Labour is poised to encourage farmers to give up beef production and plant lentils to help combat climate change. On Wednesday, the Government's long-awaited "farming roadmap" proposed helping landowners switch from high-emission farming – such as cattle – towards "growing oilseeds and pulses" to meet the increased demand for plant-based goods. "Farmers will play a critical role in delivering this transition by adopting practices that reduce emissions while sustaining productive, commercially viable businesses," the Government said. The farming roadmap is intended to set out a long-term vision for British agriculture. It is seen as an attempt by the Government to...

WASHINGTON — Amazon founder Jeff Bezos called the Washington Post his worst investment in a conversation with President Trump months before gutting the newsroom, according to a new book by New York Times journalists Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman. "The people there are terrible," Bezos told Trump over dinner in December 2024, according to an excerpt obtained by The Post ahead of the June 23 release of "Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump." "They don't listen. My other companies, they listen," Bezos said, focusing his ire at the business side of the publication after losing more than...

🚨 NOW: Two anti-ICE rioters in Newark just attempted to play CHICKEN with a Jeep leaving Delaney Hall and ATE ASPHALT These idiots never learn And of course, their “comrades” start screaming “MEDIC!!!” like they’ve just taken artillery fire in WWII🤣🤡 The cosplay is pathetic

[snip] To begin CNN This Morning's discussion of the anti-ICE riots, host Audie Cornish called on Karen Attiah, the creator and leader of the Resistance Summer School. As per its website, the school is: A "structure for radical learning . . . Students will explore how colonial legacies and racial hierarchies shape global politics, diplomacy, conflict, and coverage —and how media systems often reinforce (or resist) these power structures." Take a look below at the school's insignia featuring a clenched fist, a traditional socialist symbol. And it adopts as its motto, "A Luta Continua" [The Struggle Continues.] That was the...

Trump-supporting mortgage banker born in Burlingame, CA. walks through hundreds of violent, masked, profanity-spewing lefties, totally on his own after a recent Trump speech at the local Hyatt Regency near SFO. The tall, suited, brave professional is repeatedly sworn at, jostled, punched, and kicked as he walks along, defiantly. His red Trump hat is repeatedly torn off his head and stolen by pro-immigration activists and racist anti-racists. This is the most violent Trump-related encounter I have ever seen. I believe this is reliable foreshadowing of what is to come and I think THIS is what the tone will be after...

US President Donald Trump reportedly fumed at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a Monday call, calling the premier “fucking crazy” and telling him that everyone “hates Israel” as he demanded Israel agree to a ceasefire with the Hezbollah terror group. Axios’s Barak Ravid cited a US official who summarized Trump’s message to Netanyahu as follows: “You’re fucking crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.” A second source briefed on the call told the outlet that the US president was “pissed” at the prime...

We’ve seen plenty of violent anti-ICE action against the agency in Trump’s second term in office, but this episode goes right at or near the top of the “This Is Nuts" list.It happened in Chicago on Oct. 4, 2025, during an enforcement mission targeting criminal illegal aliens — "Operation Midway Blitz” — on the city's Southwest Side.That’s when Diego Emmanuel Reyes, 21, decided not to throw rocks, not to chant obscenities, but to intentionally ram his SUV into an agent’s vehicle. Newly released video shows that after striking the truck, the driver appears to accelerate, not slow down. Talk about...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A candidate for a Louisville-based Kentucky State House seat recently admitted to taking mail out of the mailbox of a potential voter. Max Morley is running to replace Daniel Grossberg as Kentucky State Representative in the 30th House District, which includes parts of Jefferson County. In a home security camera video reviewed by WHAS11, Morley is seen approaching a porch and ringing the doorbell and knocking on the door. "While campaigning, I exhibited a lack of judgment. This isn’t acceptable, and it’s something I’m deeply sorry for. I apologize to the homeowner. I want one thing to...

First lady Melania Trump savagely criticized ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel as a “coward” after he referred to her as “an expectant widow” two days before Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner. “Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America,” Trump, 56, wrote in a post on X. The comic is facing severe backlash after Saturday’s shooting at the gala dinner, in which a Secret Service agent suffered minor injuries after a gunman charged a checkpoint in a bid to...

The “tolerant” left is at it again, and this time, it’s coming from the “Golden Years” crowd. Two elderly leftists in Arlington Heights, Illinois, have been arrested and charged after a months-long investigation into the disgusting vandalism of the Republicans of Wheeling Township headquarters. According to the Arlington Heights Police Department, 72-year-old Brock McNerney and 69-year-old Moisette McNerney were taken into custody on Monday in connection with the defacement of the headquarters last January. The pair now face misdemeanor charges of criminal damage to property and criminal defacement of property under Illinois law. Authorities say the arrests were made without...

The Paramount+ 'Star Trek' show will end after its already filmed second season.So much for Paramount+‘s Gen Z Star Trek show.The streamer has decided to end Star Trek: Starfleet Academy after season two. Starfleet Academy had recently finished airing its debut season. Paramount+ had (rather optimistically, as it turned out) already ordered a second season, which recently wrapped production. Starfleet Academy has been a polarizing entry in the Trek canon. Many critics have celebrated the show for focusing on a younger generation and its coming-of-age themes. On social media, the show has been a frequent target of mockery from those...

Since the start of the Trump administration’s “Operation Metro Surge” in Minnesota, federal prosecutors have reportedly charged 158 anti-ICE agitators with federal crimes, including “FACE Act violations, conspiracy charges, and obstruction of federal agents.” Some of the offenses carry penalties of up to 20 years in prison. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced last week that she “expect more arrests to come” as the Justice Department is poised to crack down on similar anti-ICE insurgencies nationwide. Those arrested in Minnesota include nine agitators who disrupted a church service (including Don Lemon, and a number of “ICE Watch” insurgents who “blocked, assaulted,...

Fifteen locations have been shut down since Monday, and anti-ICE protesters have shown up...

Those enforcing the law are blamed, those breaking it are excused, and the public is told that the only way to stop the disorder is to surrender authority. Fifty-five years ago, Democrat activist and community organizer Saul Alinsky published Rules for Radicals. Its stated purpose was not reform, persuasion, or compromise, but disruption -- manufacturing chaos, provoking conflict, and inciting revolution as a means of political change. Alinsky was explicit: power is seized, not earned, and the ends always justify the means. More than half a century later, the book has not faded into obscurity. It remains the Left’s operating...

Democratic Minnesota state Rep. Brad Tabke posted over 20 updates to his X account Thursday documenting ICE agent sightings across Shakopee, Prior Lake, and Savage — suburbs about 25 miles southwest of Minneapolis. Throughout the day, Tabke shared the real-time locations of ICE agents and vehicles, including sightings near gas stations, a Panera, and shopping centers in the Southbridge area. Tabke also described how to identify unmarked ICE vehicles. “Every other car on Marschall and 101 today is ICE if you know what to look for: Missing front or front & back plate … Out of state plates … Tinted...

It was one week ago when anti-ICE rioters stormed Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, to disrupt a peaceful Christian worship service, terrorizing congregants and their children. Now, what are being called "horrifying new details" are emerging that provide an even more disturbing picture of what actually took place. Tyler O'Neil, senior editor at the Daily Signal posted on Sunday a series of excerpts from the probable cause affidavit prepared by Timothy Gerber, a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations. ADVERTISEMENT "The invasion of Cities Church was even worse than we thought," O'Neil began. "Agitators blocked stairs so 'parents were...

Every Jewish child, even if he knows nothing else, knows one question: מַה נִּשְׁתַּנָּה, הַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה מִכָּל הַלֵּילוֹת. That question comes from the Passover service, when a child asks those at the table, “Why is this night different from all other nights?” The answer, of course, is that Passover is the night on which we commemorate how God liberated the Jews from Egyptian slavery, a moment that led to the seminal Ten Commandments and the return to their land.AdvertisementIt is, in other words, an important question: Why is this one thing different from all other things? (For the non-Jewish among...
