The municipality of Molenbeek, a town in the Brussels metropolitan area known for being a hotbed of jihadists, is once again making headlines. During a city council meeting, a veiled Socialist councillor, complaining about derogatory comments made about her online by her political opponents, suggested that Belgians unhappy with the creeping Islamisation of their city should “get out.” This blatant reversal of the usual discourse against the foreigner has sparked outrage, confirming a growing sentiment among Europeans that they are no longer welcome in their own country. The comments were made by Saliha Raïs, a Socialist politician from the Vooruit...

Autism claims rose from $3 million to $400 million. The $250 million ‘Feeding Our Future’ free food fraud in which Somali groups stole a quarter of a billion dollars while claiming to feed hundreds of thousands of children who never existed seemed like the biggest case of welfare fraud in Minnesota, but it may be just the beginning. Somali autism fraud, partly linked to the ‘Feeding Our Future’ scam, may be even bigger and after the FBI raids of autism clinics last December, the scale of it is still being put together. The pattern in both Somali meals for children...

Socialism is defined as a system of social organization where the ownership of property and the distribution of income are subject to social rather than private control. This definition reflects the early understanding of socialism as a form of social democracy, where the government plays a role in the economy and distribution of resources. It’s interesting that we see on the horizon those who have come into America asking for asylum from the oppressive and destructive measures of the government that they allegedly sought asylum from. Then, they attempt to implement the very government here in America that they fled...

It’s a “housing crisis.” It’s because Republicans are evil and don’t care about the downtrodden. It’s because capitalism is cruel. It's because we don't throw enough money at the problem.We’re talking about the homelessness crisis, and the Democrats who are in charge of many of the cities hardest hit by the devastation will blame almost anything other than their own failed policies. But according to a study from researchers at the University of Chicago and Dartmouth College—not exactly institutions known as conservative bastions—there’s another reason behind the startling rise in the homeless population, and it’s not what Gavin Newsom, JB...
