Jewish leaders warned antisemitism in the UK was “gathering momentum” after a projectile was thrown through a window at the Kenton United Synagogue in Harrow, north London. Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya (HAYI), an Islamist militant group, said it was behind the attack. It has now claimed responsibility for five incidents targeting Jewish sites in London, including the firebombing of four ambulances in Golders Green in March and a botched drone attack on the Israeli embassy last week. Counter-terror police believe the group could be linked to the Iranian regime and recruiting assailants online with no allegiance to their cause by using “quick cash”.

The US president's negotiations and ceasefires] are viewed by Tehran, Gaza and Beirut as infidels trying to tell Muslims what to do. For them, such a situation is unimaginable, unacceptable, and cannot be allowed to stand. To Iran's current leaders, whoever they are, if Trump carries out his threat to bomb the country's bridges and power plants on Wednesday, so be it. In the view of Iran's theocratic regime, none of that is of any importance so long as it survives, in any form, to be able to continue waging jihad (holy war) against its people, its neighbors and the West.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has yet to endorse a candidate in the Republican primary to succeed him—a silence that some GOP leaders say reflects his longstanding respect for Rep. Byron Donalds. During a podcast appearance with Katie Miller last week, Donalds, R-Fla., revealed that DeSantis once considered him for a top leadership role in the state party. “When Governor DeSantis was elected back in 2018, we had a conversation and he asked if I’d be interested in becoming state party chairman of Florida,” Donalds said. Republican leaders in Florida told The Daily Signal that DeSantis’ past support for Donalds may explain why the outgoing governor has declined to take sides—

Following the leak of the Dobbs draft, liberal Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan reportedly screamed “so loudly” at then-Justice Stephen Breyer that the “wall was shaking.” A draft of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was leaked to Politico’s senior legal reporter Josh Gerstein in May 2022. Via Politico at the time of the leak: “The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court and obtained by POLITICO.” Justice Alito’s opinion is a “full-throated, unflinching repudiation” Politico said.

A quick glance at the headlines reveals we are in the midst of one of the worst energy crises in history. Both oil and gas prices have spiked because of the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz. UK electricity prices have gone up too. This has led Ember (the same people who came up with Ed Miliband’s promise to cut energy bills by £300) to claim that renewables have cut gas generation compared to March 2021 and saved us £7 million per day. Contracts for Difference (CfDs) work by paying generators the market price for the electricity they produce plus a top up to the contract strike price.

Only after my release from Iran’s notorious Evin prison in 2009 did I begin to learn about the extent of the wide, grassroots support my friend and I received from around the world. At one point, one senior prison official angrily let me know about the huge number of letters of support that were sent to us in prison, though we were never given access to any of them. The number must have been vast, in that it’s believed that the widespread pressure on the Islamic regime was at least in part responsible for our being released from death row,

In an unusually, but inadvertently, honest piece on the Trump Purge of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), which oversees the immigration court system, The New York Times implied that the only way forward with mass deportations was the Stephen Miller-inspired mass public arrests—in the terminology of the immigration law enforcement professional, City Patrol and Area Control, currently called Roving Patrol. More simply, arresting illegal aliens where they appear in public: where day laborers informally congregate, where they operate public businesses like pushcarts, at bus stops,

One of the most persistent and dangerous misreadings of the confrontation with Iran is the stubborn confusion between a brutal ideological regime and the people it has oppressed for nearly five decades. In Western capitals, where moral clarity too often yields to political expediency, this confusion produces a strange paralysis: the fear of "hurting the Iranian people" serves as an excuse to tolerate a regime that has hurt them far more cruelly and systematically than any outside power ever has. In January 2026, the Iranian regime launched one of the deadliest crackdowns in its modern history, with protests met by a "shoot-to-kill" order "by any means necessary,"

Neither far-left late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel nor Stephen Colbert have mentioned the resignation of disgraced Democrat Eric Swalwell in their monologues this week — despite showing big support for him before the congressman’s scandals drove him out of politics. The California Democrat not only resigned his seat in the House on Monday, but he also dropped his bid for California Governor after a growing number of women have come forward to allege that he sexually harassed them — or even sexually assaulted them — throughout his political career.

The White House is working with all relevant agencies to investigate unusual circumstances around several American scientists with knowledge of U.S. secrets – some of whom have either died or gone missing – and “identify any potential commonalities that may exist,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt assured on Friday. Earlier this week, a reporter asked Leavitt about ten American scientists – who reportedly had access to classified nuclear or aerospace material – who have either gone missing or died since 2024. At the time, she said she would look into it, and on Friday, she provided an update, confirming the White House is on it,

This week, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas celebrated America’s 250th anniversary by exposing the greatest threat to the Declaration of Independence today—the ideology of Progressivism. “Progressivism was the first mainstream American political movement—with the possible exception of the pro-slavery reactionaries on the eve of the Civil War—to openly oppose the principles of the declaration,” the justice said in a speech at the University of Texas at Austin Wednesday. “Progressives strove to undo the Declaration’s commitment to equality and natural rights, both of which they denied were self-evident.”

Ten House Republicans joined Democrats on Thursday evening to keep roughly 350,000 Haitian nationals in the United States on Temporary Protected Status (TPS) despite the Trump administration seeking to end the quasi-amnesty. The House passed the measure, led by Reps. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Laura Gillen (D-NY), after advancing the bill through a discharge petition maneuver, with help from half a dozen Republicans. Essentially, the bill would keep about 350,000 Haitians in the U.S. via TPS just as President Donald Trump fights in the Supreme Court to end the quasi-amnesty. The 10 House Republicans who joined Democrats to defy the Trump administration and move the bill to the Senate are:

MINNEAPOLIS — Restaurants across Minneapolis, from longtime neighborhood staples to newer concepts, are facing mounting financial pressure, and for some, the strain has already proven too much. In 2026 alone, well-known establishments like D’Amico and Sons and The Lowry have announced closures after years of serving the community. Industry leaders warn these losses are part of a broader issue. Hospitality Minnesota recently said restaurants statewide are nearing a “breaking point,” pointing to a mix of lingering pandemic recovery challenges, tariffs, immigration enforcement impacts, economic uncertainty, and new state policies such as paid family leave and rising minimum wages.

The gunman accused of shooting eight young children dead in Shreveport, Louisiana on Sunday morning has been identified as Shamar Elkins. Elkins, 31, opened fire at a home in Shreveport during a domestic disturbance, former Caddo Parish Constable Patrick Young told the Daily Mail. The suspect, who was fatally shot by police during a vehicle chase, is accused of killing eight children, with the youngest being just 18 months old, the Shreveport Police Department said. He was believed to be the father of some of the victims, police told KSLA. A total of 10 people were shot, with two women surviving the deadly rampage.

At least eight children — ranging in age from one to 14-years-old — were killed early Sunday in what police describe as a sprawling domestic‑violence shooting that stretched across four separate crime scenes in Shreveport. Shreveport Police Corporal Chris Bordelon told reporters officers were first dispatched just after 6 a.m. to reports of gunfire in the 300 block of West 79th Street, where they located the initial scene. As officers canvassed the area, they discovered additional connected locations, including one on Harrison Street, all tied to the same domestic disturbance. Police said at least 10 people were struck by gunfire, with eight pronounced dead at the scene or shortly afterward.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service has disqualified 1,562 retailers associated with the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and disabled 760 illegal point-of-sale devices since Oct. 1, 2025. This has resulted in the prevention of nearly $835 million in fraudulent SNAP transactions, Stephen Vaden, deputy secretary of the Department of Agriculture (USDA), said in an April 17 post on X. “Commit fraud?

Minnesota GOP Senate candidate Michele Tafoya signaled openness to a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants when pressed on Republican amnesty legislation. During an April 9 appearance on Will Cain’s radio show, the former sports broadcaster was asked where she stood on the DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act — legislation backed by several Republican lawmakers, including Florida Rep. Maria Salazar and New York Rep. Mike Lawler, who insist it is not amnesty. Tafoya responded that parts of a bill could be acceptable, even if she disagrees with others. Tafoya said she would need to see the specifics on the Dignity Act, telling Cain, “A bill can be really good

The government of Volodymyr Zelensky in Ukraine has announced plans to increase migration from Africa amid employment shortfalls in the war torn country. While Ukraine has yet to enter the European Union, Kyiv appears intent on mimicking the globalist economic ethos of Brussels and replacing its fallen men with African migrants. The head of the Office of the President, Kyrylo Budanov, one of Zelensky’s top advisors, said this week that the government will revise its list of “risky” countries to make it easier for companies in Ukraine to hire from African countries, broadcaster TCH reported. Budanov suggested that this would help businesses facing worker shortages

United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA) scored a massive victory this week, finalizing a new contract with the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) that will cost the nearly-insolvent district an additional $1.2 billion a year and increase the union's power going forward by expanding the areas in which the union has bargaining rights (AI, subcontracting). The complete fold by LAUSD isn't so surprising, though, given that the district's Acting Superintendent is the brother-in-law of UTLA Secondary Vice President Alex Orozco and UTLA Director Victoria Casas, a relationship that wasn't disclosed.

A great deal of national news coverage concerning Virginia has focused on the attempt by its new Democratic governor, Abigail Spanberger, and her confederates in the General Assembly to circumvent the commonwealth’s constitution in order to radically gerrymander the state’s congressional district map. This maneuver has, however, overshadowed another of their equally dubious legislative actions. A bill proposing that Virginia join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) passed both houses of the General Assembly in February, and Gov. Spanberger signed it into law on April 13.

Mojtaba Khamenei, the new supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, still hasn’t been seen in public since he was named to his exalted new position. Reuters reported that “three people close to his inner circle” said that the world’s most prominent nepo baby was severely injured in the airstrike that killed his father, suffering disfigurement to his face and reportedly also losing a leg. Nevertheless, in a new message on Telegram Saturday, the younger Khamenei was full of threats and bravado, and ready to give the Great Satan and Little Satan a whipping they won’t soon forget.

They’ve unmasked themselves as lying, bigoted click-whores. Carlson’s career was longer; Owens’ was shorter.

Despite the best efforts of those who would utilize the preposterous climate change scare to control us and depopulate the world, petroleum still rules world economies. About 80% of all world energy is petro based -- it fuels industrial and agricultural production along with transportation. Constricting supplies causes all prices to rise -- the inflationary effects are well-known (except perhaps to the bright thinkers promoting net zero policies which are tanking their economies and immiserating their citizens). For this reason, foreign policy strategists, media pundits, and governments who listened to them for decades avoided attacking Iran, fearing worldwide disruption of a critical supply.
