The reason this video of a family being murdered in their own living room exists is because Palestinians used the victims’ phones to live stream their deaths to their families and friends.

I saw an original video a day or two after October 7, when the swathe of video evidences was being poured online and the platforms hadn’t yet caught up with flagging and blocking them for violence and gore violations. I think it was this family’s video.

The daughter is shot in the head as she sits next to her little brother, who completely loses it.

As the mother struggles to calm her son, fearful they will tire of his screaming and kill him too, the captors start negotiating with the father to kill him out of sight of his family, in a macabre gesture of mercy.

Told that they will shoot him now, in front of his wife and son, ultimately he yields. He is taken outside and shot.

That video and the 12 year old girl paraded through cheering Palestinian crowds as blood soaks the crotch of her shorts from her repeated rapes…those are seared into my brain.

Fvck the Islamic regime and anytime who supports their mass-murdering cult.

While the world watches the war, the Islamic Republic of Iran hanged a 19-year-old boy today.

His name is Erfan Esfandiari and he was his parents' only child.

He did not kill anyone. He did not carry a weapon. His crime, according to the Islamic Republic, was opening a door. Sheltering protesters who were running from security forces. That was enough to send him to the gallows.

Erfan was one of 12 young men in the Alikhani Square case in Isfahan, arrested during the January 2026 uprising. Yesterday, all 12 were moved to quarantine. Today, the Islamic Republic hanged him.

This is a government that is so terrified of a generation that refuses to be silent, that it executes teenagers for the act of compassion.

Say his name. Because the regime is already trying to erase him. Because his mother and father are left with nothing, not even the right to grieve loudly.

Ireland and Spain are the two largest Israel-hating countries in Europe. Here is what Douglas Murray said about Ireland:

As for the Irish obsession with Israel . . , I want to hear Ireland talk about Israel probably Last among all things in this life. Ireland, Never forget, decided that in the 20th century, that in the war against Nazi fascism it should be neutral and it forbade its ports even being used by the Royal Navy in its fight against Adolf Hitler, and many thousands of British servicemen went to the bottom of the ocean because of the Irish people and Irish governments obscene love of Adolf Hitler.

I will not hear in the 21st century, the descendants of Hitler-Lovers in Ireland telling me about the Jewish state’s right to exist. I would rather hear Hamas sing than hear Irish politicians talking about Jews. They have no damn right. They've done nothing in their history that gives them the right to tell the Jewish people what they should do in their historic homeland.

To the Americans:

I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.

And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:

You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.

This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.

Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.

This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.

But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.

This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.

And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:

Thank God for the United States.

Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.

Long may your admirable country dominate the world.

Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.

May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.

Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.

Thank God for the USA.

Happy 250th.

As pride month closes out for most … I’d just like to remind everyone that it all started with Lesbians and Gay men who stood up and demanded to be treated equally and to not live in fear.

We got our rights. We went on with our lives.

What we see today is opportunistic radical activists who have hijacked a once honorable cause with their band of merry liberal white men and women who virtue signal until they are blue in the face.

Here’s an archival video of the first Pride March in 1970. I don’t see any “trans” or furries or queers for Palestine or naked men wandering around demanding affirmation and special treatment.

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

After years of being banned from entering a stadium in my own country, for no crime other than being a woman, this is how I walked in.

This was the World Cup FIFA 2026 between England and Panama but for me, it was beyond that.

You have to be a woman from Iran or Afghanistan to truly understand this emotion.

For whom this simple act, walking into a stadium, moving with joy, showing my hair, sitting next to men, was not just forbidden. I was beaten for it. Imprisoned for it. Humiliated for it. Exiled for it. And even in exile, I became a target for multiple assassination plots.

And now people lecture me: "Don't politicize football."

I have a question: which part of my body hasn't already been politicized by the Islamic Republic? My hair? My voice? My seat in a stadium?

They turned our entire existence into a political battlefield. Every inch of a woman was a crime scene under their law.

And now I'm supposed to just sit back, eat a hot dog, and enjoy the game?

I did enjoy the game. England won. But walking through those gates, that was the real victory.

[Drew Pavlou 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @DrewPavlou]

With my birthday yesterday I was reflecting on the way I first got into public life. I was only 20 years old when Chinese international students at my Australian university basically tried to form a lynch mob against me because I insulted Xi Jinping.

The University of Queensland then spent half a million dollars trying to expel me as a student because they didn't want to lose their close economic relationship with China.

Actually unbelievable that none of these foreign students were deported at the time. Australia actually had a Liberal conservative government and they didn't deport a single person. We were so, so cucked as a nation.

In the end I managed to defeat the University of Queensland's attempt to expel me basically only because Senator Marco Rubio told the Australian government that the Americans were not happy. I only learned that years later.

I like the Americans. Fuck communists and fuck our cucked self hating governments in the West.

“To me, Henry wasn't a headline or a court case. He was my best friends funny, caring, cheeky son. Henry had a way of making people smile without even trying. He had so much life ahead of him, so many plans, and so much love to give. When Henry was just a baby, Lucy gave me the honour of being his godmother. Our kids, like us shared their childhood. Henry's loved ones were just normal people and we were enjoying watching our kids grow into adults, naively taking for granted that we would see all the wonderful things that life had to offer them.

On December 5th 2025, when the news broke, life as we knew it stopped.

My focus in what I want to say will always be Henry and Henry's family.

But, nothing I could ever say would come close to explaining the pain of losing Henry. But alongside the heartbreak of losing Henry has been the pain of watching one of the kindest families I have ever known have their entire world torn apart.

I was lucky enough to grow up with the family of my best friends Lucy (Henry's Mum) and Katie (Henry's aunty). The family make everyone feel welcome. Their home is filled with kindness, warmth and laughter. No matter what life throws at them they always find a way to bring light to those around them. They are generous with their time, compassionate in their hearts, and the sort of people who make others feel like family too, including me and then my children. Their laughter is infectious, their support unwavering, and their love for one another shines through in everything they do.

My heart is broken for them, a very large part of them died on the day that monster chose to rip Henry from their lives. Yet even through their darkest days they continued to be the wonderful people that they are. Their focus during these dark times was to shine a light on and raise money for the charity that has helped them.

Then, 6 months after Henry's death, the heart ache continued as they had to face the trial. Being subjected to sit in a room with the monster who brutally murdered their son and watch the lies spill so easily from his mouth. A man who has not once showed an an ounce of remorse for what he did. They endured a living nightmare.

Thinking that things could not possibly get worse, in the last few weeks they have learned that the very institution that is there to protect us not only ignored Henry's plea for help, but they sided with the monster who put him on the ground .

Henry's family learned that his last moments were not only spent so afraid of the monster who attacked him but he was then wronged and let down by the police officer who I have no doubt, Henry assumed was there to help him.

That police officer handcuffed Henry and read him his rights. The last thing my best friend's beautiful boy heard before we lost him forever.

This image, we will never ever be able to erase from our minds. Family, friends and now the world, will have seen that image and we all have to live with it forever.

Shame on the monster who took you, shame on the police officer who should have helped you and shame on the organisation that trained the police officer to side with an incorrect racist slur over a dying young man. Shame on you all!!

You treated a loving caring intelligent hardworking young man, with such disregard and disrespect. You treated Henry's family, such good people, with such dishonesty! The lies have been inforgivable !! HOW DARE YOU.

Henry deserved so much more from this life. Henry and his family have been let down so badly.

THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN TO ANYONE, ANYONE'S CHILD.

This has to stop now.

Henry we will fight until the end for you. The world will know your name. You changed our lives for the better for being a part of it, I believe you will now go on to change the lives of others by the legacy you will leave.

God bless you my darling 💙”

[Seth Frantzman @sfrantzman]

What is the protocol and training for law enforcement in the UK if they arrive at a scene and one man who is standing and healthy says “this man said something racist and hit me” and the other man is curled up on the ground, incapacitated and says “I can’t breathe, I’ve been stabbed.”

Two men. One is on the ground unable to move, clearly the weaker and less threatening party to the incident.

Why would police immediately handcuff the man on the ground. No interview or discussion with him. No examination. No assistance or aid rendered. No investigation, just automatically handcuff one man, the obviously weaker and incapacitated one; and leave the other man standing without handcuffs?

What procedure leads to this. The man on the ground didn’t threaten anyone, he was barely able to speak. He said he’d been stabbed. But police automatically believed the stronger party, the one standing over him.

Why?

What training and doctrine tells them to arrive at a scene and automatically believe one man, among two, who claimed to have been in an altercation? And why would they handcuff a person who can barely move and already be reading him his rights without ANY investigation or interviewing both parties.

The dying man on the ground wasn’t armed or dangerous or doing anything. Why would he immediately be placed in handcuffs. What’s the procedure that leads to that.

Anyone in the UK or visiting the UK should want to know. If one is a victim of assault or a stabbing how does one not get handcuffed for being the victim?

What could the victim have done or said so that police wouldn’t immediately handcuff him and accuse him and basically judge him guilty without interviewing both parties to the altercation they believed had taken place?

Is there anything that the victim could have done to get police to render assistance? He said he had been stabbed and couldn’t breathe. Two officers (at least two) dismissed this and automatically judged him guilty and were inclined not to believe him.

What training tells an officer that they shouldn’t believe a wounded person who is curled up on the ground saying he has been stabbed…and instead believe the stronger man standing over him?

What is the protocol and training that leads to this?

It should be investigated and the entire training changed so police are trained to render aid and assist and not automatically believe the perpetrator of a crime and dismiss the victim

This isn’t “he said-he said” or “both sides”…they never interviewed the dying person, Henry Nowak; they just put him in handcuffs. Why?

Everyone should be shocked by this case and demand more answers

We need to know why the officers did this. Anyone walking the streets of the UK should want to know.

[Nigel Farage @Nigel_Farage]

This is the most shocking footage of discrimination that you will ever see.

A white boy being handcuffed by police officers more concerned by an accusation of racism than an act of murder.

This must be a turning point. White lives matter too.

[Darya Safai MP @SafaiDarya]

Amira Hashwi, from Dearborn Heights, Michigan, won the title of “Miss Wayne County” on August 10, 2025. She became the first hijab-wearing woman in the history of the “Miss America” organization to wear the crown during the City of Dearborn’s centennial Memorial Day celebration.

Is this really the direction the Western world is taking?

The hijab is increasingly being normalized, celebrated, and even glorified under the name of “modern feminism” and “celebrating diversity.”

But this is very wrong.

In Islamic culture, the hijab is traditionally associated with modesty, invisibility, and the idea that women should cover themselves to avoid the “lustful gaze” of men. It was never meant to be a fashion statement, a beauty symbol, or a public crown of empowerment. It turns women into a second gender.

So how did a symbol rooted in religious discrimination become promoted on beauty pageant stages?

Western societies now present this as “progress” and “women’s rights,” but the reality is that it sends the opposite message. Instead of liberating women from religious pressure and patriarchal expectations, it normalizes and romanticizes them.

Stop this dangerous “game” !

Barbara Walters writes:
Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during the Vietnam War.
The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho LoPrison, the "Hanoi Hilton."
Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American "peace activist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received.
He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward onto the camp commandant 's feet, which sent that officer berserk.
In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied application of a wooden baton.
From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent 6 years in the "Hanoi Hilton". . . The first three of which his family only knew he was "missing in action." His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and clothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit.
They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they were alive and still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his Social Security Number on it, in the palm of his hand. When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?" and "Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?" Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper.
She took them all without missing a beat. . . At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and handed him all the little pieces of paper...
Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know of her actions that day.
I was a civilian economic development adviser in Vietnam, and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years.
I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage in Cambodia; and one year in a 'black box' in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Banme Thuot, South Vietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs.)
We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals."
When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with her. I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POWs received. . . and how different it was from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as "humane and lenient."
Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched with a large steel weight placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane.
I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She never did answer me.
These first-hand experiences do not exemplify someone who should be honored as part of "100 Years of Great Women." Lest we forget. . . "100 Years of Great Women" should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many patriots.
There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in blatant treason, is one of them. Please take the time to forward to as many people as you possibly can. It will eventually end up on her computer, and she needs to know that we will never forget. See less

The fact that you ACTUALLY BELIEVE that Donald Trump is a "racist, fascist, criminal scumbag" reveals the following things about you:

1. You are very poorly informed about American politics.
2. You are extremely susceptible to propaganda.
3. You possess inadequate critical thinking skills.
4. You allow emotion to color your judgment in such a way as to render you wholly untrustworthy on any matter of significance.
