Record numbers of children are being reported to the Government's anti-extremism services for expressing 'far right' ideology. More than 2,100 under-15s were referred to Prevent in 2022/23 over fears they were being groomed by extremists or at risk of radicalisation. Of them, 462 expressed 'extreme right wing' ideologies compared with 182 'Islamist' referrals. Eighty-eight were flagged over their interest in school massacres, with six suspected 'incels' also on the list. Prevent, ran by the Home Office, aims to stop terror attacks on British streets. Officials work with local authorities and community organisations to 'support and protect vulnerable people'. But the...

Skip the bacon and those holiday hot dogs: A new study finds eating processed red meats raises your odds for dementia. Overall, just two servings per week of processed red meat was linked to a 14% rise in dementia risk, compared to folks who ate less than three servings per month. The finding made sense to Heather Snyder, vice president of medical and scientific relations the Alzheimer's Association, given what experts know about diet and the brain. "Prevention of Alzheimer's disease and all other dementia is a major focus, and the Alzheimer's Association has long encouraged eating a healthier diet...

U.S. — Democrats continued their long-standing tradition of holding whites-only gatherings this week with the new "White Dudes for Harris" campaign.The Zoom call, featuring prominent politicians and celebrities, upheld the Democratic Party's proud heritage of gathering a large group of white men together to talk about black people just like the party did for decades with the Ku Klux Klan and other whites-only meetings."We're Democrats. It's what we do," said angry white man David Hogg. "We'd be remiss if we didn't seek to carry on the age-old Democratic Party tradition of having meetings that were only for white males. It's...

Clinton’s Gimmick Shifting to Short-term Funding to Reduce Interest Expenditures. I wrote as a guest columnist for the Wall Street Journal back on April 19, 1995, dealing with an issue that seemed to go over everyone’s head. At the time, President Clinton (1993-2001) was able to balance the budget, and nobody seemed to understand how he managed to do that. Much of it concerned the shift in capital flows as capital poured into the United States, fleeing South East Asia. That led to the Asian Currency Crisis in 1997. US Interest rates rose sharply in 1994 which also was attracting...

Representative Mike Quigley (D-IL) said Wednesday on CNN’s “News Central” that former President Donald Trump used a dog whistle when he said foreign leaders would walk all over Kamala Harris if she were president. Host John Berman said, “Former President Trump, in an interview with Fox, was attacking the vice president with comments that I think there were people they found offensive. Listen to what he said. On Fox News, Trump said, “They look at her and they say we can’t believe we got so lucky. They’re going to walk all over. And I don’t want to say as to...

The presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced on Monday that it has secured ballot access in three more states and has submitted signatures for certification in nine others. The campaign will also host a ballot access briefing on Wednesday afternoon. In a press release on Monday, the Kennedy campaign announced that the ticket of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Nicole Shanahan secured ballot access in three more states, including Alaska, Indiana, and Nebraska. According to certification paperwork shared by the campaign along with the release, Kennedy will appear on the Indiana ballot under the We The People Party...

In this gripping episode, Dr. Phil delves into the life and experiences of Victor Avila, a retired special agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement

For most of his life, Sergio Covarrubias Garcia tried his best to avoid interactions with law enforcement. As a 17–year–old, Garcia prayed police wouldn’t stop the Chevy truck used to smuggle him and other undocumented men across the border. His nerves only continued. Garcia longed for officers to look away each time he drove to work or school. Despite his efforts, Garcia attracted the attention of California’s top law enforcement officer — then-Attorney General and now-presidential candidate Kamala Harris — in 2012. At the time, Garcia was enduring a yearslong and publicized struggle to become the first licensed undocumented...

The Democratic National Committee slated former President Barack Obama and President Joe Biden to speak during its convention in mid-August. It is typical for former presidents and high-profile party leaders to speak at conventions, but it is unusual for a sitting president to give a speech at a convention. Lyndon Johnson, who did not run for reelection in 1968, did not even attend the Democratic National Convention (DNC) that year. Biden, however, will speak at the 2024 DNC, presumably to defend his administration’s policies of open borders, soaring inflation, and foreign chaos. “I’ve cured the economy and the environment and...

The GOP-led House has quietly filed a rare intervention in Steve Bannon's contempt of Congress case, arguing the Democrat-led House January 6 Select Committee failed in its formation to follow chamber rules – invalidating the two subpoenas it served Bannon that he ignore and ultimately put him behind bars. The Amicus Curiae brief filed by the House General Counsel fulfills a promise from Speaker Mike Johnson in June to intervene in the case. Bannon, a former Trump White House political adviser, refused to answer two subpoenas from the committee, citing executive privilege. He was convicted and sentenced under two charges...

A federal judge in Alabama on Tuesday refused to block the Biden administration from enforcing new anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ students in four Republican-led states, breaking with six other judges who have said the rules are invalid. U.S. District Judge Annemarie Axon in Birmingham in a 122-page ruling, rejected various arguments that the four states led by Alabama made in challenging U.S. Department of Education regulations that say a federal law barring sex discrimination in education extends to gender identity. The regulations also bar harassment against LGBTQ students, such as refusing to use a transgender student’s preferred pronouns, and changes...

Singapore became the latest country to authorize insect products for human consumption, in what The Guardian described as a move that “paves the way for plates to become wrigglier, leggier and more sustainable” and as “a sign of things to come.” In an announcement on 8 July, the Singapore Food Agency said it had approved 16 insects for human consumption as food, making it the latest country to do so. The approved insects include silkworm pupa and mealworms. The European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, and other countries have also approved certain insects for human consumption, with clear labeling requirements...

Boeing named a longtime aerospace industry veteran on Wednesday as its next chief executive, who will take over a company that has been rocked by legal, regulatory and production problems. Robert “Kelly” Ortberg, a former CEO at Boeing supplier Rockwell Collins, will succeed David Calhoun as CEO and president effective Aug. 8, the company said. Calhoun announced in March that he would retire at the end of the year, and analysts generally praised the quicker transition. Boeing named its new CEO as it reported a loss of more than $1.4 billion on falling revenue during the second quarter. The loss...

The Secret Service detail assigned to Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter arrested an “anti-police watcher” during a heated altercation on a NYC sidewalk on Tuesday, video shows. Ella Emhoff, the daughter of Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, was inside a Tribeca restaurant for lunch around 12:40 p.m. when Harry Heymann– who lives around the corner — confronted her detail outside, according to cops and the clip. The 45 year old goes around the city complaining about cars that have NYPD parking placards that can park wherever instead of driving around the block, sources said.

A Washington Free Beacon report found that the Post's foreign desk employs at least six people who previously wrote for Al Jazeera, the Doha-based news outlet bankrolled in part by Qatar's government and described by an Israeli court as an "intelligence and propaganda arm" for Hamas. The Qatar-backed outlet has used work by Heidi Levine and Niha Masih, two co-authors of the Post's July 29 article, including Masih's social media posts and Levine's photos, in multiple of its articles.

VIDEORobert Barnes while recently appearing on the People's Pundit channel with host Richard Baris dropped yet more hints about the assassination attempt upon President Trump. Most shocking, if the hints are correct, is how widespread the foreknowledge of the assassination attempt was. And anybody who had such advance knowledge of the assassination attempt should be treated as a conspirator since any of them could have publicly and privately warned about the assassination attempt which they knew would be happening.Oh, and is there ANYBODY out there that still doesn't think this assassination attempt was a Deep State conspiracy?

Nine presidential candidates have filed enough signatures to appear on the New Jersey state ballot later this year, bringing the total number of potential options for New Jersey voters to eleven when factoring in the Republican and Democratic Party nominees. According to the New Jersey Globe, eight candidates filed ahead of yesterday’s deadline to appear on the ballot, including Libertarian Party nominee Chase Oliver, Party for Socialism and Liberation nominee Claudia De la Cruz, Socialist Workers Party nominee Rachele Fruit, national Constitution Party nominee Randall Terry, American Solidarity Party nominee Peter Sonski, independent candidates Robert F.

Louisiana’s major electric utilities are still pushing state regulators to allow them to charge customers for the costs of a new statewide energy efficiency program and for the electricity customers will no longer need because of that program. A large group that included Louisiana Public Service Commission staff, utility company executives, consumer advocates and other energy experts met Wednesday to evaluate bids from companies that want to oversee Louisiana’s new energy efficiency program. The LPSC’s new energy efficiency program will require certain statewide energy savings targets. Hitting those targets could require the administrator to implement things like appliance upgrades for...

As district attorney for San Francisco, Kamala Harris misappropriated over $5 million in federal grants that were intended to combat border crimes, according to a 2010 Department of Justice audit. Records show that Harris, while serving as chief prosecutor of the sanctuary city from 2004 to 2011, requested millions of dollars from the Department of Justice’s Southwest Border Prosecution Initiative. The program reimburses local prosecutors for handling "illegal immigration and drug and alien smuggling cases" referred to them by federal authorities. But a DOJ inspector general audit report found that none of the cases that Harris’s office filed for reimbursement...
