Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni ruffled feathers on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women by connecting such violence with immigration.

“Now I will be called racist, but there is a higher incidence, unfortunately, in cases of sexual violence, by immigrants, especially those who enter illegally, because when you’ve got nothing things can degenerate and that can lead anywhere,” she said in an interview with Donna Moderna.

Meloni continued: “The focus here is primarily on security; the cultural dimension is less relevant. We need to ensure the presence of law enforcement, ensure that crimes are properly addressed and ensure that when someone commits a crime, they face the consequences, which is another issue we have in Italy.

“What more can be done for the training of judges and law enforcement officers who handle cases of violence against women? It’s very difficult to understand how someone reacts or might react; there’s an issue of fear, of shame, and it’s an extremely intimate sphere, so specific training is absolutely necessary,” the PM added.

She went on to note that her government had hired extra police and issued new criminal laws “to combat the rampant insecurity in our cities”.

Her coalition partner, Matteo Salvini, also referred to violence against women, posting a list of victims on his social media X page on November 25, many of whom had been killed by foreign nationals.

“Defending girls … also means recognising the inevitable and growing incidence of foreign aggressors, a worrying fact that in no way diminishes Italian cases but highlights the dangerous consequences of uncontrolled immigration, often coming from countries that do not share Western principles and values,” Salvini wrote.

“It is the moral duty of all of us to preserve and defend them at all costs, for the safety of women today and tomorrow.”

Walmart has announced it will stop selling books about transgenderism marketed towards children in a major overhaul of its diversity policies.

The company confirmed it would phase out terms such as “diversity, equity and inclusion” (DEI) in company materials.

In a major overhaul of its diversity policies, the company, which is valued at $665billion, would prohibit third-party sellers from offering LGBTQ-themed items on its website that were being marketed to transgender children.

This includes items such as chest binders and a number of educational books aimed at children.

It comes after a campaign by anti-DEI activist Robby Starbuck who celebrated the announcement on social media.

He wrote on X: “Massive news: Walmart is ending their woke policies. I can now exclusively tell you what’s changing and how it happened…Last week I told execs at Walmart that I was doing a story on wokeness there. Instead we had productive conversations to find solutions.”

Reacting to the news, X owner and controversial billionaire Elon Musk said: “The tide has turned.”

However, a Walmart spokesman said many of the changes were in the works for several years and not a result of the conversation with Starbuck.

It said it was “willing to change alongside our associates and customers who represent all of America.”

After the killing of George Floyd in 2020, Walmart’s Chief Executive Doug McMillon announced Walmart would fund the Centre for Racial Equality.

During the announcement of the funding, McMillon said: “Slavery, lynching, the concept of separate but equal and the other realities from our past have morphed into a set of systems today that are all too often, unjust.”

The Wall Street Journal reports the company will now wind-down the non-profit which supports minority-owned suppliers.

There has been backlash towards these DEI policies spearheaded by president-elect Donald Trump and his supporters, something which has only been amplified by his victory in the Presidential election.

A spokesperson from Walmart said: “We’ve been on a journey and know we aren’t perfect, but every decision comes from a place of wanting to foster a sense of belonging, to open doors to opportunities for all our associates, customers and suppliers and to be a Walmart for everyone.”

Starbuck said the company had agreed to “remove inappropriate sexual and/or transgender products marketed to children”, review all funding of Pride marches, and end racial equity training.

He had previously successfully pressured other US companies to back away from its diversity efforts, including the Tractor Supply Company, and manufacturers Ford and Deere.

A Bavarian woman who was fined €6,000 in 2023 for calling German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock a “hollow brat” on X has been acquitted after a district court trial, reigniting discussions on the use of judicial resources in handling online insults against politicians.

The woman, whose tweets included comments such as “this hollow brat is a danger to our country,” faced criminal charges filed by Baerbock herself. The tweets, one of which had only 216 views, were in response to the foreign minister’s appearance at the G20 summit.

The accused, who works with disabled children, had faced severe consequences by having a criminal conviction, prompting her to appeal despite warnings from the court that it might result in significant costs.

During the hearing on Monday, a police officer who handled the initial complaint testified. The judge proposed halting the proceedings in exchange for a €1,000 donation to a children’s charity, but the prosecutor declined, citing the Bavarian judiciary’s commitment to combating online hate speech.

The case continued, highlighting the extensive work required in such investigations, including tracking IP addresses and conducting house searches, often involving multiple officers and considerable time.

After a two-hour hearing, the judge acquitted the woman, declaring the state treasury responsible for the costs.

The case has drawn public scrutiny, with critics questioning whether the prosecution of minor online offenses justifies the heavy demand on judicial and law enforcement resources.

Defense lawyer Udo Vetter criticized the system, revealing that Germany faces over 140,000 open arrest warrants for insults against politicians. He described the strain on police and prosecutors, with routine cases requiring extensive resources better spent addressing serious crimes.

“Officers tell me that these petty cases are getting incredibly on their nerves. They say: ‘You can’t be serious! Crime is rising, and we’re wasting countless hours on this,’” he told Nius.

“Crime is getting out of hand and everything is going down the drain, and we have to spend so many, countless hours of work with such things — wasting our time,” he added.

The acquittal has been seen as a welcome dose of common sense within a nation that critics argue is becoming increasingly draconian — a trajectory fuelled primarily by politicians who attempt to censor citizens who disagree with them.

Earlier this month, Remix News reported how a 64-year-old pensioner who retweeted a meme of Green Economy Minister Robert Habeck, in which Habeck was described as an “idiot,” was arrested by Bavarian police and had his home raided.

The crime has even been recorded as a “politically motivated right-wing crime.”

Shocking story out of Germany. A Bavarian pensioner had his house raided for retweeting a meme describing a Green minister as an “idiot.” He is now facing charges for a hate crime. https://t.co/TrCTB0A7at

— Remix News & Views (@RMXnews) November 14, 2024

The man has been accused of distributing a photo of Habeck via retweet, where Habeck is described as an “idiot.”

The Bamberg prosecutor’s office claims that this constitutes a federal criminal offense of “hatred.”

This isn’t a new phenomenon, but it is becoming increasingly more frequent. In March 2022, Remix News reported how over 100 people had seen their homes raided across Germany for “insulting” politicians, with police instructed to conduct a nationwide crackdown on what they say is “hate mail” targeting those in public office.

18 days in detention and 80 hours of community service—that’s what a Dutch prosecutor finds to be a reasonable punishment for the young man who a year ago attacked Forum for Democracy (FvD) leader Thierry Baudet with a glass bottle.

The prosecution is asking for 138 days of juvenile detention, of which 120 days conditional, and 80 hours of community service for what text messages, along with the boy’s own statements, led to a charge of premeditated aggravated assault. The case against a second suspect has been dropped due to lack of evidence, Dutch media outlet NOS reports.

A mere two days before the Dutch national elections last fall, Baudet, the leader of the eurosceptic, anti-mass migration party, was speaking at a bar in the northern city of Groningen when the then-15-year-old, pretending to want a selfie with the politician, picked up a bottle and hit Baudet over the head. The Antifa group AFA Noord, present in the bar to protest Baudet’s appearance, initially claimed responsibility but later retracted their statement. 

Baudet said at the time that it was a “political attack” on his party’s beliefs:

People I represent also feel threatened to express their opinion.

A month prior, Baudet suffered a concussion after being attacked in Ghent by a Ukrainian man who struck him with an umbrella. The situation raised questions about the lack of security for the firebrand politician. That assailant was let go with a warning.

Political violence against right-wing politicians in the Netherlands should be more of a serious concern than the recent slap-on-the-wrist sentences seem to show, given the country’s history. In 2002, Pim Fortuyn, a populist anti-immigration politician, was assassinated while on the campaign trail. His assassin was sentenced to 18 years in prison but was released on parole in 2014. Last fall’s election winner and Party for Freedom leader Geert Wilders has lived under police protection for the last 20 years after a price was put on his head by Islamists.

The Groeningen court will rule on the case in two weeks. If it goes along with the prosecution, the accused will be released as he has already served the 18 days in pre-detention.

Because he criticised a judge for his lenient sentence against a Syrian rapist, the man now has to pay a fine of 5,000 euros. Unbelievable: the rapist of the 15-year-old victim only had to pay 3000 euros in compensation to his victim.

A man was ordered to pay a fine of 5000 euros because he had criticised a judge in an email as being ‘obviously mentally disturbed’. The reason for his anger: the judge had only imposed a suspended sentence on a 30-year-old Syrian man who had raped a 15-year-old girl in Osnabrück in 2022. The judge justified the lenient sentence with the perpetrator’s ‘positive development’ and the hope that he would become ‘a completely normal fellow citizen’. He also explained that the rape was ‘on the lower end’ of the scale of seriousness and that the girl would at least receive a small amount of compensation in the form of compensation for pain and suffering. The perpetrator only had to pay 3000 euros to the victim.

The current scandal surrounding the Omar Al Faruq Center in Mannheim (photo), which serves as a mosque for the Islamic Workers’ Association, which in turn is being monitored by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, shows the shamelessness with which the Islamisation of Germany is progressing in all its barbarity. The centre used a flyer to advertise a ‘girls’ evening in the mosque’. This alone is cause for concern, but the event was also explicitly aimed at ‘girls and women aged 13 and over’ and was garnished with the statement: ‘Whoever gets married has completed half of their faith’.

In other words, children were to be prepared for marriage – according to Islamic tradition with a man chosen by their own clan, usually a much older man, following the example of the Prophet Mohammed. After this became known and sparked outrage, the association deleted the flyer from its social media channels. Khalil Khalil, the spokesperson for the board of the Islamic Workers’ Association, spoke of “unfortunate wording” that had been drafted by women in the community and had not been noticed internally. The series of events, which had been organised by external experts, was supposedly about prevention. There was an immediate response to the criticism.
The construction of the mosque had already triggered massive criticism from local residents.

The mosque community has repeatedly distanced itself from Salafist and other radical ideas and has made the usual claims of openness and integration, which are known to appeal to gullible German politicians. Something similar can be witnessed in the Rödelheim district of Frankfurt. The CDU parliamentary group in Mannheim’s local council is now demanding clarification as to what consequences should be drawn from the latest incident. However, the motion will only be discussed at the next meeting of the Integration Committee on March 25 (!). The head of the Green Party parliamentary group was of course immediately placated by the statements from the Islamic Workers’ Association, after she had initially criticised the flyer.

This shows that the mosque does indeed still honour a fundamentalist ideology, even if the captious statements in the flyer were actually made by the women of the community. Even if this were true, they are certainly in the interests of the male leadership, who at best regret that the true aims of the event were communicated too openly to the outside world instead of carrying out the intended indoctrination behind closed doors. The politicians will do nothing here either and the association will continue to do its mischief – just perhaps a little more skilfully.

For a movement that claims to be all about saving the Earth, the green environmentalist globalists sure do come up with repulsive ideas.

Here’s their latest, according to the Washington Free Beacon:

A beer brewed from recycled toilet water has become a hit among attendees at the annual United Nations Climate Change Conference.

“At first their eyes widen,” Samantha Thian, a leader of Singapore’s youth delegation at the U.N. climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan, told the New York Times. “Then we reassure them. They’re usually coming back the next day for another.”

The beer, a hoppy pilsner called NEWBrew, is a collaboration between Singaporean company Brewerkz and the island country’s national water agency that aims to “draw attention to, and normalize, Singapore’s water reclamation efforts.” Singapore lacks major natural freshwater sources.

Who the heck needs this?

Like edible bugs, it’s undoubtedly expensive given all the processing it would take to make it safe to drink. And like a lot of things, they may find they made “mistakes” in establishing the purity.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to make the beer in some place where it makes sense to make beer, where beer tastes good, buying it from another country if necessary? Is there some reason there’s a need to look to the sewage stream for one’s beer? It’s like teaching a dog to dance — sure, it can be done, but why?

More to the point, the whole idea is repulsive.

Like edible bugs, the idea seems to be to degrade our life just a little more, forcing us to drink sewage instead of putting the sewage to a far more beneficial use, such as in the ground for maybe fertilizer if it’s not toxic. That’s some advertisement for the green lifestyle, except of course, they intend to impose it by force in the long run.

We like to see Klaus Schwab, the Swiss globalist who runs the World Economic Forum, take the first swig.

The green lobby, which itches for power and control over the little guy, has quite a record of making life more disgusting. From the brown fields of the Central Valley, made that way over green claims about saving a non-native fish called the delta smelt, to the bugs in wealthy schoolgirls’ foods, from cardboard box beds, to zero air conditioning, to meatless Mondays to swimming in sewage at the Olympics, the greenie left has quite a vision for humanity. If they can’t end humanity altogether, as some have called for, well, at least they make it repulsive, gaslighting the public all along.

Now they’ve literally packaged s*** … and they call it shinola.

What’s next? S*** sandwiches? How gross is too gross for them?

It all started in September last year. During a visit to the basilica, the vicar discovers a first tag, a penis drawn on the presbytery. No author is found, only a factual report. But the vandalism increases, to the point of damaging a valuable wooden Latin cross, the vertical part of which is torn off and then stolen. A few days later, excrement is found in one of the chapels of the basilica. But each time the perpetrator disappears…

Ten days ago, two young people aged 14 and 16 were caught by the sexton shouting ‘Allah Akbar’, a phrase from Islam that means ‘Allah is great’. They were arrested and taken into police custody. These riots caused concern among the basilica’s faithful, especially as the building houses the Holy Tunic, a sacred relic of Christianity, which will be put on display again next March. Several tens of thousands of believers are expected to attend this event.

Sir Keir Starmer has been left bracing for a humiliating Westminster Hall debate after more than 1.5 million people signed a petition to hold yet another General Election.

Despite going to the polls five times in the last 10 years, hundreds of thousands of voters want another election after a petition was launched accusing the Prime Minister of going back on his manifesto commitments.

Labour has come under fire for a series of measures introduced since its landslide victory on July 4, including axing Winter Fuel Payments and putting forward a £40billion tax-hiking Budget.

The number of signatures now means that MPs will likely get the opportunity to debate holding yet another General Election.

The threshold for MPs to debate the petition – 100,000 signatures – was passed within just a matter of hours, with more than 120,000 signing up in the last 60-minutes alone.

Set up by Michael Westwood, the petition reads: “I would like there to be another General Election.

“I believe the current Labour Government have gone back on the promises they laid out in the lead up to the last election.”

On holding petition debates, the Government website says: “Petitions which reach 100,000 signatures are almost always debated.

“But we may decide not to put a petition forward for debate if the issue has already been debated recently or there’s a debate scheduled for the near future.

“If that’s the case, we’ll tell you how you can find out more about parliamentary debates on the issue raised by your petition.

“MPs might consider your petition for a debate before it reaches 100,000 signatures.”

However, there is virtually no chance the petition will result in a general election.

Labour returned 411 MPs on July 4, giving Starmer an enormous super-majority.

However, the remaining rump of 121 Tory MPs and five Reform UK MPs will undoubtedly look to use the debate as an opportunity to slam Starmer with the 2025 Local Elections in the forefront of strategists’ minds.

Despite making no major difference to Starmer’s iron grip on power, the petition reflects the Prime Minister’s plummeting support in the opinion polls.

A recent More in Common survey put Labour’s support down by nine-points compared to July 4 on 25 per cent.

Kemi Badenoch’s Tories opened up a narrow three-point lead, with 28 per cent of voters now supporting the Conservative Party.

Reform UK also continues to make inroads compared to July 4 on 19 per cent, with the Liberal Democrats on 13 per cent and Green Party on eight per cent.
