Trump said he had warned Macron about the consequences of his immigration policies years before the latest unrest. “Emmanuel, he’s a friend of mine. I told him a...

From the upper floors of Millbank Tower, a skyscraper overlooking the River Thames in London, the U.K. Houses of Parliament are just a few hundred yards away. For decades, the building housed the headquarters of Britain's Conservative Party, one of the world's oldest political parties. Today, it is home to Reform UK, the right-wing populist party led by Nigel Farage that is hoping to — and by some measures may already have — replace the Conservatives as the dominant force on the British right. The change of occupants reflects a wider political upheaval sweeping some of Europe's biggest democracies. In...

On October 20, 1967, Roger Patterson and Robert “Bob” Gimlin captured just under a minute of shaky, grainy 16mm film footage of Bigfoot. Allegedly. Nearly 60 years later, the new documentary Capturing Bigfoot finally puts the issue to rest: it was a hoax. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Of course it was a hoax.” To many of us, the clip was an obvious ruse. That seven-foot-tall hirsute fella is a person in a suit. Bigfoot, like Nessie, the Abominable Snowman, the Jersey Devil, and El Chupacabra, does not exist. However, for many others, the myth has persisted. Those 59...

KIM Jong-un is in a coma after suffering a brain haemorrhage, according to wild internet claims. Social media users claim the North Korean tyrant was rushed to a Chinese hospital for urgent treatment following the severe bleed. It is said he was taken out of the country due to the poor medical facilities in Pyongyang. According to online speculation, Kim was taken to the Peking Union Medical College in Beijing where he underwent emergency treatment.

There are, as best I can fathom, three possible options for what you are about to read from Texas Senator John Cornyn. The outgoing senator sent this public statement via his X Account:[SOURCE]It is the official position of the United States government that Ukraine has never had access to the “Starshield” global satellite system used by the United States military for communication and global guidance targeting. Giving Ukraine access to Starshield would be akin to the United States operating missile and drone targeting of nuclear armed Russia.For obvious reasons the U.S. government would not want to escalate to direct military...

Former Biden White House aide and Democratic strategist Yemisi Egbewole predicted that the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) would be sidelined ahead of the 2028 presidential election during a Wednesday episode of "The Fifth Column" podcast, hosted by Kmele Foster and Michael Moynihan, despite the socialist movement's recent primary victories. When asked by Foster whether the Democratic Party was moving toward the DSA's ideology, Egbewole, a senior fellow at the centrist Democratic think tank Third Way, predicted the movement would struggle to translate its recent successes into national influence. "Going into 2028, the DSA... Baby gets put in a corner,"...

Leftism’s flaw is that it cares too much. Leftists are kind, generous people who just don’t understand the practical consequences of their ideas. They feel too deeply and try too hard to prevent inequality as they live in a fantasy world of rainbows and unicorns. Yeah, that’s a bunch of BS. There may be a few such “useful idiots” (as Lenin called them) on the left, but these last few months the masks have been coming off.

Amid escalating tensions between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday dodged three times when asked whether Ukraine is an ally of the United States. “We provide the three different things ... to Ukraine, so that’s what you do for an ally. We’re not providing those to Russia,” Bessent told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” the second time he was asked whether the U.S. considers Ukraine an ally. Asked for a third time, the treasury secretary simply said, “I’m not the secretary of state. I’m not the president.” Earlier, Bessent said the U.S....

Ukrainian immigrants, due to lose humanitarian protections from deportation Monday, are the latest group to get a reprieve. Since January 2025, the Trump administration has stripped immigrants from country after country of humanitarian protections: Venezuela, Haiti, Afghanistan, Syria, South Sudan. But in recent weeks, immigrants from a few nations appear to have escaped that fate. In the latest example, some 100,000 Ukrainians were scheduled Monday to lose temporary protected status (TPS) from deportation. But the Department of Homeland Security is expected to extend those protections, according to the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington and an official with the Trump administration who...

Feds have DNA evidence that can prove Ilhan Omar committed immigration fraud, wed her brother: sources WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors are planning to use DNA evidence to prove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) committed immigration fraud, as part of the sprawling investigation into the congresswoman, sources told The Post. People familiar with the years-long criminal probe said the feds have made use of whistleblowers, government records and now obtained DNA in an effort to substantiate decade-old allegations that Omar — and possibly members of her family like her father — defrauded immigration authorities. One source said the DNA evidence was critical...
