The Australian state of New South Wales is proposing to ban public displays of Islamic State group flags or extremist symbols after a mass shooting driven by antisemitism killed 15 people at Sydney’s Bondi Beach. Under draft laws to be debated by the state Parliament, publicly displaying the IS flag or symbols from other extremist groups will be offenses punishable by up to two years in prison and fines. The state’s premier, Chris Minns, also said chants of “globalize the intifada” will be banned and police would be given greater powers to demand protesters remove face coverings at demonstrations. “Hate speech or incitement of hatred has no place in our society,”

How very and deliberately blind these people are. The solution to the problem is not to ban symbols of hatred. Not when the real problem is Islam itself. Once the Judeo-Christian West understood who and what were its enemies. Centuries of war bought a Millenium of peace or at least the illusion of peace. We remember and honor such figures as Queen Isabella and El Cid who understood that Islam was anathema and needed to be driven back and forbidden. The Battle of Lepanto was fought in the Mediterranean Sea aided by prayers and appeals to Heaven to prevent the Turks from bringing their Islamic culture into Western Europe. And now the West poisoned by the Satanic concept of 'multiculturism' has welcomed them back. Christians in Nigeria are near extinction with the usual Islamic array of arson, rape, murder, and the kidnapping/enslavement of children. Muslims breed when we refuse to. Do we not realize that Islamic evil and mayhem are already reality in Europe and will soon be as well here in the US?

President Trump revealed that he does not like the Justice Department’s release of embarrassing photos of a half-naked Bill Clinton swimming with late sex predator Jeffrey Epstein’s madam, Ghislaine Maxwell. “No, I don’t like the pictures of Bill Clinton being shown,” he told reporters Monday. “I don’t like the pictures of other people being shown. I think it’s a terrible thing.” “But you probably have pictures being exposed of other people that innocently met Jeffrey Epstein years ago.” Former President Bill Clinton is seen in an image from the Epstein files dump with a blurred-out person nearby.

As we reported, the head honcho at CBS News, editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, pulled a 60 Minutes story about illegal aliens Sunday night, and the folks on the left are losing their minds. The piece was supposed to be about the treatment of illegal aliens in the CECOT prison in El Salvador. 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi complained in an email that leaked out to the public that it was more of a "political call" than an editorial decision to kill the story.

Immigration & Sexual Violence – Nothing to See Here! Britain is now the sort of country where you can get an instant answer to ‘What is the carbon footprint of a sausage roll?’. Yet if you ask, ‘Are we importing risk to women along with importing people?’ our nation state stares at its shoes and starts muttering about ‘complexity’. Let us begin with two official lines that any half-awake citizen can see are rising at the same time. Line one, sexual violence. The ONS crime bulletin for the year ending June 2025 reports 211,225 sexual offences recorded by the police in England and Wales are up 9% from the previous year.

America has long been a beacon of freedom to the oppressed, a shining symbol of liberty with – as our leftist friends tell us – an unlimited moral obligation to provide perpetual shelter to anyone who suffers at the hands of their government. Millions of people from around the world have ignored that irritating asylum requirement that you apply at the first country you reach and have come all the way over here to America in a quest to quench their yearning for being free (as well as their yearning to turn our country into the same kind of garbage hellhole they allegedly fled from, but that’s another column).

The son of a former ambassador from Iran to Australia posted a cryptic threat on X hours before the Islamic terrorist father-and-son team attacked Jewish-Australian celebrants at an iconic beach in New South Wales, Australia. In his tweet, Ahmad Ghadiri Abyaneh, son of former ambassador Mohammad-Hassan Ghadiri Abyaneh, attacked Jews for celebrating a “satanic ritual” by honoring Chanukah. He claimed that these Jewish holiday celebrations required an active defense, quoting Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, who called for “societal defense.” The most recent ambassador from Iran, Ahmad Sadeghi, was expelled from Australia because of the Iranian embassy’s sponsorship of at least two violent anti-Semitic incidents in Australia.

Imagine if your 15-year-old came to my house, and I gave them a book about edgy sex positions? What if I gave your 16-year-old a book with graphic illustrations of oral or anal sex? Would you be happy with that? Or would you be mighty suspicious of me? Many parents may not know it, but there is an ongoing fight over certain books and whether they should be given to minors without their parents’ knowledge or consent. That’s what the American Library Association wants. The ALA recently launched a nationwide campaign against so-called “book bans,” with ALA President Sam Helmick (they/them) saying it is about the “freedom to read.”

At least 16 files — among thousands available Friday — were taken down with no explanation from the government, leading to criticism from Democrats on Capitol Hill. The missing docs included images of nude female paintings — and according to the Dems, a picture of a desk that had numerous framed photos on it and some photos piled in an open drawer.

All of the ambassadors were appointed under President Joe Biden and are senior members of the State Department’s Foreign Service, which produces career diplomats to serve in Washington and abroad. These diplomats tend to stay in their roles for a few years and usually do not leave when there is a change in administration, as they are trained to carry out the president’s agenda, no matter which party occupies the White House.

The ruling by the judge, James E.

Western civilization arose in Greece in the 8th century BC, when some 1,500 city-states emerged from a murky, illiterate, 400-year Dark Age. That chaos followed the utter collapse of the palatial culture of Mycenaean Greece. But what re-emerged were constitutional government, rationalism, liberty, freedom of expression, self-critique and free markets — what we know now as the foundation of a unique Western civilization.[snip] From the Atlantic to the Persian Gulf and from the Rhine and Danube to the Sahara were a million square miles of safety, prosperity, progress and science — until the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD.
