URGENT: Our Tousi TV team has been arrested by the French in Calais for doing their job: filming a documentary on Europe’s illegal migrant crisis. Phones confiscated. No information given. This is not law enforcement. This is suppression. A direct assault on journalism

Are women okay? The answer, clearly, is no. Women are not okay. The young ones, especially. This week, Britain’s New Statesman introduced us to “the Angry Young Women,” an expanding coven of radical, unstable, men-hating, activist women. This is maybe the first time a mainstream outlet in the UK has acknowledged the precipitous leftward drift of young women and the major effects it’s having on British society: on politics, culture, relations between the sexes—pretty much everything you can think of, really. Whether it’s Israel’s war in Gaza, the “Climate Crisis,” the Patriarchy, racism, or the prospect of a Reform government...

SEATTLE — City advocates say they are struggling to find solutions as homelessness and open-air drug use spread across Seattle’s streets, amid growing concerns about the direction of socialist Mayor Katie Wilson’s new administration.

Maggie Thatcher, easily one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century, was a no-nonsense woman. She became Prime Minister of the UK in 1979 and would rescue her nation from the economic quagmire created by the policies of her leftist predecessors. Maggie was the daughter of a merchant. And as one might expect as the daughter of someone who had to deal with customers and vendors and regulators and all the while make sure there was something left in the bank at the end of the month, she was a straightforward and pragmatic leader. For someone born almost exactly...

A regional intelligence official told Fox News that the Strait of Hormuz is "under full IRGC control and effectively closed at this moment." "Multiple vessels have been forced to turn around since this morning as they attempted to pass through the Strait," the official said. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) "opened fire on at least one vessel as part of the closure policy they declared last night," the official added. This comes after Iran’s joint military command said on Saturday that “control of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous state" and is "under strict management and...

CHICAGO—Barack Obama’s new presidential center isn’t a cheap date, and neither is his adopted hometown. When it opens June 19, it will set at least three modern-era records for a former White House occupant: time taken to be completed, project cost and the price to get inside. At $30, adult admission to see the 44th president’s story is more than at any other U.S. presidential library, a Wall Street Journal review shows. That is 59% higher than the average for presidents from John F. Kennedy through George W. Bush...... Still, the GOP should tread cautiously. One of their own isn’t...

🚨 Space Pearl Harbor: US_SpaceCom Commander Gen. Whiting warns Russia may put a NUCLEAR weapon in low Earth orbit. Just one detonation in space could cripple 80% of the global satellite network and plunge the world in chaos. "That's an outcome we just can't tolerate."

Reading the news today got me to thinking about various things. Such as: *If European countries are too afraid of their rapidly growing Muslim populations to act in defense of their own interests—and that of the majority of their citizens-- as regards the world's greatest state sponsor of terror, Iran, they are already defeated. The only question is, have they willingly, treasonously, and knowingly surrendered, or are they tragically unaware of their own impending demise. My educated guess is the former. More’s the pity. *I want to say something very clearly, and with great specificity: If today’s Democrats were...

Dick Morris has finally confirmed what many people have long suspected: Bill Clinton, while sitting in the Oval Office, seriously entertained the idea of divorcing Hillary — and he had his longtime political advisor run the polls to find out if he could survive it politically. Morris, who advised Clinton for years, as far back as his 1970s gubernatorial campaigns in Arkansas, appeared on Newsmax and dropped a bombshell that has somehow received far too little attention. When host Rob Finnerty asked Morris to confirm the rumor, the answer was blunt. "Yes, actually several times," Morris said. "It was a...

From Wikimedia Commons: A market scene on the Grand Place in Brussels (unknown artist, ca. 1670)Modern Brussels narrates the tragedy of a continent in terminal decline. Once a monument to European civilization—listing such landmarks as the medieval Grand-Place, the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula, the neoclassical Palais de Justice—it has been transmogrified into a laboratory of “super-diversity,” a doomsday phenomenon whose presiding ideology is this: abolition of the Christian nation-state. Hosting representatives of 184 nationalities, the city does not merely reflect globalization; it weaponizes it. Beneath the bureaucratic gloss of the EU’s institutions lies a parallel reality of...

This is where the homeless money in California goes Democrats gave a NGO $23 MILLION dollars The NGO used it to buy - A mansion in Los Angeles - $125,000 Land Rover - A second home in Greece US Attorney’s office says THEY FOUND 12 MORE CALIFORNIA NGOs doing the same thing “The U.S. Attorney's office in L.A. says they are actively investigating at least 12 other similar fraud cases here in California.”

There is a difference between dissent and sabotage. Between principled skepticism and strategic subversion. And increasingly, that line is being tested—not by the political Left, but by what can only be described as a counter-MAGA Fifth Column operating within the right itself. At a moment when the United States is engaged in active military operations to destroy the escalating threat from the Iranian regime—one that has openly pursued nuclear capability, funded proxy terrorism, and targeted American interests abroad—there has emerged a chorus of influential voices whose messaging consistently runs counter to the Trump administration’s interests. Figures like Tucker Carlson, Candace...

A bipartisan House bill introduced this week, HR 8250, would require operating system providers to verify the age of every user who sets up an account or uses an operating system, shifting age-checking obligations away from individual apps and onto platform owners such as mobile and computer operating system companies.The Parents Decide Act was introduced by Rep. Josh Gottheimer and Rep. Elise Stefanik.“With each passing day, the Internet is becoming more and more treacherous for our kids,” Gottheimer said. “We’re not just talking about social media anymore — we’re talking about artificial intelligence and platforms that are shaping how our...

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it forced the release of 27 heavily redacted pages from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit that show that would-be Trump assassin Thomas Crooks was reportedly involved in an altercation with a group of people and making “hateful comments” directed at President Trump at the Butler, PA, rally site before the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt....

It either demonstrates a deep misunderstanding of facts or is a deliberate action to accelerate the decline of a once-great city. The Laws of Economics and statistics on the grocery industry clearly show that there is no way, except through subsidies that shift costs onto taxpayers, for Mamdani’s plan for city-run grocery stores to reduce food costs for the city’s residents. The grocery business is not some gold mine of hidden profits waiting to be tapped. It is one of the most competitive, tightly run industries in this country, with an extremely low profit margin. Companies such as Kroger, Walmart,...

Leaders of the Air National Guard argued that the Air Force's readiness was woefully inadequate... "The United States Air Force is the oldest, the smallest, and the least ready in its 78-year history," the letter, which was obtained by Air and Space Forces Magazine, read. To rectify the historic deficiency, military leaders are requesting between 72 and 100 new fighter jets across the Air Force's active duty, reserve and guard corps. Specifically, the adjutants generals — the leader of the National Guard in their respective state — are requesting at least 48 new F-35s and 24 new F-15EXs. The letter...

WASHINGTON (AP) — A lead prosecutor in the John Brennan investigation has been removed from the case after expressing concerns to Justice Department officials about the legal strength of a potential criminal prosecution of the former CIA director, a person familiar with the matter said Friday. Maria Medetis Long told defense lawyers involved in the investigation that she was no longer participating in the Brennan investigation. Her departure from the investigation came after she conveyed doubt that there was sufficient evidence for a criminal case against Brennan, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press...
