Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has slammed Sir Keir Starmer's expected deal with Brussels as European trawlermen look set to plunder Britain's coastal waters until 2038. Reacting to the announcement of the deal, Farage, the Clacton MP, said: "If true that will be the end of the fishing industry." Farage told GB News the deal was "an abject surrender - the end of the fishing industry", later blasting the Prime Minister as a "north London lawyer". Speaking to The Telegraph, Farage asked: "Why would a north London lawyer care?" It comes as British fishermen brace for European trawlermen to be...

Ezekiel Emanuel said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that there are a lot of life-extending treatments available to treat former President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer. Emanuel said, “When you have a lesion that’s in the bone, and therefore it’s metastatic and incurable, the prostate cancer will not go away. He will have it, that doesn’t mean he’s going to die from it because there are a lot of treatments. There’s androgen blockade that’s basically preventing the testosterone from circulating. There’s also androgen receptor signaling inhibitors, a second line of treatment that prevents, when the androgen does bind to the cell...

Jason Collier, a special education teacher in Virginia, often needs to wait until payday to fill up the gas tank of his car — and in the meantime hopes he doesn’t run out. “Money is tight when you’re a teacher,” Collier, 46, said. Now he’s afraid that the U.S. Department of Education will soon garnish up to 15% of his wages because he’s behind on his student debt payments. Collier said he hasn’t been able to meet his monthly bill for years, while juggling the expenses of raising two children and medical expenses from a cancer diagnosis. If his paycheck...

CBS News President and CEO Wendy McMahon announced Monday she was stepping down in another stunning move for the embattled company, Fox News Digital has confirmed. Her exit follows that of longtime "60 Minutes" producer Bill Owens, who quit last month because he felt he'd lost journalistic independence amid an ongoing legal battle with President Donald Trump. "Today, I am stepping down from my position as president and CEO of CBS News and Stations and CBS Media Ventures. It has been one of the most meaningful chapters in my career. Leading this extraordinary organization has been the honor of a...

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei launched a blistering verbal assault on the United States and President Donald Trump during a nationally televised speech, calling Trump a liar who brings shame on the American people, as the regime’s signature chant “Death to America” rang out repeatedly. The remarks were aired Saturday on Iran’s state-run Channel 1 and featured a crowd erupting multiple times into chants of “Death to America,” “Death to England,” and “Death to Israel,” as Khamenei accused U.S. leaders of using military power to spread war. “Some of the things the U.S. President said in his recent visit...

A top oncologist who once worked for former President Joe Biden claimed Monday that his old boss must have had prostate cancer long before Sunday’s public announcement of his diagnosis and suggested the oldest-ever president may even have had the disease for “a decade.”

A STEYN I-TOLD-YOU-SO MOMENT: As I have written often, the consistent message from the permanent ruling class around the west is that nothing will be permitted to change on anything that matters. Of the two principal popular revolts of almost a decade ago - the Trump election and the Brexit vote - the jury is still out on Trump 47 (America's last chance), but Brexit is dead. A theme of my book The Prisoner of Windsor is that there is no Brexit. It never happened - or, perhaps more precisely, it was never permitted to happen. And so, as the...

The U.S. Federal Reserve just pulled off something stealthy — over four days last week, without fanfare, the Fed vacuumed up $43.6 billion in U.S. Treasurys. That’s $8.8 billion in long-dated 30-year bonds on May 8 alone, plus another $34.8 billion earlier in the week. Not exactly small change…. … Commodity traders, in particular, have a nose for monetary sleight-of-hand. Gold GC00, the ultimate financial cynic’s metal, has risen sharply since early 2024. Gold doesn’t believe in politicians, central bankers or economists — even the Ivy League types who wave their hands and promise stability. It believes numbers. But this...

Dr. Zeke Emanuel, a former associate professor at Harvard Medical School, tells Morning Joe’s Joe Scarborough that Joe Biden definitely had prostate cancer while he was president

Scott Adams, the influential author, cartoonist, and pundit, revealed Monday that he is suffering from metastasized prostate cancer — the same diagnosis President Joe Biden reported the day before. “I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has,” Adams said. “I also have prostate cancer that has also spread to my bones.” “My life expectancy is maybe this summer,” he said. He said that he was considering ending his own life, as California law allows, using self-administered drugs. “I’m in pain,” he said, “I’m always in pain.” He said he had come to terms with his condition. “It’s kind of...

No update on the seven yutes seen on camera jostling open a door and 11 escaping, with 4 being recaptured soon after. Authorities suspect that family members are helping hiding the escapees. And we all pay for such insight!

CNN analyst Brian Stelter has questioned the timing of Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis announcement — insisting it’s “extraordinary” the news broke just as the former president was battling an onslaught of criticism over his mental decline while in the White House. “The timing … is just extraordinary,” the anchor said on the left-leaning network Sunday. “We know from the statement from his personal spokesman that Biden learned of the diagnosis on Friday. “Well, what was the biggest Biden story on Friday? It was the release of those audio excerpts from his conversations with Robert Hur back in 2023,” he noted.

Joe Biden, 82, spoke out for the first time since his cancer diagnosis with a social media post on Monday morning. 'Cancer touches us all,' the former president wrote on X with a selfie of him sporting a brave smile alongside a somber-looking former first lady Jill Biden, who is holding their gray tabby cat Willow. 'Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places,' Biden added. 'Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.' The post comes just hours after Biden's personal office revealed that he was diagnosed...

The U.S. Federal Reserve just pulled off something stealthy — over four days last week, without fanfare, the Fed vacuumed up $43.6 billion in U.S. Treasurys. That’s $8.8 billion in long-dated 30-year bonds on May 8 alone, plus another $34.8 billion earlier in the week. Not exactly small change. Quietly returning to the quantitative-easing trough isn’t standard Fed housekeeping — it’s like a bank robber returning to the scene because he forgot his car keys.

Agitators are planning a not-too-surprising birthday gift for President Donald Trump on his 79th birthday — yet another anti-Trump demonstration. Organizers say they are hoping to upstage a military parade the president has planned for June 14 in Washington, DC. Refuse Fascism, the group claiming to be behind the event, has held rallies against the Trump administration in downtown Los Angeles and other cities, ABC’s network affiliate Channel 7 reported Sunday. Sunsara Taylor, who is with the group, told the station: Donald Trump is trashing the rule of law, he’s disappearing immigrants, he’s threatening to do the same without any...

NEW DELHI: US President Donald Trump’s attempt to be a broker in the conflict between India and Pakistan has the spotlight on a deal the hostile neighbour recently negotiated with World Liberty Financial (WLF), a cryptocurrency venture in which the president’s family has 60% stake. The deal was signed between WLF and the hastily-launched Pakistan Crypto Council, which early last month appointed as its adviser Changzpeng Zhao (CZ) — founder of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance — with the ambitious objective of making Islamabad South Asia’s crypto capital. Though the Crypto Council was barely a month old, WLF sent...

(Screenshot: Israel Defense Forces) A series of Israeli airstrikes last week killed Muhammad Sinwar, the de facto commander of Hamas in Gaza, according to reports on Sunday that said his body was found in a Khan Younis tunnel. Muhammad Sinwar was the younger brother of the former Hamas leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, who was killed by the IDF in southern Gaza last October. According to a separate report, Zakaria Sinwar, another brother, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Saturday night. The strikes that reportedly killed Muhammad Sinwar on Tuesday targeted an underground command compound below the European Hospital...
