Did you think the headline was a joke? The UK's National Health Service is the country's government-run (socialistic) healthcare system. Last week, NHS England's "Genomics Education Programme" seriously published guidance that said incest is okay, even if such inbreeding comes with double the risk of genetic defects (this is basic science, folks!). Even dumber (somehow) is the fact that the NHS uses King Henry VIII as an example of cousin marriage. Are the people in charge of the UK's healthcare system actually this dumb? (Intelligence is affected by inbreeding too!) Divorcing your wife and marrying her cousin is not consanguineous...

Niagara Falls is at a 'breaking point' with 'thousands of asylum seekers' taking refuge in the popular tourist hotspot, the city's mayor has warned. The famous southeastern Ontario city has more migrants per capita than any other city in Canada, Niagara Falls Mayor Jim Diodati told The Telegraph. The influx has placed strain on the city's services, hospitals and schools, Diodati claimed, adding that 'our shelters are full, our transitional housing is full, the drug problem is like it's never been before'.

Multiple victims have been injured in a shooting at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan, on Sunday, according to police. The shooter is down and there is no ongoing threat to the public, according to the Grand Blanc Township Police Department. The church is currently on fire. Police are urging the public to avoid the area as emergency response efforts continue.

The guidance – which incredibly points out that it has been allowed in Britain since Henry VIII passed a law enabling him to marry Anne Boleyn's cousin Catherine Howard – says that cousin marriage offers benefits such as 'stronger extended family support systems'. The practice, which is common in the British Pakistani community, has been linked to a greater prevalence of disorders such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell disease. Figures show that up to 20 per cent of the children treated for congenital problems in cities such as Sheffield, Glasgow and Birmingham are of Pakistani descent, compared with 4...

Sad ironies, given Dearborn's storied history. The Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Michigan, sports a population of about 100,000 people. It’s the birthplace of Henry Ford and the longtime world headquarters of the Ford Motor Company. Per the 2020 census, slightly more than half of its population is of North African or Middle Eastern ancestry, the highest percentage of Muslim residents in the United States. Its current mayor, Democrat Abdullah Hammoud, is a Muslim who was born in Dearborn. As I noted in an earlier piece, a Christian minister named Ted Barham recently showed up at a City Council meeting to...

In 1899, Winston Churchill wrote the following:Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die: but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern...

@amuse @amuse UK: Islamic migrants are eating Britain’s swans which are halal according to Sharia law.

British police officers have been accused of acting like the 'Stasi of East Germany' after they arrested a man last night over a social media post. Pete North was arrested at around 9:30pm at his home for a public order offence after he shared a meme on August 5 on X which read: 'F*** Hamas, F*** Palestine, F*** Islam. Want to protest? F*** off to a Muslim country and protest'. The activist, who also has autism and tourettes, shared the exchange on his social media page where it has quickly gather more than 800,000 views.

Chief Rabbi Dr Warren Goldstein @ChiefRabbiSA · The recent beheadings of 70 Christians in a church in the DRC is not an isolated incident. There is a continent wide war being waged by Jihadists against Christians in Africa. Each year, thousands of Christians are murdered, raped, kidnapped and beheaded for their faith, burned inside in their churches across the continent. The world must act now to stop this brutality.

A Houston youth baseball coach was nearly gunned down earlier this week while kneeling before God with his young players in a senseless crime. As Fox News reported, a coach for the Texas Colts was in a pregame prayer with his players on Sunday when three people fired gunshots in their direction from a nearby pasture. Video of the incident obtained by local news outlets shows the 12-year-old players running to safety while the bullets fly. One adult is struck and collapses to the ground next to home plate.

Free speech campaigners have warned Muslims have been 'given the green light to take the law into their own hands' after a man was spared jail for attacking a protester who was burning the Koran. Activist Hamit Coskun, 51, shouted 'f*** Islam', 'Islam is religion of terrorism' and 'Koran is burning', as he held a flaming Islamic text aloft outside the Turkish consulate during a protest in Knightsbridge on February 13. During his protest, Moussa Kadri rushed out of a residential building and told Mr Coskun 'I'm going to kill you', before slashing at him with a knife. Kadri later...

“Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America,” Charlie Kirk tweeted. It was typical of the bold incisive rhetoric that terrified and infuriated the Left. And got him killed.It was also the kind of direct truth that few on the right were willing to speak out loud.Charlie Kirk continued to discuss our reporting on the Islamic genocide against Christians at a time when hardly anyone else would. And with his death, one of the most prominent voices still willing to challenge the Islamic invasion of America and its war on the world was silenced.“Did...

While we are busy fighting with each other in this country (Left and Right), you may not have noticed that one Muslim-dominant community in Michigan is trying to impose its values on its residents and destroy our own: A street once named to honor a Revolutionary War hero has now been partly rebranded for a man critics link to Hezbollah. That culture clash came to a boil not just on the pavement but inside Dearborn’s city hall on Wednesday, September 10 – where the mayor stunned residents by telling a local taxpayer he wasn’t welcome in his own hometown after...

The head of Iran's atomic energy organisation, Mohammad Eslami, has arrived in Moscow for talks, Russia's state-run RIA news agency quoted the Iranian embassy as saying on Monday. The 15-member UN Security Council earlier opted not to permanently lift sanctions on Tehran, after three European countries launched a 30-day process last month to reimpose them, accusing Tehran of failing to abide by a 2015 deal with world powers aimed at preventing it from developing a nuclear weapon. Iran denies having any such intention, and Russia says it supports Tehran's right to peaceful nuclear energy. Eslami is also Iran's vice president....

Though he once advised Democrats that "if your opponent brings a knife, you bring a gun," former President Obama asserted that "Trump's extreme policies and rhetoric have poisoned our politics. He wants to shut our country off from the immigrants we need to do the work that Americans won't do. He's mercilessly deporting family men like Abrego Garcia. He wants to punish rather than show compassion toward individuals driven to crime to support themselves in the lackluster economy his policies have inflicted on the middle class. He's firing tens of thousands of long-tenured public servants. These extreme views were not...

A federal district judge sentenced former state Sen. Leland Yee, a San Francisco Democrat, to five years in prison Wednesday for trading political favors for campaign contributions. He was also fined $20,000. Yee admitted in a plea deal that he was part of a racketeering conspiracy that involved exchanging official acts for money, conspiring to traffic in weapons and money laundering. Specifically, Lee promised an undercover FBI agent favors in return for campaign contributions. During the hourlong proceedings, Yee asked the court for leniency in light of his public humiliation, his wife's severe illness, his admissions of wrongdoing and his...

From Wikimedia Commons: Bombardment of Tripoli, August 3, 1804 (Michele Felice Cornè, 1806). In the decades following the American Revolution, the U.S. found itself navigating a perilous global seascape. Deprived of British naval protection, its merchant ships became vulnerable to predation from the notorious “Barbary corsairs” — state-sponsored pirates operating from the North African coast. These sailors, under the command of Muslim tyrants in Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli, and Morocco, preyed on Christian shipping in the Mediterranean and Atlantic, capturing ships and enslaving their crews. For the U.S., a nation newly born and diplomatically inexperienced, the threat posed by the Barbary...

“For over two centuries, the Home Secretary has safeguarded the nation. Today, we begin a new chapter as we welcome Shabana Mahmood to the Home Office as the new Home Secretary,” the British government announced. It is indeed a new chapter for the Pakistani Muslim politician, who took her oath of office on a Koran and who has now become the highest ranking Muslim in the British government. And a new chapter for Islamic colonialism as seeing the white flag, 1,000 Muslim invaders crossed the Channel and invaded England on Mahmood’s first day at work. ... The Home Secretary is...
