Erika Kirk tormented by vile trolls since Charlie's assassination
The cruelty that has been heaped on Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika, since his assassination three months ago has been unrelenting.
First it was leftist ghouls cheering on his cold-blooded murder, in front of a crowd of 3,000 people at the first stop of his Turning Point USA “American Comeback Tour” outdoors on the campus of Utah Valley University on Sept. 10.
The ghouls gloried in the death of the young father of two, mimicked the instant the bullet hit his throat, created T-shirts with his image and gushes of blood to celebrate the moment his voice was silenced.
It could not have been a more public execution.

Chancellor Merz quietly filed hundreds of complaints over online insults
Exclusive files reveal that Friedrich Merz pursued an extraordinary volume of defamation cases, triggering police house searches and raising concerns about free speech in Germany
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has been among the most legally aggressive politicians in modern German history when confronted with personal criticism, having filed hundreds of criminal complaints for defamation and insult, according to files obtained by Welt am Sonntag.
Some of these complaints – including online comments calling him a “little Nazi” or a “filthy drunk” – even resulted in police house searches for German citizens investigated under the draconian defamation law, for which the offense of insulting politicians was added back in 2021.
The documents include criminal complaints, investigation files, and correspondence from the law firm Brockmeier, Faulhaber, Rudolph, which represented Merz in the cases.
Merz’s parliamentary office confirmed the broad outlines of these activities, noting that he pursued criminal proceedings during the previous legislative period and donated all damages and fines “to social causes in the Hochsauerland district.”

Think tanker altered Ukraine war map before big Polymarket payout
The Institute for the Study of War disavowed the edit, removed the employee, but is staying quiet, raising questions about the credibility of ISW and prediction gambling
On November 15, as Russian forces were advancing on the outskirts of the town of Myrnohrad in eastern Ukraine, retail investors placed risky bets in real time on the battle using Polymarket, a gambling platform that allows users to bet on predictive markets surrounding world events.
If Russia took the city by nightfall — an event that seemed exceedingly unlikely to most observers — a handful of retail investors stood to earn a profit of as much as 33,000% on the battle from the comfort of their homes.
When nightfall came, these longshot gamblers miraculously won big, though not because Russia took the town (as of writing, Ukraine is still fighting for Myrnohrad).
Instead, it was because of an apparent intervention by a staffer at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a D.C.-based think tank that produces daily interactive maps of the conflict in Ukraine that Polymarket often relies on to determine the outcome of bets placed on the war.
According to tech outlet 404 Media, just before the market was resolved, someone at ISW edited its map to show that Russia had taken control of a key intersection in the town, despite the lack of indications that Russia had made any such advance.
After Polymarket had paid out the winners of the bet, ISW’s edit mysteriously disappeared by the following morning.

Afghan rapists’ own defence lawyer calls evidence horrific
The conviction of two Afghan ‘small boat’ asylum seekers for orally raping a teenage girl was bad enough—but those close to the case fear matters could get much worse.
Unusually given their purported age, Judge Sylvia De Bertodano lifted reporting restrictions and allowed the naming of Jan Jahanzeb and Israr Niazal—who both claim to be about 17, but threw away their documents before arriving on UK shores illegally—in the public interest.
Jahanzeb has had a deportation application submitted for when his criminal sentence ends, while Niazal, allegedly 16 at the time the rape was committed in May 2025, cannot be automatically deported—although the Secretary of State may yet intervene here.
The judge also argued that the pair “betrayed” those who come to Britain for sanctuary and obey the law, perhaps overlooking widespread arrivals using illegal means.
It is striking that even a lawyer defending one of the migrants described as ‘horrific’ the phone camera footage captured by the teenage victim as she was raped by the Afghans, predicting it would spark ‘disorder’ if it was released.

People in prison face punishment for showering: California fixes limits for water use
Incarcerated Californians are bearing the brunt of the climate crisis — and the state’s water restrictions.
As droughts, extreme heat, and other climate disasters increasingly plague California, people throughout the state have been subject to water restrictions. For many Californians, this means emergency regulations like limitations on lawn watering. But one group of people has been forced to bear the brunt of the state’s water restrictions: those in prison.
This climate-related suffering is amplified by overcrowding, a longstanding problem in California prisons. San Quentin Rehabilitation Center, for instance, which opened in 1852 with 68 occupants, grew dangerously overcrowded within six years: By 1858, it housed over 500 people in just 62 cells. San Quentin is now home to almost 4,000 people.
In 2006, California’s prison population hit a peak of 174,000 — 200 percent of the system’s design capacity of 85,000 people — exceeding all other states’ prison populations and prompting Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to declare a state of emergency.
Stripping people — especially the most vulnerable populations behind bars — of their human right to water is never the answer. We shouldn’t wait for another disaster to fix what needs to be fixed today. Conservation is necessary, but placing the burden on dangerous and disease-ridden overcrowded prisons is cruel and unfeasible.

NYC’s socialist mayor-elect Mamdani posts video coaching illegals on how to evade ICE
New York City’s incoming mayor, democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, released a video on X Sunday morning offering step-by-step advice to illegal immigrants on thwarting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
Standing in front of a flip chart labeled “Know your rights,” Mamdani positioned himself as the defender of NYC’s “more than 3 million immigrants,” vowing to protect them from federal raids amid President Trump’s aggressive deportation agenda.
The video comes on the heels of a disrupted ICE raid in Chinatown last weekend, where nearly 200 protesters blocked agents from leaving a parking garage.
“Last weekend, ICE attempted to raid Canal Street and detain our immigrant neighbors,” Mamdani said in the video posted to X on Sunday. “As mayor, I’ll protect the rights of every single New Yorker. And that includes the more than 3 million immigrants who call this city their home.”
Mamdani continued, “But we can all stand up to ICE if you know your rights.”

Big Europe has lost the war over Ukraine
Much remains uncertain about the final outcome of the war in Ukraine. On the diplomatic battlefield, competing peace plans (28 points? 19 points? Crimea in? Crimea out?) have been flying backwards and forwards between capitals.
Meanwhile in the real warzone, the Russian military continues to rain down military drones and missiles on Ukrainian cities, and the bodies continue to pile up on both sides in fierce street fighting, with no end in sight.
One indirect result of this bloody conflict, however, should already be clear enough. The leaders of the European Union and their UK allies—which we might collectively call Big Europe—have lost the political war over Ukraine.
The EU’s claim to be a major global power player in the modern world have been thoroughly exposed as the fantasies of an ageing pretender.
Not for the first time, President Donald has been the breaker of Europe’s globalist dreams. The U.S. president sprang his proposed peace deal with Russia on his European allies, almost without warning.
When a U.S. delegation met with Ukrainians in Geneva, European officials were left in the background of the photo-ops, if not outside in the corridor.
The EU still cannot even agree what to do with the confiscated Russian assets to which Ukraine wants access. When we turn from matters of accountancy to military action, Big Europe’s real impotence is demonstrated by the farce of the ‘Coalition of the Willing.’

Charlie Kirk’s murder made students shy away from controversy public events
Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, half of the nation’s college students report feeling less comfortable attending controversial public events on campus and nearly half are less comfortable voicing opinions on controversial subjects in class.
Chief Research Advisor Dr. Sean Stevens at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression told The Center Square that Charlie Kirk’s September assassination at Utah Valley University “has had a chilling effect — not just at UVU, but across the country.”
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) surveyed 2,028 undergraduates nationwide – including an “oversample” of 204 students from Utah Valley University – in order to “understand how the assassination is shaping student attitudes and behavior.”
Stevens told The Center Square that “some of the data from Utah Valley University students are encouraging – revealing signs of increased tolerance, and even relative trust in administrative protections for free speech.”

Why adoption in America is declining?
Adoption in the United States is declining. International adoptions have plummeted from a high of nearly 23,000 in 2004 to under 1,300 in 2023.
Some of this is due to policy changes curtailing adoption from countries that once made up most foreign adoptees, but the shift doesn’t end there. Domestic U.S. adoptions from foster care have fallen as well and are now at their lowest level since 2003.
This is not because the need has disappeared. There are 117,000 children in the U.S. foster care system waiting to be adopted. Globally, the number of waiting children is estimated in the tens of millions – including from the countries from which American families can still adopt.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans desperately want to be parents. Nearly 1 in 5 married women aged 15-49 have experienced infertility, and demand for IVF and surrogacy is soaring.
An astonishing 10% of American women of child-bearing age have undergone some kind of fertility treatment, guided by doctors who focus almost exclusively on medical interventions, rarely discussing adoption at all.
There are so many children who need families—and families who need children—yet adoption remains an afterthought. Eighty-six percent of Americans say they have a positive view of adoption.
Almost 40% say they’ve considered it. But fewer than 1% have adopted. As sociologist Allen Fisher writes, “adoption is a possibility that is often considered, but seldom chosen”.

Democrats have destroyed equality under law
I did not think it would be possible for New York Attorney General, Leticia James, and former FBI Director, James Comey, to be prosecuted. And I was correct that Democrats would protect their agents who tried to destroy President Trump.
What is going on here? Did the prosecutor intentionally present a bad case? I remember AG Bondi saying that the Justice Department was staffed with Democrats. Are jurors in New York too fearful to indict Democrats? Do they fear threats and harassment by thugs?
Remember, the charge against Leticia James is that she committed mortgage fraud– the same charge on which she attempted to frame President Trump. In Trump’s case, there was no evidence of fraud. It was only Leticia James’ assertion. In the case of the indictment of Letitia James, the evidence is completely clear.
She lied on her mortgage application that her rental property in Virginia was her place of residence. It was completely clear that she lied about her residence in order to save thousands of dollars in mortgage costs.
Now ask yourself what is the importance to the facts in the case of a prosecutor being dismissed by a federal Democrat judge as improperly appointed? Does it invalidate the evidence? If not, why is the indictment invalidated?
More importantly, why does a Democrat judge want a New York Attorney General who has committed a criminal act to remain NY attorney general?

US issues new self-defense deadline for NATO's European members
European members of NATO have been warned by Washington that they must assume greater responsibility for the alliance's intelligence operations and missile production - which will require significantly more defense spending by 2027, Reuters has reported.
Reuters in its exclusive report said that the United States "wants Europe to take over the majority of NATO's conventional defense capabilities, from intelligence to missiles, by 2027, Pentagon officials told diplomats in Washington this week, a tight deadline that struck some European officials as unrealistic."
The directive was coupled with a warning behind the scenes, reportedly involving Pentagon officials cautioning representatives from several European nations that the US may scale back its role in certain NATO defense efforts if this target and deadline is not met.

Oops! Prestigious science journal retracts climate study. It predicted imminent economic catastrophe
Hoo boy. Sometimes, you might do something so embarrassing, so humiliating, that you want to hide in the closet. The prestigious science journal Nature may be thinking about doing that right about now, because on Wednesday, they officially retracted an influential 2024 climate report that predicted gloom and doom, death and misery, and impending economic catastrophe.
As is the case with so much of the leftist climate narrative, their wild claims were quite simply unproven: In April 2024, the prestigious journal Nature released a study finding that climate change would cause far more economic damage by the end of the century than previous estimates had suggested. The conclusion grabbed headlines and citations around the world, and was incorporated in risk management scenarios used by central banks.

U.S. Congress wants to stop troop withdrawal from Europe
The final version of this year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which sets Defense Department policy priorities for the next year, would place obstacles to any effort to reduce the U.S. troop presence in Europe.
Released Sunday, the package, a compromise between the previous House and Senate NDAA versions, would prevent the Pentagon from having fewer than 76,000 troops in Europe for longer than 45 days.
After that period of time the secretary of defense and U.S. European Command leadership would have to show Congress that they have consulted NATO allies and their decision aligns with U.S. national security interests.
The measure stands in contrast with the Trump administration’s recently released National Security Strategy, which instead encourages Europeans to take responsibility for their defense needs, and follows lawmaker concerns that the Trump administration’s push to remove U.S. troops from Romania, could invite attack from Russia.
Mark Episkopos, research fellow in the Quincy Institute's Eurasia Program, told RS the measure obstructs ongoing U.S. efforts to change its relationship with Europe.
“The very appearance of a lack of disunity in Washington over the necessity of Europe taking charge of its own defense is a moral hazard insofar as it incentivizes Europe to play for time rather than working with the administration to come up with a strategy for real burden sharing,” he said.
“The White House should make clear to Europe that retrenchment is a fixed strategic direction that will be reflected on all levels of U.S. policy going forward."

AfD visits U.S. to strengthen ties with Trump
Germany’s national conservative Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) is reinforcing its transatlantic connections, sending a 20-member delegation to the United States to strengthen relations with President Donald Trump’s Republican Party.
The official reason for the visit is deputy parliamentary group leader Markus Frohnmaier receiving the “Allen W. Dulles Award” from the New York Young Republican Club for “the courageous work that the AfD does in the particularly repressive and hostile political environment of Germany.” Six members from Saxony-Anhalt are also part of the delegation, exploring bureaucracy reduction and NGO financing.
AfD deputy leader Beatrix von Storch emphasized that the AfD’s positions on migration, free speech, and governance align closely with those of the U.S. Republican Party, highlighting opportunities for cooperation. Frohnmaier added that they will also talk about “the firewall and the observation of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution.”
At the same time, recent polls show the AfD consolidating its popularity at home. According to an INSA survey from October, the party hit 27%, its highest ranking ever, with senior figures boasting that it is “heading towards 30% in big strides.”
AfD co-leader Alice Weidel added that “there’s even more to come.”

European justice ministers should make deporting illegals easier
European leaders voice alarm that White House language now echoes Kremlin rhetoric, warning it could undermine NATO unity and weaken the West’s position on Ukraine.
European states, including the United Kingdom, have agreed to negotiate a new approach to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) to make it easier to deport illegal migrants.
The decision follows a meeting of justice ministers in Strasbourg, where several countries called for modernising the treaty to address current migration challenges. The 46 nations party to the ECHR will now work toward adopting a “political declaration” at a summit scheduled for next May.
The move comes amid political pressure inside the Westminster parliament from the Conservatives and Reform UK, who have repeatedly called for stronger measures on illegal migration by advocating for Britain’s withdrawal from the treaty.
The situation is particularly alarming in the UK, where more than 53,000 illegal migrants are reportedly at large. Government sources have admitted that they cannot account for the whereabouts of these individuals, exposing the failure of the current system.

Citizens are fed up with Dem-supported migrants
It is hard now even for Democrats to defend illegal immigration, given that the Biden administration allowed in more than 10 million entrants. Among them were an estimated 500,000 criminals. No one believes that was wise or should ever be repeated.
Indeed, between 2021 and 2025, in one of the most bizarre episodes in US immigration history, the border simply disappeared. There were to be no background checks, no health audits and no identification of the greatest influx in any four-year period in US history.
The result, however, of such a massive nullification of immigration laws has been that the nation’s outrage over illegal immigration has now extended to legal immigration as well. At the current level of frustration, all legal immigration will likely soon be put on hold. Why?
One, we are currently in a great experiment: Never has the US foreign-born resident population approached 50-55 million or 16% of the population.
Two, never has the once-time-tried melting-pot creed of assimilation, integration and acculturation been under greater assault and ridicule — just when it is most needed.
Three, if millions of legal immigrants are not asked to assume fully American identities, and further, if they feel that there are exemptions and largesse to be had by emphasizing their tribal and victimized status, then will they also feel they are not subject to any American customs and laws?

Allied military support for Ukraine marked the lowest level since 2022
Europe’s military assistance to Ukraine is losing momentum, with new allocations in 2025 on track to fall to their lowest level since Russia’s full-scale invasion began in 2022. That is according to the Kiel Institute’s latest Ukraine Support Tracker.
Despite a strong start to the year, European commitments slowed sharply over the summer and continued to decline through September and October, leaving a widening shortfall as US support remains frozen, the data show.
Europe has allocated about €4.2 billion in new military aid to Ukraine so far in 2025, far below what would be required to compensate for the absence of fresh US assistance. In previous years, global military aid from Europe, the US and other partners averaged around €41.6 billion annually. Yet by October 2025, only €32.5 billion had been committed worldwide.
Europe’s low support for Ukraine adds to the difficulties the country is facing at the front, with record numbers of deserters and very limited but constant Russian gains, keeping the pressure high on Kyiv.

German woman stabbed to death by Turkish
A 49-year-old Turkish man allegedly fatally stabbed his 45-year-old German ex-wife in Ingolstadt, according to police reports. The woman succumbed to her injutries after being taken to hospital.
Police reported that the couple’s two sons, aged 23 and 17, tried to intervene, in an attempt to protect their mother. The suspect was seriously injured and was taken to the hospital, with an arrest warrant having been issued against him.
The couple had separated in 2024, and the man had previously threatened and injured his ex-wife. A restraining order had been issued against him, but he disregarded it. He had also received a suspended sentence for threatening her and for minor assault.
Following the publication of initial reports by Donaukurier, Ingolstadt integration officer Ingrid Gumplinger and Equal Opportunities Officer Barbara Deimel criticized the mention of the suspect’s nationality, stating it risked stigmatizing an entire community. Overall, non-German suspects now account for over 40% of all reported criminal cases.
Data from the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) show that foreign nationals—particularly Syrians and Afghans—are disproportionately represented among suspects across a wide range of offenses. Over the past decade, the share of foreign convicts has steadily increased and now exceeds one-third of all convictions.

Climate change is over? Why is the left so quiet?
One propagandist tactic used by the left after mass shootings, particularly when the shooter is not part of a protected class, is to focus on “gun violence” while advocating for gun control and confiscation.
The left uses the exact same tactic after every major weather event. It blames a destructive hurricane or the flood on “climate change,” and just like it does with gun control, it lobbies to take away more of your freedoms.
The one thing the left never does is amplify good news about issues like “climate change” when it exists, because doing so would undermine their real campaign: taking away your human and Constitutional rights.
But with no major hurricane making landfall in the U.S., do you know that that means, kids? It means “climate change” is over! We fixed it!

ADP: U.S. private sector sheds 32,000 jobs in unexpected decline
New data from payroll firm ADP shows that American private sector employers shed 32,000 jobs in November. While the job losses are concerning on their own, the data is especially worrying as forecasts had projected a rise in employment numbers for the month, some going as high as 40,000 jobs added.
ADP chief economist Nela Richardson commented on the situation, stating, “Hiring has been choppy of late as employers weather cautious consumers and an uncertain macroeconomic environment.” Small businesses with fewer than 50 employees were responsible for most of the losses, shedding 120,000 jobs during the month.
The professional and business services industry led the job cuts, eliminating 26,000 positions, while the leisure and hospitality sector added 13,000 jobs in preparation for the holiday season.

Will new blue state governors limit access to ivermectin?
During the pandemic, states – particularly states with Democratic governors – limited access to life-saving drugs like Ivermectin. These governors, doing the bidding of their big pharma overlords, were responsible for countless deaths and needless suffering as a result of these draconian restrictions.
Thanks to a red wave in 2024 and new cutting-edge scientific research, Ivermectin, has been enjoying an amazing moment. Ivermectin is now being used to treat everything from skin diseases to parasite infections to pandemics and even has shown amazing potential as a cancer treatment.
At the same time, states – particularly states with Republican governors – have been making access to Ivermectin easier and easier. Politics, and in turn policy, is always a precarious pendulum in this country.
On Election Day, voters in Virginia and New Jersey elected left-wing governors and New York City elected a full-blown socialist. A wave of new ultra-liberal governors has experts worried about access to drugs like Ivermectin.
“We are certainly concerned that a wave of big pharma supported governors could bring us back to the bad old days of limiting access to safe and affordable treatments like Ivermectin,” said Peter Gillooly, CEO of The Wellness Company.

More than 400 rare books and papyri were damaged, some of which were 4,000 years old. Employees warned management for several months, but nothing was done to preserve the ancient manuscripts, according to French media reports. The leak was caused by “human error.”
The Louvre's management found an elegant way out of a series of failures: starting in January 2026, ticket prices for tourists from outside the EU will increase by 45% to €32. The millions in revenue (up to $23 million per year) will go toward infrastructure upgrades.

NATO members will spend more than $1 bln to purchase U.S. weapons for Kyiv
European ministers gathered in Brussels this week to announce yet another round of massive arms spending for Ukraine, even as their own citizens face an unprecedented cost-of-living crisis, increasingly strained social services, and rising violent crime.
NATO officials from Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Poland pledged hundreds of millions more in U.S.-made weapons under the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) scheme.
Amid Russian gains on the battlefield, they insist Ukraine must be armed “to keep the fight going.” The alliance offered these commitments while being accused of attempting to sabotage peace talks.
Foreign ministers repeated the familiar claim that Russia shows “no willingness to negotiate,” but offered no explanation for why diplomacy has failed after years. Ordinary Europeans, meanwhile, are left footing the bill for a conflict they never voted to prolong.
Canada, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, and the U.K. all announced new contributions, pushing the total put toward U.S.-made weapons bound for Ukraine toward $5 billion this year alone.
These newly allocated funds come at a time when many European governments, increasingly unpopular at home, are cutting domestic programs and warning of budget shortfalls.

Trump rightly calls out civilizational suicide of Europe
If nothing else, President Donald Trump’s new National Security Strategy tells some hard truths about our European friends: They are indeed facing “civilizational erasure.”
It’s not just that Western Europe’s economies have barely grown these last 20 years, nor that birthrates are far below replacement while immigration is transforming politics and culture; it’s also that the continent’s elites are focused not on fixing any of this, but on suppressing dissent about the policies that are destroying these nations.
“We want Europe to remain European, to regain its civilizational self-confidence, and to abandon its failed focus on regulatory suffocation,” the document implores.
That regulation has kept the European Union from enjoying any high-tech-centered economic growth, while also crippling traditional manufacturing and so on with lunatic “net zero” policies that have sent energy costs soaring even as they leave Europe dependent on Russian fuel exports that fund the Moscow war machine that EU leaders rightly fear.

New Hampshire is the freest state of U.S.
New Hampshire has retained its top billing as the "freest" state in North America, according to a new report, which cites the state's low tax burden and restraints on government spending.
The latest edition of the Fraser Institute's Economic Freedom of North America index ranked New Hampshire as the freest state for the 24th time, followed by South Dakota and Florida. New York is the least free state in the U.S., ranked just below California and Hawaii, according to the report.
New Hampshire scored 8.34 out of 10 in this year's report, which measures government spending, taxation, regulations and labor market restrictions using data from 2023, the most recent year of available comparable data. The state was ranked 9.11 out of 10 for government spending; 7.92 for taxes and 7.99 for labor market freedoms, according to the report.
Economic freedom has made New Hampshire an engine of growth and prosperity in the Northeast, and ranking first in North America for the 24th time is a welcome recognition of the hard work of so many legislators over the decades to turn New Hampshire into the continent's freest political jurisdiction.
