25 years after 9/11, the Saudi questions won’t go away

wenty-five years after the Sept. 11 attacks, the families of the victims are still fighting to learn whether Saudi government agents helped the men who murdered nearly 3,000 Americans.

On Oct. 7, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan is scheduled to hear Saudi Arabia’s appeal of a ruling that allowed the families’ lawsuit against the kingdom to proceed. According to the New York Post, attorneys representing nearly 10,000 victims and relatives believe two videos involving Saudi national Omar al-Bayoumi provide critical evidence of a Saudi role in the attacks.

Racist Muslim Journalist Was Just Imitating Muhammad

Racist Muslim Journalist Was Just Imitating Muhammad

Rula Jubreal, the far-left, venomously anti-Israel “journalist” and former MSNBC commentator, kicked up a controversy when she referred to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-Socialism) as an “AIPAC monkey” and an “errand boy” for not breaking with the decaying Democrat Party establishment over its support for Israel, even though that support is weakening by the day.

Trump’s trade war with Canada is becoming a prominent issue for American voters

Trump’s trade war with Canada is becoming a prominent issue for American voters

WASHINGTON — As the United States braces for pivotal midterm elections this November, there’s a new and unexpected issue on voters’ minds in many states: President Donald Trump’s escalating trade war with Canada.

“Canada is our friend, our closest ally and our biggest trading partner,” Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins told Politico in an interview published last week.

“This is not China that we are talking about. This is not an adversarial country. And … our economies are so linked, if you try to hurt one you end up hurting Maine.”


Oh but it is China you’re talking about.

What we really saw at the Portsmouth migrant boat protest

What we really saw at the Portsmouth migrant boat protest

What happened in Portsmouth last night was extraordinary. Citizens waded into the bitter sea to try to prevent the arrival of foreign men who were all but ferried in by the authorities. Ordinary people stepped up as reluctant, unpaid border guards while actual border guards rolled out the red carpet for a hundred blokes from heaven knows where. Everyday Brits stood vigil over our shores while the state threw those shores open to all-comers.

How do we even define this? What do we call it? The media has reached for that small, familiar word “protest”, as if this were a mere outburst of public anger over government policy. It was so much more than that. This was ordinary men and women stepping into the breach left by the state’s desertion of our borders. It was working-class self-organisation in defence of our national sovereignty. It is unprecedented.

For residents of York, Pa., day-to-day concerns overshadow Trump’s trade war

For residents of York, Pa., day-to-day concerns overshadow Trump’s trade war

On a Monday night in York, Pa., Michael Helfrich was among the regulars gathered inside First Capital Dispensing Co., a smoky bar where the two-man band Snack Club played Dolly Parton covers.

Mr. Helfrich took a drag from his cigarette and moved his foot to the beat. Formerly York’s mayor, he left office in January and has since taken a hiatus from all things political. “I’m completely out of it,” he said. “I’ve given over 100 per cent for a long time, so this was my time to step away. … I’m exhausted, you know? I fought and fought and fought since I was a teenager.”

How the AfD made history by winning in Saxony-Anhalt

How the AfD made history by winning in Saxony-Anhalt

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) is on the verge of leading a state government for the first time in history. According to the preliminary results announced on Monday morning, the AfD achieved 43.8 per cent in the state election of Saxony-Anhalt, more than doubling their voter share compared to the previous election in the state in 2021.

Meanwhile, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the party of chancellor Friedrich Merz, lost 20 per cent and fell to 17.2. The election result from Sunday is not only damaging to the CDU, but to all historically established parties in Germany. They might not be able to prevent the AfD from governing for the first time.

Ben Woodfinden: ‘Blame Canada’ conservatives are no better than woke statue topplers

Ben Woodfinden: ‘Blame Canada’ conservatives are no better than woke statue topplers

As most Canadians are aware, Donald Trump signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America,” the latest in his meme obsessed attempts to wage psychological war on Canadians. The move elicited a range of reactions across Canada, from defiance to bewilderment to laughter at the move.


There’s been a few folks attempting to silence conservative dissent behind a mask of patriotism.

Some like Kenney played a huge role in our current demise.

I get the feeling this is a sign of a pampered class reluctantly realizing that a passing of the torch is occurring whether they like it or not.

Populism scares them as it threatens their cozy sinecures.

The mushy conservatism of the Uniparty is not what we need.

David Ellison Sees the Writing on the Wall for Hollywood

David Ellison Sees the Writing on the Wall for Hollywood

A Pompeii resident looking out his window at Mount Vesuvius on August 24, A.D. 79 would have noticed something was amiss from the black smoke emanating out the top. He might have fled the city before it got destroyed, salvaging what he could. Movie mogul David Ellison has been observing the virtual darkness menacing Hollywood, and is taking steps to rebuild elsewhere.

Entertainment industry luminaries are going berserk over the looming Ellison merger of Paramount and Warner Bros studios. As usual with them, for all the wrong reasons. They warn about the resultant reduced production, fewer jobs, less competition (four major studios instead of five), and that Ellison may move the entire conglomerate out of Los Angeles. Which some astute insiders see as a good thing, given what the recent studio regimes and political leaders have done to the physical location and its workers.


It wasn’t that long ago when Hollywood’s decline would have been considered a national tragedy.
