The European Court of Human Rights shut down a request from French populist leader Marine Le Pen to overide the “political death sentence” ban against her running for office for the next five years. The Strasbourg-based court, which can be appealed to over judicial rulings within signatory states, rejected the request from former French presidential candidate and current National Assembly deputy Marine Le Pen to suspend the prohibition of her standing for office, which Paris magistrates mandated must remain in place even during the appeal process. The “political death sentence” was issued in March over alleged misuse of EU funds…

Black-ish star Anthony Anderson was featured as guest host for vacationing ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday and once again used his monologue to smear President Donald Trump as a Nazi and a racist. The actor’s prosaic rant in the show’s opening monologue was typical with most of his previous stints as guest host, but this time he upped the ante by directly painting the president, his media company, and his voters as racists. “Trump’s media company has just made their streaming platform, Truth+, available worldwide. They also announced that Truth+ will be the first streaming network to call…

Hurry, hurry, step right up, tax credits expire September 30. Has There Ever Been a Better Time to Buy an EV? The Wall Street Journal asks Has There Ever Been a Better Time to Buy an EV? Not even bargain-basement deals are enough to entice U.S. drivers to go all-in on electric vehicles. A Hyundai dealership in New Jersey is hyping a $169-a-month lease on its Ioniq 6 sedan, which carries a sticker price of about $38,000, making it far less expensive than a comparably priced lease on its gasoline-burning models. Kia will lease its small Niro EV SUV for as…

BRUSSELS (AP) – European Union lawmakers will hold a confidence vote Thursday on the head of the bloc´s powerful executive arm, Ursula von der Leyen, with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán leading calls for her to be ousted. The censure motion, the first at the European Parliament in over a decade, was brought against the European Commission president by a group of hard-right lawmakers.

A statement from Bass’s office said (emphasis removed): “The federal government has concentrated thousands of armed immigration agents, many of whom lack visible identification, and military troops in our communities, conducting unconstitutional raids, roundups and…

Will Europeans sleep easier knowing that failing leaders Starmer and Macron are ready to ‘defend’ them? If France and the UK can’t even tackle illegal migration on the channel, how will they manage to ‘defend Europe’? When it comes to France and the United Kingdom, we feel tempted almost to describe them as ‘the former European powers’, because while they’re still the two nuclear-armed nations in the continent, generations of Liberalism/Globalism have turned both countries into pale imitations of the ones that emerged victorious in WW2. Their current political leaders, French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer,…

Migrants detained by the Trump administration at Gitmo have criminal histories including sexual assault, pedophilia, and murder, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) press release. As previewed early on in President Trump’s second administration, Guantanamo prison is being used to detain migrants as officials work to get criminal illegal aliens off the streets. DHS provided a sampling of some of the migrants detained at the facility, showcasing that these are not innocent individuals — as the left would like the masses to believe — but dangerous criminals with extensive pasts. “Below are examples of nearly 30 high-threat, violent…
