The idea that mass migration poses risks to the United Kingdom is a “creation”, and Britons should not demonise migration, the new head of the government’s unelected equality watchdog has said. The leader of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), one of the massive proliferation of Blair-era ‘quango’ (quasi-non-governmental organisation) bodies created to take power away from the democratically elected parliament and invest it in entrenched arms-length bodies permanently staffed by ideological fellow-travellers, has warned Britons against considering leaving the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), reports   The Daily Telegraph . Accusing discussions around migration and border control…

Mass migration is threatening the foundations of American and European societies, Vice President JD Vance told a UK-based media outlet. “The problem with American immigration… over the four years of the Biden administration, [was] that we let in too many people too quickly,” he said in a December 19 interview with Unherd.com. He continued: If the numbers were much smaller, and we had tried to select for people who were much better at assimilating into American culture, I don’t think that everybody would be looking around and saying, ‘What the hell is going on?’ In the United States, “I’m trying…

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said the Trump administration was “collapsing in a lot of ways.” Host Kasie Hunt said, “I’d like to turn to politics because, as you mentioned, that vote, that impeachment vote, did fail on the floor of the House. If Democrats retake the House in the fall, which is looking increasingly likely next fall in the midterm elections, do you think impeaching the president should be something the House looks at? Raskin said, “I mean, right now we are all 100% absorbed in trying to do the work of getting…

ALBANY, New York — Empire State Republicans expect Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman to turbo charge down-ballot turnout as their party’s gubernatorial nominee — boosting GOP candidates in crucial suburban swing races as he mounts an otherwise uphill battle to unseat Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul. If Blakeman falls short in an underdog bid, New York Republicans can still be successful in what’s shaping up to be a tough political environment. “Blakeman’s top appeal for Republicans, particularly in swing suburbs, can be realized even if he loses,” said Larry Levy, dean of the National Center for Suburban Studies at Hofstra University.…

Thermal imagery from space offers a rare view of heat output from high-load facilities Booming demand from artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency mining has been pushing electricity use higher worldwide, putting growing strain on power grids as energy-hungry data centers expand at a rapid pace. A high-resolution thermal image released this month by UK-based thermal satellite operator SatVu offered a rare glimpse at activity inside a high-load site, with heat signatures tracing where cooling and electrical systems are under load. The image shows a Bitcoin-mining data center campus in Rockdale, Texas. According to the website space.com, Rockdale is home to Riot Platforms’ Bitcoin…

Tokyo must avoid seeking nuclear weapons and “stop plunging further down the wrong path,” Beijing says China has issued a warning to Japan after a senior official reportedly suggested the country should acquire nuclear weapons, stating that such a move would once “again bring disaster to the world.”  An unnamed senior adviser to Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi reportedly argued late last week that Tokyo’s long-standing reliance on the US nuclear arsenal may no longer be fully reliable. The country should potentially reevaluate its post-WWII non-nuclear policies and pursue its own deterrence, the official suggested, as cited by local media.  The Chinese…

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — A small group of socialist activists joined striking baristas at a northside Starbucks on Saturday, attempting to bolster a picket line that drew little interest from customers or nearby holiday shoppers. About 15 baristas have been on strike since December 4, part of a nationwide labor action demanding a union contract and accusing the coffee giant of unfair labor practices. Breitbart Texas observed Saturday morning at the Starbucks on Blanco Road in the Alamo City’s north side, where members of the Party for Socialism and Liberation unfurled a banner and carried signs calling for a boycott…

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said it was a “big mistake” that the Trump administration is not fully releasing the Epstein files. Host Jonathan Karl said, “Let me begin with the Epstein files. Your Kentucky colleague, Thomas Massie, was the force that forced this release. He is saying that the attorney general is violating the law and could, in fact, eventually be prosecuted for doing so. What’s your reaction to this partial release?” Paul said, “I’ve supported transparency on the Epstein files from the beginning. I voted repeatedly to release them. I think it’s a good…

A criminal investigation into the majority owner of the Miss Universe pageant has uncovered allegations that his organization helped smuggle weapons from Guatemala into Mexico, using shipments of clothing and electronics to move guns that ultimately supplied Mexico City’s black market and cartel groups, including Cartel Jalisco New Generation and the Tepito Union. The revelations come from witness testimony in a federal complaint that also links businessman Raul Rocha to cartel financiers and fuel‑theft networks, intensifying controversy surrounding the pageant and its leadership. To move the weapons, arms smugglers would hide their loads in shipments of clothing and electronics flowing…
