According to the Association of the U.S. Army, the crisis of doctor shortages has been increasing for years, which negatively affects military readiness. Their own report cited the inability of the Army, Navy, and Air Force to recruit and retain enough doctors. As the number of military physicians has consistently decreased, the armed services have been forced to close some hospitals, to lower other hospitals to clinic status, and to use nurses and technicians as “physician extenders.”

More recently, leading U.S. physicians have spoken out about the largest healthcare monopoly in the country that we have ever seen, which also involves our medical residency programs. This too affects military readiness.

A renowned doctor recently wrote an OpEd in the Wall Street Journal scratching the surface on this crisis. He described how the private American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) acts like a regulator, hamstringing physicians with endless fees, paperwork, and testing.

The Green Party is tearing itself apart over internal trans guidance, a leaked dossier has revealed.

The 53-page report on legal and reputational risk to the party, leaked to The Telegraph, exposes an extraordinary row over the party’s policies on transgender and LGBT rights.

It poses material legal and financial risks to Zack Polanski’s movement, the dossier reveals.

The report, drawn up by the party’s own lawyers, raises concerns over “expulsions” of members who question gender ideology.

One might ask what business “trans rights” have in the activities of a party nominally concerned with environmentalism?

The answer, of course, is that both “environmentalism” and “trans rights” are integral components of the ongoing proglodyte attempt to radically transform (and, in course, destroy) Western culture.

The Polish border guard has discovered a tunnel beneath the Poland-Belarus frontier, with officials confirming that more than 180 migrants entered Poland on Thursday, December 11th, through the underground passage. The tunnel, located near the village of Narewka in the northeastern region, is the fourth such structure detected along the border in 2025. Authorities report that over 130 people have been detained so far, while searches for the remaining migrants continue.

Poland has heavily reinforced its border with Belarus since 2021, after authorities in Warsaw and other European capitals accused Minsk of deliberately directing migrants toward the European Union as part of a hybrid operation. Border Guard spokesman Lt. Col. Andrzej Ju?wiak said officers discovered the passage during routine patrols.

According to Ju?wiak, “the several-dozen-meter tunnel under the barrier and the technical road was about 1.5 meters high. Its entrance, hidden in the forest, was located about 50 meters on the Belarusian side of the border, and the exit was about 10 meters from the barrier on the Polish side.” He added that electronic monitoring systems allowed officers to determine how many people had crossed.

That’s the headline of this piece by Matt Margolis at PJ Media. My first thought on reading the title was: well, join the club. If that’s her goal, she’s got plenty of company on the right – or the former right.

There’s a history to this sort of thing, although the details vary. We’re all familiar with erstwhile conservatives Bill Kristol, and the Cheneys. They didn’t just leave the fold, they decided to turn on it and unite with their former opponents on the left and far left. Two more recent examples are Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, pundits who at least for a while seemed to be solidly on the right and now are in flagrant “tear it down, ha-ha-ha” mode, and although they haven’t joined with the far left they are certainly helping it along by being every bit as awful as the left always claims the right is.

For all motorists, but perhaps the Ferrari-collecting rocker Rod Stewart in particular, it will be music to the ears: researchers have developed a road surface that heals when it cracks, preventing potholes without a need for human intervention.

The international team devised a self-healing bitumen that mends cracks as they form by fusing the asphalt back together. In laboratory tests, pieces of the material repaired small fractures within an hour of them first appearing.

“When you close the cracks you prevent potholes forming in the future and extend the lifespan of the road,” said Dr Jose Norambuena-Contreras, a researcher on the project at Swansea University. “We can extend the surface lifespan by 30%.”

A University of California, Santa Barbara employee — allegedly disguised in a mask — helped inflame a hostile mob of anti-Israel demonstrators against a Jewish student leader, according to a federal lawsuit filed Thursday.

The complaint, which was obtained by the New York Post, accuses the university of repeatedly ignoring the student’s pleas for protection as the harassment escalated.

The suit was brought by 23-year-old Tessa Veksler, a Manhattan resident who recently graduated with degrees in political science and communications.

Veksler said she became the target of a sustained antisemitic campaign after publicly condemning the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terror attack that killed more than 1,200 Israelis.

According to the lawsuit, tensions peaked in February 2024 when Veksler — then serving as the school’s student body president — approached a large group of masked anti-Israel protesters in an effort to diffuse tensions.

“And she believed she was making progress until a UCSB representative — defendant Doe 1, and also wearing a mask — joined the meeting and began harassing Tessa and purposefully inciting the crowd’s antisemitic animus toward Tessa,” the filing stated.

This video essay examines the collapse of housing affordability across the developed world and the demographic, economic, and political consequences that follow. Drawing on Joel Kotkin’s analysis, it argues that restrictive planning regimes, urban-containment strategies, and elite-driven housing policies have undermined the pathway to ownership that once sustained the middle class. Over the last two decades, housing prices have risen far faster than household incomes, locking younger generations out of wealth accumulation and family formation.

A “color revolution” (sometimes called a “soft coup” or “regime-change operation by non-kinetic means”) is a modern form of orchestrated political upheaval designed to replace an existing government without traditional military invasion or civil war. The term arose from events in the early 2000s, such as Serbia’s Bulldozer Revolution (2000) and Georgia’s Rose Revolution (2003).

These operations follow a remarkably consistent playbook, refined over two decades by Western NGOs, intelligence-linked foundations, and State Department-affiliated entities (Open Society Foundations, USAID, etc.).

Authors describe seven stages of a color revolution.

The culture war in the western world is currently hitting a crescendo. At first the media said it was all “conspiracy theory” being amplified by a “fringe minority” of radical right wingers. Then, they admitted the conflict was real but claimed that conservatives were monsters trying to “dismantle democracy”. Today, the culture war has become the dominant issue of our age with the debate echoing through the halls of the White House.

Leftists hoped they could make it all go away by dismissing it. They hoped they could continue with their ideological takeover at their leisure. They failed. The rebellion in the US is a product of decades of effort by liberty advocates and it is finally bearing fruit.

However, I think many Americans and some Europeans are discovering that movements like progressive wokism (essentially Cultural Marxism) are much more than a mere reaction to the return of conservatives to the cultural space. The fight that’s happening in front of the curtain is only a dim reflection of the fight that’s going on behind the curtain.

On the approach to land on the aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman, the F/A-18F Super Hornet’s pilot looked out the canopy and saw a Standard Missile-2 (SM-2) launched from the Ticonderoga class guided missile cruiser USS Gettysburg speeding through the sky. At first, the pilot thought the missile was aimed at a Houthi drone or cruise missile, one of several fired at the carrier strike group on Dec. 22, 2024, during an attack from the Yemeni rebel group. But as the SM-2 drew closer and changed its course toward the Super Hornet, configured as an aerial refueler, the crew knew it was heading straight for them. However, they had no way of knowing that on the Gettysburg, their jet had been identified as a Houthi anti-ship cruise missile like others fired at the strike group, and thus a threat.

What happened next, the cascading series of problems that led up to it, and efforts to correct those issues are laid out in a Navy investigation report released Thursday. The investigation was one of four conducted into mishaps aboard the Truman during its troubled deployment to the Middle East. There were two additional Super Hornet losses and a collision with a merchant ship. You can read more about that in our initial story about the investigations here.

across Beijing, Shanghai and eight other cities mark the beginning of an escalation as the paranoid Xi regime sets out to suppress the growing number of Chinese Christians.

While the Communist regime claims that the official number of Christians in China is under 50 million people, the actual estimated number of Christians now tops 100 million. Most Chinese Christians are staying away from the official government churches and going underground.

The raids and the arrests of pastors and worshipers at ‘underground churches’ that are not officially registered with and do not submit to the regime’s Communist churches is the latest move by the Chinese Communist dictatorship to slow down and control the runaway growth in Christianity which has shot up from 1 million to over 100 million since the Cold War.

We’ve seen it many times before. Whenever there’s a murder or a terrorist attack that has some political overtones, first reports are that the person was/is a Trump supporter.

This also happened with the J6 pipe bomber suspect. The usual unnamed sources tell the MSM the person is MAGA, which gives the media license to report it, and so often it turns out to be untrue.

Thousands of young Guineans are departing from the country’s Atlantic coast for Spain’s Canary Islands, extending an already dangerous route to Europe, as political instability, economic hardship and tighter migration controls in neighbouring states, coordinated with European partners, reshape regional migration paths.

The shift toward Guinea reflects a broader realignment of West African migration pathways. Previously, smugglers relied on departure points in Senegal, Mauritania, and Morocco. However, intensified European visa restrictions and strengthened bilateral agreements with Spain have pushed these departures increasingly southward.

The Atlantic crossing from Guinea adds roughly 750 kilometers compared with routes originating in Senegal, significantly heightening the risks for migrants. Small, overcrowded boats are now leaving from coastal towns like Kamsar, where the fishing industry is gradually shifting toward facilitating illegal migration.

The students at America’s elite universities are supposed to be the smartest, most promising young people in the country. And yet, shocking percentages of them are claiming academic accommodations designed for students with learning disabilities.

In an article published this week in The Atlantic, education reporter Rose Horowitch lays out some shocking numbers. At Brown and Harvard, 20 percent of undergraduate students are disabled. At Amherst College, that’s 34 percent. At Stanford University, it’s a galling 38 percent. Most of these students are claiming mental health conditions and learning disabilities, like anxiety, depression, and ADHD.

Obviously, something is off here. The idea that some of the most elite, selective universities in America—schools that require 99th percentile SATs and sterling essays—would be educating large numbers of genuinely learning disabled students is clearly bogus. A student with real cognitive struggles is much more likely to end up in community college, or not in higher education at all, right?

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis did not just blow up her own witch-hunt RICO prosecution through her unethical misbehavior. She handed the persecuted defendants, including President Donald Trump, the right to send Fulton County taxpayers the bill.

A Fulton County judge has finally dismissed the 2020 election prosecution case Willis pursued against President Donald Trump and the remaining defendants in its entirety. It was a meritless case that should never have been brought in the first place. This came after the Georgia Court of Appeals and then the state Supreme Court disqualified Willis over a “significant appearance of impropriety” arising from her romantic relationship with the special prosecutor she hired, Nathan Wade, as well as numerous other problems with the case.

Georgia Code § 17-11-6, enacted this year, gives every defendant whose charges were dismissed the right to recover “all reasonable attorney’s fees and costs” from the budget of the DA’s office itself.

A school once attended by Samuel Pepys has proposed renaming one of its houses because of his “abusive and exploitative” behaviour towards women.

Hinchingbrooke School in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, has five houses named after famous people connected with the area, including the 17th-century diarist and Oliver Cromwell.

Parents of its pupils have been told that recent research into the writer’s behaviour revealed “actions that were harmful, abusive and exploitative, especially in his relations with women”.

As a result, the secondary school has suggested a consultation over renaming Pepys House, in a move that has left some parents furious at attempts to “erase history”.

Hinchingbrooke is associated with the Earl of Sandwich, Pepys’ patron. The heir to the Earldom is styled by courtesy Viscount Hinchingbrooke.

The union website features similar content across the board, offering materials on “Anti-immigrant rhetoric & deportation,” various “anti-racism” resources, and a “racial and social justice” page claiming “certain politicians” are using police officers against minority students.

Therefore, I’m glad that the member states have finally agreed on a way forward that includes a number of obligations for providers of communication services,” said Danish Minister for Justice, Peter Hummelgaard.

The deal, which follows years of division and deadlock among member states and privacy groups, allows the legislative file to move into final talks with the European Parliament on when and how platforms can be required to scan user content for suspected child sexual abuse and grooming.

Critical infrastructure projects can be delayed for years by the “arrival of a single Arctic tern” as Britain is “too risk adverse”, the author of a government report has said.

This week John Fingleton, former boss of the Office of Fair Trading, made headlines with his report into barriers facing nuclear power development and the revelation that more than £700 million is being spent at Hinkley Point C nuclear power station in Somerset on measures expected to save 0.083 salmon and 0.028 sea trout a year.

The 162-page report laid bare the reality of building in the UK: British nuclear plants are the most expensive ever. But Fingleton has told The Times that the issues he identified with nuclear building are systemic or wider issues.

In his Nov. 24 op-ed, Seattle conservative commentator Jason Rantz puts a sharp spotlight on what he frames as the overlooked reality of Washington’s fentanyl pipeline: that major trafficking networks are increasingly being run or staffed by illegal immigrants.

Rantz reports that federal agents dismantled two international drug rings in October—one tied to Ecuador, the other to Mexico—resulting in more than 18 arrests and the seizure of millions of lethal fentanyl doses, narcotics, illegal firearms, and even an improvised explosive device.

Rantz writes that the central revelation is that “many of the suspects… are in this country illegally,” a detail he says federal officials had not previously made public. U.S. Attorney Neil Floyd confirmed to The Jason Rantz Show that not all suspects are U.S. citizens and that investigators routinely discover unlawful status during arrests.

The United Kingdom may implement sweeping changes that would sharply curb the right to a jury trial in England and Wales, according to an internal Ministry of Justice briefing obtained by BBC News.

Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy, who is also secretary of state for the Ministry of Justice, is preparing a proposal that would guarantee jury trials only for defendants charged with rape, murder, manslaughter, or cases that meet a public interest threshold.

Most other serious offenses now handled in Crown Court would shift to a new tier of nonjury courts, a move the government says is aimed at easing record case backlogs.

Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary accused former top health official Dr. Anthony Fauci of orchestrating a “massive cover-up” of the origins of Covid-19. In an interview with “Pod Force One” podcast, Makary said that Fauci, who served as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease during the pandemic, worked to suppress the Wuhan lab-leak theory.

“One thing that’s extremely obvious that very few people realize, and certainly hardly anyone in the medical establishment where I come from realized, is that [Fauci] was involved in a massive cover-up of the origins of COVID, a massive cover-up,” Makary, who previously served as a professor at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, told host Miranda Devine.

Additionally, only 22% of high school seniors are proficient or above in math, down from 24% in 2019, and only 35% are proficient in reading—the lowest score since NAEP began in 1969—down from 37% in 2019. Also, a record-high percentage scored at “below basic” levels in both math and reading compared to all previous assessments.

People these days barely want to speak about the subject, because it is still somewhat divisive but mainly because it is deeply painful. It was this way following the Great War, a trauma on a similar scale. Most people just wanted it to go away, and to put it all in the rearview mirror.

That said, when people do open up about what happened, they share shocking stories of personal tragedy and loss. Only this past week, a man told me about his dream business he had started 10 years ago and then built into a growing wholesale machine with 200-plus employees and bright prospects ahead. With the lockdowns, all orders for his project stopped. The company collapsed in two weeks. All employees lost their jobs and he and his wife lost their dreams. They divorced soon after.

Today his idea and a version of his project is in most major stories, as manufactured by huge corporate enterprises. He changed professions and is still digging out from a financial hole.

It’s just one story but something replicated in some form millions of times over. Kids who experienced this will never forget it, and parents have few choices but to describe the whole thing as a time when adults lost their minds.

Remember that all of this happened not just in the United States but in 194 countries around the world. The policies were strikingly similar everywhere. It was a time in which human interaction was described as disease spreading and therefore to be avoided in the interest of “slowing the spread.”

A young woman is fighting for her life in Chicago with severe burns because of a grave injustice intolerably common in cities across America.

Bethany MaGee, a 26-year-old woman from Upland, Indiana, is fighting for her life with horrific burns she received while riding Chicago’s CTA Blue Line train on Nov. 17. Her story is incredibly similar to several other incidents as of late that have grabbed national headlines.

Lawrence Reed, a 50-year-old man with an astoundingly long criminal record, allegedly doused MaGee with gasoline, chased her through the train, and lit her on fire. He reportedly yelled out, “Burn alive b—.”

The incident was remarkably similar to one that took place on the New York subway a year ago. In that case the alleged assailant was an illegal alien.

Just like in the recent case of the murder of Iryna Zarutska, a woman who was stabbed to death on a Charlotte train, the suspected Chicago arsonist has a rap sheet almost hard to believe.

Many organizations and federal agencies involved in censoring Americans under the guise of mis/disinformation have shut down in the last couple years. Racket’s Twitter Files exposed the level of censorship slime oozing from organizations such as the Stanford Internet Observatory, the Election Integrity Project, and the Virality Project. On the government side of things, there was the Global Engagement Center, the Foreign Influence Task Force, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which still exists but is no longer involved in mis/disnfo work.

That’s not to say America is perfect when it comes to free speech, but as Sen. Rand Paul said in September, “throughout government, the censorship apparatus that Biden had put in place is gone.”

However, if you look to Germany, the strongest economic power in the European Union, it’s easy to see where America was going. It has about 330 organizations working with federal and state levels of government to suppress speech and about 425 grants — mostly from the government — that fund this work, according to research from liber-net, a free speech group that tracks censorship.

“Big Brother is watching you.”

These chilling words from George Orwell’s dystopian masterpiece, 1984, no longer read as fiction but are becoming a bleak reality in the UK and Canada—where digital dystopian measures are unravelling the fabric of freedom in two of the West’s oldest democracies.

Under the guise of safety and innovation, the UK and Canada are deploying invasive tools that undermine privacy, stifle free expression, and foster a culture of self-censorship. Both nations are exporting their digital control frameworks through the Five Eyes alliance, a covert intelligence-sharing network uniting the UK, Canada, US, Australia, and New Zealand, established during the Cold War.

Simultaneously, their alignment with the United Nations’ Agenda 2030, particularly Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16.9—which mandates universal legal identity by 2030—supports a global policy for digital IDs, such as the UK’s proposed Brit Card and Canada’s Digital Identity Program, which funnel personal data into centralized systems under the pretext of “efficiency and inclusion.” By championing expansive digital regulations, such as the UK’s Online Safety Act and Canada’s pending Bill C-8, which prioritize state-defined “safety” over individual liberties, both nations are not just embracing digital authoritarianism—they’re accelerating the West’s descent into it.
