America Should Grant Political Asylum
to Victims of European Tyranny

America has long been a beacon of freedom to the oppressed, a shining symbol of liberty with – as our leftist friends tell us – an unlimited moral obligation to provide perpetual shelter to anyone who suffers at the hands of their government. Millions of people from around the world have ignored that irritating asylum requirement that you apply at the first country you reach and have come all the way over here to America in a quest to quench their yearning for being free (as well as their yearning to turn our country into the same kind of garbage hellhole they allegedly fled from, but that’s another column).

Turn the beacon off. No asylum for anybody, from anywhere, for any reason. Let the rest of the world step up to help them, or not. What these parasites have is a yearning to 'live for free' take what we have, and destroy what we stand for. The rest is lies.

NO. We, as a country, have to get back onto our feet. This country has been scammed for too many years. We have to recover. Go to Australia! Not here!

Absolutely not! They can stay in their countries and work on fixing things there. We're closed!

No, Kurt. They need to stay where they are, and start the revolution to overthrow their government. It won’t be easy, because they willingly surrendered their guns a long time ago, but it will have to be done. Otherwise, they’re toast.

We should absolutely welcome genuine refugees from political and religious persecution -- and not just from Europe and South Africa. For example, persecuted Christians in Nigeria -- particularly young girls at risk for abduction and sexual assault.

Óscar Pérez-Oliva Fraga, great-nephew of the dictators Fidel and Raúl Castro, has been appointed deputy to the National Assembly of People's Power in a session marked by inexplicable resignations of several parliamentarians. This appointment, which took place on December 17, 2025, is not a mere bureaucratic procedure, but a strategic step that legally enables him to run for the presidency of the Republic in the upcoming sham elections of 2028, perpetuating the legacy of communist oppression on the island.

Immigration & Sexual Violence – Nothing to See Here! Britain is now the sort of country where you can get an instant answer to ‘What is the carbon footprint of a sausage roll?’. Yet if you ask, ‘Are we importing risk to women along with importing people?’ our nation state stares at its shoes and starts muttering about ‘complexity’. Let us begin with two official lines that any half-awake citizen can see are rising at the same time. Line one, sexual violence. The ONS crime bulletin for the year ending June 2025 reports 211,225 sexual offences recorded by the police in England and Wales are up 9% from the previous year.

The son of a former ambassador from Iran to Australia posted a cryptic threat on X hours before the Islamic terrorist father-and-son team attacked Jewish-Australian celebrants at an iconic beach in New South Wales, Australia. In his tweet, Ahmad Ghadiri Abyaneh, son of former ambassador Mohammad-Hassan Ghadiri Abyaneh, attacked Jews for celebrating a “satanic ritual” by honoring Chanukah. He claimed that these Jewish holiday celebrations required an active defense, quoting Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, who called for “societal defense.” The most recent ambassador from Iran, Ahmad Sadeghi, was expelled from Australia because of the Iranian embassy’s sponsorship of at least two violent anti-Semitic incidents in Australia.

Imagine if your 15-year-old came to my house, and I gave them a book about edgy sex positions? What if I gave your 16-year-old a book with graphic illustrations of oral or anal sex? Would you be happy with that? Or would you be mighty suspicious of me? Many parents may not know it, but there is an ongoing fight over certain books and whether they should be given to minors without their parents’ knowledge or consent. That’s what the American Library Association wants. The ALA recently launched a nationwide campaign against so-called “book bans,” with ALA President Sam Helmick (they/them) saying it is about the “freedom to read.”

CBS pulled a “60 Minutes” segment on Venezuelan migrants who were sent to El Salvador’s notorious maximum-security prison, CECOT, just hours before its scheduled Sunday broadcast time. “The broadcast lineup for tonight’s edition of 60 Minutes has been updated,” the program ‌posted in an Editor’s Note on social media three hours before it was set to air. “Our report ‘Inside CECOT’ will air in a future broadcast,” the post said.

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz threw down the gauntlet on the Alex Marlow Show, contending that the Trump administration will aggressively target fraudsters in Minnesota and beyond. Rampant fraud and misuse of billions of taxpayer dollars recently uncovered in Minnesota – much of it committed by hordes of Somali refugees descended upon the state in recent decades – has spurred the Trump administration to zero in on fraudsters and the state officials permitting and even facilitating the illegal use of funds.

The Australian state of New South Wales is proposing to ban public displays of Islamic State group flags or extremist symbols after a mass shooting driven by antisemitism killed 15 people at Sydney’s Bondi Beach. Under draft laws to be debated by the state Parliament, publicly displaying the IS flag or symbols from other extremist groups will be offenses punishable by up to two years in prison and fines. The state’s premier, Chris Minns, also said chants of “globalize the intifada” will be banned and police would be given greater powers to demand protesters remove face coverings at demonstrations. “Hate speech or incitement of hatred has no place in our society,”

More than a dozen files tied to notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein mysteriously vanished from the Justice Department’s website just one day after the agency released the massive, long-awaited trove of documents and photos to the public, according to reports. At least 16 files — among thousands available Friday — were taken down with no explanation from the government, leading to criticism from Democrats on Capitol Hill. The missing docs included images of nude female paintings — and according to the Dems, a picture of a desk that had numerous framed photos on it and some photos piled in an open drawer.

The penny-pinching Manhattan Psychiatric Center administrator who greenlit the release of the deranged Macy’s stabber has a long history of mental illness herself – and made her decision on the recommendation of a “temporary” shrink, The Post has learned. Caitlin Stork, clinical director of the center on Wards Island, tried to kill herself twice as a teen and battled bipolar disorder, which was treated with lithium and the antipsychotic Seroquel, she told the Charlotte Observer in 2003. The 43-year-old Ohio native relied on the advice of a temporary shrink, or a “locum tenens” psychiatrist hired on a contract basis, in releasing alleged stabber Kerri Aherne earlier this month,

It’s an imperfect solution, but Republicans likely need to do a temporary extension of Obamacare subsidies while they get fixes up and running. This week, the House passed a bill full of vital health-insurance reforms (the Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act), but several GOP moderates also end-ran Speaker Mike Johnson to keep alive hope of some bipartisan deal that would extend the COVID-era subsidies that make the existing system affordable for middle-class Americans who have no better choice as the law now stands.

US Central Command released footage from Operation Hawkeye strikes against ISIS militants and facilities on Friday night. “Tonight, U.S. and Jordanian forces struck 70+ ISIS targets in Syria with 100+ precision munitions. Peace through strength,” CENTCOM said on X. This is one of 10 operations conducted in Syria and Iraq since the December 13 ambush in Syria, which left multiple American service members injured and two soldiers and a civilian interpreter killed. Twenty-three terrorist operatives have been killed or detained, according to CENTCOM. “We will continue to relentlessly pursue terrorists who seek to harm Americans and our partners across the region,” CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper said.

For a peek into how California Governor Gavin Newsom would rule the country if elected President, look no further than his California Agricultural Land Equity Task Force. This ambiguous agency was buried within the state budget in 2022 during Newsom's statewide Covid lockdown, when media was not allowed near the governor or Legislature. (snip) The report the Equity Task Force recently released recommending a land grab from white farmers reads like a "How To" Marxism 101 manual at UC Berkeley. (snip) This comprehensive business plan requires more illegal reparations in the form of hostile land "takings" seizures, this time for "indigenous" tribes and farm workers.

There used to be a clear understanding about what the Wall Street Journal was and what it wasn’t. At one time WSJ was trusted and serious. It was a business-minded, economically grounded, and culturally restrained paper. Even readers who disagreed with its editorial stance understood that the WSJ operated in a different lane than lifestyle outlets or activist rags. It went without saying. But now, that clarity is gone. Over the past few years, the Journal’s news division has begun publishing stories that feel completely disconnected from the brand it spent decades building. The tone and the subject matter have totally shifted. And the professional instincts that once separated

Western civilization arose in Greece in the 8th century BC, when some 1,500 city-states emerged from a murky, illiterate, 400-year Dark Age. That chaos followed the utter collapse of the palatial culture of Mycenaean Greece. But what re-emerged were constitutional government, rationalism, liberty, freedom of expression, self-critique and free markets — what we know now as the foundation of a unique Western civilization.[snip] From the Atlantic to the Persian Gulf and from the Rhine and Danube to the Sahara were a million square miles of safety, prosperity, progress and science — until the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD.

House and Senate Democrats are demanding that President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) rescind a new regulation that will prevent welfare-dependent foreign nationals from resettling in the U.S. USCIS Director Joe Edlow has issued a final rule that will reinstate Trump’s “public charge” rule from his first term, which enforced Clinton-era laws from 1996 that delegated all financial responsibility to a family member or business sponsor of a foreign national seeking a green card when they had previously used welfare programs. In February 2021, then-President Joe Biden ended Trump’s public charge rule, revamping welfare-dependent immigration. House and Senate Democrats are now writing to

When I was a kid, my middle sister’s birthday was December 10th. As part of her celebration, the family went out to buy a live Christmas tree. Not because we were virtuous. Not because of tradition. Because that’s when the tree lots opened. There were no pre-lit artificial trees waiting in plastic coffins in the attic. You didn’t unbox Christmas. You went outside and found it, standing upright in the cold, guarded by a man with twine and cold hands in a worn corduroy jacket.

Power continues to be restored to tens of thousands of San Francisco businesses and residences following a Saturday outage that affected some 130,000 customers, according to Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E). The outage was caused by a fire at an electrical substation, according to PG&E. By Sunday evening, there remained about 14,000 customers who were still without service, PG&E said. The company said it expects to restore power to all remaining customers impacted by the outage by 2 p.m. on Monday. "PG&E crews will continue to work until all customers have been restored," the company said. While the damage to the substation was "significant and extensive," there were no injures to
