A Berlin housing association is scheduled to complete its latest block of social housing apartment buildings in the German capital next spring, but they are currently reserved exclusively for use by asylum seekers, it has emerged. The 128-apartment complex on Askanierring in the Spandau borough is expected to be opened by the Wohnungsbaugesellschaft Berlin-Mitte (WBM) housing association in May 2024, but will first serve around 570 refugees expected to move in indefinitely before it is available for Berliners currently on the social housing waiting list. WBM Managing Director Dormeyer recently praised the project as “contributing to the integration of refugees”...

Canadian Muslims are planning to hold a “Million Person March” to combat LGBT indoctrination in schools. On September 22, 2023, Ottawa businessman and Muslim activist Kamel El-Cheikh hopes to gather Canadians of all faiths to march against LGBT ideology being pushed on children in the nation’s schools. “I am optimistic – absolutely,” El-Cheikh told the Post Millennial in a recent interview. “You know, if [there’s] one thing that’s going to inspire Canadians from coast to coast to go down and protest, it’s the kids and their innocence and it’s families.” In recent months, El-Cheikh has led Muslim and Christian groups...

Looks like the idea of seeing Meghan Markle in the Oval Office might not be so far-fetched after all. President Biden’s sister, Valerie Biden Owens, has reportedly “endorsed” the “Suits” alum as a woman she would back for the White House, according to the Daily Mail. The Duchess of Sussex, 41, has long been rumored to have been eyeing a career in politics, with unconfirmed reports suggesting she’s been forging connections with top Democrats since quitting royal life in 2020. And it looks like Markle might have a way into 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. if she was to launch a career...

A cyberattack has caused major disruptions at hospitals in multiple U.S. states, forcing emergency rooms to close and ambulances to be rerouted. The attack targeted Calif.-based Prospect Medical Holdings, which has healthcare facilities in California, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Texas. “Upon learning of this, we took our systems offline to protect them and launched an investigation with the help of third-party cybersecurity specialists,” the company said in a statement, according to The Associated Press. “While our investigation continues, we are focused on addressing the pressing needs of our patients as we work diligently to return to normal operations as...

The defense ministers of Iran and Belarus signed agreements to increase their military cooperation, which may include the production of drones, experts warned. The agreements were announced after the visit of Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin to Tehran on July 31 and could potentially be a step toward the production of Iranian-designed drones in Belarus, ultimately benefiting Russia in its war against Ukraine. Ukrainian sources claim that Iranian engineers already visited Belarus in May to discuss the production of Shahed suicide drones, which have been frequently used by Russia in the Ukraine war, according to a report by the Foundation for...

Channel 12, a Hebrew-language news site, published an article on Sunday accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of allocating resources to a project aimed at building a third temple on the Temple Mount. The article blames Christians for bringing red heifers to Israel. The Channel 12 article cites a project by Boneh Israel, an organization that brings together Jews and Christians. In cooperation with the Temple Institute, Boneh Israel successfully imported five red calves in September to Israel from Texas for the purpose of raising them for the Biblical commandment. The red heifer was the main component in the Biblically mandated...

An official in Ukraine reported on Thursday night that two Russian officers were killed and 15 other servicemen were hospitalized after a "mass poisoning attack" that occurred during a festive event in the city of Mariupol. Petro Andryushchenko, an adviser to the mayor of Mariupol in Ukraine, reported the incident on the Telegram app and wrote that "the poisoning was carried out by Ukrainian partisans while Kremlin forces celebrated Navy Day last Sunday." According to him, "During the celebration, the officers were poisoned in one of the military facilities." The Kremlin believes that the poisoning was caused by cyanide pills...

During an interview with Bloomberg on Friday, acting Labor Secretary Julie Su claimed that “prices are lower than they were a year ago, and significantly so.” And that gas prices “continue to come down.” Host Joe Mathieu asked, “Well, so you’re clearly up on the state of the job market right now, and workers, I suspect, are too. Lower unemployment, rising wages, but those — again, those two trends come together in an inflationary way. How do you balance those two moving forward?”

Watch & share this satire that contains the legendary skit of Alex Jones as Geronimo Frost: the gay frog who loves Atrazine! AUSTIN, TX — Alex Jones has been ordered by a jury to pay $4.1 million to the frog community who sued him for defamation after the media personality and conspiracy theorist repeatedly called them “gay.” “You people don’t understand! They’ve been putting chemicals in our water that’s changing the biochemistry of the local frogs and turning ’em gay!” said a defiant Alex Jones during closing statements. “It’s a scientifically proven fact! Open your eyes!” Representatives for one of...

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), now a CNN contributor, said Friday on CNN’s “The Source” that Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R-AL) halting military promotions has given Democrats an advantage as to which political party supports the military. Anchor Kaitlan Collins asked, “Did you ever think that the defense secretary would have to issue new guidance on how Pentagon leadership is going to work because of a member of your party?”

For four years Adam Schiff lied about evidence of Russian collusion being in plain sight. While that was completely and utterly false, we've had evidence of Ukrainian collusion and Biden bribery in plain sight for several years. And I've got Biden in another fable. Biden is the head of a criminal enterprise. He was the lightning rod for getting money to flow to Hunter Biden and his partners. Hunter put Joe on the phone more than 20 times when meeting with Hunter's cronies to sell "the brand." In 2014 the State Department had determined that Burisma was engaged in corrupt...

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s administration responded Wednesday to “flat-out wrong” claims from the Mexican government that faulted the river buoy barrier for the recent deaths of two migrants attempting to cross the border. The Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs was the first to inform the public of the deaths and linked them to a buoy barrier in the Rio Grande River that Texas installed in early July to deter illegal migrant crossings. Andrew Mahaleris, a spokesperson for Abbott, responded in a statement on Wednesday claiming that the barrier had nothing to do with the tragic deaths. “The Mexican government...

The world has just gotten its first real taste of a planet that is 1.5 degrees Celsius — or 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit — hotter than preindustrial times. According to data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service, July of this year was the most scorching July on record, clocking in at somewhere between 1.5 and 1.6 Celsius hotter than the average before the widespread use of fossil fuels.

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

MRC Business Vice President Dan Schneider ripped apart the leftist media echo chamber for trying to bury the worsening bribery scandal plaguing President Joe Biden and his son Hunter. “I lived in China in 1988 and 1989 when the Tiananmen Square Massacre took place. This is just like Chinese propaganda media when everybody was told, ‘Don’t look here! Don’t look at this story! Only look at what we tell you to,’” Schneider told Fox Business’ The Evening Edit Aug. 4. Fox Business host Elizabeth MacDonald played a clip of MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski whining that the Biden scandal...

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was heavily criticized Friday after a Fox News Digital report showed she spoke twice with a top Chinese government official before the White House announced plans to tap emergency oil stocks. According to internal Department of Energy (DOE) calendars obtained by Americans for Public Trust, Granholm consulted China National Energy Administration Chairman Zhang Jianhua, a senior member of the Chinese Communist Party, Nov. 19, 2021, and two days later on Nov. 21, 2021. On Nov. 23, 2021, the White House announced a release of 50 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). “Before...

I keep hearing on the conservative news networks the comment/phrase "If only journalists would investigate the Biden's actions the American people would see what a (whatever) he is!" Well, correct me if I am wrong, but are those saying this Not Journalists? If they are not are there not a slew of independent journalists who could accomplish this? Where are the modern day Woodwards (though he was CIA) and Bernsteins? I caught Rick Leventhal on Newsmax yesterday and he said words to the effect "There ought to be journalists all over this..." well, you are a journalist, why aren't you?...

Hawaii has been one of the states with the most severe infringements on Second Amendment rights. Hawaii became a territory of the United States in 1900. Hawaii became a state in 1959. Hawaii, therefore, has no history of American laws which apply to the test established by the Supreme Court Bruen decision. History after 1900 is not allowed, and Hawaii has no history as an American territory before 1900. This did not stop the government of Hawaii from claiming Hawaii’s history as a kingdom should be used as a precedent for Hawaii’s extremely restrictive gun control laws. The Supreme Court...

When Ron DeSantis got into a car crash last week, many couldn’t help seeing a morbid irony. The governor’s botched campaign launch set the tone for a spectacular fall from grace. DeSantis was supposed to be the alternative to Trump, the more “electable,” disciplined version who would rescue the country from Joe Biden. When a candidate has to “reboot” this early, it’s a sign that it’s over. DeSantis, as they say, just doesn’t have it.>

Kyiv seeks support of publicly neutral countries as China sends envoy and Moscow says it will ‘keep an eye’ on meeting. Talks have started in Saudi Arabia to find a peaceful settlement to Russia’s war in Ukraine. Ukraine and its allies hope this weekend’s meeting of national security advisers and other senior officials from about 40 countries – but not Russia – will reach agreement on principles of how to end the conflict. Andriy Yermak, the head of the Ukrainian president’s office and his main envoy for the talks in Jeddah, said late on Friday in a television interview published...
