EXCLUSIVE: Nigel Farage told Fox News Digital that mass migration has radically changed the country's makeup. The Reform UK leader argued that Britain’s political system is "completely broken" following Prime Minister Keir Starmer's resignation.

Speaking exclusively from the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference in London this week, a forum focused on debates over culture, Western civilization and Judeo-Christian values, Farage said Starmer’s downfall was not an isolated political event, but the latest aftershock of the Brexit revolt that upended British politics a decade ago....

The rise of the artificial intelligence era is changing expectations about careers. While earlier, there were concerns that arts and humanities subjects would be more impacted, the trend appears to have shifted. According to The Economist, AI companies are actively recruiting philosophers, sometimes even before graduation. This rise in recruitment of philosophers at AI companies is a result of the broader understanding that philosophy offers useful tools for AI development. There is a belief that AI training may be able to benefit from some of the ancient lessons of philosophy. For instance, the Socratic method, developed in ancient Greece by...

The Knicks have fired off a “cease and desist” letter to America-hating state Senate candidate Aber Kawas, threatening to slap her with a lawsuit for ripping a page out of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s playbook and using the NBA champs’ iconic logo to boost her campaign, The Post has learned.

Billionaire Democratic kingmaker George Soros spent a staggering $102.8 million in the midterm election cycle — reportedly making him the largest individual donor to date and chief architect of the party’s seismic shift toward the radical left. With the November elections still more than four months away, Soros could shatter his own spending record of $128 million set during the last midterms four years ago, when he was the biggest single donor. “Money talks, and Soros money says the most insidious, unconstitutional, costly tax hikes in American history are on the table,” said Douglas Kellogg, state projects director for Americans...

Although Donald Trump’s defenders describe the Russia hoax and other efforts to frame the president as a "grand conspiracy," RealClearInvestigations has learned that the man now leading the probe of that scandal is pursuing multiple conspiracy prosecutions that are smaller and more manageable, according to several sources with direct knowledge of the probe.

In an effort to reduce fraud via mail-in ballots, President Trump has directed Postmaster General David Steiner to refuse to deliver mailed ballots in states that refuse to submit voter registration data to the federal government. During a Senate hearing testimony, Steiner pointed out that "a super-majority of registered voters want ballots to be cast only by US citizens. The only way to fulfill this mandate is to verify that every person who casts a ballot is a citizen. Folks who vote in-person can easily show a photo ID that verifies they are a person registered to vote. Folks who...
