Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has revealed that his home was targeted in a firebombing attack in the latest example of political violence directed towards the Brexit leader. While the world was once again forced to hold its collective breath on Saturday evening as an attempted assassin sought to slay U.S. President Donald Trump, the safety of populists throughout the West has become an increasing concern. Over the pond in Britain, longtime Trump ally Nigel Farage has long faced acts of political violence, including all too frequent assaults, including from people throwing cement and milkshakes. Last year, an Afghan illegal migrant…

Three judges have endorsed the release of illegal migrants held in New York detention centers by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. “HUGE news,” declared Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a pro-migration advocate at the American Immigration Council. He added: Immigrants detained in New York, Vermont, and Connecticut must be given bond hearings [and likely release] unless they have a criminal record or are subject to some other ground of mandatory detention. This creates a circuit split, so the Supreme Court will likely hear the case next term. The decision was made by three judges in the United States Court of Appeals for…

Kind of scary, isn’t it? But wait, there is more, as they say in cheap commercials selling steak knives. Have you ever heard of super phosphate? Oh, the mere mention of it reminds me of the good old days on the farm in New Zealand all those years ago. Spreading fertiliser with an old Bedford truck. You never forget the distinctive smell of “super,” nor 2-4-D, 2-4-5-T, or Paraquat for that matter. Yes, 2-4-D and 2-4-5-T combined was essentially Agent Orange — that horrid defoliant used in Vietnam. Super phosphate is the backbone of fertilisers used on farms. Superphosphate and…

A study published in Spain finds a majority of young Spaniards perceive mass migration as a “real threat” and associate it with rising crime, while agreeing that there are “too many migrants” in their country. The study, titled, Jovenes Españoles 2026 (“Spanish Youth 2026”) was published by the Spanish non-profit organization Fundacion SM, and it contains an exhaustive analysis of the current reality of Spaniards aged between 15-24 during 2025 across a wide range of subjects, comparing the findings with those from 2020 and 2005. Health, family, earning money, and free time and leisure were found to be the top most important aspects for…

Jerome Powell said Wednesday that he will continue to serve on the board of governors of the Federal Reserve after his chairmanship of the central bank ends next month. Powell said his decision to remain as governor is based on concerns over “legal attacks” he said the Trump administration has taken against the Fed. Powell’s term as governor lasts until January 2028 but he said he has not determined how long he will remain on the board. “These legal actions by this administration are unprecedented in our 113-year history and there are ongoing threats of additional actions.,” Powell said at…

First Lady Melania Trump’s supporters are organizing a grassroots boycott of advertisers for ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! amid a report saying that Disney is “ready to pull” the plug following the left-wing TV host’s comments fantasizing about President Donald Trump’s death just days before the third documented assassination attempt on his life. Kimmel is facing intense backlash from scores of fed-up Melania Trump fans after he called the First Lady an “expectant widow” before a gunman attempted to assassinate President Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday evening. “Starting today, I won’t buy any products advertised on the @jimmykimmel Show,” one…

An arcane financial policy idea that conservatives love to hate has become a perpetual nightmare for House Speaker Mike Johnson. House Republicans have been pushing legislation for years that would ban the Federal Reserve from creating a central bank digital currency. Republican hardliners have repeatedly pushed to ban a CBDC in key bills that require Democratic support in the Senate to pass, imperiling their path forward. Conservatives secured their biggest victory on the issue yet Wednesday after convincing GOP leaders to combine the digital currency ban with a bill reauthorizing government spy powers set to expire Thursday. That’s setting up…

Armed colonists burn, beat, and kill with near-total impunity – because their violence serves a larger system of land theft and expulsion Almost daily, there are updates on brutal attacks by armed Israeli settlers – really, colonists – against Palestinians. They shoot or ferociously beat – sometimes to the point of murder – Palestinian civilians, male and female, young and old, including entire families.These attacks have been occurring for decades. I’ve written about them many times, including what I saw in different regions of the West Bank during my eight months there in 2007. Back then, the violence was already horrific. Now,…

Anti-socialist Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado confirmed Tuesday that she intends to run for president in the event a free and fair election takes place in the South American country. Venezuela is currently going through a new chapter in its decades-old political crisis since President Donald Trump authorized a U.S. law enforcement operation in Caracas on January 3 that led to the arrest of socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, both of whom are presently undergoing trial proceedings in a New York court on multiple drug trafficking charges. Delcy Rodríguez is currently serving as “acting president”…
