Germany's Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party has been designated as right-wing extremist by the country's federal office for the protection of the constitution. "The ethnicity- and ancestry-based understanding of the people prevailing within the party is incompatible with the free democratic order," the domestic intelligence agency said in a statement. The AfD came second in federal elections in February, winning a record 152 seats in the 630-seat parliament with 20.8% of the vote. The parliament, or Bundestag, will hold a vote next week to confirm conservative leader Friedrich Merz as chancellor, heading a coalition with the centre-left Social Democrats. The...

In a sudden and unexplained change from previous decades, the federal government has stopped covering the travel costs of Canadian experts volunteering for the next major global climate science assessment. The decision to end travel funding means that Canadian scientists are now wondering whether they can still participate in the United Nations climate science process, perhaps by using their own money or diverting grant funds that could be going toward research and students. Sarah Burch, a professor at the University of Waterloo who studies climate adaptation, urban planning and governance, is a lead author on the IPCC's upcoming report on...

What’s lost in all the doomcasting is that Americans — particularly Democrats — are behind Trump’s goal to achieve truly free trade deals.Fueled by fear, nearly three-quarters of Americans surveyed believed President Donald Trump’s tariffs would hurt the U.S. economy in the short-term, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday. The sentiment check dropped as the Trump administration announced a 90-day pause on his reciprocal tariffs, with the exception of serial free-trade abuser China. Instantaneously, the battered markets surged. Trump said he paused his sweeping reciprocal tariffs on the many nations who have long screwed the U.S. consumer because...

Financial experts are seeing a spike in affluent working Americans looking to resettle in Europe. They say it's time for Europe to prepare for their arrival. Russian-American *Julia had wanted to leave the United States for a couple of years, but the start of President Donald Trump’s second term forced her to start taking the idea seriously.

The anesthesiologist worked on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis in New York City...

Under unpopular Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the United Kingdom continues to devolve into a censorship state devoted to the Globalist agenda. The examples abound, but this week, a court decision put the issue of the transatlantic relationship with Donald J. Trump’s United States in the spotlight. A pro-life activist was found guilty on Friday (4) of breaching an order banning protests outside an abortion clinic in southern England. Reuters reported: “Livia Tossici-Bolt, 64, the leader of a branch of U.S. Christian group ’40 Days for Life’, was prosecuted for breaching a “safe zone” in the immediate area around the...

President Donald Trump has built another wall, and he thinks everyone else is going to pay for it. But his decision to impose sweeping tariffs of at least 10% on almost every product that enters the US is essentially a wall designed to keep work and jobs within it, rather than immigrants out. The height of this wall needs to be put in historical context. It takes the US back a century in terms of protectionism. It catapults the US way above the G7 and G20 nations into levels of customs revenue, associated with Senegal, Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan. What occurred...

In 2016, when Donald J. Trump did the unthinkable and beat Hillary Clinton—a woman so ensconced in the halls of Davosian power she might as well have been issued a United Nations passport—the architects of the so-called "Rules-Based International Order" felt a tremor under their polished marble floors. For decades, this Order—an alliance of bureaucrats, multinationals, intelligence agencies, and supranational institutions—had operated under the conceit that history had ended, that global governance would henceforth supersede national sovereignty. Trump's triumph threatened their theology. To these globalist mandarins, Trump’s insurgency was not merely electoral; it was heretical. He dared to question NATO’s...

US President Donald Trump has shown a callous disregard for the checks and balances that have long protected American democracy. As the self-described ‘king’ makes a momentous power grab, much of the world watches anxiously, aware that his administration’s growing illegality and corruption is eroding not only the US Constitution but what remains of the post-1945 international order. A return to great-power spheres of interest looks increasingly likely. But foreign governments, businesses and civil-society groups have more power than they think in the face of a revisionist United States. They can take five steps to create external checks and balances...

Last October, in the home stretch of the US presidential campaign, Donald Trump told supporters at a rally in Atlanta that he was “not a Nazi”. He was reacting to comments by his former chief of staff, John Kelly, who said in an interview that during his first term in office, Trump more than once suggested that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler “did some good things”. Kelly said that after consulting a dictionary he concluded that Trump “certainly” met the definition of a fascist. Since the start of Trump’s second term as US president, comparisons between his administration and the Nazi...

NEW DELHI, March 6 (Reuters) - Action to curb global warming is at risk from a "triple negative" effect triggered by the return of U.S. President Donald Trump to the White House, Brazil said on Thursday, as it prepares to host U.N. climate talks later this year.

Brazil's Environment and Climate Change Minister Marina Silva told reporters in Delhi, speaking through a translator, the "increasingly complex geopolitical context", characterised by turmoil and...

... "This was a desperate attempt in cooperation with Brussels."

“Betrayed!,” shouts the headline in Der Spiegel, Germany’s top left-wing news outlet. “Trump’s embrace of Putin is a Molotov-Ribbentrop crisis for Europe,” declares Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in the London Daily Telegraph. The putatively pro-Trump New York Post devoted its Feb. 21 front page to an extended screed against the US president by neocon wordsmith Douglas Murray. From the howling in the war camp, you’d think it was the end of the world. But it’s not the end of the world: It’s just the end of them. Nothing fails like failure, and the twenty-year campaign to launch regime change in Russia from...

President Trump said Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin will accept European peacekeeping troops in Ukraine as part of a potential peace deal to end the three-year-old war. “Yeah, he will accept that.

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum filed a controversial series of changes to the country’s constitution that would essentially block any investigation or action by foreign law enforcement agencies without their permission. The provisions could enable Mexico to criminally pursue anyone involved in those investigations. The changes come after the United States designated six Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and announced the intent to eradicate them. This week, Sheinbaum filed a series of changes to the country’s constitution that, if approved by the legislative branch, would change Articles 40 and 19 of Mexico’s constitution. “What we want to make clear...
