Donald Trump wins South Carolina primary, defeating Nikki Haley in her own state: ‘Sooner than we anticipated’

COLUMBIA, South Carolina — Donald Trump defeated GOP rival Nikki Haley in the South Carolina primary Saturday night, securing yet another win for the former president.

The race was called almost immediately after the polls closed at 7 p.m.

“This was a little sooner than we anticipated. And even a bigger win than we anticipated,” Trump said to applause on stage at the state fairgrounds in Columbia moments after the victory.

“I have never seen the Republican Party as United as it is right now,” he said.

France’s Half-Baked Plan to Fight Islamist Separatism

A new ban on foreign-appointed imams in France is aimed at combating Islamist separatism, but the policy risks making matters worse by handing future decisions about hiring imams over to local groups affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood. The French move is an example of a political decision that sounds superficially positive. Unfortunately, it fails to address the complex, often unofficial processes by which Islamist ideology is currently disseminated. As such, it offers an object lesson in what not to do, worthy of close observation.

The West tried to crush Russia’s economy. Why hasn’t it worked?

Oil income: slashed. Oligarchs’ assets: frozen. Access to weapons: choked.

Russia has faced a historic slew of penalties from Washington, Brussels and beyond since it launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022. The punishments, chiefly economic sanctions, were designed in large part to drain Russia’s coffers so it would struggle to fund its war. And more pain has been promised as both the U.S. and EU unveiled new sanctions against Russia this week, some tied to the death of imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

The EU’s Complicity in Financing the Iranian Regime

Trade between Iran and the European Union (EU) has flourished over the years; this economic and diplomatic partnership is a large art of what has been fueling the Ayatollahs’ support for terrorist groups and undermining regional stability. In recent years, the extent of their trade has reached significant levels, with billions of euros exchanged in goods and services. Behind these seemingly benign economic transactions, however, lies a troubling reality: the funds generated from Europe’s trade with Iran are being funneled into activities that are now prolonging violence and conflict across the Middle East and beyond.

Hostin Conspiracy: GOP Only Support IVF to Stave Off White Replacement

Good things don’t last long on ABC’s The View. After defending embryos as children earlier in the week, staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) found her angle of attack against Republicans on Friday, in the wake of an Alabama Supreme Court ruling on in vitro fertilization. According to her, the only reason Republicans were now coming out in defense of IVF was because it was how they planned to stave off white people being replaced by minorities.

Poilievre vows to ‘always stand with Ukraine’ as third year of Russian war begins

OTTAWA – Pierre Poilievre has vowed that “Canada will always stand with Ukraine” as the world marks the second anniversary of Russia’s invasion of the country.

The federal Conservative Party leader posted on social media today, denouncing the “tyranny” of Russian President Vladimir Putin and applauding Ukraine’s “unshakeable resolve and determination.”

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has accused Poilievre of abandoning Ukraine because of the Conservatives’ opposition to the Canada-Ukraine trade agreement.

Why Canada’s consensus on immigration is fraying

OTTAWA—Anti-immigration sentiment used to be politically taboo. Election after election, a majority of voters told party leaders they wanted more immigrants, not fewer. That vision of a Canada welcoming newcomers with open arms, however, is increasingly challenged. Unless governments address a growing perception that unbridled migration is making the country worse off, we may be walking towards a darker, more divisive path, one that makes us less wealthy in the long run.

This week, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre signalled a large reduction in migration numbers will be part of his upcoming platform.

Most of the article is given over to that lying idiot Miller making his usual stupid statements.

Intuitive Machines: Odysseus Moon lander ‘tipped over on touchdown’

Its owner, Texan firm Intuitive Machines, says Odysseus has plenty of power and is communicating with Earth.
Controllers are trying to retrieve pictures from the robot.
