Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party has vowed to take steps to mitigate the financial impacts of the so-called “Boriswave” of post-Brexit migrants and to hold a national inquiry into those responsible for importing millions of foreigners into the country against the repeatedly expressed wishes of the British people. A report this week from the leading opposition party has claimed that the cost of around 1.6 million migrants who arrived in Britain under former Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his Tory successors between 2020 and 2024 will cost every British family £20,000 for the pleasure, or £622.5 billion in real…

President Donald Trump’s momentum “will be over” if Democrats emerge victorious in the midterm elections, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Joe Gruters warned during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily. Gruters acknowledged that midterm elections are typically driven and determined by negative emotions — mostly anger. And in some cases, he said, it does not matter what President Donald Trump successfully does, because “Trump Derangement Syndrome is real” and the establishment media “bashes him every single minute of the day.” “And every time he does something better, they get more upset. And so their voters are going to show up,”…

China is winning a global infrastructure war that most Americans don’t even know is being fought. Over the past decade, Beijing has poured hundreds of billions of dollars into roads, ports, railways, and power plants across Africa, the Balkans, and beyond through its Belt and Road Initiative. The pitch sounds generous. The reality is a debt trap: host countries borrow at steep terms, surrender strategic assets when they can’t repay, and watch Chinese workers build Chinese-designed projects using Chinese materials. China builds a port in Sri Lanka, for example, the country defaults, and suddenly Beijing controls a strategic node in…

Sandro Castro, the “influencer” grandson of late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, released a new video this week criticizing the worsening shortages of fuel and water in Cuba — two of the many consequences of the disastrous communist regime forcefully imposed by his family.

Castro has repeatedly claimed in interviews with international outlets that he lives a life “without privileges” and that his position…

Conservative former Mayor of Lima Rafael López Aliaga demanded on Tuesday the annulment of Peru’s recent — and yet-to-be concluded — presidential elections as the country reaches its third day without any definitive results that could clearly determine who will head to an upcoming runoff. Peru marked a new chapter of its already complex political situation on Sunday, when the nation held its first presidential and legislative elections since 2021. The elections were celebrated after a period of political instability that left the South American country with nine different presidents over the past ten years — three of whom were…
