Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has called the increasingly popular AfD an “anti-democratic” party with “undeniable” ties to Moscow German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has called for regional governments to be cut off from the federal intelligence-sharing network if the country’s most popular party, Alternative for Germany (AfD), wins upcoming state elections.The minister branded the right-wing party, which has enjoyed the largest share of public support for months, “anti-democratic” in an interview with Bild published on Sunday, and said Berlin should be prepared to “consistently counter it.”Pistorius claimed that the AfD could not be trusted with state secrets because of its…
This year’s Fourth of July celebrated America’s 250th birthday as well as one year since President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law. A key feature of this legislation created the so-called “Trump Accounts,” special tax-advantaged savings accounts designed to help younger Americans develop wealth. While many people focus on the $1,000 free seed funding provided by the U.S. government for any child born in 2025, 2026, 2027 and 2028, others may not realize that Trump Accounts are for more than just neworns.What Trump Accounts Actually DoA Trump Account is a new type of tax-advantaged savings account…
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told NATO he is looking for “strong decisions” ahead of his planned meeting with President Donald Trump at the alliance summit in Ankara this week. NATO members should stop hoarding air defence missiles in their domestic warehouses and hand them over to Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky said ahead of the first day of this week’s NATO alliance summit in Ankara, Turkey. While U.S. President Donald Trump is to use the meeting to make clear to his fellow leaders that their defence spending levels aren’t sufficient and need to be increased to hold the alliance together, resolving…
It’s the Secret Service officer who bumps my fist through the window of my Mustang as I pull onto the White House campus, and as he wishes me “a Blessed Day.” It’s the gaggle of National Guardsmen we thank for keeping us safe as my wife and I walk along the Great American State Fair in anticipation of America’s biggest birthday. It’s the superhuman special operators I watched live from the Situation Room, a month ago, execute a perfect counterterrorism operation against ISIS Jihadis in Nigeria, the biggest operation since 9/11, with 199 Enemy Killed in Action, 199 men who…
The “supreme leader” of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, was notably absent from funeral events for his father and predecessor Ali Khamenei this weekend – an absence emphasized by the presence of three of his brothers. The elder Khamenei, who brutalized his citizens for decades as dictator, was eliminated in an American military action on February 28, as announced by President Donald Trump. The Iranian terror regime waited until the weekend of July 4, which marked the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, to organize massive nationwide events of forced mourning for the bloodthirsty ruler. Iranian officials hastily announced…
Vice President JD Vance called on Americans to “reject the view” of the United States that sees only the sins of the nation, instead of “its grace and its greatness.” Speaking aboard the USS Kearsarge in the New York harbor, Vance spoke about how as the nation celebrates its 250th birthday, people would “hear a couple small, but loud voices today speak obsessively” about the country’s imperfections. “Ladies and gentlemen, I have to address what you will hear from some loud voices today. Because as much as all of us, whether we’re Democrat or Republican, whatever our political persuasion — all…
Even with a suspect in court, Berlin will still protect Kiev and the wider cover-up rather than confront a devastating truth Imagine a Hollywood movie. It’s a thriller about a big bad secret. One of those that have far-reaching, even earth-shaking political stakes attached to them; the sort of ‘this-changes-everything’ information that, if revealed, can topple governments, break up alliances, and redefine friends and enemies on the grand chessboard of geopolitics.Such a secret could be, for instance, about an international conspiratorial network of pedophilia and other especially revolting crimes, serving as a pervasive influence operation to capture US and other…
On Monday, Belgian soccer officials were granted the right to appeal the FIFA decision to suspend the highly controversial red card given to star U.S. striker Falorin Balogun, mere hours before the Belgians were set to face the Americans in their Round of 16 matchup in Seattle. The appeal comes on the heels of a strongly worded protest lodged by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) in which the organization charged FIFA with crossing a “red line.” FIFA officials suspended the red card on Sunday and converted Balogun’s punishment into a one-year probation, using the same powers under Article…
American settlers created the United States’ freedom culture, not just the Founders’ words, President Donald Trump said Friday in a Mount Rushmore speech that celebrated the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. “There is no American freedom without American culture, and there is no American founding without the American people,” Trump declared. That pitch is very different from progressives’ claims that America’s culture of freedom can be re-created or absorbed by any diverse migrant populations that agree to the civic creed outlined in the Declaration of Independence. The progressives’ “creedal nation” theme has been pushed by pro-migration advocates such…
After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, two concepts entered common political usage, the “war of necessity” and the “war of choice.” The first meant territorial defense and national survival and the second, a war launched not in response to an immediate attack but by calculation and design. The terms were popularized by the American commentator Charles Krauthammer, and later developed by Richard Haass, who used them to assess the US intervention in Iraq in 2003.The Bush administration launched that war not because Iraq posed an immediate threat to the United States, but because Washington chose to act, guided…
