Six AfD politicians have reportedly died before the local elections in North Rhine-Westphalia. According to POLITICO, in addition to the four deaths previously reported by the AfD, two candidates from the reserve list have also died. The state deputy chairman announced that an investigation into the cases has been launched. AfD state deputy chairman Kay Gottschalk, however, believes there is not yet any reason to assume this is anything other than a coincidence. Another federal deputy chairman, Stephan Brandner, is skeptical that this is a coincidence. Brandner, an AfD member of parliament, said, “From my perspective, this is a statistically...

If you think the H-1B visa program is about bringing in “the best and brightest,” think again. What we’ve actually imported is an army of cheap, unqualified labor that’s gutted our tech industry, sunk wages, and turned once-prestigious jobs into low-level coding sweatshops. Economist Peter St. Onge breaks it down perfectly in this clip… what was sold to Americans as this “high-skilled program” is now a marathon race-to-the-bottom that’s costing us our jobs, our innovation, and our competitive edge. But here’s the good news: President Trump and JD Vance are putting an end to the H-1B “bait-and-switch.” They’re ripping out...

In February 2016, Donald Trump scandalized Republican Party elites at a CNN town hall event in Columbus, Ohio, when he dared to call George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq “a big fat mistake” and “the worst decision any one has made, any president has made, in the history of this country.” Trump’s assertion infuriated GOP insiders not because it was clearly mistaken or even easily disputable, but because it was all too true. A glance at the titles of major books on America in the Middle East written by authors across the political spectrum—Fiasco, Grand Delusion, Losing the Long Game,...

I spent millions of my own money and TRAVELED THE ENTIRE COUNTRY campaigning for President Trump and his MAGA agenda and his promises. And Trump’s MAGA agenda included these key promises: NO MORE FOREIGN WARS. NO MORE REGIME CHANGE. WORLD PEACE. And THIS is what the people voted for. Only 6 months in and we are back into foreign wars, regime change, and world war 3. It feels like a complete bait and switch to please the neocons, warmongers, military industrial complex contracts, and neocon tv personalities that MAGA hates and who were NEVER TRUMPERS! After the bombs were dropped,...

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gives a Hebrew video statement on June 22, 2025. (Screen capture/GPO) Israel is “very, very close” to achieving its goals in Iran, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday, having inflicted significant damage both to its ballistic missile program and its nuclear facilities. He promised not to let Israel be dragged into a “war of attrition” with the Islamic Republic, but stressed that this did not mean he would be prepared to end the campaign before all its objectives had been met. The prime minister was speaking to reporters in a pre-recorded press conference on Sunday...

How long do you think this level of conflict will last? Days, weeks, months, a year or more? End of conflict defined here as no more major missile or bomber attacks for an extended period. The kind of attacks that take down buildings.

One week since Israel launched strikes on Iran, there are still no signs of cracks or instability within the Iranian regime, three Israeli officials told The Jerusalem Post on Friday. “There are currently no indications that the central government in Tehran is losing control — quite the opposite. The Iranian regime appears to be tightening its grip,” the three officials said. Dr. Raz Zimmt, director of the Iran Program at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), is not surprised. “It’s not surprising that no cracks are visible,” he told the Post. “Most Iranians are hostile to the regime and...

The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....

Is this a big story yet?

The declining U.S. birth rate, and the broader demographic shifts it contributes towards, have become a growing concern for policymakers and economists alike. Economic and demographic experts told Newsweek that the trend is one that threatens to destabilize not only the U.S. economy—potentially resulting in several percentage points being knocked off America's annual GDP growth—but global markets as well. "I think it's the single most important issue facing economies across the world, and by some distance," said James Pomeroy, a global economist at HSBC. As is the case with almost every country on earth, U.S. birth rates have been trending...

On 6 December 2024 Romania’s Constitutional Court cancelled the country’s presidential election while runoff voting was already underway in the diaspora. Domestically and internationally, this was justified on the basis of “Russian interference” in the first round, held on 24 November, when little-known independent candidate Calin Georgescu had shockingly topped the poll. The Trump-aligned Georgescu, widely accused by the mainstream media of pro-Russia views, was running on a very effective nationalist, pro-peace platform. He was set to win the second round on 8 December and become president – before the entire process was brought to a halt by the politically-appointed...

...But a phone call between the two leaders in June played out differently from previous ones, according to four people familiar with the call. Biden had barely finished telling Zelenskyy he’d just greenlighted another $1 billion in U.S. military assistance for Ukraine when Zelenskyy started listing all the additional help he needed and wasn’t getting. Biden lost his temper, the people familiar with the call said. The American people were being quite generous, and his administration and the U.S. military were working hard to help Ukraine, he said, raising his voice, and Zelenskyy could show a little more gratitude.

A FARTING whale is thought to have sparked fears that Russian drones were targeting UK nuclear subs. The suspected blow-offs were picked up twice by Navy sensors scanning the area for signs of enemy activity. It raised concerns that one of Vladimir Putin’s drone subs had dropped a listening device on to the seabed between the Isle of Raasay and Applecross in North West Scotland. But a Naval official told The Sun: “We have been analysing the sounds and now believe it was a marine mammal. A whale.” However, another source said they were still worried, adding: “We are taking...

U.S. Navy veteran and Plaintiff Zachary Young continued his testimony Wednesday in the $1 billion defamation trial against CNN. The morning’s testimony featured the jurors being shown fairly damaging messages between Young and CNN reporters Katie Bo Lillis and Alex Marquardt. The messages showed Young was lied to about the nature of CNN’s reporting and Young warning them what they were about to air on TV was factually inaccurate. The jurors looked on intently and were taking copious notes. The jury was first shown how Lillis made contact with Young under the false pretenses that she was doing background research...

Aviation’s move to net zero will cost $5 trillion according to the United Nations, and airlines are already raising prices to pay for it The UK, the EU, and many other governments have pledged to achieve net zero by 2050. This means airlines must shift to SAF {"Sustainable Aviation Fuel" which costs drastically more}. In the UK, SAF must make up 2 per cent of all jet fuel volumes by next year, rising to 10 per cent in 2030 and 22 per cent by 2040. The EU’s targets are more ambitious still, committing to 70 per cent by 2050. 'We...
