Sweden Shuts Down Publicly Funded School Over Jihad Links

Swedish authorities have shut down a school in Stockholm after the Swedish security police Säpo produced evidence that the students attending the school were at risk of becoming radicalised as several staff members have ties to Jihadism.

The Swedish Schools Inspectorate revoked a permit for ALM Education, which runs the Cordoba International School, named after the capital of Islamic-ruled Spain according to the school, in the Stockholm suburb of Kista as the newspaper Aftonbladet reports that board members of the company had ties to Islamic extremist groups.

Anthony Furey: Poilievre Housing Video Shows Substance, Respect for the Voter

Before Justin Trudeau became Prime Minister of Canada, he released a lengthy video on his “sunny ways” philosophy. While those two words quickly became Trudeau’s trademark, the video detailed how the phrase actually came from Wilfird Laurier, who had served as Liberal PM of Canada a century earlier.

It was a whimsical video full of cartoon images that told a narrative about the history of the country and Trudeau’s vision for it. The video—and the announcement of the “sunny ways” agenda—received a great deal of attention at the time.

Why are people still denying Hamas’s rapes?

Graphic reports this week continue to be ignored

There’s never been a better moment to be a rapist. Almost 200 women report a rape to the police every day in England and Wales, yet fewer than four will see their attackers punished. Rape denial is commonplace, not just in relation to what victims say but whether it happened in the first place. Endless excuses are made for defendants: the victim had been drinking, didn’t say “no” loudly enough, or didn’t have visible injuries.

Jamie Sarkonak: The progressives appalled anyone cares about Hamas’s rape brigades

Leave it to Canada to try to reconcile accounts of Hamas gang rape with the modern morals of the West. Take the Canadian embassy to Israel, for example.

“Sexual & gender-based violence impact both Israeli & Palestinian women and girls, and also men and boys, in distinct ways,” it wrote in a post this week. “Canada condemns all use of sexual and gender-based violence as a tactic of war.”

‘Intentional Attack’: Alberta and Saskatchewan React to Ottawa’s Oil and Gas Emissions Cap Announcement

Following the federal government’s announcement of a regulatory framework to cap oil and gas emissions by 35 to 38 percent below 2019 levels, the premiers of Alberta and Saskatchewan have indicated they will fight back against the policy and protect their “constitutional right” to develop their own energy sectors.

“The recent announcement on what they are calling an emissions cap, but today’s announced de facto production cap on Alberta’s oil and gas sector amounts to an intentional attack by the federal government on the economy of Alberta and the financial well-being of millions of Albertans and Canadians,” Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said during a press conference shortly after the Dec. 7 announcement.

Hanukkah celebrations: ‘We’ve had to hide our Jewishness’

Today marks both the two month anniversary of the war in Gaza and the start of the Hanukkah festival period. For Jews worldwide, it is a sombre occasion as this is the first Jewish festival since the Oct 7 attacks that saw gunmen storm communities near the border with the Gaza Strip, killing hundreds of Israelis and taking hostages.

As the war has unfolded, both anti-Semitism and Islamophobia have skyrocketed. In the 61 days inclusive between the Hamas terror attack on Israel and Dec 6, Community Security Trust (CST) recorded at least 1,890 anti-Semitic incidents across the UK.

Canada’s Homeless Encampments See Political Element Taking Root

More and bigger homeless encampments have been set up across Canada recently and, with the help of advocacy groups, they’re taking on a more permanent feel.

Hunkering down for the winter, some have generators, heating stoves, winterized tents, and more. Advocacy groups have helped them obtain these supplies, along with legal help to stop attempts at moving them.

Revealed: how top pop stars are used to ‘launder the reputation’ of Koch family

Charles Koch – loves keeping the poor poor

Last September, the rapper Killer Mike was DJing hip-hop classics like Snoop Dogg’s Ain’t No Fun at a music festival afterparty in Louisville, Kentucky. “The inspiration for the night’s set is freedom of speech, so say what the fuck you want!” he told a crowd of hundreds. Killer Mike, half of the duo Run the Jewels, is known for speaking out against police brutality and racial injustice, as well as campaigning for Bernie Sanders.

But this night’s set was co-sponsored by Stand Together Music, an organization backed by the libertarian billionaire Charles Koch, who made his fortune in fossil fuels. Other sponsors of the party included the free-speech group Fire (which has received millions of dollars in contributions from the Charles G Koch charitable foundation), as well as the music outlet Spin, an official partner of Stand Together Music.

I have zero respect for a billionaire who advocates for open borders.

China’s Xi goes full Stalin with purge

Something is rotten in the imperial court of Chairman Xi Jinping.

While the world is distracted by war in the Middle East and Ukraine, a Stalin-like purge is sweeping through China’s ultra-secretive political system, with profound implications for the global economy and even the prospects for peace in the region.

The signals emanating from Beijing are unmistakable, even as China’s security services have ramped up repression to totalitarian levels, making it almost impossible to know what is really happening inside the country.

Brewing truth: Climate doomsayers’ cooked up coffee crisis

Every day, people across the world wake up to news about climate change affecting their lives.  With the seeming randomness of a roulette wheel, the doomsday clique of the climate world daily selects a fresh topic to sow seeds of anxiety among the populace.

Popular things easily recognized — even cherished — by people are continually identified as being at risk of being damaged or destroyed by climate change.  Coffee, for example, is a commodity experiencing a surge in popularity, and there are no prizes for guessing what climate doomsayers are saying now.

Biden is Preparing to Blame Republicans for Ukraine Loss

Politics is not so much about getting things done, as it is about whom to blame when those things go wrong.

The Biden administration chose to tether a limited Israel military resupply package to a huge one for Ukraine. The goal here was to put Republicans on the wrong side of the Israel debate and then, in the wake of the bad news from Ukraine’s offensive, to blame them for the loss of the war.

The self-delusion of secular Jews

What can we Jews not accomplish? There were three years between the ovens of Auschwitz and the foundation of the Jewish State. And then the Israelis transformed the wasteland between the River and the Sea into an agricultural phenomenon, supplying much of Europe’s produce. Jews even wrote the world’s greatest Christmas songs: “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” by Mendelssohn, a converted Jew (a “Jew”), and “White Christmas” by Irving Berlin.
