The media keeps asking the same question: Why would a non-White immigrant vote for a political party that wants to cut immigration? As though the answer is somehow impossible to understand.
It isn’t.
Plenty of migrants didn’t come to the West simply to live among different people on different soil. They came because they saw something here that was worth leaving home for. They saw what generations of Westerners had built—its culture, freedoms, institutions, traditions and way of life—and wanted to become part of it.
There was something here they valued more than what they had left behind. That should be obvious. Otherwise, they would have stayed where they were.
For some immigrants, then, immigration isn’t merely about changing countries. It is about changing the way they live. They don’t want to see the culture, freedoms and traditions that attracted them to the West diluted any more than Westerners do.
And why would they?
Why endure the enormous upheaval of leaving your home, your people, your language, your culture and your traditions—only to watch your new country gradually become more like the one you left behind?
The idea that an immigrant must automatically support mass immigration assumes that immigrants have no attachment to the society they deliberately chose to join.
But some came precisely because they didn’t want the West to become like the places they left.
So the question isn’t, “Why would an immigrant vote for a party that wants less immigration?”
The question is, Why would anyone assume that every immigrant who chose the West must want to see the West changed into something else?
The answer to the first question is so obvious; you’d have to be part of the media class to miss it.

Mohammad Hamed Alshaer, who was born in Libya, has been charged with aggravated rape of a woman in her fifties while she was jogging along Ribersborgsstigen in Malmö on July 15.
According to the indictment submitted to Malmö District Court, the 37-year-old Alshaer struck the woman from behind, knocked her over, and dragged her into the bushes. There, he grabbed her neck and mouth, pulled her by the hair, and raped her vaginally and anally. The prosecutor wants the crime classified as rape with particular cruelty, citing exceptional violence, ruthlessness, and brutality.
Witnesses heard screams and thuds and alerted police. Officers arriving at the scene found a man lying half-undressed on top of a woman who was screaming for help.
The woman later told investigators she tried to wriggle free.
“I thought: I don’t accept this. I don’t give up,” she said, according to Swedish public broadcaster SVT. However, SVT and other Swedish outlets did not publish the suspect’s Libyan background and other key details, such as his name. Samnytt has reported on this information.
Alshaer has described the incident in terms similar to the woman’s account, with one major difference: he says the woman “inspired him” to have sex with her. He told police he had not had sex in several years and decided to “give her love.” After his arrest, he reportedly told officers he realized what he had done was wrong, yet he still denied the rape in court.
Alshaer, a Swedish citizen originally from Libya, has a prior conviction that includes sexual assault in a nightclub. However, since he holds Swedish citizenship, he cannot be deported. Despite obtaining citizenship, he requires an Arabic interpreter in court.
He is also charged with violent resistance and minor drug offenses. He denies the rape and the resistance charge but admits to the drug offense.

After receiving new documents, three House Republican-led committees released an updated report on the investigation into the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue.
The Report: The new report released on Wednesday accused ActBlue of covering up fraudulent political donations and lying to Congress about its security policies. The report said that "ActBlue, in its own words, decided to take 'a more lenient approach' to fraud prevention in 2024," and "internal trainings directed ActBlue's fraud prevention team to 'look for reasons to accept contributions' rather than to examine them closely for indicators of fraud." The report also alleged that ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones misled Congress, and that the company appeared to be "knowing and willful in accepting foreign contributions." The report also highlighted internal ActBlue email and Slack communications that allegedly show the organization engaged in whistleblower retaliation.

"Should Send Shockwaves": Townhall (Right bias) highlighted recent reporting that showed "an elderly Michigan woman made 15,000 donations totaling more than $150,000 to various candidates," adding that the "woman — who lives in a trailer on a fixed income — denied making those donations." The findings of the report, according to Townhall, raise questions over "How much questionable money made it through" and "who will be held accountable," adding that the "report should send shockwaves through the Democrat Party."
"Escalating Efforts": AllSides did not find any outlet from the left covering the report. However, The Washington Post (Lean Left) published an article the same day the report was released highlighting a law firm representing ActBlue presenting evidence to congressional investigators to show that the platform did not mislead Congress. The article said that the platform "has been embroiled in years of GOP investigations" and "is escalating efforts to clear its name." However, "GOP lawmakers weren't convinced," according to an unnamed Republican, who said ActBlue's new review was a "self-serving analysis." The article highlighted that "ActBlue and its supporters have painted the Republican probes as baseless and politically motivated," but also noted that in 2025, ActBlue lawyers informed the organization that CEO Wallace-Jones "may have misled Congress in her response because the steps for vetting foreign donations were not always followed."
"Warnings Weren't Heeded": The New York Post (Right) highlighted some of the policies used by ActBlue "with barely the appearance of proper vetting," which, according to the article, "let overseas money illegally flow to US campaigns and causes." A policy for passport verification, according to the report, uses "some very basic validation—number of characters—to ensure that the number entered is a valid passport number, but we do not verify the information in any other way." The article also noted that in early 2025, "lawyers for the platform had resigned" after claiming that "their warnings about the lax fraud safeguards weren't heeded."
"Pulls Back The Curtain": Daily Caller (Right) called ActBlue a "Democratic fundraising behemoth," saying that "the company may have recklessly laundered foreign money into American elections" and "CEO Regina Wallace-Jones may have perjured herself when she told Congress the platform is secure." The article explained that "When attorneys voiced concerns that the company may have broken the law, Wallace-Jones and others in ActBlue leadership simply retaliated against them." The outlet highlighted the running tally listed on the ActBlue's website, "shows the liberal money machine has raised nearly $20 billion as of Thursday," adding "How much of that enormous tranche originated abroad remains a complete mystery." The article said the "new congressional report pulls back the curtain" on Democratic fundraising.

Gas prices increased to a national average of $4.44 on Thursday, with diesel fuel prices averaging at a record $6.40. The price surge prompted media speculation about if prices will continue to increase, how Trump has responded, and how this could affect midterm elections.
The Details: AAA found that national gas price averages increased from $4.31 to $4.44 since Sunday, with prices ranging from $3.92 per gallon in Indiana to $6.09 in California. Prices are still below the all-time national high of $5.02 per gallon in the summer of 2022 under President Biden. Average diesel prices are at the highest the US has seen, according to AAA.
For Context: The Hill (Center bias) and other outlets framed the gas price surge as a result of the U.S. war in Iran and disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, which is a key waterway for more than a fifth of the world's oil distribution. Washington Post (Lean Left) reported that damage inflicted on Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline could create a larger oil disruption that could further surge prices. The Post also alleged that "maritime tracking organizations say that far less oil is getting through the Strait of Hormuz than the Trump administration claims."
Trump's Response: President Donald Trump said that the increased gas prices are "a very inexpensive price to pay for what we've done. Remember that. It's a little more. Frankly, even if it was a lot more." He also said prices are "going to come tumbling down."
How the Media Covered It: The Hill wrote that gas prices "could prove detrimental to Republicans in November" and that Republicans "are grappling with how to overcome Democrats' affordability message as energy prices continue to rise." Washington Post claimed that "American motorists have paid an additional estimated $107 billion in extra gasoline and diesel costs as a result of the war." It also alleged that the federal government "has few tools left to confront the spiraling costs." New York Post (Lean Right) highlighted stickers making fun of the president that critics have pasted on gas station pumps and packages of beef, placing blame on Trump for high prices. New York Post noted that the stickers, which feature the president's face with the phrase "I did that!" written underneath, are identical to stickers used in 2022 with former President Joe Biden's face when fuel prices surged.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was named as a victim in a multi-million dollar fraud scheme that took place between 2016 and 2023. Outlets on the right generally emphasized the perpetrator was an unauthorized immigrant while many outlets on the left omitted it completely.
The Details: Siddharth Jawahar was sentenced to 11 years in prison after taking over $35 million from investors to fund an "extravagant" lifestyle, according to the Justice Department. The department reported Jawahar used the money for "travel on private jets, stays at luxury hotels, a luxury apartment in Austin and New York City," memberships to private clubs and multiple spending sprees. He was ordered to pay $31.35 million in restitution to victims, which included Kelce and 64 others. It's unknown how much Kelce lost through the investments.
For Context: Between 2016 and 2023, Jawahar received more than $35 million from investors for his investment company called Swiftarc Capital LLC. According to the Justice Department, he only invested about $10 million. He also managed several additional investment entities. In January, he pleaded guilty to three counts of wire fraud.
Immigration Status: The Associated Press (Lean Left) cited court documents that showed Jawahar came into the US from India in 2005 and had since been living in the US without legal status. After his incitement, Jawahar allegedly tried to coach a victim into giving a favorable statement to the FBI, lied about his immigration status and finances, and tried to get his sister to remotely wipe his iPhone to hide evidence.
From the Right: Outlets on the right often emphasized Jawahar's immigration status in their headlines and at the beginning of their articles. The Daily Wire (Right bias) referred to Jawahar as "the illegal immigrant" throughout its piece. Breitbart (Right), The Blaze (Right) and Townhall (Right) all described Jawahar as an "illegal alien" in their headlines. Townhall wrote, "Democrats will tell us we can't deport illegal aliens who are non-violent. But Jawahar was a prolific criminal who scammed a lot of people, even though he looked like a banker."
From the Left: Many outlets on the left completely excluded Jawahar's immigration status, instead focusing on details of the case. This included People (Lean Left), NBC News (Lean Left), ABC News (Lean Left) and The Guardian (Left). NBC also omitted Jawahar's alleged attempt to get a victim to lie about his immigration status but noted him asking for a favorable statement and for his sister to wipe his phone. The outlet also quoted Rep. Sam Graves (R-MO) who commended Jawahar's time in jail where he "chose accountability" and helped establish educational programs.
From the Center: NewsNation (Center) and Newsweek (Center) focused on Kelce's fame and his marriage to Taylor Swift. NewsNation included stats from his first NFL game of the season. Newsweek also included a section about Kelce and Swift's net worth. Both outlets also omitted Jawahar's immigration status.

China is cracking down on billionaires and corruption. Following the landmark sentencing of Evergrande founder Hui Ka Yan (Xu Jiayin) to life in prison and the seizure of his assets, independent journalist Ben Norton joins Amanda Yee to break down President Xi Jinping’s ongoing anti-corruption campaign and how a socialist government disciplines capital.
Norton explains how in China, capital may create wealth, but the Communist Party maintains control over the steering wheel of the economy. And while Western regulatory systems often protect private oligarchy and corporate impunity, Xi Jinping since 2012 has taken aggressive action against high-profile tycoons and corrupt Party officials alike.
Norton is a Beijing-based journalist and the founder and editor of Geopolitical Economy Report.

The Carnivore Diet is getting mainstream news coverage these days, in a positive way.
Fox News just published an article on the Carnivore Diet highlighting the story of a man in Florida who claims he went on a Carnivore Diet that healed him of “decades of battling severe psoriasis, pain and depression.”
A 50-year-old Florida man who says he spent decades battling severe psoriasis, pain and depression credits an extreme “lion diet” with saving his life.
Stephen Lashbrook of Pensacola told Fox News Digital that his depression began at just four years old. In his teens, it was compounded by chronic pain and sleeplessness; in his early 20s, he was diagnosed with psoriasis, an immune-mediated skin disease.
“I was probably 90% covered in psoriasis,” Lashbrook said.
“My body was just one big, giant, itchy, flaky scab.”
Creams, steroids and other medications did not help, he said.
Doctors recommended expensive, long-term injections to combat his inflammation, which left Lashbrook feeling hopeless and suicidal.
Then, he came across a TED Talk from Mikhaila Peterson, an influencer and the daughter of Canadian psychologist and author Jordan Peterson, who used a meat-only elimination diet to tackle her own health issues.
“It gave me a whole new lease on life,” he said.
The concepts of the “Carnivore Diet” have been around since the 1930s, when a Dr. Vilhjalmur Stefansson, a Canadian ethnologist who spent more than a decade with the Inuit people in the Arctic, ate a traditional Eskimo diet consisting mostly of only fish and meat.
He was so healthy, it prompted him to study the diet more closely.
We republished an article about Stefansson back in 2013:
The men who ate nothing but meat for an entire year
Excerpts:
Low-carb diets and paleolithic nutrition are all the rage these days, and for good reason. Compared to the Standard American Diet, both of them are superb.
Few of us would dare to take the two to their extreme, however. Giving up sugar and wheat is one thing, but what about giving up everything except meat? Yes, I’m talking about an ultra low-carb diet with even foods like nuts and berries removed. Unsurprisingly and understandably, studies on the long-term effects of such a diet are severely lacking.
There is at least one study that did just this, however. If the diet brings the Eskimos to mind, it’s no coincidence. You may have heard of Dr. Vilhjalmur Stefansson – the Canadian ethnologist who spent more than a decade with the Inuit during his arctic explorations in the beginning of the previous century. For nine of these years, he lived almost exclusively on fish and meat .
At the time, this was considered heresy and life-threatening, just as it is today (note that Stefansson apparently refers to both fish and meat with the word “meat”):
A belief I was destined to find crucial in my Arctic work, making the difference between success and failure, life and death, was the view that man cannot live on meat alone. The few doctors and dietitians who thought you could were considered unorthodox if not charlatans.
The arguments ranged from metaphysics to chemistry: Man was not intended to be carnivorous – you knew that from examining his teeth, his stomach… As mentioned, he would get scurvy if he had no vegetables in meat. The kidneys would be ruined by overwork. There would be protein poisoning and, in general hell to pay.
To the surprise of many (including Stefansson himself), he suffered no health problems during his decade of pure carnivorism. When he told people of his amazing experiences, he was met with skepticism from medical authorities who asked him to undertake a study that would replicate the results.
He and a fellow explorer named Andersen agreed to eat an all-meat diet for an entire year in a closely observed setting.
This time, however, the diet was even more radical than the traditional Eskimo diet, which is based on fish and includes a small amount of berries and vegetables – not a lot, but enough to keep them out of ketosis most of the time. Furthermore, since fish is high in omega-3 fatty acids, you could argue that it’s all those good fats that keep the Eskimos free of disease.
But how could anyone subscribing to conventional health wisdom explain thriving on a diet consisting solely of red meat? No vegetables, no fruit, no vitamin supplements. Nothing. Just meat and animal fat.
The results of this fascinating study were published in 1930 in the Journal of the American Medical Association (link). At the beginning of the experiment, Stefansson was given only lean meat at the request of his supervisors. This was to confirm Stefansson’s bad experiences with low-fat meat; during his explorations, there had been periods during which fat was not readily available and which lead to diarrhea and nausea in a few weeks.
This time, the illness kicked in much earlier:
As said, in the Arctic we had become ill during the second or third fatless week. I now became ill on the second fatless day. The time difference between Bellevue and the Arctic was due no doubt mainly to the existence of a little fat, here and there in our northern caribou – we had eaten the tissue from behind the eyes, we had broken the bones for marrow, and in doing everything we could to get fat we had evidently secured more than we realized. At Bellevue the meat, carefully scrutinized, had been as lean as such muscle tissue can be.
After fat was added back into the diet, a full recovery was made in two days. The authors of the study describe the diet from then on:
The meat used included beef, lamb, veal, pork and chicken. The parts used were muscle, liver, kidney, brain, bone marrow, bacon, and fat.
Thus, fat played an important part in their diets. According to the authors, Andersen usually ate beef, while Stefansson often chose lamb. Both men ate about 800 grams of meat per day in 3-4 meals.
The protein contents ranged from 100 to 140 grams, the fat from 200 to 300 grams, and carbohydrates from 7 to 12 grams. In calories, the percentages were 15-25% protein, 75-85% fat, and 1-2% carbohydrate. The carbs came solely from the glycogen of the meat, making this not so much a low-carb as a no-carb diet. In addition to water, coffee and tea were allowed throughout the period.
As you can see from Stefansson’s results, this was not a “high meat” diet primarily, as protein only consisted of 15-25%, but it was primarily a “high fat” diet, and saturated fats at that, which made up 75-85% of the diet.
So while this is called the “Carnivore Diet”, it is primarily the “Ketogenic Diet,” which was developed about a decade earlier in the 1920s at Johns Hopkins hospital as a natural cure for epilepsy, when drugs failed. It was a high fat, moderate protein, very low carb diet.
The diet fell out of favor during the anti-saturated fat campaign started in the U.S. and codified into official government dietary advice in the 1970s as a result of the McGovern Report.
From the 1970s through today, government USDA diet advice continues to restrict saturated fats in the diet, as the “low-fat diet” has been their dogma for decades now.
There was hope that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., himself a proponent of the Carnivore Diet, would change government policy on saturated fats, but that did not happen. The USDA still only recommends a limit of 10% saturated fats. The main reason they cannot change this advice, is because many pharmaceutical drugs are based on the false belief that saturated fats cause heart disease.
HHS Secretary Kennedy Breaks His Promise: “War on Saturated Fat” Kept in Tact with New U.S. Dietary Guidelines
Excerpts:
With all of the news headlines of the past week, you may have missed the announcement that the USDA has “changed” their U.S. Dietary guidelines under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
They created flashy new websites, and turned the traditional “Food Pyramid” on its head, something that real food nutritionists have been recommending for decades, putting carbohydrates on the bottom, instead of at the top.
At the top they illustrated fats, proteins, fruits, and vegetables instead.
So far so good, until you start reading the actual recommendations.
Both HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary had been promising for almost a year that they were going to end the “war on saturated fats.”
But in the end, the USDA recommendation to limit one’s total daily calories to 10% or less of saturated fats, which has been the USDA recommendation for over 45 years now, was kept in tact.
As I have been reporting for over 2 decades now, the U.S. Government just simply cannot afford to admit that saturated fats are healthy, traditional foods, because it would upset the entire pharmaceutical narrative that saturated fats lead to high cholesterol, which they claim leads to increased heart disease, and is the dietary philosophy that supports $billions in revenues for drugs that artificially lower one’s cholesterol levels.
If the U.S. Government all of a sudden admitted that there is no scientific basis that saturated fats and cholesterol are harmful, it would open the floodgate of lawsuits from so many people who have suffered harm from this dietary advice for more than 45 years now.
In 2020 we published an interview between Dr. Mercola and Dr. Paul Saladino who was one of the top advocates of a Carnivore Diet. See:
The YouTube video in that article is no longer there, but there is an archived copy here.
Since that interview, however, Dr. Saladino has changed his diet, and no longer eats exclusively meat. See:
The main issue I have with the Carnivore Diet, and also the Paleo Diet, is that these diet philosophies accept Darwinian biological evolution as scientific fact, believing that man has evolved over billions of years, and that man used to be exclusively “hunters and gatherers” and therefore ate mostly all meat.
Agriculture is considered a “modern” invention as they claim man was not originally meant to eat plants.
But Darwinian biological evolution is not a fact, only a theory. Science can never “prove” anything in the past.
In the ancient written records of the Bible, “primitive man” was not a cave-dweller, but a highly intelligent human being who lived up to almost 1000 years old, before the worldwide flood. And agriculture was his primary occupation, starting in the Garden of Eden, where his primary diet was plant life before sin entered into the world, requiring animal sacrifices which is when the eating of meat began.
So while there are certainly benefits to the Carnivore Diet that many people attest to, it is primarily the Ketogenic Diet which is high in fat with moderate protein and low carbs that produces these kinds of results, as has been documented since the 1920s.
This can also be achieved by adding plant oils to your diet, especially coconut oil which is almost 90% saturated fat and can promote ketosis.
A search for the “Ketogenic Diet” on Health Impact News will result in over 130 articles on the topic, documenting how people’s lives have been changed by following a high fat, moderate protein, and low carb diet.
Here are a few:

The post What is the Carnivore Diet and How Does it Reverse Diseases? first appeared on Health Impact News.
With Netflix announcing its retelling of C.S. Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia, and reports that Aslan, the Great Lion who represents Christ, will be portrayed by a woman, it is worth asking an important question that is often overlooked by Hollywood and its creatives: Why was this story written in the first place?
Why did Lewis create Narnia?
It’s not a mystery. He tells us himself.
He wrote The Chronicles of Narnia to be enjoyed, but not merely enjoyed. There was a deeper purpose behind it all. Lewis was telling two stories at once.
On the surface, he was telling us about a magical land, an evil witch who had taken control, and a talking lion who defeated her. But beneath that story was another—the meaning behind the imagery and what it all was meant to teach us.
Lewis was telling a story about Jesus.
If it wasn’t obvious enough, it becomes explicit in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Towards the end of the book, Lucy and Edmund reach the edge of Aslan’s country. There, they have a remarkable encounter with a Lamb:
But between them and the foot of the sky there was something so white on the green grass that even with their eagles’ eyes they could hardly look at it. They came on and saw that it was a Lamb.
“Come and have breakfast,” said the Lamb in its sweet milky voice.
Then they noticed for the first time that there was a fire lit on the grass and fish roasting on it. They sat down and ate the fish, hungry now for the first time for many days. And it was the most delicious food they had ever tasted.
“Please, Lamb,” said Lucy, “is this the way to Aslan’s country?”
“Not for you,” said the Lamb. “For you the door into Aslan’s country is from your own world.”
“What!” said Edmund. “Is there a way into Aslan’s country from our world too?”
“There is a way into my country from all the worlds,” said the Lamb; but as he spoke his snowy white flushed into tawny gold and his size changed and he was Aslan himself, towering above them and scattering light from his mane.
Oh, Aslan,” said Lucy. “Will you tell us how to get into your country from our world?”
“I shall be telling you all the time,” said Aslan. “But I will not tell you how long or short the way will be; only that it lies across a river. But do not fear that, for I am the great Bridge Builder.”
Lewis isn’t subtle. The Lamb is Aslan. Aslan is the Lamb. The Lamb is the one who provides the meal. The way into his country lies across the river, and Aslan calls himself the “Great Bridge Builder.”
But Lewis makes the point here unmistakable.
Lucy is distressed because she has learned that she won’t see Aslan in Narnia again. Aslan, however, assures her that she will, but in another world, and under another name:
“It isn't Narnia, you know," sobbed Lucy. “It's you. We shan't meet you there. And how can we live, never meeting you?”
“But you shall meet me, dear one,” said Aslan.
“Are -are you there too, Sir?” said Edmund.
“I am,” said Aslan. “But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there.”
“This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia.”
Lewis could hardly have made his purpose in writing The Chronicles of Narnia clearer. The children were brought into Narnia so that, through knowing Aslan, they might learn to know Christ.
That means the Christian message is not an unnecessary aspect of the story. It’s not merely symbolism that can be disposed of or discarded without altering the entire story.
It’s the very reason the story exists in the first place.
That matters when we’re talking about any adaptation that substantially alters or diminishes the fundamental Christian nature of Lewis’ work. If you remove or change the story’s central meaning, you’ve not simply “modernised” Narnia. You’ve changed what Narnia actually is.
Of course, filmmakers might be free to tell whatever story they wish. But that is not what they are claiming to do. They are claiming to tell Lewis’ story, The Chronicles of Narnia. And that is the problem.
Imagine taking a Christian story, stripping away or altering its Christian symbolism, and using its beloved characters and world to make an entirely different point. That is hijacking Lewis’ beloved characters, his world, and the affection generations of readers have for them, and using what Lewis built as a vehicle for a message Lewis did not intend.
Again, Lewis did not merely sprinkle minor Christian themes throughout Narnia. He built the story around them. As he himself explained, the children were brought to Narnia so that, by knowing Aslan, they might know Christ better.
Strip Christ from Narnia, and you’re not simply tweaking the story; you are gutting it of the very purpose for which Lewis wrote it.
