El Fasher has the highest cost of basic goods nationwide at nearly $1,000 per household per month, which is far beyond the reach of most families. This includes more than $700 for food alone - more than eight times the cost of basic food items in other parts of the country. Aid deliveries had been blocked for over a year, and a sanitation campaign was launched to prevent disease outbreaks in displacement sites. In Blue Nile State, cholera cases have surged to...

Just as Americanists opposed and condemned as communist the Anti-Defamation League and similar organizations (including the American Jewish Congress), many Americanist leaders distrusted and denounced Zionism and the State of Israel. “[There is] more ideological and cultural kinship between Israel and the Soviet Union than between Israel and the United States,” declared Dan Smoot in 1969.97 “Behold, then, this strange situation,” he added: “Israel and the Soviet Union, with harsh words, are pursuing a common objective in the Middle East; to isolate all Arab countries from the United States and drive them into the Soviet orbit . . .” 98...

The ever-dramatic Margaret Brennan is in full pearl-clutching mode as she questions NATO Secretary General, Mark Rutte, about the upcoming meeting between horrible President Trump and even more horrible President Putin.

The US Census Bureau has admitted that it made some serious errors in its 2020 counts. There were significant under-counts in Republican-leaning states like Florida (-3.48%) and Texas (-1.92%), while blue states such as New York (+3.44%) and Rhode Island (+5.05%) were over-counted. These miscounts led to an incorrect apportionment of House seats and Electoral College votes. To correct these errors President Trump said "I instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate census based on modern-day facts and figures. Since the Constitution requires the census for the purpose of apportioning the membership...

The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) is quietly developing an artificial intelligence system that could dramatically speed up asylum approvals worldwide. While publicly marketed as an “efficiency tool” to identify bottlenecks in the refugee process, this AI system gives the UN something it has never had before: real-time control over the pace and volume of migration flows. According to UNHCR, the AI is designed to: Analyze global refugee case files in bulk. Flag points in the process where applications stall. Alert UN staff to “optimize” workflows in near real time. Western countries are already under enormous political pressure to expand...

VIDEOGreg Gutfeld had a great time on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show on Thursday night. It turned out as late night talk shows were meant to be namely lots of laughs and fun. However, you just know that angry leftists could not tolerate such merriment. The Bluesky Bolsheviks were raging that that Fallon had somehow sold out to fascism. On TikTok most people were reacting highly favorably to Gutfeld's appearance with Fallon. Of course, as could be expected, there were a few naysayers such as the sanctimonious TikTokker featured here who self-righteously denounced Jimmy Fallon for somehow caving in to fascism....

He calls it “freedom of the woods”. A short version is included in this Wolf Essay.
