Germany on Friday condemned Israel’s move to regulate five communities in Judea and Samaria, part of a package of measures approved by the Cabinet in response to the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) steps against Israel. “The federal government clearly condemns the so-called legalization of Israeli outposts and the approval of new housing. Israel's policy of building settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories constitutes a serious violation of international law and undermines efforts to achieve a two-state solution,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Sebastian Fischer said at a news conference in Berlin, according to the Anadolu news agency. “The expansion of settlements endangers the...

There was chaos inside the White House on Friday as Democrat party operatives, long-time aides, and party donors came to terms with their candidate and boss spectacularly flopping in his disastrous debate with Donald Trump. A sense of foreboding set in among some Biden acolytes as they absorbed his car crash performance that has veterans of the Obama and Bill Clinton campaigns openly mulling whether he should be replaced. ‘Right now the people are all talking to each other,’ Bill Clinton guru James Carville told DailyMail.com. ‘Trust me it’s way more than the consultant class. And particularly the donor class,’...

Federal immigration authorities previously released two illegal immigrants who are now accused of killing a 12-year-old Houston girl — but a congressional report says there were plenty of detention beds available to keep in custody. The Houston Police Department last week arrested Franklin Joe Pena Ramos, 26, and Johan Jose Martinez Rangel, 22, both Venezuelan nationals, for the strangulation killing of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, several days after her body was found in a local creek. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed that both men were released into the country on the same day they unlawfully crossed the U.S.-Mexico border, but...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” former MSNBC host Chris Matthews stated that he believes President Joe Biden “thinks things are going on in this administration he doesn’t know about, that’s his problem. He’s not sure what isn’t true.” And therefore, can’t call out 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump effectively. After host Bill Maher said that Trump makes things up, Matthews stated, “Or he does it in a way that our President couldn’t catch him on it. He said last night, twice, that Social Security and Medicare are going to people in the country illegally, they...

American Airlines flight #AA174 departed late Wednesday, June 26 2024 from Raleigh/Durham for a 7-hour flight to London Heathrow. The Boeing 777-200ER (registration N756AM) climbed to 37,000 ft. But close to New York City, the crew decided to turn around following a mechanical issue. The 22-year aircraft was vectored to Charlotte due to operational reason. It landed 3 hours later at CLT Airport.

The decision could have implications for charges against Trump.. The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that the Justice Department went too far in slapping obstruction charges on hundreds of January 6 defendants. The court voted 6-3 in favor of defendant Joseph Fischer, a former police officer seeking to dismiss his charge of obstructing an official proceeding, Congress’ certification of Joe Biden’s election victory. However, the court ruled that an obstruction charge may be filed if prosecutors are able to prove that a protester was trying to stop the arrival of certificates used to count electoral votes to certify the election...

A desperate Joe Biden has hit back at the New York Times after it told him to drop out of the presidential race following his disastrous debate. The Times had previously jointly endorsed two Democratic presidential candidates Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren in 2020 instead of Biden. A senior adviser to the president told CNN: 'The last time Joe Biden lost the New York Times editorial board's endorsement, it turned out pretty well for him.' Biden would go on to win his party's nomination and defeat Trump in November 2020. But on Friday the editorial board wrote Biden 'is not...

A major US publication has debuted a devastatingly simple cover for its next issue, the day after President Joe Biden’s disastrous performance in his first debate with Donald Trump in the lead-up to November’s election. President Biden appeared to flounder in the 90-minute televised debate, frequently mumbling, trailing off his sentences and getting mocked by former US president Trump for his at-times unintelligible statements. Many US political commentators described the mood inside the Democratic Party after the debate using one word: “Panic.” That’s the word TIME Magazine has opted for too, alongside a photo of Mr Biden seemingly wandering off...

On Friday’s broadcast of “CNN NewsNight,” CNN Political Commentator and former Obama Adviser Van Jones said that Republican claims that Vice President Kamala Harris is really on the ballot are accurate and “it’s hard to imagine” the Joe Biden that “you saw yesterday” on the debate stage “making it four-and-a-half more years. And so, you do have to acknowledge, there is a high likelihood that a Joe Biden victory ultimately means Kamala Harris will be president.” Host Abby Phillip said, “This has been something that they have described as a conservative talking point, a hitjob, that she’s really the one...

As the Supreme Court term nears its close, the left is redoubling its longstanding campaign to delegitimize the High Court, slander its conservative justices, and undermine the rule of law. Just before the end of its term, the Court has not yet released its most high-profile decisions, namely Trump v. United States, in which the justices will rule on the question of presidential immunity, and Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, in which the Court is reconsidering the future of the “Chevron Deference” doctrine that holds that courts must defer to federal bureaucrats to interpret statues. But the usual suspects on...

It's fair to say that Cody Wilson, the creator of the first 3D-printed gun, is an accommodating documentary subject. The company Wilson founded, Defense Distributed, has always taken a build-in-public approach, both as a practical matter of fundraising and to frame its project — the free distribution of blueprints for personal, at-home gun manufacturing — as a fundamentally political one. Wilson is an articulate and charismatic spokesperson for this project. While he can fluently cite post-Marxist theorists to justify his anti-state provocations, there's a certain mischievous swagger behind the Baudrillard quotes. He doesn't mind playing the villain a bit. Early...

European officials had already been expressing worries in private about Biden’s focus and stamina before Thursday’s debate, with some senior diplomats saying they had tracked a noticeable deterioration in the president’s faculties in meetings since last summer. ... “The reading in Europe is that this has been an unmitigated disaster,” said Nathalie Tocci, director of the Institute of International Affairs in Rome and a former adviser to the EU’s foreign-affairs chiefs, referring to Biden’s attempts to reassure voters worried about his age.... In the hours after Thursday’s debate, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk told reporters that the Democrats have a...

You might think what you saw on Thursday night was a debate. It wasn’t. Well, technically, it was in that it had all the requisite elements to it, i.e., candidates, microphones, moderators, TV cameras, etc. Make no mistake, however. What you were watching was a highly scripted, highly choreographed Kabuki theater play that you weren’t supposed to recognize as such. Every single American with a functioning brain already knew that Joe Biden was mentally unfit for the position he held. From the stumbling to the bumbling to the mumbling, it was crystal clear to anyone looking. Despite that, we’ve been...

Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon was convicted of contempt of Congress in July 2022 for defying subpoenas from the House January 6 committee. He was sentenced to four months in prison in October 2022, but the sentence was on hold as he pursued an appeal. His appeal was rejected in May and he was ordered to report to jail by July 1. There remains plenty of controversy over the charges Bannon faced and the punishment he received, but he is due to start his sentence on Monday nonetheless. On Friday’s show, Bannon joined Megyn to discuss how he is feeling...

Italian authorities are investigating the horrifying killing of a 16-year-old Iraqi girl allegedly raped and choked to death by a fellow migrant as their boat sank 120 miles off the coast of southern Italy. The suspect, who is also from Iraq, supposedly attacked the teen in a rage after he saw his wife and daughter drown when the crowded migrant boat caught fire and capsized on June 17, the news agency AGI reported.

Barstool founder Dave Portnoy has claimed Democrats sent President Joe Biden out to the debate against former president Donald Trump because they “want to whack him.” In a video posted X, Portnoy said it was not an accident that Democrats sent Biden to debate Trump, suggesting it was part of their strategy to remove the president from the 2024 presidential ticket.
