ROBERT SPENCER: All It Took Was a Single Non-Woke Word for This Man’s Life’s Work to Come to the Brink of Ruin. “A Danish man spent years building a clothing company. Over the years, he fashioned, through hard work, careful study, trial and error, attention to trends, and sheer perseverance, a popular clothing brand. In the last few days, however, he has come to the brink of ruin, and of seeing all his labors come to naught.”

Footage on Sky News showed infants being carried out of neighbouring homes as flames crackled inside the houses, while a pastor told the BBC people were being forced out of their homes “because they’re black”.
Protesters also attempted to set the Sham Supermarket, a Middle Eastern shop, alight on Donegal Road, just south of the city centre.
Several vehicles, including a police vehicle and a Glider bus on the Newtownards Road, were set on fire in the east of the city earlier in the evening.
The violence was widely condemned across the political spectrum.
Michelle O’Neill, Northern Ireland’s Sinn Fein First Minister, said the burning of homes amounted to “outright thuggery” while Arlene Foster, her DUP predecessor, said she watched the unfolding scenes “with great sadness”.
For O’Neill, some riots are far more acceptable than others:
THIS IS HARDLY SHOCKING: Germany, France scrap joint fighter jet program.
The Future Combat Air System (FCAS) program, launched in 2017, aimed to build a next-generation fighter to replace Eurofighters and Rafales by around 2040.
The move to scrap one of Europe’s largest defense projects comes as Western military officials warn of a mounting threat from Russia and the United States intensifies pressure on Europe to take care of its own defense.
The more than €100 billion ($115 billion) project, launched in 2017, was once billed as a symbol of Franco-German military unity.
But it has been plagued by years of political and industrial disputes.
French arms giant Dassault Aviation has demanded significantly more control over the project than its industry partner, European consortium Airbus Defence and Space.
The two companies clashed over control of the project’s next phase, access to intellectual property and, above all, differing requirements for the aircraft.
Why can’t Germany and France just get along like they used to in the olden days?

It’s 1618. Do you know where your historian is?
Retirement wasn’t supposed to have dragons….
Historian Jason Finn crossed the planet to escape the Black Dog of depression – and almost got there. Over the mountains of Korea, a monster out of nightmares tore his plane from the sky… and into another world.
Hunting down ravenous shapeshifting pirates, Night Magistrate Lee Cheong found survivors from elsewhere. Survivors who say pirates are not the only threat. Over twenty years ago Hanyang burned in dragon flames… and that monster still lives.
Now the young magistrate must lead demon-hunters on a desperate chase, aided by a bandit sharpshooter, a seafolk medic, a Heavenly cultivator on the run for her life… and a time-lost historian.
Jason’s willing to help, but he’s cursed, fighting to survive, and struggling to understand a land of magic and monsters. All the while doing his best to keep a teenage girl alive.
Upside? Jason’s definitely not depressed….

BREAKING: We Have the Verdict in the Karmelo Anthony Murder Trial.
A Collin County jury has delivered its verdict in the trial of Karmelo Anthony, who faced murder charges for fatally stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas, on April 2, 2025. Now he knows his fate.
The jury found Karmelo Anthony guilty of murder.
The facts of this case were never particularly complicated. Anthony, also 17 at the time, wandered under a tent belonging to Memorial High School during a rainy multi-school track meet at Kuykendall Stadium. He had no business being there. Multiple student athletes asked him to leave multiple times.
Anthony reportedly told students, “Touch me, and you’ll find out,” and “If you want me to move, you have to move me.”
Austin Metcalf, by contrast, told him, “I’m not going to fight you at a track meet.” Multiple witnesses testified that Metcalf had no interest in a physical confrontation. At least one witness said Anthony appeared to be “looking for a fight.” Throughout the exchange, Anthony kept one hand inside his backpack. Some students thought he was bluffing. He wasn’t.
Prosecutors called 21 witnesses who built a clear picture: Anthony escalated a verbal dispute into a deadly encounter by pulling a knife from his backpack and driving it into Austin Metcalf’s chest. After the stabbing, Anthony told a police officer, “I’m not alleged, I did it. He put his hands on me. I told him not to.”
The defense bizarrely tried to spin all of that as self-defense, essentially asking jurors to believe that a teenager who invited physical contact with “touch me and you’ll find out” and had brought a knife with him was somehow the victim.
Summer riot season to commence shortly?

UPDATE: “The jury sentenced Anthony to 35 years in prison. He will be eligible for parole after half that time is served.”
There was an audible gasp from several people in the courtroom after the 35 years were announced.
