The court plans to hand down its...

Brussels doubles down on gender, diversity, and decarbonisation while Europe’s strategic and social problems are pushed aside. The European Commission has just made public its political priorities for 2026, and the result is hard to justify from any minimally realistic perspective. In an international context marked by war, geopolitical competition, energy insecurity, and internal social deterioration, Brussels has chosen to double down on an ideological agenda that appears utterly detached from the material reality facing Europeans. While much of the world is moving towards more pragmatic positions on foreign policy, defence, and economic sovereignty, the European Union insists on turning...

Many of the troops and ships once at the president’s disposal have shifted to the Caribbean.The Trump administration has insisted it has numerous military options to deploy against Iran if the regime uses force against demonstrators. But that menu is far more limited than it was even a year ago. The U.S. troops and ships that were once at the president’s disposal have shifted to the Caribbean. A major American defense system sent to the Middle East last year has returned to South Korea. And administration officials say there are no plans for the movement of major assets. The president...

President Donald Trump declared that he will be cutting off federal funds to sanctuary jurisdictions across the country beginning in February. The White House will cease all federal payments to city and state governments that restrict cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities, Trump said Tuesday while addressing the Detroit Economic Club.

Mattel's first-ever autistic Barbie is facing backlash from critics who claim the doll is offensive to people with neurodiversity and 'reinforces stereotypes'. The American toymaker said that the doll, which features a fidget spinner, noise-cancelling headphones, and a shifted eye gaze, was designed 'with guidance from the community' in a bid to 'change the narrative on neurodivergence'. The new doll, developed in partnership with the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN), aims to represent some of the ways autistic people may experience, process, and communicate about the world around them. Along with a new face sculpt, its features include elbow and...

America First Legal said in a petition, first reviewed by Fox News Digital, that the CFPB should encourage mortgage lenders to focus strictly on the creditworthiness of homebuyers. The CFPB’s Regulation C, which requires the lenders to track and report race and sex, is unconstitutional, the group argued. "The disclosure of this information leaves applicants vulnerable to...

<p>Stephen King and music. How much of a musical maverick can we consider someone whose wife nearly left him because of his obsession with ‘Mambo No. 5’?</p><p>So, I repeat, how much of a musical maverick can we consider someone whose wife nearly left him because of his obsession with ‘Mambo No. 5’? Well, it turns out, a lot of people value the opinion of this horror author when it comes to music. As someone pretty intrinsically linked with the world of rock ‘n’ roll, many consider King a go-to when it comes to head-banging recommendations, and as such, when he was doing interviews for the recent film adaptation of The Long Walk, people asked for his take on some music.</p>
