Jesús Domínguez pushes through thick brush lining a rugged mountainside with an AK-47 slung over his shoulder and a grenade fastened to his leather belt.

He marches alongside a pack of camouflage-clad men patrolling the rural stretches of Mexico against one of the country’s most powerful drug cartels.

Armed with military-grade weapons smuggled from the U.S., the 50-man force is one of dozens of “autodefensa,” or “self-defense,” groups that have emerged over the past decade in Mexico to fight increasingly sophisticated cartels in areas far out of the reach of security forces.

“The government doesn’t care about us, and it’s impossible for our arms to compete with (the cartel’s),” said Domínguez, 34, from a watch post overlooking the mountains of Guerrero state. “They come at you with a ton of force, so you need to respond with force…If you don’t, they’ll overwhelm you.”

Researchers in China have created a textile from living mycelium that is self-cleaning, near self-repairing and can be coloured or made UV protective through “plug-and-play” add-ons of different fungi or yeast.

The breakthrough from the researchers at the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology is a type of engineered living material (ELM) – a material built off living organisms that stay active even after they’re fabricated into their final form.

This distinguishes it from most contemporary uses of mycelium, which involve drying and effectively killing the fungus to produce a stable, non-growing material that has become a popular emerging alternative to plastic packaging and vinyl.

He says that like it was a bad thing.

Former CNN reporter and host Jim Acosta is the type of person who claims to believe that journalists need to speak truth to power and hold politicians accountable. However, when Acosta welcomed Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed to his Friday podcast, Acosta hosted a strategy planning session disguised as an interview as he wondered how El-Sayed would respond to his critics who are “obviously steeped in Islamophobia” and who accuse him of being a socialist.

A phobia is an irrational fear. Fear of Islam is perfectly rational, as 1400 years of history make clear.

Marxist streamer Hasan Piker has emerged as an increasingly visible, if unofficial, spokesman for the Democratic Socialists of America’s rapidly expanding political action network. He campaigned for Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong while cultivating close ties with socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

From an electoral-risk perspective, Piker is becoming a liability for Democrats. His far-left, anti-American rhetoric provides Republicans with what we called “a gift” last week. Even Hillary Clinton warned on Friday that the GOP’s “anti-communist messaging is very effective.”

Say what you will about the Clintons, at least they’re able to read the room.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told Kara Swisher on the “Pivot” podcast that Republicans are deploying what she called a “very effective” anti-communist attack against the Democratic Party’s rising class of far-left candidates, who are increasingly defeating establishment Democrats in primary races.

Clinton told Swisher that Abdul El-Sayed’s narrow victory in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary is a wake-up call for the party. She said El-Sayed must unite the party by winning over supporters of moderate Rep. Haley Stevens and reassuring independent voters ahead of his general election contest against Republican Mike Rogers.

“The real fight will be, how do we make sure that people who voted for Haley feel comfortable voting for Abdul El-Sayed, and how do we get independents to feel comfortable,” Clinton said.

“It’s not just about Michigan, but the Republican messaging is ‘communist, socialist.’ It’s going to be a very effective attack,” she warned, adding, “People on the left have to be prepared to answer that and be effective in answering that.”

In recent months, the leftist media have been fearmongering about the possibility of Donald Trump rigging the 2026 midterms. At the same time, however, they have found themselves opposing election security measures like the SAVE America Act.

MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart joined PBS News Hour anchor Amna Nawaz and The Atlantic staff writer David Brooks on Friday to defend Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed from Brooks’s accusation of being a socialist. While that may have been a bridge too far for Capehart, he had no problem claiming President Trump’s new birthright citizenship executive orders were “openly racist” and “white nationalist.”

To the race-obsessed, all things are racist.

Capehart wasn’t the only member of the trio upset at GOP labeling efforts. Nawaz lamented to Brooks, “What we have seen from Republicans on the messaging front so far is some anti-Muslim rhetoric already. Republicans are now using Dr. El-Sayed’s full name in their ads, which they haven’t used before, which is Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, which I guess is supposed to scare people or something. But the president is also talking about a rising communism threat. None of these candidates are communists. Are those the strongest messages the Republicans have right now?”

Both Muslims and communists represent existential threats to both the country and our civilization. How much stronger a message is there?

In the heart of the Oxford Union, a supposed bastion of open debate, a single brown paper envelope triggered pure panic.

Commentator Laurence Fox stood to argue that the West is right to be suspicious of Islam. He held up the envelope and indicated it contained a cartoon of the prophet Muhammad. The chamber erupted in frantic attempts to stop him opening it. Rules were suddenly invoked. Relevance was questioned. Respect was demanded.

The Muslim president of the Union interjected that her very presence should have been enough to persuade Fox that Muslims believe in free speech.

“My wife asked me not to show this for fear of repercussions for my family,” Fox said. “But I told her that if I did not, I would have submitted to Islam.” He continued that the West should resist Islam “in the strongest terms on free-speech grounds alone.”

Fox opened the envelope and revealed a cartoon of Rees-Mogg. Laughter and applause followed. The fear that had gripped the room evaporated the instant it became clear the image did not depict Muhammad.

In that moment the argument was settled more effectively than any speech could manage.

Some people have started looking at the Muslim Brotherhood network similarities behind Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed in 2026 and the former Illinois Senate candidacy of Barack Hussein Obama. Indeed, if you look at the political timeline, there is a comparative similarity between a mid-term senate race (Obama in ’06) and El-Sayed in ’26; with politically higher aspirations for 2028.

Teachers unions such as the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers are using dues to push a political agenda instead of “addressing the failed education system,” the head of Moms for Liberty told the Daily Signal in an interview.

Tina Descovich, the group’s CEO, says her claim does not stem from her own personal opinion, but from years of tracking union resolutions, curricula, and meetings, as well national education data.

The Department of Education’s 2025 National Assessment of Educational Progress revealed that a record 32% of high school seniors cannot read proficiently, and almost half cannot do basic math. Fourth- and eighth-grade math and reading scores also fell, continuing a collapse that began before the COVID-19 school closures.

“The teachers unions are the reason public education is failing in America,” Descovich said, adding that they focus on “everything but education.”

An Iranian cleric who once vowed to buy Manchester United is now trying to blow up Iran’s peace talks.

Almost two decades ago, Mohammad Bagher Kharrazi announced that his organisation was purchasing the club and would rename it “Kheybar” after a seventh-century battle in which Muslims overran a Jewish settlement.

The claim never advanced beyond the headlines, but it captured the man perfectly: grandiose, provocative and impossible to ignore.

Now, Mr Kharrazi is back with another goal.

As Tehran edges towards an understanding with Washington over reopening the Strait of Hormuz, Mr Kharrazi, the self-styled secretary-general of a fringe group called “Hezbollah of Iran”, has launched a barrage of claims aimed at the officials negotiating an end to the war.

A co-founder of Restore Britain has said Muslims are “less British” than Christians.

I’d be prepared to say that they aren’t British at all in any significant respect.

Charlie Downes, who is the campaign director for the Right-wing party, said Muslims had little claim to being regarded as British because they lacked any deep connection to the country.

Muslims are, before all else, members of the Ummah, the aggregation of all Muslims in the world, and that alliegience comes before any ‘national’ identity.

His comments have provoked a wave of condemnation from a number of religious faiths, with Muslim leaders describing them as divisive and discriminatory.

Of course they do. What they don’t describe them as is ‘wrong’ or ‘erroneous’. This is the Woke agenda: It doesn’t matter what the truth is, what matters is how people feel.

Two academics who appointed Jason Arday to his Cambridge professorship have published work attacking “whiteness” in education, The Telegraph can reveal.

Prof Michalinos Zembylas, professor of educational theory at the Open University of Cyprus, and Prof Anoop Nayak, of Newcastle University, were among four external academics chosen to sit on the nine-member panel that unanimously selected Mr Arday in 2022.

Academic articles reviewed by The Telegraph show that one professor called for the “re-education of whites”, while another condemned “neo-liberal whiteness” in UK and US universities.

From recent satellite imagery, the Russian Navy now looks to be using nets to protect submarines from drone attacks at a highly strategic base on the country’s far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula. There are also signs that Russian forces have been taking new steps at a separate base along the Black Sea to shield submarines against uncrewed aerial threats. The appearance of the nets over the submarines at the base in Kamchatka point to how Russia’s concerns about drone threats have extended to critical facilities far removed from the battlefields of Ukraine.

TWZ obtained the imagery showing the netting in place over submarines at the Russian Navy’s base at Rybachiy from Vantor. Business insider was first to report on these images. Rybachiy is notably the homeport for the vast majority of Borei and Borei-A class nuclear ballistic missile submarines, or SSBNs, in service in Russia today. It is also home to various other guided missile and attack submarines assigned to the Russian Navy’s Pacific Fleet.

Images of Rybachiy from Vantor taken on August 4, seen at the top of this story and below, show several different types of submarines fully covered by nets. What is visible in the imagery is broadly consistent with netting that Russian forces have employed in and around Ukraine as a countermeasure against kamikaze drone attacks against assets on the ground and in the water. Similar netting has also observed in use by other armed forces elsewhere globally.

Many thousands of European women who put themselves in the same plight have become victims at the hands of their culture-enriching lovers. It’s as if they’ve never heard about the risks involved in such relationships, and perhaps they haven’t, since the politically correct media and popular culture strive mightily to hide the truth.

Michael Steele’s devolution from RNC chairman to being indistinguishable from any of his left-wing MS NOW colleagues was on full display again on Thursday as he filled in for former Biden White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on The Briefing. At one point, Steele welcomed failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams to the show to accuse the GOP of wanting to bring back Jim Crow and naturally spread unfounded conspiracy theories about voter suppression.

Thursday also happened to be primary night in Tennessee, which, given the state’s redistricting efforts earlier in the year, led Steele to wonder, “I just want to, out of the box, just ask about Memphis specifically, where the Ninth Congressional District, the one that was a majority black district, was completely erased. There were tons of protests when that happened. And I think it was my impression, at least, that such an action could motivate Democrats, and not just Democrats, but independent and even some Republicans in that district to show up and vote today. Have you seen any evidence of that energy, either in Tennessee or in other states where Republicans have taken similar actions?”

For former enlisted, I would look first for Good Conduct Medals.

Bringing veterans into your organization shouldn’t be a charitable act, or some abstract nod to patriotism. The sacrifices military service requires, even for a single enlistment, can demonstrate to savvy hiring managers that this individual knows how to successfully integrate into a group and improve it at every level. The military is not a status quo organization. I like to hire veterans because, time and again, they will outperform my expectations.

Whether in sales, estimating, field management, or administration, construction — my industry — is an unforgiving business. Projects have tight schedules, changing priorities, demanding customers, and little room for excuses. Success depends on people who show up every day, solve problems under pressure, and remain committed to the team when things become difficult.

Those are the exact characteristics the military develops.

They also beat into you the notion that The Mission Comes First. That is an excellent work ethic to offer an employer, and more than one employer during my working life have told me how much they appreciate it.

All OutKick founder Clay Travis did was challenge the WNBA and “the Science” cult to put their money where their mouth is and prove that biological males don’t have an unfair physical advantage over women in sports, and the alphabet soup mafia in the media are already losing their collective mind.

Travis pledged $10 million August 3 for the WNBA to put their defending champion Las Vegas Aces up against a boys’ high school basketball team of his choosing, with the apparent intent of showcasing the idiocy of biological males competing in women’s sports.

I’d bet on the high school team. Easy money.

In March 2023, Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich claimed at a conference in France that, “there is no such thing as a Palestinian people.” News outlets quoted him saying “There is no such thing as a Palestinian nation. There is no Palestinian history. There is no Palestinian language,” and asking rhetorically “Is there a Palestinian history or culture? There is none.”

Smotrich was correct in many respects. There is no nation called “Palestine” and no “Palestinian” language, but there is a Palestinian culture. It was forged mostly by Yasser Arafat, the PLO’s leader for five decades, and is singularly defined by violence. Unique among all other Arab cultures and national identities, Palestinian culture and the Palestinian identity are predicated on a single political goal – the unceasing desire to destroy an existing country, in this case Israel.

Take away the resistance, and there’s nothing left of a distinctly Palestinian culture.

The New York Times has finally noticed the academic credibility meltdown at one of the premier universities in the world, Cambridge: Ex-professor Jason Arday, a plagiarist and fabulist who rocketed up the academic ladder, enabled by gullible or perhaps intimidated fellow scholars, aided by lawyerly muscle and even Scotland Yard to keep doubters quiet.

Spain is bracing for a possible second mass migrant crossing into Ceuta as the political fallout from last week’s unprecedented border breach spreads from Madrid to Brussels.

The Guardia Civil is closely monitoring social media messages calling on migrants to gather in the Moroccan border town of Castillejos on August 15 before attempting to enter the Spanish enclave.

Sources within the force told 20minutos that the threat was “more than a rumour,” with mobilisation messages circulating through WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook groups with as many as 400,000 members.

Officials believe another influx on the scale of July 30—when Spanish authorities say more than 72,000 migrants crossed from Morocco—is unlikely because security has since been dramatically reinforced. But Interior Ministry sources acknowledged that another attempted mass entry was a real possibility, saying authorities would be prepared.

Every such order that he signs involves his opponents in time and trouble and expense. And he has made it clear that he’s going to keep trying to fix the problem as long as he remains President. (Sound familiar? It’s the same trick Democrats have used since Wilson.)

President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on Thursday aimed at limiting birthright citizenship, after the Supreme Court in June struck down his previous order restricting the policy.

“We had a very unfortunate decision in the Supreme Court concerning birthright [citizenship]… so we’re making adjustments,” Trump said in the Oval Office.

Birthright citizenship is the practice of the babies of noncitizens receiving citizenship if they are born in the United States. The Supreme Court’s majority opinion in Trump v. Barbara, authored by Chief Justice John Roberts and issued on June 30, stated that the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment requires all children born within the United States to automatically qualify as citizens at birth.

Trump’s first executive order, signed on Thursday, identifies certain categories of children of noncitizens who are not entitled to birthright citizenship. The White House says those categories are consistent with historical exceptions recognized by the Supreme Court.

The second order directs the secretaries of state and homeland security to end the practice of birth tourism, when a foreign national travels to the U.S. for the purpose of giving birth to a child and obtaining citizenship for that child. In recent years, Chinese nationals have hired surrogates to give birth to their children on U.S. territory.

“People are building businesses around it, from—wealthy people are building businesses around birthright citizenship. That’s not the way it’s supposed to work. It’s a disgrace,” Trump said. They’re buying their way in, and we’re not going to let it happen.”

Supporters of an Arizona version of the SAVE Act allege that the state’s top election official used loaded and inaccurate language to describe the measure when putting it on the November ballot.

A group of Arizona voters is suing the office of Democrat Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, alleging the office omitted key provisions, inserted political commentary, and made unsupported claims about the legal effect of Proposition 144, a proposed state constitutional amendment to add voter ID and proof of citizenship requirements in elections.

The Legislature referred the measure to Fontes’ office in the form of a four-page bill and did not propose a summary to use in ballot language. Plaintiffs contend the secretary of state is still required to provide neutral language in the summary, and are asking the court for new ballot language before early voting on the measure begins in October.

Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced a federal legislation Thursday in the House and Senate aimed at protecting houses of worship from disruptive demonstrations, following a series of protests outside of synagogues this year.

The Right to Worship Act was introduced by Sens. Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican, and Elissa Slotkin, a Michigan Democrat, alongside Reps. Brad Knott, a North Carolina Republican, and Tom Suozzi, a New York Democrat. It would establish a 100-foot “buffer zone” around houses of worship during religious services — mirroring similar legislation recently enacted in New York.

“The First Amendment guarantees every American the right to freely exercise their faith, and Congress has a duty to ensure that guarantee is met,” Cruz said in a statement Thursday.

The legislation would also establish civil penalties for offenders and provide pathways for individuals, including state attorneys, to seek court orders and damages in federal court. While the legislation would target protesters who knowingly disrupt scheduled religious services, houses of worship would not be required to make their schedules public.

The bill’s sponsors say the measure is aimed at conduct rather than the content of protesters’ speech.

Nearly all Jewish students surveyed on Canadian university campuses said they have experienced or witnessed antisemitism, according to a new government-commissioned report.

The survey from the Department of Canadian Heritage found that 95.7% of Jewish students said they were exposed to antisemitism, with 70% saying their university did not take antisemitism seriously and 22% reporting physical violence against Jews.

“Antisemitism on Canadian campuses is neither isolated nor episodic,” said Jack Jedwab, the report’s main author, at a press conference in Ottawa on Wednesday. “It can reasonably be described as systemic.”

The surveyed students anonymously detailed rhetoric, discriminatory treatment, vandalism, intimidation and physical attacks from their classmates as well as professors and administrators. Some 45% said they experienced Holocaust denial or distortion often or sometimes, and 65% said they encountered it “at least rarely.”

One respondent said they had witnessed a friend who wears a kippah being chased out of a school building by a group of students who shouted, “There is a Jew … let’s get him.”

As long as Jews keep voting for socialists, they’re going to have this problem. When are they going to realize that the only real difference between Socialists and National Socialists is the color of their uniforms?

The fact that exemptions are available suggests that, in addition to making a political talking point, it’s also going to serve as a vehicle for Democrat graft.

Individuals who have been notified about being potentially subject to the pied-à-terre tax have until Sept. 18 to apply for an exemption, according to the New York City Department of Finance. That deadline was extended from the original deadline of Aug. 21.

To find it, archaeologists had to tread carefully for 336 meters (1,102 feet) into the dank Bruniquel Cave, located in a picturesque pocket of southwestern France, not far from Toulouse.

Once they reached its largest chamber, they were confronted with two structures made from stalagmites that had been yanked from the cavern floor, broken into bits, and placed in a circular formation.

A 20-year-old Swiss woman in a black leather trench coat and high heels posing in front of a helicopter may not look like the typical Pokémon card collector.

But Jolina Gisele has amassed what is believed to be the world’s largest collection of the Japanese trading cards.

The self-styled “Pokémon princess” is now selling her 60,000-card collection, which is estimated to be worth £90m, after building it since she was seven.

The Houthi rebels of Yemen have launched one of their biggest attacks on Saudi-aligned forces in that country in years. The strikes are a flare-up in what up until recently has been a largely dormant conflict. They took place in eastern Yemeni provinces of Marib and Hadhramaut, which are areas controlled by local forces opposed to the Houthis. This unfolded as the Iranian-backed rebel group is also expanding its campaign against Saudi shipping in the Red Sea region and its oil production infrastructure.

The Houthis claim they killed and injured hundreds of the Saudi-aligned troops. Yemeni government officials said that at least 30 troops were killed while there has been no official comment from Riyadh. However, the U.S. Embassy in Yemen, the Yemeni Defense Ministry and the Saudi-led forces confirmed the attacks.

“Our armed forces carried out a broad and precise military operation targeting the Saudi enemy’s mobilizations in the areas of Al-Ruwaik, Al-Abr, and Al-Thaniyah, and other camps belonging to what is called the First and Third Emergency Divisions, using a large number of ballistic missiles and drones,” Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree stated on X. In addition to “the deaths and injuries of hundreds of Saudi enemy mercenaries,” Saree claimed the “destruction and burning of a large number of Saudi enemy camps, mobilizations, storage depots, and weapons in the Al-Wadiah area in the east of the country” as well as the “destruction of a large number of vehicles.”
