Reform UK is pledging mass deportations of asylum seekers who arrive in the UK in small boats. The party's leader - Nigel Farage - has told The Times that there is a "massive crisis" in the UK, which threatens national security and could lead to public disorder. Under the plans, people could be arrested on arrival, detained on disused RAF bases and, if agreements were reached, returned to Afghanistan, Eritrea and other countries that are significant sources of arrivals. Many of these measures could face legal challenges and political opposition. Labour has branded them "pie in the sky", while the...

A school board meeting in California descended into explosive debate after a girls' volleyball team forfeited to an opponent with a transgender player. The players on the Riverside Poly High School girls' volleyball team chose to forfeit last Friday's game against Jurupa Valley High School. Multiple parents previously told Fox News Digital the forfeit was in response to the presence of trans athlete AB Hernandez on the Jurupa Valley team. Local parents showed up to the Riverside Unified School District board meeting on Thursday to speak out in support of the girls who forfeited and against the school district for...

The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee was sworn into his new leadership role earlier this week by former Vice President Kamala Harris – one of the key ex-White House officials the panel’s chair is interested in hearing from in its probe of President Joe Biden. Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., was elected to serve as ranking member of the committee in June, following the death of former ranking member Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va. Harris, who swore Garcia in as mayor of Long Beach in 2014 when she was California’s attorney general, reprised that role on Wednesday in a ceremonial...

The Democrat Party gets weirder every day. There was a time when most of the Democrats I knew were tradesmen, roughnecks, farmers, and union guys. They were tough dudes, often veterans, and told some of the bawdiest jokes I’ve ever heard. Now Democrats can’t define what a dude is; they want to wokify the military into some gaudy pageant for drag queens who fear guns; and they’ve replaced “politically incorrect” humor with stern lectures. No wonder American men are fleeing the Democrat Party like it’s a sexually transmitted disease. Speaking of STDs, one of the Democrat lectures that Americans are...

An illegal immigrant accused of attempting to kill a woman in a “twisted” caught-on-video “version of Russian roulette” in Venezuela wept like a baby as the feds collared him on the streets of Texas, The Post can reveal. Illegal migrant Raul Enrique Pargas Rodriguez, 31, fled Venezuela after trying to murder the helpless woman, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told The Post. Pargas Rodriguez crossed the Texas border illegally on Aug. 10, 2022, and was quickly released by overwhelmed border agents under the Biden administration, who had no information on his dark past. The Maduro regime wasn’t sharing information with...

Saturday marks the 86th anniversary of the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, an agreement concluded between Moscow and Berlin that would effectively lead to the carve up of Poland and condemn the world to six years of war. In hindsight, it is abundantly clear that a major global conflict had long been brewing, however, it was the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact that is now viewed as the final treachery that would lead to war. While, in essence, the pact was billed as a non-aggression agreement between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, it contained a secret annex that divided...

In Britain, the interplay of handed-down ethnic conflict, contemporary issues such as rape gangs, and institutional submission to Islam has created a polarized society on the brink of civil war. In historical times, the British Isles were first inhabited by Celts. Then they were invaded by Romans who withdrew after a few hundred years. Anglo-Saxons immediately replaced the departing southerners, landing in droves on the English east coast. Vikings also crossed the North Seas and tried their luck, gradually integrating with the natives. Finally, the isles were conquered by Normans — a third Germanic wave. England and the rest of...

A maniac threw gasoline on cops and set fire to a decommissioned police precinct in the Bronx early Friday morning using a gas-filled Coca-Cola bottle, according to sources and the NYPD. Samantha Calderon, 32, of the Bronx, was witnessed by two police officers allegedly pouring gasoline on a decommissioned stationhouse on Alexander Avenue at around 2:30 a.m., according to sources.

When confronted, Calderon became combative and threw gasoline from the bottle of Coke onto the officers, hitting them in the...

Two seemingly normal Los Angeles hardware stores were actually elaborate fronts for a massive cargo theft operation that netted $4.5 million worth of stolen goods ripped off from trains, trucks and cargo ships, police said. DJ General Tool & Wire’s Montebello and Huntington Park locations served as distribution centers for an organized crime ring that targeted valuable merchandise from across Southern California’s transportation network, according to the LAPD.

Store owner Dojoon Park, 41, of Montebello, was...

The Russian warlord and businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin looked “doomed” after his failed mutiny and told his mother he expected to die in the days before his private plane crash. Prigozhin, the founder of the notorious Wagner mercenary group, died when his business jet went down in the summer of 2023, two months after his fighters briefly seized control of the southern city of Rostov-on-Don and advanced towards Moscow in a short-lived rebellion against Russia’s military leadership. “When I last saw him, he looked doomed,” said Violetta Prigozhina, 85, in an interview with the Russian outlet Fontanka, recalling the last meeting...

WASHINGTON — A mob of rioters ambushed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in San Francisco, with one knife-wielding, keffiyeh-clad agitator threatening to “stab” one of the feds and “go after” his family, according to a criminal complaint filed Thursday. Adrian Guerrero was charged with assaulting an officer and destruction of property over the alleged Wednesday attack on ICE officers in the Enforcement Removal Operations division, federal prosecutors said. “I’m going to f--- you up,” Guerrero seethed while allegedly wielding a black knife and wearing what appeared to be a black-and-white checkered keffiyeh headscarf and orange-tinted goggles, according to photos in...

“We had so much money it was hard to get it out the door,” a Kamala ally said after the election even as her campaign was still sending out texts to donors begging them to send more cash. “Hi Team, It’s Kamala, The election isn’t what we wanted, but I will never give up the fight,” a post-election text message solicited donors to replace all the money that went out the door. In Jan 2025, even as President Trump was preparing for his inauguration, the ‘Harris Fight Fund’ was still milking recurring donations even though there was nothing left to...

More than 50 consultants at Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) have called on the State to stop using medicines manufactured by an Israeli company where “viable alternatives” are available. Teva Pharmaceuticals, an Israeli multinational, is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of generic and specialist drugs. The company, which makes Sudocrem, has a big presence in Ireland and is one of the largest suppliers of generic medicines to the HSE. Teva said any boycott of its medicine could “impose a risk on the health and wellbeing” of patients. …

After arguing that Washington DC crime rates were not excessive, Democrats were outraged that the increase in federal law-enforcement efforts in the city has significantly reduced crime. "Since national guard troops and federal law-enforcement officers began patrolling the streets crime has sharply declined," President Trump declared. "This last week was the first week without a homicide in as long as anyone can remember. Carjackings decreased by 83%, robberies by 46%, and overall violent crime is down 22%. I'm thinking that a similar approach for other high-crime cities would be effective." DC Attorney General Brian Schwalb claimed "the deployment of more...

“A woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak; for she was saying to herself, ‘If I only touch His garment, I will get well.’ But Jesus turning and seeing her said, ‘Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well.’ At once the woman was made well” (Matthew 9:20–22). When the godly Sir James Simpson was on his deathbed, a friend said to him, “Well, James, soon you will be able to rest on the bosom of Jesus.” But Simpson replied, “I don’t know that...
