Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Shropshire are among the local authorities urging locals not to attach flags to lampposts or signs without permission. But Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said today that anyone flying an England flag outside their home was “now intimidating migrants, according to our political class”. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp told the Daily Mail: “This is outrageous. Patriotic British citizens should be allowed to display national flags, whether the St George’s Cross, Saltire or Union Jack – at times like these. “Woke councils should stop being ashamed of our national identity and culture, and start celebrating it instead. I’m proud of our national identity.

Hamas is not agreeing to disarm. It is bargaining. The Cairo meetings reportedly focused heavily on what mediators described as the "restriction of weapons" rather than outright disarmament. Some proposals reportedly envision Hamas and other armed groups "depositing" weapons with Palestinian authorities or placing them under international supervision. This brush-off alone should convince Washington that the current strategy of negotiating with Hamas, as with Iran, is failing. The notion that Hamas would voluntarily surrender the means that allow it to dominate the Gaza Strip, intimidate Palestinians, and wage jihad (holy war) against Israel is detached from reality. Hamas did not spend decades building a military infrastructure, digging tunnels,

We're about three weeks away from Virginia's ban on "assault firearms" and "large capacity" magazines taking effect, and gun shops across the Old Dominion are continuing to see booming business as customers look to stock up on the guns and magazines that will have to be pulled from store shelves unless the law is enjoined from being enforced by an injunction. According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, gun sales in Virginia last month were about double what they were in May, 2025. That's right in line with what Steve's Archery and Guns owner Steve Rodgers has been seeing at his shop in Shenandoah.

“The Men Who Fear Women.” That’s the title of Helen Lewis’s latest cover story for The Atlantic. It’s currently making a big splash as she travels the podcast and interview circuit—PBS, The New York Times, NPR—explaining what she calls “masculinism,” a movement that apparently wants to put women back in the kitchen where they belong, having stripped them of all their political rights. Sounds scary, huh? As the title suggests, though, it isn’t the women who are scared (although perhaps they should be)—it’s the men. You may remember Helen Lewis from her car-crash interview with Jordan Peterson for GQ, way back in 2018.

A few days ago, the ‘coalition of the willing’ (Starmer, Merz, Macron and Zelenskyy) met in London to hammer out the latest words on paper, a new military pledge to support Ukraine against Russia. Both British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and King Charles III agreed to a renewed military effort that included British armed forces securing Ukraine territory according to their plan. Three days later, British Defense Minister John Healey resigns, citing insufficient funding of military. Seriously folks, you cannot make this up. This comes on the heels of the U.K. borrowing ships from Germany in order to participate in NATO exercises led by the U.K.

The controversial Muslim activist Linda Sarsour helped Dr. Adam Hamawy, an Egyptian-American veteran of the U.S. Army who has been linked to the Blind Sheikh and to an Al-Qaeda front, win the Democratic nomination for a House seat in New Jersey. Hamawy — largely a political newcomer who nevertheless won his Democratic primary race in early June — successfully ran a far-left campaign with a keen focus on opposition to Israel. “WE DID THAT. Congratulations Dr. Adam H. Hamawy!” Sarsour posted on June 2, sharing a photo of herself and Hamawy smiling together.
