Bavaria's interior minister already said last year: “The crime statistics make it clear that uncontrolled immigration also has a negative impact on the security situation” ... Foreign nationals are significantly more likely to be identified as suspects in Bavaria than German citizens, according to a report from the Bavarian state government in response to a parliamentary inquiry by AfD member Martin Böhm. The suspect burden number (TVBZ), a key metric, indicates the number of suspects per 100,000 people within a population group aged eight and over. This figure allows for a comparison of crime levels across different demographic segments. Overall,...

(LifeSiteNews) — A leading and highly influential Catholic site, Messa in Latino, was deleted by Google on Friday for alleged and unspecified violations of its “hate speech” policy. In a brief email sent from blogger.com, run by Google, the editors of Messa in Latino (MIL) were informed that the site had been taken offline with immediate effect.

When the German state fails to protect the youth, some citizens are taking defense into their own hands, even as the police warn against such an action ... The small German town of Harsefeld is grappling with a severe breakdown of public order, as a youth gang’s reign of terror has led to hospitalizations, extortion, and drug dealing. The situation has become so desperate that citizens are being forced to form a vigilante patrol group, highlighting a perceived failure of the state to protect its own people. What was once a tranquil Lower Saxon town has now become a hotbed...

Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

I am on my way back from Texas, and watched in disbelief as THUGS were violently throwing rocks and bricks at ICE Officers while they were moving down a roadway in their car,' Trump posted Friday evening on Truth Social. 'Therefore, I am directing Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, and Border Czar, Tom Homan, to instruct all ICE, Homeland Security, or any other Law Enforcement Officer who is on the receiving end of thrown rocks, bricks, or any other form of assault, to stop their car, and arrest these SLIMEBALLS, using whatever means is necessary to do so,' he...

Even with the removal of dozens of buildings, at least 12 structures at Camp Mystic Guadalupe were fully within FEMA's 100-year flood plain ... Federal regulators repeatedly granted appeals to remove Camp Mystic's buildings from their 100-year flood map, loosening oversight as the camp operated and expanded in a dangerous flood plain in the years before rushing waters swept away children and counselors, a review by The Associated Press found. The Federal Emergency Management Agency included the prestigious girls' summer camp in a “Special Flood Hazard Area” in its National Flood Insurance map for Kerr County in 2011, which means...

New York Attorney General Letitia James announced late last week that her office had convicted 36 members of an organized retail crime ring, including its leader, Roni Rubinov. James’ office said Rubinov and the ring he oversaw stole, then resold, millions of dollars’ worth of goods in the New York City area between 2017 and 2022. During an investigation, the attorney general’s office’s Organized Crime Task Force (OCTF) and the New York City Police Department (NYPD) retrieved over $3.8 million worth of stolen goods, more than $300,000 and over 550 stolen gift cards from Rubinov. James said the ring negatively...

Queen Victoria and John Brown were lovers, according to Channel 4, which says it has uncovered 'extraordinary' new evidence of the monarch's secret affair. The British monarch of 63 years, from 1837 to 1901, was widely known to have been extremely fond of her Scottish servant. But revelations about long-held rumours they were more than just fast friends are now set to come out in a new documentary, due for release on July 31.

A controversial reality star and influencer has raised eyebrows after seemingly backflipping on her muslim faith, less than one year after converting to Islam. The 33-year-old, who stars on VH1's Basketball Wives, converted last August and completely transformed her image in the process. The former Instagram model ditched her signature scantily-clad ensembles for conservative muslim garb, including a hijab and oversized clothing that hid her Insta-famous curves. At one point, she even covered up her entire face except for her eyes. But last month, she suddenly started dressing provocatively again, leading longtime fans to suspect that she'd ditched her Muslim...

“When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes” (Matthew 7:28–29). The response to the best and most astounding preaching ever—the Sermon on the Mount—was in itself very remarkable. Likely some among our Lord’s audience that day believed in Him for salvation. But quite probably the number converted was small, affirming Jesus’ assertion about the narrow gate: “there are few who find it” (Matt. 7:14). The verb translated “were amazed” means to be struck out of oneself, or to be beside oneself...

Sir Thomas More's head could be exhumed 500 years after it was parboiled and put on a spike on London Bridge. St Dunstan's, an Anglican church in Canterbury, Kent, where the remains of Henry VIII's lord chancellor lie, has launched a bid to have them unearthed and placed in a shrine. More was beheaded at Tower Hill in 1535 after he refused to acknowledge the monarch as head of the church following Henry's break from Rome.

“‘The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. . . . The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against the house; and it fell—and great was its fall’” (Matthew 7:25, 27). Everyone’s religion, whether true or false, will be tried one day. That test will determine with great finality who are the wheat and who are the tares—in other words, the unredeemed will be revealed from the redeemed. When the storm of...

Mohammad Younesi has been in ICE detention in Texas for nearly a year and faces deportation to AfghanistanIt's difficult for Shafiqa Jalali to talk about her son Mohammad Younesi without crying. Jalali, her husband, their four adult children and daughter-in-law all found asylum in Canada after fleeing the Taliban's rule in Afghanistan in 2024. The family secured humanitarian visas from Brazil and paid human smugglers thousands of dollars to guide them by land through 10 countries, including Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, as well as the Darién Gap, a 100-kilometre stretch of jungle connecting North and South America that's considered one of...

Ghada* was 15 when she fell pregnant with her third child. For three years, she had been married to an older man - a man her father had paired her with out of perceived necessity. 'My family is poor,' she explained. Her father 'accepted the first proposal for the marriage that came to him, not only for me but for my sisters, not caring that we were only children'.

Daily Readings from the USCCB“What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light; what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.” Matthew 10:27What is it that our Lord speaks to you in the “darkness” and what is it that you “hear whispered” by Him? This is an important question to consider, since whatever it is that is spoken that way must be spoken “in the light” and proclaimed “on the housetops.” Recall that when people first came to Jesus, curious about Him, He would often speak in a veiled way, in figures of speech and in parables....

Fuel to the engines of the Air India plane involved in a deadly crash was cut off moments after take-off, a preliminary investigation report has found. In recovered cockpit voice recordings, the report said one of the pilots can be heard asking "why did you cut off?" - to which the other pilot replied he "did not do so". The London-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed less than a minute after taking off on 12 June from Ahmedabad airport in western India, killing 260 people, most of them passengers. One British national miraculously survived the crash. The investigation led by India's...

Tucker hits conservatives for taking fake victory laps: "You spend all day telling me that it's so important that boys not play on girls soccer teams or whatever. I agree. But I don't know, it kind feels like you're feeding me appetizers. At some point, I want to look around and see a better country. I want to see a country I recognize. I don't want to see people sleeping on the sidewalk. I don't want to see people ODing on drugs. I want to know where those drugs are coming from. Why can't you stop it? You've got the...
