“The people will feel they have no option than to take action into their own hands” A retired British Army Colonel is warning that he believes a civil war in the country is now inevitable because politicians are unwilling to take meaningful actions to fix societal collapse. Colonel Richard Kemp, who has served on the Joint Intelligence Committee and the Cabinet Office crisis centre COBRA, urges that an alliance “of the hard left and Islamist extremists” will clash with broadly conservative British people and that it will lead to widespread prolonged unrest. Kemp suggests that “together with other causes,” these...

It was the belle of the slime-ball. A fisherman — who happens to be a woman — elicited eeews and aaahs online after catching a mondo 11-pound sea slug off the coast of South Korea, which she captured in a video with 20 million views online. “We have never seen such a huge one,” Tatiana Lyu, the angler who bagged the mammoth mollusk last month, told Jam Press. She and her crew had reportedly sunk a bait bag and were reeling it in when they noticed the supersize slimebag clinging to the end of the line. In the footage, the...

Queens activists are demanding the FBI investigate the “foreign national” crime syndicates turning seedy Roosevelt Avenue into a “gangland” — claiming the criminals pose a national security threat. “We request that you initiate an investigation into what we understand are gangs engaging in criminal enterprises including human trafficking, illegal narcotics sales and the mass distribution of fraudulent documents which poses a national security threat,” wrote Rosa Sanchez, head of the Restore Roosevelt Avenue Coalition, and Democratic district leader Hiram Monserrate in an Aug. 14 letter to FBI Director Kash Patel. Federal intervention is required because state and local laws are...

A Louisiana man was arrested after allegedly hijacking a construction crane and blocking traffic on an interstate — triggering a series of car crashes that left two people injured and led to a prolonged road closure, according to authorities. Matthew Vincent, 37, of Vinton, was taken into custody Saturday after police received multiple reports of cars crashing into a work zone around 5:30 a.m. on Interstate 10 near Louisiana Highway 108, Louisiana State Police said in a news release.

Former FBI Director James Comey confessed in a strange video Sunday that Taylor Swift has been his family’s soundtrack — and a source of life advice on handling bullies. He also took swipes at President Donald Trump while bragging about a family "Swiftie" group chat and talking about how he blasts "Tay Tay" while mowing the lawn. Comey opened by accusing Trump of humiliating America alongside Vladimir Putin, calling it "a bad dream you can’t wake up from." "I’m in a family’s Switie group chat. I know all her music and I listen to it in my headphones when I...

As we know, Grabbin' Noisome is planning a special election to return the power to draw Congressional districts to the State Legislature. Anybody with functioning brain cells knows that the only way to win that special election would be an epic level of ballot fraud and manipulated vote counting. To the former (and this might help nationwide), Trump could instruct the Postal Service to refuse to process mail-in ballots without sending them certified mail in order to guarantee a chain of custody. That takes a signature and voter ID if Trump specifies it. I just want to see the meltdown...

There was a video that made the rounds a few days ago, and I can’t get it out of my mind. In some ways, it’s a garden-variety video of a crazy lady. What makes it memorable is that it’s being framed as the quintessential “leftist Karen.” That raises an interesting question: Does leftism make women crazy, or are crazy women drawn to leftism? The question sounds simple, but it actually has serious implications for American society. The video shows a woman chasing after a man because he violated her standards by having a purebred dog, from which she inferred that...

A shocking act of arson has devastated the small parish church in El Pozuelo, a village within the municipality of Albuñol, Granada. On Sunday, August 17, a 21-year-old man of Moroccan origin was arrested after allegedly setting fire to the building, leaving its interior badly damaged and the local community shaken.

Flames quickly spread through the nave and sacristy, destroying benches, textiles, and much of the wooden structure. Neighbours rushed to the scene and attempted...

Special envoy Steve Witkoff says the White House extracted critical wins from its Friday summit with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, even as President Donald Trump failed to walk away with the ceasefire he was loudly advocated for. Security guarantees offering Ukraine “Article 5-like protections” are the real prize, Witkoff told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday. They’re “game-changing,” he said. “We didn’t think that we were anywhere close to agreeing to Article Five protection from the United States in legislative enshrinement within the Russian Federation, not to go after any other territory when the peace deal is codified,” Witkoff said on...

Beneath red banners and a gold bust of revolutionary leader Ho Chi Minh in Hanoi’s central party school, Communist Party chief To Lam declared the arrival of “a new era of development” late last year. The speech was more than symbolic— it signaled the launch of what could be Vietnam’s most ambitious economic overhaul in decades. Vietnam aims to get rich by 2045 and become Asia’s next “tiger economy” — a term used to describe the earlier ascent of countries like South Korea and Taiwan. The challenge ahead is steep: Reconciling growth with overdue reforms, an aging population, climate risks...
