Nigel Farage has proclaimed that Reform UK’s dominant performance in last week’s British elections has given his party a national footing to take down the Westminster political duopoly. On the back of his most impactful democratic performance since the 2016 Brexit Referendum, Reform boss Nigel Farage has vowed to hit the ground running in the areas now controlled by his upstart party as it seeks to march towards taking national power at the next general election. “Now we have to show people around the country that, when you elect Reform, you get real change,” he wrote in The Telegraph.

During an interview with Washington Gun Law, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon noted that the term “assault weapons” is “just a made-up category.” Dhillon began by talking about Denver’s ban on “so-called assault rifles, including the most popular rifle in the United States, the AR-15.” She added, “That’s a made-up category, this concept of ‘assault rifles’ or ‘assault weapons.’ It’s just an epithet applied to an effective and popular firearm or a category of firearms.” On September 14, 2014, Breitbart News pointed to a New York Times (NYT) article, which explained that the very term “assault weapon” is…

Nearly a year after the launch of the House Oversight Committee’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation, lawmakers are now wading into a thorny debate over whether certain women in Epstein’s orbit should be considered co-conspirators or victims. The Republican-led panel, eager to haul in witnesses who can shed new light on the convicted sex offender’s crimes, appears to have taken a side in recently asking Sarah Kellen — a top assistant to the late, disgraced financier — to sit for a transcribed interview on May 21. Kellen was one of four women named as possible co-conspirators in the now-controversial 2007 agreement with…

KELLY: Well, first of all, let me, let me…

Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) said President Donald Trump’s coalition of voters “has completely collapsed.” Partial transcript as follows: LIEU: I would disagree that Republicans may have a nice- nine seat advantage, because that’s based on data from last term, and the Trump coalition has completely collapsed because of skyrocketing gas prices, surging inflation. And if you look at the polling data and the results we’ve had in special elections this year as well as last year, we think the Republicans may have an advantage of anywhere between three to five additional seats. That is…

Is the conflict winding down towards an uneasy stability or winding up for a new escalation? In nature, nearly everything obeys the law of the pendulum. Motion begins with an impulse, accelerates under the pressure of kinetic energy, reaches an extreme point, and then, sooner or later, is pulled back toward balance. This balance is never absolute and never eternal.It is only a temporary state of stability, a pause before the next shock, the next pressure, the next external force that sets the mechanism in motion again. Political history has often moved with the same rhythm. Empires expand and contract,…

On this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) said the Iran conflict had been made worse by the actions of President Donald Trump. Reed said, “We’re in a situation now because of Trump’s, discarding the JCPOA, where we have no real insights into or detailed insights into their nuclear program, and they have significantly more enriched nuclear material.

We could build on…

During an event in Chicago, Democrat strategist David Axelrod told her there were “a lot of people” who would like her to run for president in 2028, and asked for her thoughts, Fox News reported Sunday. “You know, it’s funny because in this op-ed that Jeff Bezos paid for in The Washington Post, there was this line you had mentioned earlier about well ‘as a potential 2028 contender,’ XYZ, and in the context of that, it was very clear this was a…
