The Spectator, whose headlines are lazy and terrible and an embarrassment to a once great publication, had a particularly bad example the other day:
How many more knife attacks can France take?
Well, as noted in the very first sentence of the article, there are currently 120 "knife attacks" every day in France. A generation ago it would have been inconceivable that the French would accept with a collective Gallic shrug 850 "knife attacks" per week.
Yet they do. So would they be able to "take" a thousand per week? Check back with me later this year. Fifteen hundred? Two thousand? That's the way to bet.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who should probably ask for a refund from Boston University for leading her astray on an education, slammed Elon Musk as "one of the most unintelligent billionaires" she has ever met.
AOC's comments were part of a 90-minute-long conversation with fans on Instagram.
What really launched New York's most prominent socialist into a flurry of dizzying projection are Musk's ongoing efforts to clean up an out-of-control bureaucracy through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team.
"This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met, or seen, or witnessed," she whinnied.
Two employees of the authority that manages Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport were arrested over their alleged involvement in leaking surveillance footage of last week’s deadly midair aircraft collision to CNN.
The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) staffers are accused of making an unauthorized copy of records and are facing charges of computer trespass, the agency said Monday.
The legal trouble is tied to the chilling video obtained by CNN last week that offered a horrifying new vantage point in the crash over the Potomac River, ABC News reported.
The Wednesday night collision between a Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines passenger jet killed all 67 people on both aircraft.
Interim D.C. U.S. Attorney Edward R. Martin, Jr. has made a bold move, dismissing about 30 federal prosecutors involved in the Capitol riot cases. This decision, announced on Friday, signals a significant housecleaning of the top prosecutor's office in Washington, D.C., as Martin gears up to purge partisans who weaponized the Justice Department against Joe Biden’s political enemies, including Trump, pro-life activists, and others.
But he’s also taken another bold step, effectively launching an investigation into Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer over comments he made back in March 2020 during a #MyRightMyDecision rally outside the Supreme Court. During the rally, Schumer blatantly threatened Trump-appointed Supreme Court Justices
The Democratic National Committee is getting ready to hold elections on Saturday, and a laundry list of opportunists are lining up to snag roles. One of those is David Hogg, who is running for vice chair. Ken Martin, who currently runs the Minnesota DFL, and Ben Wikler, who is chairman of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, are the frontrunners to take the top spot of chairman.
So how are things going over at the DNC? Did they learn any lessons from their embarrassing defeats in 2024? Of course, they didn't. Instead, they are doubling down on all the intersectional, woke insanity
The Federal Aviation Administration was hit with a class action lawsuit last year alleging it had denied 1,000 would-be air traffic controllers jobs because of diversity hiring targets — as it was revealed staffing levels were “not normal” at the time of this week’s deadly midair collision.
Complaints about the FAA’s hiring policies resurfaced after the American Airlines passenger plane and a Black Hawk helicopter crashed in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, killing 67 people in the country’s deadliest aviation disaster in almost a quarter century.
Details of the litigation reemerged, too, as Andrew Brigida — the lead plaintiff in the suit — suggested the federal aviation agency’s obsession with diversity hiring
Chicago mayors Brandon Johnson and Lori Lightfoot allegedly did not properly report hundreds of gifts and the inspector general’s office is recommending an overhaul to an unwritten agreement dating back to the late 80s.
The IG report, released Wednesday, has to do with city employees being tasked with reporting gifts to the Board of Ethics and the city’s comptroller.
The inspector general’s office claims hundreds of valuable gifts, dating from Feb. 1, 2022 through March 31, 2024, were accepted by Lori Lightfoot and Brandon Johnson without properly reporting them.
WGN News spoke with Inspector General Debra Witzburg and she believes the practice of not reporting gifts by the mayor’s office,
Phyllis Fong, who served as Inspector General of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) since 2002, told colleagues last week she planned to resist President Trump's order firing multiple IGs across different federal agencies.
The act of defiance did not end well. Security greeted her when she showed up to work on Monday and promptly removed her from her office.
On Wednesday, Reuters reported exclusively on the situation.
"Security agents escorted the inspector general of the U.S. Department of Agriculture out of her office on Monday after she refused to comply with her firing by the Trump administration," they relayed, citing multiple sources familiar with the matter.
A ban on numerous semiautomatic firearms — rifles and shotguns — passed the Colorado Senate Affairs Committee on Tuesday and is now headed to the Senate Floor.
The legislation is SB25-003, which targets firearms state Democrats define as a “specified semiautomatic firearm.”
SB25-003 says, in part:
The bill defines a “specified semiautomatic firearm” as a semiautomatic rifle or semiautomatic shotgun with a detachable magazine or a gas-operated semiautomatic handgun with a detachable magazine. The bill prohibits knowingly manufacturing, distributing, transferring, selling, or purchasing a specified semiautomatic firearm; except that a person may transfer a specified semiautomatic firearm to an heir,

Sen. Lindsey Graham said he doesn’t approve of President Trump’s pardoning of the Jan. 6 rioters, especially those who “beat up cops” who were defending the Capitol.
“No,” Graham said, when asked whether he’s okay with the most violent offenders on Jan. 6 getting pardoned, in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“I’ve always said that I think when you pardon people who attack police officers, you’re sending the wrong signal to the public at large, and that’s not what you want to do to protect cops,” Graham continued. “But he has that power.”
Are the L.A. wildfires — which have razed more than 38,000 acres (57 sq. miles), the equivalent of a midsize city like Minneapolis — a chance outbreak? Or is there a design behind this Firepocalypse? More specifically, is it part of a concerted attempt by the global elite to use fire, floods, and fear to push so-called “sustainable” goals for the Great Reset? [snip] Governor Gavin Newsom’s offer to waive building and environmental regulations to help rebuild after the wildfires, and L.A.’s dalliance with programs such as C40, the Livable Communities Initiative (LCI), and SmartLA2028, cast suspicion of a link to the policies of the elitist

On Sunday, a man of the cloth used the pulpit to issue a sick call of violence against his fellow man.
Dr. Steve Caudle, a pastor at Greater Second Missionary Baptist Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee, gave his weekly sermon to congregants who gathered to worship God. But Caudle had a few other things on his mind beyond spreading the Gospel.
After a brief talk regarding the Super Bowl matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, Caudle then turned his attention to his scripture lesson called “The Violent Kingdom.” He decided to use the Scripture of Matthew to blast the Trump Administration and DOGE.
Democratic Connecticut state Sen. Martin Looney proposed a bill that would require Connecticut movie theaters to publish a film’s actual start time.
Moviegoers know that times listed on movie tickets indicate when the previews begin, not the actual movie.
If passed, S.B. 797 would require theaters to publish both times on tickets.
During his campaign, Donald Trump promised to use Elon Musk to improve government efficiency, partly by ending the incredible graft and corruption permeating the bureaucracy. Since Trump’s inauguration, Musk and his youthful four-man crew, using the power of AI, have identified a host of fundamental problems in the Treasury Dept. As Musk explained: (X) To be clear, what the @DOGE team and @USTreasury have jointly agreed makes sense is the following:
- Require that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary in order to pass financial audits. This is frequently left blank, making audits almost impossible.
STUTTGART, Germany — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday while on a C-17 aircraft en route to Germany signed a memorandum renaming “Fort Liberty” back to “Fort Bragg” — the original name of the storied military base in North Carolina.
In a short video posted on X of him signing the memo, he said, “There it is. Pursuant to the authority of the Secretary of Defense, Title 10, United States Code § 113, I direct the Army to change the name of Fort Liberty, North Carolina, to Fort Bragg, North Carolina. That’s right — Bragg is back!'” (X Video) However, the name change now honors Army Private First Class
Eagles fans in Philadelphia were in true form following their team’s 40-22 win over the Chiefs to win Super Bowl 2025.
Hundreds of fans flocked to the city’s Broad Street to celebrate the franchise’s second Super Bowl title.
After the city decided to not grease the poles in the area, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, some decided to climb them, including one who sat atop a traffic light on the corner of Broad Street and Pine Street. (Videos)
Fans shot fireworks into the air and popped champagne. Others joined together to jump on top of and destroy a police van.
Some found a garbage truck to get on top of.
A contract for a pricey museum exhibit for Dr. Anthony Fauci has been canceled as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) exposes rampant waste.
DOGE, which is led by Elon Musk, made the announcement in a social media post on Friday, explaining that officials with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) made swift work of canceling millions of dollars’ worth of contracts, Fox News reported Sunday. DOGE also included details about the Fauci exhibit. “In the past 48 hours, HHS canceled 62 contract worth $182 million. These contracts were entirely for administrative expenses – none touched any healthcare programs. This included terminating a $168,000 contract
Considering they just spectacularly lost a major defamation suit, CNN has seemed remarkably unconcerned about throwing around wild accusations. On Monday’s episode of Inside Politics With Dana Bash, Bash seemingly suggested that billionaire Elon Musk had made his money through illegal means, though she never provided evidence. She also lashed out at President Trump’s voters, calling them “the problem.”
Bash summed up what has always been CNN’s transparent view of Trump when she said that what we “cannot lose sight of,” is that the President had a “history” of “being litigious, slowing things down
Elon Musk reported early Monday morning that FEMA sent $59 million just last week to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants.
According to Musk, sending this money to these high-end hotels violated the law. This directly interferes with President Trump’s executive order.
And why is FEMA paying for illegal alien housing when they ignore Americans suffering and living in tents in places like North Carolina?
FEMA funds are meant for American disaster relief and not to fund Joe Biden’s invasion.
Interference in another country's internal affairs?
Sure, if you're the Vatican, or more specifically, the Vatican's big umbrella NGO of NGOs known as Caritas, whose U.S. arms include Catholic Charities and Catholic Relief Services.
According to the Associated Press:
VATICAN CITY -- The Vatican's charity said Monday that U.S. plans to gut USAID were “reckless” and could kill millions, while Pope Francis’ point man on development urged the Trump administration to remember Christian principles about caring for others.
Cardinal Michael Czerny, a Czech-born Canadian Jesuit, is one of the cardinals most closely associated with Francis’ pontificate and heads the Vatican office responsible for migrants, the environment, the church’s Caritas Internationalis charity and development.
The FBI has uncovered 2,400 new records about President John F. Kennedy’s assassination following President Trump’s order to release the secret files, according to reports.
Those documents contain about 14,000 pages worth of material that a disclosure board was supposed to review but never saw, Axios reported Monday.
The White House learned about the never-before-reviewed documents on Friday as the Office of the Director of National Intelligence presented its plan to disclose the remaining documents.

“Sometimes the Devil will act so ugly that you have no other choice but to get violent and fight."
Those are the chilling words of a senior pastor at Greater Second Missionary Baptist Church of Chattanooga, Tennessee, during a Sunday School morning service. The pastor, Reverend Dr. Steve A. Caudle, likened Elon Musk, President Donald Trump's head of the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), to the Devil, as he spewed lie after lie about DOGE — and appeared to urge people to "get violent and fight." How pastoral. (X Video)
Chelsea Clinton claims that 'misinformation' has been weaponized against her after claims she was gifted $84million from the under fire United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
Elon Musk and President Donald Trump have attempted to shut down the embattled government agency tasked with humanitarian relief overseas after they agreed the organization was 'beyond repair' and wasting billions.
The billionaire 'first buddy' led a civilian review of the federal government with Trump's go-ahead and decided this week to shut down the agency.
