How ludicrous is that? Firearms have been around for a thousand years in one form or another. There are over a billion of them in circulation around the world, around 85% of them in civilian hands, largely thanks to the U.S. (private American citizens own over half of all guns, at 533 million in 2025). The UK pretends that this technology doesn't exist and makes it illegal to own them, even if the blaster is a GIFT from another world leader to the PRIME MINISTER. Starmer, who apparently doesn't have an ounce of testosterone in his body, was reportedly baffled...

A Kuwaiti man who obtained a green card in the U.S. is being sent home after he called America “the enemy” and expressed support for terrorists. Tareq Alkhudari entered the country on a non-immigrant student visa in 2014 to attend San Jose State University, a source familiar with the situation said. He gained lawful permanent resident status in November 2024, but is now in federal custody pending removal from the United States after Secretary of State Marco Rubio terminated his legal status. In posts from his Instagram and Bluesky accounts, Alkhudari repeatedly expresses disdain for the United States and white...

The actor put the five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom home on the market nearly a decade after buying it for $3.9 million and completing an extensive renovation of the property The listing comes just weeks after Quaid publicly criticized California’s taxes, government services and wildfire response, saying those frustrations helped drive his move to Nashville. “It used to be...

[Translated from Dutch] We fell off our seats when we received the following video. It turns out to be a video of Kunstencentrum KAAP from Bruges and Ostend. That arts center ‘deserves’ 68% of its turnover by simply reaching out its hand to the Flemish Government, which then invests 2 million euros every year. With that 2 million euros, KAAP organizes, really, you hold on, “decolonizing” dance projects. You will see an example of such a ‘decolonizing’ dance in annex. Have we become collectively mad or what? No, but really, seriously, the Flemish Government is losing! There is money short,...

The Case for America takes on one of the most contested legal battles in modern American history - the true story of January 6th. Host Treniss Evans is joined by attorney Roger Roots and retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Ivan Raiklin to dismantle what they call a five-year government narrative built on the word "insurrection." Roots argues the DOJ systematically overcharged and over-sentenced J6 defendants with felony charges unprecedented in American history, while filing a sweeping 90-plus-page civil complaint on behalf of hundreds of Jers. Raiklin says the statute of limitations on that testimony expires in just three weeks, and he's...

War is back on in Iran on Wednesday after Tehran launched attacks on trade vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he considers the tentative ceasefire with Iran to be "over," telling reporters alongside NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte at the alliance's annual summit in Ankara, Turkey, that the agreement had become "a waste of time." "For me, I think it's over," Trump said. "As far as I'm concerned it's just a waste of time." "They're liars," Trump said. "We make a deal. ... They go outside, talk to the press. They say, 'We never even...

Case was funded by 'orgy-loving racist' Max Mosley and actor Hugh Grant, says Dacre.Former Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre has given his reaction to an “overwhelming” High Court privacy trial victory versus Prince Harry saying the case was a “conspiracy” to destroy the paper. “Prince Harry wrote a sad book which boasted about his killing of 25 Taliban, his drug-taking and, in cringe-making detail, how he lost his virginity. There isn’t a laundry in the cosmos big enough to wash all the dirty linen he has aired about his own family. For him to complain about HIS privacy being invaded...

Citizen Vigilante star Armie Hammer is out spreading the word in Woke Hollywood that he considers his own movie to be “hateful” and “disgusting.” “The first time he saw it, he was in tears,” someone described as a “source in Hammer’s camp” told the far-left Puck. “He called me and said, ‘F*ck. This is hateful, disgusting.’” “I think he knew it certainly leaned toward the right, but Uwe works in a very frantic way,” the source added. “It’s not like he sent him a hundred-page script. When he saw the final product, he was, ‘That was not the movie I...

@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."
