The Simi Valley, California Police Department had a momentous announcement on Wednesday: they revealed that they were “investigating a possible ‘hate incident’ at an Islamic Society of Simi Valley building,” according to NBC Los Angeles. What kind of “hate incident”? That’s unclear. What is clear from several recent incidents, however, is that although most people, especially political and law enforcement officials, are much more worried about “Islamophobia” than they are about Islamic jihad, the latter is actually much more of a threat.
On patrol with Canadian forces securing the Arctic as global threats grow
A simple row of spruce trees marked the finish line for Canadian army reservists and combat members after a marathon two months pushing through one of the harshest environments on Earth: Canada’s vast Arctic.
The patrol, which ended on Friday in Churchill, Manitoba, was the largest northern mission in the history of the Canadian Rangers – a branch of the Canadian Armed Forces responsible for monitoring the country’s remote regions. For 5,200km (3,200 miles), they moved across the Arctic, following a route that had not been attempted in 80 years.
They drove snowmobiles across ice-covered terrain, navigating blizzards and high winds as they travelled for hours between remote northern communities. Some nights, they camped on the ice in tents as temperatures plunged to -60C (-76F).
Pride Month Ain’t What It Used to Be: Many Events Cancelled, Scaled Back Nationwide
If you were to celebrate the Tucson Pride Festival this past February, you were out of luck. Organizers of Tucson Pride had to dissolve their organization and cancel the annual festival, which for some reason wasn’t held during national Pride Month, which is in June.
Avi Lewis won the NDP leadership. Now what?
OTTAWA—Avi Lewis concluded nearly four decades ago that the NDP had lost its way.
He was a 20-year-old roadie on the Ontario New Democratic Party’s 1987 election campaign, helping leader Bob Rae in an uphill fight to take credit for the NDP’s policy wins under a minority Liberal government.
It didn’t work. Premier David Peterson got his majority and the NDP lost six seats.
The media are still trying to breathe life into the commies Carney must want it so.
Q: You don't have a seat in parliament… will you be doing what Poilievre did, which is persuading one of your caucus to gently step aside?
Avi Lewis: There is no way I'm asking one of these spectacular people to step aside. Not in a million years. pic.twitter.com/NiJD5z2TXA

Migrants Overrepresented in German Violent Crime Data
Germany’s latest police crime statistics (PKS) have reignited the migration debate, with new data showing a stark overrepresentation of foreign nationals in violent offences.
According to the figures, non-German suspects—particularly from Syria and Afghanistan—feature disproportionately in serious crimes. While foreign nationals account for around 15% of the population, their share of violent crime suspects is significantly higher.
‘Buy Canadian Trudeau’ lives it up at California music festival amid ongoing Canada-US trade dispute
Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was pictured alongside his girlfriend Katy Perry at the 2026 Coachella Music Festival in Indio, California.
Trudeau has received some backlash for this amid ongoing pressure from the Canadian government for Canadians to “Buy Canadian” during the ongoing trade dispute with the United States.

Goodbye NATO, Hello America First
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was founded in 1949 and has grown to 32 nations.
Not surprisingly, the United States of America is the largest contributor to the organization, supplying 16 percent of the overall NATO budget and having the largest expenditure on national defense, totaling $980 billion, which is 62 percent of the overall defense spending of all member nations.
Oh boy …
British General Admits That It Can’t Deploy a Division Abroad
How pathetic is the British Army?
How about this: it cannot actually deploy a heavy (armored) division to Europe if required.
The true story of how human rights tribunals descended into complete madness
The joke that initially cost comedian Mike Ward $42,000 had to do with a boy known to Quebec as “Le Petit Jérémy” — Jérémy Gabriel — a regional celebrity who sang for the Pope when he was little. Gabriel has Treacher-Collins syndrome.
“He was kind of like a Make-a-Wish Foundation type kid, right?” Ward told Joe Rogan when he went on the podcast in 2018.

A Marine Corps Hollowed Out
Tanks, engineers, and snipers disappeared under Force Design — and critics say Commandant Eric Smith chose loyalty over readiness.
With the firing of the Army Chief of Staff, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth almost completely purged all the Biden era service chiefs save one, and that is the one who should have been fired first. Marine Corps Commandant General Eric Smith has proven himself unfit for the office. Of the fired general and flag officers (GO/FOs) sacked, several were seen as DEI hires and one was apparently purged for being too close to a former Secretary of Defense who was a DEI advocate. OK so far. Pentagon chiefs have a right to leaders who fully support their agendas. However, they should not tolerate being lied to. That is exactly what Smith did.
WTF?

How the housing crisis damaged Canada’s economy and productivity
For years, Canada’s housing crisis and its productivity slump have been treated as parallel emergencies. One was a matter of affordability and social equity, the other a question of economic competitiveness.
However a growing body of research, and a pair of Canadian experts who have spent years studying both, say that framing has always been wrong. They insist the country is paying a steep price for keeping the two conversations apart.
Researchers from Harvard’s Growth Lab contend Canada’s restrictive urban zoning is short-circuiting the normal mechanism by which productivity gains in major cities become national prosperity.
The Phantom Base
Ginned up by social-media influencers, the so-called right-wing civil war has little connection to MAGA voters’ concerns.
Is a civil war tearing apart the American Right? The question, which doubles as a threat, has haunted Donald Trump’s second term. Ironically, it stems from the same tectonic shifts in media that Trump once leveraged to win the presidency. The digital insurgency he cultivated and, at times, maneuvered so cannily has now turned on him.
Why Qatar’s Al-Jazeera Should be Banned
The death of another Palestinian “journalist” working for Qatar’s Al-Jazeera TV empire has once again triggered outrage and drawn condemnations from some in the international community. Yet those who rushed to denounce Israel for targeting the Gaza-based “journalist” are ignoring voluminous evidence that he and some of his Palestinian colleagues were, in fact, active members of terrorist organizations.
