- "Boat crammed with 99 Haitian migrants cut off trying to sneak onto US shores, shipped back home"--New York Post. Intercepted by the Coast Guard about 35 miles off the coast of Cap-Haitien in Haiti.
- On the subject of the world's oldest black republic: "Caribbean Catastrophe: Avoiding the Haiti Fallout"--Hoover Institute. The article begins by painting a picture of what a mess is the country of Haiti:
Described as “apocalyptic” by William O’Neill, whom the United Nations Human Rights Council appointed its expert on Haiti, the country has suffered thousands of homicides as well as kidnappings, with rape a common occurrence. In addition to the violence, Haitians experience a constant lack of food, shelter, water, and medical services. All the necessities of a functioning state remain in disrepair. The humanitarian catastrophe has displaced more than five hundred thousand Haitians, a majority of whom are seeking entry into the United States, legally or not. More than three hundred thousand Haitians have been granted safe haven through the Temporary Protected Status program, as the Biden administration expanded program coverage last summer.
But it then argues for armed intervention involving U.S. troops lest the Haitians flee the country en masse to surrounding countries and the U.S. Or, here is a brilliant idea, rather than waste our blood and treasure trying to salvage what cannot be saved, we defend our borders and let nature take its course in Haiti. It would be cheaper to interdict boats leaving Haiti than to send troops into Haiti.
- "Trouble in Paradise: Battling crime wave in Trinidad & Tobago"--BBC. Reads the article, "With murders soaring, Trinidad and Tobago's government declared a state of emergency on 30 December. It was originally due to last 15 days, but as it was about to run out, parliament voted to extend it for a further three months until mid-April."
- Don't make the black kids angry: "Boy, 17, dies in his twin brothers arms after being murdered for most senseless reason at track meet"--Daily Mail.
Austin Metcalf was attacked on Wednesday at the Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco after he told 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony he was sitting in the wrong chair, according to the late teen's family.
Anthony was charged with murder after he allegedly stabbed Metcalf in the heart as his twin brother Hunter watched in horror and then tried to save his life.
USA's Stephanie Turner initially lined up to face Redmond Sullivan in a tournament at the University of Maryland earlier this week, only to take a knee and remove her mask in protest at being matched against a biological male.
As a result, she was subsequently excluded from the Cherry Blossom competition and suspended for the remainder of it after being shown a black card.
I'm old enough to remember when women taking male hormones was enough to disqualify them from women's athletics. Now its okay for actual men to compete in women's athletics. I bet it would change, though, if it started angering Muslims because, for obvious reasons, if government officials don't respect Muslims, they at least fear them. And that is the basic problem we face in the West: our governments neither respect nor fear the citizenry. At the least they should fear to lose their jobs, which means that the primary steps to recover our democratic forms of government will require eliminating government labor unions, make government employment "at-will", and bring back the spoils system.
- "Transgender Nashville shooter Audrey Hale spent years preparing for attack that killed 6 at Christian school"--New York Post.
Nashville police have released their final report on the Covenant School massacre – a targeted March 2023 attack on a Christian school by a transgender shooter who killed three third-graders and three adults.
Rather than a highly anticipated manifesto, the report found that killer Audrey Hale left behind numerous notebooks, art books and computer documents about her plans to commit the attack and gain notoriety, partly inspired by the Columbine school shooting in 1999.
Hale, the 28-year-old attacker and biological female, began “fantasizing” about and researching mass shootings as far back as 2017, according to investigators. A year later, she wrote “detailed fantasies” about shooting up the Isaac T. Creswell Middle Magnet School for the Arts, killing her father and killing her psychiatrist.

Hale wanted people to remember her after her death, according to the document, and was partly inspired by books and documentaries on the Columbine killers. She wanted similar records of her own life and expected her guns, artwork and journals to be preserved in museums around the world.
“Most disturbingly, she wanted the things she left behind to be shared with the world so she could inspire and teach others who were ‘mentally disordered’ like her to plan and commit an attack of their own,” investigators wrote.
Notably, Hale did not describe being bullied or harassed at the school, but recollected her time there as one of the happiest times in her life. Instead, she picked the school because it was the least likely location where anyone would be able to stop her.

- "Government Funneled Unprecedented Amount Of Money To Criminal Gangs Through COVID Relief, Oversight Report Finds"--Daily Caller. From December 2024:
The U.S. federal government sent an unprecedented amount of money to fraudsters and international criminal gangs through COVID-19 relief programs, according to a Friday report from the American Enterprise Institute (AEI).
The government provided an estimated $872 billion in assistance through programs like the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) and the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), at least 17% of which — amounting to nearly $200 billion — was “disbursed to potentially fraudulent actors,” AEI’s Matt Weidinger wrote, quoting an after action review from the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic under the Committee on Oversight and Accountability.
- "Starbucks Reverses Open Public Bathroom Policy After Junkie Influx Created Unsafe Environment"--Zero Hedge. "Newly appointed Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol has reportedly reversed a seven-year policy that allowed the general public to use store bathrooms without making a purchase," the article relates. "The policy had resulted in widespread drug use at certain store locations, particularly in lawless, Democrat-controlled cities." Heh.
- "Walgreens CEO makes stunning claim about the impact locking goods up has had on the industry"--Daily Mail. First, he states that locking up goods did not work because, surprising no one, people couldn't purchase products that were locked up which caused sales to decline; and so the chain is going to be closing stores instead. Second, even with locking things up, the chain still saw a 52% increase in theft.
- Good! "Bill Gates Foundation, Other Nonprofits Could Lose Tax-Exempt Status Over Anti-White Discrimination"--Daily Wire.
The Gates Foundation, AAER says, is “intentionally discriminating against white students by excluding them from the tuition assistance and specialized support that it provides to students of every other race or ethnicity.” The foundation’s Gates Scholarship states that the program is a “highly selective, last dollar scholarship for outstanding, minority high school students” before listing acceptable racial and ethnic backgrounds in its eligibility requirements.
- Time to call the wambulance! "Military women left fuming after US Air Force changes appearance policy"--Daily Mail. What horrible changes were made? "Now, women can only wear clear polish or have a French or American manicure. An American manicure is similar to a French, with white tips and a clear or softer skin-colored natural polish underneath instead of using start [sic] pink and white."
'Three options! No matter what your skin tone,' Elora exclaimed.
'People are not happy,' Elora explained about Reddit forums where fellow military women are complaining and questioning the new rulings. 'They think that the priorities are a little bit skewed right now and nail polish is not really that serious.'
She said people believe 'there are a lot of other things that should be focused on when it comes to military readiness and recruiting.'
One thing we can do to increase military readiness is get rid of service women who are hung up on what colors of nail polish they are allowed.

Liberty Counsel filed a lawsuit on behalf of an Idaho Army National Guard infantry officer against Governor Brad Little and two army generals for unlawfully removing the officer from command solely due to his personal Christian expression on biblical sexuality made outside of the military environment. An investigation into the officer, which revealed no wrongdoing, nevertheless recommended a policy to monitor potential candidates for command for any “concerning ideologies” as a way of “rooting out” any “extremism” in the ranks. In this case, the decision to remove him from command on this basis shows that his superiors believe his Bible-centered beliefs on sexuality to be concerning and essentially puts an unconstitutional “No Christians in Command” policy into action.
The article relates that "Major David Worley ran for mayor of Pocatello, Idaho, and during his campaign, he spoke out against drag queen story hours, explicit material in public libraries, and transgender treatments for children. He made all of those statements outside of his duties with the Idaho Army National Guard."

- When grift and multiculturalism collide: "Biden-Appointed Judge Blocks Trump from Defunding Free Lawyers for Migrants"--Breitbart.
In February, as Breitbart News reported, the Trump administration paused funding for the Acacia Center for Justice — a non-governmental organization (NGO) that provides free lawyers to tens of thousands of UACs hoping to stay in the United States using millions in American taxpayer dollars.
During the Biden administration, the Acacia Center for Justice secured $200 million in federal contracts to provide lawyers to UACs.
Late on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Araceli Martinez Olguin, who was born in Mexico City and was appointed by Biden, became the latest federal judge to block Trump from carrying out his “America First” agenda.
“The irreparable harm resulting from Defendants’ actions weighs in favor of temporary injunctive relief,” Olguin wrote while issuing a temporary restraining order that will require the Trump administration to continue funneling taxpayer money to the Acacia Center for Justice.
- "Canada Discovers True Multiculturalism"--Vox Day. Quoting from a piece about how the old-guard political alliances that help flood the country with immigrants is now discovering that the new immigrants aren't interested in the old-guard's politics but are looking out for their own. Google is proving to be its useless self, so I can't find the link to the original source, although I believe it was a from the X account of κρῠπτός (kruptos). An excerpt:
... But, immigration has been promoted to the scale that that the one time client has now realized that it can form it’s own client base. So Indians, the Chinese, and to a lesser extent Middle Eastern Muslims have begun to work in concert. Each works for the benefit of their own group. ...
* * *
As a non-Indian or a non-Chinese or a non-Middle Easterner in Canada ... one of the political calculations that has to be made is the question of containing and subverting or undermining the political influence of these groups. They are a threat to all three of the original power bases and to the nation as a whole. Why? Because they place family, clan, and ethnic loyalty ahead of other interests. It is not in their thinking culturally to look out for the nation as a whole.
You are thinking in older terms of DEI or the “meritocracy,” hiring the best candidates, and they are looking to hire or place Indians in positions whenever possible. You cannot defeat this by emphasizing institutional neutrality. That will be used against you. The shift that is going to have to come is that you will have do as they are doing or you will lose to them because they are better organized and are better at looking after their own interests. Attach whatever negative label you want to this, but you have been warned.
