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.

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.

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.

Can Carney still put together a credible climate plan? Does it matter?

Ten months before he resigned from Mark Carney’s cabinet, Steven Guilbeault vouched for the then Liberal leadership contender.

“I’ve known Mark for many years. We’ve worked together on issues of green energy, transition, fighting climate change and the role of the financial sector in fighting climate change,” Guilbeault told reporters when he endorsed Carney’s candidacy to lead the party in January.


So long as he and Brookfield can profit.

Trump: Zelensky must accept peace deal because Ukraine is losing

US president claims European leaders will let Kyiv’s troops ‘fight until they drop’

Donald Trump has warned Ukraine to accept his peace proposal because Russia is winning the war.

The US president suggested his approach to settling the war was in contrast to the Europeans, who he claimed would let Kyiv fight “until they drop”.

In a wide-ranging interview, Mr Trump accused continental leaders of failing to adequately support Ukraine, branding some of them “real stupid”, as well as claiming Sadiq Khan’s London had been ruined by “ unchecked, unvetted” migration.
