While much of Europe has spent the last decade apologizing for its own existence, Italy just did something totally different, and it’s got a lot of people applauding. Instead of issuing another tired, failed speech about “shared responsibility” and “global migration flows,” Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has just approved legislation that will use the Italian navy to stop illegals from reaching Italian shores in the first place.

Block them and they will just go around. Sink them and you will stop the invasion.

I hope they're blowing them out of the water! Not very Christian of me, I know, but they're muslims and they hate us. It's what needs to be done.

PM Meloni did this very cleverly and has put Von Der Leyen and the EU in a very bad position: They have to stop this, because she was uppity; but if they do, it will provoke questions about their immigration policy that they can't defend. What the Italian Navy is doing is boarding suspicious ships and checking them for 'seaworthiness', food, water, etc. If they fail (apparently almost all do), the Navy escorts them back to the waters of wherever they came from. Close enough in, the 'sender' country is stuck with rescuing them. All of what Meloni has done is legal - all the EUers can whine about is that she's not honoring the 'spirit' of their laws. Hopefully other EU countries will follow Italy's example.

Next thing we will see is Italian Olympic athletes and celebrities saying they're not proud to represent Italy due to "all that is going on" in the country and treatment of migrants. Where will George and Amal Clooney move to to flee the poor treatment of illegals?

My region is Friuli Venezia Guilia, think all that's north and east of Venice. We have a lot of folks from Ghana, seem nice, integrated well, no visible problems. Our population of other nationalities have yet to show major issues. Large cities are an issue and she's done the correct thing. Ciao, Cris

At some point, you have to ask what exactly the left is fighting for.Because when a man is caught with 57 pounds of meth, this probably isn’t the hill you should die on. Clearly, something has gone very wrong in the Democrat Party. America is drowning in drugs, and families are being ripped apart by addiction. US cities are buckling under fentanyl and meth epidemics, and yet in Minneapolis, left-wing activists showed up to physically try to block ICE from arresting an illegal caught with enough meth to poison entire communities.

In the race for California governor, so many Democratic candidates have crowded into the contest that party insiders have become fearful of a historic calamity in the making. It’s become mathematically possible that Democrats divide their vote so much that two Republicans advance from the June primary to the general election. “It’s the parlor game in Sacramento right now — could this happen?” Democratic consultant Paul Mitchell said. The uncertainty in the outcome stems from the state’s unpredictable “ top two ” primary system. All candidates appear on a single ballot but only the two top finishers advance to the November general election,

You might have guessed by now that most of what the national press reports about President Trump’s immigration crackdown and ICE detentions is either intentionally misleading, lacking context, incomplete, or outright false. Take the latest media outrage over the arrest and detention of an Irishman named Seamus Culleton, a man who arrived in America 17 years ago, is married to an American citizen, lives in Boston, has work authorization and a pending Green Card application. Culleton came here legally in 2009 on a visa waiver program but overstayed the six-month limit. )snip) an arrest warrant was issued for him by Irish authorities shortly after he arrived in the U.S.

This is one step further than simple Lawfare, this story is about lower court judges openly strategizing ways to stop the enforcement of laws they are supposed to uphold.Last week the Fifth Circuit Cout of Appeals ruled that detaining illegal aliens during the deportation proceedings is entirely following current immigration law [SEE HERE]. Now, according to Politico, federal judges in Texas are openly strategizing ways to work around that higher court ruling and keep giving bond releases to illegal aliens under the guise of “liberty interest.”

Last month, FBI agents executed a search warrant in Union City, Georgia, marking a sharp escalation in scrutiny surrounding Fulton County’s handling of the 2020 election. The FBI has now reportedly substantiated major irregularities in vote counting from Fulton County, Georgia, during the 2020 election and is now investigating whether those errors were deliberate violations of federal law. An affidavit filed by FBI Special Agent Hugh Raymond Evans last month, which was unsealed Tuesday, lays out five categories of confirmed problems in Fulton County's handling of ballots, raising questions that have simmered for over five years since Trump and his allies raised questions about the election in Georgia and other

It happened again. Another Democratic politician posed for a photo while attempting to cook meat on a grill. This time it was Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D., Va.) who tried to look normal by grilling a substance some claim was intended to represent "beef." The governor posted a photo of herself on X along with the caption "Order up!" and a steak emoji. Many remarked upon the hideous appearance of the alleged meat, as well as the deranged grin on Spanberger's face—the manic visage of an overmedicated wine mom about to mow down a rival's goldendoodle with her luxury SUV. It was a disastrous grill-related performance from the Democrats, but

Trump Buries Obama’s Climate Policy 14 replies

The U.S. government is dismantling the legal foundation of numerous climate protection measures from the era of President Barack Obama. The economy is being freed from the shackles of CO2 fixation. For European businesses, this will soon translate into noticeably higher competitive pressure. February 12, 2026, marks the end of a political era in the United States. On Thursday, President Donald Trump, together with EPA administrator Lee Zeldin, repealed the so-called Endangerment Finding. This is one of the largest deregulation measures in recent U.S. history. Legally, the move primarily deregulates the EPA framework. It is not an executive order or a law passed by Congress.

One of the most visible actions after the U.S. Senate failed to pass the House version of a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security this week was Democrats swiftly hightailing it out of Washington, D.C., and heading to Europe for the 62nd Munich Security Conference. Senate Dems were not the only ones eagar to make an appearance at the yearly conference, though, and there's a simple reason for that. In its report, CNN describes the European gathering as a regular pit stop for "politicians to test the foreign policy waters and elevate their own profiles on the international stage ahead of White House runs."

The city of Chicago exists on another plane of the universe than the rest of us. It's a place where up is down, black is white, and the basic laws of physics are held in abeyance so that when adding one plus one, any number that's convenient (and politically viable) can be the answer. In Chicago's budget, the "new physics" includes the caveat that nothing is real unless we (the aldermen and the city's hapless Mayor Brandon Johnson) say it is. And even then, nothing is permanent in this alternate plane of the universe. An equation that's "true" today may not be so "true" tomorrow. Do you think I'm being facetious?
