Amnesty’s approach in the Rowling affair followed the familiar NGO playbook that has allowed human-rights organisations to survive crises for decades to preserve their moral authority and avoid meaningful accountability. First, downplay the incident by framing it as a regrettable breakdown in an otherwise scrupulous system; second, promise an investigation; third, wait for the news cycle to move on. But maybe that won’t work this time. Is it too much to hope that Rowling’s stand-off with Amnesty will finally produce a reckoning for an increasingly unaccountable sector?

A realist might well conclude that there is almost no chance of that. Organisations like Amnesty International—which command budgets that run into hundreds of millions, and even billions, of US dollars—have spent decades surviving controversies and evading scrutiny, even though they exert enormous political and cultural influence. An optimist, on the other hand, might point out that history has a habit of stripping moral halos from individuals and institutions (like the Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts of America) that were once thought beyond reproach. The wheels of accountability may turn slowly, but turn they do.

France’s lifeboat service has warned there is “no limit” to the number of migrants people smugglers will put on a boat to Britain.

And of course the French aren’t doing a damned thing about it.

The French national sea rescue service (SNSM), equivalent to the RNLI, warned it was seeing “more and more” large boats ferrying hundreds of migrants across the Channel.

On Monday morning, a record 230 asylum seekers arrived in Britain after travelling on a single 15-metre-long (49ft) vessel from near Berck-sur-Mer, Normandy.

This is essentially an act of war. Why is Britain not holding France to account for this?

But according to one researcher, clear patterns emerge when you look at why women decide to freeze their eggs. And no, it’s not because they are all trying to “girl boss” their way to the corner office and don’t want to risk the distraction of babies.

Yale University professor Marcia Inhorn, who focuses on anthropology and international affairs, conducted a study of 114 women who chose to freeze their eggs for her 2023 book “Motherhood on Ice: The Mating Gap and Why Women Freeze Their Eggs.”

Of those 114 women, exactly one did it “specifically for career-planning purposes,” writes Inhorn.

Instead, “[d]espair, or the loss and absence of hope, is a running theme in many women’s egg freezing stories.” Women who choose to freeze their eggs are largely not doing it because their first choice is to have kids later in life.

Inhorn writes that “heterosexual relationship troubles” are the driving force behind egg freezing, and that the “vast majority of women I interviewed found themselves in their late thirties without partners.”

These women spent their lives becoming the men they were looking for, none of whom wanted to marry a quasi-man, and so in their thirties they hit the wall … and their biological clock kept tick tick ticking away.

Of course, as with all such articles, It’s All The Men’s Fault:

Obviously, many women want kids, but life isn’t working out as they hoped it would. Rather than focusing on egg freezing, we’d be better served by creating a culture that encourages men to become great husbands and dads and embrace raising families.

No, what we need are women who aren’t focused on being a professional Boss Babe and are willing to become the sort of women men are willing to marry. “Where are all the good men?” they cry; to which the answer is “Back in your twenties where you left them.” Men who want marriage and children aren’t going to be interested in starting that process with a woman in her thirties, much less her forties.

Senate candidate James Talarico announced on Monday morning that he would be following in the inspiring footsteps of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and electing to have his eggs frozen.

An elite police unit set up by the Labour government has already flagged more than 100 social media posts to local forces, monitoring online “protest related activity” in a move critics brand a sinister step toward state control of speech.

The National Internet Intelligence Investigations team, created in the wake of the 2024 Southport riots, began operations in February. Freedom of Information figures obtained by the Telegraph and reported today show it has made 106 referrals of “suspicious” posts to forces across the country.

A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced a federal legislation Thursday in the House and Senate aimed at protecting houses of worship from disruptive demonstrations, following a series of protests outside of synagogues this year.

The Right to Worship Act was introduced by Sens. Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican, and Elissa Slotkin, a Michigan Democrat, alongside Reps. Brad Knott, a North Carolina Republican, and Tom Suozzi, a New York Democrat. It would establish a 100-foot “buffer zone” around houses of worship during religious services — mirroring similar legislation recently enacted in New York.

“The First Amendment guarantees every American the right to freely exercise their faith, and Congress has a duty to ensure that guarantee is met,” Cruz said in a statement Thursday.

The legislation would also establish civil penalties for offenders and provide pathways for individuals, including state attorneys, to seek court orders and damages in federal court. While the legislation would target protesters who knowingly disrupt scheduled religious services, houses of worship would not be required to make their schedules public.

The bill’s sponsors say the measure is aimed at conduct rather than the content of protesters’ speech.

*sigh* Protesters (mostly leftists) aren’t going to care about this law any more than criminals care about gun control laws. LAWS ONLY AFFECT THE ALREADY-LAW-ABIDING, and those aren’t the people causing the problem. This is nothing more than politicians virtue-signaling. s

Nearly all Jewish students surveyed on Canadian university campuses said they have experienced or witnessed antisemitism, according to a new government-commissioned report.

The survey from the Department of Canadian Heritage found that 95.7% of Jewish students said they were exposed to antisemitism, with 70% saying their university did not take antisemitism seriously and 22% reporting physical violence against Jews.

“Antisemitism on Canadian campuses is neither isolated nor episodic,” said Jack Jedwab, the report’s main author, at a press conference in Ottawa on Wednesday. “It can reasonably be described as systemic.”

The surveyed students anonymously detailed rhetoric, discriminatory treatment, vandalism, intimidation and physical attacks from their classmates as well as professors and administrators. Some 45% said they experienced Holocaust denial or distortion often or sometimes, and 65% said they encountered it “at least rarely.”

One respondent said they had witnessed a friend who wears a kippah being chased out of a school building by a group of students who shouted, “There is a Jew … let’s get him.”

As long as Jews keep voting for socialists, they’re going to have this problem. When are they going to realize that the only real difference between Socialists and National Socialists is the color of their uniforms?

Members of Britain’s notorious grooming gangs could be released after serving only half their prison sentences because of a loophole in the Labour government’s early-release scheme.

The Times reports that several men convicted of sexually abusing vulnerable girls may qualify despite Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s promise to exclude grooming offences from the policy.

The loophole applies to crimes committed before specific anti-grooming laws were introduced in 2003. Because the perpetrators were prosecuted under older offences such as indecent assault, they fall outside the government’s exemptions.

Among those who could benefit are Mohammed Imran Akram, Safraz Ahmed Latif, Wajid Hussain, Mohammed Naheem, and Nadeem Ali. The five men were jailed last year for abusing a Bradford girl from the age of 13 while she was in care.

They received sentences of between six and eight years—a combined total of 35 years—but some could now be released by the end of 2028.

Prof Jason Arday has resigned from the University of Cambridge after The Telegraph revealed he falsely claimed to have published a book.

In a statement on Wednesday evening, Prof Arday said he was stepping down “with immediate effect” from his position at the university and at Jesus College citing the “unrelenting level of public scrutiny”.

It came hours after the university announced it was investigating him following new information regarding his “academic qualifications and honorary appointments”.

Prof Arday, who was a professor of sociology of education, has been at the centre of a plagiarism row after The Telegraph reported accusations he had copied parts of his PhD thesis from another student.

Earlier on Wednesday, The Telegraph also revealed that Prof Arday had repeatedly claimed that he was the author of a book called Being Young, Black and Male: Challenging the Dominant Discourse.

The book was listed in his biography description in published essays as well as in promotional material for speaking events, and was attributed to the Palgrave Macmillan publishing house.

There is no evidence that any book was written or published.

Pedro Sánchez is reportedly preparing to summon three senior ministers for crisis talks as a damaging row over whether his government ignored advance warnings of the mass breach of Spain’s border at Ceuta deepened on Wednesday.

The Spanish prime minister is expected to meet Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska, Defence Minister Margarita Robles and Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares at La Mareta, the state residence in Lanzarote where he is spending his summer holiday, according to La Razón.

The meeting comes amid growing tensions between the Interior and Defence ministries over what the National Intelligence Centre (CNI) knew before tens of thousands of migrants entered Ceuta, a Spanish territory in North Africa bordering Morocco, last week.

CNI sources told La Razón that the interior ministry was warned “with sufficient time” and that intelligence notes had been prepared. The agency reportedly identified several WhatsApp groups promoting the crossing by July 22—eight days before the influx began—including one named “Crossing to Ceuta or death.”

Miami has already outsold Manhattan in ultra-luxury deals this year as buyers reconsider New York investments

Homeowners across New York City now have an extra month to prove their primary residency and avoid Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new pied-à-terre tax, an extension triggered by mass confusion over a publicly posted tax roll.

But as the city tries to address problems with the rollout, real estate leaders caution that targeting high earners could ultimately backfire on working-class New Yorkers if revenue shifts out of state.

“Policymakers need to be honest about the trade-offs and what drives the local economy,” Aria Development Group founding partner David Arditi told Fox News Digital, warning that if high-earning taxpayers leave, “it doesn’t just hit the people who left, it shows up much more prominently in the budget of those who will stay behind.”

“Every city that leans this heavily on a small group of high earners has to reckon eventually with this possibility. New York still continues to have real staying power, but we’re clearly in a moment where that’s being tested,” he continued.

Search and rescue services were launched at around 6am on Tuesday after the vessel’s engine went up in flames in French waters.

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) Eastbourne was deployed alongside both the British and French coastguards as part of a rescue operation to retrieve the migrants and return them to France.

It is understood that up to 160 people were on board the dinghy, it is not yet known whether any of those on board have been injured or killed.

The average number of people per small boat has increased from seven in 2018 to 63 in the year ending this March, and up to 70 last month.

Steve Wynn has finally unloaded his jaw-dropping Beverly Hills megamansion, “Villa Lulu” — and the house definitely did not win this time.

The 84-year-old former casino head honcho just cashed out on his 27,150-square-foot Benedict Canyon estate for a final price of $47.75 million, listing broker Leonard Rabinowitz of Christie’s International Real Estate told The Post.

While that sum sounds like he hit the jackpot, for Wynn, it’s a bust.

The 11-bedroom, 14.5-bath castle with multiple kitchens, initially had an eye-watering $135 million whisper price in 2020.

Rabinowitz blamed the pricing situation on California’s tax rate and tax on billionaires, which is causing residents to flee the Golden State for places like Florida and Texas.

A clear pattern is emerging: When the political left or their favorite pet migrants wreak havoc and commit heinous crimes, the immediate canned response from the activist fold is to blame the “right wing” or blame those devious Israelis. Why do they do this? Because it works.

Progressive politicians and third world invaders always seem to dodge accountability while conservative movements in-fight over the source of the problem.

There a people on both sides of the aisle that maintain a distaste for Israel, sometimes to the point that they attribute almost godlike abilities to the Israeli government. They seem to be downright omnipresent; everywhere all at once and always ten steps ahead. It’s positively astounding.

Strategists within leftist and elitist movements understand very well that many conservatives and independents are suspicious of Israeli influence and they use this built-in paranoia as a weapon to divert attention away from their own machinations. While there are plenty of valid criticisms to be made against Israel, some claims dive deep into the absurd.

For example, the political left is spreading a new narrative across social media asserting that the migrant invasion of Spain’s Ceuta enclave is part of a vast US/Israeli conspiracy to destroy the country. In other words, they believe that tens-of-thousands of Muslim migrants are taking marching orders from a Jewish-run government.

Truly, this is an unprecedented level of progress in Islamic/Israeli relations.

One of the things that is perplexing and often a topic of conversation is this new American-Western European alliance or absorption of Islam and Marxism-socialism-communism. In other words, people who identify as radical Muslims, often in their alliance, include people who are traditional Western Marxists, and it doesn’t seem possible for a variety of ways.

There’s a lot of antitheses. Do we really believe that these upscale people in blue enclaves in the United States who declare themselves socialist and are voting for people like Zohran Mamdani, or Ilhan Omar, or Rashida Tlaib, who are proud, and active, and often fervent Muslims, tolerate gays? Do you really believe if you said, “I am gay, and I’m proud of it, and I want to announce that in Saudi Arabia,” you wouldn’t be in trouble?

Do you really believe that if you went to Iran and said, “I want to repeal all the sodomy laws,” you wouldn’t be in trouble?

Or if you went, let’s say, to Egypt and you said, “I wanna have a trans, sexual support group,” you wouldn’t be in trouble? Do you really believe that upscale, independent women in Western cities, maybe unmarried, professional, doesn’t that bother them a little bit when they ally themselves with radical Muslims who tell them that, as far as men go, their dream is going to an Islamic heaven and having the sexual use as if they’re almost tools of 72 virgins?

A criminal investigation into UK Green Party leader Zack Polanski was dropped by London’s Metropolitan Police on Wednesday, July 29th, sparking another row over ‘two-tier policing.’

The row began when 20 images were shared on one of eco-zealot Polanski’s official social media accounts. One featured a photo of a Bristol activist wearing a T-shirt depicting a guillotine and the words “We’re only making plans for Nigel.” Reform UK leader Nigel Farage reported the post to police, arguing that it amounted to incitement.

Farage has recently drawn attention to the large number of death threats he receives, particularly since the killing of his colleague Ann Widdecombe. There may be a free speech argument for allowing the image to be shared—even with Polanski’s 713,000 Instagram followers—but Reform officials are understandably nervous. On Wednesday, Farage said that Polanski, as a political leader with a large following,

cannot put out on his social media the image that he did, my name, the guillotine, without some consequences.

However, the Met concluded that sharing the image did not meet the threshold for incitement. Avon and Somerset Police, which examined the conduct of the person wearing the T-shirt because the photograph was taken in its area, also found that “the threshold for a criminal offence has not been met”:

“Yes, you read that right,” enthuses California journalist Joe Mathews. “Morocco has high-speed rail. And California has excuses.”

At first glance, Morocco’s high-speed train, known as Al Boraq (“the lightning”), sounds pretty amazing. It goes up to 200 miles per hour. Costing just $10 million per mile, it cut the travel time between Casablanca and Tangier from 4-3/4 hours to 2-1/4 hours.

Up close, it isn’t quite as amazing. While the route is 201 miles, only 116 miles were built new; the other 85 miles was existing track whose top speed is 100 miles per hour. Still, that’s no more than $18 million a mile for the new construction. The average speed from Casablanca to Tangier is about 88 miles an hour, indicating that not many miles reach the top speed of 200 miles per hour.

The American Spectator is having a bit of fun with another mournful essay by Sally Quinn about the assault on Washington establishment sensibilities by the MAGA hordes in power in DC. She writes:

The worst part about living in Donald Trump’s Washington has been seeing just how much fun he and all the MAGA vandals he brought to power have been having sacking and pillaging the place. This while the rest of us longtime Washingtonians who abided by norms, shared values and even bipartisanship were filled first with shock, then a feeling of helplessness, and hopelessness. It could border on passivity. What could be done?

It is actually a tonal improvement on her abject terror expressed the year before.,

Sally Quinn is a dinosaur.

Homes belonging to supporters of a planned asylum centre have been vandalised in the Dutch villages of Engelen and Bokhoven, marking the latest escalation in a dispute that has already involved demonstrations, a motorway blockade and an explosion.

Police said homes, fences and other properties had been spray-painted with slogans including “AMV nee” and “POA,” as well as crude insults. AMV is the Dutch abbreviation for unaccompanied minor foreign nationals, while POA refers to a reception facility used during the asylum process.

Several complaints have been filed, and officers are working to determine how many properties were damaged. Police are conducting house-to-house inquiries, seeking CCTV footage and increasing patrols in Engelen and Bokhoven.

The vandalism is believed to be connected to plans announced by the municipality of Den Bosch in early April to accommodate 50 unaccompanied asylum seekers aged between 15 and 18.

The assassinations of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and insurance executive Brian Thompson, the murder of a Jewish couple outside the Capital Jewish Museum, the latest (as of this writing) attempt on the life of Donald Trump—these are some recent examples of serious violence in the name of left-wing causes. Others include the spate of bombing and shooting attacks against ICE facilities, and, going further back, the deadly and destructive riots of 2020.

Noah Rothman’s Blood and Progress: A Century of Left-Wing Violence in America aims to “confront its readers” with “the quickening tempo of left-led attacks and their political motives,” as well as with the ways in which such violence is often forgotten or justified.

Rothman opens the book with recent examples like the Kirk assassination, then goes back in time to consider waves of leftist violence since the early 20th century. It thus proceeds from the anarchists of the 1910s to the Marxian terrorists of the 1970s, on up through violent offshoots of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) and pro-Palestinian movements.

Is “suicidal empathy” the real cause of the western world’s immigration crisis? Or, is the political left completely devoid of empathy? Is the multicultural agenda so important to them that they’re willing to sacrifice their own people to protect it?

Leftists envision a sweeping coalition of socialist and minority groups joining forces to destroy the “evil colonial west”, but they seem to be ignoring the fact that foreign elements entering Europe and the US hate liberals as much as they hate conservatives.

This might not be stupidity – it might be a calculated risk on the part of woke leaders who are happy to throw a few of their “comrades” to the third world wolves in the service of the “greater good.” A common tactic of Antifa and related organizations in the face of a terror attack or criminal event that makes them look bad is to counter by diverting the public discourse.

In most states the jury duty summons process comes from registered voter rolls. As a consequence, when a person is called for jury duty and is then disqualified as a non-citizen, we have another way to judge the scale of non-citizens on the voter rolls.

The disqualification records, “non-juror” lists are public records in many states and counties. These reviews are turning up tens-of-thousands of non-citizens who are on juror lists, which means they are also on voter rolls.
