The stabbing attacks in the UK are off the charts, often perpetrated by violent migrants who have been allowed into the country under the guise of “asylum.” To claim that these attacks are random and not the result of a group of foreigners who refuse to integrate is just more “smoke and mirrors” nonsense pushed by the left worldwide. They tell us, “Don’t believe your lying eyes; believe what we tell you.” The message is clear: be outraged by white right-wingers, not by foreign attackers, you bigots.The Informant:In Ipswich, UK, a 20-year-old man was seriously injured in a stabbing incident...

One reporter told CNN they didn't want to give 'credence' to bad faith claims that Biden was 'senile'Some members of the White House press corps who have regular exposure to President Biden are now admitting they were "turned off" from exposing his mental decline before last week's debate in part because of the attention it has got from "right-wing media."

There is a favorite Fleet Street story about the legendary Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie. While editing the paper, he discovered that his horoscope writer was recycling copy. He decided to dispense with her services in a letter that opened: “As you will no doubt have foreseen…”You do not have to hold claims to being a mystic to predict certain things. The results of this month’s European Union elections were easily predictable, as was the response from much of the British media. As I uncannily prophesied in last week’s column, the BBC’s Europe editor, Katya Adler, went with:…There is a favorite...

It seems like Canada's very liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been around forever. It seems longer when you have someone who is so insufferable. He's been in office since 2015, which I guess is a long time when you consider all the harm he's done to the country. If you think people hate Joe Biden, people in Canada may hate Trudeau even more:He has trailed in polls by double digits for nearly a year, and the outlook for the once popular prime minister is so grim that some old guard Liberals have been grumbling that maybe he should just...

Can the “far right” still really be called the “far right” if it becomes the mainstream? That’s a question for political scientists to ponder as Sunday’s European Union elections results came tumbling in. The right is winning in France, with Marine Le Pen’s National Rally will secure twice as many votes as President Macron’s Renaissance. Macron has already responded to the humiliation by calling for fresh national assembly elections to be held on June 30 and July 7. In Germany, the AfD, despite a number of scandals, took 16 percent of the vote, making them the second most popular party,...

The more self-actualized you become, the higher you are on self-righteousness, blaming other people’s problems on their failure to be as healthy as you.OK, this is going to sound a little hypocritical, as I have hard-recommended every activity and pursuit, every wellness wheeze and rejuvenation exercise the modern world has dreamed up. […] But there is a dark side to wellness, which I always, for shorthand, thought of as political: getting fit makes you more rightwing. The mechanism is incredibly simple: you embark on this voyage of self-improvement, and more or less immediately see results. You feel stronger and more...

An election candidate in Germany was stabbed in the head and stomach on Tuesday night after confronting a gang of men tearing down election posters, the second stabbing of a right winger in a single German city in four days. 62-year-old Alternative for Germany (AfD) council election candidate Heinrich Koch was stabbed in Mannheim on Tuesday. German newspaper Die Welt reports the right-wing campaigner was cut on the ear and stomach by the assailant and was taken to the hospital. The injuries are not life threatening but required stitches.

A new article published in Rolling Stone magazine Monday accused the United States Supreme Court of being controlled by “right-wing” dark money interests. “The Most Ridiculous, Right-Wing Supreme Court That Dark Money Could Buy,” reads the headline.The magazine’s official X account wrote, “The Supreme Court has been successfully captured by right-wing, dark money interests. The result: a court that’s in your body, working to elect Donald Trump, and in-your-face corrupt.”The author, Andrew Perez, claimed SCOTUS has reshaped “our laws and society according to their reactionary, far-right vision” over the past twenty years.Touching on the fact that the court currently has...

Two new polls show Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu surging politically in Israel, despite pressure by Democrats in the United States, and left-wing protests in Israel, to force new elections and a change in government Bloomberg News reported on a new survey by Israel’s Channel 12: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is starting to regain his popularity after struggling politically for more than a year, out-polling main rival Benny Gantz for the first time since the war against Hamas started in October. A Channel 12 survey conducted on Wednesday of 500 voters representing a cross-section of Israeli society asked “Who...

The reposts and expressions of shock from public figures followed quickly after a user on the social platform X who uses a pseudonym claimed that a government website had revealed “skyrocketing” rates of voters registering without a photo ID in three states this year — two of them crucial to the presidential contest. “Extremely concerning,” X owner Elon Musk replied twice to the post this past week. “Are migrants registering to vote using SSN?” Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, an ally of former President Donald Trump, asked on Instagram, using the acronym for Social Security number. Trump himself posted to...

In the wake of the riot on Capitol Hill on Jan. 6, 2021, a groundswell built in Washington to rein in the onslaught of lies that had fueled the assault on the peaceful transfer of power. Social media companies suspended Donald Trump, then the president, and many of his allies from the platforms they had used to spread misinformation about his defeat and whip up the attempt to overturn it. President Joe Biden’s administration, Democrats in Congress and even some Republicans sought to do more to hold the companies accountable. Academic researchers wrestled with how to strengthen efforts to monitor...

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) hit Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday for how he is running Israel amid its war with the militant group Hamas. Sanders has repeatedly called on the U.S. to halt its military aid to Israel, citing the humanitarian crisis that has been unfolding in Gaza for months. He reiterated his call for an end to funding Israel on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday.

Facts, by Tom MacDonald, is currently No. 1 on two Billboard charts; Rap Digital Song Sales and R&B/Hip Hop Digital Song Sales. Released on Jan. 26, Facts has blown past the genre’s usual stalwarts, pulling ahead of artists such as Megan Thee Stallion and Doja Cat... MacDonald has scored hit songs before, but he got to No. 1 with Facts thanks in large part to his collaborator on the song, popular conservative podcast host Ben Shapiro... Shapiro, a classically trained violinist, has often been a vocal critic of rap and hiphop music — routinely reserving segments of his podcast to...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” CNN Political Director David Chalian stated that “We normally think of” immigration as “just an issue for the right-wing echo chamber.” But now that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has brought “the migrant issue and crisis to cities, to blue states and cities, that has changed the calculus” on the issue. Chalian said, “Tom Suozzi was advertising with him on Fox News talking about his full defense of ICE. So, not every Democrat runs on the immigration issue the way Tom Suozzi did in this district. It worked for him there. There does...

Vladimir Putin once again appeared to be unable to control a twitchy leg during his lengthy interview with US right-wing journalist Tucker Carlson earlier this week. The Russian president spent half an hour of the sit-down chat on an almost uninterrupted ramble covering 1,200 years of Eastern European history. But some viewers were distracted by his apparent need to physically push down his knee to prevent his leg from moving around. It’s been an odd habit of Putin’s for a while – stretching back at least as far as September 2022, when the appendage started twitching during a speech in...

Left-wing protesters in Germany called for supporters of the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party to be killed during a rally against political extremism. Amid nationwide protests over the weekend, in which organisers claimed over a million people rallied against the right-wing AfD party, it was ironically the left which seemingly exposed itself as harbouring extremists. A report from the left-liberal Aachener Zeitung newspaper on Sunday hailed the local demonstration in the North Rhine-Westphalian city of Aachen against the AfD, which it claimed saw around 10,000 people attend.

Liberals are constantly saying that fascism is a right-wing belief system, because that's how the university education system allocated it. We both know that's bs, because Mussolini and Gentile were quite clear that they were creating a socialist political system that has all the markings of left-wing socialism. When somebody says that fascism is right-wing, they are not defining it as right-wing objectively, but subjectively. Relative to themselves because they are to the left of fascism, making them communists or that thin sliver that sits between communism and fascism. However, it doesn't matter. What I realized is that they are...

WATERTOWN, SD — As mainstream media reports circulated that maintaining physical fitness is a sign of far-right extremism, a spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Investigation disclosed that the agency already has a surveillance team closely monitoring what is believed to be a local fascist training facility. "This place just cranks out dangerous right-wing nutjobs," said one source within the FBI who requested to remain anonymous. "It may be located in a shopping mall, and the people coming in and out look like normal, law-abiding citizens…but with how physically fit they all appear to be, there is every indication that...

I just listened to a Jordan Peterson video, and while I think he is perhaps the intellectual heir to the retired Thomas Sowell (if you disagree with this, please do not too caustic in your rebutal comments), he stated something in the video that made me question the meaning of far right and far left.
