Well, who could have seen this coming! That national "grooming gangs" inquiry Sir Keir Starmer got bounced into agreeing to? It's gonna have to wait until all the records of any such "grooming" have been wiped:S A M M Y Woodhouse@officialsammyuk·FollowThe last 13 years of my police files have disappeared. It’s also worth noting that investigations into Rotherham are still ongoing and they recently visited me for more information....Retention of records is the first and most basic step in any genuine adjudication of a matter. When Cockwombling Cary Katz and CRTV sued me, for example, the first thing I got...

Ukraine will not surrender territory, President Volodymyr Zelensky declared Monday, rejecting a central Russian demand that President Donald Trump had incorporated into his latest proposal to end the Kremlin’s war. “Under our laws, under international law — and under moral law — we have no right to give anything away,” Zelensky said, after meeting with top European leaders to discuss Trump’s plan Monday. “That is what we are fighting for.” The unequivocal declaration that Ukraine will not surrender land could mark the collapse of Trump’s plan, which critics condemned as fulfilling a wish list of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Zelensky,...

Mississippi Farm Bureau ^
A procurement forester was preparing to clear timber from part of some 300 acres of Mississippi land in August. But when he passed along the coordinates of the land parcel to the buyer – a standard traceability practice – the buyer suddenly asked a question he wasn’t expecting.The buyer was Georgia-Pacific, one of the world’s largest producers and distributors of paper, pulp, tissues, packaging and other forestry products, and the predominant buyer of Mississippi-grown timber. But the company had noted that the landowner had converted some land from timber production to another agricultural use in 2024. If the owner had...

Compiled book excerpt + Grok
The following is an excerpt from a book translated into English: Arbel, Tobi. The Story of Muhammad Abu Sarari (Heb.). Israel, Ra'anana: Docostory, 2000. link From the events of '36, I have a childhood memory. Then the gangs were active and terrorized the Jews. The one who organized them was Hassan Salama. The gang members wanted to cause harm to the Jews who bought agricultural goods from the Arabs. They would lie in wait in the wadis and on the roads for Arab merchants who smuggled vegetables and fruit to the Hatikva market. If they caught the smugglers, they would...

The Wall Street Journal ^ | Dec. 5, 2025 3:53 pm ET | Matthew Continetti
The numbers out of Minnesota are staggering: Three separate plots to bilk welfare programs. Fifty-nine federal convictions. More than $1 billion stolen from taxpayers. Of 86 people charged so far, all but eight are of Somali descent. The scandal has seized headlines and put Gov. Tim Walz, seeking a third term, on the defensive. It’s huge, brazen and entangled with the seamy politics of migration and assimilation. President Trump has weighed in with characteristic subtlety: “We don’t want them in our country,” he said of Somali-born Rep. Ilhan Omar and “her friends” during Tuesday’s cabinet meeting. “Let them go back...

Volodymyr Zelensky, in the next phase of talks to end the war in Ukraine, intends to draw a red line at the most contentious issue on the table: the Russian demand for Ukraine’s sovereign territory. As long as he remains the nation’s president, Zelensky will not agree to give up land in exchange for peace, Ukraine’s chief negotiator, Andriy Yermak, told me today in an exclusive interview. “Not a single sane person today would sign a document to give up territory,” said Yermak, who has served as Zelensky’s chief of staff, lead negotiator, and closest aide throughout the full-scale war...

Dallas Express ^ | 11/28/2025 | Dallas Express
A Dallas Muslim community leader will be deported after an immigration judge ruled he provided “material support” to the Holy Land Foundation, the Richardson-based charity whose leaders were convicted in a major terrorism financing case. Marwan Marouf, 54, a Jordanian national who has lived in the United States for roughly 30 years, has served as the public relations and fundraising director for the Muslim-American Society’s DFW chapter. He has been held in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody since September. The Dallas Express previously reported that ICE arrested Marouf in September and charged him with lacking a valid entry...

President Donald Trump suggested Thursday that the United States is preparing to take new action against alleged drug trafficking networks in Venezuela, telling service members during a Thanksgiving call that efforts for strikes on land will be starting “very soon.” “In recent weeks, you’ve been working to deter Venezuelan drug traffickers, of which there are many. Of course, there aren’t too many coming in by sea anymore,” Trump told service members in the call. “You probably noticed that people aren’t wanting to be delivering by sea, and we’ll be starting to stop them by land also,” the president continued. “The...
 

ACLU Demands Starting Thanksgiving With ‘Land Acknowledgements’

Front Page Magazine ^ | 11/27/2025 | Daniel Greenfield
The ACLU used to pretend it supported free speech. Then it abandoned free speech and joined the rat pack of radical leftist groups trying to out-radical each other. That means commemorating Thanksgiving by, according to the ACLU, beginning with a ‘land acknowledgement’. “Start by acknowledging the land beneath you. All land in the United States is Indigenous land” Like St. Matthew Island, Alaska. Which belongs to the ice. “Challenge the false and harmful Thanksgiving origin story.” Always the best way to start a family get-together. “Many foods prepared for Thanksgiving are Indigenous foods: squash, corn, beans, pumpkins, and more. When...
 

Ken Burns Is Off To A Hard-Left Start With His PBS American Revolution Series: As Usual, Greedy White Men Steal Native American Land

American Thinker ^ | 11/25/2025 | S. David Sultzer
Ken Burns and PBS want to teach us the history of the American Revolution. That’s objectively laudable, but from the opening seconds of his new six-part, 12-hour-long series on the Revolution, Burns is off to a truly ludicrous start. Why do I say that? Because instead of beginning with the events that led to the break with Britain in 1775, Burns (after an anodyne quote from Thomas Paine) opens with an Indian diatribe about land.That is not surprising. Lest there be any question as to what Burns intends for us to learn about the American Revolution, Burns stated in an...

The following quote is the opening salvo from an article titled “The Largest Funder of Al-Shabaab Is the Minnesota Taxpayer,” by Ryan Thorpe and Christopher Rufo, both with the Manhattan Institute: Minnesota is drowning in fraud. Billions in taxpayer dollars have been stolen during the administration of Governor Tim Walz alone. Democratic state officials, overseeing one of the most generous welfare regimes in the country, are asleep at the switch. And the media, duty-bound by progressive pieties, refuse to connect the dots. [snip] In many cases, the fraud has allegedly been perpetrated by members of Minnesota’s sizeable Somali community. Federal...

Russia would keep control of Donbas region in exchange for rental fee under US plan Ukraine could be forced to lease part of its territory to Russia under a US plan to end the war.The Trump administration deal would see Kyiv cede control of the eastern Donbas region, but maintain legal ownership. Russia would pay an undisclosed rental fee for de facto control of the region, officials familiar with the deal told The Telegraph.The 28-point plan was thrashed out between the US and Russia in a recent flurry of secretive talks, renewing fears that Ukraine is being frozen out of...

Far-right influencers have been hinting in recent weeks that they have finally found a venue — Miami — and a federal prosecutor — Jason A. Reding Quiñones — to pursue long-promised charges of a “grand conspiracy” against President Trump’s adversaries.Their theory of the case, still unsupported by the evidence: A cabal of Democrats and “deep-state” operatives, possibly led by former President Barack Obama, has worked to destroy Mr. Trump in a yearslong plot spanning the inquiry into his 2016 campaign to the charges he faced after leaving office.But that narrative, which has been promoted in general terms by Mr. Trump...

Florida Sun Sentinel ^ | November 4, 2025 | Kate Payne
The board of a South Florida college is appealing a judge’s ruling temporarily blocking officials from giving away a parcel of prime real estate in downtown Miami to be used for President Donald Trump’s future presidential library. Attorneys for the District Board of Trustees of Miami Dade College filed a notice of appeal in Florida’s 3rd District Court of Appeal on Tuesday, challenging a lower court’s injunction that bars the transfer of the property — at least for now. Last month, Circuit Judge Mavel Ruiz sided with a Miami activist who alleged that college officials violated Florida’s open government law...

A federal appeals court on Tuesday cleared the way for Florida to enforce a law restricting property purchases by foreign buyers from China The law in question, SB 265, was signed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and prohibits individuals “domiciled” in China who are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents from purchasing property in Florida. In a 2-1 decision, the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected claims that the law violated federal law or discriminated against Asians. “Today we won big at the US Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, defending our law preventing ownership of...

Furious passengers have blasted Canada's national airline and train company for displaying land acknowledgments. A land acknowledgement is an increasingly common practice that recognizes an area as the traditional homeland of indigenous peoples. One traveler who recently used both Air Canada and Via Rail, the country's taxpayer-funded train operator, shared images of the signage on social media. Air Canada's display, written in French, read: 'Air Canada recognizes the ancestral and traditional indigenous territories it overflies.' Written in English, the train's sign stated: 'Via Rail acknowledges the ancestral and traditional indigenous territories on which our trains operate.' The posts sparked a...

Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday defended the White House’s decision to strike Venezuelan boats, hinting that President Donald Trump may even “expand” military operations in the region. In an interview with CBS’ Margaret Brennan on “Face the Nation,” the South Carolina Republican said Trump is “doing the right thing.” “President Trump told me yesterday that he plans to brief members of Congress when he gets back from Asia about future potential military operations against Venezuela and Colombia,” Graham said. “So there will be a congressional briefing about a potential expanding from the sea to the land. I support that idea.

The First Peoples in the Americas probably came from East Asia. Image credit: APChanel/Shutterstock.com The first people to enter the Americas may have sailed from Japan around 20,000 years ago, according to a new analysis of prehistoric stone tools from 10 sites across the US. Until now, researchers had only uncovered a few tantalizing hints that humans had reached the American continent by this time, with ancient footprints in New Mexico representing the earliest evidence. However, with no widespread culture emerging in North America until the rise of the Clovis tradition some 13,000 years ago, scholars have remained divided on...

Senior members of President Donald Trump’s diplomatic team arrived in Israel on Monday as the United States seeks to hold together the fragile Gaza ceasefire and intensify efforts to implement phase two of the peace agreement. Special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, along with Vice President JD Vance, who is set to arrive in Israel on Tuesday. The move marks Washington’s efforts to bring momentum to Trump’s peace plan and move into the second phase of the landmark agreement brokered earlier this month, which will focus on fully disarming Hamas...
 

The Left’s ‘stolen-land’ rhetoric threatens private property

Left-wing “land acknowlegements” could be having real-world consequences for property owners in Canada. And the United States may be next.It began as a polite ritual. Before meetings or ceremonies, institutions began acknowledging that their buildings sit on land once inhabited by Indigenous peoples: “We recognize this is the unceded territory of the [tribe name].” The practice, with roots in Australia as far back as the 1970s, was picked up in Canada following the 2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission report and moved quickly from Canada to left-leaning universities, city councils and churches in the 2020s. Many saw it as a mere...
