Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party has vowed to deploy the Royal Navy to the English Channel to prevent illegal migrants from reaching British shores. Announcing what the party claims would be the largest military operation in the Channel since the end of the Second World War, Reform said that if given power, it would enact a naval blockade to make the waterway “impenetrable” to boat migrants and their people smuggler backers. According to The Telegraph, “Operation Fortress” would see unauthorised boats detained by the Royal Navy, who would provide them with food and water before escorting them back to the…
Rep. Brian Mast appeared on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo this weekend to discuss negotiations with Iran. President Donald Trump has stopped attacks on Iran at this time, if a deal can be reached. The Iranian regime has never been truthful in their deals with the United States. “Let me first ask you to get your reaction to the President holding off on any more attacks right now on Iran if the deal is agreed upon. I feel like we have been here before. Are you buying the Iranian’s saying that the perimeters of a deal have been…
Democrats can’t win back the white working class with staged populism while embracing the policies and elites that drove those voters away. The last Democratic candidate to appeal to the white working-class voter was Bill Clinton. He needed every one of those voters in his 1992 and 1996 races. Yet he still failed to win 50 percent of the popular vote because of Ross Perot’s third-party candidacy. Hunting for the Left-Wing Blue-Collar American Since then, the Democratic brand has lost the white working-class vote in nearly every presidential election. Yet this demographic still makes up 40 percent of the electorate…
The first fortnight of Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s government appears to indicate that his administration, like those before his, will once again be overshadowed by the migrant crisis in the English Channel, with over 2,000 illegals arriving on British shores since he took power just two weeks ago. A further 326 illegal migrants successfully crossed the Channel from the French coastline on Saturday in people-smuggler-coordinated small boats, taking the total number since Burnham was installed in Downing Street by the left-wing Labour Party last month to 2,057. In comparison, some 1,962 migrants were recorded crossing the Channel illegally during the same time period…
The U.S. moved to support Japan on Friday in their first joint action in 28 years to boost the yen after the struggling currency plunged to a four-decade low. President Donald Trump applauded the historic intervention in the yen market as a “signal of friendship” that would financially benefit the U.S. and the wider global economy. The full scope and scale of the joint operation is not known, but AFP reports it is the first since 2011 when the two countries — and other G7 members — sold yen to stop it rising after a huge earthquake. Trump affirmed the concerted…

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on Sunday weighed in on the Maine Senate race on NBC’s Meet the Press with Kristen Welker, where he doubled down on support for ex-Senate nominee Graham Platner and became frustrated when asked if he regrets endorsing him. Sanders was first asked about Platner’s unelected replacement, Troy Jackson, whom the Democratic Party swapped in as the nominee after Platner was pressured by the party to drop out of the race last month. While noting that he was “not involved in that process at all,” he said he’s known Jackson for years and described him as a…

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that the media has been “lying” about the politics of far-left candidates and criticized California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) for his accommodating stance towards them. During his closing monologue on democratic socialism, Maher said that “this nonsense is not where most Democratic politicians are right now. But it’s also becoming a raging Fyre Festival in the party that neither is anyone putting out.” He continued, “People are actually getting elected now who literally don’t think we should have police or prisons or borders. And, again, they’re not lying about…
