The Prosecution Of Daniel Penny Is A Soviet-Style Attack On The Right Of Self-Defense

American justice has become politicized — a weapon against enemies with hall passes for favored groups. Attorney General Merrick Garland, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and dozens of big city, George Soros-funded leftist district attorneys routinely prosecute innocent citizens while letting criminals walk free.

The actions of these powerful officers of the law fit a pattern that the great Soviet-era Russian writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn not only would have recognized, but he also detailed.

Why Mexico Will Find It Tough to Heed Trump’s Calls to Tame the Cartels

President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to slap a 25% tariff on Mexico’s goods unless it stops fentanyl trafficking and illegal migration risks setting the trade partners on a collision course over an intractable challenge for both countries.

Ahead of the new trade negotiations, Mexico’s greatest weakness has been its historic inability to confront the powerful drug gangs that control about a third of the country. Mexico has had success stopping immigration over the past year, but ending drug smuggling might be an impossible ask, in part because of strong demand in the U.S.

Fentanyl is cheap to produce and easily smuggled. In some large areas of Mexico, organized crime groups dominate local and state officials. Different attempts to fight the gangs, sometimes with U.S. support, have led to violence at home without making any dents on the drug business.

The grotesque hollowing out of womanhood

Wall of Transgender Heroines

First they came for women’s bathrooms. Then their rape shelters. Then their sports. Now they’re coming for their prizes. The BBC has announced the winner of its Women’s Footballer of the Year Award and you won’t believe who it is. Actually you will. It’s someone who once failed to meet gender-eligibility rules for the women’s game. It’s someone who was excluded from a major tournament after failing ‘gender-verification tests’. It’s someone with such elevated levels of testosterone that they were told to take hormone suppressants if they wanted to kick a ball again. Yes, the BBC’s female footballer of 2024 is someone whose femaleness has been called into question by some experts. They’re taking the piss now, aren’t they?

Non-crime hate incident recorded after neighbour played Bob Marley songs

A neighbour who blasted Bob Marley music was recorded by police as a non-crime hate incident (NCHI).

North Wales Police decided the incident was one of “racial prejudice” after a homeowner complained that the playing of the reggae artist’s tracks was a “way to mock her”.

The incident, details of which were released under Freedom of Information (FoI) laws, was one of 126 recorded by the force between June 2023 and June 2024.

The Doomed Marriage of the Far Left and Islamism

The far-left deputies of La France Insoumise have just quietly proposed a bill in the French National Assembly to repeal the offence of apology for terrorism. Today, the end of this legal offence would mainly benefit these same MPs, who give unlimited support to organisations close to Hamas and Hezbollah. To mark the occasion, Le Figaro Magazine has devoted a major investigation to revealing the many links between the French far Left and Islamism—at the crossroads of electoral opportunism and ideological conviction.

Apparently Comfort Sakoma-Fadugba’s Christian point of view was a bit too inclusive

When Canadian progressives talk about “inclusion,” you can be sure that Christians are about to be excluded.

When the Canadian Armed Forces issued a directive instructing chaplains that they must be “inclusive” at Remembrance Day ceremonies, for example, they meant that Christian prayers and traditional symbolism were to be excluded, especially because — as a 2022 report from the DND noted — Christianity is “a source of suffering and intergenerational trauma” for many Canadians, with this being “especially true for many lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and two-spirited members of Canadian society.”

‘Soros of the right’ Elon Musk eyes progressive prosecutors as next target

The billionaire told advisors ahead of the election that his pro-Trump super PAC should aim at “Soros DAs” across the country.

Donald Trump adviser Brooke Rollins had a question for the crowd celebrating his reelection at his Mar-a-Lago estate earlier this month. “Where is the George Soros of the right?” she called from the stage, referring to the billionaire investor and prolific liberal donor.

To loud cheers, a younger billionaire in the audience threw his right hand into the air: Elon Musk.

Tom Mulcair: Violent protests expose crisis of confidence in leadership

Against a backdrop of official failure and inaction, last weekend one private citizen showed what leadership looked like. When it became clear that a franchisee of the Second Cup chain had issued a loaded antisemitic threat of a “final solution,” CEO Peter Mammas acted unflinchingly and cancelled their franchise contract.

Direct, immediate legal consequences for illegal and threatening behaviour. Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante and her police chief, Fady Dagher, should be taking notes.

Trudeau cannot live in denial about U.S. border, tariff situation: Legault

QUEBEC — The best way to take away U.S. president-elect Donald’s Trump’s complaints about the Canadian border is to beef up controls, Premier François Legault said Wednesday.

Arriving for question period at the legislature a few hours before a meeting of Canada’s premiers and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Legault said he expects a concrete plan from Ottawa.

Should a Government Help People Die?

Jamie Hale has been in and out of the hospital for more than half his life. The 33-year-old Brit needs a wheelchair and relies on partial ventilation and round-the-clock care. Several years ago, he was critically ill and hospitalized for six months “as a direct result of not having had that care,” he told me from the back of a car on his way to a weekly visit at a National Health Service clinic in London. “I’d be dead without the NHS,” he concludes.

Even so, Hale—who has a master’s degree in philosophy, politics, and the economics of health—often thinks about how much his life costs the state. “I’m very aware I’m not cost-effective,” he added. “It’s very hard not to be aware you are the kind of financial burden the system is creaking under.”

Dear Kamala, Please Stick Around

Let’s give thanks for Kamala and wish her a bright future as the leader of the Democrat Party for as long as they can stand her and then some.

On Monday, the internet was full of discussion about Kamala Harris. And yes, you are permitted to wonder why.

Let’s face it, nobody in America gives a damn about her, and nobody should. She’s an utterly forgettable hack politician, a blithering incompetent who demonstrated beyond doubt that she can’t give honest or thoughtful answers even in a friendly interview. Worse, she showed off a complete lack of ethics, throwing out bile-filled charges that Donald Trump was a fascist dictator in the making as a means of, at least, scaring Democrat voters to the polls or, more accurately, attempting to gin up one of her party’s crazies to assassinate him.
