Several dozen white South African refugees were recently welcomed to Washington, D.C., most proudly waving American flags.
Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau and Department of Homeland Security Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar welcomed the refugees, who are fleeing racial discrimination, persecution, violence, and murder in their home country.
From secure borders to functioning cities, America is shedding the hard-won pillars of civilization—by choice, not chance—in a sweeping, top-down descent into disorder.
Secure borders and stationary populations were considered the mark of emerging civilization by classical historians. In contrast to nomadism and constant strife over disputed territory, peoples who had clearly defined and protected borders ascended to statehood, maintained a distinct culture, and achieved greater prosperity and security.
According to British author David Goodhart, who coined the terms “Somewheres” and “Anywheres,” the Somewheres are people who are more locally rooted and conservative as opposed to the Anywheres, wealthy, educated members of the establishment who can afford to live anywhere they wish, criss-cross the globe on private jets, and scoop up property wherever they happen to touch down. Of course, Goodhart’s binary distinction would need to be supplemented by a third factor in the interests of demographic accuracy, which we might call the “Unawares,” those who remain in thrall to the Anywheres, have not done their homework, and are reluctant to bestir themselves to bring in beneficial change.

Eating flesh is a display of raw power
In America, there are two famous vampires named Brian Johnson. Well, sort of. The first, who admittedly spells it “Bryan”, is the preternaturally ageless tech entrepreneur who charts his erections and uses infusions of his teenage son’s blood plasma in pursuit of eternal youth — and has ended up looking somewhere freakishly in between 38 and 80. The other resembles a man-beast with Neolithic coiffure, always baring a mahogany, bulging breast, often chomping on the still-beating heart of some poor animal or other. This Brian is better known by another name: Liver King.
Call it a Bonnie and Clyde pairing.
In his first major moves as Prime Minister, Mark Carney has appointed two key ministers who will shape Canada’s energy and environmental policy — decisions that could carry profound consequences for Western Canada, particularly Alberta and Saskatchewan.
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new cabinet includes many new faces and several notable names who have been left out, including several Trudeau-era cabinet ministers.
Here’s a look at the winners and losers in Carney’s first cabinet since the April federal election.
No great shakeup. Most of the old crew is back.
On Friday, I reported that the father of the Abundant Life Christian School shooter had been charged. That report was scant on details as to why he was charged specifically, only that he had been.
This may or may not be out of place in and of itself, but the idea of charging parents is troubling without a very good reason to do so.
The southern border breakdown was permitted. Will we allow the same forces to break through from the north?
Borders are not abstractions. They are security infrastructure. They are economic lifelines. And when left unguarded, they become the entry points for chaos. While America’s political establishment clings to the southern border narrative, a quieter, more calculated breach is advancing from the north. The U.S.–Canada line — long mythologized as polite and uneventful — is now a preferred corridor for the same criminal cartels that have turned Mexico into a narco-state.

The ‘assisted dying’ bill will make it as easy as possible for disabled, ethnic-minority and poor people to kill themselves.
Presumably, the UK government had hoped it could quietly slip out the impact assessments for the assisted-dying bill without anyone noticing. Two reports were published on the Friday just before the bank-holiday weekend, and just after the results of the Runcorn by-election and other local elections. Clearly, no one was supposed to read them.
President Trump wants China’s automakers to build cars in the U.S., but modern vehicle technology makes that a national security risk.
President Donald Trump marked the first 100 days of his second term with a speech touting the accomplishments of his administration. Delivering the address from Michigan, the heart of the American auto industry, the president drew special attention to the challenge of foreign competition and its place in his trade agenda.
Implicitly invoking Ronald Reagan’s successful efforts to induce Japanese automakers to build cars in the U.S., Trump told the crowd at Macomb Community College that he wants foreign automakers to invest in U.S. production again. While the friendly audience mostly applauded this message, one line surely left them confused: Trump’s statement that not only Japanese but Chinese automakers should build cars here.
The main sense you get from reading the latest city report on homelessness is that this is an industry. As with any industry, the last thing it wants to do is go out of business which is why the “solutions” offered up are about perpetuating the problem, not solving it.
It’s probably appropriate since the report is actually a “Stakeholder Engagement Report” titled, “What We Heard: 2025-2030 Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness.”
