Month: April 2026

Normally, we shouldn’t have to care about Ọmọba Antoinette Oyínkánsọ́lá Fernandez, better known as Antoinette Fernandez.

Her major claim to fame was that she was the Green Party candidate in the 2024 United Kingdom General Election for the parliamentary seat in Hackney North and Stoke Newington. She finished second, with 23 percent of the vote to 60 percent for the Labour Party candidate.

However, the Green Party — which has become a radical identitarian party that panders to the worst elements of Britain’s Islamic community — has seen a dramatic rise in its fortunes in the past few years, including winning a by-election in February that augurs poorly for Labour going forward. Fernandez, therefore, has a good chance of becoming a member of the U.K. Parliament in the not-too-distant future.

Second, Fernandez is profoundly ignorant and is willing to use that ignorance as a cudgel to make you think that she’s owed deference because of Britain’s colonial past. She is of Nigerian descent, and as she claims, her great-great-grandfather — a king — was overthrown by the Brits to avoid his people being massacred.

Just one problem, as users on social media pointed out: If her story is true, the British Navy overthrew her great-great-grandfather to stop the slave trade, which he was facilitating.

Talk about an unforced error.

So first the post, which was made a little under two years ago, but only got attention now. In it, Fernandez quote-posted a thread about the British annexation of Lagos, the former capital of Nigeria, in 1861.

“My great, great maternal grandfather was the Oba (king) of Lagos in 1861 and was forced — under threat of military bombardment — aka to avoid a massacre of the people — to cede Lagos over to the British,” she wrote.

“Lest we forget.”

Well, there are several errors in there, starting with the fact that the taking of Lagos happened in 1851 — but those keys are right next to each other.

Not next to each other are the keys “forced — under threat of military bombardment — aka to avoid a massacre of the people” and “forced to cede Lagos because it was an epicenter of the African slave trade and the king (or ‘oba,’ if you prefer) was involved in it.”

Thank heavens for community notes, which began popping up earlier this week:

Fernandez deleted the August 2024 post on Friday morning U.K. time, and indeed hasn’t posted anything from her X account, period, since 2025. However, a bit of background from the website Royal Marines History, which describes the battle in which the king was deposed following a Dec. 26, 1851, battle.

The battle of December 26, 1851 was termed by Lagosians Ogun Ahoyaya/Ogun Agidingbi (translated, “The Boiling Battle”). Captain Jones led the attack party consisting HMS Bloodhound, HMS Teaser, a flotilla of boats including The Victoria and The Harlequin equipped with overwhelming fire power engaged Kosoko in a battle lasting three days.
  
Kosoko put up a stiff resistance, but the Royal Navy’s superior firepower won the day. [Oba] Kosoko and his leading chiefs fled Lagos for Epe on December 28, 1851. According to Samuel Davies, a Saro and younger brother of JPL Davies who participated on the British side aboard HMS Bloodhound, Kosoko would have inflicted great losses on the Royal Navy if he had deployed his war canoes with their swivel guns. …

The power of the Royal Navy was subsequently used to suppress the slave trade, and while some illegal trade, mostly with Brazil, continued, the Atlantic slave trade would be eradicated by the middle of the 19th century.

Well, that’s not a good look. It’s worth noting that the official annexation of Lagos by the British occurred in 1861, but the overthrow of her beloved oba, who was behind shipping slaves to the Americas and elsewhere, happened 10 years earlier.

Why should this make a difference, aside from the fact that it’s a grimly humorous self-own?

For those of you who don’t have time to pay attention to the politics of dear ol’ Blighty while keeping track of our own, the U.K.’s system is undergoing a seismic upheaval at the moment. Since the World War II coalition government, the leader of the ruling coalition has either been a member of the Labour or Conservative party, the latter colloquially known as the “tories.” They function much as the Democrats or Republicans do in the United States — and even though there are a greater number of third parties who manage to make it into Parliament, they usually function as small members of the larger coalitions ruled by the left- or right-wing parties.

However, a succession of failed Labour and Conservative governments has soured the Brits on their two major parties, particularly on immigration (for the right) and support for Israel (on the left). A March Ipsos poll found that if a general election were held today, conservative alternative party Reform U.K., led by Nigel Farage, would get 28 percent of the vote, first place. The Greens are tied for third with 17 percent, and only four points behind Labour, their main rival.

Moreover, the “green” in Green Party isn’t ecological anymore so much as it is Islamist. When Hannah Spencer won that aforementioned by-election in Gorton and Denton in February, with more than 50 percent of the vote, she did it by pandering to the Islamic community there — releasing campaign advertisements in Urdu, a language related to Hindi but mostly spoken by Muslims, the U.K. National noted.

This is the kind of racial- and ethnic-identity struggle sessions that the Green Party hopes will win it votes the next time a major general election comes around. And you know what? They’re probably right.

Thus, expect to hear quite a bit about the perfidies visited by the Brits on Ọmọba Antoinette Oyínkánsọ́lá Fernandez’s great-great-grandfather, without any mention of the perfidies he visited on his own people, more than a few times in the House of Commons. We’ll get told the Brits were the ones behind the slave trade, without any talk of them ending it. And the media will just shut up and pretend that Africa would be wonderful if only we’d have listened to people like the modern Greens.

Last night on the Gutfeld! show, Greg and his panel talked about a trans professor from Canada who recently went viral as she/he/they talked about wanting to do ‘sexual orientation’ work with kids as young as kindergarten age.

Greg called the professor repulsive, after using the words ‘you sick, fat, f**k.’

Kat Timpf pointed out that if this person is hearing from a lot of kids that they are trans, it is because of him/her/they, not the kids.

The video below includes comments from the professor and then Greg and the rest of the crew.

On his Fox News show, Greg Gutfeld roasted the University of Regina professor of Queer Studies in Education, Dr. j skelton. pic.twitter.com/vfbFZQsrXL

This professor was in the news a few days ago for a controversy over pronouns.

The New York Post reported:

Trans Canadian researcher gets roasted for using ludicrous pronouns: ‘lower case letters please’

A woke Canadian academic whose research includes working with young children to create “queer- and trans-centered spaces” is drawing mockery online for his choice of pronouns — his full name, all lowercase.

The PhD — who is transgender and presents as a man with a goatee — asked on Facebook to be referred to by his full name, j wallace skelton, in place of traditional third-person pronouns like him, her or they — including the lowercase letters.

“lower case letters please,” the header on his Facebook profile reads for reasons unknown.

Skelton, an assistant professor of queer studies in education at the University of Regina, says on his website that he is the father of a “non-binary ten year old,” whom he says is a frequent research partner.

One of the duo’s projects — as detailed on Skelton’s personal website — centers around “how do 2SLGBTQ children and children from 2SLGBTQ families envision educational spaces that meet their needs,” he wrote, using Canada’s preferred term for LGBTQ.

Higher education really deserves to fail as an industry. It has gone so far out of the mainstream that it is no longer recognizable.

Perhaps something new and better would be born from its ashes.

We certainly shouldn’t continue to fund whatever this professor is talking about. Maybe just medical schools, law schools, and high tech for a while. And trade schools. We actually need more people to go to those.

We haven’t heard much lately from James Talarico, the Texas Democrat running for a U.S. Senate seat in November. Perhaps he has been trying to keep a low profile. Every time this guy turns around, a bizarre new video or audio clip of him surfaces somewhere highlighting his utterly bonkers view of Christianity.

Now there is another one.

In this case, Talarico says that having police in schools fuels a culture of violence. This goes directly to the idiotic Democrat idea of defunding the police.

Also, why would anyone object to having more police in schools? It could save lives.

FOX News has details:

Rising Dem Talarico denies anti-cop label after ‘culture of violence’ comments exposed

Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico is pushing back on the idea that he supports defunding the police, calling it a “flat-out lie.”

Republicans are confronting Talarico with resurfaced comments from a 2019 episode of the Trey Blocker Show, in which he suggests that a heavy police presence in schools without sufficient mental health professionals contributes to a “culture of violence.”

Democrats believe they have a shot at flipping the critical Senate seat blue for the first time in decades. But the GOP hopes to defend its Senate majority by highlighting Talarico’s more controversial stances to undermine his moderate appeal.

The latest to be unearthed is from the 2019 interview, in which Talarico decried plans to increase police officer presence in schools without also placing more emphasis on mental health.

“We’re all concerned about school safety and recent school shootings, and that concern, in some ways, has been channeled unproductively toward militarizing schools and toward kind of leaning into a culture of violence and adding more law enforcement officials into campuses,” he posited.

As a solution, Talarico, a former middle school teacher, touted the first bill he introduced as a member of the Texas House of Representatives, which would have mandated a set ratio of mental health workers for every police officer placed in a school.

Listen to the audio below:

Welcome back, Artemis II’s crew!

Artemis II’s historic journey to the moon orbit and back is set to conclude with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean this Friday evening.

Splashdown is expected at around 8:07 p.m. ET at some 80 miles off the coast of San Diego.

This will crown the ten-day, 685,000-mile mission, the first crewed flight to the moon in 54 years.

Fist bump!

The New York Post reported:

“Friday’s splashdown is unlikely to be as dazzling a sight here on Earth as the April 1 launch was — but the astronauts will have a show from within their capsule as they soar through the atmosphere at nearly 25,000 mph on a tail of fire and the capsule heats to upward of 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

NASA said they’ll feel 3.9 Gs on the way back to terra firma — and hit a maximum velocity of 23,864 mph.

Parachutes will then deploy to slow the capsule, until it hits the water at around 17 mph, and the crew is snatched up by a waiting recovery ship.”

The Islamic Republic of Iran has been nominated to the U.N. Committee for Program and Coordination, which shapes policy on women’s rights, human rights, disarmament, and terrorism prevention. The nomination was backed by ECOSOC members, including the UK, Spain, Canada, France, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Australia, Switzerland, Austria, and Finland.

This is part of a broader pattern. In February 2026, an Iranian regime official took her seat as a full member of the UN Human Rights Council’s Advisory Committee, contributing to discussions on gender perspectives and gender-based violence, while Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister addressed the council’s high-level opening session.

Iran was previously removed from a comparable body in 2022, when ECOSOC voted 29 to 8 to remove it from the Commission on the Status of Women following its violent crackdown on protesters after the death of Mahsa Amini. It is now being nominated back onto similar bodies.

Iran has no standing to shape global policy on women’s rights. The country executed 65 women in 2025, up from 34 in 2024, 26 in 2023, and 15 in 2022, the highest number of women’s executions recorded in 25 years, with nine more executed in the first two months of 2026. During the January 2026 protests, at least 250 women were killed by government forces using live ammunition, and 207 cases of femicide were recorded across Iran in 2025.

The UN’s own Special Rapporteur on Iran has described the country as maintaining a system of gender apartheid, enforced through the Chastity and Hijab Law, which criminalizes women’s dress through 71 articles, imposes fines and prison terms, and empowers intelligence agencies to surveil and punish women in public life. The legal age of marriage for girls remains 13, with younger girls eligible for marriage with a father’s approval.

Iran’s record on human rights is no less disqualifying. By the end of December 2025, Iran had executed over 2,000 people, the highest known number of executions since the late 1980s, with more than half for drug offenses in violation of international law and with women and ethnic minorities increasingly targeted.

In January 2026, security forces carried out mass killings of protesters amid a nationwide internet and telecommunications shutdown, with independent monitors verifying over 6,000 fatalities. At least six juvenile offenders were executed in 2025, in direct violation of Iran’s obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Hundreds of lawyers, journalists, human rights defenders, and religious minorities remain arbitrarily detained.

On terrorism, Iran has been designated the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism by the United States since 1984. The IRGC is designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union, Australia, Canada, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Ukraine, and more than a dozen other countries.

Through the IRGC and its Quds Force, Iran funds, arms, and directs Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Houthis, and multiple Iraqi militias, while conducting direct attacks against U.S. military personnel, Israeli targets, and dissidents on foreign soil.

On disarmament, Iran has pursued a covert nuclear program, developed long-range ballistic missiles capable of reaching Europe, and supplied Shahed drones to Russia for use in Ukraine. In August 2025, a senior IRGC commander stated publicly that Iran has been developing long-range missiles for two decades, capable of reaching Europe and potentially targeting U.S. assets.

During the 64th session of the UN Commission for Social Development, held February 2–10, 2026, Iran’s Abbas Tajik was elected vice-chair of the 65th session without objection, as the commission prepared to focus on democracy, gender equality, tolerance, and non-violence, four areas in which Iran’s record is among the worst in the world.

Iran is a theocratic authoritarian state with no free elections, no independent judiciary, and no permitted political opposition. It executes religious minorities, detains journalists, lawyers, and human rights defenders, and suppresses ethnic minority populations, while funding and directing Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and multiple militant proxy networks across the region.

Several structural factors explain how Iran secures these nominations. The UN operates through regional group nominations, and Iran, as a member of the Asian group, can obtain a nomination simply by being present and active within that bloc, regardless of its conduct. Those nominations are typically rubber-stamped.

The ECOSOC members who backed Iran’s nomination included Western democracies that simultaneously designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization, a contradiction that reflects diplomatic horse-trading in which countries support each other’s nominees in exchange for reciprocal support with no regard for whether the nominee is appropriate.

Some Western governments have also historically believed that keeping Iran inside multilateral institutions preserves a channel for negotiation, particularly on the nuclear file. Beyond that, the UN has no mechanism requiring that a country’s domestic conduct align with the mandate of the committee it joins.

Membership is a political process, not a merit-based one. Iran also pursues these seats strategically, as membership confers legitimacy, intelligence on other nations’ positions, and the ability to obstruct proceedings from within.

In each of the areas covered by these committees, Iran is among the world’s worst active offenders. Its nomination is a demonstration of how the UN’s regional bloc system can be exploited to place the most egregious violators in positions of authority over the norms they systematically destroy.

Welcome to race based anti-white tax policies. pic.twitter.com/ytEn1Snibr

This is the future of the Democrat party.

The left rallied behind Mamdani and made him mayor of the nation’s largest city. He is the shining example of the next generation of Democrat leadership as he completely runs the city into the ground.

Now he wants to effectively impose a raced based tax system to shift the burden onto white people.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

The mayor of America’s largest city, socialist Zohran Mamdani, has a plan to tax white people more. This appears to be an egregious violation of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which calls for all races to have equal protection under the law.

On April 7, 2026, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani released the Preliminary Citywide Racial Equity Plan, described as the first government-wide racial equity framework in the city’s history, along with a “True Cost of Living” measure. The plan spans 45 agencies and includes more than 200 agency-level goals, over 800 strategies, and roughly 600 performance indicators.

The framework is inseparable from a property tax proposal Mamdani advanced during his mayoral campaign, in which he called for shifting tax burdens from outer-borough homeowners to “more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods,” arguing the current system undertaxes high-value real estate.

The proposed estate tax threshold of $750,000, which would impose a 50 percent state estate tax on homes above that value, potentially raising the combined federal and state rate to 70 percent, closely matches the median home value for white homeowners in New York City, as documented in the city comptroller’s own racial wealth gap report.

Americans need to look no further than New York City if they want to know what Democrats would like to do should they obtain power again.

Mamdani and his plans, his policies, his platform are the future of the Democrat party, and it is further destroying a once great nation for all to see.

A private liberal arts college in Portland, Oregon, is scheduled to host a multi-day event organized by its Antifa-aligned Prison Abolition Club that critics describe as training in terrorism and radicalization.

Antifa has been designated as a terrorist organization in the United States.

Lewis & Clark College will hold the 5th Annual Transformative Action and Abolition Symposium, titled “Bad Trouble,” from April 13 to April 15.

The event, organized by the student Prison Abolition Club, focuses on strategies for “violent direct action” against the government, risk assessment to avoid prosecution, and running interference to stop arrests.

The symposium’s overview asks participants questions such as, “What place does violent direct action have in social justice organizing?” and “How can we critically evaluate the efficacy of our direct action decisions and strategies?”

It also asks how to fight “neoliberal co-optation” of resistance and learn from past “risk takers.”

Scheduled panels include:

• Anarchist Communique Readings: Participants will read and analyze Antifa and anarchist blog posts that claim responsibility for attacks, drawing inspiration from them.
• Grab Your Comrades Back Training: Instruction on how to interfere with lawful police arrests to “de-arrest” targeted individuals (also referred to as de-arrest tactics).
• Queer Activist Roundtable and other discussions on abolitionist organizing.

The event flyer explicitly directs attendees to “wear a mask, please,” and features imagery including a burning police vehicle with smashed windows, a gas can, flames, bolt cutters, and barbed wire.

One training session is set for April 14 at the Gregg Pavilion building on campus.

Journalist Andy Ngo first exposed the event on X, calling it “Antifa terrorism and radicalization training.”

The Prison Abolition Club’s official page on the Lewis & Clark website describes its mission as working toward the full abolition of prisons, policing, jails, and surveillance systems.

The college did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Post Millennial or other outlets.

Portland has been a focal point for Antifa and anarchist activity for years, including the 2020 riots that caused widespread damage and the more recent 2025 protests targeting the ICE field office in south Portland.

Those incidents involved assaults on officers, property destruction, and other violence.

In another jaw-dropping example of Minnesota’s collapsing justice system under far-left Governor Tim Walz, a major fraud kingpin in the state’s largest-ever Medicaid scam has skipped the country, just days before his high-profile trial was set to begin.

Abdirashid Said, the top defendant in a sprawling $11 million personal care assistant (PCA) fraud scheme, is now a fugitive after skipping a scheduled pretrial hearing in Hennepin County.

The trial, expected to last weeks and expose a massive web of fraud targeting taxpayer-funded Medicaid programs, has now been abruptly canceled.

According to reporting from KARE 11’s Lou Raguse, Said had been facing serious charges including racketeering, aiding and abetting theft by swindle, and perjury.

Prosecutors alleged he played a central role in a coordinated scheme involving PCA companies that billed Medicaid for services that were never performed, effectively siphoning millions from taxpayers.

Said had already been convicted of fraud in a previous scheme and was ordered by a judge NOT to work for any company receiving Medicaid funds, KARE 11 reported.

Yet he allegedly continued the grift, complete with perjury on the witness stand, where he claimed massive checks were just “loans and gifts” to pay off prior restitution.

When he was initially charged, prosecutors pushed hard for a sky-high bail or the surrender of his passport. But the judge set an unconditional $150,000 bond and let him walk free with his travel documents intact. Thanks to Tim Walz’s “progressive” courts, $150K was apparently all it took for an $11 million fraud suspect to vanish into thin air.

FOX 9 reported:

Court records show that Said failed to appear for his court appearance, canceling a jury trial that was set to begin next week.

Said avoided being ordered to surrender his passport by paying the unconditional bond amount of $150,000. The conditional bond, which would have required him to surrender his passport, was set at $50,000.

The criminal complaint shows investigators raised concerns over his family ties outside the country, including a wife and child in Nairobi, Kenya.

The detective who filed the complaint wrote, “Given the nature and severity of the charges, and SAID’s familial ties outside the jurisdiction of Minnesota, I believe there is a potential SAID may flee, hide, or otherwise prevent the execution of the warrant.”

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison shared the following statement:

“A warrant has been issued for Mr. Said’s arrest after he failed to appear for a pre-trial hearing. My Medicaid Fraud Control Unit is working with federal law enforcement to locate Said and ensure he faces justice for the fraud he committed. This is a deeply frustrating setback, however I remain committed to doing everything I can to hold Said and other Medicaid fraudsters accountable.”

A former staffer has accused far-left California Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading candidate in the race for governor, of sexual assault.

The woman, who worked in Swalwell’s office for nearly two years, told The San Francisco Chronicle that he began contacting her shortly after she was hired at age 21.

She alleged the relationship escalated from private messages to physical encounters.

The accusation follows days of speculation that various women were preparing to come forward.

Politico reports that Swalwell’s gubernatorial campaign is already imploding as a result of the allegations, with multiple staff resigning in anticipation of the Chronicle’s story.

According to her account, Swalwell sent explicit messages and later initiated sexual contact during work-related travel.

She claims two incidents amounted to sexual assault, alleging she was too intoxicated to consent.

Swalwell has denied the allegations, with his legal team even issuing a cease-and-desist letter accusing the woman of making “false statements” and warning of possible legal action.

“These allegations are false and come on the eve of an election against the frontrunner for governor,” he said.

“For nearly 20 years, I have served the public — as a prosecutor and a congressman and have always protected women.

”I will defend myself with the facts and where necessary bring legal action.”

The woman alleged that in 2019, after a night of drinking, she woke up in Swalwell’s hotel room with signs of sexual activity she could not recall consenting to.

She also described a second alleged incident in April 2024 after meeting Swalwell at a charity event where he took advantage of her while severely intoxicated.

In messages reviewed by the Chronicle, she later wrote she had been “sexually assaulted” and had “blacked out.”

“I woke up once during it and even told him to stop at one point,” she wrote.

Eric Swalwell has taken a page out of the Trump playbook by attempting to silence women. Today we learned he is intimidating survivors, serving cease and desist letters on those coming forward with stories of sexual harassment and abuse.

The Chronicle reported that a friend and her then-boyfriend said she appeared disoriented the next morning. Medical records show she later sought pregnancy and STD testing.

Swalwell, who has served in Congress since 2013, is a leading candidate for California governor. He has also denied separate allegations circulating online, calling them false.

A notorious sleazebag, Swalwell has a history of eroticizing violence against women and once had an affair with a Chinese spy named Fang Fang.
