Temporary protected status (TPS) for hundreds of South Sudanese nationals in the United States is set to end after a federal judge ruled that the Trump administration can move forward with stripping their protections. On Friday, US district judge Patti Saris of the district of Massachusetts rejected an attempt by immigrant rights organizations including the New York-based African Communities Together to keep TPS for South Sudanese nationals living in the US. Saris’s decision follows a 6-3 supreme court ruling in June allowing the Trump administration to strip hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians of TPS, which granted them permission...

Who broke Britain? Someone—or something—must have. The past 18 years, enough time for a whole lost generation to be born and brought up, have yielded nothing but stagnation and mass disillusionment. In 2007, before the global financial crisis, Britain was at its postimperial zenith. Median household income had just surpassed that of Germany. A pound was worth more than $2, and London was arguably displacing New York as the center of international banking. But since then, Britain has been left behind. The country’s output per person is now only just above that of Mississippi, America’s poorest state—and that slight lead...

I'm starting to think diversity is not, indeed, our strength. Surprisingly, the Police Service of Northern Ireland was quick to admit that the suspect is Somali. Normally, the police and media would report the suspect as a "Belfast man" in a situation like this! The victim not only had his throat cut, but according to reports, had at least one of his eyes gouged out by the Somali man. Here's one witness testimony from the BBC, which also reported that the man is "believed to be Somali": A resident told BBC News NI how she was in her home when...

USA Responds with a Zinger! The Trump administration intends to accept a further 10,000 Afrikaner refugees into the United States in addition to the 6,000 Afrikaners already accepted, raising the 2026 cap to 17,500. Meanwhile, several patriotic Afrikaner organizations appealed to President Trump to help Afrikaners stay in their ancestral home. On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced he was increasing the refugee cap for white South Africans because of “an unforeseen emergency refugee situation”, signing an executive order to “increase the ceiling to 17,500.” Trump blamed the South African government for “recent increases in the incitement of racially motivated violence”....

Progressive activists have discovered the perfect business model: Declare a crisis, accuse opponents of violence or genocide, demand emergency powers and funnel money into activist-run nonprofits with virtually no oversight. The latest example of this comes from the Seattle LGBTQ Commission and a coalition of local left-wing groups, which are demanding that socialist Mayor Katie Wilson declare a civil emergency over what they call a “trans relocation crisis.” They’re claiming, with no evidence, that tens of thousands of transgender-identifying individuals are fleeing Republican-led states and arriving in Seattle as refugees. Their proposed solution: a taxpayer-funded bloodletting. On Saturday, radicals flooded...
