Biden and his Blinken Idiot as SecState botch yet another act of diplomacy. Was it the Guitar riff in Kiev or just Biden’s sad foreign policy.

Le Pen legacy: Marion Maréchal battles the woke agenda, ‘Islamification’ in European elections

European parliamentary elections: What a right-wing surge could mean for the EU
