In a brief return to Britain, I was concerned to see that London has undergone a dramatic demographic change. The city of my birth is visibly more Muslim than it was even four years ago. On the Tube, I saw more hijabs than baseball caps. The Muslim niqab -- with its full face covering -- is no longer rare. For decades, Brits have not been allowed to question the wisdom of importing large numbers of people into a western society who do not share western values. (Brits who do so on social media risk going to prison). Instead, there was...

US President Donald Trump’s envoy, Keith Kellogg, on Wednesday scolded a top Russian official for stoking fears of World War Three after Trump warned President Vladimir Putin was “playing with fire” over Ukraine. -snip- US envoy Kellogg quoted Medvedev’s post and said it reckless. “Stoking fears of WW III is an unfortunate, reckless comment... and unfitting of a world power,” Kellogg said on X. “President Trump @POTUS is working to stop this war and end the killing.

The Marubo Tribe of Brazil’s Amazon has filed a defamation lawsuit in Los Angeles against The New York Times, alleging its coverage of the tribe’s first internet access portrayed them as tech-addicted and obsessed with pornography, according to the New York Post. The suit, seeking hundreds of millions in damages, also names TMZ and Yahoo for amplifying and sensationalizing the story. The article “portrayed the Marubo people as a community unable to handle basic exposure to the internet, highlighting allegations that their youth had become consumed by pornography.”

After the game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, it was alleged that Angel Reese had been subjected to hate speech and racist slurs. The league hardly waited a minute to announce a closer look into the matter. “The WNBA strongly condemns racism, hate, and discrimination in all forms — they have no place in our league or in society,” the statement had declared. So the investigation took off with information gathering from the fans, team members, and staff who were present at the game. Being a game televised by ABC, there were microphones right by the bench and even more cameras than...

Shawn Kemp, who spent the majority of his NBA career with the Seattle SuperSonics, entered a guilty plea in the 2023 shooting outside the Tacoma Mall in Washington state. The Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office confirmed that Kemp admitted to second-degree assault in the incident. The six-time NBA All-Star initially faced charges for first-degree assault with a firearm. Prosecutors later tacked on a second count of first-degree assault and a charge of drive-by shooting. If he had been convicted on the original charges, the 55-year-old could have been up against a considerably longer prison sentence. Tacoma police received a call...

Bronx Rep. Ritchie Torres urged the Capitol Police to investigate alleged threats from a baby-faced anti-Israel activist who urged support for the gunman accused of killing two Israel Embassy staffers in DC. Guy Christensen, the Keffiyeh wearing 19-year-old from Pennsylvania who uses the handle “YourFavoriteGuy,” posted a three-minute video rant on X May 22 trashing Torres as a tool of the Zionist lobby who backs genocide. “Now, Ritchie, screenshots are forever, and what you’ve said and done will haunt your family for eternity, as you will eventually, if you’re still alive, end up in a Nuremberg trial,” Christiansen said in...

"On Memorial Day, as we should every day, we remember the great heroes who gave their lives for our country, our freedom, and our security. Please take a few minutes out of your day, in a moment of silent prayer, to tell them how grateful we are to them and their families. May God bless each and every one of them. I would add that it is imperative that those of us who’ve benefited from their ultimate sacrifice do what we can to ensure that our country remains free and strong by standing on their shoulders, speaking out, defending our...

The second suspect in the alleged kidnapping and torture of an Italian bitcoin dealer inside a SoHo townhouse was seen scowling as he was remanded without bail in court Tuesday night. After he partied it up in the Hamptons over the weekend, William Duplessie appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court, where his lawyer claimed the 33-year-old crypto trader’s criminal case will “begin to unravel” when more details come out. “The facts here are hotly disputed, his involvement is hotly disputed,” attorney Sanford Talkin claimed to Judge Julieta Lozano during his nighttime arraignment hearing. Duplessie, who sported a frown at the hearing,...

Tech billionaire Elon Musk — who spearheaded the cost-cutting efforts at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — said he was “disappointed” to see the massive legislative package of Republican priorities make it through the House. “I was, like, disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit… and it undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,” Musk said in a preview of an interview set to air this weekend on “CBS Sunday Morning.” The bill — titled the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” adopting Trump’s slogan for the measure — passed the House...

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has said he wants to make it easier for people to have children, as he confirmed his party would back more generous tax breaks for married people and scrap the two-child benefit limit. In a speech in central London, Farage said he wanted to lift the cap "not because we support a benefits (welfare) culture" but because it would make things easier for lower-paid workers. If his party wins power, Farage said he would also reverse the government's cuts which saw the winter fuel payment withdrawn from 10 million pensioners. Responding to the speech, Labour...

La Brújula Verde reports that an international project led by Poland's University of Wroclaw has shed new light on the pre-Inca cultures of southern Peru. The project has focused on sites in the Atico River Valley and the adjacent Pacific coast. At the site of El Curaca, the team uncovered a cemetery of the Chuquibamba (Aruni) culture (ca. a.d. 1000–1450) consisting of collective tombs arranged in circular pits with stone-lined walls. One grave contained the remains of 24 men, women, and children who had been interred with an elaborate collection of funerary offerings, including ceramic, bone, and stone artifacts as...

President Trump’s Crypto Czar David Sacks just exposed Elizabeth Warren aka “Pocahontas” as the one running Biden’s autopen: “It wasn’t Biden. Elizabeth Warren controlled the autopen.” ... David Sacks .. What the Biden administration was doing—and let’s face it, it wasn’t Biden. Elizabeth Warren controlled the autopen during that administration. She, for some reason, has this pathological hatred of the crypto community. She wants to drive this community offshore.” ~The Vigilant Fox

A vandal at UCLA spray painted all over signs set up on the quad meant to generate a debate about the pro-life cause, according to a video of the incident posted by the group. The pro-life organization Justice For All was invited to UCLA by the school’s student pro-life club, LiveAction, to host an event “centered on promoting peaceful dialogue between pro-life and pro-choice people, and building common ground for dialogue,” a campus source told The College Fix. Members of Justice For All recorded the incident and released video footage of it on social media on Thursday. It shows a...

Former hostage Mia Schem has reported that staff at the Cannes film festival confiscated the yellow ribbon she was wearing to show solidarity with the hostages still held in Gaza. The 22-year-old, who has dual Israeli French citizenship, said that security personnel took it from her as soon as she arrived on the red carpet at the 78th annual film festival. “I came to support the struggle to bring back the hostages,” Schem told Israel’s Channel 12 News. “Unfortunately, at the entrance to the red carpet, the festival organisers confiscated the ribbon I was supposed to wear.” She said that...

During a press conference today, Governor DeSantis addressed the failure of Congress to enact one DOGE suggested cut. Elon Musk and his DOGE team found over 900 billion dollars in cuts.
