The most extraordinary thing about the confrontation that wrongly sent Ian Cranston, an unassuming young man in glasses, to prison for a decade, is that there was very little argument over the facts because they’re amply documented and were caught on video. The prosecution admitted that Cranston was assaulted by Barry Washington Jr: a violent criminal who had been harassing his fiancée. The assault by Washington was severe enough that Cranston looks battered in his booking photo, suffered a brain injury, and had to be taken to the hospital for evaluation. Before Ian Cranston shot Washington in self-defense, the drunken violent criminal had not only attacked him, but also his fiancée, and had punched another of Cranston’s friends in the nose. The only reason a case that normally should never have even come to trial not only did, but led to an innocent man being locked up for ten years was due to the deadliest three letter acronym. BLM. The shooting happened in Oregon in 2021. And BLM r...

Sexual assaults are up 5% in Minnesota. Statistics from the Hennepin County prosecutor’s office, which includes Minneapolis and its Somali population, shows that the number of sexual assault cases is up 62% from 2018. Cedar-Riverside, the neighborhood commonly known as ‘Little Mogadishu’ for its Somali population, has some of the worst crime rates in Minneapolis. To what extent does the state’s Somali settler population contribute to its sexual assault crisis? While there are no firm numbers, I tracked some of the offenders with the most common Muslim name Mohamed (after the prophet of Islam, whom the Koran described as a serial sex offender, assaulting captured women and in the process legalizing the sexual assault of non-Muslim women under Sharia Islamic law) and what I found was not only a pattern of offenses, but of complicity by local authorities who have allowed Somali Muslim sex predators to reoffend. Take the recent case of Abdimahat Bille Mohamed, a Somali Muslim, who was arre...

Last month, Communist China launched its largest ever crackdown on Christians. The raids across Beijing, Shanghai and eight other cities mark the beginning of an escalation as the paranoid Xi regime sets out to suppress the growing number of Chinese Christians. While the Communist regime claims that the official number of Christians in China is under 50 million people, the actual estimated number of Christians now tops 100 million. Most Chinese Christians are staying away from the official government churches and going underground. The raids and the arrests of pastors and worshipers at ‘underground churches’ that are not officially registered with and do not submit to the regime’s Communist churches is the latest move by the Chinese Communist dictatorship to slow down and control the runaway growth in Christianity which has shot up from 1 million to over 100 million since the Cold War. If this rate of growth continues, Chinese Christians could number 300 million by 2050. The internet, ...

Billboards are popping up outside Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune urging soldiers to disobey orders. “Marines: Not what you signed up for?” asks one. “Did You Go Airborne Just To Pull Security for ICE?” asks another one. The website urges soldiers to use encryption and offers ‘counselling’ on ‘disobeying immoral orders’. The organizations offering ‘counselling’ to soldiers include the National Lawyers Guild: a Communist organization which also defends Antifa. The billboards are promoting a system that, in its own words, is “built to connect active duty, national guard, and reserve members of the military with key resources on responding to unlawful orders”. What that means is members of the military will be potentially discussing their orders with members of radical leftist groups sympathetic to America’s enemies. This is not only sedition; it’s a national security threat. ‘Win Without War’, the group behind the ads, had been created as a front group full of young photogenic diverse figur...

The race is on. Not just the race for California governor, but the race to be the first (or perhaps last) gubernatorial candidate to be raided by the FBI, arrested and sent to jail. California is the most corrupt state in the country. 576 California officials were convicted of federal crimes in just the last decade. Its future governor could be the 577th criminal. The current front runner is Attorney General Rob Bonta, Gov. Newsom’s handpicked successor, whose political prospects hit a slight bump in the road when he was forced to disclose spending $468,000 in campaign funds on lawyers due to, what he claims is, being a witness in a federal bribery investigation. That’s a lot of money for a mere “witness” to a bribery investigation (and how exactly does a state attorney general become a ‘witness’ to a bribery investigation without making any arrests), but Bonta explained that “the attorneys that I have had been working around the clock, to be responsive, to be efficient, to be compre...

Zohran Mamdani ran for office promising New Yorkers free everything. And then he asked them to give him $4 million to fund his transition team. In a fundraising video, Mamdani claimed that he only had $1 million to keep paying his “incredible team” for the next 50 days. He also had to “vet the 50,000 resumes we’ve received” for that incredible team. Now we know where those millions for Mamdani’s “incredible team” are actually going. Mamdani has brought on 400 people to his transition team across 17 committees including a committee on community organizing, on worker justice, and on immigrant justice. Despite the claims that the Muslim socialist needed millions of dollars to go through tens of thousands of resumes, the ‘team’ is mostly drawn from his political allies in the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Islamists and other people who were already involved in his campaign. The Mamdani transition team has a disproportionate number of Arabs and Muslims on it. For example, the Co...

The latest brutal act of Afghan refugee terrorism claimed the lives of two brave members of the National Guard in D.C.. Since their arrival in the United States, Afghan ‘refugees’ have been involved in violent attacks, in assorted crimes, and in sexual assaults on women and girls. The attack by Rahmanullah Lakanwal took place a mere week after another Afghan, Abdullah Haji Zada, was sentenced to 15 years in prison in the Election Day plot. Abdullah and Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi , his Afghan brother-in-law, a former ‘guard’ at an American facility in Afghanistan, had plotted a mass shooting attack directed at “large groups of people” on Election Day. A video showed Tawhedi reading to Zada and his daughter “a text that describes the rewards a martyr receives in the afterlife.” Politicians and the media have claimed that Afghans guards and soldiers like Rahmanullah and Nasir were ‘heroes’ and ‘allies’ who protected our soldiers. In reality, they were insider threats. The claims that they can’t ...
