    A man suspected of gathering information on Jewish locations and individuals in Berlin for Iranian intelligence, possibly with a view to carrying out attacks, has been arrested in Denmark, German prosecutors say. The Danish national, identified only as Ali S., was arrested on Thursday in the Danish city of Aarhus, federal prosecutors say in a statement. They say that the man was tasked by an Iranian intelligence service early this year with gathering information on “Jewish localities and specific Jewish individuals” in Berlin and spied on three properties in June.

    Secretary of State Marco Rubio has pushed America-First, anti-terrorism, law and order into the center of the tourist visitor filter. Unstable extremists need not apply for visas to enter the USA, and anyone creating a social disturbance is subject to visa cancellation. This is the same standard of behavior that is applied by all other countries for U.S. tourists in foreign visits; however, as Marco Rubio and the U.S. State Department enforce this expectation the domestic extremists and agitators are extremely agitated. The latest example comes from a British punk/rap duo who decry American colonialism, profess severe antisemitism and promotion...

It was next to the barbershop.“His chest was wide open. They cut out his heart. They put it on top of his chest,” said his father, Rashid Saad. It was late afternoon on March...

    The mighty task of the post-Glastonbury clean-up got underway this morning as volunteers were left sorting through mounds of plastic waste, drug paraphernalia and hippy crack canisters. Glastonbury revellers have long been accused of hypocrisy for leaving Worthy Farm buried under heaps of waste - despite the virtue-signalling eco-conscious event preaching sustainability.

    “Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country.”The State Department has officially revoked the visas for Bob Vylan, the British rap duo who went viral over the weekend after leading a chant at England’s annual Glastonbury Music Festival that called for the death of Israeli soldiers. A senior State Department official confirmed to The Daily Wire that the visas were revoked on Monday, ahead of the duo’s roughly twenty-city tour through the United States, with performances planned in several major cities, including Washington, D.C. “The @StateDept has revoked the US visas for the members of...

    Bob Vylan have had their US visas revoked over their "hateful tirade at Glastonbury", a Trump official has said. It comes after the band were dropped by their talent agency following their anti-IDF chant at the music festival. The BBC has said it regrets not pulling the live stream of the "unacceptable" Glastonbury set, with Ofcom saying the broadcaster had "questions to answer". The corporation has faced mounting criticism over airing the performance on Glastonbury's West Holts Stage, during which the rap-punk duo's frontman Bobby Vylan led chants of, "free, free Palestine", and "death, death to the IDF [Israel Defence...

    Michael Madigan, connected to Obama, Bill Ayers and Andrew Weissmann, was sentenced to 7.5 years in prison this past week for corruption. Who would have predicted this? Michael Madigan ran the state of Illinois like a mobster for more than three decades. He used his power to crush anyone and any entity that dared oppose him on anything. He is the definition of a pure politician. He is now going to prison. Michael Madigan, the country’s longest-serving state House leader, served as speaker of the Illinois House from 1983 until 2021, with the exception of two years. Along the way,...

    The Likud Party has experienced a significant rise following the war with Iran…The survey reveals that Likud gained 4 seats, increasing its total to 26, up from 22 in the previous poll. This marks the first time since October 2024 that Likud has surpassed Naftali Bennett’s new party, which has dropped to 24 seats. Although Likud is strengthening, the shift primarily reflects changes within the coalition bloc. Otzma Yehudit, led by Itamar Ben-Gvir, has lost two seats, dropping to 6. Meanwhile…the Democrats, led by Yair Golan, have gained ground, rising to 12 seats at the expense of Yesh Atid, the...

    Senator Kirsten Gillibrand from New York has strongly challenged Mayor Zoran Mamdani’s controversial remarks regarding the Intifada, asserting that if democratic socialists are serious about leading New York City, they must openly denounce it. Gillibrand, known for her pro-Israel stance, criticized Mamdani for not rejecting the “globalization of Intifadas,” particularly as he requested a sit-down to further explain his position. “As the leader of a city as diverse as New York, home to the largest Jewish population in the country, he should take a clear stand,” Gillibrand remarked during a conversation on WNYC. The senator pointed out that it’s insufficient...

    Presidential envoy Steve Witkoff deserves a great deal of credit for what followed in the aftermath of President Trump’s final elimination of the Iranian nuclear threat. Throughout the 12-day war, Witkoff maintained a diplomatic connection to the Iranian delegation in order to position a ceasefire upon conclusion. The Trump administration is now taking a more firm stance toward who in Iran they will accept negotiations with. As noted by Secretary Rubio, the use of intermediaries has exhausted its usefulness. While Qatar may play a role as an interlocutor to bridge the two sides, the time has come for direct face-to-face...

    After the US strike on Iran earlier this week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump agreed on a rapid end to the war in Gaza and expansion of the Abraham Accords, Israel Hayom reports, citing “a source familiar with the conversation.” According to the outlet, Trump and Netanyahu agreed in a phone call that the war in Gaza would end within two weeks. Four Arab states, including the UAE and Egypt, would jointly govern the Gaza Strip in place of Hamas. The terror group’s leadership would be exiled, and all hostages would be released.

    NEW YORK — The Hamas terrorist organization has claimed responsibility for the results of last night's mayoral primary in New York City. "Our glorious freedom fighters have delivered an attack on New York City that the Great Satan will not soon forget," stated Hamas spokesman Abu Obaida. "We take responsibility for the heroic operation that has begun the city's deliverance to Allah. The intifada has been globalized."

    Could you explain the origins of the title, Good Muslim, Bad Muslim? Is it not the case that the US - or the West generally - should be supporting moderate, secular forces within the Muslim world to counteract extremist, fundamentalist currents? MAMDANI: Even when Bush speaks of "good" Muslims and "bad" Muslims, what he means by "good" Muslims is really pro-American Muslims and by "bad" Muslims he means anti-American Muslims. Once you recognize that, then it is no longer puzzling why good Muslims are becoming bad Muslims at such a rapid rate. You can actually begin to think through that...

    When I was a little girl, my mother used to call me her “Mississippi Masala.” A term of endearment and, as I would later come to find out, a reference: the nickname almost perfectly encapsulated my particular diasporic experience. My Pakistani parents moved to the United States in the 1990s, settling down in Mobile, Alabama—a town that is just about as south as you can get before plunging into the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. People are shocked when my birthplace is revealed. To many, a Muslim South Asian family has no place in the flattened conception of...
