In February of 2023, the infamous “Hammer Gang” Antifa cell allegedly targeted supposed “neo-Nazis” in Budapest, amid an annual celebration of the Hungarian troops that allied with the Waffen SS against the Soviet Red Army during the Siege of Budapest in 1945. According to prosecutors, the Antifa radicals snuck up behind their victims before hitting them in the head with clubs and continuing to beat them as they fell to the ground, leaving some with life-threatening injuries…

I agree with you.” Kiley also said that there needs to be better cooperation from…

The House is set to vote next week on a once-obscure elections bill that has now become a household name among hard-right activists and a major rallying point for an otherwise divided GOP. The SAVE America Act, aimed at tightening voter registration standards, has a difficult path to enactment despite a no-holds-barred pressure campaign from the likes of President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk. Democrats are certain to filibuster the bill in the Senate, and it’s unlikely the GOP is ready to take extraordinary steps to overcome that hurdle. But amid growing fears that their party is not…

And if there was any foreign interference, she’s already violated the law as well of not keeping her congressional oversight committees informed. And I think what I fear, Kaitlan, is that here’s a guy that was obsessed about losing in 2020, obsessed about losing in Georgia and I believe they may…

Last month, the left-wing coalition government of Socialist PM Pedro Sánchez agreed to allow upwards of half a million illegals seek amnesty and obtain residence permits to remain in Spain. While the scheme stipulates that amnesty will not apply to migrants with criminal records — other than the crime of entering Spain illegally — the regularisation decree published by the government this week revealed that Madrid…
