Wolfram Weimer’s appearance at the commemoration of the site’s liberation was disrupted by protesters and victims’ relatives German Culture Minister Wolfram Weimer was roundly heckled by protesters and victims’ relatives during a commemorative event at the Buchenwald concentration camp on Sunday.Media magnate Weimar, whose company is at the center of a pay-for-influence networking event controversy, has also imposed an anti-Palestinian censorship regime over the Berlin Film Festival and labeled left-wing bookshops “extremist.” He defied repeated demands/requests from left-wing groups and survivor organizations to steer clear of Sunday’s event over his hardline conservative views, which they described as “far-right.” His 12-minute speech…

It is difficult to believe the pace at which global events are now moving. Apocalyptic threats are being thrown around recklessly and severe damage is being done to the global economic system every single day. A lot of people still seem to think that economic conditions will snap back to normal once the war ends, and that is because they don’t understand the level of destruction that has already taken place. Even if the war ends tomorrow and commercial traffic starts flowing freely through the Strait of Hormuz once again, the world won’t be getting nearly as much energy from…

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel argued that while Obamacare has gotten people insured and saved the government money, “Do we need reform? 100%. I’m the first person to say the system sucks, it’s broken.” Host Bill Maher asked, “Where is Obamacare? What do we need to do?” Emanuel answered, “So, look, we got 25 million people insured. We’ve saved the federal government, through Medicare, more than almost $4 trillion. So, those were the positives. All that time, Republicans were trying to repeal it without a plan about what to do for people who didn’t have…

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer all but confirmed that the Royal Navy would be engaging in minesweeping in the Persian Gulf, as President Trump said it would, but rushed to criticise the anti-Iran naval blockade beginning today. The United Kingdom will not be sending warships to join the U.S. naval blockade of Iran to end Tehran’s practice of benefiting from oil exports to friendly nations while blocking all others, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer told British state broadcaster the BBC on Monday morning. “We’re not supporting the blockade”, said Starmer, who fell back on his old position of using appeals…

Rep. Mark Harris (R-NC) told Breitbart News Saturday that the prospect of former Vice President Kamala Harris running for president in 2028 may certainly “help” Republicans ahead of the pivotal 2028 midterms.

Harris reportedly received some of the loudest…

Congress is back and Republicans just want to talk up the pocketbook benefits of last year’s “big, beautiful bill” ahead of Tax Day this week. But complicating that election-year message are a host of pressing scandals, the threat of further oil price spikes from the Iran war, the record-setting DHS shutdown and other GOP policy squabbles. Here’s what to watch as Congress returns: — TAX TALK: House Republicans are planning a Wednesday all-member news conference to promote tax cuts from last year’s megabill. President Donald Trump is set to take the message to Nevada and Arizona this week. — EXPULSION…

Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh is ready, willing, and eager to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into his filmmaking toolbox. Sodergergh, who is widely (and rightly) credited with launching the independent film boom of the 1990s with his sleeper hit Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989), is refusing to go along with the Hollywood talking points on this issue. “It’s worth talking about what [AI] technology might be good at. I’ve been working with AI lately on the John Lennon and Yoko Ono documentary that we’re almost done with,” Soderbergh said in a recent interview. “AI has been helpful in creating thematically surreal…

Pope Leo XIV responded Monday to President Donald Trump criticising him over the U.S.-Israel war in Iran, telling reporters the Vatican works for peace and reconciliation based on the teachings of the Gospel, adding he fears neither the Trump administration or vigorous debate. “To put my message on the same plane as what the president has attempted to do here, I think is not understanding what the message of the Gospel is,” Leo told the Associated Press aboard the papal plane en route to Algeria. “And I’m sorry to hear that but I will continue on what I believe is…
