Terrorism in Western nations rose sharply last year with a recorded 280% increase from 2024. That’s the conclusion of the Institute for Economics and Peace’s Global Terrorism Index report. According to the index, the driving cause was Islamic terrorism “including the New Orleans truck attack in the United States in January, and the Bondi Beach shooting in Australia in December” and “most of these deaths and attacks were caused by jihadist groups or affiliated individuals.” In the United States, deaths from terrorism attacks hit their highest level since 2019 with 28 killings. This includes not only various Islamic terrorist attacks, but the assassination of Charlie Kirk by a radical leftist angry at his opposition to transgender identity politics. America accounts for half the terrorism casualties in western nations, but these numbers pale compared to 5,582 people killed worldwide in 2,944 terrorist attacks. 70% of these worldwide terrorist attacks were carried out by four Muslim terr...

In 1997, Gwendolyn Westbrook was arrested after being accused of embezzling thousands of dollars from the San Francisco port parking lot collections that she had been hired to monitor. By 2022, she was running a homeless nonprofit that took in $36 million in grants while operating a tent city that took over a block and filled a neighborhood with violence and human waste.. Now she’s under arrest. Again. Westbrook, the CEO of the United Council of Human Services, is currently accused of misappropriating $1.2 million and a lawsuit claims that she told staffers about buying a Tesla for herself, handing out luxury cars to other family members, vacationing in Aruba and driving around for some unstated reason with a “a trunk full of high-priced jewelry”. “I guess it’s because I’m a black woman,” Westbrook had said of critics. “I think it’s racism. They don’t want a black woman running this organization.” Westbrook has been indicted by San Francisco DA Brooke Jenkins: also a black woman. But ...

“Faribault has become our city,” a Somali interviewed by the Minnesota Post bragged. Faribault, Minnesota, is a small city about an hour’s drive from Minneapolis. On paper it should have the smaller crime rate of the alphabetically similar Farmington which is nearly the same size and only a half hour away. Instead, Faribault has more than twice as much violent crime, aggravated assaults, burglaries and car thefts, 30% more rapes, and 8 times as many robberies. Farmington has no arsons, but Faribault has the most arsons of any city outside major strongholds like Minneapolis, St. Paul or Duluth. But Faribault has something Farmington doesn’t: diversity. Especially from its Somalis. The city of over 20,000 used to be much less diverse. In 1990, it was even 98% white. Or as the Minnesota Post described it, with a shudder, “an almost entirely homogeneous white community, not much different from many towns across Minnesota.” But Faribault was an hour away from Minneapolis at a time when it w...

The Mayor of Providence, Rhode Island, has called for the removal of a mural of Iryna Zarutska, a young Ukrainian refugee whose brutal murder was caught on video, because, according to Mayor Smiley, because of its “misguided, isolating intent”. Providence has a BLM street mural covering three blocks and a “Love is a Many Gendered Thing” mural, but Mayor Smiley urged supporting artists “whose work brings us closer together rather than divide us” and remembering Irina’s murder divides us. Unlike BLM and “Love is a Many Gendered Thing” which bring us together. In New York City, a mural of the murdered woman was vandalized after being up for less than two weeks. In Chicago, it was vandalized in less than a month. But not all murals and acts of iconoclasm are created equally or treated equally. Over in Milwaukee, a 74-year-old rabbi was sentenced for vandalizing a terrorist mural depicting the Star-of-David as a swastika. According to media reports, the Muslim ‘artist’ had to be removed f...

In 2003,   Limor Son Har-Melech   was 7 months pregnant and driving home with her husband, Shalom, an ambulance driver, when Islamic terrorists attacked them. The car rolled over, killing her husband and injuring Limor. Seriously injured, the 24-year-old mother survived. So did her newborn daughter. Limor, still carrying the scars of the attack, married again, had children and decided to run for public office in Israel to protect others from what she had suffered. Last year, MK Limor, a member of the Knesset, was  stunned to learn  that her husband’s killer was being freed as part of the disastrous deal trading 2,000 Islamic terrorists for hostages. “This morning I woke up to the news that the terrorist who murdered my husband was released in a deal – no one told us about it,” she said. So she sponsored a new bill, the ‘Death Penalty for Terrorists Bill’. The bill calls for the “death penalty” for anyone “who intentionally caused the death of a person in an act of te...

California Democrats have a problem with their leading candidates. One doesn’t live in the state but allegedly lived, in the euphemistic sense, with a Chinese spy. Another has the looks and personality of a distempered boar and can’t stop screaming at staffers, reporters and anyone late with her lunch. A third is a billionaire who convenes events at luxury hotels to explain how he’ll fight against the billionaires for the working class he sometimes reads about in the paper. And those are their most popular candidates. But since this is California, the real problem is that all of those candidates are all the wrong color. Their skin lacks melanin. Two of them can’t even tan. Their distant ancestors probably came here on the Mayflower or some other European sailing vessel. Basically they’re white. Much too white. There are other more ‘diverse’ candidates like a Latino former Los Angeles mayor, a Chinese State Controller, a Black Jewish school superintendent, and Biden’s former Latino Sec...

“I’m the Prime Minister of Spain. This Is Why the West Needs Migrants,” Pedro Sanchez headlined his New York Times op-ed. “The West needs people. Currently, few of its countries have a rising population growth rate. Unless they embrace migration, they will experience a sharp demographic decline.” Spain’s demographic decline is helped along by the nearly 1,000 euthanasia cases a year. Those who die are replaced with the growing flood of Muslim championed by Sanchez. The West needs people, but only certain kinds of people, and it euthanizes the wrong kind. Spain’s population is set to shrink by one more as Noelia Castillo Ramos, a 25-year-old girl in a wheelchair, has her life ended before it even really began under the authority of the state. Prime Minister Sanchez claimed that migrants “care for aging parents, work at small and large companies, harvest the food that’s on the table.” Migrants also raped Noelia. Her parents lost custody of her after they divorced when she was only thirt...

When Emir Balat, accused of taking part in throwing IEDs at a rally against the Islamization of New York City near the mayoral residence, was being led out by an FBI agent, he raised his right finger upwards in what media accounts incorrectly described as an “ISIS salute”. The New York Post called it “a universal salute for ISIS”. But there is no such thing as an ISIS salute. It’s the traditional Islamic salute used during prayers to their deity and, much like “Allahu Akbar” is used by Islamists proclaiming that they represent Allah and are combating infidels. ISIS beheaders held up one finger after beheading their non-Muslim victims, but so do most Muslims. The ISIS flag, a terrifying black and white chimera to most westerners, simply declares that Allah is the only deity and Mohammed is his messenger: the founding premise of Islam. The persistent myth of an ‘ISIS salute’ continues to crop up when media outlets try to distinguish between Islam and some imaginary ‘extreme’ version of i...
