British PM Starmer refuses to resign. The first year of Keir Starmer’s Premiership may well be the last. Ever since last December, even before Labour peer Lord Peter Mandelson was confirmed as the British Ambassador to the US, we have been reporting here on TGP of the apparent absurdity of the appointment. We had by then learned – on the documents of the US Virgin Island’s suit against JPMorgan – the deep relationship between ‘Petey’ and the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Add to that the fact that former Barclay’s CEO Jes Staley received a lifetime ban on working in…
The far-left New York Times on Sunday published an opinion piece by Brazilian radical leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva criticizing President Donald Trump’s tariff on Brazil and other actions in response to the political persecution of Jair Bolsonaro, who was sentenced to 27 years in prison on dubious “crimes against democracy” charges. According to Lula, the Trump administration seeks “impunity” for Bolsonaro with the tariffs and the sanctions imposed on Supreme Federal Tribunal (STF) Justice Alexandre de Moraes under the Global Magnitsky Act. The Magnitsky Act allows for sanctions against human rights abusers; the U.S. government officially considers…
The California legislature has passed SB 79, which would override local zoning laws to build dense housing near transportation hubs. But residents of fire zones worry it will be used to densify their neighborhoods. The bill, authored by State Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) — who is the author of many of California’s most radical pieces of legislation — is a response to the “yes in my backyard” (YIMBY) movement, which aims to accelerate housing development. But residents of fire zones oppose the bill, which they fear will be used to exploit their temporary plight to build high-rises in areas…
Democrat California State Sen. Scott Wiener expressed sympathy not for the late Charlie Kirk and his family, but with those who hate the Christian conservative, smearing Kirk by stating that he was a “vile bigot who did immeasurable harm.” Wiener used a tactic that many radical leftists have used in the wake of the Turning Point USA founder’s assassination, first claiming that they believe that Kirk — who was publicly assassinated during a speaking event at Utah Valley University — did not deserve to die. However, he then proceeded to justify the vile feelings many rabid leftists have — many…
Senators mostly agree the process for confirming a president’s nominees is broken. They also know it could easily get worse. This week’s “nuclear” rules change by Senate Republicans — allowing most of President Donald Trump’s nominees to be confirmed in groups — is only the latest hammer lawmakers have taken to the once collegial nominations process. The rancor could be turned up even higher, however, in a scenario the Senate hasn’t faced since it first changed the confirmation rules along party lines more than a decade ago: a newly elected president facing a majority of a different party. Split government…

But we may find ourselves in a situation where our defense industries are blocked.”We…
Trump advisor Stephen Miran was confirmed to the Federal Reserve Board ahead of Tuesday’s high-stakes interest rate meeting at the Fed. Miran was confirmed in the Senate in 48-47 vote. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will meet on Tuesday to set interest rates.

Fox News reported: The Senate confirmed Stephen Miran, one of the White House’s top economic advisors, on Monday to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, the body that…
The government of Chile announced the arrival this weekend of a group of 67 individuals “with close ties to Chile” from the Gaza strip. Chile’s Foreign Ministry detailed in a brief Saturday statement that the decision to take in the 67 refugees, including 36 children and teenagers, is part of the South American country’s “firm commitment to international humanitarian law and was made possible thanks to a coordinated effort by the government with the collaboration of various international organizations.” “The evacuation began on September 10 with the group’s transfer by land and then by air. Throughout the process, they were…
A sunset vigil on the Jersey Shore for assassinated conservative activist and commentator Charlie Kirk attracted as many as 4,000 people on Sunday, organizers said, and was one of several such events honoring Kirk in the state. The largest of such events in New Jersey occurred at Windward Beach Park in Brick, a town in the northern half of the Jersey Shore, and featured several Republican public officials speaking as well as prayers for Kirk and his family. Elsewhere in the state, moments of silence and assemblies were organized in Kirk’s name this weekend in Sussex, Burlington, and Bergen counties,…
