KIM Jong-un is in a coma after suffering a brain haemorrhage, according to wild internet claims. Social media users claim the North Korean tyrant was rushed to a Chinese hospital for urgent treatment following the severe bleed. It is said he was taken out of the country due to the poor medical facilities in Pyongyang. According to online speculation, Kim was taken to the Peking Union Medical College in Beijing where he underwent emergency treatment. He was last seen touring a defence museum at an undisclosed location in Pyongyang on October 11. North Korea analyst Benedict Rogers said he expected...

There are, as best I can fathom, three possible options for what you are about to read from Texas Senator John Cornyn. The outgoing senator sent this public statement via his X Account:[SOURCE]It is the official position of the United States government that Ukraine has never had access to the “Starshield” global satellite system used by the United States military for communication and global guidance targeting. Giving Ukraine access to Starshield would be akin to the United States operating missile and drone targeting of nuclear armed Russia.For obvious reasons the U.S. government would not want to escalate to direct military...

Former Biden White House aide and Democratic strategist Yemisi Egbewole predicted that the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) would be sidelined ahead of the 2028 presidential election during a Wednesday episode of "The Fifth Column" podcast, hosted by Kmele Foster and Michael Moynihan, despite the socialist movement's recent primary victories. When asked by Foster whether the Democratic Party was moving toward the DSA's ideology, Egbewole, a senior fellow at the centrist Democratic think tank Third Way, predicted the movement would struggle to translate its recent successes into national influence. "Going into 2028, the DSA... Baby gets put in a corner,"...

Leftism’s flaw is that it cares too much. Leftists are kind, generous people who just don’t understand the practical consequences of their ideas. They feel too deeply and try too hard to prevent inequality as they live in a fantasy world of rainbows and unicorns. Yeah, that’s a bunch of BS. There may be a few such “useful idiots” (as Lenin called them) on the left, but these last few months the masks have been coming off.

A California man convicted of drugging and raping three women and originally sentenced to 124 years in prison has been released after serving approximately 20 years, sparking outrage from local officials who have raised public safety concerns. Andrew Luster, the great-grandson of cosmetics mogul Max Factor, was released from state prison earlier this month and is reportedly residing in Glendora, California, according to KTLA.

Amid escalating tensions between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday dodged three times when asked whether Ukraine is an ally of the United States. “We provide the three different things ... to Ukraine, so that’s what you do for an ally. We’re not providing those to Russia,” Bessent told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” the second time he was asked whether the U.S. considers Ukraine an ally. Asked for a third time, the treasury secretary simply said, “I’m not the secretary of state. I’m not the president.” Earlier, Bessent said the U.S....

Ukrainian immigrants, due to lose humanitarian protections from deportation Monday, are the latest group to get a reprieve. Since January 2025, the Trump administration has stripped immigrants from country after country of humanitarian protections: Venezuela, Haiti, Afghanistan, Syria, South Sudan. But in recent weeks, immigrants from a few nations appear to have escaped that fate. In the latest example, some 100,000 Ukrainians were scheduled Monday to lose temporary protected status (TPS) from deportation. But the Department of Homeland Security is expected to extend those protections, according to the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington and an official with the Trump administration who...

Feds have DNA evidence that can prove Ilhan Omar committed immigration fraud, wed her brother: sources WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors are planning to use DNA evidence to prove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) committed immigration fraud, as part of the sprawling investigation into the congresswoman, sources told The Post. People familiar with the years-long criminal probe said the feds have made use of whistleblowers, government records and now obtained DNA in an effort to substantiate decade-old allegations that Omar — and possibly members of her family like her father — defrauded immigration authorities. One source said the DNA evidence was critical...

On the day Vivek Ramaswamy made official his run for Ohio Governor, President Donald Trump did not dally. “He will be a GREAT Governor of Ohio, will never let you down, and has my COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT!” the President wrote on Truth Social on Feb. 24 of last year, within hours of Ramaswamy kicking off his campaign. Trump’s post essentially cleared what had been expected to be a crowded GOP field, boxing out the likes of state Attorney General Dave Yost, state Treasurer Robert Sprague, and Lieutenant Governor Jim Tressel in a state where Republicans felt dominant. It also...

Back in the day, young people gravitated towards rock n' roll and drugs. Now, it's Islamic sharia law. A huge chunk of young Americans are giving sharia law a thumbs up, according to a new survey from Rasmussen Reports and Our Republic, which found 43% of citizens between the age of 18-24 have a positive view of it. It's nearly as popular with Americans between the age of 25-29 too, with 39% saying they have a "mostly positive" or "somewhat positive" view of sharia. In fact, sharia is more liked than disliked among young Americans, as the survey found 36%...

Despite ongoing protests in France, the NFL still plans to hold the Week 7 game between the New Orleans Saints and the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Stade de France.

“The Dems are a total mess of cluster B psychopathology. They will continue to humiliate themselves & alienate the normal population.” — JD Haltigan on X Looks like the punishments will continue across the pond until morale improves. France on fire in the “mostly peaceful” riots — according to the BBC — this past weekend could yet ignite a final, furious, Globalist-Jacobin bid to wreck Western Civ as populist nationalism looms ever larger to defeat them. That is, whatever the demonic coalition of desperate Euro elites backed by the Soros NGO empire, the WEF, the UN bureaucracy, possibly the British...
