Don’t Beat Your Swords into Ploughshares Just Yet

Nothing is more certain than that the jihad against Israel will continue.

Monday was a festive day, with the whole world seemingly celebrating the dawn of peace in the Middle East and hailing President Trump for bringing it about. The president himself, while speaking about the release of the hostages in his speech to the Knesset, promised a bright new world unencumbered by past hatred and animosities: “After two harrowing years in darkness and captivity, 20 courageous hostages are returning to the glorious embrace of their families. Twenty-eight more precious loved ones are coming home at last to rest in this sacred soil for all of time. And after so many years of unceasing war and endless danger, today the skies are calm, the guns are silent, the sirens are still, and the sun rises on a Holy Land that is finally at peace.”

The U.S. government is sitting on a trove of UFO records. It should release them

At a recent congressional hearing, the public fixated on a leaked video appearing to show a U.S. missile striking an unidentified object off Yemen in 2024. Whatever the object was, one pressing question is why it took a leak — rather than government disclosure — for the public to see it.

I spent more than 30 years inside the U.S. intelligence community, including serving as deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence and later as a consultant to the military. During those years, I witnessed a troubling pattern: Incidents of unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP (formerly known as unidentified flying objects), were detected by cutting-edge radar and other systems but routinely dismissed, buried or classified beyond justification. In 2017, I helped bring footage of three UAP encounters to the public. Those clips, recorded on advanced infrared cameras by Navy aviators, forced the Pentagon to admit that UAP are real.

Broke Governments Funnel Millions to Gaza While Neglecting Their Own

As if to make up for the fact they had little-to-nothing to do with Donald Trump’s Middle East peace deal, European leaders are now promising to squeeze tens—if not hundreds—of millions of euros out of their taxpayers’ pockets to support reconstruction in Gaza.

But just like those who say they will send ‘peacekeeping forces’ to Ukraine despite the dire state of their armies, these officials lack the economic means.

He forgot Canada!

BERNARDO: Laval organized crime hit highlights useless Liberal gun confiscation

On October 1, gunfire ripped through a Laval Starbucks.

Charalambos “Bobby the Greek” Theologou, gang leader, drug trafficker, repeat offender, was executed in front of undercover police officers.

“A team of at least five cars, including an operations supervisor, was deployed on the ground to monitor Theologou’s movements. Around ten police officers were therefore observing the gang leader.”

Ford says there’s ‘no damn way’ tariffs on Chinese EVs should be scrapped

Premier Doug Ford insists there isn’t a major split in ‘Team Canada’ approach, as prairie provinces urge the federal government to drop electric vehicle tariffs, which are in place predominantly to shield Ontario jobs.

A letter from Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew to Prime Minister Mark Carney last week urged him to drop 100 per cent tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles, after China’s ambassador suggested his country would end its crippling canola tariffs in response.

He Shot the Man Who Raped His Teenage Daughter – Now He’s Facing a Murder Charge

Aaron and Heather Spencer’s nightmare began in the Spring of 2024 in Lonoke County, Arkansas, when they learned that a 67-year-old man had been sexually abusing their 13-year-old daughter.

At the time, the child had “spent more days than not helping care for her dying grandpa,” according to a Facebook post Heather wrote. The parents had decided to give her some free time. She was targeted by a man “old enough to be my father” who began grooming the daughter through text messages.

Doug Ford says he threatened Home Depot shoplifter with ‘a beating’

Premier Doug Ford said he personally stopped a shoplifter at a Home Depot in July and warned him he would “kick your ass all over the parking lot” if he tried to flee.

Speaking to more than 1,000 people at an Empire Club of Canada luncheon Tuesday, Ford startled his audience by recounting the incident when he went to buy plants to prepare his Muskoka cottage for a visit from Prime Minister Mark Carney.

“I escape from my (OPP security) detail at 8 a.m. … before they come — it ticks them off. I hop in my pickup and I want to go to Home Depot, it was on a Saturday and I wanted to get some plants … it was the weekend before the prime minister came,” the premier told broadcaster Ben Mulroney.

How often Canadian criminals get special treatment because of race or identity

Last week, a convicted killer in Manitoba was given a jail sentence of just seven years on the grounds that, as an Indigenous man, he wasn’t as guilty as a non-Indigenous offender might have been.

“The offender’s history of victimization, trauma, and cultural disenfranchisement is intricately linked to our country’s shameful legacy of colonialism and attempts at cultural genocide,” wrote provincial court Judge Geoffrey H. Bayly.

The Business of Borders: The Economy of Virtue

How Western governments turned migration management into a taxpayer-funded industry.

The lights outside a motorway hotel in Kent still flash Vacancy, though every room is taken. Inside, corridors built for weddings and weekenders now house asylum seekers. The Home Office pays about £145 per person per night (roughly $180), six times the cost of standard housing, costing taxpayers nearly £8 million ($10 million) each day. At its peak, more than 50,000 people were housed across 400 hotels nationwide. The National Audit Office calls the scheme “unsustainable”: contracts signed in 2019 for £4.5 billion (about $5.6 billion) will balloon to £15.3 billion ($19 billion). The three main contractors, Serco, Mears, and Clearsprings, booked roughly £383 million ($480 million) in profit between 2019 and 2024, while the Home Office recovered less than one per cent in penalties. Britain spent an estimated £3 billion ($3.8 billion) on asylum accommodation last year alone, triple its 2019 figure. What looks like charity has become one of the government’s costliest business models

The Young American Woman Who Fights For Our Enemies

“Glory to all the martyrs. Glory to the Axis of Resistance. May we witness victory in our lifetimes,” a young American woman told her Iranian hosts in a clip circulated in July. “Marg bar Âmrikâ. Marg bar Israel”—in English: “Death to America, Death to Israel.”

The woman’s name is Calla Walsh, and her journey to that stage in Tehran is a strange one. The child of professors, Walsh, now 21, took an interest in politics in high school. Her campaigns for prominent figures like Boston city councilor Julia Mejia and Senator Ed Markey once earned her praise in Boston magazine as part of the “Gen Z” takeover of Boston politics. Four years later, Walsh’s latest campaign is in Lebanon, where she effectively serves as a mouthpiece for the Axis of Resistance. She now considers the label “terrorist” a “badge of honor.” Walsh did not respond to requests for comment for this article.

Our peri-postliberal moment: What happens when liberalism is no longer enough?

“Conservatives used to respect precedent.”

That was the mocking response from Canada’s leading journalist of judicial supremacy, Andrew Coyne, to legal scholars who raised the alarm recently over the Liberal government’s proposal to limit what remains of parliament’s power by inviting the courts to invent new limits of legislatures’ use of the notwithstanding clause. Apparently, the traditional scope of parliamentary sovereignty is one precedent that Coyne is willing to abjure.

GM Faces $1.6 Billion Charge on EV Pullback

General Motors said it is reducing its electric-vehicle manufacturing capacity and booking a $1.6 billion charge on its EV business as demand sinks.

The company said that EV sales, already weaker than expected when GM set out years ago on an ambitious plan to eventually end sales of gas-powered cars, are expected to fall with the end of government-funded subsidies and regulatory mandates that fueled EV growth.

Communism = EV Mandates.
