Britain’s Conservative Party Is Dying

The public scandals and internal disagreements engulfing the Labour Party provide an all-pervasive soundtrack to life in Britain today. But it’s not just the governing party that is stuck in a quagmire of its own making. The Conservatives face an existential crisis, too. With a much-reduced presence in the House of Commons, collapsing poll ratings, and, most recently, a string of high-profile defections to Nigel Farage’s populist challenger Reform UK, the future of the “natural party of government” now seems in doubt.


Nothing but disappointment, really no different than Labour.

Amy Hamm: Poilievre’s immigration plan a political winner

“We have the immigration system under control!” Prime Minister Mark Carney shouted during Question Period Tuesday.

Conservative Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre could not disagree more. (Nor should the millions of Canadians without family doctors, or the thousands sitting on health-care waitlists.) Poilievre is on a tear against Liberal immigration policy and what he alleges is its detrimental impact on Canadians’ access to healthcare.

Back to the GDR? Why east Germans doubt reunification was worth it

A month after the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, the East German rock star Petra Zieger and her band winched their instruments up to the top of the Brandenburg Gate, looming 85ft over the government district.

For a little over a decade she and her husband, the band’s drummer Peter Taudte, had been testing the boundaries of what artists could get away with under the stifling censorship of the socialist German Democratic Republic (GDR).

Her hit single Das Eis taut (“The Ice is Thawing”), thought to be the only piece of music ever performed atop the landmark, captured the zeitgeist: a volatile mixture of optimism, wariness, uncertainty and excitement.

Pierre Poilievre’s anti-globalism is a tough sell in a Donald Trump world

Had Pierre Poilievre had won the last election, he would not have gone to Davos to address the World Economic Forum, as Mark Carney now famously did — to Donald Trump’s scorn and world acclaim.

The Conservative leader has promised for years to steer well clear of the annual gathering in Switzerland, and committed once again in the 2025 campaign to ban ministers from any participation in the forum.

So prime minister Poilievre would have missed the chance that Carney seized earlier this year to declare to Trump and the world that Canada is shifting its gaze to a future less dependent on a now unreliable ally.


China is reliantly totalitarian.

Spain’s Government: Spinning Out of Control

Between corruption and radicalization, Spain’s government seems to be spinning out of control.

In 1936, Spain plunged into civil war. A proud nation collapsed into violence, fire, and devastation. The Spanish Civil War, which set a communist-dominated Republican left against an authoritarian nationalist right, claimed roughly half a million lives. Priests were dragged through the streets, beaten, and mutilated — ears, noses, even genitals cut off — before being shot or having their throats slit. Nuns were raped prior to execution, in cases documented across several regions. Churches were set ablaze with priests still inside. In many towns, militiamen forced clergy to drink motor oil or gasoline before burning them alive. Spain’s right wing, not to be outdone, killed just as many.

After Trump threats, Canadian military recruits surge

OTTAWA — Defense Minister David McGuinty says rising global uncertainty is driving a surge of Canadians to enlist in the military.

“Applications are up because Canadians want to serve,” McGuinty said Tuesday at an announcement about increasing and upgrading the stockpile of housing on military bases. He said in the past eight months, there has been a 13 percent increase in new recruits to the Canadian Armed Forces.

“They’re very engaged in the project called ‘Canada’ right now. I think they want to make sure that Canada remains a secure and sovereign country.”


13% of very little isn’t all that much. And how much of that increase is owed to poor economic circumstances?

Tlaib Wears ‘F*** ICE’ Pin, Omar Screams, Dems Won’t Applaud Illegal Alien Crime Victims

You will be shocked to know that Democrats are despicable scumbags with no souls. And they are making that disturbingly clear at the State of the Union address.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Hades) is wearing a “F**k ICE” pin to Donald Trump’s State of the Union (SOTU) address, proving again how utterly trashy she is. I’ve seen sewers that are less full of crap than she is. She also screamed hysterically and vilely at Trump when he called out Democrats for supporting illegal alien killers and fraudsters, in which she was joined by fellow Squad member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Hamas).

OTTAWA – Canada is sending $8 million in food aid to people in Cuba, where a U.S. oil blockade has triggered a humanitarian crisis.

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand and MP Randeep Sarai, secretary of state for international development, say the funding is aimed at addressing urgent needs.

The funding will be delivered through United Nations agencies instead of the Cuban government.

Bill Gates admits he had 2 affairs with Russian women, apologizes to staff over Jeffrey Epstein ties

Says the guy who wanted to slip STD meds into his unknowing wife

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has admitted he had two affairs with Russian women while married to his now-ex-wife, Melinda French Gates, and issued a groveling apology for his links with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Gates, 70, told staffers at his foundation on Tuesday that he flew on a private plane with the disgraced financier and spent time with him in the US and abroad, but didn’t participate in any crime, according to the Wall Street Journal.

“I did nothing illicit. I saw nothing illicit,” Gates said in the town hall meeting. “To be clear, I never spent any time with the victims, the women around him.”

Six in Ten Believe French Far-Left Party ‘Complacent‘ over Antifa Threat

The majority of French voters believe that the far-left La France Insoumise party of Jean-Luc Mélenchon have poorly handled its response to the alleged Antifa killing of a conservative student in Lyon and has been too “complacent” in the face of the violence of the so-called anti-fascist movement.

Where is Canada’s immigration minister? Community groups are asking

When Lena Diab was appointed head of Canada’s Immigration Department, community expectations were high.

The new minister is the daughter of immigrants, is trilingual and spent part of her childhood in Lebanon. Diab had also previously served in cabinet in her home province of Nova Scotia.

“It seemed like the perfect plan,” said Stephan Reichhold, executive director of the Quebec-based Table de concertation des organismes au service des personnes réfugiées et immigrantes.


Knives out. Someone wants a place at the trough.

China to send Iran aircraft carrier killing missiles

Iran is close to buying a supersonic missile from China that could destroy American aircraft carriers.

Officials from the Islamic Republic are in advanced negotiations with Beijing to purchase the CM-302 cruise weapon, which is designed to damage warships, according to Reuters.

The news agency cited six sources as saying that negotiations, which began two years ago, sped up after the 12-day war between Israel and Iran last June.
