Married for 37 years and approaching retirement, Dorsie and Dan Schmitz found themselves worried about U.S. politics and their own finances. They owned a large house on a 31-acre spread, in the rural, no-stoplight town of Blanchard, Michigan (population 3,100), an hour north of Grand Rapids. The cost of living there is 20% below the national average, but they wanted a different lifestyle, one they weren’t sure they could afford in the U.S. Moreover, as an interracial couple with a liberal bent, they didn’t like much of what they saw happening politically on a national level. “We couldn’t find the…

The public Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC)/Radio-Canada refused to answer when asked how much it expects to spend on competing in the 2027 Eurovision Song Contest, the Canadian Press revealed on Tuesday. Eurovision is an annual music competition in which dozens of mostly European countries submit an original song to be performed live. The contest typically consists of two semi-final competitions and one “Grand Final” from which the champion is chosen via public votes and the votes of national professional juries in competing countries. It is held annually in May; the 2026 edition, won by Bulgaria, held its Grand Final on…

Adam Aron, CEO of AMC Theaters, has endorsed the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger, arguing that it could save the film industry. In a lengthy op-ed for Variety, Aron said that the industry’s theatrical distribution has seen a “comeback” in the past few years as moviegoers return to cinema post-coronavirus. While he credits this with his company’s hardwork in distinguishing itself as a comfortable place for the moviegoing, he ultimately admitted the effort would be futile if not for the work of studios producing great movies. “The proposed Paramount-Warner Bros Discovery merger is poised to create a powerful combined company, one that will…

Senate Republicans are prepping a jam-packed — if somewhat optimistic — agenda for their final week before summer recess. Majority Leader John Thune wants to move stopgap funding through Dec. 11, bipartisan Russia sanctions legislation and a bloc of nominees — perhaps including attorney general pick Todd Blanche. He’s also under pressure from President Donald Trump, administration officials and many of his GOP colleagues to adopt a budget resolution — the first step in unlocking another party-line spending bill. Leaders are prioritizing the stopgap, though. Appropriations Chair Susan Collins (R-Maine) expects continuing resolution text to be unveiled later today, she…

Credit: Daniel Torok/White House President Trump announced on Thursday that his Board of Peace has reached an agreement to disarm Hamas and “all other armed groups in Gaza,” Trump said.  According to Axios, Hamas is expected to sign in the coming days, multiple sources say. Trump announced the “Board of Peace”, which he heads and chairs, to run the Gaza Strip, in his 20-point Gaza Peace Plan last September. This comes amid continued fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza since the collapse of the ceasefire. Video from earlier this week shows Israeli forces launching an airstrike against a mosque…

Three years ago, Sharon V. Salinger, a California native, history professor and retired dean of undergraduate education at University of California, Irvine, moved from a house in pricey Pasadena, California, to Paris, France. While her monthly rent for a one-bedroom flat is a stiff $2,765, it’s in the trendy 11th Arrondissement and includes utilities and comes furnished. Now 80, Salinger extols the economic advantages of leaving the U.S. Among them: She no longer needs a car, and tickets to the Paris Opera are cheaper than a seat at the Los Angeles Philharmonic. “I do love this city,” she says. Before…

Iran’s terrorist Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed to have killed “several” Americans during a bombing of Jordan overnight into Thursday and destroyed three fighter jets — a report the Jordanian government appeared to deny, as it reported only that it had intercepted missiles that ultimately caused no harm. The IRGC’s claims followed the Pentagon revealing that it had launched a sprawling strike campaign targeting Iran’s missile and drone capabilities late on Wednesday intended to degrade the rogue state’s ability to attack its neighbors and disrupt global shipping. Iran has for months blocked the free transit of international commercial ships…

The high tax regime in Britain has contributed to the number of millionaires in the country falling to its lowest level since the 2008 financial crash, a think tank has found. The “millionaire tracker” from the Adam Smith Institute think tank reported this week that the number of millionaires located in the United Kingdom fell to 442,000 in 2025. This represented a seven per cent decline from the previous year and the lowest figure since the financial crisis. The tracker, which relies on data from the British government’s Office for National Statistics (ONS), records the number of UK adults with a net worth…

Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed participated in Black Lives Matter demonstrations in 2020 while arguing that the protests should not be subjected to the same public-health concerns used to justify restrictions on other mass gatherings. In a clip provided exclusively to Breitbart News from a 2020 interview with commentator Brian Tyler Cohen, El-Sayed defended the demonstrations and rejected the premise that the protests should be pitted against public-health concerns related to the coronavirus. “There is no fair pitting of the protests for Black lives against public health,” El-Sayed said. El-Sayed claimed that systemic racism causes 83,000 deaths in the…
