    Hunter Biden has reportedly fled the US and is $17 million in debt. Why doesn’t Hunter Biden just sell a few pieces of his highly coveted art?

Last year Laura Loomer obtained photos of Hunter Biden, his second wife Melissa Cohen, and their toddler son, Beau, on a lavish vacation in Cape Town, South Africa,...

    PJ Media ^ | 4/6/26 | Catherine Salgado
    In Pakistan and Nigeria, some Christians found their Easter turned into a day of mourning after jihadi attacks reportedly caused mass casualty events. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu talked about persecuted Christians for his Easter message, but heads of supposedly Christian countries in the West ignored the issue. Islamic terrorists often choose holidays to target Christians with deadly violence, and Easter 2026 was tragically no exception. European media outlet Visegrád 24 shared on X on April 5, “Reports of a potential Islamist terror attack against Pakistani Christians on Easter morning. A man rammed a truck into a large Christian procession...

    A diplomatic memo shared with Gulf allies and obtained by international media has revealed the "dire" medical condition of Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Ali Khamenei and his presumed successor. According to intelligence assessments from both Israel and the United States, the younger Khamenei is currently paralyzed and unconscious in a medical facility in the holy city of Qom. He was reportedly wounded during the initial Israeli air strike campaign, known as "Operation Genesis," and has not been seen or heard from in public since he was named to his father's position early last month. This revelation confirms...
  • Who Enabled Iran To Down An American F-15E Fighter Jet?

    MEMRI ^ | 04/06/26 | Yigal Carmon
    “Unlike Russia and China, which would need to independently find the technical means of downing the F-15, and unlike Turkey, which lacks such sophisticated capabilities, Qatar had all the secrets handed to them with the sale of F-15QA. All that was necessary was to give them to Iran. There is no known indication that the Russians or Chinese have overcome the technological problem of downing an American F-15E, whereas it is known that Qatar had the solution already in their hands. It would be advisable that the DOD experts who investigate the downing of the U.S. F-15E check the risk...

    Poll in Spain: Trump and Netanyahu are seen as two of the three most dangerous leaders in the world. Trump was ranked as the biggest threat to world peace, followed by Russian President Putin.

The Spanish government is considered the most hawkish in Europe against Israel and President Trump's policies. Why it matters: The survey reflects the worsening criticism in Spain towards Israel and the US, also among citizens and not just...
