In wide-ranging interview with the NYT, US president claims he is probably the least antisemitic person in the world and says he does not know who Nick Fuentes is US President Donald Trump said there is no room in his MAGA movement or the Republican Party for antisemites. In a wide-ranging two-hour interview with The New York Times, whose full transcript was published on Sunday, Trump was asked about leading conservative figures who have espoused antisemitic views and their place in the Republican Party and Make America Great Again movement. “I think we don’t need them. I think we don’t...

In recent years (and more recently in the Trump era), strategic and international affairs experts have spent tons of ink and paper trying to predict what the world would be like without America. Diplomatic gurus, prestigious essayists, former political leaders, and reputable publishers have dedicated blood, sweat and money to warn of all the bad things that lay ahead for Europeans when Washington looked the other way, over their heads, or retreated into itself. Titles like "The Return of the Jungle" or "The End of the West" or "A World Without America" illustrate this trend. But we have to admit...

Democrats mourn ‘insurrection’ on January 6, engage in insurrection on January 7. The ability of the Democrat Machine to rewrite its code at a moment’s notice is terrifying. What it supported yesterday, it will denounce tomorrow when politically expedient. Right now we’re seeing a perfect example in the way prominent Democrats are reacting to federal agents enforcing immigration law. On January 6, congressional Democrats choreographed an almost religious ritual (including a candlelit ceremony) during which they framed the D.C. protest of election fraud five years ago as an “insurrection” that resulted in the “murder” of police officers (reminder: only Trump...

Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Ken Martin compared the U.S. to Iran in several social media posts Sunday, claiming both countries are guilty of "killing protesters." Martin made his first comparison on X, expressing support for both protesters in the U.S. and Iran for rising up against "systems that wield violence without accountability." "From Tehran to my birthplace of Minneapolis, people are rising up against systems that wield violence without accountability. In Iran, brave protestors confront a far-right theocratic regime that crushes dissent and denies basic freedoms," Martin wrote. He continued, "Here at home, tens of thousands are marching after...

The Rt. Rev. A. Robert Hirschfeld, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire, has issued a stark warning to the clergy in his diocese. He told them they need to get their affairs in order and prepare for the possibility of martyrdom while protesting ICE and its efforts to enforce immigration laws and stop illegal immigration, along with other acts of injustice. Speaking to attendees at a candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good—the woman fatally shot by an ICE agent after she drove her vehicle toward him—Bishop Hirschfeld declared her a martyr for the cause and warned the Christians...

KENOSHA, Wis. — A dog was fatally shot after it attacked multiple people Saturday night, the Kenosha Police Department reported on Tuesday. The police and fire departments responded to the 6100 block of 18th Avenue at around 9 p.m. and learned about a dog biting a 36-year-old woman. While family members, officers, and fire personnel were gathered outside the home, the dog escaped and attacked multiple individuals, including members of the Kenosha Fire Department. A police officer, who has four years of law enforcement experience, discharged his firearm, fatally wounding the animal. The dog was actively and aggressively attacking and...

Although the argument goes on, the video of the Minneapolis shooting taken by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who shot Renee Good effectively answered the question of whether the agent, Jonathan Ross, acted lawfully. The video, and other evidence as well, suggests that he did. "Regardless of whether you believe Renee Good's death resulted from either her poor decision-making in gratuitously courting danger, or Trump's excessive zeal in ramping up immigration enforcement, the legal case comes down to whether the agent reasonably perceived a potentially lethal threat," wrote former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy. "From what we have seen so...

A federal judge blocked New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's effort to intervene in the sale of thousands of rent-stabilized rental properties on Thursday. Mamdani's administration had sought to slow the sale of the properties after tenants complained that the seller, Pinnacle Group, had poorly maintained the properties and were concerned that the prospective buyer, Summit Properties USA, would have similar issues. Mamdani's administration attempted to intervene on the basis of being a creditor to Pinnacle. The company owes the city over $12 million in unpaid fines, according to Gothamist. Bankruptcy Judge David Jones rejected Mamdani's effort, however, setting back...

[After debate backlash, California Democrat Wiener says Israel-Hamas war meets genocide[sic] definition. JPost, 1.12.26. Genocide accusation comes after Wiener's second thoughts. Wiener's genocide accusation came after a lightning round of questions at the Thursday San Francisco debate, in which candidates were given policy questions and expected to hold placards indicating either a "yes" or "no" response. When the question arose of "is Israel committing genocide in Gaza," San Francisco Board Supervisor Connie Chan and political activist Saikat Chakrabarti signaled "yes," but Wiener didn't raise his placard. Wiener's response was met with boos and heckles from the audience, who called "shame"...

There seems to be a bit of confusion in our society of late about what "civil disobedience" is and what it isn’t. Last week, this very confusion got 37-year-old Renee Good killed. Political protest in the form of civil disobedience has a long and very proud tradition, from Mahatma Gandhi nonviolently defying the British in India, to our own Martin Luther King Jr. penning his eloquence from a Birmingham jail cell. There is a stoic dignity to this practice, which in and of itself grants the words of its practitioners a gravity and profound humility. What we are seeing across...

Fox News media reporter Joseph Wulfsohn noted that Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings was well, triggered by the ICE-agent shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis. "The ‘prosecute the former regime at every level’ candidate has my vote in 2028," Jennings wrote. For someone who claims to believe in democracy, calling the currently elected administration a "regime" is an interesting choice of words.

Civilisational decline happens slowly at first, and then all at once. Britain has not been this weak and irrelevant on the global stage since the early 1500s; France and Germany are facing equally severe existential crises. It took Donald Trump to call our bluff, exposing our impotence and insignificance to a world we once dominated. British and European politicians cannot stop Trump from buying Greenland, or kidnapping Latin American tyrants, or taking out the Mullahs’ evil nuclear programme, or sanctioning Left-wing international judges, or doing whatever else he wants. Eighty-one years after the end of the Second World War, the...

Sen. Rand Paul expressed concerns Sunday over President Donald Trump’s threats to bomb Iran as the Middle Eastern country sees widespread protests continue. Speaking with ABC’s “This Week,” the Kentucky Republican said he is not sure striking Iran “will have the effects intended.” “We wish freedom and liberation the best around the world, but I don’t think it’s the job of the American government to be involved with every freedom movement around the world,” Paul said.Paul also expressed concerns over how the administration would distinguish between Iranian protesters and law enforcement if Trump were to approve military action in the...

WASHINGTON — Sen. Chris Murphy said in an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that if the U.S. annexed Greenland, “it would be the end of NATO.”
