Jimmy Kimmel: Fake Progressive Hero Of The Year

That Jimmy Kimmel morphed from a fat, whiny side-kick to Adam Carolla into a less-fat, whinier leftist whose second wife neutered him and keeps his testicles in a Mason jar under the stairs should surprise no one. Fat dudes, even after they lose the weight, always remain fat in their heads and act fat for the rest of their lives. And Jimmy Kimmel acts fat – both the victim of society’s bulk judgment, and the perp of stuffing his face, figuratively. This self-martyrdom makes him the perfect progressive hero.

Cory Morgan: Canada Faces Unprecedented Challenges to Its Unity in 2026

The future of Canada’s federation will be a top issue in 2026. An independence referendum is all but assured to be held in Alberta next fall while independence groups are organizing in Saskatchewan and pressuring the Scott Moe government to allow a provincial referendum. In Quebec, the Parti Québécois (PQ) is strongly favoured to win in a fall election by campaigning on holding another referendum on independence.

Canada’s unity is in question, and if citizens in all parts of the country don’t address it in the next year, the secession of a province could become a reality.

Shaking and tearful, child brides are big business in Iraq

Ruweida, a bridal make-up artist in Sadr City, says her clients this year were “almost entirely children”

Dozens of baby-faced schoolgirls drift through worn, neon-lit shops on “bridal boulevard” in Baghdad’s Sadr City wearing black abayas soon to be traded for puffball wedding gowns picked by their mothers.

Among them is 12-year-old Amani*, who is due to meet her 17-year-old fiancé for the first time on their wedding night — a betrothal arranged, according to relatives, “without the need for her permission” because, despite her tiny, shaking frame engulfed in an adult-sized tulle gown, she has reached puberty and her marriage was approved by a local cleric.

Cocaine-carrying migrants were destroying this Arizona ranch. Then Trump stopped the crossings

Sue Chilton was home alone last year when a group of four migrants with sinister face tattoos appeared on her doorstep.

Recognising the markings, the diminutive 83-year-old refused to let them into the house but put together a picnic for them to eat outside. “Sue hosted MS-13 for lunch,” howled Jim, her husband, referring to the brutal Salvadorian gang.

The Chiltons are fifth-generation ranchers who have farmed cattle on the Tucson sector of the Arizona border for nearly four decades. But their 50,000 acre ranch fell prey to the Mexican cartels, who exploited the undulating scrubland and a five-mile gap in the border wall that Mrs Chilton refers to as “the door”, to traffic migrants and drugs into the country.

Standardized testing is vital to the education system

Provincial student assessment is approaching a moment of reckoning. Canada’s flagship agency, the Ontario Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO), is now under review. Thirty years after its creation, Education Minister Paul Calandra announced a fresh review of the independent student testing agency earlier this month, triggered by another round of disappointing provincial test results. It’s time to bolster EQAO and encourage other provinces to build upon the lessons.


I get the impression that education in Ontario’s urban centres has progressed to the don’t offend the Muslims stage.

Test them on flat earth theory. Surprise us all.

Tommy Robinson says he found Jesus in prison. Churches disagree about how to respond

Gary made sure he got to Whitehall early for the “unite the kingdom” (UTK) outdoor carol service in the run-up to Christmas. After about 150,000 people turned up for the last rally called by Tommy Robinson in September, the leader of the anti-migrant far-right movement, he wanted to be sure of a prime position.

He needn’t have worried. About 1,500 people – perhaps 1% of September’s turnout – came to Whitehall to sing carols and hear preachers in the twilight of a mid-December day. Robinson had publicly insisted the event was a non-political celebration of Christmas; maybe that deterred some of movement’s more ardent activists.

Crosses and flags were on display, but there was little overt talk – either from the preachers or people in the crowd – of Robinson’s favoured political themes. One did complain loudly that her grandchildren were “banned from celebrating Christmas” at school; another group of women handed out leaflets calling for communities to be “protected from illegal immigration”.

The Public Health Agency of Canada is under renewed fire after confirming it wasted more than $170 million on medical supplies that have since expired and are now bound for the dump.

The revelation has MPs demanding to know why no senior officials have been dismissed over years of inventory mismanagement.
