China’s communist dictator Xi Jinping debuted yet another vague plan toward world peace on Wednesday during an official visit to Egypt, one that not-so-subtly suggested Middle Eastern states should consider limiting their ties to America. Xi conducted a two-day visit to Cairo this week following a hectic diplomatic schedule that began by welcoming Jordanian King Abdullah II to Beijing in late August and also included at stop at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. There, Xi held meetings with some of his most important allies, such as Russian strongman Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, though…

Democrat Sherrod Brown repeatedly opposed $800 million in anti-fentanyl measures until making an election year about-face in his failed 2024 reelection campaign. Brown’s shameless flip-flop follows a pattern of pandering to voters in Ohio as he seeks to return to the U.S. Senate in November. He is locked in a close race with Sen. Jon Husted, the state’s former lieutenant governor who was appointed to fill the remainder of Vice President JD Vance’s term. Ohio was one of the states with the highest number of fentanyl and illicit drug overdose deaths in the past decade. In 2021 and 2022, Brown opposed…

Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar visited Kyiv, Ukraine, on Thursday with a message of solidarity, offering India’s support to end the ongoing Russian invasion of the country. Jaishankar demurred when challenged regarding India’s significant trade volume with Russia, particularly buying oil, stating that the war will not end or continue based on whether “somebody is buying or not buying oil.” The foreign minister’s visit is nonetheless a notable improvement in the bilateral relationship between Ukraine and India, which has struggled to find consistency since Russia first launched a full-scale invasion of the country in 2022 (following a decade of occupation).…

The United Nations announced this week that “Earth has lost its chance to prevent some of the worst of global warming’s harms” so U.N. officials now “recommend trying to limit excessive warming and then bring the temperature back down to the agreed-upon threshold.” This dire prediction comes just weeks after United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres requested $1.3 trillion per year from the world’s “developed countries” for U.N. funds called the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage and the Green Climate Fund. Guterres said: Developed countries must keep their promises, including support to the Fund for Responding to Loss and…

Screencap of Twitter/X video. A homeless encampment in Seattle is so overrun with garbage that it is being described as an environmental hazard, yet it keeps expanding in size. Trees are even being cut down to make it bigger. Of course, this makes no sense because Seattle is a city filled with liberals who care about the environment. Isn’t it? Where is the socialist mayor, who claims to care so deeply about issues like the environment? Where are all the activists who will show up to protest anything at the drop of a hat? KOMO News reports: ‘A humanitarian crisis’:…

Still, the house was already boiling over before the bout even began as Miller’s fans waved Nazi flags that arena staffers soon took away. The Kia Center in Orlando — home of the NBA’s Orlando Magic — erupted in at least a half dozen fights in the stands during…
