  Trump to DEPORT Violent Canadian Leftist | Bridgehead Briefing Ep. 75

  Jul 23, 202622 min

  Jonathon covers the story of Canadian progressive Kaitlyn Tracey, who assaulted a pro-Trump teenage girl and is now facing deportation from I.C.E. after being found in the US illegally. Second, a judge rules that a violent male serial sex offender who identifies as transgender cannot be transferred to a women’s prison - but leaves the door open to it in the future. Finally, Jonathon looks at the lawsuit by a same-sex couple against a surrogate mother who refused their demand to abort their son at 22 weeks over a cleft lip and minor birth defect. They are seeking an outrageous $600,000 in damages. ————— You can find Jonathon’s book, “How We Got Here,” at the following locations: In Canada: On Amazon Canada: https://a.co/d/05YUPqU On thebridgehead.ca: https://thebridgehead.ca/product/how-we-got-here/ In the USA: On Amazon: https://a.co/d/66YAOI7 ————— You can find “The Bridgehead with Jonathon Van Maren” podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Rumble, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

  Islam's Christian Slave Trade | Bridgehead Briefing Ep. 74

  Jul 16, 202629 min

  As the UK's rape gang inquiry exposes decades of systematic abuse, Tucker Carlson and allies are pushing revisionist history — whitewashing Islam's long record of persecuting Christians while redirecting blame toward Israel. We trace the historical thread from Ottoman enslavement of Christian boys and women to today's grooming gangs, and examine why this deliberate cover-up is so dangerous.
