Should the AfD be banned? Germany’s dilemma after spy agency ruling

Friedrich Merz’s expected confirmation as Germany’s next leader this week will take place in the shadow of a row about whether to ban the rival far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party after it was formally classified as “extremist” by the country’s intelligence services.

Merz, 69, a multimillionaire former corporate lawyer, is set to be elected as chancellor by parliament on Tuesday after his centre-right Christian Democrat Union (CDU) agreed on a “grand coalition” with the Social Democrats following weeks of detailed negotiations.

The Nazis are in charge.

This hockey town in Michigan has deep ties to Canada. Then came Trump’s tariffs

There are few entities that embody the close, fraternal ties between the US and Canada quite like the Saginaw Spirit junior ice hockey team.

In a place whose fortunes have been more down than up in recent decades, the Dow Event Center hockey arena in Saginaw, Michigan, comes alive with more than 5,000 fans once these young stars take to the ice. A huge banner depicting the players adorns the main street into the city.

Nearly all the players, aged 16 to 20, come from Canada, and stay with local Saginaw families during the regular playing season, which runs from September to April.

French police investigate spate of cryptocurrency millionaire kidnappings

French police are investigating a series of kidnappings of investors linked to cryptocurrency after a 60-year-old man had a finger chopped off by attackers who demanded his crypto-millionaire son pay a ransom.

In the latest of several kidnappings of cryptocurrency figures in France and western Europe, the man, who owned a cryptocurrency marketing company with his son, was freed from a house south of Paris on Saturday night. He had been held for more than two days.

One of the man’s fingers had been chopped off and investigators feared further mutilations could have happened if he had not been rescued.

The Liberals may have lost seats in Ontario — and their majority — because of crime and Trudeau fatigue

OTTAWA — In the first weeks of the campaign, Liberal incumbent Helena Jaczek said decided voters she met at the doors were intent on voting for Mark Carney because they thought he was the best person to deal with U.S. President Donald Trump.

“As time went on and Mr. Trump was less vocal, and perhaps as (Conservative Leader Pierre) Poilievre softened his image somewhat during debates, I think then a lot of the people who hadn’t given the election much thought decided they really had to concentrate,” she said in a recent interview with National Post.

How Radical Islam and the Progressive Left Seek to Undermine America

The jihadist and leftist ties that bind.

“This American empire must fall”

This statement did not come from Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, from Vladimir Putin of Russia, or from China’s Xi Jinping. It came from a Muslim American resident of Dearborn, Michigan, who added: “People are willing to fight and put their lives on the line to bring these Western empires down.”

Sinister globalist agenda that engineered Carney’s Canadian victory

WE HAVE just had an extremely depressing Canadian election. The Liberal Party secured a fourth consecutive term of government, despite falling short of an overall majority, and Mark Carney is confirmed as Canadian Prime Minister.

This is in some ways an unlikely victory. Justin Trudeau, the previous Liberal Prime Minister, had become a widely mocked and despised figure, so much so that he lost the support of key allies and ended up having to resign.

Blackouts are coming for Britain

Social trust will vanish in the dark

It was around 7pm when we heard that the lights were back on in Porto, 200 miles to the north of the small Portuguese village where I was visiting friends. The blackout would only last a few hours longer. At that moment we were at the checkout of an unlit supermarket in a nearby town, having scoured the shelves by the light of our phones. Our shopping baskets revealed that we were not seasoned preppers. They contained 40 litres of bottled water, along with tins of beans, peas and tuna. We also stocked up on red wine and chocolate; morale had to be maintained, after all.

Earlier that day, a power cut originating in Spain had swept across the Iberian Peninsula and part of France. Traffic lights went down and trains stopped in their tracks, above and below ground. Given that the blackout lasted less than 12 hours, our response in hindsight appears slightly hysterical. But until that update at the supermarket, which we couldn’t verify in any case, we had no way of knowing it would be over so quickly. We had no mobile reception or Internet access of any kind, and so we couldn’t communicate with anyone outside the village.

COVID-19 on My Mind

Like most of us, I suppose, the shock to our system and way of life during the government’s response to COVID-19 cannot easily be forgotten. It was our taste of ill-considered government tyranny, a public-health disaster. As more information about its origins and how the disease was handled is revealed, it always gets my attention. In sum, banking on helping defeat Trump, the public-health establishment and media suppressed more credible options for dealing with a disease which was not life-threatening to most in order to promote a vaccine then in the works. The vaccine when it was developed and administered was not terribly effective and has itself caused substantial injury. In the process of locking the country down, the health establishment and government caused the very deleterious effects which the signatories of the Great Barrington Declaration had warned against. Those opposing less tyrannical treatment of COVID-19 included Dr. Anthony Fauci, whose role in creating COVID-19 is no longer deniable.

Mark Carney could tear Canada apart

New separatist movements threaten to rain on the Liberals’ parade.

In an election that seemed all but guaranteed to land Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives in government, Canada instead re-elected Mark Carney’s Liberal Party for another four years. Carney, former governor of the Bank of England, first became Canadian prime minister in March, taking over from the scandal-mired Justin Trudeau. The increasingly unpopular Liberals were set to be overthrown by the populist-leaning Poilievre, until US president Donald Trump’s threats to annex the country. This derailed the national discourse and caused liberal-left voters to rally behind Carney.

Denmark has cut asylum claims by 90% by banning the burkha and refusing benefits to migrants who don’t learn their language

Two bullet holes from the bad old days still scar the black metal doorway of Ishmail Schbaita’s busy corner shop in Copenhagen.

The migrant gangster who haphazardly fired the shots from a 9mm pistol during a drugs turf war has long disappeared from this once-dangerous suburb of Norrebro in the Danish capital.

He was deported as Denmark cracked down on rising crime caused, to a large degree, by the uncontrolled wave of 1.3 million migrants, which swept into Europe ten years ago, changing the face of the Continent for ever.

‘Luigi The Musical’ Praises United Healthcare CEO’s Killer As ‘Folk Hero’

Murdering a father in cold blood not only gets you rewarded with nearly $1 million fundraised by a fan base of shrieking 20-year-old women, but you’ll also get your own musical!

San Francisco’s leftist theatre types are performing a “comedy” that lionizes Luigi Mangione as a “folk hero” for shooting UnitedHealthcare’s CEO fatally in the back.

Low turnout in ‘most important election’ sparks call for democratic reform

Despite being dubbed “the most important election of our lifetime,” one in three eligible voters chose not to cast a ballot in Canada’s recent federal election, prompting Democracy Watch to call for urgent reforms to strengthen democracy and increase voter engagement.

The watchdog group released a statement highlighting that the newly elected Mark Carney-led Liberal government secured 49% of the seats in the House of Commons with the support of just 30% of eligible voters.

Star hopes Carney will destroy economy with Net Zero Lunacy

Mark Carney championed this cause before he ran for office. What will he do now that he’s in power?

The brutal truth about our planet is hard to hear.

“The challenges currently posed by climate change pale in significance compared to what might come. … Climate change will threaten financial resilience and longer term prosperity. While there’s still time to act, the window is finite and it’s closing.”

This quote was not uttered by David Suzuki or put out by Greenpeace or even included in a report by the International Panel on Climate Change.
They’re words spoken by Prime Minister Mark Carney — 10 years ago when he was governor of the Bank of England.

A Liberal Sociologist Offers Thoughts on Gun Culture and It’s Not What You’d Expect

Yes, there are liberal gun owners. There are liberal gun rights advocates, even.

However, we all know they’re the exception, not the norm.

Further, when we hear about a sociologist, we kind of have to brace a bit. The social sciences are heavily anti-gun, so when someone who is a sociologist offers up thoughts about gun culture, we–or, at least, I–tend to have certain expectations about what I’m going to read.
