The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Amongst the men of Bani Israel there was a man who had murdered ninety-nine persons. Then he set out asking (whether his repentance could be accepted or not). He came upon a monk and asked him if his repentance could be accepted. The monk replied in the negative and so the man killed him. He kept on asking till a man advised to go to such and such village. (So he left for it) but death overtook him on the way. While dying, he turned his chest towards that village (where he had hoped his repentance...

Since the US announced new tariffs on China, tensions haven’t eased at all. And now, something even more serious is happening. Chinese students in the US are facing a sudden crisis. There are reports that the US might cancel a large number of student visas, and nearly 40,000 Chinese people who are staying in the US illegally could be deported.

Liberals think they’re more intelligent than conservatives because they are. Liberalism can be defined as the willingness to contribute large amounts of private resources for the welfare of genetically unrelated others. Research shows that more intelligent children in the US and UK are more likely to grow up to be liberals than less intelligent children. Studies show the effect of childhood intelligence on adult political ideology is twice as large as the effect of either sex or race.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s, D-Md., sudden trip to El Salvador to try to free deportee Kilmar Abrego Garcia is getting the attention of critics who believe the Maryland Democrat may have violated a 1799 law prohibiting unauthorized diplomacy. The Logan Act – named for former Pennsylvania Sen. George Logan – stipulates a fine and/or imprisonment for Americans corresponding with foreign officials "with intent to influence the[ir] measures … in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States." Logan met with French diplomat Charles de Talleyrand after Paris rebuffed President...

Controversial MMA fighter Conor McGregor has warned that Irish politicians will 'tarnish' his unlikely bid to become Ireland's next president. McGregor announced his bid to become president last month, though he has now admitted in an interview with conservative American commentator Tucker Carlson that his plan to run for office is unlikely to get off the ground. The UFC champion said there are 'stipulations' for running for presidential office, such as needed to be backed by four county councils or receiving 20 nominations from members of the Oireachtas, Ireland's parliament. 'So you can't just run for president?' the former Fox...

As Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., privately jets across the nation for her "Fighting Oligarchy" tour, residents in her Queens constituency have been calling on the FBI and the DEA to help them crack down on the illegal sex workers and drug dealers that they say have turned their neighborhood into a festering "gangland." Last week, local leaders, including a former Democrat state senator, wrote to FBI Director Kash Patel urging him to unleash agents to quell the raging problem along Roosevelt Avenue – a 2-mile commercial strip which has been likened to both a Third World Country and a Red...

Court documents revealed that on November 5, 2023, Santos-Recarte and other MS-13 associates kidnapped a former federal witness at gunpoint from a laundromat parking lot in Nashville.

The Brooklyn woman accused of leaving a brick scrawled with a swastika and the word “Nazi” on a parked Tesla is a super-woke family therapist who was involved in criminal justice diversion programs — and blamed Elon Musk for her heinous actions as she was taken into custody. Natasha Cohen was released on her own recognizance following her arraignment on hate-crime charges Saturday night, according to prosecutors. Cohen,46, has a private practice, working with children, adolescents and their families for more than two decades. *** Several of Cohen’s social media posts are critical of President Trump.

The drummer of Canadian indie rock band The New Pornographers has been charged with possession of child pornography, according to police in the U.S. On Thursday, the sheriff's office of Riverside County, California, said evidence has implicated Joe Seiders, 44, in two incidents. Police said, on April 7, an 11-year-old boy reported that a man attempted to record him on his cellphone while in a restroom of a Chick-Fil-A...

A whistleblower has alleged that DOGE systems linked to Elon Musk’s Starlink network were used by Russian IP addresses to access US government databases, raising fresh concerns over national security and infrastructure exposure.

According to the latest survey of fund managers by Bank of America, 49% say that gold is the most crowded trade. This marks the first time in 2 years that the Magnificent 7 tech stocks did not top the “overcrowded” survey. However, there’s a problem here. The fund managers responding to this survey clearly don’t know much about the gold market. My guess is they have not positioned their clients for the rise in gold, and are lashing out against bullion’s rise. Gold is by no means a crowded trade, as we will show today. Central banks are driving this...

As the proud owner of three incredible (crazy) dogs, nothing sends me into a tailspin quite like the recent accusation that dogs are “environmental villains.” According to a report from Mother Jones earlier this week, citing the Guardian, our beloved pets are allegedly wreaking havoc on wildlife, polluting waterways, and even contributing to carbon emissions. This claim is so outlandish it’s almost comical. As an unabashed dog lover, I can’t help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. Let’s get one thing straight: dogs are not causing the end of the world. In fact, they’re one of the few...

During the Chris Plante Radio Show yesterday (Friday, April 18, 2024), out of WMAL in Washington, DC, Chris had on a caller, Sgt. George (since retired), who founded the Prince George's County Police (MD) Gang Unit in the 1980s. He discussed the history, slogans, chronology and idiosyncrasies of MS-13 (La Mara Salvatrucha), one of the most violent gangs in the Western Hemisphere. He also gave an account of what Kilmar Abrego Garcia would have gone through via surveillance, detention/arrest and informant information. It was a brilliant call.

Reports of a “quiet revival” within the Catholic Church in Britain have been drawing widespread attention over the past week as parishes up and down the country witness ahead of the Easter celebrations a steady growth in interest and attendance, especially among the young. At the vigil of the Lord’s Resurrection this Saturday, the London dioceses of Southwark and Westminster will be receiving higher numbers than usual into the Church, with Southwark receiving 450 new candidates and catechumens — a decade high — and Westminster recording 500 new faithful, up by 25% from the previous year. ...About half of those...

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) denied drinking margaritas during his visit with an accused MS-13 gang member and illegal alien who was deported to El Salvador. During a press conference, Van Hollen spoke about his visit to El Salvador and his meeting with Abrego Garcia — who Democrats and the news media have described as a “Maryland father with protected status.” Van Hollen claimed that “Margarita-Gate” shows the “lengths” that El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele would go “to deceive people about what’s going on.”

It's Easter at SteynOnline. This column has become something of a tradition here at this time of year: my thoughts on Mel Gibson's big blockbuster from twenty-one Easters ago. ... ... back in 2004 it was impressive not just cinematically but as an interesting business model for bypassing Hollywood: The headline on the Washington Post review summed it up: "'Passion' Is A Gory Take On A Gentle Teacher's Violent End". Somebody's confusing their Gospel with Godspell. A few days before the "violent end", the gentle teacher had been hurling tables around in the temple. And, even if you overlook the...

China, once a communist backwater, has emerged as the world’s factory floor, producing everything from iPhones to plastic brushes. It’s a pragmatic choice, not a philosophical one. A CEO doesn’t cite Rand when moving a factory to Shenzhen; he cites shareholder value. Tariffs, intended to lure these companies back, instead add insult to injury, failing to address the root causes of their departure.

For Canadian voters, blink and you could practically miss this campaign. Not only is it lightning fast at just five weeks long, but the ho-hum pace of the race means that the tone and tenor haven’t changed much since the election was called in late March. That doesn’t mean Canadians have tuned out, quite the opposite: early ratings indicate they watched with interest as national leaders – including Prime Minister Mark Carney and his key rival Pierre Poilievre – debated in both French and English the last couple of evenings in Montreal. Two men not on stage were nonetheless top...
