@MLP_officiel Translated from French Yes, I am a candidate in the presidential election. With Jordan Bardella, we are going to launch this presidential campaign, and it is together that we will go convince the French that we are the only ones who can make good decisions to change their future.

Francken just had a bad idea and acted on it. In today’s NATO summit in Turkey, Belgium is one of the lowest-investing countries in the alliance – and now, its Defense Minister has gone on a limb against Donald J. Trump because of his social media spat with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken is aware that Europe needs the U.S. to defend the continent, and he thinks the alliance leaders should be careful not to alienate Trump. While the Trump-Meloni spat escalated on Sunday with the US President posting a photo of Meloni, joking that...

Viral social media posts claiming that US Senator Mitch McConnell is “brain dead” have sparked widespread speculation about his health. The rumours surfaced after conservative activist Laura Loomer shared unverified claims online while the longtime Kentucky senator remained hospitalised following a medical emergency in June. However, McConnell’s office has continued to say that he is recovering and has not confirmed the viral allegations. Here’s what is officially known, what remains unverified and why the rumours have spread so quickly. There is no official evidence that Mitch McConnell has been declared brain dead. The claim began circulating on social media after...

@PolitlcsUK WATCH: Nigel Farage threatens a Sky News journalist who asks about his undeclared gifts from convicted criminal George Cottrell "You harass my family anymore, there will be serious consequences" A Sky News spokesperson said: "Sky News has not contacted anyone from his family about the story" UPDATE: Farage denies Sky News' claim that they didn't harass his family "This is an outright lie from Sky News. They hounded my daughter at her house, just days after The Times published where she lives. Despicable behaviour from the media"

Unusual timing: Elaine Chao met China's vice president in Beijing three days after McConnell's hospitalisation, prompting questions about priorities and public perception. Health concerns: Medical experts warn McConnell, 84, is 'unfit to serve' after reported cardiac arrest and prolonged hospital stay, urging him to retire immediately. Political stakes: McConnell's condition fuels speculation over early retirement and the potential for a Democrat to fill his Senate seat before his planned departure.

"Think of it," Mr. Trump said. "Children that are born without money, without any money, great parents, they can have everything can be great, but they have no money. They could become very wealthy children at 18."

BREAKING NEWS 📰📰📰: Police Release Sketch of Joe Biden's Autopen (My Title)

Charlie Kirk's accused killer, Tyler Robinson, is back in court this week as prosecutors begin presenting evidence during his preliminary hearing. Robinson is charged with assassinating Kirk, and the weeklong hearing is expected to include surveillance video, forensic evidence, digital records, and testimony aimed at determining whether there is enough evidence for the case to move to trial. Kirk's parents and widow are expected to attend the proceedings, while court officials have implemented heightened security for the high-profile case.

Uefa has strongly criticised Fifa's shock decision not to uphold Folarin Balogun's automatic ban at this World Cup, calling it "unprecedented, incomprehensible and unjustifiable". United States striker Balogun, who was sent off against Bosnia-Herzegovina, should have served a suspension for the last-16 tie against Belgium. (Tuesday) But World Cup organisers Fifa, the governing body of world football, opted not to enforce an immediate sanction on the 25-year-old, meaning the co-hosts' leading goalscorer will be available to play. Uefa, European football's governing body, said that intervening to effectively cancel a suspension at a tournament "crossed a red line". Of the 188...

U.S. — With several areas across the globe battling record high temperatures, Americans have graciously offered to help by turning their air conditioning down to 65 degrees and opening the windows. Several European counties, unable to afford air conditioning due to their technological ignorance and desperate poverty, have begged for someone to step up and save them. Once again, America is coming to the rescue. "Well, well. Look who needs America to save them again," said local man Ben Fields. "Poor Europe, whining about climate change, when we have a machine that changes the climate inside every house. It's no...

Did you know that the number of Americans that are out of work right now is far higher than it was at any point during the Great Recession? I know that sounds crazy, but I will prove it to you in this article. A whopping 111 million Americans do not have a job, and we are spending more than a trillion dollars a year on the social safety net that supports them. Of course we cannot afford to do this, because the national debt has already reached 39 trillion dollars and it is growing at an astounding rate. If we...

The midterm election is less than four months away, and Republicans hold majorities in both houses of Congress, yet their track record has been abysmal. Other than the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” congressional Republicans have delivered little for their supporters. Republican voters are surely wondering why they gave the GOP the majority in both houses of Congress in the 2024 election. ADVERTISEMENT President Donald Trump is doing everything he can, with a flurry of Executive Orders, but it is impossible to implement his ambitious agenda without the support of Congress. This type of opposition occurred during his first term. Trump...

Tesla cars are constantly capturing video data from all their cars that is sent back to their servers. No doubt, this data could be used to track criminals or anyone else by a query to the database. I have not seen this discussed anywhere, but seems like LE or those with ill intent could see this as a treasure. I saw this post: This little blue dot on your phone is a revolutionary invention https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4386790/posts and it made me remember this question. Tesla uses the data to improve their self driving algorithms so billions of videos are uploaded from cars...

I’ve been writing about whiskey for nearly a decade and drinking it for much longer. I’m quite familiar with WhistlePig, Old Overholt, Jack Daniel’s and Stranahan’s. But High Bank, Lost Woods, The Notch Nantucket and O.K.I.? A few of those I know by name but couldn’t tell you a thing about their liquid. And yet, all of those distilleries and producers just won big at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC). Founded in 2000, the SFWSC is the longest-running spirits competition in North America and the largest of its kind. Judges award Bronze, Silver and Gold medals throughout a...
