The New Democrat Male — Barefoot and Pregnant
The Democrats want to elect an incompetent woman as president and a vice president thoroughly in touch with his feminine side.
It’s increasingly difficult to understand why any straight white male could remain a Democrat. Happily, there are fewer of these as time goes by, most being nimble enough to recognize aggravated misandry when they see it. But the remnant doesn’t seem to understand that the donkeys blame straight white males for every bad thing that’s ever happened or is happening on Earth. History’s scofflaws.
How Gen Z voters are driving the rise of the AfD in Germany
Exit poll data shows not only a remarkable voting trend among under-25s but a transformation in the way general voters view the hard-right party
The resounding defeat of Germany’s ruling parties in Saxony and Thuringia has inevitably prompted a great deal of gossip-mongering about whether the chancellor might be ousted or his coalition might finally fall apart.
The conjecture is not completely futile. Even if the government is likely to hold together through sheer inertia and fear of something worse, there is certainly plenty of mischief afoot.
In dueling TV ads, NDP and Conservatives try to define Poilievre to union voters
OTTAWA – New Democrats and Conservatives have both launched television ads that attempt to define Tory Leader Pierre Poilievre to union voters, a group politicians see as having increased power in the next federal election.
The commercial the New Democrats launched across the country last week featured union leaders describing Poilievre as a career politician who “has never been a worker and never stood with workers.” Images include shots of party Leader Jagmeet Singh on picket lines in various locales throughout the country.
Singh? Mr. Rolex? A champion of labour?
The Venezuelan practice of property invasions has emigrated to America
Viral footage showing armed Venezuelan gang members taking over an apartment complex in a Denver suburb has shocked thousands, especially after Mayor Mike Coffman of Aurora, Colorado joined Fox News’s Sandra Smith on Thursday to explain how failed border policies are affecting his city — which is around 700 miles away from the US-Mexico border. In the interview, Coffman confirmed that at least two apartment buildings in Aurora were taken by what some suspect are members of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang.
Canada demands Hamas surrender
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau harshly condemned the killings of six Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.
I expect all remaining hostages to be freed and all Hamas leaders to surrender after this.
‘Jews are beginning to lose hope for a future in France’ – interview
In the wake of the La Grande-Motte Synagogue attack and political turmoil, France Central Consistory vice president and Marseilles Consistory president Michel Cohen Tenoudji expressed concern to The Jerusalem Post about the future of French Jewry and fate of the French Republic.
After the August 24 arson terrorist attack on the Beth Yaacov synagogue in southern France, the Jewish community was shocked and outraged, said Cohen Tenoudji. The attack by the 33-year-old Algerian man, which wounded a police officer, amplified fears about rising antisemitism in the country.
Turkey detains 15 members of anti-American youth group for assaulting 2 U.S. servicemen
ANKARA, Turkey — Turkish authorities on Monday detained 15 members of an anti-American youth organization who physically assaulted two U.S. military personnel in the city of Izmir, the state-run Anadolu news agency reported.
The agency said members of the Turkish Youth Union, which is affiliated with the Patriotic Party — a small, nationalist political party without parliament seats — were detained on the orders of a prosecutor.
The group posted a video of the incident on social media platform X and said they placed sacks over the heads of soldiers who had disembarked from the U.S. Navy amphibious assault ship USS Wasp.

Hostages were executed days before being found, autopsies show
The six hostages whose bodies were recovered by Israeli forces from a Rafah tunnel in southern Gaza overnight Saturday were shot multiple times at close range just days before their discovery, Israel’s Health Ministry said on Sunday.
According to examinations conducted by the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute in Tel Aviv, the captives were murdered 48 to 72 hours before the autopsies, which would place their deaths at some point between Thursday and Friday morning.
Reagan the Movie: How the Mainstream Media Can’t Help Itself
Critics hated it, but audiences loved it. ’nuff Said?
On Friday, I did something I hadn’t done since before COVID-19, I went and saw a movie premiere on the day it opened in an actual movie theater. With my childhood friend Susan, whom I’ve known for more than five decades—a dyed-in-the-wool conservative just like me—we went and saw Reagan. And unlike most critics on Rotten Tomatoes who rated it at 18% and elsewhere, we loved it along with a virtually unprecedented 98% of Rotten Tomato viewers.
WTF?
