All of these sources spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive details related to Putin’s security. With...

On May 13th, 2025, a potentially catastrophic mistake unfolded at San Francisco International Airport when United Airlines Flight 1152 turned the wrong way after takeoff—directly into the path of SkyWest Flight 5273.

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) said that part of the reason for the coverup of former President Joe Biden’s mental fitness is because Democrats feared being honest would help Donald Trump. CNN host and “Original Sin” co-author Jake Tapper asked, “[D]on’t you think, also, one of the issues for your party was the idea that Donald Trump, Democrats perceived him to be an existential threat to the world and only Joe Biden had ever beaten Donald Trump, therefore, he had to be the nominee again and any word that deviated from that was helping...

The German government handed out a record number of citizenships to immigrants last year, rising to nearly a quarter of a million passports, with Syrian and Turkish nationals representing the largest cohorts. According to data collected by 13 of 16 federal states in Germany and provided to the Welt Am Sonntag newspaper, 249,901 foreigners were granted citizenship in 2024, the highest number since records began in 2000.

Last year’s record naturalisation number is likely much higher, given that the states of Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and...

Feckless French authorities were seen standing by and doing nothing today as illegal migrants carried toddlers onto dangerously overloaded small boats ready to cross the Channel for Britain. In infuriating scenes the French police officers were seen with their hands on their hips and with their mobile phones out filming the moment the youngsters were crammed onto the deathtrap vessels. French authorities are failing to stop almost two-thirds of would-be Channel-crossing migrants, despite Britain paying our European neighbour almost £500,000 every day to do so. These astounding images were taken on the beaches of northern France this morning (Saturday May...
