France has failed its daughters

The woman accused of murdering Lola Daviet had been served a deportation order. So why was she still in France?

It is just over three years since a 12-year-old Parisian girl called Lola was raped and murdered in a crime that shocked France. The woman accused of the murder, 27-year-old Dahbia Benkired, is now on trial and on Monday the court heard chilling evidence from a man who encountered the defendant shortly after the death of Lola.

Karim Bellazoug told the court that Benkired was carrying a large trunk and told him she had items to sell. When he glanced inside he saw what looked like a body. “I thought she was crazy, that she was a psychopath,” Bellazoug declared.

Terry Newman: AI campaign ad warns Zohran Mamdani will turn New York into Canada

Wednesday evening, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s official X account posted an AI-generated campaign attack ad against his opponent in the New York City mayoral race, titled, “Criminals for Zohran Mamdani.” The video features several criminal characters endorsing Mamdani due to his proposed decriminalization policies: a domestic abuser bragging that a “kumbaya” social worker will show up instead of an officer; a smug shoplifter comforted by decriminalization laws; a drug dealer hailing the policies as open season; a sex trafficker revealing a van full of women and boasting of better business; and more. It ends with a protester burning an American flag and declaring, “Long live the intifada.”

Elon Musk: Star Trek Stalinist

He’s pioneering an age of autocracy

As we approach the anniversary of Donald Trump’s second presidential victory, now is a good time to reflect on the world’s richest and most powerful man. No, not the President of the United States — but Elon Musk. After buying Twitter three years ago, the billionaire effectively reshaped elite discourse overnight, before then going on to bankroll Trump’s third presidential campaign to the tune of $280 million. And if that represents the largest series of individual political donations in global history, that pales compared to what comes next. Earlier this month, Tesla announced a new compensation package potentially earning Musk $1 trillion, assuming he helps his firm reach a series of lofty performance milestones.

Regardless of whether Musk does secure his full payout, when someone finally becomes the world’s first trillionaire, odds are it’ll be him. When that happens, his wealth would rival or exceed the GDPs of Portugal, Greece, New Zealand, and Hungary combined. As he’s already shown, Musk has the means to influence any political campaign in his adoptive country. But his immense wealth also allows him to astroturf political movements on virtually any global issue. Witness, if nothing else, his apparent support of Tommy Robinson in Britain, echoed by similar enthusiasms from Paris to Berlin.

A Hidden Tax: What Americans Are Really Paying for Illegal Immigration

This entire exercise is a thought experiment, an attempt to look at illegal immigration through the lens of simplicity. Regardless of whether the numbers are distorted, underinflated, or politically manipulated, the point remains: the cost to the U.S. taxpayer is enormous. It takes away from their children’s future, their retirement security, and their ability to pay monthly bills. This is not a partisan rant, it’s a segmented breakdown of a quiet crisis.

In a time when families are tightening budgets and questioning every dollar spent, one cost remains largely invisible, yet it drains billions from our economy and erodes the moral foundation of our republic. That cost is illegal immigration. Not the emotional narrative, not the political theater, but the real, measurable, taxpayer-funded burden that most Americans haven’t been told they’re carrying.

Stupid Sh&t Andrew Coyne Says

Canadian politics enters its era of Illiberals and Unconservatives

Canada has a Liberal Party and a Conservative Party. Broadly speaking, they are supposed to speak for liberalism and conservatism, respectively. Often in the past they have. Where the parties have diverged from their philosophical traditions, it has been more by omission than by commission: what they failed to do, rather than what they did.

What’s going on now is different. The policy direction the Liberals have taken since Mark Carney became leader is revealing itself to be not merely an overdue course correction from the blousy liberalism of his predecessor, but a decisive turn toward illiberalism: harsh on immigration, thuggish on criminal justice, cozy with dictatorships.

‘The mafia ain’t what it used to be’ – FBI’s gambling case shows mob’s evolution

When US officials unveiled two staggering illegal sports betting investigations on Thursday, they described the operations as something “reminiscent of a Hollywood movie”.

The schemes, which allegedly involved NBA stars, specialised contact lenses, marked cards, an x-ray table and $7m (£5.2m) in losses, led to the arrest of 31 people across 11 states, including members of the American-Sicilian mafia operation La Cosa Nostra.

Part of what makes the case feel so cinematic is the alleged involvement of the mob. Thanks to decades of film, television, and books dedicated to tales of mafia exploits, the mafia has developed a mythical place in American culture.

The Irish Won’t Let Ireland’s Immigration Problem Be Ignored

Ireland is protesting, again. Yesterday evening, more than 500 people in Saggart, County Dublin, gathered outside the Citywest IPAS (asylum) centre to demand an end to uncontrolled mass migration. The crowd waved Irish flags, brandished placards with anti-immigration slogans, and chanted “Get them out!” Some threw glass bottles, bricks, and even fireworks at police—at one point, a Garda van was set alight, and a handful of protestors charged on horseback at riot police. So far, the unrest has resulted in six arrests.

KEENEY: The hollow virtues of the progressive Left

I remain deeply committed to the principles I believed once defined the progressive Left — reason, empiricism, tolerance, and the defence of human dignity.

Yet the movement that once championed open inquiry, free speech, and honest debate has hardened into an unforgiving orthodoxy, driven less by ideas than by attitude. The Left I admired for its skepticism and intellectual courage has shifted into a culture of moral certitude and censoriousness. Like many, I find myself repeating the familiar refrain: I didn’t leave the Left; the Left left me. What happened?

Doug Ford gets under Trump’s skin — but to what end?

President Donald Trump’s vituperative reaction to Ontario’s anti-tariff advertisements — the ones borrowing a 1987 speech by then president Ronald Reagan expounding on the benefits of free trade — are unlikely to leave a mark on Premier Doug Ford, even though they could be blamed for Trump scuppering Canada-U.S. trade talks. (Ontario said Friday it would be pulling the ads soon after Ford spoke with Prime Minister Mark Carney.) Even Ford’s most spittle-flecked detractors, and there is no shortage of those, hate Trump vastly more.

Ontario will pull anti-tariff Reagan ads in U.S. after running during two World Series games

OTTAWA — Hours after U.S. President Donald Trump “terminated” trade talks with Canada over Ontario government anti-tariffs ads, Premier Doug Ford says he will pull the commercial from U.S. airwaves after it airs during two games of baseball’s World Series this weekend.

In a post on social media, Ford said he made the decision after speaking to Prime Minister Mark Carney.

That’s some ratio you got there Doug.

In preparing for the end of NATO, Canada falls behind Europe

For months, Canada’s European allies have been actively preparing for the end of NATO as we know it. They’re wondering if Ottawa is fully on board.

The defence ministers of Germany and Norway were in Ottawa this week to pitch a fleet of 12 submarines to Canada (they’re competing with South Korea) which would, by their own words, strengthen a transatlantic alliance that can continue to operate in the absence of the United States.

NATO without the US is the Maginot line.

‘I Got That White Girl’: The War Over Racism, America’s Ultimate Taboo

On the evening of August 22, 2025, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, Iryna Zarutska, boarded the light rail in Charlotte, North Carolina, on her way home from work.

She had fled a war to find safety. She believed America would be a haven where a young woman could rebuild her life, learn English, and contribute honestly. Minutes later, she lay dying on the floor of that car, stabbed multiple times, bleeding out. The attack, lightning-fast and captured on surveillance video, shocked many, not merely because it was yet another terrible homicide, but because it forced Americans to confront the failure of institutions meant to protect them — the innocent — as well as the cultural paralysis that prevents ordinary people from intervening, and the ideological narratives that try to erase both motive and responsibility.
