When the police knocked on Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson’s door last year, it prompted a justified national outcry. She was told by two officers on Remembrance Sunday that she was being investigated for ‘stirring up racial hatred’ – all because of a nearly year-old tweet, in which she mistook some British Pakistani protesters for pro-Hamas protesters and railed against ‘Jew haters’. That Pearson promptly deleted it soon after apparently made no difference.
For decades, the political left—and even parts of the right—have insisted that “diversity is our strength” and has striven to convince Americans (and other Westerners) of the importance and beauty of “multiculturalism” and other related social phenomena. Today, with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs and ideology under attack by most of the right and by the Trump Administration in particular, the left is howling that the nation’s principles themselves are being harmed and that we, as a people, are doing tremendous damage to the fabric of our society, sacrificing one of our most important characteristics on the altar of white privilege.
Workers at the U.S. African Development Foundation, a self-described independent agency, refused to let into its building the agency’s new acting director on Wednesday.
So much for the peaceful transition of power.
The agency has 55 employees and an annual budget of $45 million. USADF has been around longer than Fauci and it is just as useless and full of itself.
I am hardly alone among conservatives in stating that I greatly admire Douglas Murray, a fierce opponent of wokeness, defender of Israel, and author of such must-reads as The Strange Death of Europe and The War on the West. And that is why his latest piece in The Spectator, titled “The MAGA Movement is Wrong on Ukraine” is such a disappointment that I felt compelled to respond (the article is behind a paywall, unfortunately, but I have excerpted the key selections below).
“How can the right be so wrong? Or at least portions of the right – especially the American right – when it comes to Ukraine?” Murray asks and then explains.
No one wants Ukraine to fall but those attacking the US should validate their concern by helping pay the bills.
An expert on insurgency says an American military incursion into Canada would be a disaster — for the United States.
A military move by President Donald Trump could eventually destroy America’s worldwide power, says Dr. Aisha Ahmad, an associate professor at the University of Toronto.
Dr. Ahmad has studied insurgencies and visited many conflict zones for more than 20 years. She sees a pattern of resistance that repeats itself every time.
Sir Keir Starmer has signalled that he would block any attempt to ban first cousin marriage, a practice which remains prevalent in some UK communities – despite the genetic damage it can potentially do to offspring.
In Bradford, one of northern England’s biggest cities, nearly half (46 per cent) of the female Pakistani community were in a ‘consanguineous relationship’ meaning they have a common ancestor, a 2024 study found.
Independent MP Iqbal Mohamed drew huge flak in December last year after speaking against former Conservative minister Richard Holden’s motion pushing to ban first cousins from marrying.
There is a new Islamist terror threat in Europe that the French describe as ‘low-cost terrorism’. The expression was deployed in a television interview at the start of this week by Bruno
Retailleau, the Minister of the Interior. Warning France that Islamic State are ‘reconstituting themselves in Africa and elsewhere’, Retailleau said that the other menace was the individual acting on his own initiative. Unskilled in bomb-making and with no access to firearms, these ‘low-cost’ Islamists kill with knives or behind the wheel of a car.
One of these ‘low-cost’ extremists was last week jailed for life by a French court. In October 2020, Tunisian Brahim Aouissaoui murdered three Christians with a knife outside a church in Nice. It was a ferocious assault; one of the victims, a 44-year-old woman, was stabbed 25 times.
Pierre Poilievre claimed her job was ‘useless’ — but Amira Elghawaby says her role combating Islamophobia is needed more than ever
OTTAWA–In a political landscape that appears to be retreating from an emphasis on diversity and inclusion, Canada’s point-person on tackling Islamophobia says roles like hers are now needed more than ever.
“Democracy stands for ensuring that every citizen has the freedom to fully participate, to fully contribute,” said Amira Elghawaby, the country’s special representative on combating Islamophobia.
We don’t need a guide. We already know Islamophobia is just a made up term used to silence criticism & whitewash the fact that Islam is a violent supremacist cult. https://t.co/s3qYJ5MAFF

Umm this should be a massive story. She was reportedly paying him $80,000 a year. How was she paying taxes for him if he’s illegal? Was she knowingly allowing him to use a fake social security number? DOJ must investigate this! https://t.co/NJP6KKVCLy

Established in 1920 by Russian Bolsheviks, its founders would be shocked to see International Women’s Day ensconced in American culture.
Question: What do International Women’s Day and Vladimir Putin have in common?
Answer: Both were promoted by the KGB.

The Prime Minister didn’t create the acrimony that divided the Canadian population, but he did exploit it for cynical political gain
Two different Justin Trudeaus stood outside Rideau Cottage nearly five years apart, each version of the Prime Minister delivering an address that, together, defined the arc of his time in leadership.
The first Trudeau stood alone, but he had the support of his caucus, and his country, behind him. He had a beard and a slight wave to his hair. He was still married; he told Canadians that his wife, Sophie, had just been diagnosed with COVID-19.

As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau prepares to leave office, the best way to assess his political legacy is to judge the expectations he set for himself when he won his first election in 2015.
By that standard, he has clearly failed to deliver what he promised.
