BBC Host Claims Islam is Peaceful, Then FREEZES When Douglas Murray Asks This!

Daniel Schonbuch

"Well done Mr Murray. This man is a public treasure. One of the things about the Jihad is it always seem to be about Pakistani Moslem or Hamas Moslem but we never get the real take from the Arab People in Saudi Arabia who control the Islamic world. It is strange too that most of the people fighting in the Jihad are the appear to be descendants of conquered slaves rather than free born Arab Islamists. Somalians, Bangladesh, Pakistan and so on. More Islamic than their Arab masters."

Iran Protesters BURN DOWN Army Headquarters in Western Iran

Oneindia News

"Iran is witnessing a dramatic surge in unrest after protesters reportedly stormed and burned a Basij paramilitary headquarters in the city of Asadabad, Hamadan province. The Basij — a key arm of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard — is typically deployed to crush demonstrations, making the attack a serious escalation against the regime. Crowds were heard chanting “Death to Khamenei” as anti-government protests spread nationwide amid soaring inflation, currency collapse, and growing economic despair. Meanwhile, exiled opposition figure Reza Pahlavi is calling for nationwide strikes and international support, while Tehran officials blame foreign interference — including alleged Israeli involvement — as security forces warn of a “decisive response.”

Somali daycare claims someone broke in and stole all their documents, but the ‘break-in’ appears completely staged

 Olivia Murray  

"Manager of the Nokomis Daycare Center in Minneapolis, says a burglar broke into their daycare center, conveniently stealing all of their student records.."
"With all the fraud being exposed in Minnesota around the Somalis and their different entrepreneurial exploits, from daycares like the “Learing Center” that apparently only operates between two in the afternoon and ten at night to the autism clinics submitting false claims, the national spotlight is on the individuals running these various ventures.

"Yet, fortunately for one of the Somali-run daycares, someone allegedly broke in and stole a bunch of “important documents” from the facility (thought no loss was reported to the initial responding officers), and now, at no fault of their own, they can’t prove how legitimate the business really was! Another case of the dog that ate the homework.

. . . "I have almost zero understanding in the world of building and construction, but I am aware enough to see that drywall was evidently cut from the inside of the building. There’s no hole on the other side! How big was this thief? The size of a leprechaun? The depth of the wall is only a cinder block, so are they expecting us to believe some diminutive thief shimmied through the wall, cut a hole from the inside, and climbed out that little hole? It’s laughable.

"As a friend also joked, the way the drywall was cut is also incriminating, as it looks ridiculous. Whoever did it is entirely unskilled ergo, it had to be a Somali. And, how convenient that the thief knew exactly where the documents were…in some random room next to a water heater."  More...


. . . "Scott Jennings replied that while "some people have been held accountable," many Republicans feel that "not nearly enough" have been brought to anything that looks close to justice.

"And truthfully, until somebody in a position of power — until somebody in a position in Minnesota, elected position, who was in charge of administering this or having some oversight over it — goes to jail, it’s honestly never going to stop," he said."

"It’s not "white supremacy" to investigate fraud. This attack no longer works."

Laughs with Leno...on New Year’s Day

American Thinker

"I’m waxing nostalgic for a time when late-night actually meant witty comedy."


"In current times, the news media are the primary propaganda wing for the left, while entertainment media aren’t far behind.

"In addition to entertaining, comedians have a function to speak truth to power and challenge the status quo through the lens of satire.

"George Carlin famously said that it’s the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately, but alas, very little heed has been paid to this axiomatic guiding principle for comics.

"Instead, the current comedians have become their loyal terriers who crawl when ordered to bend, and obsequiously prostrate when the establishment orders them to crawl. This has made them predictable and indistinguishable, while their humor has been replaced by spiteful scorn.

"The only dissenter is Greg Gutfeld; he may lean to the right, but his goal is humor, and as a result, he dominated the late-night scene despite being on cable TV.

"But it wasn’t always like this." . . .   

"Leno’s arch-rival and nemesis, David Letterman, was a darling of the critics, but Leno always dominated the ratings.  This is perhaps because Letterman’s liberal bias was obvious."    More... Like this example below:

US applications for jobless benefits fell below 200,000 last week with layoffs historically low

 UK Independent

"Fewer Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week as layoffs remain low despite a weakening labor market"


"Fewer Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week as layoffs remain low despite a weakening labor market.
"U.S. applications for jobless claims for the week ending Dec. 27 fell by 16,000 to 199,000 from the previous week’s 215,000, the Labor Department reported Wednesday. Analysts surveyed by the data firm FactSet forecast 208,000 new applications.
"The weekly report was released a day early due to the New Year’s Day holiday.
"Applications for unemployment aid are viewed as a proxy for layoffs and are close to a real-time indicator of the health of the job market.
"The four-week average of claims, which evens out some of the week-to-week volatility, rose by 1,750 to 218,7500.
"The total number of Americans filing for jobless benefits for the previous week ending Dec. 20 fell by 47,000 to 1.87 million, the government said."

Hunter Biden throws his father under the bus

 "The Bidens have everything against them. Now that includes each other."


Hunter Biden throws his father under the bus in a stunning interview | BREAKING News, Politics, and Opinion   . . . "In a stunning turn, Hunter Biden sharply criticized his father, former President Joe Biden, during an extensive podcast appearance this week, conceding that the 46th president’s open-border immigration approach and the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal were outright disasters that harmed America.
" 'We need vibrant immigration,” the 55-year-old said on The Shawn Ryan Show in a marathon five-and-a-half-hour episode released Monday.
" 'But we don’t want immigrants that are coming here illegally, draining us of resources, and being prioritized above people that are actual, literal heroes, that are still recovering from 21, 20 years of endless war — or anybody else in our society.”
"Under Joe Biden’s tenure, illegal crossings exploded, with estimates of 2.4 million immigrants entering annually according to the Congressional Budget Office—and Goldman Sachs analysis revealing that 60% arrived unlawfully, overwhelming communities and straining public resources.
"Hunter also revisited a failed border security bill, claiming the Biden White House had secured Republican support for a comprehensive measure negotiated by Sens. James Lankford (R-Okla.), Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.), and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.).
" 'And then Donald Trump stepped in six months before the [2024] election, and told [Republicans] that he was gonna primary every single one of them that voted for that, because we’re addicted to the problem,” said the younger Biden.
"Yet while the Biden administration repeatedly demanded congressional action to address the crisis it fueled, President Trump has masterfully used executive authority in both terms to restore order and dramatically reduce illegal entries.
Scathing Admission on Afghanistan Debacle  
"Turning to foreign policy blunders, Hunter bluntly told host Shawn Ryan that the humiliating Afghanistan exit “was an obvious f—ing failure.”
" 'I think that there was a better way to do it, and … I can blame it on his generals, I can blame it on [other] people [for] the way in which we did it, but — and my dad always knew this also, is that the buck stops with him.”
"The hasty pullout culminated in tragedy, with an ISIS-K bombing at Kabul airport claiming the lives of 13 brave U.S. service members as they worked to evacuate desperate Afghans amid the Taliban’s swift takeover." . . .  SNOPES: Ashley Biden Diary is Authentic. . . Debate Politics

Will the media do to Nick Shirley as they did and do to President Trump?


CNN Panel Spends Two And A Half Minutes Trying To Dismiss Journalist Who Blew Lid Off Somali Scammer Scandal   "
Former MSNBC [Of course!] host Tiffany Cross and Democratic strategist Maria Cardona spent over two and a half minutes on “CNN NewsNight” Tuesday trying to dismiss independent journalist Nick Shirley’s reporting on Somali-run day care centers that allegedly scammed Minnesota out of millions of dollars.

"Shirley touched off a social media storm Friday when he posted a photo of one day-care center, which displayed a banner calling it “The Greater Learing Center” on X, along with a 42-minute video that went viral showing him visiting that and other day-care centers. “CNN NewsNight” host Abby Phillip asked the panel to discuss the Trump administration’s announcement that it could cut off funds from Minnesota over the fraud." . . .

Cross, whose MSNBC show featured racially-charged attacks on conservatives, particularly black conservatives, attacked Shirley, claiming he targeted the Somali day care centers because of President Donald Trump’s rhetoric.

 Nick Shirley fires back at CBS News reporter suggesting Minnesota daycare centers weren't fraudulent   "Independent journalist Nick Shirley called out CBS News reporter Jonah Kaplan over his video claiming that the Minnesota daycare centers Shirley visited were not "fraudulent."

"Kaplan, who works with CBS News' Minneapolis affiliate, posted a video shared on CBS News' X account on Tuesday that offered "its own analysis" of nearly a dozen daycare centers Shirley visited in his viral video. In his video, Kaplan reported that while the locations Shirley highlighted have received citations for issues related to safety and cleanliness, there was no evidence of fraud." . . .

Nick Shirley Explains Why Media Missed Fraud ‘Kindergartener’ Could Find

“I don’t know. Like, they are scared of being called now, because it’s Somalis committing this fraud, they are scared to be called Islamophobic, racist, which has nothing to do with what’s going on because fraud is fraud,” Shirley said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s a black person, a white person, Asian versus Mexican, fraud is fraud and we worked too hard to simply be paying taxes and enabling fraud to be happening.”

CNN is forced to admit Trump kicked out Epstein from Mar-a-Lago and cut ties in 2003 over sexual misconduct with a staffer.

New Report Confirms Trump Kicked Epstein Out of Mar-A-Lago After He Pressured Young Employee for Sex  

"White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told The WSJ that Trump kicked Epstein out for being a “creep.' ”


"A new report confirmed on Wednesday that President Donald Trump cut ties with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after he pressured a young employee at Mar-a-Lago for sex in 2003. 
"Trump said in July that he banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago in the early 2000s because he “stole” spa staffers, while other reports suggested that Epstein was removed for making advances toward another member’s teenage daughter.
"A report by The Wall Street Journal claimed that Trump permanently removed Epstein from the premises after an 18-year-old beautician told her managers that Epstein had made sexual advances toward her.
"The beautician told the managers that Epstein had made advances during a personal house call, which prompted one of them to fax Trump about the allegations and urged him to ban Epstein, according to The WSJ. Trump said it was a good letter and said that Epstein should be removed." . . .

Heroes and Zeroes of 2025

 The American Spectator


To nobody’s surprise, 2025 was a tumultuous year. Reversing a half-century of cultural, domestic, and geopolitical rot had to take a heavy toll, which it did in the blood of one crusader. Yet while the denizens of Leftist Hell increased their demonic shrieking, fearless conservative leaders began to expose them as the denuded maniacs they are. This, despite dissension on the Right — though not the true spiritual Right, led by the man shot dead in Utah last September. Whether common sense will be in ascent or descent next Christmas depends on who will follow in his footsteps over the next few months.
Heroes
"Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk earned his place as the most influential traditionalist Christian leader of American youth. To be 18 and realize everything you learned from academia, news media, and entertainment media was a lie is shocking enough. But then, to do something about it, out of your garage, founding an organization to uncloud young minds; that is historic. Charlie didn’t rest on the triumph of Turning Point USA. He went into the trenches, debating the deluded. And the more of them he turned to reason, the more the rest despised him. Last fall, one killed him. But because Charlie lived the faithful life he championed, the right person succeeded him.Erika Kirk. The whole world watched the moment Erika Kirk became a widow and the single mother of two little children. Most people were horrified, even on the Left, yet far too many were jubilant, only on the Left. Through the unbearable darkness of being, Erika’s courage and class shone brighter. She publicly forgave her husband’s depraved assassin and took the helm of TPUSA, vowing to make it into a formidable force for truth, justice, and the American Way. She’s not a superhero, but she is a wonder woman, empowered by love of family, country, and God.
"Donald Trump. "The Soviet Union outlasted Ronald Reagan by three years before falling from the mortal wound he dealt it. The Democrats may not survive Trump for that long, though their hatred for him is the glue holding them together. No Republican president ever damaged them the way Trump has so soon in his second term, by extracting every card in their house of marked cards — DEI, the open border, trans equality, a nuclear Iran, even artistic hegemony. I look forward to attending the Trump Kennedy Center in the New Year, and laughing off leftist howls.
"Marco Rubio. "I voted for Rubio over Trump in the 2016 Florida primary. Not because he’s a fellow Cuban (though that helped) but because, like many, I thought Trump was nuts. History not only proved me wrong, but it slapped me by making Trump the second greatest president of my lifetime (with a shot at the title) and Rubio the greatest secretary of state. Just three of his accomplishments: securing NATO countries’ spending commitments, countering Chinese influence (no ChiCom spy balloons over secret bases this year), reducing illegal migration.
"Scott Adams. "Also in 2016, Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams shocked everyone by predicting Donald Trump would become president. Leftist outrage when he was proven right didn’t prevent the then-progressive Adams from becoming a hugely successful podcast host, even after a logical racial statement in 2023 got Dilbert canceled by every newspaper in the country. Adams’s deadpan, humorous observations on Democrat lunacy have driven them crazier, especially before and since the ’24 election. He is currently and heroically battling Stage 4 prostate cancer, and could use all our prayers."

Zeroes
Tim Walz. "The goofy, effete — but amusingly macho posturing — governor of Minnesota had an awful 2024 as Kamala Harris’s VP running mate. He’s had a much worse 2025 as reports of multi-billion-dollar Somali immigrant welfare fraud keep flooding in, though not from the mainstream media. Whatever presidential race plans he made are gone with the taxpayers’ money.
Ketanji Brown Jackson. "It was no surprise that Supreme Court Justice Jackson dissented in the August decision pausing DEI-based NIH funding (along with her two progressive sisters on the Court and the ever disappointing Chief Justice John Roberts). Without DEI, Jackson wouldn’t be on the Court. Her opinions this year were so absurd and liberal protective, even the demure Amy Coney Barrett had to mock one as “tethered neither to these sources [precedent and the Constitution] nor, frankly, to any doctrine whatsoever.”
Keir Starmer. "Great Britain declined gradually in the 20th Century (following the suicide of World War I) and rapidly in the 21st, but at warp speed in the last year under the Labour Party and its twit PM Keir Starmer. His government has been arresting or hassling citizens for such hideous offenses as citing Muslim immigrant criminality on social media — such as raping young girls — or praying outside abortion clinics. Starmer appears to be reading Orwell’s 1984 as a “How to Govern” guide.
Hollywood. "After I fulfill my contract for three Mark Slade-Neil Cork political detective thrillers (book two out in Fall 2026), I intend to write the Great Hollywood Novel. It will be an epic story of the studio years from 1927 to 1980. But a new story idea may forestall it. For a Joseph Heller-type comic novel about the once great industry’s meltdown under woke idiots with no clue about the screen art they inherited from virtue-signaling male fools. And how their diversity hiring, fantasy agenda, and contempt for their audience have collapsed the industry, especially this year. Of course, the argument against my writing this book is — they’d never make it into a movie.

40 Examples of Fake News in 2025

Issues & Insights 

'For the purpose of media accountability, Just Facts has summarized 40 misleading claims spread by journalists, commentators, and so-called fact checkers during 2025.  "Each example quotes a specific media outlet, but the vast bulk of these falsehoods and half-truths were spread by multiple news sources, and some were propagated by dozens."


Beginning with: 1: Climate Change & Biodiversity Loss, 2: Climate Change & Biodiversity Loss, 3: Obamacare for Illegal Immigrants, 4: Violent Crime in Washington, D.C., 5: Enhanced Obamacare Subsidies, 6: Motive of the Minneapolis Child Killer . . .

. . . 7: Motive of Charlie Kirk’s Assassin  "CNN’s Kaitlin Collins claimed that “law enforcement hasn’t laid out a direct motive” for the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

"In fact, the official charging document recorded that Tyler James Robinson “intentionally selected Charlie Kirk because” of his “belief or perception regarding Charlie Kirk’s political expression.”

"Moreover, the charging document detailed the following facts which specify the precise nature of Robinson’s motive:

“Robinson’s mother explained that over the last year or so, Robinson had become more political and had started to lean more to the left — becoming more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented.”

"“Police interviewed Robinson’s roommate, a biological male who was involved in a romantic relationship with Robinson.”

"Robinson texted the roommate that he killed Kirk, a leading conservative, because, “I had enough of his hatred.”

" 'Each round in the rifle contained an etched inscription,” one of which says, “Hey Fascist! Catch!”   


9: Nazis & Free Speech  "Margaret Brennan of CBS News claimed that “free speech was weaponized” in Nazi Germany to “conduct a genocide.”

"In fact, free speech was censored in Nazi Germany to conduct a genocide. In the words of Hitler’s minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, “National Socialism” (a.k.a Nazism) outlawed free speech to place itself “beyond the possibilities of criticism.”

"To drive that point home, Goebbels added that “the right to criticize” can “be granted only to the wiser people over the more stupid ones and never the other way around.”

10: Global Warming  "The New York Times claimed that the “burning of fossil fuels is dangerously heating the planet.”

"In fact, broad measures of human and environmental welfare related to global warming have remained stable or improved for the past 30–170 years, contrary to predictions that they would have radically degraded by now. These include but aren’t limited to: . . . More under Global Warming

Amazingly chaotic responses to Nick Shirley's Somali day care video expose
Minn. Somali-run daycare bizarrely says all their important documents about child care were stolen in mystery break-in https://t.co/EuXztoRdG9 pic.twitter.com/wYBuOLZfbu'     — New York Post (@nypost) December 31, 2025

. . . "Nick Shirley put out a video showing about 10 empty day care centers run by Somali migrants taking federal funds for them in Minneapolis and all hell seems to have broken loose for those on the receiving end of the expose.

"We can start with the Somali day care operators reportedly taking millions in federal funding who didn't show any kids to Shirley -- or much cohesion in their side of the story, following the multiple door-slammings in Shirley's face after he asked too many questions."...

Nick Shirley's damning YouTube video has prompted action by the HHS, the DHS, the FBI, and Congress.  . . . "Shirley visited a number of ostensible childcare facilities in Minnesota that each receive millions of dollars in government backing only to find them apparently devoid of children.
"In one instance, Shirley visited Mako Childcare — whose owner is listed as Ayan Salah — and the Mini Childcare Center, which are housed in the same facility and appear to be one and the same. According to Shirley's documentary, the two outfits are together licensed for 120 children and rake in roughly $3 million each year.
"Shirley highlighted how the windows at the location were all blacked out, there was no outside play area, and there was no evidence of any children on or around the site. Despite signage indicating that the facility is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m., the door was locked and no one responded to the doorbell.
"After visiting a number of other locations with covered windows and not a single child in sight — while allegedly being tailed by Somali malcontents — Shirley paid a visit to the Quality Learing [sic] Center.
"As Shirley knocked on the blacked-out door of the potentially fraudulent day care with the misspelled name, a woman warned those inside, "Don't open up!" . . .
Walz was thoroughly mocked and criticized online over his desperate attempt to shift blame onto Trump.

Wals calls all this "White Supremacy"

Parody: The Babylon Bee Would Like To Inform Tim Walz We Are Now A Functioning Daycare In Minnesota

Babylon Bee Parody Is that obvious enough, Greta?



"We at The Babylon Bee would like to let Governor Tim Walz know that we are now a fully functioning daycare in Minnesota serving literally millions of children.

After taking a long, hard look at our business model, we felt it financially prudent to expand beyond satire into the Minnesota daycare business, opening a very real daycare called "Lil' Bees". We are incredibly proud of the fact that after just one day in operation, Lil' Bees is taking care of four million children and serving seventy billion meals to starving kids every single day. It's not much, but we are glad to be playing our little part to serve Minnesotans.

Mr. Walz can make out the check from the state government to cover those expenses to Seth Dillon, proud owner and operator of Lil' Bees. The check will need to be mailed to a Florida address, which is standard operating procedure for Minnesota daycares.

Kids receive incredible care at Lil' Bees, where every single child receives speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and any other therapy billable to the state. Every lunch is surf and turf, costing the taxpayer $50 per meal -- but at Lil' Bees, we believe every child is worth it.

It is a privilege for Lil' Bees to join alongside Governor Walz as we work to ensure a bright future for every little Minnesotan. To help this wonderful partnership continue, please make sure the check from the state is mailed with Priority status and labeled "Attn: Seth Dillon." That part is super important. We look forward to continuing to shape the next generation at Lil' Bees, where daycare isn't just a job; it's a passion."
