Even Bill Maher has finally had enough. The longtime left-leaning comedian used his HBO platform to deliver a blunt message that cuts through years of open-borders ideology: if you want the American dream, you take American values with it. No exceptions. No special pleading. And no, it's not "racist" to say so.

Ona recent episode of Real Time, Maher laid out a straightforward standard that should never have become controversial. Immigrants are not free to reject the foundation of the country they chose to enter.

"If you want the American dream, you have to take the American values," he said. "But you have to answer one question: Do you like Western civilization? Because that's what we are. And that's not negotiable."

Maher was careful to note that while some immigrants still seek to assimilate, the problem is a growing contingent that treats the melting pot with open contempt. "Melting pot? F— you, you melt," was how he characterized the new attitude. 

He listed practices that remain firmly off-limits: honor killings, forcing women to cover their faces,

Residents of a quiet North Wales seaside village of just 1,600 people have forced the Home Office to pause its secretive scheme to house asylum seekers in newly converted homes on the site of their old village hall. 

The government claims it is "listening" after blacked-out vehicles and bunk beds arrived without warning.

But the same pattern of imposition continues elsewhere, even as a wave of migrant-linked violence claims more British victims.

In Gronant, Flintshire, the former Gronant Institute had been turned into 15 new-build properties. Locals were led to believe these would become homes for local families or go on the open market. 

Instead, 13 were earmarked for Clear Springs Ready Homes, the Home Office contractor. One family was moved in before being shifted out amid the backlash. 

Clwyd East MP Becky Gittins secured a pause after meeting officials. No further arrivals are currently taking place while the situation is reviewed.

A council litter officer simply doing his job ended up on the receiving end of screamed racial abuse and a wooden pole smashed over his head hard enough to shatter it. 

The attackers walked away with suspended sentences. Bodycam footage of the entire attack has been recirculating this week, and the reaction is pure fury at a justice system that has lost the confidence of ordinary people.

In August 2020 a litter enforcement officer working for Dudley Council spotted women flicking cigarette butts from a car window in Kates Hill. He later approached the vehicle when it was parked in Jasmine Street to issue fines. 

Raja Malik, then 30, emerged from a house and confronted him. Malik argued that "everybody throws cigarettes. Where does it say you can't throw cigarettes outside?" and "everyone chucks cigarette butts…I've done it." 

The exchange rapidly turned racial. Malik screamed "Get the f*** off my property you white mother f*****" and threatened "You call police and I'll f***ing take your head off."

Mohammed Nawaz, then 50, joined in. He squared

I ask this because of a recent email exchange with a person of considerable significance to me, who has wondered whether my opposition to climate catastrophism, and the anger I feel at the damage it is doing to our societies, have so obsessed me that I have become slightly detached from reality. It's a good question.

Just as even paranoiacs can have enemies, so not every conspiracy theory is false. To give one recent example that less disagreeable people than I would prefer to forget: in the early weeks of the Covid epidemic, the idea that it resulted from a leak in a Wuhan lab engaged in gain-of-function research was dismissed as 'conspiracy theory', with an extra topping of 'raycism' thrown in for good measure.

Half a decade on, nobody of any consequence seriously doubts the lab-leak theory of Covid's origin, and Anthony Fauci, who acted as the high priest of Covid hysteria, finds himself in contempt of Congress after

Last week we heard that US sailors and Marines aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln and other ships in the Middle East were being fed food that, from photos that surfaced in the media, looked worse than what you would feed a dog.

Parents and spouses of service members risked disciplinary action against their loved ones to highlight to the US Navy Secretary and to the media the revolting conditions aboard the carrier, which has been at sea with no port of call for a record period of time.

Stories of broken toilets, filth, and mold everywhere were reported in the media last week. One troubling story in the Guardian claimed that multiple sailors aboard the Lincoln have attempted suicide due to the unbearable conditions aboard the carrier.

The Trump Administration's response speaks volumes about its claim to "support the troops." Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth immediately brushed off concerns about conditions aboard

Nearly 14 years before COVID-19, HHS created the Public Health Emergency Medical Countermeasures Enterprise (PHEMCE) and centralized federal health, biomedical, regulatory, homeland-security, and military functions around a government-directed countermeasure pipeline.

Creating what this website refers to as the Pandemic-Industrial Complex (PIC).

PHEMCE centralized seven named federal agencies and components (ASPR, CDC, FDA, NIH, DOD, DHS, and VA) across four Cabinet departments: HHS, DOD, DHS, and VA.

Private industry was explicitly inserted into that structure.

Building on our February theme that physical AI and humanoid robots would move beyond factory floors and folding laundry in homes into conflict zones and other high-risk environments, US-based Foundation Robotics is now discussing potential national-security deployments of its Phantom humanoid robot along the southern border.

Fox News reporters spoke with CEO Sankaet Pathak, who said the U.S.-based startup, which develops humanoid robots for industrial and military applications, has already demonstrated the capabilities of its Phantom MK1 robots to the Department of Homeland Security for border deployment.

“We’re in conversations with almost all national security government bodies, so Air Force, Navy, Army, DHS,” Pathak said. “We continue to have dialogues. We’re starting to negotiate contracts and some applications for them.”

Pathak said Phantom MK1 is designed to navigate rugged terrain that can be difficult for vehicles, drones and fixed cameras. He said potential deployment missions could

A 26-year-old Ghanaian migrant stalked and attacked women across Oklahoma City over a two-week span in August, getting arrested three times for sexual battery before firefighters witnessed him trying to rape a fourth woman on a public trail and held him for police.

Jeff Kufi (Kofi) Asare was booked on a first-degree rape charge with a $75,000 bond. The Oklahoma County District Attorney's office is pushing to raise that bond because of the rapid series of alleged assaults. 

Court records show at least 19 criminal felony and misdemeanor charges filed against him since August 2023, with more than 20 arrests stretching back to 2022 for larceny, trespass, obstruction, injuring an officer, and breaking and entering.

Why is this guy still in the country?

On August 1 near Northwest 23rd Street and Classen Boulevard, police responded to a possible rape. Asare allegedly pushed a woman against a bus stop window and put his hands down her pants. 

The same day a second woman reported he came up behind her on Classen Boulevard,

Cambridge City Council in the UK has spent nearly £1 million on a new public toilet block that includes squat-style facilities explicitly preferred by some foreign visitors. To make matters worse, they’re asking anyone who chooses to squat and shit in a hole in the ground to pay £1 for the privilege.

This is not progress. It is regression dressed up as inclusivity. Britain invented the modern flushing toilet. Victorian engineers perfected sanitation systems that lifted entire populations out of filth and disease.

Now a Labour-run council in one of the country's most historic university cities has decided that the way forward is to install the very facilities associated with places that never made that leap—or chose not to keep it.

The new block on Silver Street, opposite Queens' College and near the Mathematical Bridge, replaced a flood-prone 1980s facility next to the River Cam. Alongside standard toilets, wheelchair-accessible facilities and baby-changing, the council installed three squat-style flushing toilets.

Cambridge City Council's own statement is clear: these are "preferred by some international visitors."

Health sources have confirmed that Ceuta University Hospital has treated at least five girls over the past week for alleged rapes following the mass migrant invasion of Ceuta last month.

All the girls are Moroccan and were reportedly under the age of 14 when they were raped, with an emergency doctor verifying the cases and noting that many of these minors are sleeping on the street because of a shortage of places in shelters.

Susana Ascaso, an emergency-room doctor at Ceuta University Hospital, confirmed in an interview published by the Spanish outlet El pueblo de Ceuta that her service is dealing with cases of rape involving migrant girls.

She described the victims as 14-year-old minors who remain on the street because reception centers for minors have no available places.
