...the problem is not the young lady bleeding to death on the sidewalk, but those seeking to "politicise" the event. If that does not seem terribly logical, you forget that, for most of the ruling elite, it is too late to "save" old France or old Germany, even if they wanted to; therefore, the best that can be done is to use the daily human sacrifices to accelerate the transition to whatever's next. Once you discern that that's all the plan there is, the statements of Merz and Macron calling on us to resist those who would "divide" us make...

The Trump administration rule, which took effect immediately, could transfer nearly 450,000 cases to immigration judges, who could dismiss the asylum petitions. The Trump administration launched a plan Tuesday to channel hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers directly into deportation proceedings, a change that some attorneys said could lead to people being removed from the United States without a hearing.Trump officials introduced a rule designed to reduce the 1.4 million asylum cases pending in U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the Department of Homeland Security agency that processes immigration applications, by nearly a third. The rule took effect immediately, before...

The Trump administration on Tuesday announced a ban on new foreign-made humanoid robot imports to the US over "unacceptable risks" to the country's national security. The move applies to advanced robots - including humanoid and four-legged machines. Many of them are made in China, which is locked in a race with the US to develop robotics and artificial intelligence (AI). The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) also banned the import of power inverters - a device used in data centres and solar panels - which it said could also pose a risk to the US economy. FCC chairman Brendan Carr said...

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, declined to apologize Monday night for his "ogre on a pike" metaphor after critics from both parties condemned the leaked remark as violent and, in some cases, sexist."Ideally, you put one ogre on a pike, and then everyone else gets the message," El-Sayed said, according to audio obtained by Politico. While El-Sayed did not name Stevens in the recording, some Democrats interpreted the remark as referring to her. Rep. Hillary Scholten, D-Mich., who has endorsed Stevens, called the remark a "violent, vulgar" threat and said candidates should be working to lower the...

As long as there have been vaccines, there have been people who doubted their science and safety. Back in 19th-century England, people rioted against a mandatory smallpox vaccine, claiming that it violated civil rights and was an affront to human bodily integrity. In the United States, organizations dedicated to resisting vaccines have existed since the Anti-Compulsory Vaccination League of Brooklyn was established in 1894.Researchers generally refer to people who do not follow the standard advice of health professionals about vaccines, by either refusing or delaying some or all vaccines, as vaccine hesitant. Today, vaccine hesitancy is most famously associated with...

Longtime New Yorkers fume after being hit with massive pied-à-terre tax bills: ‘Is this a witch hunt?’ New Yorkers were seething Tuesday after Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration alerted them they’d be on the hook for the state’s new pied-à-terre tax — which was explicitly sold as a levy targeting wealthy owners of luxury second homes. Longtime residents — some who have called the Big Apple home for decades and own a single abode in the city — told The Post they were shocked to get hit with five-figure tax bills they believe were mistakenly mailed out, and are now being...

Conservative leader Keiko Fujimori was sworn in as Peru's president on Tuesday after winning the June presidential runoff by a margin of fewer than 50,000 votes, a victory that confirmed a regional shift in South America toward the conservative wing. With the ceremony, Fujimori, a four-time presidential candidate and leader of Peru's largest political party, officially takes office as the country's ninth president in a decade. The 51-year-old is hoping to stabilize Peru's turbulent politics, reduce crime and boost economic growth. ... Fujimori's Popular Force party and its main ally, Popular Renovation, will hold half the senate seats once the...

An 'experimental explosion' has been detected off the coast of Florida, nearly two weeks after a similar event occurred. The US Geological Survey (USGS) detected a 3.9 magnitude earthquake east of Flagler Beach on Tuesday. It was listed with a depth of zero feet, indicating the seismic source was at or very near the surface, a characteristic more consistent with an explosion than a typical tectonic shake. The location is about 20 miles from where another event was recorded on July 16, east of Ponce Inlet, an area where the US Navy is known to conduct Full Ship Shock Trials...

The forensic evidence was bloody and grim. Thick clotted blood scored the bruised face of the corpse, from a multitude of deep, needle-sharp wounds.More dried blood could be seen on the arms, feet and ankles, blood that had oozed from brutal injuries that punched through the bones.These details, pieced together by successive teams of experts in criminal pathology, are captured in the oldest piece of murder evidence in the world: the Shroud of Turin.The dead man, powerfully built and naked, must have suffered intense agonies... but he did not bleed to death.Neither was he killed by the deep stab wound...

Ukrainian and US Presidents Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump discussed the production of Patriot air defense systems during their meeting and also revived the negotiation track, according to an informed source.

We managed to revive the negotiation track," the source said.

AUSTIN, TX — Over the course of a ninety-minute transaction, Elon Musk became the sole and absolute owner of The Economist. Though Musk had no reported prior interest in the aging magazine, Musk acquired total ownership of the company during a sit-down with The Economist's Zanny Beddoes. "Well, that didn't quite go as planned," sighed Beddoes, handing over her employee badge to Musk. "Here you go, Elon. I'll, uh, just see myself out." Musk, for his part, offered Beddoes the option to stay on with the company, on the condition that she do actual journalism. Beddoes made several loud screeching...

VIDEOThe mysterious CIA Project MKUltra may have been involved in trying to create brainwashed assassins for the US Government who may in turn have been involved in a series of high profile assassinations between 1963 and 1980. That's the conspiracy theory. However, many people don't realise that MKUltra's origins were at Dachau Concentration Camp and SS interrogation experiments using hypnosis and psychedelic drugs, and that many of the Nazi doctors were later recruited by the CIA and worked on MKUltra.

Washington — The Senate on Tuesday confirmed Jay Clayton to lead the nation's intelligence agencies in a party-line vote that could be the key to unlock a path forward on a key surveillance authority that lapsed more than six weeks ago. The Senate voted 51 to 47 to install Clayton as director of national intelligence. He replaces Bill Pulte, a controversial housing official with no intelligence experience whom President Trump appointed to the role temporarily. The appointment led Democrats to walk away from a bipartisan deal to reauthorize a warrantless spy tool known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence...

With Dr. Anthony Fauci back in the news and testifying before @RandPaul's committee, recall this investigation we did. Project Veritas obtained never-before-seen Dept of Defense documents regarding gain-of-function research, the concealment of documents, and the suppression of potential COVID-19 treatments. According to Project Veritas' 2022 reporting, the documents contradicted Dr. Fauci's testimony before Congress. According to the documents, the Dept of Defense rejected EcoHealth Alliance's proposed coronavirus research because it was deemed "too dangerous" and "too close" to violating the gain-of-function research moratorium. According to the documents, the research later proceeded through NIAID under Dr. Fauci's leadership. Video Transcript SummaryDetailed...

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says he was reassured in a phone call with his Ukrainian counterpart Andrii Sybiha that Ukraine’s attack on an Iranian ship “was unintentional and Ukraine seeks no escalation”. In a post on X, Araghchi wrote that “Iran does not seek escalation either, but made clear any attack on our citizens or interests is unacceptable”. “There must be restitution for losses,” he said. Sybiha earlier described the call as “frank” and “direct”.
