Trump calls Europe ‘decaying’ group of nations with weak leaders

US president singles out London, saying it is now a ‘different place’ and referring to mayor Sadiq Khan as ‘vicious and disgusting’

President Trump has condemned European leaders as “weak” in a wide-ranging attack that criticised the “decaying” group of nations for being too politically correct and failing to control immigration.

“Europe doesn’t know what to do,” Trump said in an interview with Politico. “They want to be politically correct, and it makes them weak. That’s what makes them weak.”

The president also criticised European leaders for failing to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, saying: “They talk but they don’t produce. And the war just keeps going on and on. I mean, four years now it’s been going on, long before I got here.”

Adam Pankratz: B.C.’s reconciliation nightmare gets even worse

It has been clear for some months now that David Eby and the B.C. NDP’s approach to Indigenous reconciliation would have ruinous consequences for British Columbia’s economy. Last Friday, the situation got even worse, as a new court ruling poured more cold water on economic activity in the province and opened the door to every B.C. law being subject to interpretation through a United Nations human rights document. The implications for British Columbia could not be much more dire.

Donald Trump is calling for Europe to save itself

National Security Strategy warnings are motivated by desire to preserve Christian civilisation

One particular passage in America’s National Security Strategy, published last week, is causing meltdown in Britain and Europe and on the American left. Economic decline in Europe, said the NSS, is being eclipsed by “civilisational erasure”.

Some European countries are on course to become majority non-European. The EU and other transnational bodies are undermining political liberty and censoring free speech. Birth rates are cratering and national identities and self-confidence are being lost.

“Should present trends continue,” the NSS authors wrote, “the continent will be unrecognisable in 20 years or less. As such, it is far from obvious whether certain European countries will have economies and militaries strong enough to remain reliable allies.”

Meet the Anti-Cop Activists Who Will Advise Mamdani on Criminal Justice

Many members of the mayor-elect’s Committee on Community Safety have long histories of anti-law-enforcement radicalism.

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani wants to reimagine public safety in New York City. On the campaign trail, he promised to devote more than $1 billion to the “Department of Community Safety,” a new agency that will “tak[e] a public health approach to safety.”

But what will his agenda look like in practice? Late last month, the mayor-elect released the roster of his transition team’s Committee on Community Safety, a 26-person group that will advise him on criminal-justice and related issues. The list contains several activists who are not only openly hostile to law enforcement but also reject the very concept of carceral punishment.

No Stabilization in Gaza Without Dismantling Hamas

It is time to confront one of the most dangerous illusions of our time: the belief that an International Stabilization Force for Gaza can bring order, reconstruction, or peace without dismantling Hamas. A force that enters Gaza while Hamas remains armed will merely stabilize Hamas itself. It will become, in practice, an International Stabilization Force for Hamas, a shield that protects the very organization that plunged Gaza into tragedy.

So long as there is Islam the world will not know peace.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday designated one of the largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy groups in the U.S. a “foreign terrorist organization,” following a similar step by Texas last month.

The directive against the Council on American-Islamic Relations comes in an executive order DeSantis posted on the social media site X. It also gives the same label to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Asylum seekers offered cut-price channel crossings if they swallow packets of cocaine or heroin

Migrants crossing the Channel in small boats are bringing heroin into Britain on behalf of people smugglers, a Telegraph investigation has found.

Asylum seekers are being offered free or cut-price crossings from northern France if they swallow packets of Class A drugs and deliver them to organised criminal gangs in Britain.

Some migrants who agree to smuggle cocaine and heroin are offered “VIP crossings”, joining women and children on boats that criminals believe attract less suspicion.
