STOCKHOLM (AP) — A populist anti-immigration party has surged to become Sweden’s second-largest political force after a national election dominated by fears of gang violence, which has given the once-safe Scandinavian country one of Europe’s highest levels of gun violence. Overall, a conservative opposition bloc including the anti-immigration party, the Sweden Democrats, had an extremely narrow lead over the incumbent center-left with 94% of the votes counted. Analysts expect the final tally will confirm a conservative bloc win, but the election was so close that electoral officials said they would not have the final result until outstanding postal votes and...

Americans love tailgating; it combines our three favorite past times of eating, relying on our cars for everything and blood sport. However, while cars and tailgating go together like peas and carrots, fire is not cars’ friend. Someone should have told that to a sports fan attending the Miami Dolphins Vs. New England Patriots game at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday. Plumes of black smoke could be seen coming up from the parking lot around the second or third quarter. Police are investigating the fire but believe the event was accidental. A fan reportedly started the fire when they...

Perhaps he’d like a Pepsi? President Biden appears to have gotten rid of the Diet Coke button his predecessor, President Donald Trump, used on the resolute desk in the Oval Office. Political commentator Tom Newton Dunn on Thursday tweeted a photo of Biden behind the desk with stacks of executive orders — but the famous little red button Trump pushed to get his favorite soft drink appeared to be missing. “President Biden has removed the Diet Coke button,” Dunn wrote. “Eventually Trump pressed it, and a butler swiftly brought in a Diet Coke on a silver platter. It’s gone now.”...

Ukrainian forces to the east and southeast of Kharkiv retain the offensive initiative. Russian forces are withdrawing from the strategic hub of Izium and regrouping along a straight north-south line running just east from Kupiansk down to Izium. In the South, company-level fighting continues northeast of Kherson; neither side has made any significant gains since early last week. In response to the Kharkiv region offensive, Russian air and missile forces have attacked energy and water infrastructure throughout Eastern Ukraine and caused massive blackouts in major cities. On the basis of reported large-scale US intelligence and added advanced weapons systems assistance,...

We’ve seen things going down a very dangerous road in places like the U.K. when it comes to restrictions on free speech. As we previously reported, British police have even arrested people for a meme posted on social media because it caused someone “anxiety.” But if that wasn’t bad enough, here are South Wales Police allegedly telling James Harvey, a citizen journalist, that he should take down a post in which he used the term “illegal” and “undocumented alien” in a video because if someone sees it and takes offense, he could be pursued for a “hate crime.” How insane...

Kids are expensive and single, child-free women are taking note. New data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis showed that single women without kids pocketed $65,000 more in wealth in 2019 than single, child-free men, who has an of $57,000. Single mothers, on the other hand, had only $7,000. This is unsurprising since on average, it takes about $286,000/year to raise two children in the US according to the USDA as reported by Bankrate. These staggering figures, along with improved sex education and more financial independence among women, may correlate to the drop in US births. *Based on...

September 12, 1905, a black day in history for America! On this day, about 100 people, including Upton Sinclair, Jack London, Walter Lippman(Dir, Council on Foreign Relations), and Clarence Darrow, met in NYC, to plot the overthrow of American culture, including Christianity, and replace it with the teachings of Karl Marx. They named their new organization the Intercollegiate Socialist Society, later renamed League for Industrial Democracy. Their plan? To infiltrate the education system, and ultimately, labor unions, churches, government, and all other American institutions, to promulgate Marxist/Socialist ideas into American society. They started by organizing chapters at colleges & universities,...

Rep. Charlie Crist’s (D-FL) recent display — and praise — of divisive rhetoric is not new to his campaign trail, as a recently resurfaced video shows the Democrat speaking to supporters in Pinellas County, essentially comparing himself to Jesus and the governor to Satan. The clip, taken by an attendee at Crist’s campaign event in Pinellas on March 17, 2022, features the Democrat gubernatorial hopeful — who had yet to secure his primary victory at the time — heaping praise on Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky while making a subtle comparison to himself.

As the deputy head of Russia’s Security Council said, the current 'ultimatums' are a warm-up for kids, a preview of demands to be made in the future Russia’s current negotiating position on Ukraine is nothing but a "warm-up for kids," because the eventual demand may be total surrender of the Kiev regime, the deputy head of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said on his Telegram channel on Monday. He drew attention to the Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s statement about his refusal to conduct a dialogue with those who put forward ultimatums.

The news of municipal deputies from Russian districts signing a petition demanding Putin resigns was shared by Ksenia Torstrem, a member of the St. Petersburg municipality Semenovsky, who published the statement on Twitter.

Former President Donald Trump told staffers “I’m just not going to leave” the White House after losing the 2020 election — and even asked his Diet Coke valet for his opinion on whether he should stay put, a new book claims. The tidbits from New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman’s forthcoming tome “Confidence Man” were reported Monday by CNN, where Haberman is a contributor to on-air politics coverage. According to the book, Trump initially appeared to accept former Vice President Joe Biden’s victory, telling one adviser “we did our best” and saying to other aides that “I thought we had...

The Biden administration on Monday proposed to strengthen certain safety regulations for offshore oil and gas drilling that were loosened under the Trump administration. After the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill that killed 11 workers and released 134 million gallons of fuel into the Gulf of Mexico, the Obama administration implemented new safety regulations. In 2019, the Trump administration revised these standards, making them more industry-friendly. On Monday, the Interior Department indicated that it would further tweak the rules, although the new proposal does not appear to be identical to what was put forth during the Obama years. “The Biden-Harris...

Florida has become a “refuge of sanity in a world gone mad.” That was the assessment of Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., in remarks Saturday evening at the third National Conservatism Conference in Miami. DeSantis’ speech focused on the core theme of how Florida has become a bastion of liberty—a refuge for those seeking better governance and a freer life. He said that his state, in many ways, has gone in the opposite direction compared with many other states and the federal government. “It is said that our federalist system creates ‘laboratories of democracy’ where different states can approach things in...
