New York City’s socialist Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani opted to mention “democratic socialists” in his Labor Day post on Monday, crediting them with leading the first Labor Day parade. “In 1882, 10,000 workers marched up Broadway in the first-ever Labor Day parade. Led by democratic socialists and organized by New York’s unions, they rallied the movement that went on to win us weekends, safety standards, overtime pay, a minimum wage, and social security,” Mamdani said in his Labor Day post. “None of those victories were guaranteed. And none are permanent,” he said, crediting them with creating the “first-in-the-nation Office of...

Trump is proposing DOUBLING the fees for H-1B Visas to $200,000. The number of applicants dropped by 87% when fees were raised to $100,000 last year. Good. Companies should prioritize hiring American workers over foreigners.

This week I predicted that Germany's Alternative for Germany would likely win Sunday's state election in Saxony-Anhalt, a development I called "earth-shattering." The AfD has now moved from a protest party on the margins to one capable of winning elections outright. It is important to note that the party is not "far right" — as much of the European and international press labels it.

Retaliatory tariffs issued by Canada are set to hit some imports from the United States soon after midnight on Tuesday, intensifying a trade war between the longtime allies and risking an escalation from President Donald Trump.Levies as high as 50% will be applied to hundreds of U.S. products, ranging from aluminum foil to raincoats to cheese. U.S. elected officials in states bordering Canada, including Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, have warned the trade dispute will hurt local businesses and consumers.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that Canada-based airplane maker Bombardier would no longer be allowed to sell in the United States unless ​it started manufacturing in the states. "NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER ​IN THE UNITED STATES! Their products aren’t good enough!" Trump said in Truth Social post. "If they want our Market, they must ​build here, and stop treating America like a 'piggybank.'" Trump's post, ⁠which comes amid a ⁠growing trade dispute between Washington and Ottawa, ‌was the latest salvo in his campaign to pressure foreign and domestic companies to manufacture more products in the U.S. That objective has...

After its historic victory in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has dropped from 44.4 % of the vote to 43.8% after mail-in ballots were counted, with all other parties gaining abnormally from mail-in ballots. Attorney Dirk Schmitz called this a sign of "systematic manipulation". German elections have been thought to be fairly secure, with mainly in-person same-day voting, photo ID requirements, and a Supreme Court ban on digital voting machines, as I explained to Ben Harnwell on The War Room. German Supreme Court ruled paper-ballots only because electronic voting is effectively unverifiable @CollinFrMcMahon @ben_harnwell pic.twitter.com/BHbVQdvt55...

America is only as strong as the labor that builds it every day. Happy Labor Day. ❤️

NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES! Their products aren’t good enough! Over 50% of their revenue comes from the United States — They live off American Buyers, American Companies, American Airports, and American Service — All while Canada blocks our GREAT American Banks, and Companies, throughout the U.S.A. They even blocked Gulfstream Aerospace from doing business in Canada — Completely unjust and unfair! That Era is OVER! If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a “piggybank.” BUY AMERICAN. FLY ON AMERICAN AIRLINERS. ENJOY AMERICAN LIQUOR AND BEVERAGES. SAIL ON LAKE AMERICA....

(Zero Hedge)—In yet another example of Iranian social media claims not matching up with reality, the nuclear powered Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln is returning home after a 286 day deployment and 5 days of rest at port in Thailand. The ship was untouched by any signs of combat, despite the IRGC claiming on at least three separate occasions that they had sunk the mighty vessel with drones and missile strikes. Iranian aligned accounts even spread AI videos and video game clips of a ship sinking, arguing that the clips showed the Abraham Lincoln. Left wing commentators celebrated the...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani says he will attend New York City's annual 9/11 remembrance ceremony Friday despite mounting criticism from some family members of victims and several prominent Republicans who have called on him to stay away. The controversy centers on the mayor's appointment of Ramzi Kassem as the city's chief legal counsel. Critics have pointed to Kassem's past legal representation of a convicted al Qaeda member whose brother-in-law was among the terrorists who hijacked the plane that struck the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001. A petition launched by relatives of 9/11 victims urging the mayor not to attend the annual...

NASA has decided to develop a more basic version of the lunar spacesuit for the first Moon landings, aiming to meet a 2028 target date. The agency is working with Axiom Space to build what it calls the Sortie Suit, which will be lighter and easier to use than previous models. This new suit is meant for missions that will fly on landers made by SpaceX and Blue Origin. The goal is to reduce the suit’s weight, simplify its construction, and make it easier to connect with the vehicles used for lunar landings. NASA leadership has been pushing to speed...

The U.S. constitution offers the right to bodily integrity, but that does not include access to clean drinking water, a federal court just ruled in a divisive Mississippi case. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upheld a decision to dismiss a lawsuit brought forward by Jackson, Mississippi, residents alleging that city officials knowingly allowed people to drink lead-poisoned water.

AI recap... Trump’s main pointsIn the GB News interview with Bev Turner, President Donald Trump focused mainly on immigration, energy, Iran, the Russia–Ukraine war, Britain’s role in world affairs, artificial intelligence, and his criticism of several British and European leaders. The following recap covers the principal arguments he made in the interview, rather than independently verifying each claim.Britain’s two major problemsTrump said Britain faces two overriding problems: immigration and energy. He argued that the United Kingdom could become wealthy and energy-independent by making much greater use of oil and gas from the North Sea. In his view, Britain possesses a...

Meet Spencer Garrard, a retired professor at Columbus State University and his wife, a woke reverend. Police were called after stolen campaign signs for Georgia House candidate Stephen Acorn traced back to their home via airtag. Watch the full police bodycam footage of them questioning him and recovering the signs from the trash. The officers were extremely patient and professional and he acted like a total a**hole. I’m surprised he didn’t get arrested. Why are the always teachers???

Andy Burnham would like us to believe the small boats crisis is under control. Earlier this month, he said that co-operation between the UK and France “has helped us reduce summer small boat crossings to a seven-year low”. There are lots of facts and figures that can be thrown around. However, the idea that the boats have stopped or been significantly reduced in number is simply not true. Official figures show that in the year ending June 2026, the number of people caught arriving in a dinghy was about 33,000. That’s down from 43,000 in the 12 months to June...

A former senior U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services official and his accomplice are facing charges for an alleged bribery scheme in which they accepted nearly $960,000 in exchange for favors in the processing of immigration benefit applications, including citizenship cases. The former official, Lukman Owolabi Ganiyu, and his financial accomplice, Adeniyi Akeem Somoye, were arrested on federal charges for their roles in an alleged multi‑year scheme to receive illegal gratuities in exchange for manipulating and expediting immigration applications, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Texas. The pair were charged with conspiracy to receive illegal gratuities...

London Mayor Sadiq Khan is reveling in the remaking of St. Paul's Cathedral into a nightclub with events hosted by rave company Fabric. Raves, of course, are all night dance parties where attendees take drugs and use hallucinogens in a bid toward bacchanalian depravity and not a deepening of their Christian faith. St. Paul's is an Anglican cathedral that was consecrated in the year 604. Their archives date back to 1099 and their library, designed by Sir Christopher Wren in 1708, holds over 13,000 volumes and manuscripts going back to the 12th century. Medieval stonework, Grinling Gibbons' wood carvings, and...
