USA - The Trump administration on Thursday night strongly criticized French President Emmanuel Macron’s pledge to recognize the State of Palestine during the upcoming UN General Assembly meeting in September. Macron’s announcement could push other European countries, including the UK, to take a similar step in the coming weeks. The Trump administration is opposed to any country or international organization recognizing a Palestinian state. Macron’s announcement comes amid growing concern in Europe about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The French move and its aftermath could further isolate Israel internationally over the war in Gaza and the occupation of the West Bank.

USA - American banks are using special government programs to help foreign nationals afford homes in the United States. Tucker Carlson “I'm trying not to use the F word. Why would we be helping foreign nationals buy in places where there's a housing crisis and the people who are born there can't find a house to live in? And what is going on?”

GERMANY - The alpha male may be more of a myth than reality, as researchers have found that among many species, he is not the one in charge. A recent study has revealed that female primates won far more power struggles than expected, and in most species, there is no clear male dominance at all. Researchers from Germany studied real fights between 151 groups of male and female primates, who are among the most intelligent group of mammals, and include humans, monkeys, and apes. They found that in the majority of cases, females pushed males aside, and even controlled the mating process, challenging the long-standing belief that male dominance is the norm. In fact, the study authors said the idea that males are naturally dominant was based more on cultural bias than biology. Their research found female power is not rare or an accident, it is part of a broader evolutionary pattern seen across primate societies.

USA - Why does everything that happens in Washington have to be so complicated? If our leaders want to discover the truth about Jeffrey Epstein, they should just follow the money. If you follow the money, that will lead to the victims. If you talk to the victims, that will lead you to the perpetrators. It really is that simple. According to US Senator Ron Wyden, a file on Epstein exists that details “4,725 wire transfers and almost $1.1 billion flowing through just one of his banks”…

NASA - An asteroid the size of the Leaning Tower of Pisa has been spotted just days before it screams past Earth in the latest near-miss astronomers have tracked. NASA has announced that asteroid 2025 OW is expected to pass within 393,000 miles of Earth on Monday, July 28. The space rock has been measured to be approximately 210 feet long, making it comparable to a 15-storey building or a large airplane. Its projected distance of 393,000 miles would put it just beyond the moon, which orbits Earth 239,000 miles away.

UK - It is reliable, safe, and while it is not one hundred per cent carbon-free once you factor in the impact of mining for all the minerals, it is about as green as you can possibly get. There are plenty of strong arguments for increasing Britain’s supply of nuclear energy, and the Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has made the right decision today in approving the Sizewell C power station. There is just one catch. The cost has doubled over the last five years, and will double again before its reactors are switched on. In reality, Miliband and the Green Commissars around him are allowing red tape and bureaucracy to drive the cost of the green transition to astronomical levels – and that will destroy the whole project.

UK - Police will be dragged away from neighbourhood duties to keep the peace at protests over migrants amid mounting fears of a summer of unrest, the organisation representing rank-and-file officers has warned. After days of protests against mass migration outside asylum hotels, with more planned in the coming weeks, there are fears the UK could be heading for another summer of violent disorder. Writing for The Telegraph, Tiff Lynch, the head of the Police Federation, which represents rank-and-file officers, said officers were being “pulled in every direction” and commanders were “forced to choose between keeping the peace at home or plugging national gaps”. Unrest in Epping, Essex, was a “signal flare” for more to come, Ms Lynch said.

UK - I was at the Epping protest that descended into a riot - false claims are being made about who started it. Nigel Farage is wrong. This was a highly politicised episode and Mr Farage is a politician. He should be free to pass judgment on it. What should be a source of shame for Mr Farage is not his attempt to cash-in on the Epping riots, but rather that he’s got his facts wrong. Badly. Specifically, his claim that left-wing anti-racism activists and Essex Police were responsible for the disgusting violence seen around the Bell Hotel on July 17. I know he's wrong, because I was there.

UK - Yvette Cooper must act. There's one thing that we locals, politicians and councillors agree upon. We have seen deeply troubling events in Epping in recent days and weeks. Epping is a wonderful small town with a warm, caring and compassionate community that I feel blessed to be a part of. It has changed a little bit over the years. As a young veterinary student, I did my dairy farm work experience at a busy cattle farm on the edge of my home town of Epping, just a few hundred yards from the Bell Hotel, which used to be a hotel where families could come and stay and enjoy our wonderful town.

UK - Keir Starmer has been warned that Britain faces a “summer of riots” as protests over migrant hotels are spreading. And if that happens, Starmer and his Government will have only itself to blame. Because what’s happened at Epping in recent days – terrified parents protesting at a hotel in the town being taken over by young migrant men, one of whom it's alleged committed THREE sexual offences within a week of arriving in Britain – is what happens when a government ignores people’s perfectly rational fears about illegal and uncontrolled immigration. Britain currently feels like a tinderbox that’s set to explode. But the fact is, people are sick of uncontrolled migration. They’re sick of having to fork out money to put up the world’s poorest in four-star hotels and private apartments – while indigenous people here struggle.

GERMANY - The pretext for the raid was entirely rumor-based and driven by an organization funded by USAID, aligning it with foreign interests. Allegations against Bystron have already prompted a jaw-dropping 21 previous searches, none of which have yielded incriminating evidence. The raid conveniently occurred while Bystron was in Washington, DC, meeting with senior Republican representatives in the US Senate and Congress. “This is targeted terror against the opposition. There’s no other way to interpret the authorities’ absurd actions. As an opposition politician, I am apparently expected to abandon my resistance against deeply entrenched systemic corruption,” Bystron stated. He further explained, “Every single one of these 22 searches was illegal. Each one marks a step away from a democratic constitutional state and toward an authoritarian regime that seeks to silence dissent by any means necessary.”

RUSSIA - Russia bans international Satanism Movement, in defense of traditional spiritual and moral values. The vilification of Russia and the demonization of President Vladimir Putin is a full-time job by the Western media, neocons, and Globalists of all stripes. But despite any geopolitical considerations, Putin’s work to protect religious and family values is impossible to deny. Moscow has outlawed LGBT propaganda and practices in the country, as well as ‘gender reassignment’ surgeries and therapies – but Putin made sure to clarify that homosexual relations between consenting adults are not forbidden.

EUROPE - On July 17, Germany and the United Kingdom signed a historic defense agreement in London, known as a “friendship treaty.” This marks a fundamental shift in European security policy in the post-Brexit era. For the first time since World War II, these two countries have forged a direct bilateral defense pact, building on a 2024 partnership designed to counter Russia’s growing threat. This agreement also signals a renewed alignment of Europe’s core trio, Germany, France, and the UK, originally formed to address Iran’s nuclear ambitions but now expanding its reach into foreign policy, security, economic cooperation, and civil society.

UK - Sunday saw another night of protests outside the Bell Hotel in Epping. Essex police were eager to clamp down on the subsequent demonstrations, arresting a total of six people and describing the atmosphere as “angry and violent”. Locals had for years expressed frustration at the area being used to house asylum seekers, a feeling which overflowed last week. This is not the first time protesters have clashed with police over the Government’s decision to place those who cross the Channel in hotels. But the events of the past week should suggest to us that these disturbances will become more common. Epping is not like the largely Northern, post-industrial towns which protested last summer after the Southport attack. It is a leafy area, where you need a middle-class income to afford a mortgage.

UK - Britain is increasingly living like a junkie, struggling just to cover the interest on his tick. Debt is our drug, and the dealers want paying. Figures released on Tuesday by the Office for National Statistics show we borrowed nearly £21 billion in June alone. That’s despite tax revenues rising by almost £6 billion compared with the same month last year – thanks to fiscal drag boosting income tax by £1 billion, and the Chancellor’s National Insurance raid adding over £3 billion more. The habit is proving impossible to kick. State spending has ballooned, and the cost of servicing our debt addiction has soared. In June, debt interest hit £16.4 billion, nearly double what it was a year ago and the second-highest monthly bill on record. We now spend more feeding our debt in a single month than we do policing our borders in an entire year.
