Members of the European Parliament erupted in chants of “Send Them Back!” moments after the chamber overwhelmingly approved what is being called the EU’s 'strictest-ever' migration and return law on Wednesday. This marks a major policy shift in Europe. It follows years of uncontrolled illegal crossings and relentless public pressure. That pressure translated to significant gains for conservative and populist parties in recent elections. Right-wing and center-right MEPs exemplified the energy and desire for change as chants rang out on the floor of the parliament chamber. "Send them back!" indeed. This is an incredible display. Euronews has described the legislation...

A British tourist was attacked and wounded by a sword-wielding martial arts instructor following an alleged confrontation with a local in Thailand. The holidaymaker reportedly went on a rampage following a road rage incident with a motorcyclist on the resort island of Phuket on June 13. He yelled at the motorist and allegedly threatened residents with an iron pipe before Muay Thai and sword-fighting instructor Waikoon Promsuwan, 50, confronted him at 11.30pm. Chaotic footage of the incident shows the shirtless man holding the weapon as he taunted Waikoon and called him a 'p****'. Waikoon then charged at him with a...

For a decade, the network and the president have fueled each other’s rise. As the midterms approach, both are learning who really owns the Republican base.During President Trump’s “executive time” on a recent Sunday evening, one of the missives during a marathon Truth Social posting spree told the story of what was eating him as the week began. His centerpiece post carried overtones of heartbreak and its target was one that had long taunted him from inside the room: Fox News — his constant companion, his comfort zone, the powerful media engine that took a chance on him a decade...

It's entirely possible that Trump, the "Art of the Deal" master, never saw the details of the MoU --brokered by fake "friends" Qatar/Pakistan-- before blindly placing his confidence in JD Vance. Yet virtually no one argues that this deal is good for America. There is broad consensus across Republicans, Democrats, conservatives, and many others that the sole beneficiary would be Iran's oppressive regime and its jihadist proxies. No one believes that the $300 billion would simply be spent on "reconstruction." Just like the regime has been doing with Obama's cash release for its annihilation nuclear program, ballistic missiles, shahed drones...

TWO top U.S. senators are urging the Trump Justice Department to challenge the legality of President Joe Biden's pardon of Dr. Anthony Fauci and to pursue criminal charges against the nation's former top doc during the COVID-19 pandemic. "I think we should challenge the pardon, because it's an extraordinary pardon. It's a pardon not for a specific crime, and it's a pardon over a 10 year period. It's the same that he got the same thing Hunter Biden got," Sen. Rand Paul told the Just the News, No Noise television show on Tuesday. "I think that could be challenged in...

As Peter McIlvenna reported earlier, the 219-page Rape Gang Inquiry Report, released on June 16, 2026, was led by Restore MP Rupert Lowe and survivor advocate Sammy Woodhouse. Funded by more than 20,000 British supporters, this investigation reveals a major failure in child protection. It documents the systematic grooming, rape, trafficking, and abuse of at least 250,000 vulnerable White British girls by mostly Muslim Pakistani gangs throughout the UK. The report’s main finding is clear. Organized groups, with 87-95% of convicted offenders having Muslim names, mostly of Pakistani background, targeted girls as young as 11 from unstable homes and care...

in a letter to MLB Commissioner Robert D. Manfred Jr., AG Hanaway made it crystal clear: Missouri will not tolerate MLB punishing players for exercising sincerely held religious beliefs. “It has come to my attention that MLB is considering disciplining members of the San Francisco Giants who expressed their dissent from wearing ‘Pride Night’ hats—by either writing Bible verses on those hats or wearing the regular Giants cap. In response to these actions, MLB said, ‘The writing on the cap violates our rules, and consistent with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations,’” Hanaway wrote. “Missouri will...

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday sided unanimously with a Texas marijuana user in a Second Amendment case asking whether it was constitutional to ban certain drug users from owning firearms.Justice Neil Gorsuch delivered the court's opinion, writing that the government's persecution of a Texas man who owned guns while admitting to regularly using marijuana was unconstitutional and violated the man's Second Amendment rights. Although Gorsuch acknowledged that the decision was "narrow" and did not address whether someone who is actively intoxicated can use a gun.Someone addicted to a drug could still be prosecuted after Thursday’s decision, Gorsuch wrote....

One of the individuals charged with plotting a terrorist attack against the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House earlier this week, and the alleged ringleader of the operation, is an illegal alien, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Abraham Alvarez, a Mexican national, entered the United States as a child and later received deportation relief through former President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program after overstaying his visa. Alvarez was arrested on Sunday by the FBI in Omaha, Nebraska. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has already lodged a detainer against him.

The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled in favor of a Texas man who challenged a federal law that bars certain drug users from having firearms. In a unanimous decision in the case U.S. v. Hemani, the justices found that Ali Hemani's prosecution for having a firearm while he was an unlawful drug user is inconsistent with the Second Amendment. Hemani allegedly was only an occasional user of marijuana when the FBI found a handgun at his Texas home in 2022. The ruling from the Supreme Court is narrow, since the justices did not strike down the law at the center...

A French woman is pleading with American and European patriots for help as her own government is looking to jail her for publicly exposing the dangers African and Arab immigrant men pose to women in France. "I need your help," said Thaïs d'Escufon in a video posted Tuesday on X, as she faces a possible six-month prison sentence and $3,500 fine. "Tomorrow I may be sentenced to unsuspended prison for daring to say on French TV that the main danger to women in France comes from black African and Arab immigrant men, even though I was defending a woman who...

Starfall?! Most Tesla investors have never heard of it. But this quiet SpaceX project could be one of the biggest tailwinds for TSLA in the 2030s and beyond. It is not just "another capsule." It is a 10 feet diameter, 2.5 feet tall disk-shaped, reentry vehicle designed to bring high-value payloads back from orbit safely and affordably. It weighs about 4,600lbs and is the missing piece for in-space manufacturing at scale. The first FAA-approved launch test is scheduled for June 21st 2026. Starfall’s sole purpose is to be a rapid point-to-point cargo delivery vessel. It unlocks commercial in-space manufacturing by...

Janeese Lewis George, an avowed socialist and proud member of the Democratic Socialists of America, took a commanding lead in Washington, D.C.’s Democratic primary Tuesday night, all but guaranteeing she will be the next mayor of the nation’s capital. As radical as Lewis George’s socialist policies are, however, they should not be thought of as an aberration, as they might once have been. For socialists within the Democratic Party now control the mayor offices of New York, Chicago, and Seattle, and are poised to take over Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. The Democratic Party has become the party of socialism....

Zohran Mamdani is promising free grocery stores, free housing and free everything, but the only free thing New Yorkers can really count on getting for free is an infectious disease. And flavored condoms for the sickest city in America. Gonorrhea rates in New York City have more than doubled in a decade and syphilis is ‘surging’ statewide. Mamdani’s Department of Health has responded to this crisis by rushing a free supply of lubricant and chocolate flavored condoms. “Providing high-quality sexual and reproductive healthcare services is a priority for the Mamdani Administration,” explained NYC Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services...

A proposal to impose a one-time 5 percent tax on the assets of California billionaires has qualified for the November ballot. The California Secretary of State’s office announced Wednesday that supporters had gathered enough signatures to place the measure before voters after months of maneuvering and opposition from influential political and business leaders. The proposal, backed by a health care union, would levy a one-time tax on the assets of the state’s wealthiest residents. Advocates of the measure claim the increase in revenue would help offset the effects of federal spending reductions and provide resources to prevent hospital closures and...

MANY VIDEO CLIPS AT LINK..................... =================================================================== MAGA isn’t perfect. And JD Vance’s latest comments prove that he and President Trump can see some of the issues bubbling to the surface. ‘ JD Vance made a very simple point during his interview with Megyn Kelly, and it’s something a lot of people on the right probably needed to hear. Politics isn’t an emotional support system. It’s messy, frustrating, imperfect, and full of moments where leaders you voted for will do something you don’t like. That’s totally normal and part of the process, like it or not. And yes, when President Trump...
