BAGHDAD, IRAQ — In just the last two years, Baghdad has transformed. Traffic flows unimpeded through the former Green Zone. A new highway abuts the Tigris River in the heart of the city. Overpasses and elevated highways now cross Baghdad’s infamous traffic circles. The multibillion-dollar U.S. Embassy once dominated the shore of the Tigris River; now high-rise apartments dwarf it. Big name hotels — the Movenpick, the Rixos — are nearing completion and will soon cater to the hundreds of businessmen coming through Baghdad daily for their share of the deals the country is looking to sign.In Washington, partisans and...

Forget your TikTok influencers and Ibiza super-clubs. Sweden’s hottest DJ is an 81-year-old great-grandmother who refuses to slow down the beat.

Jalen Carter’s first game of the Eagles’ new season was over before the first defensive snap. With Philadelphia trainers addressing an injury after the opening kickoff, Carter, the star defensive lineman, walked up to Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and appeared to spit on his chest. Carter received an unsportsmanlike penalty and was ejected just six seconds into the game, with Eagles chief security officer Dom “Big Dom” DiSandro escorting him off the field as the NBC broadcast reacted in shock at how the first game of the NFL season began.

CBS News was unable to determine...

A massive coalition to overturn the Supreme Court’s ill-conceived 2015 ruling instituting same-sex “marriage” was announced yesterday night in Washington D.C. While LGBT activists and their woke allies have for decades asked, “How does my gay marriage affect you?” the panelists at the National Conservatism conference (NatCon 5) answered resoundingly, “In the worst way possible” when it comes to kids. For years, homosexual activists have portrayed themselves as victims of heteronormative culture as they sought to establish the right to legally marry, to obtain children, and to claim an array of additional LGBT imagined “rights.” They argued that there would...

Back during the first Trump administration I , with others, provided some background research into Transgenders in the Military. The purpose was to provide think-tank style considerations to high ranking leadership to then provide to political leadership for President Trump in his eventual decision to restrict Transgendered people from military service. He ultimately decided to do so for solid reasons. President Biden reversed it as a matter of doing so because anything Trump did was to be reversed and no amount of sound reasoning would sway him. Trumps second administration has definitively changed that and I am confident it will...

The mystery surrounding local elections in Germany’s North Rhine–Westphalia province deepens as two more politicians from the right-wing anti-immigration Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) were reported dead unexpectedly, just days before the vote.

Moreover, German outlet Die Welt wrote that in addition to these six cases, Hans-Joachim Kind, a direct AfD candidate in Kremenholl, a district in southern Remscheid, also died shortly before...

If you’ve ever tried to buy tickets to a major concert or sporting event, you know the scam. You spend hours in a “virtual queue,” only to watch tickets vanish in seconds. Scalpers and bots scoop up thousands, then flip them for double or triple the price. Fans refresh their browsers over and over, while Ticketmaster and its parent company, Live Nation, pocket the profits. It’s a racket, and for decades the people who keep live entertainment alive — ordinary fans — have paid the price. Fans don’t want excuses. They want a system that works for them, not one...

President Donald Trump on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to allow him to fire...
