Nigel Farage will tell his fledgling party on Friday to prepare for power as soon as 2027 – as he warns the financial markets could foreclose on Labour's spendthrift Government and force an early election. Mr Farage, whose Reform UK has topped the polls for months, will issue the alert in a speech to his annual conference (convention) in Birmingham. In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail ahead of the conference, the former City trader highlighted the rising borrowing costs being forced on Labour by sceptical financial markets. And he predicted that a new party formed by Jeremy Corbyn...

It is something like central heating for north-west Europe: the North Atlantic circulation ensures that the winters are milder than elsewhere in northern latitudes. It brings warm water from the tropics up to the North Atlantic in the upper ocean layers. The warm surface of the sea in front of the European coasts heats up the atmosphere. This mild air flows to us and ensures a temperate climate. However, there are increasing indications that climate change is turning this heating off slowly but irrevocably. The Atlantic current is one of the tipping points of the global climate system - among...

He told the Senate Finance Committee that Susan Monarez told him she was not ‘trustworthy.’Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he fired Susan Monarez from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention because she told him she was not “trustworthy.”Kennedy’s comments came in response to questions from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) during a Thursday hearing before the Senate Finance Committee about the agency’s plans. Warren had asked the secretary why he decided earlier this month to abruptly fire Monarez, then the CDC’s director, who was confirmed by the Senate in late July.“I told her she had to resign because...

A recent survey of AI and labor data by a team of researchers at Stanford's Digital Economy Lab uncovered some of the first comprehensive evidence that the AI industry really is throwing the job market into flux. The scholars compiled three years of payroll records on millions of US workers at tens of thousands of businesses, allowing them to identify long-term trends according to jobs and age groups. Their first finding was a dramatic decline in employment for entry-level knowledge workers aged 22 to 25 years old, whose occupations are at the highest theoretical risk for automation — a metric...

A company owned by Tim Mynett, the multimillionaire husband of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), failed to pay its fair share of taxes in 2021, according to a tax lien obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. Mynett's company, EStreetCo, accumulated nearly $206,000 in unpaid income, Social Security, and Medicare taxes in 2021, the IRS charged in a tax lien filed against the company in Sonoma County, Calif., in January 2023. Omar, who introduced legislation in February to "make corporations pay their fair share," was married to Mynett when the IRS says the company failed to pay its taxes. In her...

The war of words between the Church of England and Reform UK over migration policy is set to intensify after a bishop who clashed with Nigel Farage said religious leaders must be “courageous” in speaking out politically. Church leaders are “not going to cease” denouncing migration policies that lack “compassion” and inflame community tensions because people appreciate archbishops and bishops intervening, the Bishop of Oxford, the Right Rev Steven Croft, has said. “I think we have a responsibility to speak out and particularly just try to offer a global perspective and to offer a perspective on behalf of the poor...

~Favorite Dirt Songs~ Florida Georgia Line - Dirt*Video*

"When You're Hot, You're Hot" is a 1971 crossover single written and recorded by Jerry Reed. The song was his most successful on the country chart, peaking at number one for five weeks. The song describes an illegal game of craps being played in a back alley. The singer is having a streak of good luck against his two friends, winning several games in a row. In the second verse, a police officer discovers the game, arrests the participants and "take(s) all that money for evidence". Now the singer uses the same words to acknowledge his predicament, telling the...

FIRST ON FOX: President Donald Trump will sign an executive order Friday to alter the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War, reverting to the agency’s former namesake, Fox News Digital has learned.

National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Center for Health Equity Dr. Chris T. Pernell shouted down conservative podcaster Ben Ferguson on Wednesday during a panel discussion about COVID-19. The House Oversight Committee’s Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released its report in December 2024 detailing how the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) allowed the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) to interfere with school reopening guidance and parrot false statements about masking and vaccines. As Ferguson pointed out the CDC’s errors after “CNN NewsNight” host Abby Phillip claimed Florida’s end to vaccine mandates would “pull the rug” from...

[Catholic Caucus] Sr. Jeannine Gramick asks: Will actions affirm Pope Leo's words on LGBTQ+ people?A worshipper prays prior to the annual "Pre-Pride Festive Mass" at St. Francis of Assisi Church in New York City June 29, 2024.

His visits to prisoners in Rome and other countries; to migrants on...

Political Junkie’s Advanced AI Review of the Federal Circuit Court’s Rejection of President Trump’s Tariffs Below is another Perplexity Pro AI discussion about emerging news. This time, I had the AI analyze the decision by the Federal Circuit Court that declared that President Trump had no delegated authority to issue his sweeping tariffs using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). As has happened before, the AI starts with the mainstream opinion, and then is slowly moved to an opposite opinion once the facts are more deeply explored. As usual, this is a VERY LONG thread, as it explores...

Back in the 90s, few voices rang louder in evangelical youth groups than Ray Boltz. Choirs sang his ballads, even parents wept at his lyrics, and GMA Dove Awards were stacked on his shelf. His song, "Thank You," captured the imagination of a generation. "The Anchor Holds" gave solace to broken men. And in 1994, he took home Inspirational Song of the Year (at the GMA Dove Awards) for "I Pledge Allegiance to the Lamb," a declaration of costly discipleship that echoed through sanctuaries like a modern creed. “I pledge allegiance to the Lamb With all my strength, with all...

The truth is that Mayor Pin Head and Gov. Fat Boy don’t really care about black and brown people who are the true victims of violent crimes. They care about the Chicago Teachers Union. They care about shielding Democrat boss Toni Preckwinkle, the Cook County Board President and Cook County Democrat chairman. Boss Toni is a hard leftist protected by the corrupt corporate legacy media. She is without a doubt the architect of Chicago’s anarchy of crime. The Democrats are now the pro-criminal party. They are eager to defund police and clear out the county jail that Boss Toni considers...

Former President Joe Biden sparked concern after he was seen with a massive gash on his head while greeting people in Delaware. Shocking footage, shared by Inside Edition, showed the frail 82-year-old sporting the bandaged head wound while leaving a church in Rehoboth. Biden recently underwent Mohs surgery, a procedure used to treat skin cancer, his rep told The Post Thursday.

Best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell is revising his take on transgender athletes, saying he's ashamed of his previous comments supporting trans women in sports. Gladwell, 62, divulged his amended point of view on the hot-button issue during a podcast Tuesday, insisting "trans women have no place" competing with athletes assigned female at birth. "If we did a replay of that exact panel at the Sloan conference this coming March, it runs in exactly the opposite direction," Gladwell said. "And it would be, I suspect, near unanimity in the room that trans athletes have no place in the female category. I don't...

Jeff had this earlier today, but it’s a long time coming for some groups. The Justice Department is mulling banning gun ownership for those who identify as transgender. It goes beyond the horrific mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis that occurred on August 27, where two kids were shot and killed, with another 17 injured. Since 2020, 40 percent of mass shooters, or would-be mass shooters, have been identified as transgender or suspected of being one. If those clamoring for government to “do something,” this is a good first step: A DOJ source told the Daily Wire that...
