Sir Keir Starmer must recall Parliament to discuss the Channel migrant “emergency” after the number of arrivals surged past 25,000 in record time, critics declared. Some 898 asylum seekers were intercepted on 13 boats on Wednesday – an average of 70 people per dinghy. It takes the total so far this year to 25,436 in 432 boats – the first time the milestone has been reached in July. And the Daily Express can reveal frustration is beginning to boil over among seafarers navigating the Channel. An exasperated P&O Ferries captain asked a French navy vessel: “Is that the same dinghy...

The president said Mexico agreed to eliminate non-tariff trade barriers, though he did not specify what those were.President Donald Trump has announced a 90-day extension to a trade deal deadline with Mexico, delaying the imposition of new tariffs.The announcement came just hours before the Aug. 1 deadline, which would have triggered a 30% tariff on products imported from Mexico."The complexities of a Deal with Mexico are somewhat different than other Nations because of both the problems, and assets, of the Border," President Trump said on Truth Social. "We have agreed to extend, for a 90 Day period, the exact same...

When the Texas Civil Rights Project needed lawyers to help dozens of people arrested during U.S. President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, legal director Dustin Rynders turned to a familiar strategy. He contacted major law firms that for decades had provided free legal services to nonprofits like his. On that April day in Houston, he called his usual contacts, many at firms that had previously handled challenges to Trump’s immigration policies. Before Trump’s return to the White House, they typically offered swift “pro bono,” or free, legal help – a standard public service provided by elite U.S. firms. This time, they...

Senator Chuck Grassley on Thursday released the newly declassified annex from former special counsel John Durham’s report “The Durham annex contains previously classified information exposing a reported Clinton campaign plan to falsely tie President Donald Trump to Russia,” Grassley said. Recall that it was just reported that FBI Director Kash Patel recently found the annex to the Durham report in a “burn bag” at the FBI. According to the newly declassified documents, Hillary Clinton personally approved the Trump-Russia hoax just a few days before FBI counter-intelligence agent Peter Strzok opened Crossfire Hurricane on July 31, 2016 to distract from her...

Footage surfaced online over the weekend showing the woman, known only as Holly, and a man being savagely attacked in the downtown area of the Ohio city. Republican state Senator Bernie Moreno said in a post on X that Holly had given him permission to share the damning pictures of her horrific injuries.

"That should distract people from her own missing email, especially if the affair goes to the Olympic level."Newly declassified intelligence documents released Thursday revealed Hillary Clinton personally approved a campaign plan to “smear” then-candidate Donald Trump with false Russian collusion claims to distract from her email scandal during the 2016 presidential race.Special counsel John Durham uncovered the information during his multi-year investigation into intelligence activities during the 2016 election.The intelligence, released Monday by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), came from two memos obtained by the Obama administration containing “confidential conversations” between members of the DNC and George Soros’ Open Society Foundations...

Tulsi Gabbard issued a new document today. It included a whistleblower statement, from a former “Deputy National Intelligence Officer at the National Intelligence Council.” I never even heard of this agency. The former official blew the whistle because his objections to the Russiagate report were suppressed. He wouldn’t sign off on the use of unverifiable evidence in the Russiagate assessment. He said the dossier material was inserted during a car ride with James Comey, James Clapper, and John Brennan. These people are unbelievable. After some debate, I declined to alter my own analysis based on this suggestion. To provide context...

A declassified annex from John Durham's report sheds new light on the Clinton Plan to falsely tie Trump to Putin, with the expectation that the FBI would join in too. Newly-declassified so-called Clinton Plan intelligence included intercepted communications from a George Soros ally which suggested that Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign against Donald Trump was plotting a “long-term affair to demonize” Trump by linking him to Russian leader Vladimir Putin, and that the Clinton campaign expected that “the FBI will put more oil into the fire.”The revelations, including intercepted purported communications from Leonard Benardo, a top official at George Soros’s Open...

Ms Archerd initially created four embryos, which were frozen. One became her now-30-year-old daughter but the other three were put into storage. Despite separating from her husband, Ms Archerd did not want to get rid of the embryos - she wanted to donate them for research or give them to another family anonymously. However, she wanted to be involved with the baby as they would be related to her daughter. Ms Archerd paid thousands of dollars a year to store her embryos until she found Nightlight Christian Adoptions. The Christian embryo adoption agency runs a programme called Snowflakes, which many...

The Left's fatal humor deficit.Left-wing comedy, especially late-night shows, took another hit recently when Paramount’s CBS canceled the Late Show and its host Stephen Colbert, whose pathetic ratings were nowhere near worth the millions of dollars the show has been burning through for years. The Dems’ press-agent media, of course, have been parroting Colbert’s claim that Paramount is carrying water for President Trump, the prime target of Colbert’s juvenile, humorless insults. In reality, the show had a staff of 200, cost $100 million annually to produce, and lost $40 million a year. You don’t have to be Adam Smith to...

From Durham's Classified Appendix- Authentic July 2016 emails discussing Hillary Clinton's plan to "demonize Putin and Trump." Predictions that "the FBI will put more oil into the fire." Hillary approved the "idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections." Regarding proving-up the DNC/DCCC hack and leak - "In absence of direct evidence, Crowdstrike and ThreatConnect will supply the media" with info. Crowdstrike will feed the info to the FBI and then the info "would then be disseminated through leading US publications." To clarify - intelligence analysts assessed "the Benardo emails were likely authentic." Durham concluded they were "a composite...

‘President Trump deserves to pick the people working for him,’ Lee said.Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, will introduce on Thursday a short two-page bill designed to — as the legislation’s preamble explains — “restore executive power to appoint United States attorneys.” The move comes following two high-profile fights between the Department of Justice and federal courts that refused to acquiesce in the president’s pick for U.S. attorney.U.S. attorneys hold authority to enforce the law on behalf of the executive branch within 94 judicial districts throughout the United States. U.S. attorneys are political appointees, selected by the president to ensure those charged...

A far-left judge in California recently blocked Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from detaining an illegal-alien criminal — a “tattoo artist” and “organizer,” say leftist supporters and the far-left media. And, wouldn’t you know it, cops then picked him up for several attempts of car theft, including one described as a carjacking. “Immigrants rights” groups say that ICE targeted Guillermo Medina Reyes, 31, because he is an immigrant-rights activist. In fact, ICE targeted him because he’s a convicted criminal. Indeed, he has a conviction for attempted murder. Yet a federal judge, appointed by President Joe Biden, thought blocking ICE from...

***At the center of this shocking discovery is what investigators are calling the “Magic Mortgage” Money Laundering Scheme, which appears to be tied directly to ActBlue and its donor channels. This scheme allegedly uses inflated property sales and rapid same-day flips as a pipeline to funnel illicit funds through the U.S. financial and political systems.In a years-long investigation, Finchem’s team, along with whistleblower Shawn Taylor, a former law enforcement officer from Millersville, Tennessee, have uncovered patterns of multiple same-day property transfers where values were inflated by as much as 100 times the original sale amount within hours.***The Press Release That...
