WASHINGTON — President Trump told The Post that he won’t quickly follow Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in recognizing the independence of Somaliland — saying he has to “study” his longtime Mideast ally’s pitch on behalf of the breakaway republic.

Germany’s empty churches repurposed as congregations shrink

On its final day, St. Anna’s is almost full again. A choir is singing and the small organ is supporting them. But this is the last mass in the small Catholic church in Gildehaus, a district of Bad Bentheim near the German-Dutch border. In future, the building will no longer be a place of worship.

Towards the end of the service, the demise of this church becomes achingly real. Worshippers from the congregation open the altar and remove the relics. These are small relics of a saint, be they bone fragments or pieces of textile, which are always incorporated into the altar of a consecrated Catholic church.

Illegal alien from Mali awaiting deportation stabs 3 women on Paris Metro

French police on Friday arrested a man suspected of stabbing three women in the Paris metro as the capital’s end-of-year festivities were in full swing, prosecutors told AFP.

The three victims were attacked at three different locations along the Line 3 metro track that runs across central Paris, the RATP authority that runs the transit service told AFP.

From Fdesouche – According to our information, this Malian national, residing illegally in France, was imprisoned in January 2024 for aggravated robbery and sexual assault after receiving a criminal conviction. Released in July 2025, “given his immigration status ,” he was issued a deportation order ( OQTF ) and placed in an administrative detention center (CRA). “As his removal could not be completed within the legal timeframe of ninety days, due to the lack of a consular laissez-passer and the absence of a valid identity document, he was released under house arrest,” the Ministry of the Interior told Le Figaro . He was wanted on an outstanding warrant.

Mali is 95% Muslim.

Adam Zivo: B.C. winds down practice of sending addicts home with free drugs

British Columbia recently mandated that, starting from the end of this month, most “safer supply” drugs must be consumed under medical supervision in an effort to keep them from being diverted to the black market. While this reform is laudable and will help keep dangerous opioids off Canadian streets, it is reprehensible that the province dragged its feet for years here.

The Nazi legion stopping one historian from returning home

In the final months of the Second World War, as his unit retreated in the face of Allied advances with barely a shot fired, Karl Hoffmann, the German linguist and SS officer, developed a ritual.

Once a day, he would put on breezy swing records from the 1920s and dictate magazine articles in bad Urdu while caressing the hair of his typist, a fervently Nazi corporal from Hamburg.

Such was life in the “Tiger” legion, a chaotic and largely ornamental body of roughly 3,000 soldiers from British-ruled India who had mostly been captured in the North Africa campaign and recruited to the Wehrmacht.
