Donald Trump has imposed a hefty 50% tariff on Indian goods, a move prompted by India's continued purchase of Russian oil. This action endangers over half of India's exports to its biggest market. According to New Delhi, the tariffs that come into effect today (Wednesday, August 27) will impact £35.8billion ($48.2bn) worth of exports. Initially, the US President announced a 25% tariff on Indian goods. However, earlier this month, he signed an executive order for an additional 25% tariff in response to India's purchases of Russian oil. This brings the total tariffs levied by the United States on its ally...

Denmark’s foreign minister had the top U.S. diplomat in the country summoned for talks after the main national broadcaster reported Wednesday that at least three people with connections to President Donald Trump have been carrying out covert influence operations in Greenland. Trump has repeatedly said he seeks U.S. jurisdiction over Greenland, a vast, semi-autonomous territory of Denmark.

Denmark, a NATO ally of the U.S., and Greenland have said the island is not for sale and condemned reports of the U.S. gathering intelligence there.

It’s the end of the Southampton girls weekend. Tony Southampton has banned short-term home rentals after crabby locals complained that weekend warriors’ all-night “ragers” were keeping them up too late and making the ritzy beachside village unbearable. The measure — passed 4-1 by the village board of trustees on Aug. 19 — sets a new two-week minimum for home rentals across the ritzy beachside locale, effectively banning weekend trips for anyone who can’t shell out for a hotel or fork over thousands of dollars typically required to hold a house for 14 days. That means Hamptons trips — which already...

Why the Term "Fakestinians" Resonates More Than Ever Since the Genocidal-Islamist October 7th Terrorist MassacreSince the October 7th Hamas-led massacre—a genocidal, premeditated assault targeting Israeli civilians—the Palestinian narrative has been increasingly exposed as manipulative, deceptive, and rooted in distortion. The term “Fakestinians” has gained traction not as an attack on individual Arabs, but as a critique of a manufactured identity and a propaganda machine that fuels violence and global misinformation. Here's why: 1. Invented National Identity Rooted in Historical RevisionismThe majority of so-called “Palestinians” are descendants of relatively recent Arab immigrants who moved into the British Mandate of Palestine during...

During a botched late-term abortion, a baby was born alive at an abortion facility in Florida. The baby’s mother desperately pleaded with abortion workers to summon help to save her child. She even got her friend to call 911. But the workers were determined that the baby should die. In April 2005, “Angele” aborted her 22-week-old preborn baby. She was in her 30s, divorced, with two children. She didn’t feel she could handle a third child. Angele chose a Florida clinic that has since been shut down, called Orlando Women’s Center. It was also referred to as the EPOC Clinic....

In the eyes of Nick Fuentes, Vice President J. D. Vance can’t possibly be the future of the Republican Party. “Vance is not going to be a racist,” Fuentes said during a livestream last week. “You can’t make me go and vote for some fatass with some mixed-race family.” Fuentes, a 27-year-old influencer with more than 730,000 followers on X, showed his audience a photo of Vance with his Indian American wife and biracial kids in front of the Taj Mahal. “How would he possibly ever say that there is an ethnic basis for American identity?” Fuentes asked, referring to...
