    Swiss citizens will head to the polls this summer to vote on whether to limit the country’s population to a maximum of 10 million, with the stated goal of restricting immigration. The proposal was put forward by the far-right Swiss People’s Party, which calls for capping the population at 10 million. Under the proposed law, the Swiss government and parliament would be required to take action if the country’s population, currently 9.1 million, exceeds 9.5 million. Measures would include limiting the entry of immigrants, including asylum seekers and family members of foreign residents. If these steps fail and the population...

    Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday went off on House Judiciary Committee Democrats, calling Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) a “washed-up loser lawyer” when Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) pressed her on the Epstein files and crimes by Epstein affiliates. After a nearly four-minute-long tirade about Trump weaponizing the Department of Justice, including New York Attorney General Letitia James, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, former FBI Director James Comey and other Democrat criminals, with”politically motivated investigations,” Nadler took aim at Bondi for the zero prosecutions of Epstein affiliates and coconspirators since taking office last year. Bondi noted...

    A new comparative report found Ohioans have a 1.13% chance of being abducted by aliens, with over 4,000 abduction reports since 2019. Ohio is ranked 21st in the nation for alien abduction odds, according to a report from Canada Sports Betting (CSB) that dove into abduction statistics across North America.

    New York Times ^ | February 3, 2026 | David Yaffe-Bellany
    It’s known as “Don Colossus.” At 15 feet tall, the statue of President Trump, mounted on its 7,000-pound pedestal, is about the height of a two-story building — a giant effigy cast in bronze and finished with a thick layer of gold leaf. For more than a year, the golden statue has been at the center of one of the stranger moneymaking ventures of the Trump era. A group of cryptocurrency investors paid $300,000 to have a sculptor create it as a tribute to Mr. Trump, an outspoken crypto proponent. Then they used it to promote a memecoin called $PATRIOT....

Analyzing federally reported property and violent crime data, the company rated Anthony the state’s safest city, with neighboring Sunland Park ranking fourth. The two cities also shared the top five in last year’s ranking, and Sunland Park has been rated No. 1 in the past. Anthony sits almost equidistant between Las Cruces and El Paso, Texas, and borders a Texas town also named Anthony as well as several unincorporated communities in a...

    Donald Trump has told the Senate’s top Democrat, Chuck Schumer, that he will unfreeze funds for major infrastructure projects in New York and New Jersey if he supports renaming Dulles international airport in Virginia and Penn Station in New York City after him, according to media reports. The demand, which was first reported on Thursday by Punchbowl News, comes after the president in October halted $18bn in funding for a major subway line expansion in New York City as well as a new rail tunnel connecting the city to New Jersey.
