The move is an apparent attempt to capitalise on the continent’s growing rift with the United States. On Tuesday, Sir Keir Starmer became the latest leader to travel to Beijing after Mark Carney and Petteri Orpo, the prime ministers of Canada and Finland. In a meeting with Mr Orpo on Tuesday, the Chinese president said China and Europe were “partners, not adversaries” and invited Finnish companies to “swim in the vast ocean of the Chinese market”. He also appeared to snub Donald...

U.S. — Seemingly at a loss as to how to solve the ongoing problems originating from the North Star State, everyone else in the United States reached a joint agreement to post Minneapolis on Craigslist for $50 or best offer. The Somali fraud scandal, recent riots, violent anti-ICE clashes, and the overall negative effect of just being the city of Minneapolis combined to impact the American people's decision to put the city up for sale at a significantly reduced price. "Motivated to sell ASAP," the Craigslist listing read. "Used northern city looking for new home. Cleaning out the country and...

Keep on printing money. It seems that home price growth requires The Fed to keep printing money.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF MODERN LEFTISM Almost everyone will agree that we live in a deeply troubled society. One of the most widespread manifestations of the craziness of our world is leftism, so a discussion of the psychology of leftism can serve as an introduction to the discussion of the problems of modern society in general. But what is leftism? During the first half of the 20th century leftism could have been practically identified with socialism. Today the movement is fragmented and it is not clear who can properly be called a leftist. When we speak of leftists in this article...

Iryna Zarutska was butchered to death on a train in Charlotte by a career felon with 14 prior arrests. Her death was the direct result of leadership failures and bad policy. Jimmy Kimmel never mentioned her name, much less cried on camera about it. These people are sociopaths. They don’t care about human life. Their emotions aren’t real. They aren’t even capable of experiencing real human emotion at this point. It’s all a game to them. It’s all performance. Kimmel isn’t just a bad comedian, he’s a bad person. Rotten to his core.

Well-known American host Tucker Carlson said on his podcast that German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is hesitant to introduce compulsory military service and significantly strengthen the armed forces because, as Carlson stated, this could lead to the participation of a large number of Muslim citizens, which could create complications in terms of security implications. “I suppose that, if it has come to that, we simply have to adapt to a new understanding of Europe, right?” Tucker said. As a reminder, Germany will introduce a system of “selective” compulsory military service starting in January 2026, under which registration and medical examinations will...

When Gavin Newsom launched CARE Court with great fanfare, he promised help for people with severe mental illness who go back and forth between homelessness, jail, and emergency rooms. The California Governor boasted that CARE Court would be a 'completely new paradigm' that would compassionately force people's mentally ill loved ones off the streets and into treatment via a judge's order – and estimated that up to 12,000 people could be helped. A State Assembly analysis said up to 50,000 people might be eligible. However after spending $236 million in taxpayer dollars on CARE Court since the March 2022 announcement,...

Paul informed the leaders of President Trump’s immigration agencies in a tersely worded letter that “Congress has an obligation to conduct oversight” of what he called the “exceptional amount of funding” the Republican Congress has allocated to secure the borders and enforce immigration laws. “Congress has an obligation to conduct...

In Tehran, the capital of Iran, security forces opened fire at protesters from the roof of a police station. In Karaj, they fired live rounds into a march, shooting one person in the head. In Isfahan, young men barricaded themselves in an alley as gunfire and explosions rang out. Scattered protests had percolated since late December, starting with a strike in Tehran’s bazaar and fueled by a plunging economy. But by early January, Iranians had revolted en masse, and the security forces began to crack down with deadly force. It was not just the protests unnerving the regime. President Trump...
