A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a three-year-old boy was left with critical injuries after ending up in a zoo's crocodile enclosure. Cambridgeshire Police said it was called to Johnsons of Old Hurst, near Huntingdon, at 13:24 BST. Andy Johnson, who runs the zoo, told the BBC his wife, Tracey, jumped into the enclosure to try to help the boy. A 30-year-old man from Norfolk has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and officers added they do not believe the man and child were known to each other. The force said it was investigating...

Tuesday, British Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe, the leader of the Restore Britain party (sorry to say, at this point I think it is more accurate to look at Nigel Farage and his Reform Party as controlled opposition rather than a real choice), released a report that probably ensures that British politics won't be quite the same. His 219-page "The Rape Gang Inquiry Report" unmasks the concerted effort by British officials to cover up the systematic rape of British girls in their early teens, if that, intimidate the girls into refusing to press charges, and protect the feral Pakistani gangs...

Rising support for anti-immigration parties across Europe is forcing Brussels to rethink policies it once championed. Ursula von der Leyen welcomed new EU measures to speed up deportations this week, presenting them as proof that Brussels is finally getting tougher on illegal immigration. Yet the measures are intended to deal with a problem created in large part by immigration policies that her own European People’s Party (EPP) spent years supporting. On Wednesday, the European Parliament approved legislation allowing member states to expand detention powers, accelerate deportations and establish so-called “return hubs” in non-EU countries for migrants ordered to leave the...

Local businessman Mike Shehadi has purchased a 37-acre property on Ann Arbor Trail and Telegraph in Dearborn Heights to establish a non-profit Islamic cemetery, aiming to provide relief to families during times of grief.

The London Borough of Harrow wants you to know it's aware of a video that's gone viral on social media of two Muslim civil enforcement officers turning off their body cameras and threatening to rip a Brit's teeth out and more. Fortunately, the man was wearing Meta glasses with a built-in camera and caught the whole thing on video.

After resisting the military invasions of the Caliphate for centuries, Europe, led by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, decided to open its borders wide to migrants with entrenched supremacist beliefs. On May 19, 2026, the European Parliament inducted Angela Merkel into the inaugural European Order of Merit as a “Distinguished Member.” In this capacity, she holds a status comparable to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and former Polish President Lech Wałęsa. The award purportedly recognizes contributions to European integration and the defense of shared values. In a ceremony marked by protests from the Patriots for Europe alliance, who decried the event as...

THE HAGUE, Netherlands -- Two children and an adult were killed Thursday in the rural southern Netherlands when a car struck a group of cyclists who were on a school camping trip, local emergency services said. Four more children were seriously injured in the incident. They were taken to hospitals in the Netherlands and nearby Belgium for treatment. The dead and injured were part of a group of 14 schoolchildren and two chaperones, the Zeeland Security Region organization said in a statement. Police are investigating the cause of the incident on a provincial road that runs between farmers' fields near...

British couple was kidnapped, murdered and fed to crocodiles while searching a nature reserve in South Africa for rare seeds, a court heard Tuesday. Horticulturist Rod Saunders, 74, and his wife, microbiologist Dr. Rachel Saunders, 63, were camping in the remote Ngoye Forest Reserve when they disappeared in February 2018, the Daily Mail reported. The couple was last heard from on Feb. 8, when they told an employee about their plans to camp in the reserve 30 miles north of Durban. Police now say that Sayefundeen Aslam Del Vecchio, his wife, Bibi Fatima Patel, and their tenant Mussa Ahmad Jackson...

From Michael Konrad at American Thinker When one thinks of mass murder, Hitler comes to mind. If not Hitler, then Tojo, Stalin, or Mao. Credit is given to the 20th-century totalitarians as the worst species of tyranny to have ever arisen. However, the alarming truth is that Islam has killed more than any of these, and may surpass all of them combined in numbers and cruelty. The enormity of the slaughters of the “religion of peace” are so far beyond comprehension that even honest historians overlook the scale. When one looks beyond our myopic focus, Islam is the greatest killing...

The number of “threat to kill” knife offences in London has risen to close to a record high, official figures reveal. There were 154 such attacks in April, up from 126 in March, 92 in February and 127 in January, according to Metropolitan Police data. The alarming new figure is the second highest on record, going back to 2015, and sparked a heated political row over law and order in London. While overall knife crime is down in London, the city has been rocked in recent weeks by a series of fatal and other serious stabbings. In what appears to...

In April 2025, amid active congressional investigations, federal FARA violation requests, a sitting faculty member who had publicly hoped Iran would bomb a US military base, Hamas symbols spray-painted on dorm walls, a student body that had just voted 68% to boycott Israel, and an ongoing war in which Iran was targeting American institutions — Georgetown University’s interim president flew to Doha and signed a ten-year contract renewal with Qatar Foundation. He then accepted a ceremony in which Georgetown’s highest honor, the President’s Medal, was given to Sheikha Moza bint Nasser — the Qatari royal who had publicly praised Hamas...

When you import the Third World, you import the Third World's problems. Right now, that's never been more apparent than in Belfast, Northern Ireland, where an immigrant variously described as Sudanese and Somalian brutally attacked a young Irish man. The UK's Prime Minister, Kier Starmer, is outraged. The post reads: KIER STARMER: Belfast stabbing was "sickening." Irish officials and law enforcement have urged the public not to circulate footage of the African migrant, citing concerns of unrest and "misinformation." PM Keir Starmer called the attack “horrific” and “sickening,” saying he had “absolutely no tolerance” for violence like this. The footage...

There are books you read once and never fully put down. Being There by Jerzy Kosinski is one of mine. It belongs to that rare category of literature I think of as Kafkaesque: writing that seems absurd on the surface but cuts so precisely into the truth of how human beings actually function that it leaves you unsettled long after the last page. Kosinski understood something about us that most of us prefer not to examine — that we do not really listen to the people we elevate. We listen to ourselves, reflected back. It’s a story about a gardener...

“Qatar bought a soccer team, a giant energy conglomerate — and, it seems, a French President.” — Biff Spackle.In April 2024, a 73-page secret report landed on the desk of France’s President Macron. It said the Muslim Brotherhood (once aligned with Nazi Germany) had spent forty years (yes, four decades) secretly infiltrating French neighborhoods, schools, and city halls. And all of it was bankrolled by Qatar and Turkey. Emmanuel Macron read the report. He understood it. Then he locked it in a drawer. And full credit for this story goes to Behind the Narrative 📣. This is the story he...

Chatham House research fellow Farea al-Muslimi told the leftist outlet New York Times (NYT) that the Houthis could effectively blockade the Bab el-Mandeb with only a few terrorist strikes against vulnerable tankers and cargo ships. “They can just send a signal and only one attack has to happen – and that will send a shock across insurance companies,” he said. “I won’t be surprised now if you have a joint lockdown of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab,” he predicted. The Iran-backed Houthi insurgents of Yemen declared “a complete and total ban on Israeli maritime navigation” through the Red Sea on Monday....

A Target store in a Minneapolis suburb cordoned off a hallway with six changing rooms, seemingly to convert at least part of the space into a Muslim prayer area. The store is located in Apple Valley, Minnesota, which is just south of the Twin Cities. A concerned customer recently photographed the repurposed area and sent the photos to Alpha News. The pictures show retractable belts sectioning off both sides of the hallway, as well as a sign on one of the doors that said 'RAMADAN MUBARAK,' which is a traditional Arabic greeting during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

The open betrayal of Western Civilization and British tradition by Muslim Labour Backbenchers and Green Party representatives. The edifice of Western civilization, forged in the crucible of Judeo-Christian values—individual dignity under a transcendent moral law, ordered liberty, the sanctity of the vulnerable, and a commitment to truth over tribal expediency—is imperiled not by external conquest alone, but equally by internal subversion. In a world ravaged by unrest, Britain used to be a model of institutional stability, political pragmatism, and academic excellence. Now, however, it is being torn apart by ideologically inflamed barbarians. Thus, in contemporary Britain, a betrayal on a...

CAIR-LA crosses a very distinct line in its attack on UCLA's guidelines against anti-Semitism. Hussam Ayloush deserves credit for cultivating his reputation as a “moderate Muslim.” He has proven effective at winning over audiences -- including liberal Jews -- all the while aiming many of his relentless anti-Israel attacks at them. His worst detractors would concede he qualifies as the educated and polished face of CAIR-LA (Council on American-Islamic Relations). Ayloush showcased his rhetorical skill at the time he issued a “public statement” opposing UCLA’s new guidelines to Combat Antisemitism (released by Chancellor Julio Frenk and a 15-person action group)....

Who are the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR, and why should Americans care? Because both are Islamist front groups dedicated to Islam’s eradication of Christianity and Judaism, the genocide of the Jews and anyone opposing them, and the conquest of Western Civilization. The invaluable Discover the Networks notes the Muslim Brotherhood is determined “that Islam should be ‘given hegemony over all matters of life.” To accomplish that, the Brother’s credo states: “God is our objective, the Koran is our Constitution, the Prophet is our leader, struggle [jihad] is our way, and death for the sake of God is the highest of...
