Brothers of Italy's leader Giorgia Meloni wants the European Union to compensate members she claims have lost out since adopting the Euro -- and she’s borrowing a page from U.S. President Donald Trump in a campaign to put her country’s interests first. She spoke exclusively to Bloomberg in Rome before the Italian Elections.

Far-right leader Giorgia Meloni has won Italy's election, according to exit polls, and is on course to become the country's first female prime minister. If they are confirmed, Ms Meloni will aim to form Italy's most right-wing government since World War Two. That will alarm much of Europe as Italy is the EU's third-biggest economy. She is predicted to win between 22-26% of the vote, says a Rai exit poll, ahead of her closest rival Enrico Letta from the centre left. That dominance was underlined by the first projection from Rai, which gave her more than a quarter of the...

Lt General Thomas McInerney and Lt General Michael Flynn gave interviews to WVW Broadcasting Network today. It was Flynn’s first interview since his pardon.In stunning testimony, McInerney stated his sources have told him U.S. Army Special Forces, possibly the famed Delta Force, raided the CIA-run server farm in Frankfurt, Germany. 5 soldiers were killed in the ensuing firefight, as well as one CIA paramilitary. The CIA personnel were allegedly flown in from Afghanistan for security, according to reports. Subsequent review of the secured servers yielded proof that China, Iran, and Russia were involved in the attempted coup against President Donald...

COLUMBIA (AP) — Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill has approvingly evoked former President Ronald Reagan. She said she would back President Donald Trump if he stopped a migrant caravan at the border. And speaking on Fox News, she has decried "crazy Democrats." What is the Democratic senator up to? The vulnerable incumbent is appealing to the right in a bid to win a third term in a state that Trump won by 19 percentage points in 2016. She's betting a more centrist message will resonate with independents and moderate Republican voters she desperately needs to beat Republican challenger Josh Hawley, who...

The rise of George W. Bush to the Presidency has been the stuff of legend. From the ashes of a "disputed" election that cast unfair aspersions on a well-deserved victory, we now live in a much different world from the one Dubya inherited in January of 2001, and it's not too early to assess his place in history. And as of right now, the only question seems to be: Great President, or the Greatest President in History? President Bush has always had to face the distortions and unfair characterizations of the elite liberal media, and his astounding successes and reelection...

According to liberal watchdog group Americans For Democratic Action (ADA), John Kerry's lifetime voting record in the U.S. Senate is MORE liberal than fellow Massachussetts senator Edward M. Kennedy. Here is the link to check for yourself. His 92 rating is two points higher than Kennedy's and higher than the man he replaced, the late Paul Tsongas. In fairness, he has not outliberaled The Swimmer since 1997 and ADA has yet to post their 2003 rankings. His 1992 rating of 85 was Kerry's lowest in more than a decade, possibly as he mulled his potential candidacy. A rating of 100...

<p>It would be a shame, just as California was starting to take the right path to restore a semblance of fiscal sanity, if California voters were misled into supporting an initiative that took them backwards.</p> <p>We don't use the term "misled" lightly, believing the average voter to be perfectly capable of making informed judgments. But the campaign to promote Proposition 56 on the March 2 ballot, just like the initiative itself, is terribly dishonest.</p>
