GERMANY - For the first time since the party entered parliament about nine years ago, the anti-democratic cordon sanitaire around the right-wing, anti-globalist Alternative für Deutschland appears to have cracked wide open. According to the latest INSA/Bild poll, fewer than half of all German voters (just 49%) now say they would “never” vote AfD — down from a staggering 75% only a few years ago. This is nothing short of a historic breakthrough. Despite years of state-funded smear campaigns, constant domestic intelligence surveillance (Verfassungsschutz), court cases, job dismissals, bank account closures, repeated violence against party members by left-globalist extremists, and even serious discussions about banning the party outright, ordinary Germans are finally seeing through the propaganda and recognizing the AfD as the only serious opposition to a failing system.

USA - A bombshell report from the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General (DOJ OIG) revealed in June 2025 that 55 Afghan evacuees who were on the terrorist watchlist either made it to the US or were added to the list after arriving — all during Joe Biden’s chaotic and deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan. The 87-page audit, released in June 2025, provides disturbing confirmation that Biden’s so-called “Operation Allies Welcome” allowed known or suspected terrorists to enter the country through rushed, incomplete vetting processes. The Biden administration’s catastrophic withdrawal didn’t just leave billions in US equipment in Taliban hands — it also airlifted potential jihadists right into the heart of our communities. On Wednesday two National Guard members were shot by an Afghan 'refugee' in Washington DC.

USA - A National Guard member died on Thursday after being shot near the White House in an ambush that investigators say was carried out by an Afghan national, an attack President Donald Trump blamed on Biden-era immigration vetting failures as he ordered a sweeping review of asylum cases. Sarah Beckstrom, 20, died of her wounds and her fellow Guardsman Andrew Wolfe, 24, was "fighting for his life," Trump said, as investigators conducted what officials said was a terrorism probe after Wednesday's shooting. Trump said the alleged gunman was among thousands of Afghans who came in unvetted as the US carried out a chaotic withdrawal in 2021.

USA - The Mamdani transition team has a disproportionate number of Arabs and Muslims on it. For example, the Committee on Arts and Culture includes 5 people from the Muslim world, the Committee on Community Organizing features 6 people from the Muslim world, the Committee on Community Safety has 3, the Committee on Government Operations has 4, the Committee on Immigrant Justice has 8, the Committee on Legal Affairs has 6, and the Committee on Small Businesses has 4. And the transition team includes some of the most extreme figures in New York City politics. Unsurprisingly, for the transition team of a politician whose signature issue was validating Islamic violence and hatred against Jews through moral inversion, Mamdani’s transition team stands out for the sheer number of members who hate Jews. Mamdani raised $4 million to build a team of the same old radicals he already knew, who have nothing but contempt and hatred for America and for New York City, and who plan to destroy it under the guise of implementing policies that they know are unworkable and insane.

FRANCE - A report from France’s domestic intelligence agency has identified Christians as the “prime target” for radical Islamists, who are actively trying to stoke anti-Christian sentiment in the West with “anti-crusader” propaganda. A French-language ISIS magazine, Dar al-Islam, similarly called on followers in 2015 to attack Christian churches to “instil fear in their hearts.” The French report also quoted former ISIS spokesman, Abu Muhammad al-Adnani, as saying: “We will conquer your Rome, break your crosses, and enslave your women… They will sell your sons in the slave market.” Groups like al Qaeda and ISIS frequently brand Christians as followers of a “deviant faith”, “unbelievers”, “idolaters”, or “infidels”, the DGSI said. Such rhetoric has resulted in numerous terror attacks in Europe and the rest of the world on Christians over the past three decades, the report found.

UK - Whatever it might say to the contrary, this is a Government that prioritises welfare – and appeasement of belligerent backbenchers – over enterprise, self-improvement and growth. Rather than getting to grips with runaway social spending, Downing Street has chosen instead to further increase it by abandoning the two-child cap and all meaningful welfare reform. And rather than seeking to incentivise self-improvement, saving, home ownership, business investment and profit – some of the key ingredients of economic growth – it has chosen to tax the economy more in a very probably doomed attempt to pay for the ever-growing welfare bill. In little more than a year, the UK has been spirited away into a high-tax, high-welfare economy. Did anyone vote for this?

UK - A drop in North Sea gas production could pose a critical risk to Britain's supplies over the next decade, according to an annual assessment by the National Energy System Operator (NESO). The report, published on Wednesday, outlined the prospect of a steep decline in gas production linked to Labour's net zero policies, putting the sector at risk of reliance on foreign imports. It warned that the amount of gas produced by the North Sea could decline by over 80% by 2035 compared with today, leaving our energy use at the mercy of supplies from the US, Norway and Qatar. "During periods of peak demand in the 2030s, we expect Great Britain’s import dependency could rise above 90%," the report added.

USA - Donald Trump has condemned the ambush-style shooting of two National Guardsmen in Washington DC by an Afghan migrant as an “act of evil, hatred and terror”. The two soldiers are in a critical condition after being shot at point-blank range in a targeted attack just yards from the White House on Wednesday afternoon. Shortly after the attack, the US announced it was suspending immigration applications for Afghan nationals effective immediately. More than 2,000 troops, including personnel from six Republican-led states, are patrolling Washington. Their presence has become a flashpoint issue for months, triggering a court fight and a broader debate about the use of the military for civilian policing work. Justice department data showed violent crime in 2024 hit a 30-year low in Washington.

ITALY - In Greek and Roman mythology, the Campi Flegrei volcano is depicted as the opening to the underworld. Its prehistoric eruptions blocked out the sun, turning summer into winter and covering Europe and Russia in thick volcanic ash. Now this powerful seismic giant near Naples is stirring again, shaking the ground in a way that scientists say it hasn't for centuries. "Two of the most recent earthquakes are the strongest we've ever seen," said Giovanni Macedonio, the director of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Naples. Earthquakes in March and June this year caused by the Campi Flegrei forced people "to evacuate and there are tens of families that can't return to their homes because of the damage."

UK - The National Trust has been accused of anti-Christian discrimination after banning a Roman Catholic from filming at a religious site. Christian Holden was blocked from filming at St Cuthbert’s Cave in Northumberland last year for a documentary about the 7th-century monk. He was told by executives at the heritage charity that the “religious affiliation” of the film, which centred on the long-distance St Cuthbert’s Way footpath, meant it could not go ahead. The trust has now been accused of religious discrimination by Voice for Justice UK, a Christian campaign group. Voice for Justice UK claimed the charity had discriminated against Mr Holden contrary to the 2010 Equality Act, under which religion is a protected characteristic. “For the National Trust to turn down a request to film a documentary about the life of St Cuthbert on the ground of ‘religious affiliation’ is a rejection and betrayal of the heritage they ostensibly exist to protect.”
