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,”…

Slovenia is preparing a referendum on withdrawal from the bloc as Trump’s threats deepen internal divisions Slovenia’s newly elected parliament speaker has announced plans to hold a referendum on withdrawing the country from NATO, as the US‑led military bloc reels from its worst internal crisis in decades with Washington threatening to pull out from the organization entirely.The leader of the Truth Party, Zoran Stevanovic, was elected as the head of the lower house last week.

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. The younger Castro proclaimed, “We live in a circus,” and said that his car is like Cuba, “it won’t move forward.” Sandro Castro is a self-described “filmmaker,” “digital creator,” and “influencer” with about 160,000 followers on his Instagram account. 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…

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani used Tax Day to unveil an annual tax on high-value properties owned by people who do not live in the city full-time, framing the measure as part of his broader effort to raise taxes on wealthy residents and property owners. Mamdani announced on Wednesday: When I ran for mayor, I said I was going to tax the rich. Well, today, we’re taxing the rich. I’m thrilled to announce we’ve secured a pied-à-terre tax, the first in New York’s history. This is an annual fee on luxury properties worth more than $5 million whose owners do…

Wednesday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said the Trump administration has presented “zero evidence privately or publicly that there was an imminent threat to the United States of America” from Iran. Co-host Joe Kernen said, “You talk about some of the objectives that haven’t been, we haven’t actually accomplished yet. In your view, isn’t it possible that that maybe we could accomplish them if we either go through negotiations or continue to put the pressure on you think we should unilaterally just stop?” Jeffries said, “I think that we have to end this reckless war of…
