‘IF YOU care about Britain’s future, Western civilisation, free speech, borders, Christianity and national identity,’ says Ben Habib, his conversation with Ayaan Hirsi Ali ‘goes to the heart of what is at stake – and what it will take to rescue and restore our country’. He is right.
Should you need confirmation of the remarkable woman that Ayaan is, for her courage, clarity of thought, sheer knowledge and for the lucidity of her communication, this interview provides it.
The pattern is clear: foreign born, Neo-Marxist academics come to America, work at major universities, teach Neo-Marxist ideas to their students, and their children, inheriting their parents’ ideologies, enter politics.
Pattern recognition — the brain’s ability to perceive similarities and relationships between objects, numbers, and events — is used in IQ tests as a way to help measure cognitive intelligence.
Here’s a pattern to consider.
Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as mayor of New York City on the steps of an old, abandoned City Hall subway station early on New Year’s Day.
The U.S. raid on Venezuela has raised the threat level in Canada. The immediate concern has been whether it would dent Canadian oil exports, though the bigger worry is if the apparent success of the military operation in Venezuela makes this country next. Donald Trump has never backed away from his suggestion that Canada should become the 51st state, and the White House has laid hungry eyes on our mineral resources.
On Wednesday, Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Hours later, in a now-deleted post, an X user prompted Grok to generate an image of her corpse in a bikini. Grok complied. Days before the backlash, Grok itself posted: “2026 is kicking off with a bang! Loving the bikini image requests—keeps things fun.”
Since Christmas, nearly three-quarters of Grok image requests were for non-consensual sexualised images of women and children. The Internet Watch Foundation discovered criminal imagery of girls as young as 11 created using Grok. Victims describe feeling violated and dehumanised.
It should come as no surprise to anyone that the western media and western Left are not covering or supporting the Iranian protests for freedom. It is anathema for them to give a helping hand to such an ‘Islamophobic’ nightmare. What is transpiring in Iran is a dreadful nightmare for the Left – because it’s oxygen, blood-supply and identity are rooted in its alliance with communism, Islam and every other adversarial totalitarian monstrous genocidal death-cult.
Government buildings burn in Iran. The end must be close now, will this demonstrate that a tyrannical Government can be removed by people power ? It’s an interesting thought isn’t it ? pic.twitter.com/aa3qBXcWt4

OTTAWA — For most of my career, I believed that if Canadians truly understood the scale of criminal infiltration, foreign interference, and systemic mismanagement within our national institutions, they would demand better. I still believe that.
But after the past several years—marked by mounting revelations, official denials, and a troubling reluctance to confront hard truths—I have come to believe something else as well: silence is no longer an option.
This is the moment a woman was placed in handcuffs by police and fined £100 for feeding some pigeons in London.
Video footage captured by a passerby showed a woman being detained by a group of officers and council enforcement workers in Harrow on Wednesday, in the latest example of jobsworth council officials slapping the public with petty fines.
A piece of paper later handed to the woman showed she had been stopped for being in breach of a Public Spaces Protection Order which covers town and district centres in Harrow.
Congrats to the videographer this is epic!
Someone just sent me this.
Woman arrested in Harrow for feeding the pigeons. Apparently about 11 police officers were involved (including PCSOs or council wardens).

No surprise in a country that arrests people for praying silently.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s racist, anti-immigrant policies are cruel – though sadly, no longer unusual – for a nation that once welcomed the “huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” His administration is making the Emma Lazarus poem at the base of the Statue of Liberty reek with hypocrisy.
Mr. Trump’s zeal for mass deportation has subjected people to callous detention conditions, as U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE)’s dragnet captures thousands who aren’t the criminals he promised to expel. In many cases, they’re also not migrants or asylum seekers – and in some, including the killing by an ICE officer of Renee Nicole Macklin Good in a residential area in Minneapolis, the consequences of these raids have been deadly.
The video would be too long to share the entire list, but here’s nearly 5 minutes worth.

If you are in the country illegally you have committed a crime. Liberal indoctrination blinds its victims making them unable to think things through.
The Trump administration announced it is suspending $129m in federal benefit payments to Minnesota amid allegations of widespread fraud in the state.
The secretary of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), Brooke Rollins, shared a letter on Friday on social media that was addressed to Minnesota’s governor, Tim Walz, and the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, notifying them of the administration’s decision and citing investigations into alleged fraud conducted by local non-profits and businesses.
“Despite a staggering, wide-reaching fraud scandal, your administrations refuse to provide basic information or take common sense measures to stop fraud. The Trump administration refuses to allow such fraud to continue,” Rollins wrote.

Bob Weir, a guitarist and songwriter who was a founding member of the Grateful Dead, which rose from jug band origins to become the kings of psychedelic rock, selling millions of records and inspiring a small nation of loyal fans, has died. He was 78.
His family announced the death in a statement on Saturday, saying that Mr. Weir had “succumbed to underlying lung issues” after receiving a cancer diagnosis in July. The statement did not say when or where he died.
Canada faced a fork in the road in the 1980 federal election: stick with the centrist Progressive Conservative government of Joe Clark, or turn hard left with the Pierre Trudeau Liberals. Canada — or more accurately, Eastern Canada — chose Trudeau.
The die was cast, and Canada would never be the same. In his final four years in office, Trudeau would fundamentally transform Canada, and not in a good way. It’s like the country fell off a cliff, politically speaking.

Disillusioned with the revolution after 68 years of US sanctions and a shattered economy, one in four Cubans have left in four years. Can the regime, and country, survive the engulfing ‘polycrisis’?
Hatri Echazabal Orta lives in Madrid, Spain. Maykel Fernández is in Charlotte, in the US, while Cristian Cuadra remains in Havana, Cuba – for now. All Cubans, all raised on revolutionary ideals and educated in good state-run schools, they have become disillusioned with the cherished national narrative that Cuba is a country of revolution and resistance. Facing a lack of political openness and poor economic prospects, each of them made the same decision: to leave.
They are not alone. After 68 years of partial sanctions and nearly 64 years of total economic embargo by the US, independent demographic studies suggest that Cuba is going through the world’s fastest population decline and is probably already below 8 million – a 25% drop in just four years, suggesting its population has shrunk by an average of about 820,000 people a year.
There are a number of root causes for this exodus, but most experts agree that the blockade, decades of economic crisis, crumbling public services, political repression and widespread disillusionment with the revolution have merged to become a “polycrisis”.
Rather than lecture its citizens about food, the United States redesigned the system around how people actually eat
The “new” Canadian Food Guide was introduced on Jan. 22, 2019 – seven years ago.
At the time, Health Canada committed to revising it within five years. That revision was due in 2024. It never happened. The guide remains frozen in time, untouched by inflation, affordability pressures, or a rapidly evolving food system.
This is excellent. Canada needs this, too. @fancypants_s https://t.co/VzDYgJ8hhs

Estimated annual fraud in the U.S. is over $500 Billion. Likely much more because not every agency reports.

In the shadow of recent scandal, the Metropolitan Police’s tougher vetting regime promised a cultural renaissance. Yet the admission yesterday that thousands of recruits slipped through without proper vetting, breeding predators within, reveals a force still haunted by its own institutional rot.
After the conviction of PC Wayne Cousins for the rape and murder of Sarah Everard while a serving officer five years ago, the Casey report into the force described an organisation that was culturally and operationally incapable of stopping very bad people from becoming warranted police officers. Tough new measures were introduced that doubled refusal rates for applicants and nearly 100 officers and staff were dismissed as a result of a re-vetting process.
