Donald Trump says Keir Starmer will resign as PM after he "failed badly" on immigration and energy

Damning new evidence that Sir Keir Starmer ordered the interception of a Russian 'shadow fleet' oil tanker in the English Channel in a desperate effort to shore up his weakening grip on Downing Street has emerged after defence experts said that film of the event had been 'stage-managed' Sources have said that Sir Keir gave the go-ahead for last weekend's raid on the Smyrtos by Royal Marines, driven by the need to produce a 'PR boost' for the embattled Prime Minister just days after Defence Secretary John Healey quit over lack of funding for defence. It was also during the...

The era of total victory died when the communists made inroads into the Democrat party, so Trump must think outside the box. As regular readers know, I’ve been completely off from work for almost three weeks so that I could travel to the Far East to help with my new (and first) grandchild. Helping with a newborn tends to put everything in perspective because that fragile little being’s survival is the single most important thing on the agenda. Paying attention to the news took second place to offering whatever practical help I could. Those of us who saw Iran as...

After officials kicked off the opening weekend of the Barack Obama Presidential Center with a widely mocked “land acknowledgment” — a nod to the political far left that believes the United States was built on “stolen land” — a traditional Native American dance show was featured during Saturday’s scheduled events. The Black Hawk Performance Company is a Native American dance troupe based in the Chicago area, composed of dancers from several Indigenous tribes. Saturday marked the third day of the Obama Presidential Center’s grand opening, which featured musical and cultural performances ranging from international superstars like John Legend to local...

Former Vice President Kamala Harris offered podcast host Don Lemon her own definition of the word “hope” on Friday, resulting in a clip that has since gone viral on social media as a “word salad” response. “I really, truly believe this,” Harris said. “We each have light inside of us. And we need to know that that is what inspires our hope as much as anything external to ourselves.” The former vice president and 2026 presidential candidate continued her long-winded response, imploring Americans not to lose sight of their vision of the future when faced with political or personal loss....

Two teachers were stabbed during an assault that involved students during dismissal at a Harford County elementary school Tuesday. Deputies responded to Roye-Williams Elementary School around 3:30 p.m. after a call for assistance from staff. Deputies arrived to find the two victims suffering from stabbing injuries. Evidence found at the scene was consistent with an attack. No students were hurt during the incident.

Autopen pardons can’t possibly be constitutional. Why not test the theory on a few high-profile malefactors? Near the end of Joe Biden’s incompetence, corruption, and dementia extravaganza, thousands of pardons were issued — many for unstated crimes. Most weren’t done with a pen in a human hand, as our founders intended. The were done with an autopen — a machine that can imitate a human signature. Given Joey “SoftServe’s” mental state, there’s ample reason to question whether the machine-signed pardons were a valid reflection of the president’s will, such as it was. On December 2, 2025, after the magnitude of...

It seems the smoke swirling around Dr. Anthony Fauci just keeps getting thicker. Every time the former government health czar slips out of sight, another revelation pops up about his questionable decisions, his political maneuvering, or his desperate attempts to protect himself from accountability. The latest twist came from a bombshell conversation shared by independent journalist Nick Shirley, who claims Fauci was frantically seeking a presidential pardon on the very morning Joe Biden shuffled out of the White House. According to Shirley’s interview with Pardon Attorney Edward R. Martin Jr., Fauci’s lawyers were emailing feverishly to ensure their client secured...

French President Emmanuel Macron has shot down the idea of backing a collective European project to establish illegal migrant return hubs outside the bloc, after the EU Parliament paved the way earlier this week. Claiming that it is contrary to the supposed values of “Europe”, President Macron said that France will not agree to fund any EU migrant return hubs, nor will Paris seek to partner on an individual basis with a third-party country, as it will be allowed to under the new returns regulations passed on Wednesday in Strasbourg. Rather than allowing illegals to remain in EU nations while...

TALEA Beer Co used molasses-based recipe from Washington's Seven Years' War notebook to craft historic brew VIDEO AT LINK....... The New York Public Library (NYPL) is giving visitors a chance to "taste history" by recreating George Washington's beer recipe from the first president's 1757 military journal, which is housed in the library's research collections. The library collaborated with New York City-based TALEA Beer Co. to recreate the brew, along with a Liberty Lager to appeal to modern palates. "The initial response to [the library] reaching out was obviously awe," LeAnn Darland, TALEA co-founder and co-CEO, told Fox News Digital. "Just...

It’s not Israel. It’s not even Iran. Look closer to home. At this point, everyone is familiar with the 14 points of the Memorandum of Understanding between President Trump and remnants of Iran’s power structure. The document appears to use careful, ambiguous diplomatic language, but it actually serves as a raw political instrument. To decipher its true meaning, one must strip away the mannerly phrasing and read it in the plain political lexicon — the language of power, elections, and survival. Article 1 states that midterm elections in America will take place in November 2026. Article 2 specifies that they...

Mustafa Al-Muizzawi made antisemitic remarks on live television after Lionel Messi avoided punishment for a controversial tackle in Argentina’s win over Algeria, claiming ‘the Jewish lobby controls the world’.

Was Hitler a Christian? Historical evidence reveals his hostility toward Christianity and helps answer a common objection raised against the faith.Despite the fact that Adolf Hitler had a Roman Catholic background, he became adamantly anti-Christian and believed in evolution. As other dictators have done, he took over the churches and used their organizational structure to influence the citizens—though the teachings allowed were anything but biblical. William Shirer, who chronicled the Nazi regime, stated that “the Nazi regime intended eventually to destroy Christianity in Germany” and substitute paganism.Hitler’s vision for Germany was defined in a thirty-point program for the “National Reich...

🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem 🇮🇱(6/20/26)[Prayer]PersonalitiesRuth 1:19-22 19 So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi? 20 And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. 21 I went out full and the Lord hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the Lord hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me? 22 So...

Whether it's the mullahs, Fauci, or the Philly DA's office, everybody's lies come out eventually. IranReading the many and various takes on the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Iran is like reading through a stack of inkblot interpretations. People see in it what they are inclined to see. I agree with Don Surber that David Limbaugh’s view is the most accurate: Maybe I’m too optimistic but the more time that passes the less I’m worried about the MOU because Trump has made clear that he knows what all lawyers know: an agreement to agree is not binding like a formal...

Britain may — very likely — soon have a new government under Andy Burnham. Amid the swirl of senior Labour figures vying for a place at the top table, one name keeps coming up: Ed Miliband. The energy secretary, who led the Labour party himself between 2010 and 2015 — when he was rejected by voters at the ballot box — is regarded by many MPs, as well as by bookmakers, as the frontrunner to be Burnham’s chancellor. The two men are longstanding political allies and have been in regular contact in recent weeks, including one-to-one phone calls about policy...

Tens of thousands of Iranian dissidents gathered Saturday in Paris for a demonstration that was supposed to be filled with historic symbolism: a city synonymous with revolution and resistance hosting a massive call for the oppressive regime in Iran to be toppled. Instead, French authorities banned the march. The result was a confrontation that transformed the annual gathering of the world’s largest Iranian dissident group into a debate about France and whether the government of President Emmanuel Macron yielded to security fears or pressure from Tehran. Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, one of the central speakers at the rally...

Roughly one in three students at one of the nation’s top law schools now carries a disability designation, a figure that stood at a fraction of that just five years ago. About 378 students at the UC Berkeley School of Law have enrolled in the campus Disabled Students’ Program as of spring 2026, according to the program’s annual data. Across the full campus, the program served 4,153 students in 2020-2021 and 5,711 by 2024-2025.
