The conscienceless monster that is left-wing political violence has a voracious appetite. And the Trump-hating media are feeding it. A new Rasmussen Reports poll finds a majority of likely U.S. voters — 60 percent — believes that the constant barrage of negative coverage of President Donald Trump likely contributed to the latest assassination attempt. The national telephone and online survey of 1,076 Americans, conducted April 27-29, shows 41 percent of those surveyed think it “very likely” the media’s one-sided treatment had some influence. A mere 13 percent of respondents said it’s “not at all likely” that the media has some...

President Trump's declaration that hostilities with Iran are "terminated" has thrown Democrats' strategy around congressional war powers into turmoil, Axios has learned. Why it matters: House Democrats, led by the Congressional Progressive Caucus, had been planning to force a war powers vote every day. It is now unclear whether that will — or even can — happen. Lawmakers involved in the war powers effort have been quietly reassessing how to approach the matter when Congress returns next week, according to multiple aides and lawmakers familiar with the matter. "There's a lot to happen between now and next week," one senior...

Don’t break up because of that Mam! New York leaders are desperately trying to stop billionaire bigwigs from hightailing it out of the Big Apple with their cash, businesses and thousands of jobs — as fears mount that Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s policies will accelerate the Empire State’s nation-leading loss of wealth. The splashy one-two punch of Citadel CEO Ken Griffin and Apollo Global Management honcho Marc Rowan pledging to expand outside New York City has been coupled with a silent wave of businesses “quiet quitting” the city over its hostile environment, insiders told The Post. The burgeoning biz bolt has...

If globalism won’t stop killing citizens, citizens will be forced to kill globalism. Consider these recent news stories from Europe and North America: (1) Germany’s government is considering a new law that would allow its spy agency to investigate and block citizens from buying homes if the would-be owners hold political views that conflict with the government’s official policies. In effect, political dissent would disqualify a person from owning a home. (2) London Mayor Sadiq Khan is pushing for a government-run “disinformation unit” to investigate and silence online criticism of the mayor’s policies. (3) British police are doing more to...

Examples in the complaint, filed with the EEOC, include union members laughing and clapping at the mention of an 82-year-old Jewish woman killed in a terror attack The National Education Association (NEA) was hit with a federal complaint Monday alleging that it subjected Jewish members to an antisemitic environment, according to a copy of the complaint shared with the Washington Free Beacon. The complaint, filed by the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) , alleges that the nation’s largest teachers’ union allowed activists within the organization to harass Jewish...

WESTMINSTER, LONDON — Last week, Reform UK leader and perpetual thorn-in-the-establishment’s-side, Nigel Farage, told the press he intended to be on the streets of Havering in East London on the morning of Friday, May 8th, celebrating Reform UK’s first capital city breakthrough. Sure enough, the borough is now his, with the once-dominant Conservative Party relegated to ZERO seats in the white-van-and-mortgage belt of London.These results are being replicated up and down the nation, with over 5,000 council seats up for grabs in Thursday’s elections, and Reform UK already picking up around 1 in 3 of them. It’s a nightmare scenario...

Will we allow Koranic culture and sharia law to take Texas too? There’s no denying that large-scale activities taken by any Muslim transplants will likely raise red flags for the American community already there. That’s just what happened to the community originally called EPIC City, for East Plano Islamic Center, now renamed as “The Meadow.” Gov. Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton became very suspicious of the planned development and filed several lawsuits, alleging the developers were “implementing Sharia Law and creating a no-go zone for non-Muslims.” While Paxton and Abbott successfully delayed the development, last week a judge...

A “truly historic shift in British politics” has taken place where the national political question is no longer about “left or right”, Brexit pioneer Nigel Farage said as his Reform Party surged in early results in what has been called the “midterm” elections. The first Britain-wide local election results trickled in overnight — and will continue to do so through the day and into the weekend as over 5,000 local races have their votes counted — revealing in its early stages a massive swing to Reform UK. Party leader Nigel Farage hailed the party’s gains so far, and vowed “the...

Reform UK is on track for historic gains in the 2026 UK local elections – seizing hundreds of seats in the early counts while Labour and the Conservatives suffer heavy defeats across England. With results from 39 of 136 councils declared overnight (roughly 28% of the vote counted), Reform UK has already gained over 300 seats – a remarkable surge for a party that had almost no local presence just a few years ago. Labour has lost 220 seats, the Conservatives 107, while the Liberal Democrats gained 35 and the Greens 22. Labour on the Brink in Traditional Strongholds The...

It's vitriolic because it just encourages the asinine behaviors and reactions in those whose default setting is to be reductive of people,' he added.

The Trump administration’s cancellation of more than $100 million in humanities grants to scholars, writers, research groups and other organizations was unconstitutional, and the Department of Government Efficiency had no authority to end the funding, a federal judge in New York ruled on Thursday. U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon in Manhattan sided with The Authors Guild, several other groups and several people who had their grants canceled and sued DOGE and the National Endowment for the Humanities. McMahon permanently barred the administration from terminating the grants and criticized DOGE’s use of artificial intelligence in nixing the funding. Government lawyers had...

Zero. There are currently no European-headquartered public companies with a market capitalization of $1 trillion or more. As of May 2026, the largest European companies by market cap are all well below this threshold (figures are approximate and fluctuate daily): ASML (Netherlands): ~$580–590 billion (the current leader). Roche (Switzerland): ~$320–330 billion. LVMH (France): ~$260–275 billion. Others like SAP (Germany), Novo Nordisk (Denmark), AstraZeneca (UK), etc., are generally in the $200–250 billion range or lower. For context, the global trillion-dollar club is dominated by U.S. tech giants (e.g., Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet/Microsoft in the multi-trillion range), with a few others like Saudi...

With six months until the high-stakes midterm elections, the Democratic Party is struggling to raise money and keep up with its GOP counterparts, leading to frustrations among some donors with Democratic National Committee leadership and its chair Ken Martin. At the end of March, the Republican National Committee outraised the DNC $21.2 million to $11.4 million, according to new reports filed with the Federal Election Commission. The RNC reported having nearly eight times more cash on hand -- $116 million to the DNC’s $13.8 million. In addition, the DNC is a little over $18 million in debt, according to FEC...

The scale of the electoral challenge facing Labour has been laid bare as the party haemorrhages councillors at the local elections and Reform makes significant gains. Keir Starmer’s party went into Thursday’s local elections expected to lose up to 1,850 councillors, with senior figures describing the contest as “tough”. Initial results overnight painted a bleak picture for the prime minister, with Labour losing councillors in its traditional northern heartlands. Reform took control of its first council at around 6am, gaining overall control of Newcastle-under-Lyme from Labour. The party’s leader, Nigel Farage, described the early results as a “historic change in...
