LONDON (AP) – U.K. lawmakers on Friday voted down legislation to allow terminally ill adults in England and Wales to choose to end their lives. Following an impassioned four-hour debate in the elected House of Commons, the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill was rejected 286 to 270. The outcome was somewhat surprising given that an almost identical bill had passed last year with a margin of 23 votes. The vote brings an end to a two-year debate in Parliament about assisted dying, during which the House of Commons had backed assisted dying on two previous occasions. Their backing…

Last month, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence issued a report detailing the failings of the federal government to implement one of the 9/11 Commission’s most vital recommendations to prevent another 9/11-style attack on American soil: A fully automated biometric entry-exit system for foreign travelers. The 9/11 Commission Report recommended that Congress and presidential administrations adopt several dozen policies to prevent a terrorist attack akin to September 11, 2001, when nearly 3,000 Americans were murdered in New York City; Washington, DC; and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, by foreign terrorist hijackers.

Vladivostok is anchoring Moscow’s turn to Asia through ports, industry, transport and trade ties that sanctions can’t stop The Eastern Economic Forum has evolved from a regional investment showcase into one of the key platforms where Russia’s eastward strategy acquires tangible economic substance. Its central idea revolves around the fact that closer relations with Asia require more than diplomacy and trade alone: they need the development of Russia’s own Far East – its ports, industries, transport corridors, cities, and technological base.The 11th Eastern Economic Forum, held in Vladivostok in early September, centered around the theme of ‘Development for the Benefit…

The Chinese Communist Party has pursued a decades-long, multilayered strategy to embed its influence in American education, adapting each time federal investigations closed one channel. At the university level, Confucius Institutes, Chinese government-funded language and culture centers, peaked at 118 in 2017. In August 2020, the Trump administration designated their US coordinating office a Chinese “foreign mission,” and Congress cut off Pentagon funding to host universities.…

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has secured a record £72 million in political donations over the past 24 hours after two prominent supporters each pledged to give the upstart anti-mass migration party £36 million. On Friday evening, crypto billionaire Ben Delo announced that he would donate a record £36 million to Reform, dwarfing the previous one-time donation record of £10 to the Conservatives in 2022 by Lord Sainsbury. Delo argued that both Labour and Conservative establishment parties have had hundreds of years collectively to create political infrastructure across the UK, making it more difficult for outsider parties to challenge the status quo. “Unlike the…

Twenty-five years ago today our republic suffered the worst terrorist attack in world history. Worse than the atrocities of the first modern terrorists, the Anarchists. Worse than the PLO or IRA during the Cold War. Worse than the violence unleashed by America’s very own left-wing Weather Underground anti-Vietnam war terrorists. The slaughter of almost 3,000 Americans in 102 minutes in Manhattan, Washington, DC, and the brave men and women of Flight 93 that went down in a lonely filled in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, was followed for decades by the Global War on Terror. Twenty-five years later we must ask: have we won?…

DALLAS — Republicans used their midterm convention this week to ask voters to preserve their congressional majorities and let them “finish the job.”But with few consensus legislative goals, it’s far from clear what job they want to finish.The two-day convention here centered on painting Democrats as an increasingly socialist party that American voters cannot trust with power while highlighting the GOP’s one major victory on Capitol Hill under President Donald Trump’s second term: the year-old tax-cut package known as the “big, beautiful bill.”In contrast, there was little talk from the podium of what Republicans might seek to pass with a…

President Trump participates in an interview with Fox’s Laura Ingraham President Trump on Thursday suggested that he will “just take care of business” and finish Iran off after the midterm elections, as he continues to promise the war will be over after November.  Trump has said repeatedly in recent days that the war will come to an end “very shortly” but that the Iranians are trying to make Republicans lose the midterms first. During his RNC address in Dallas on Wednesday, Trump said, “The war will be over very shortly after the election.” “They’re hanging out for dear life, hoping…

Donald Trump said Saturday he would “love to see” a united Ireland, wading into a politically sensitive subject as he embarked on a two-day Irish visit that blurs the lines between his presidency and personal business interests. After meeting Ireland’s Prime Minister Micheal Martin in Dublin, Trump said reunification of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland — split for over a century — would be “a fantastic thing”. “The way I look at it, it’s going to happen eventually. It may as well happen now,” he told reporters, adding though that “the UK will have something to say about…

Thursday on FNC’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) commented on Republican enthusiasm headed into November’s election. According to the Florida Republicans, while the grassroots was fired up, she said there was a “suppression campaign” underway, which she tied to foreign influences, specifically China. “So you’re pretty in touch with the grassroots, Congresswoman,” host Jesse Watters said. “How fired up are they on the Republican side? Luna replied, “Look, the convention yesterday was absolutely packed. I had spoken at around 4:44 Eastern, and what I would say is, the longer that we were there, the more people that…
