Barbara Kay: Trump willed peace plan into being. Give the man his victory lap

President Donald Trump set himself a grueling pace last weekend to ensure his fragile peace plan’s opening performance went off without a hitch. His mini-tour began with a twelve-hour flight to Israel, where he met with the hostage families and delivered a major address to the Knesset. This was followed by an air hop to another major address at a world leaders’ meeting in Sharm El-Sheikh. Factor in the usual schmoozing and glad-handing between formalities; it had to be a tiring day. Yet Trump looked as peppy at the end of his Middle East excursion as at the beginning.

The Birmingham jihad

The ban on away-fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv football club coming to Birmingham next month to watch their team play Aston Villa has nothing to do with football. It’s about the UK government and police surrendering the safety of Britain’s Jewish community to a mob that believes it now has Israel and the Jews inexorably in its sights.

It also demonstrates something to which I have been drawing attention for years — and was indeed the first person to do so — that the British state is losing a battle against Islamic domination that it has been refusing even to acknowledge it is facing and that it must fight.

Maccabi fans are being excluded from the match in response to a petition by the independent MPs Ayoub Khan and the disgraced former Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn

As the trade war grinds on, Team Canada is getting restless

Five days before the new president was inaugurated, Justin Trudeau gathered the premiers in Ottawa to discuss the coming crisis.

They emerged, Trudeau said, with a “shared sense of purpose, a shared sense of understanding and a commitment to stand together on a united path forward.” Seated to Trudeau’s right, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said it was “truly a Team Canada approach we’re taking.”

The assembled first ministers didn’t agree on everything. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith was notably unwilling to consider a surcharge on oil exports to the United States. But Ford offered a thoughtful — perhaps even inspiring — take on the display of some broader political unity.

The many controversies and crimes of Jessica/Jonathan Yaniv Canada’s most respected authority on transgenderism

In the late 2010s, few names stirred as much controversy in Canada’s media landscape as Jessica Yaniv, who later adopted the legal name Jessica Simpson.

Known first for his human-rights complaints and later for a series of criminal cases, Simpson became a polarizing figure whose clashes with institutions, journalists, and online critics played out in public view.

Jail time for criticizing Islam

“Palestine” may not be a state, but, Islam is already an “empire” from Milan to Barcelona, and would like to open the prisons of Allah to priests as well.

The conviction of a Spanish priest for “hate speech” has ignited a national conversation about the boundaries of religious expression and freedom of conscience in Europe. Custodio Ballester, a Barcelona parish priest known for his outspoken views, was found guilty last week of making “Islamophobic” remarks in an article he wrote more than seven years ago.

Ballester wrote an article titled “The Impossible Dialogue with Islam,” where he wrote that “radical Islam wants to destroy Christian civilization and raze the West to the ground.”

German far right setting agenda as opponents amplify its ideas, study finds

Mainstream parties are increasingly allowing the far right to set the agenda, researchers in Germany have found, describing it as a shortcoming that had unwittingly helped the far right by legitimising their ideas and disseminating them more widely.

The findings, published in the European Journal of Political Research, were based on an automated text analysis of 520,408 articles from six German newspapers over the span of more than two decades.

The Berlin-based researchers found that as the far right moved from fringe issues in the late 1990s to topics such as integration and migration, mainstream parties had increasingly reshaped their communications to respond, boosting the spread of these ideas and signalling to voters that these ideas and stances were legitimate.

Someone inform the Guardian the AfD is the mainstream.

KLEIN: Carney takes action on crime — or is it just politics?

Prime Minister Mark Carney deserves some credit. He said he would bring forward amendments to fix the catch-and-release system the Liberals created under Justin Trudeau, and now he has. That’s a step in the right direction. But before Canadians start celebrating, we need to take a closer look at the fine print. The devil, as always, is in the details.

Germany Revoked a Terror Supporter’s Citizenship. Why Can’t America?

There’s a difference between dissent and betrayal. Between protest and open allegiance to a group like Hamas.

There’s something quietly revolutionary about paperwork. It rarely makes headlines or history books. But every so often, a bureaucratic act reveals a moral frontier.

That’s what happened last week in Berlin, when the German government revoked the citizenship of a man named Abdallah A., a naturalized Palestinian-German who used his new German identity to glorify Hamas’s October 7 atrocities , the deadliest mass killing of Jews since the Holocaust. His Instagram stories praised the attacks as heroic, sanctified the gunmen as martyrs, and circulated celebratory footage of the carnage. The message was clear: if you celebrate the slaughter of civilians in the name of jihad, you don’t get to carry our passport.

Donald Trump is a threat to democracy, warns former prime minister Jean Chrétien

Former prime minister Jean Chrétien is warning that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy because the U.S. president “does not care much about the rule of law,” and that “could cause a lot of problems south of the border.”

“Western society is built on the rule of law,” Chrétien said in an interview with CBC’s The House. “When there is no more rule of law, it’s blackmail on a daily basis, and it’s not working.”

Rule of Law? Adscam cranked up during Chretien’s tenure. And ask him about his real estate deals in Shawinigan.

Stellantis announcement only looks like bad news

This week’s announcement by automaker Stellantis that it’s moving Jeep Compass production from its Brampton, Ont., plant, to Illinois, highlights the folly of Ottawa’s policy of competing with Washington. But it also provides Canada an opportunity to reduce taxpayers’ exposure to the sagging electric vehicle battery market.

This could be a very lucky break for tax payers.

MSNBC Compares ‘No Kings’ Critics To Nazis

Saturday was a day that ended in Y, which meant it was time for MSNBC host Ali Velshi and philosophy professor, media hero, and professional crazy person Jason Stanley to compare Republicans to Nazis. This time, the GOP’s offense was calling far-left No Kings rally attendees Marxists.
