb the charts on streaming platforms, soaking up already meagre royalty payments.

But as a major musicians’ union works for legal change, a copyright expert says the law is failing to keep up with artificial intelligence. This comes as an act called The Velvet Sundown has hit 1.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify after stirring controversy over its use of AI, sparking conversations about the future of the music business.

“It’s obviously a challenge in the industry,” Allistair Elliott, director of Canadians affairs for the American Federation of Musicians, which represents 70,000 professional musicians in the U.S. and Canada, told CBC News.

The Trump Administration Is About to Make a HUGE Move Against the Deep State

In a bombshell revelation, investigative journalist John Solomon confirmed to Steve Bannon on Real America’s Voice that the Department of Justice and the FBI have been quietly building a major criminal conspiracy case targeting the Deep State’s decade-long effort to derail Donald Trump.

All Palestinians in Gaza Are Eligible for Asylum in France, Court Rules

All for naught.

All Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip will be eligible for the first time to apply for asylum in France, a court ruled on Friday.

Deciding on a case brought by a Palestinian mother seeking asylum in the wake of the Islamist Hamas October 7th terror attacks on Israel, France’s National Court of Asylum (CNDA) ruled in her favour given the “war methods” of the Israeli Defence Forces in Gaza, which the court found were “serious enough to be regarded as methods of persecution.”

Kash Patel denies rumors he’s quitting the FBI over DoJ ruling on Epstein files

FBI director Kash Patel has denied swirling resignation rumors over reported unhappiness at a justice department decision to close the book on Jeffrey Epstein after administration officials teased a big reveal earlier in the year.

In a Saturday social media post, the agency director said: “the conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been. It’s an honor to serve the President of the United States – and I’ll continue to do so for as long as he calls on me.”

Over the past week, Maga hardliners, including Georgia representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, former White House adviser Steve Bannon and – reportedly – FBI deputy director Dan Bongino, have been strongly critical of a joint decision by US attorney general Pam Bondi and the FBI to not release further information about Epstein held in government files, including a so-called client list.

Mark Carney needs to explain to Canadians how we’re going to pay for our national defence

It wasn’t so long ago that Canada perennially cashed in on its so-called “peace dividend.” The logic went like this: while our tanks might rust, the salaries of our Armed Forces members stagnate, and our ammunition stockpiles dwindle, the government could reallocate military spending toward areas of more immediate concern — entitlement programs, infrastructure and other “flavours of the day.”

Point to whichever geopolitical disaster from recent history you like, one thing is painfully clear: the dividend has been spent. But the problem isn’t just that our leaders have been slow to acknowledge this new reality — it’s that they’ve been even slower to act on its implications. Because the inverse logic now applies: in a more volatile world, there is a crisis fee to pay. A big one.
