“With increasing Islamophobia – the day will come where we have to ask ALL Women to wear a head scarf to show solidarity with those who do so for religious reasons” Christians are persecuted, slaughtered, and abused all over the world in horrific ways, yet these globalists never suggest that everyone wear a cross in solidarity with them. But Islam, once again, gets treated like the one and only protected faith that must be accommodated and now apparently modeled on the runway by women.

A lot of us have been wondering if and when Trump would slap down Tucker Carlson. Tucker has been taking potshots—no, firing broadsides—at Trump's policies and the core beliefs of almost every conservative for most of his time as a podcaster. He has essentially called anybody who supports Israel demonic, while implicitly supporting the expansion of Sharia law into the West. He has backstabbed Trump, tried to destroy him and his base, and provided aid and comfort to our enemies. Hasn't Trump noticed? He has... Trump posted a link to Douglas Murray's piece, which absolutely eviscerated Tucker, within about half...

It’s an important question to ask because doing just that is on California's legislative agenda. Should California codify Islamic religious observances into state-recognized holidays in the United States? As a nation, the essence of who we are as a People is rooted in our Judeo-Christian values and principles, dating back to the Magna Carta. This shared moral vocabulary has shaped Western thinking since America’s founding. Why, then, would any State in the Union formally endorse or incorporate into our educational and other public institutions a religious doctrine with practices antithetical to the belief system? AB 2017, introduced by Progressive Democrats...

Meet the ‘Mohammeds’ running the Church’s migration agenda. The Catholic News Herald, “Connecting Catholics in North Carolina”, bragged that the refugee case coordinator for the Catholic Charities Diocese of Charlotte, had been recently honored. His name? Ashir Haji-Mohamed. The latter part of the name meant that he had made a pilgrimage to the Islamic holy city of Mecca. Haji-Mohamed, a former Somali refugee, had previously been in the news for helping resettle Syrian Muslims, as well as Jordanians and Turks, in North Carolina. After the Biden retreat, Catholic Charities of Charlotte had also worked to bring Afghans to North Carolina....

With the State Board of Education set to consider changes to Texas’ public school curriculum on social studies, Muslim activists are...planning to push for more inclusion of Islamic history and dogma.

Texas Congressman Keith Self has dropped a bombshell on the growing reality of Sharia-adherent communities taking root inside the United States. Far from some future hypothetical, these enclaves are here, now, and operating openly in his own district.Self laid it out plainly: “Sharia is alive, well, and operating in Plano, Texas. Right now, as I speak, there is an existing Sharia-adherent enclave run by the East Plano Islamic Center in my congressional district. It’s been functioning for 12 years right in our midst. This is not a hypothetical or future threat. It is here, now and operational.”He continued: “It is...

Officials said that Newsom was conscious and was able to inform them that she had been attacked by dogs. Harris, 54, has been charged with aggravated assault and manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life and was being held at the Marshall County Sheriff's Department. In an...

The United Nations chief condemned the U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iran on Saturday and called for an immediate return to negotiations “to pull the region, and our world, back from the brink.” Secretary-General António Guterres told an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council that everything must be done to prevent further escalation. “The alternative,” he warned, “is a potential wider conflict with grave consequences for civilians and regional stability.” Guterres said the U.S. and Israeli airstrikes violated international law, including the U.N. Charter. He also condemned Iran’s retaliatory attacks for violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan,...

The UN General Assembly on Wednesday designated the transatlantic African slave trade as "the gravest crime against humanity" despite opposition by the United States and some European countries. In a move advocates hailed as a step towards healing and possible reparations, the resolution was adopted to applause by a vote of 123 in favour, three against and 52 abstentions. The United States, Israel and Argentina opposed the measure while Britain and EU member states abstained. Ghana's President John Mahama, one of the African Union's most vocal supporters of slavery reparations, was at the United Nations headquarters in New York to...

The Tunisian government's declaration of its intent to deport all black immigrants has prompted controversy.

Joe Biden on Wednesday hosted most of Africa's leaders in Washington for the first time since 2014, reviving a summit begun by Barack Obama Biden said his country and Africa were united by America's 'original sin', and the 'stolen men and women and children brought to our shores in chains' Rattled by China's massive investment in Africa, Biden on Wednesday announced $55 billion to be spent on health, climate change and trade Paul Kagame, Rwanda's president, was asked before Biden's speech whether anything has come from the 2014 summit, and said they had achieved little Joe Biden on Wednesday apologized...

I don’t mean to bash Mr. Yerby, who opined that “North American slavery [was] indisputably the most abysmally cruel system of bondage in the whole of human history,” but his opinion is objectively disputable. See what you think. The following is from 2010. I was reminded of it when a guest in this post pointed out that Americans were not the first to export black Africans as slaves. I share it every now and then, usually when someone assumes that I know nothing about the 1400-year-long sacking of my father's home continent. But, with past slaving and slave-holding being all...

Although presented in the film as an underdog, the real-world version of the kingdom is notable for its vast contributions to the Atlantic slave trade, and its brutality toward its captives from its subjugated neighbours.Viola Davis’ latest action film, “The Woman King,” glorifies the Agojie, the female fighting force of the west African Kingdom of Dahomey in the 19th century. Although presented in the film as an underdog, the real-world version of the kingdom is notable for its vast contributions to the Atlantic slave trade, and its brutality toward its captives from its subjugated neighbors.

The left’s obsession with centering everything on race and sex has reached a new and despicable low with an upcoming movie called “The Woman King.”The “historical epic film” centers around the real African kingdom of Dahomey, which existed during the Scramble for Africa in the age of empires, around 1800 to 1904.Viola Davis plays General Nanisca, leader of an all-female band of warriors known as the Dahomey Amazons, as she struggles against European attempts to conquer the kingdom....The weirdest thing about this controversy surrounding the trailer is that the story of Dahomey is a genuinely interesting historical narrative....Maybe I’m all...

The Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF), a London-based non-governmental organization, this week published a report on the destructive, largely unregulated, and often illegal operations of China’s immense deep-water fishing fleet. An especially disturbing chapter of the report dealt with the harmful impact of Chinese fishing on West African nations, where entire coastal communities tremble on the verge of economic collapse thanks to China’s rapacious practices.The report, titled The Ever-Widening Net: Mapping the Scale, Nature, and Corporate Structures of Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated Fishing by the Chinese Distant-Water Fleet, accused China of creating a huge fleet to fish outside China’s own depleted...

Approximately 10.5 percent of North Korea‘s population including migrant workers and human trafficking victims are categorized as modern slaves according to data by the Walk Free Foundation. While this only amounts to roughly seven percent of the grand total of estimated modern slaves around the world, Statista’s Florian Zandt points out that only one other country in the world comes close to this population share size as our chart shows.Infographic: The Hotspots of Modern Slavery | StatistaWith 9.3 percent or an estimated number of 451,000 modern slaves, the African country of Eritrea comes in second on the ranking analyzing data...

A former African slave said that Black Lives Matter and critical race theory advocates do not understand what is happening in Africa, where more than 9.2 million people "are still in captivity in slavery." "I believe Black Lives Matter does not understand what is going on in Africa. They don't know what is going on around the world," Bol Gai Deng, a former slave and South Sudanese presidential candidate, said during an interview with CBN News."They need to understand that slavery still exists in Africa today. … More than 9.2 million [people] are still in captivity in slavery," he said.Deng...

Today, any connection with slavery, however tenuous, is enough to make historical figures into non-persons. It’s time to treat the subjugation of Jews in Arab lands with the same seriousness. Although anticipated with trepidation, the United Nations’ Durban IV commemoration, titled “Reparations, racial justice and equality for people of African descent,” seems to have turned out to have been a damp squib. But it might not be long before another excuse for an anti-Israel hatefest presents itself. The propaganda strategy behind the Durban conference—to paint one nation (and one nation alone) as racist—remains alive and well on campus and in...

SNIP The priests who are known as Babalawos agreed to warn of an increase in violence and the dangers of war. Cuban Babalawos announced that the ruling deity for 2026 will be Oggún, lord of metals—or weapons—roads, and conflicts. He is also the patron saint of blacksmiths. The religious leaders explained that Oggún's accompanying deity is Oya, the goddess of winds and storms. The combination of these signs and their deities could bring illness, and among the social events of interest are the proliferation of fires and accidents, an increase in violent and criminal acts, and even "significant changes within...
