The ballpark announcer introduced the two Democrat politicians as they joined team dignitaries for a pregame ceremony on the field and smiled as many of the 37,000 in attendance expressed their disapproval.

A Fragile System Built on Invisible Inputs The modern global food system, often perceived as vast, resilient, and technologically advanced, rests on a surprisingly fragile foundation—fertilizers. These chemical inputs, largely invisible to the average consumer, sustain nearly half of global food production. Without them, the abundance of supermarkets, the predictability of harvests, and the stability of food prices would rapidly unravel. Recent disruptions in fertilizer supply chains, intensified by geopolitical conflict, energy crises, and trade fragmentation, are exposing just how precarious this foundation truly is. What makes the situation particularly alarming is not merely the shortage itself, but the interconnected…

Following changes made to the nation’s military service laws introduced earlier this year, in a bid to increase Berlin’s anaemic Bundeswehr armed forces, a regulation has come into effect, meaning that all men between the ages of 17 and 45 must receive dispensation from the military to travel abroad for more than three months. The text of the law, which was adopted in January, states that if such men “want to remain outside the Federal Republic…
The Wisconsin Supreme Court election last year was supposed to decide the fate of “Western civilization.” Tuesday’s contest has been a decidedly muted affair. Voters will choose between liberal Chris Taylor and conservative Maria Lazar in the state’s third spring high court election in just four years. But unlike the last election — which drew more than $100 million in spending and attracted major national attention — this year’s contest is barely even resonating with voters inside Wisconsin. “I’m a big college basketball fan, and you couldn’t watch a game a year ago without seeing a Supreme Court ad,” said…

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel detailed the agency’s major victories cracking down on violent crime, as well as the Trump administration’s aggressive pursuit of fraud, during an interview with Breitbart News Saturday. Patel emphasized that President Donald Trump’s “back the blue” attitude, combined with sending agents out into the field and prioritizing partnerships with local sheriffs’ offices and departments, has emboldened law enforcement around the nation to pursue justice more forcefully. Host and Breitbart D.C. bureau chief Matthew Boyle pointed to a 125-year-low in the murder rate in major U.S. cities, as well as a 200-percent increase…
