The South China Morning Post (SCMP) on Wednesday reported “frustration and disbelief” in China after “American consulates around the world began cancelling immigrant visa interviews.” According to the U.S. State Department, the mass cancellations were needed for a “global training initiative” on screening and vetting visa applicants. “A more prosperous America means ensuring that visa applicants are not likely to become a public charge, as defined under U.S. law and regulation, and not likely to become dependent on U.S. public benefits reserved for qualified Americans in need,” the State Department said in a statement to the media Tuesday.

The number of new applications for unemployment benefits dropped down to 203,000 last week, the Department of Labor said Thursday, indicating that few workers are losing jobs due to payroll reductions. Initial claims for jobless benefits have been extraordinarily low for most of this year, a testament to the strength of the labor market and the resilience of the economy. Even a jump in oil prices following the start of the fighting with Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has not caused employers to reconsider their payroll levels. Last week’s figure is extremely low by historical standards.…

Former state Sen. Mike Mazzei narrowly defeated Attorney General Gentner Drummond to win the Republican nomination in Oklahoma’s gubernatorial runoff on Tuesday night. The race was called with Mazzei ahead by approximately 2,000 votes in the state. Mazzei was strongly backed by President Donald Trump in the race, earning his endorsement in the state’s primary over Drummond, who faced criticism over a number of anti-Trump statements and even donated to Joe Biden and the Lincoln Project in 2020. Drummond finished first in the the June primary, but continued statements of support from Trump including a tele-rally on Monday swayed the state’s…

Most were returned, but Spanish…

Nick Timothy MP, Britain’s shadow justice secretary, just put numbers on something that’s been muttered about for years. Ministry of Justice data shows one in five Muslim prisoners in England and Wales is white. That’s nearly four times the rate in the general population. White Muslim inmates went from 2,767 in 2022 to 3,218 by June 2025. Overall, Muslim numbers in prison rose from 14,037 to 16,051 in the same stretch. They’re now about 18 percent of the prison population in a country where Muslims are only 6.5 percent of everyone else. Timothy says the gap “raises serious questions.” Experts…

A Trump-appointed federal judge handed Democrat Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and far-left Attorney General Keith Ellison a stinging defeat on Wednesday, refusing to force Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott to extradite an ICE officer charged in connection with an immigration operation shooting. U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez, Jr., Southern District of Texas, denied the request from Minnesota for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against Governor Abbott and Cameron County Sheriff Manuel Trevino. The court refused to compel Abbott to execute a rendition warrant or to order Sheriff Trevino to hold ICE officer Christian Castro, age 52, beyond the statutory deadline.…

At the same time, the Office of Foreign Assets Control has added nearly 60 companies, individuals, and vessels to its sanctions…

AI-Generated Image by Grok Albanese’s tricks have misfired. There’s perhaps no more pristine example of a Globalist leader than Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese: the guy checks all the boxes. He is obsessed with Net-zero and Paris-aligned climate targets, of course. During the COVID crisis, we saw him angling to cede health-policy control to an unelected international body – and in fact, he seems to want to give up sovereignty altogether in favor of a ‘UN-centric multilateralism’. Albanese has maintained a sustained high level of migration, and is big on ‘identity politics’. And then, we come to his online-control ideas,…

The “Russia-linked” Qilin ransomware group is taking credit for a cybersecurity incident that involved an alleged hack into a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) system, according to The Hill.
