It has been a sorry though predictable exercise. When he lived up (or down) to expectations of atrocious conduct befitting the proud bigot that he is, Israel's Minister for National Security had to be seen as aberrant, the man who strayed, if only slightly. The conduct in question involved Itamar Ben-Gvir's posting of footage on social media mocking the fate of activists of the Global Sumud Flotilla who had made a failed humanitarian effort to break the blockade of Gaza. The activists, seized in international waters by Israeli forces off the coast of Cyprus, had been blindfolded, their hands bound, and forced to kneel on the floor at the Port of Ashdod.

The caption of the posted video featured the warming caption "Welcome to Israel." Ben-Gvir can be seen waving an Israeli flag, taunting the detainees with bellowing remarks. One bound man can be seen having to hear the words "The people of Israel live" shouted in his face.

Comment: Ben-Gvir's psychopathic behavior isn't an anomaly - its Israeli policy. What would really be impressive is if the leaders who expressed outrage at this latest incident (one of a very long list of horrible incidents), actually put some bite into their bark.

German taxpayers not only paid over €40 billion, but also face higher housing costs, more road traffic, crowded hospitals, growing insecurity, higher insurance premiums, and a host of other ills not officially tracked in this figure.

Migrants cost German taxpayers — just at the federal level — €24.8 billion in 2025, according to new data in the "refugee costs report" from the German Federal Ministry of Finance. However, the true sum is much higher.

The €24.8 billion is strictly the federal bill. The actual, combined national cost of migration for Germany is that €24.8 billion plus the massive, separate billions that the individual states and municipalities had to pull from their own local tax revenues to cover their own deficits brought on by mass immigration.

The Replacements: How US helps foreign workers take American jobs

Mary, a veteran Silicon Valley marketer who can't find a job, considers herself a victim of an H-1B visa program run amok.

Her story, a U.S. native replaced by a foreign-born employee who is willing to work at a significantly lower wage, has become commonplace, particularly in the tech industry. Adding insult to injury, she says, her CEO, who hails from India, told her to train the man he selected to replace her before laying her off.

Despite stints at Google and Cisco and two years of job hunting, Mary can no longer compete in a job market saturated with foreign-born H-1B visa holders. "I had experience. I should have walked right into these corporate jobs, but I didn't. Why? Because Silicon Valley is flooded with people who work for two-thirds of the price, or even half price," said Mary, who asked to be identified only by her first name.

Trump administration to force foreigners in the US to apply for a green card abroad

Foreigners in the U.S. who want a green card will need to leave and apply in their home country, the Trump administration announced Friday, in a surprise change to a longstanding policy that sowed confusion and concern among aid groups, immigration lawyers and immigrants.

For over half a century, foreign nationals with legal status have been able to apply for and complete the entire process for permanent residence in the United States — including individuals married to U.S. citizens, holders of work and student visas, and refugees and political asylum seekers, among others.

The announcement from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said foreigners who are in the U.S. temporarily and who want to apply to become lawful permanent residents, or green card holders, have to return home and apply there, except in "extraordinary circumstances." USCIS officers would decide whether applicants meet those.

The agency said in a statement:
Nonimmigrants, like students, temporary workers, or people on tourist visas, come to the U.S. for a short time and for a specific purpose. Our system is designed for them to leave when their visit is over. Their visit should not function as the first step in the Green Card process.

The Coup Abides

"Leftists can't name & blame specific individuals for the 2024 loss because they're an undifferentiated blob who function unconsciously according to enmeshed group think."
— Aimee Therese on X
In all the chatter about the Democratic Party's 2024 election "autopsy" report you might have missed one little important detail: autopsies are generally performed on the dead. Stephen Colbert's final week on CBS's Late Night Show was the funeral. It was like the zombies' ball. Poster-boy old Bruce Springsteen plugged a self-parody song about "King Trump" that might have been a rare case of career suicide on live TV.

Kings, indeed. These showbiz cretins actually have it better than kings — they have all the money, glitz, and adoration, but none of the onerous duties of real royalty. They amount to a weird court of effete elitists endlessly congratulating each other on their moral superiority, and that's where it begins and ends: a Cluster-B hall of mirrors.

Of the common good, they know absolutely nothing. Nobody believes their tired buzzwords anymore: "Our democracy" . . . "conspiracy theories" . . . "baseless" this and that. . . their foolish vaccine worship. . . their avatars, the guffawing baboon Kamala Harris, the erstwhile phantom "Joe Biden," and, most of all, their good sportsmanship trophy, Barack Obama, last seen confabbing with Canada's Mark Carney, Globalism's paladin of the last resort.

UK police log one-year-old baby as crime suspect; hundreds of kids flagged for offences

A one-year-old baby girl has been officially recorded as a crime suspect by Kent Police after allegedly causing a minor injury to another toddler. This is part of a shocking tally where 683 children under 10 were reported for offences over three years.

This isn't some isolated bureaucratic error. It's the latest symptom of a system that treats tiny children as miniature criminals or budding bigots while real threats from failed integration and ideological grooming go unaddressed.

None of these under-10s can be prosecuted - the age of criminal responsibility in England and Wales is 10 - yet police are dutifully logging every playground scrape, tantrum, or alleged slight under ridiculous Home Office rules.

How Hollywood spawned the ban on DIY repair

Today's bans on DIY repairs of everything from cell phones to tractors grew out of Hollywood's fear of videotaping

If you have ever tried to repair something, realized that it was beyond your financial or technical means, and ended up buying a new one, you are not alone. Repairing electronics and household appliances has not been a real option in the United States for decades now, particularly for items that have proprietary software in them.

Absurd situations have proliferated. It can cost about the same to buy a new printer as it does to replace the ink cartridge. The U.S. Department of Defense cannot repair the weapons systems it purchases because the intellectual property rights remain with the manufacturer. John Deere, the farming equipment company, doesn't allow farmers to access the software needed to repair their own combines and tractors because, while the purchase covers the physical machinery, it does not cover the software.

Comment: The issue has been simmering for a while now:

A Fox News guest has sparked a social media frenzy with wild speculation that he went on live TV wearing a prosthetic mask.

Retired Navy Vice Adm. Robert Harward made a brief appearance on the "America's Newsroom" program on Tuesday to discuss the ongoing war with Iran with Fox hosts Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino.

In the days since, his TV spot has exploded online — but not for his actual remarks about the conflict.

Instead, bizarre conspiracy theories have been popping up claiming Harward, who was once tapped to be President Trump's National Security Adviser, had donned a mask for the interview.

Viewers pointed specifically to a dark mark that could be seen near the bottom of his neck as supposed proof of a cover-up.

Toxic chemicals rain from sky as terrifying leak at Garden Grove plant forces evacuations

A leak of toxic chemicals from a massive tank at a Garden Grove aerospace facility forced evacuations to be reissued on Friday, a day after residents were first ordered out of the area.

Firefighters on Thursday afternoon responded to a vapor release from a 34,000-gallon tank containing methyl methacrylate at the site on the 12100 block of Western Avenue, according to the Orange County Fire Authority.

The industrial chemical is used in plastics and manufacturing, officials said. The leak occurred at the GKN Aerospace plant, KABC reported.

The tank's temperature had increased, activating a relief valve designed to safely release vapors, according to OCFA.

An overhead sprinkler system was activated to cool the tank, and vapor conditions improved as the liquid's temperature decreased, officials said.

Musk offers to fund lawsuit against UK police in Henry Nowak stabbing tragedy

Elon Musk has stepped forward to hold UK police accountable in what appears to be one of the most disturbing policing failures to emerge from Britain in years.

The tech mogul publicly offered to bankroll a wrongful death lawsuit against officers who allegedly prioritized an attacker's claims of "racism" over saving the life of 18-year-old Henry Nowak.

Musk's intervention comes as harrowing bodycam footage from the scene plays out in Southampton Crown Court during the ongoing murder trial of Vickrum Singh Digwa, the 23-year-old man of Indian Sikh heritage accused of stabbing Nowak four times with a 21cm blade.

Comment: From Hungarian Conservative:
The case triggered immediate backlash on British social media, particularly among right-wing anti-immigration commentators and supporters of Reform UK, over what critics described as 'two-tier policing' in Britain.

Much of the outrage centred on the decision to handcuff a visibly bleeding white British teenager while, according to critics, immediately accepting claims of racial abuse made by the alleged attacker, who is reportedly from a Sikh immigrant background and was allegedly wearing a turban at the time.

Nowak's death also reignited criticism of Britain's legal exemptions allowing Sikhs to carry ceremonial blades in public for religious reasons. However, according to the prosecution, Digwa's weapon exceeded what would normally qualify as a protected ceremonial item under the relevant legal framework.

The trial has generated further controversy because prosecutors also accuse the suspect's mother, Kiran Kaur, of assisting Digwa by allegedly removing the knife from the scene and taking it back to the family home after the stabbing. She denies the charge.

British police have not publicly provided a detailed explanation regarding the allegations surrounding officers' actions at the scene, and there is currently no indication that any officer involved faces criminal charges or disciplinary consequences.
