Despite relentless attacks from left-wing media and threats of violent jihad from Muslims, Modi has remained steadfast in his pursuit to protect minorities facing persecution in Islamic nations. Through groundbreaking CAA legislation, he offers sanctuary to victims of Islamic persecution, contrasting sharply with Western countries that extend entry to those persecuting non-Muslim minorities. On Monday, March 11, the Indian government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, took a significant step in addressing religious persecution by officially implementing the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). This piece of legislation, passed in December 2019, aims to provide a haven for minorities such as Hindus,...

Germany fully bought into the green energy transition, but its economy is now showing serious signs of weakness as a prolonged energy crisis runs its course. The country is aiming to have its energy supply and demand reach “net-zero” emissions by 2050, relying on sources like wind, solar and hydrogen fuels after former Prime Minister Angela Merkel decided in 2011 to eventually shutter the country’s nuclear power plant fleet. Despite the German government’s regulatory and spending blitz to usher in the green transition, the country is not on track to meet its climate goals, but its decision to rely on...

Several days after Business Insider admitted they had published inaccurate numbers of state residents that moved to Florida during the COVID-19 pandemic, Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin cited them and used them in an attack piece about Gov. Ron DeSantis’, R-Fla., leadership of the state. Rubin published the column Friday in which she claimed, "DeSantis likes to brag that more people are moving to Florida than ever. Not so fast. ‘An estimated 674,740 people reported that their permanent address changed from Florida to another state in 2021.’" Those numbers are wrong and the Post, in a correction on Saturday, admitting...

President Biden on Saturday criticized a tax cut plan that British Prime Minister Liz Truss has now largely backed away from as a “mistake.” “Well, it’s predictable. I mean, I wasn’t the only one that thought it was a mistake,” Biden said during a trip to Portland, Ore. Truss announced plans last month to cut taxes by the equivalent of roughly $50 billion without detailing how it would be paid for, spooking investors. The plan sent the price of gilts, which are British government bonds, tumbling, as the pound plunged to a record low against the dollar.

Former President Barack Obama admitted Friday that it had been a “mistake” not to support Iranian democracy protesters in 2009, when they rose up against their tyrannical regime in what was called the “Green Revolution.” At the time, Obama chose to remain quiet about the protests, as he hoped to preserve the regime, and the administration of radical, Holocaust-denying Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in the hope of pursuing negotiations toward a deal on Iran’s nuclear weapons program.

Three people – a Black man, a trans woman and a homeless mother – all regret voting for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election, each with unique reasoning. "I feel like I've been lied to by the media telling us Biden is the answer to all the country's problems," Mikaela Stekly told Fox News. "That's what I saw him as when I voted for him." "And they made [former President] Trump kind of the bad guy in the media, but things were a lot better when he was president," Stekly, a homeless single mother who blamed the president for...

The radical left on Monday flipped out after a federal judge in Florida struck down the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) mask mandate for airplanes and other public transportation. The ruling came less than a week after the CDC extended the mandate for two weeks to further study the ramifications of the coronavirus. “Because our system does not permit agencies to act unlawfully even in pursuit of desirable ends, the court declares unlawful and vacates the mask mandate,” the Trump-appointed judge wrote.

The EU is fortifying itself with remarkable speed for a new era of 'zero gas' from Russia A Western oil embargo against Russia raises the geostrategic stakes exponentially. What was almost unthinkable last week looks almost unstoppable this week. Ukrainian resistance and outraged moral opinion in the democracies has changed the character of this war, and changed what the West is prepared to do. The White House is sending emergency missions to Saudi Arabia and Venezuela to find extra barrels. The US is pushing for a quick deal with Tehran on nuclear proliferation to bring back Iranian crude. All normal...

A houseless man was arrested and held in a state mental hospital for two years and eight months after being mistaken for the wrong man, according to the Hawai'i Innocence Project. The advocacy group filed a lawsuit Monday night alleging Joshua Spriestersbach was wrongly arrested in 2017 while he was waiting for food outside of the Safe Haven shelter in Chinatown. Ken Lawson, the co-founder of the Hawai'i Innocence Project, claimed the officer who booked Spriestersbach did not compare fingerprints when he mistook him for Thomas Castleberry, who was charged for several crimes in three different states.

We filed our federal taxes electronically in 2019. We had a lot of charitable contributions which required a separate page to list them. The electronic submission system had no way to attach the second sheet. IRS wrote to us saying we had to justify the contributions so we sent them the second page that was omitted from the original return. Then IRS wrote to us AGAIN saying send us the second page. So we sent it again. Now they have written to us saying if we don’t pay them the additional tax we owe them (about $1,000) by August 5,...
