Hoax bomb threats emailed to thousands of schools forced evacuations across Italy on Wednesday, and the same kind of message landed in schools in Ireland, Scotland and Northern Ireland, a week after a wave of bomb threats diverted flights across Europe. Italy’s Education Ministry said the email reached about 6,000 schools, and at least 300 were evacuated, ANSA reported.

In 2025, foreign beneficiaries of social welfare in households with minor children received a total of €12.2 billion in benefits, representing 59.4 percent of the total €20.54 billion paid out in this budget group, according to data obtained by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) from the federal government.

Ukrainian nationals made up the largest share among foreign recipients, accounting for €3.44 billion. They were followed by Syrians with €2.2 billion and Afghans with around €1 billion. Together, these three groups received roughly €6.7 billion, amounting to 55 percent of the benefits paid to foreigners in households with minor children.

These figures for welfare, also called citizens’ money, cover both single parents and couples with children. The money covers accommodation, heating, and social security contributions.

For several weeks, we’ve tracked the third-worlder caravan heading north towards the US southern border, made up largely of migrants from Honduras, and now tracking through southern Mexico.

…

The migrants’ departure coincided with last week’s Democratic victory in the US midterms and hopes that a more left-leaning Congress will allow them to flood the US – just like the open-border days under the Biden administration. Also, many of these migrants probably have hopes of blue states welcoming them in and showering them with free money.

Bizarre video shows a cane-wielding wannabe wizard ripping down an American flag before unleashing a frenzied attack at a Turning Point USA event at a Texas university.

The unidentified loon, who was wearing a cape and a wizard-like hat, grabbed the Stars and Stripes from a stand before attacking a TPUSA rep and two University of Texas students on Tuesday, according to the conservative group’s boots-on-the-ground journalism wing, TPUSA Frontlines.

The bespectacled nutjob hurled expletives at activists hosting the Pick Up the Mic event — an open dialogue initiative created in honor of assassinated Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

The video is pretty wild.

President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the BBC for defamation just received a green light from a federal judge to go forward to trial. Judge Jeffrey Kuntz (S.D. Fla.) ruled in Trump v. BBC that the media outlet must stand trial for splicing together lines from Trump’s January 6th speech to make it seem more violence-inducing before the riot at the Capitol. Judge Kuntz, however, rejected a claim under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. The biggest challenge for the court may be whether it can seat jurors who can overcome the case’s underlying political elements.

On October 31, as Paris was still dealing with violent demonstrations and unrest, the French government made an extraordinary decision: it prohibited a peaceful political conference on remigration. The contrast was difficult to miss. While protesters were throwing Molotov cocktails at police, an international gathering of politicians, writers, and activists seeking to debate European immigration policy was deemed too dangerous to take place. I was among those scheduled to speak at the conference, which was ironically titled “Remigration: Let’s Open the Debate!”

Organized by Polémia, the event was intended to bring together approximately 800 participants from Europe and the United States to discuss remigration—a term increasingly used to describe the return or deportation of foreign nationals, whether voluntary or compulsory.

Two days before the scheduled gathering, organizers received an official decree prohibiting it. French interior ministry authorities invoked the possibility of public disorder and characterized remigration as a xenophobic and racist ideology. An administrative court subsequently rejected an emergency appeal, forcing the organizers to move the conference online, where it was broadcast on X and YouTube.

Unfortunately, that particular prohibition was only the beginning. Austrian remigration activist Martin Sellner, scheduled to speak at the conference, was denied entry into France upon arriving at Paris–Beauvais Airport. He was detained, held in a cell all night without his phone, and subsequently deported to Austria. Sellner was also prevented from holding a book event and attending a rally in support of the Save Europe Act, a European citizens’ initiative advocating remigration. After French authorities prevented the rally from taking place, several hundred peaceful activists gathered at a restaurant outside central Paris. Within hours, police told everyone to leave the premises.

Three interventions in the space of a few days effectively dismantled an entire program of peaceful political activity.

In a surprise victory, Democrats swept the state. Led by Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa and Sen.-elect James Talarico, Democrats also seized the state House. Their campaigns appealed to moderates, promising affordability for working families. But now, they are already showing their cards by introducing 23 gun-related bills in the state Legislature since Nov. 9, the first day of pre-filing.

Of these, 22 anti-gun bills have been introduced in the state House, and one has been introduced in the state Senate, where Republicans maintain a slim majority—the last bastion against total Democrat domination.

One of these bills, HB 218, would effectively create “red flag” laws, allowing officials to seize Texans’ guns for up to a year for unproven allegations of dangerous mental illness. Texas Gun Rights President Chris McNutt said this would create a statewide gun-confiscation scheme allowing a judge to order Texans’ guns taken without due process.

Another, HB 173, would make it a state jail felony to transfer semiautomatic rifles to anyone younger than 21, with narrow exceptions for law enforcement, military personnel, and temporary sporting use.

Meanwhile, HB 613 would require background checks for private gun sales and transfers, making it a crime to transfer firearms without one.

HB 659 would go a step further, creating a state gun registry—collecting the IDs of buyers who purchase multiple guns or magazines in a week and sending them to the Texas Department of Public Safety and the local sheriff’s office. This could be a precursor to the state seizing Texans’ guns, much like California started using its registry in 2006 to take guns.

Following that 2020 suspension, Davis made headlines again in 2022 when the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission found her unfit to serve. She purposely unplugged courtroom recording equipment, threatened coworkers (even using Bible verses to do so!), used a fake handicap placard so she could park closer to buildings, lied under oath, and abused other court powers.

The evidence of abuse was so rampant that their recommendation was to remove her from the bench entirely, but the Michigan Supreme Court (now run almost entirely by Democrats) slapped her on the wrist again, handing her an additional 6-year suspension in 2023.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in Paris where he told a meeting of G7 ministers on Tuesday that the United States is “open to diplomacy” to end the conflict with Iran but that “the Iranian demands are totally unrealistic.”

Tehran is not backing off its seven conditions, which include things like the removal of sanctions and the payment of war reparations. Rubio stated, “We expect that could change – and if it does, we’re prepared for diplomacy.”

There was one big line in particular from the US top diplomat that is grabbing headlines. Rubio declared there is “no need” for renewed major combat operations against the Islamic Republic.

He signaled that the ecomomic war, however, will keep going and even be intensified: “The economic campaign (against Iran) is so devastating that right now there is no need for major combat operations,” Rubio described after the G7 foreign ministers met. “That’s what I told our allies here today.”

Democrat Abdi Daisane, a Somali-born daycare owner, has won a Minnesota House seat in a longtime Republican district, the Washington Examiner reported on Tuesday.

His victory comes despite scrutiny of his daycare center, which has received millions in government subsidies and faced questions over its operations.

Daisane captured 51.6% of the vote in last week’s election, defeating Republican Mike Conway, president of the St. Cloud City Council, to flip a Minnesota House district Republicans had held for about two decades. He will become the first Somali-born member of the Minnesota Legislature.

I’ve previously argued that Brightline’s proximity to southern Florida’s cruise ship ports made it the only private intercity rail line in the country that had any chance of success. The lesson for investors is that no private rail line in the U.S. will pay off. The lesson for rail advocates is that they need to lie like dogs to persuade investors to put up the funds for new passenger rail projects. As advocates of Colorado’s Front Range rail project proved last week, they are very good at doing that.

Snap, Crackle, and Pop! The sonic slogan of Rice Krispies is now becoming an anachronism.

The classic puffed rice foodstuff now no longer contain actual rice grains, at least in UK and European markets, the manufacturer Kellogg’s recently admitted. It will now use rice flour and corn flour, which aside from gustatory concerns, will result in it being noticeably quieter than it used to be. Kellogg’s, in the face of complaints online, insists that retaining the original sound was a “huge focus.”

It’s yet another example of the corporate cost-cutting putrefaction we’ve come to expect — and the reason for it is grim: climate change.

A spokesperson told media outlets that the reformulation will help “maintain consistent quality at a time when changing weather conditions are affecting the quality and availability of some of the rice and grains used in our cereals.”

The company didn’t get into specifics, but the recipe change comes as a powerful “super El Niño” climate phenomenon has devastated agriculture in South and Southeast Asia, where more than half the world’s rice is grown.

Once again, ‘climate change’ is used as an excuse for bad weather, and as an enabler of shitification.

The administration’s actions in South Africa are hugely significant because defending the rights of white South Africans is the linchpin of pushing back against anti-white policies worldwide. No group of whites in the world has received less sympathy—and arguably, since they voluntarily relinquished political power to the black majority in 1994, no group of whites has suffered as severely.

After 32 years of ANC governance, South Africa today features rolling blackouts in some of its largest cities. The ANC inherited Eskom, which was one of the world’s best power companies, and proceeded to loot it. When I visited the country’s largest bookstore in Johannesburg, only a humming generator kept the flickering lights on. South Africa’s water supply has also become inconsistent. Cape Town, South Africa’s tourist capital, almost became the first major world city to run out of water a few years back. Johannesburg, once the most advanced city on the African continent, saw its water delivery almost completely collapse just days before the elections.

South Africa also suffers from sky-high crime. Several South African cities are regularly ranked among the world’s most dangerous, and anyone with anything worth protecting relies on a substantial private security force that dwarfs the combined numbers of army and police personnel. Corruption is rampant, as is the looting of companies by the politically connected. So-called Black Economic Empowerment (BEE), which is designed in theory to spread more of South Africa’s wealth broadly, has unsurprisingly benefited only those who are allied with the regime. And the country’s borders are wide open to illegal immigration, which has become an increasingly potent issue in South African domestic politics.

Kendrick Watson, 41, was sitting behind the register at a Circle K in Stow, Ohio, around 3:30 a.m. on Nov. 2, when four would-be robbers repeatedly drove a stolen minivan into the storefront, shattering the glass entrance and dislodging an ATM, police said, according to 3News.

A second minivan then pulled up outside the convenience store as four masked men jumped out of the vehicle and rushed toward the store.

Watson grabbed his gun and fired seven shots, sending the brazen crew fleeing as he defended the store and his co-worker.

“You just never know what can happen,” Watson told the outlet Friday. “I was more shocked than terrified. Once they rushed the store, I thought my life and my co-worker’s life at the time was in danger, so I opened fire to protect myself and my co-worker.”

Watson’s gunshots struck one of the getaway minivans, a gas pump and a support post beneath the station’s canopy. Police said they did not know whether any of the men had been injured, but confirmed Watson would not face criminal charges.

Watson, who had worked at the Circle K for six years, said his manager called later that day and told him not to return.

“It was just disappointment, really. I knew I was going to get fired because they have [a] no gun, no weapons policy, so I knew that was coming, but my only issue with that was, obviously, this was an extreme situation,” he said.

The deranged passenger who claimed he had a bomb aboard a New Orleans-bound United Airlines flight and then tried to rush the cockpit, has been identified as a Honduran illegal migrant twice kicked out of the US, immigration officials told The Post.

Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto, 34, was arrested on three separate occasions by Border Patrol for illegally entering the United States, years before he threatened to blow up the United flight 2174 plane out of New Jersey Monday night, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said.

Immigration officials said that Gomez-Alberto, a Honduras native, was arrested twice in the US and deported – first in September 2011 near El Indio, Texas, and again in October 2014 in Columbus, New Mexico.

He does a really good job of looking like a Muslim.

The slippery migrant made his way back into the US a third time in 2019 near California’s San Ysidro border town, where he was nabbed again, according to DHS.

But Gomez-Alberto was freed from ICE custody in January 2020 after a judge ordered his release pending removal proceedings, authorities said.

I have been thinking more about women, feminism, and abortion.

The other day I learned that globally, women murder about 1/3 of their unborn babies. This does not include the children they murder after they are born. This amounts to about 73,000,000 children. I wrote it out in numerals so people would see all the zeroes.

The population of the UK is about 69,000,000. Women are murdering almost 1% of the world’s population every year.

It wasn’t until this morning that it occurred to me to compare the murder number to the number of people who die because of war every year. That number is believed to lie between 250,000 and 500,000.

In other words, women kill at least 75 times as many people as soldiers. The figure may be closer to 150.

Worse, every victim is innocent, and there is no justification for over 99.5% of their killings. You can’t say that about people who die in wars.

The highest estimate for deaths caused by coronavirus in a single year is 10,400,000. That’s less than one seventh as many people are murdered by women in a typical year.

We think terrorism and war are dangerous. We worry about pandemics. Add it all up, and it doesn’t come close to the number of murders committed by women.

Women are the most dangerous people on Earth, by far. No contest.

This is where feminism took us.

Life is less about who we want to be—which is a hard question to answer—and more about who we don’t want to be—which is in every case easier to determine.

The Trump administration has the green light to continue building a border wall in the Big Bend region of Texas after a Supreme Court ruling Monday.

Plaintiffs seeking to block construction of the wall argued that it threatened the landscape of Big Bend National Park, which historically did not have high rates of illegal immigration, and that the area could instead be protected through surveillance technology, The Associated Press reported. The project was going to include 30-foot-tall steel barriers in some areas.

The Justice Department argued in an emergency appeal that illegal border crossings and drug seizures in Big Bend made the region vulnerable.

In the case of Markwayne Mullin, Secretary of Homeland Security, et al. v. Friends of the Ruidosa Church, the justices paused a ruling by the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas that sided with opponents of the wall and determined that Congress likely did not authorize the broad waivers for speedy construction.

The high court agreed with the administration that federal law limits judges’ powers to intervene when the government decides swift border barrier construction is necessary.

The lower court’s order “bars the Secretary from exercising his statutory authority to waive applicable laws” to expedite construction, the court wrote. “The injunction thus impedes the Government from advancing its ‘compelling interests’ in border security and integrity.”

Plaintiffs included a river guide, an environmental nonprofit, and a nonprofit dedicated to preserving a historic church in Ruidosa, Texas.

The border wall is a signature issue for President Donald Trump. Congress approved $46 billion for construction of the wall, and the Texas portion in question was just one section. U.S. Customs and Border Protection has built about 12 miles of wall per week across the United States, and the Department of Homeland Security has issued waivers for certain environmental rules in various locations.
