You know you have a Muslim problem when … Belgium Sends in the Troops—at Home

Monday, March 23rd saw soldiers deployed on Belgian streets, initially in Brussels and Antwerp. The initial three-month commitment will involve 200 soldiers, tasked with protecting Jewish community sites. Operations will be extended to Liège, including military backing for the railway police—and for large-scale integrated police operations (FIPA).

While the troop contingent will guard synagogues and schools, part of its assignment also includes working against the Kingdom’s burgeoning narcotics trade, especially in the capital.

Canadians face ‘tsunami’ of transnational repression in coming years because Trump is Hitler cyber-research group says

Canada and the rest of the democratic world are facing a “tsunami” of transnational and digital repression with the rise of authoritarianism in the U.S., the arrival of artificial intelligence and a softening of attitudes on human rights, according to a respected Canadian cyber-research group.

The director of the Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy issued the chilly warning in a presentation to be delivered Monday to a House of Commons committee studying transnational repression.

I agree technology inches us closer to a surveillance state every day but The Munk School suffers compulsive onanism.

No, MAGA Is Not Falling Apart Because a Few Podcasters Did Not Get Their Way

Oh no, the America First/MAGA coalition is completely falling apart because – and I want to make sure I’ve got this correct – Donald Trump has systematically destroyed a bunch of Third World semi-human pagan savages who have been murdering Americans for nearly 50 years before they could top a missile with a hot rock and nuke Philadelphia. Yeah, the coalition is gravely disappointed – but not in Trump. It’s disappointed that a small component of his coalition that, for reasons that remain elusive and probably involve extreme greed, a psychotic break, gross stupidity, and/or libertarianism, which is an amalgamation of all three, has decided to adopt views that are functionally identical to those of the damn communists. This is both inevitable and unsustainable.

As Arctic Threats Rise, Canada May Need to Lean on the United States

For the past seven decades, Canada has been the junior partner in a military agreement with the United States to protect the Canadian Arctic.

The Canadian and American flags could be seen billowing at a distance in the all-white Arctic landscape — the Maple Leaf visibly lower than the Stars and Stripes.

The asymmetry had a simple explanation. Flags across Canada, including this one in the hamlet of Cambridge Bay in the Canadian High Arctic, were flying at half-staff to mourn the recent mass killing at a school in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia.

But its symbolism, however unintended, was a reminder of Canada’s increasingly uncomfortable situation in its Arctic region: Unable to defend it by itself, Canada remains dependent on the United States, whose president has repeatedly threatened to annex it, and who has also set his eyes on Canada’s Arctic neighbor, Greenland.

The Son of Cuba Takes on the Last Communist Neighbor

Confirmed 99-0 and sworn in as the 72nd Secretary of State on January 21, 2025, the first Latino ever to hold the position, Marco Rubio pledged that every State Department decision would be governed by three questions: Does it make us stronger? Safer? More prosperous? That framework marks a return to the peace-through-strength paradigm that has consistently produced results when American leaders have had the conviction to enforce it. In a world still recovering from four years of Biden-Harris weakness and strategic retreat, Rubio’s Cuban-exile roots, legal training, and Senate-honed discipline position him to execute the most consequential foreign policy reset since the Cold War ended.

Canada’s wait-and-see economy is in a very fragile state

In the past few weeks, news on the Canadian economic front has tilted negative overall.

Statistics Canada came out with a February jobs report that showed employment declined by a net 84,000, which came on top of a loss of 25,000 jobs in January. The cumulative decline makes it the worst start to a year employment-wise since 2009.

GDP figures released late last month showed that Canada’s economy contracted in the final quarter of 2025, capping the weakest year for growth since the pandemic.

How Well Do Americans Understand the Melting Pot?

Data from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century show why certain immigrant groups assimilated—and offer lessons for today.

When Americans hear the term “melting pot,” they often think of New York City: tenement blocks, Ellis Island, the Lower East Side, a montage of pushcart vendors becoming small business owners. Our national mythology about assimilation is rooted in the urban and Northeastern experience, suggesting that large, multicultural cities best assimilated immigrants.

Dual citizens weigh Trump, taxes in decision to renounce U.S. citizenship

Ella Heyder is bracing for a breakup, even though she already moved out decades ago.

She’s contemplating cutting ties altogether with her home country, the United States of America, and President Donald Trump.

“I’m quite disturbed by what’s happening in the U.S. under Trump’s regime. It’s a fascist, imperialist regime,” Heyder said as she and others waved signs outside the American Embassy in Ottawa during what has become a twice-weekly protest against the current U.S. administration.

Begging Hamas to Disarm – The Misguided Approach of Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’

US President Donald J. Trump’s “Board of Peace” has reportedly presented Hamas with a written proposal on how ​it could lay down its weapons, according to a recent report.

The proposal “was submitted to Hamas during meetings in Cairo over the past week.” The talks were attended by Nikolay Mladenov, the Trump-appointed “Board of Peace” envoy to the Gaza Strip, and Aryeh Lightstone, a US aide to Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff.

ICE Agents Are Now Replacing TSA Workers Whom Democrats Defunded. Enjoy the Schadenfreude.

Donald Trump just dipsey-doodled the Democrats.

Only Trump can find leverage in the Democrats’ TSA defunding — turning those broke, unpaid TSA agents and the disastrously long lines at the nation’s airports into a teachable, brilliant, GOTCHA moment to behold. When Democrats figure out what hit them, they’ll be so tattooed with this disaster, even the leftist screechers will lead the effort to restore TSA funding.

2 men accused of fathering hundreds of kids banned from donating sperm in Quebec

Quebec’s Superior Court has temporarily barred a man and his son from donating sperm after they were accused of fathering hundreds of children.

The injunction against the two men will remain in effect while the wider case against them proceeds on its merits.

They are being sued by a woman who has had three children using the sperm of one man and a fourth child with the genetic material of the man’s son.

It’s like laboratory incest.
