The law is not yet final. EU countries must negotiate the final rules with the European Parliament, which is still debating its position. The EU wants to phase out Russian energy imports to deprive the Kremlin of...

Another day, another mostly peaceful leftist. The crime took place in early September and police extradited a suspect, Benjamin Campbell, from his Georgia home in early October. Police say Campbell was driving past the Paddle Inn Rafting Company on Highway 19 West in the Nantahala River Gorge on the afternoon of September 6th when he saw a Trump flag on the property.

The trucking company involved in a deadly drowsy driving crash on Interstate 20 near Dallas over the summer had its insurance canceled this week. Trucking company Hope Trans had their insurance cancelled on October 8th, rendering them legally unable to operate further.

Truck driver Alexis Osmani Gonzalez-Companioni is currently in jail on a $2.25 million...

Ukrainian President Zelenskiy’s latest White House visit to secure Tomahawk missiles reportedly devolved into a contentious “shouting match” with President Trump. According to anonymous sources, Trump, fresh off a phone call with Vladimir Putin, made a stunning reversal. He allegedly pressured Zelenskiy to surrender the entire Donbas region, warning that Putin would “destroy” Ukraine otherwise. Trump was said to have cursed, tossed aside battlefield maps, and repeated Russian talking points verbatim, including calling the conflict a “special military operation.”

Ukraine may import gas worth around $2 billion from Europe, the United States, and Azerbaijan this winter, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, after its gas infrastructure was severely damaged by Russian attacks. He did not specify how much gas Ukraine planned to purchase. Kyiv had expected to import 4.6 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas before a series of Russian strikes hit Ukraine's gas sector earlier this autumn. Due to the damage, energy minister Svitlana Hrynchuk said imports would need to be increased by 30%, while analysts estimated total gas import requirements at no less than 6.3 bcm. "We expect that...

The mayor of a picturesque city has warned homeowners they could soon lose their properties after a Canadian court ruled the land belongs to a native tribe.

It all started about a year ago when my 1st Amendment Rights were violated by the Springfield City Council. I asked for a Public Apology through the Lawyer I worked with at ACLJ. Never received any apology. Time has passed. On Charlie Kirks Birthday, I decided to do what Charlie Kirk would do and speak truth to Power. I will post the video.

California is adding a new holiday to its calendar. On Monday, Oct. 6, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 268 into law, making California the third state to designate Diwali — the Hindu festival of lights — as an official statewide holiday. “Diwali, a festival of great significance to Indian Americans and South Asian Americans, is celebrated annually by Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, and Jains throughout the United States and across the globe,” the bill says. Also known as Deepavali, Diwali is “one of the most sacred festivals in Hindu Dharma traditions” celebrated by “more than a billion people around the...

It takes a considerable amount of hubris to smugly confess multiple felonies to your adoring online fans—and everyone else, but it's Oregon, where people so certain of their righteous beliefs believe there will be no repercussions for their lawbreaking. Such is the case with this Hillsboro couple, Kiley and Karim Delgado, who own The 649, a tap house and restaurant. The 649 name is a slang term that means everything from taking shots of booze to taking a chance on the lottery. The couple identifies multiple times as "Antifa" on their Facebook page and not in the humorous way the...

After California legislators and Gov. Gavin Newsom recently made Diwali a state holiday, Sacramento Vice Mayor Karina Talamantes said local leaders and community members had a request: “Can we please do a resolution at City Council?” Talamantes said. “This is historic, this is huge.” On Tuesday, she, Mayor Kevin McCarty and Councilmember Mai Vang, will do just that to honor the religious celebration. “It’s such a big celebration of culture, diversity,” Talamantes said. The holiday is a major event in India, particularly for followers of Hinduism and Sikhism, and is marked by candle and lamp lighting to symbolize light over...

Conservative shareholders at eight major corporations have filed resolutions urging those companies to stop using politicized tools like the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate map,” which added Turning Point USA a few months before the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The Heritage Foundation and portfolio manager David Bahnsen, which have held thousands of dollars in shares at each of the companies, filed the proposals last week. “The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated October as Hate Crimes Awareness Month—but few organizations have sown more hatred against fellow Americans than the SPLC itself,” Heritage Chief Advancement Officer Andrew Olivastro told The Daily...

On Sept. 11, Michigan representatives proposed an internet content ban bill unlike any of the others we've seen: This particularly far-reaching legislation would ban not only many types of online content, but also the ability to legally use any VPN.

It also seeks to ban all use of VPNs, foreign or US-produced. VPNs (virtual private networks) are suites of software often...

Jackie Norris, the chairwoman of the Des Moines Public School Board who once served as chief of staff to Michelle Obama, has pulled out of the race for Iowa's open U.S. Senate seat as recommended by her Republican opponent, Rep. Ashley Hinson. Hinson stressed earlier this month that Norris, a champion of DEI, had "lost all shreds of credibility" over the role she played in the hiring of the Des Moines district's former superintendent, a criminal illegal alien who was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Sept 26. Ian Andre Roberts, a native of Guyana, has a lengthy...
