It starts off looking harmless. You’ve pulled into a petrol station, you’re in a rush, maybe even heading off on holiday, and a stranger at the next pump leans over with a polite smile. ‘Could you put five euros on your card for me? I’ll give you the cash now.’ It sounds like nothing – a neighbourly gesture, a quick favour. But what many drivers in Spain don’t realise is that this “harmless” exchange is the basis of a clever new scam sweeping petrol stations across the country. And those five euros? They could end up draining your bank account...

That compares to 4% of conservatives and 7% of moderates. But even among the very liberal, the share who say it's unacceptable to feel joy about the deaths of political opponents outnumbers those who say it's acceptable by a ratio of more than 2 to 1 (56%...

In a small reception room in a hospital in Dnipro, in south-central Ukraine, Viktoria Lants struggled to look at the computer screen as a forensic worker shuffled through photos of the remains catalogued in the overwhelmed morgue. Some images were of badly damaged bodies, military clothing and a pocket knife. When her family was led into a refrigerated unit to view one body, her eyes lingered on a wooden cross. Lant's 31-year old son, Vladyslav Kharkov was given a similar one by his grandmother before he was sent to the front line over the summer. The last time she spoke...

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating social media posts by at least seven different accounts that appeared to indicate foreknowledge of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, according to three people familiar with the investigation and screenshots obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. The posts—one of which referenced the date of Kirk’s assassination, September 10, more than a month before it took place—were all deleted in the days following the killing. Several of the accounts appear to belong to transgender individuals, and at least one of them followed suspect Tyler Robinson's roommate, with whom Robinson was allegedly in a relationship,...

At London’s huge “Unite the Kingdom” anti-immigration rally organized by Tommy Robinson, Elon Musk addressed over 100,000 protesters via video, calling for regime change in the UK and warning that “violence is coming” if mass migration continues. Musk blamed Britain’s political left for “slow destruction” of the nation, denounced the “woke mind virus,” and said those in the “reasonable middle” must act before violence reaches them. He invoked the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk in the US, accusing the left of celebrating “murder,” and slammed the government for failing to protect citizens—calling for the “dissolution of Parliament” and fresh...

...He was a man of faith, proudly Christian, and he needed no professors to make him so. He was not college-educated. Neither was Abraham Lincoln. Today’s elite colleges are a stain on our culture. Charlie Kirk debated both listeners and antisemitic hecklers. The best of us learn from what is good and bad in ourselves, and in others. Charlie Kirk was a Zionist, as are all good Americans. To reach the divine we turn to King David and his Psalms, written originally in Jerusalem and in Hebrew. So it is to Israel where America must go for its salvation. The...
