President Donald Trump was right to suggest that there is a national security risk posed by open borders, the British government’s top terrorism expert has belatedly admitted in the wake of yet another gruesome, alleged migrant-versus-native outrage that triggered riots. Senior lawyer Jonathan Hall, who has been the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation since 2019 and is the Independent Reviewer of State Threats Legislation under the National Security Act 2023, has demonstrated his remarkable perspicacity by noting that mass migration carries a security risk and a potential threat to “the health of the nation”. Responding to the alleged “attempted beheading”...

The far-right activist, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, will be joined by fellow far-right campaigner Laurence Fox and journalist Jonathan Sacerdoti for the debate on 17 June. They will be opposed by former Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg, activist Abdullah al Andalusi and podcaster Michael Doward. "It is particularly frustrating to see this event still going ahead, despite the union society being well aware of the extent of local concern about it," said Ms Dodds. The Oxford Union (OU) has a long history of hosting controversial debates, and says its roots "lie in free speech". Arwa Elrayess, the debating union's...

Over the past decade, the Lehigh Valley has voted narrowly for Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and then Trump again. In that time, the district has elected both Republicans and Democrats to the House, also by thin margins. If any place represents the changeable character of American politics over the last 10 years, surely it’s Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District. This fall, Democrats are hoping to take back the seat, which encompasses the population centers of Allentown and Bethlehem. This district’s voters elected Democrat Susan Wild to three full terms in Congress, starting with her party’s wave election in 2018, but the...

Americans are struggling to pay for groceries and gas while Elon Musk becomes a TRILLIONAIRE. When the federal government is for sale, the rich get richer and everyone else gets shafted. The system is rigged.

WASHINGTON, — June 12, 2026 : The United States has formally proposed a significant reduction in the military assets it contributes to NATO operations in Europe, marking a major shift in the alliance's force posture and burden-sharing arrangements. According to a document shared with European allies earlier this month, Washington intends to scale back several key military capabilities currently allocated under the NATO Force Model, including fighter aircraft, surveillance platforms, aerial refueling tankers, naval strike assets, and bomber forces. The planned reductions are part of a broader effort by the United States to encourage European NATO members and Canada to...

When the world’s richest man left California — taking his multitrillion electric car and space companies with him — the Golden State lost out on billions of dollars in economic benefits. Elon Musk’s SpaceX launched its record-breaking IPO on Friday, making him the world’s first trillionaire while enriching many employees and investors. Musk didn’t travel to the New York Stock Exchange for the ceremonial bell ringing, instead choosing to celebrate at his company’s headquarters in South Texas — surrounded by some of the estimated 4,000 millionaires he created through the public offering. It was a symbolic move for Musk, who’s...

The Utah court overseeing the Tyler Robinson case held an evidentiary hearing on Friday regarding the defense’s claims that state prosecutors should be held in contempt over comments the Utah County Attorney’s Office has given to the press over an ATF ballistics report cited in a defense motion. In closing arguments, the defense said that the judge should block the state from seeking the death penalty in the case. Defense attorney Richard Novak said during his closing that "I think that the number one remedy in this case, your honor, is for this court to preclude the state from seeking...

From the Kardashians to famed biohacker Bryan Johnson, more and more famous faces are now turning to stem cell treatments to fight Father Time. Since many of these procedures have yet to be FDA-approved, celebrities are flying abroad for the pricey treatments, dubbed 'regenerative medicine', which can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Mario Lopez, 52, recently traveled to the Proactive Longevity clinic in Cabo San Lucas for stem cell therapy with board-certified surgeon Dr. John Layke. Lopez, who has been on television since he was a pre-teen, barely seems to have aged since his Saved By The Bell days....

A Texas Department of Criminal Justice parole supervisor has been fired after posting vile anti-white racist comments on social media in response to the conviction of Karmelo Anthony for the murder of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf. Donna Murray Robinson, who was a TDCJ Parole Supervisor working with the Board of Pardons and Parole, posted on Facebook shortly after Anthony’s conviction and sentencing earlier this week. In the post, she expressed no sympathy for the Metcalf family and called for white people to start “burying their own kids.” “I am a Parole Supervisor at TX DCJ,” Robinson began. “Karmelo will be ok...

There is only one nation on Earth that must continually argue for its right to exist, even when the very survival of its people is threatened by avowedly genocidal enemies. Many readers and podcast listeners have been dismayed by my enduring support for Israel and now urge me to debate someone—really, anyone—drawn from a growing cast of scholars, grifters, and moral lunatics who have made that beleaguered country their professional or psychiatric obsession. I’ve explained my position on Israel across several podcasts and in my public talks, but it might help to summarize it here. First, my general attitude: I’m...

She's traveled to UFC fights all over the world, but there hasn't ever been a night quite like Sunday as octagon girl Red Dela Cruz prepares to star at the White House. The Filipina revealed the late A-lister she would love to see cage-side, and exactly what she would tell Donald Trump, when the Daily Mail snatched a moment with her as she jetted from Las Vegas to Washington DC on Thursday. Dela Cruz, 33, will strut the Octagon at UFC Freedom 250, the historic fight night on the South Lawn, which falls on Trump's 80th birthday and marks America's...

The dramatic killing of Tren de Aragua gang leader Niño Guerrero follows a stepped up operation by the Venezuelan military in a mob-linked region – in a joint operation with US forces, marking a new level of cooperation for the two former rival nations. Venezuela’s Bolivarian National Armed Forces launched major operations targeting illegal gold mining in Bolivar state Tuesday, local media reported, following a meeting by acting President Delcy Rodriguez with top military leaders. US military officials stressed the joint action with the former US rival in statements after President Trump shared video of the “swift and lethal” strike...

A wanted driver thought he could get away from police on a busy Georgia roadway. But officers deployed one of the most effective tools being put in the hands of police: the Grappler. Dashcam video shows Atlanta police firing a Grappler from the front of a patrol vehicle, ar tire in a heavy-duty tether and bringing it to a controlled stop before a chase could even begin. Police say the driver was wanted for allegedly destroying multiple Flock cameras used by law enforcement to help solve local crimes and now faces property damage, interference with government property, and drug charges.

Unusual, but doing 2 this week... I felt I needed an American icon group (and I thought that I may forget to post it next time). Once again, Brad and Lex listening to a song generation before them (I think first time for them to hear Boston).

In a previous article, I analyzed the big winners and losers of the California primary. I didn’t mention my preferred candidate, Sheriff Chad Bianco, because to me he’s still a winner, even if the rest of the state (and Trump) rejected him. California needed saving, and I believed that the sheriff was just the man to get the job done. I thought Trump’s endorsement wouldn’t matter. I went through 5 minutes of grief after I saw Bianco getting a distant fourth place in the gubernatorial race. I went through the stages of grief fairly quickly, arriving at the place of...

A "suspicious" fire broke out at the Pacific Palisades office of Spencer Pratt's crystals company, he revealed to The California Post. The Los Angeles mayoral candidate confirmed that the office, located inside the Highlands Circle complex at 1515 Palisades Dr., belonged to him. The Los Angeles Fire Department's Arson Unit was notified, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation. "I want to be careful to not compromise an arson investigation, but this incident is very suspicious," Pratt told The Post, just hours after his bombshell post-election video dropped. "I will wait for the investigators to make public the...

Brad & Lex at it again.. First Time Reaction from them, and, of course Brad being the more serious one, and Lex being adorable, as always. Going back to early 80s, Foreigner...

The San Francisco Giants have worn rainbow-colored hats on their annual celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community since 2021. But when "Pride Night" came to Oracle Park for 2026 on Friday, four of the five pitchers the Giants used in the game doctored their uniforms in what has been become an increasingly common form of protest from MLB players.

Updates on the conflict with Iran, the growing fallout from the Karmelo Anthony case, and a look at the legacies of George Washington and Joe Biden; this is “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” As the national debate over race, justice, and identity politics continues to intensify, new controversies are raising questions about equal treatment under the law and the future of race relations in America.
