The Crescent Over the Kremlin: Putin’s Surrender to Islam This marks a symbolic shift in Russia’s identity. The image of Islamic prayer dominating Moscow is not a multicultural footnote; it’s a warning. Under Vladimir Putin, the lines between religious appeasement and state submission to Islamic norms are beginning to blur. Image

After Raking In $800M In Taxpayer Dollars, Planned Parenthood Now Offers Trans Services  As if poisoning and dismembering preborn children weren’t evil enough, Planned Parenthood has also become one of the largest providers of cross-sex hormones, pushing powerful, life-altering drugs onto vulnerable teenagers with little to no medical oversight. According to insurance claim data, Planned Parenthood has prescribed gender transition hormones to at least 40,000 young adults in just one year, often after brief, superficial consultations.

The Persistent Presence of Absence...The public school exodus continues unabated   The problem is especially egregious in our big cities. In Los Angeles, more than 32% of students were chronically absent in the 2023-2024 school year.

   In Chicago, dwindling enrollment has left about 150 schools half-empty, while 47 operate at less than one-third capacity.

   Additionally, schools identified by their states as chronically low-performing were more than twice as likely to experience sizable enrollment declines as other public schools.

There’s A New Huge Twist in the Biden Autopen Scandal 

In a jaw-dropping revelation that should shake every American to their core, former Biden advisor Neera Tanden has admitted under oath that she — not Joe Biden — was in control of the president’s autopen for nearly two years.

Insurrection? City Official in LA County Calls for Street Gangs to Rise Up Against ICE   In an absolutely stunning and clueless display of hubris, the vice mayor of the L.A. County city of Cudahy — a government  "educator" — took to social media to call for well-armed gangs to defend "their streets" against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. No, really.

In the Biggest Threats to Our Country: NYC Is About to Elect a Muslim Socialist as Mayor   ...Mamdani has a long and troubling record of extremism. He openly supports groups with ties to Hamas and has been a vocal advocate for defunding the police. His anti-Israel stance is well documented, including his arrest at a pro-Palestinian rally. In a resurfaced video, Mamdani is seen lunging at former Border Czar Tom Homan in an unhinged outburst, demanding the release of a 30-year-old Syrian-born foreign national involved in organizing the antisemitic protests that intimidated Jewish students at Columbia University. As a mayoral candidate, Mamdani has firmly aligned himself with open borders, lawlessness, and taxpayer-funded handouts for illegal immigrants.

Feds Arrest Multiple Illegal Immigrants From Iran, Including Some With Terror Ties  The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on Tuesday that it had arrested 11 Iranian nationals over the weekend who were in the United States illegally. As you might suspect, they all have criminal pasts, and one even has admitted ties to Hezbollah. Another is a former sniper in the Iranian Army. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) also arrested an American citizen over the weekend, who was threatening to "to kill ICE law enforcement while harboring an illegal alien from Iran."

Far more Democrats are far more likely to "identify" as mentally ill than Republicans  Republicans and people to the right of center in general are more likely to have productive careers, stable traditional families, and so forth; they are more likely to have achieved something worthwhile in life, something aside from politics, and that matters a great deal. Happiness and mental stability come in large part from setting and achieving goals. But I think there's a countering cause-effect thread here, that people who are already happier and more mentally stable tend to be to the right of the political center, where the angry, the loony, the jealous tend to flock to the left. Is the cause-and-effect chain A-B, or B-A? Who knows? But the results are the same: The left is more likely to be unreasonable, unfriendly, nuts, and even, as we are seeing now in the streets of some of our cities, violent.

Here's a Breakdown of the Islamic Invasion of Great Britain

UK:This barbaric Parliament is committed to the culture of death 

MPs might not yet have grasped the degree to which they have shocked the country, where polls suggest that only one per cent of women share their view that abortion up to birth should be permitted (UK polling on abortion), or much of the civilised world, given that the upper time limit for abortion in most European countries is 12 weeks. Their cruelty is a disgrace and a cause for shame. It isn’t nice. It’s barbaric.
