Do the Math: Why Europe May Not Pull Through

In 2024, 24% of births in the EU were to foreign-born mothers. This figure exceeds 30% in Germany, Belgium, Spain, Austria and others, and reaches 68% in Luxembourg. Within five to ten years, Luxembourg will cease to exist as a country furthering Western values. Assimilation of immigrants has not taken place....

Writes EPIC Response to Shrieking, Angry
Rep. Rashida Tlaib 3 replies
People all over the political spectrum are getting tired of the antics of people like Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. Every time the woman speaks, it’s a fire and brimstone diatribe about the evils of America.
She doesn’t talk like a member of congress. She sounds more like the unhinged leader of an invading force, threatening to take down the very country she claims to represent. Everyone is sick of it.
Actress and filmmaker Justine Bateman is not a conservative. If anything, she is a centrist, yet even she has had it with this. You will want to read what she wrote in response to Tlaib.
Bateman was reacting to this video:

It’s a move obscene on so many levels: Members of the City Council are looking to vote themselves a fat pay hike.
Just days after they approved a gargantuan $126 billion city budget, they took up a measure to boost their salaries more than 18% retroactive to Jan. 1 — plus automatic 2% hikes every year thereafter.
The hikes would push members’ pay to $175,500, upper middle-class income territory and more than twice the city’s median income ($81,228).
So the move shows complete contempt for city voters, who the pols plainly think won’t notice, as well as for the City Charter, which sets out an entirely different procedure for upping their pay.
A top conservative legislator in the U.S. House of Representatives is pushing a bill to require hospitals to report the immigration status of Social Security recipients after allegations of illegal immigrants and unlawful residents have risen in recent years.
The Illegal Alien Reporting Act, introduced by Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, would “amend title XI of the Social Security Act to require hospitals participating in Federal health care programs to report certain information related to immigration status.” “For too long, Washington has ignored the financial impact that illegal immigration has on our nation’s health care system,” Roy told the Daily Signal.
Was George W. Bush Treated Unfairly?

If you look at George W. Bush, people—his reputation has gone up a little bit because he broke with [Donald] Trump, the next Republican. I’m not sure he voted for Trump, and he made his peace with [Barack] Obama.
There were three things that people fault Bush for. I’m not sure he was responsible. No. 1 was the Iraq War. No. 2 was the Afghan War. No. 3 was the 2008 financial meltdown. I think he was the most conservative Republican president that we have had since forever.
He was much more conservative than his father, George H.W. Bush. He tried to do a lot of things.
On Thursday night, President Donald Trump will reveal newly declassified intelligence reports that claim foreign countries interfered in the 2020 presidential election, MS Now first reported. CIA Director John Ratcliffe, acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin will join the president for the address, according to MS Now.
Trump posted on Truth Social that he would be “making a speech to the nation on Thursday evening, at 9 p.m. Eastern.”
The president has long said that he believes the 2020 election, which he lost to Joe Biden, was rigged.
Tehran’s proved its promises mean nothing: No sooner had the prez threatened serious consequences if Iran failed to declare the Strait of Hormuz open than it defiantly attacked a commercial ship and declared it closed.
“They agreed to a deal yesterday,” Trump reported Sunday. “No nuclear, no this, no that . . . And then within an hour, they launched a drone at a ship.”
But let’s be clear here: The goal is to enforce the right to free navigation of international waters.
That is, safe passage for commercial ships and no tolls by anyone, including the United States.
Tehran is claiming it owns the Strait. Iran’s leaders—
A select group of Republicans on the House Budget Committee were called to Camp David for a “hush-hush” Reconciliation 3.0 meeting with House leadership Friday. After months of planning, Republicans are now acting on legislation that could determine if they keep the majority in the midterms.
Committee members who were invited met at the White House on Sunday afternoon. After their phones were taken, the select Republicans boarded a bus for a two-hour drive to the secret meeting.
Following the meeting, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., announced that the committee will take its first steps on legislation President Donald Trump calls a “must pass.”
The Bahrain Defense Force (BDF) said on Monday that its air defenses “successfully intercepted and destroyed several treacherous Iranian aerial attacks.”The BDF denounced Iran’s attacks as “treacherous” and stressed that “deliberate use of missiles and drones to target civilians and private property constitutes a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.”
Iran launched missiles and drones at Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, and Oman over the weekend as the United States continued to hammer air defenses, radar sites, missile depots, and attack boats controlled by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a designated terrorist organization.
Five years ago, suggesting that COVID-19 may have originated in a laboratory rather than a wet market could earn someone the label “conspiracy theorist.”
Discussing vaccine injuries could result in a post being removed from social media. Questioning prolonged school closures, forced masking, or vaccine mandates often led to accusations of being “anti-science.”
Today, many of those once-forbidden discussions have become part of public debate.
That doesn’t mean every alternative theory is correct.
But it raises an important question.
What happens when institutions repeatedly assure the public that they are unquestionably right, only to revise, retreat, or quietly abandon those assurances months or years later?
Flush with a $1.7 million payout in his defamation suit against a flaky former Trump donor, Hunter Biden is on a publicity blitz. He appears on random podcasts, tweets obsessively on X, took to the stage for a live performance in Phoenix and launched a new Substack “Where’s Hunter,” on which he posts long screeds about himself.
It is a little like reading his laptop — without the homemade porn.
The lies are the same, but this new Hunter sounds nothing like the whiny, malicious Hunter who revealed himself in seven years of frantic, crack-inspired musings on his infamous laptop.
The new Hunter is polished, calculated and utterly inauthentic.
Democrats have many problems, not the least of which is an inability to understand, and for some the refusal to accept, basic economics. If they did, there wouldn’t be proposals to raise the federal minimum wage to a preposterous $25 an hour.
House Resolution 8555 would “place the federal minimum wage on a durable path toward a living wage,” requiring “large, highly profitable corporations to lead the transition.” Under its yoke, large employers would have to raise their lowest wage from the current $7.25 an hour to $15 an hour on Jan. 1, 2027, a more-than-double spike that would shock the market.

Washington — South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster is set to appoint the late Sen. Lindsey Graham's sister Darline Graham Nordone to finish his Senate term, which ends in January, sources familiar with the decision tell CBS News. McMaster is holding a press conference at 4 p.m. to announce his appointment for the vacant seat left by Graham's death. The replacement will be able to serve until at least Jan. 3, when a new Congress convenes. President Trump, Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina and others have voiced their support for Nordone. Senate Majority Leader John Thune told CNN that selecting Graham's

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) is facing accusations of undermining what was intended to be the largest U.S. naval parade in 50 years during the Sail4th 250 events celebrating America’s 250th anniversary.Maritime expert, CEO of gCaptain, and a member of the Pentagon Press Corps, John Konrad, alleges that Mamdani’s administration used multiple city agencies to create obstacles, including complicating Navy permits, deploying barricades that misdirected crowds, and shutting down ferry service to the sold-out Governors Island viewing area following a minor overnight storm.
Konrad cites multiple military sources, ranging from O-5 ranks to admirals, in laying out a long string of allegations on X.
In the aftermath of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre that left 11 Israeli coaches and athletes dead at the hands of Black September terrorists (bonus question: the Palestinians and which other nation were involved in "Black September?"), Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir unleashed Operation Spring of Youth, a raid on Palestine Liberation Organization camps in Lebanon that killed over 50 terrorists. She also went after the Munich massacre organizers. Operation Wrath of God unleashed Mossad hit squads on Black September terrorists cowering in Europe, under the illusion they were safe there. This operation continued until its final hit on February 14, 1988, in Cyprus. Between nine and 11 key
A black feminist historian whose work is being labeled as misleading — and who may have lost her cushy academic job — says it all comes down to an attack on black women.
The New York Times tells the tale of Kerri Greenidge, whose 2022 book “The Grimkes” was hailed for its narrative about a slaveholding family and its work in the abolitionist movement.
Publishers Weekly put the book on its list of that year’s top books, while the American Historical Association handed Greenidge the Joan Kelly Memorial Prize, which honors scholars in women’s history and feminist theory.
New York has spent years aggressively taxing its wealthiest residents in the name of fairness, and the results are now in. Suffice it to say, they’re not pretty.
A new study released Monday by the Citizen Budget Commission (CBC) reveals the state’s share of America’s millionaires has dropped sharply since 2010, triggering a nearly $11 billion shortfall in tax revenue in a single year as high earners quietly packed up and left for lower-tax states.
The analysis shows New York’s share of millionaires fell from 12.7% in 2010 to just 8.7% in 2022 — the steepest decline of any state in the country.

The Scourge of Teen Takeovers

This past Memorial Day, more than 1,000 teens swarmed the blocks around Lake Michigan in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood. A resident described the scene: “Hundreds of people were walking and running down our street, jumping on top of cars, twerking, smoking blunts.” One group twerked on the top of a city bus.
At about 9 pm, the Chicago Police Department closed Lake Shore Drive. As sirens wailed, the Hyde Park resident armed himself with bear spray to retrieve something from his car. An hour later, a gunman shot three teens a block from the resident’s home. The suspect remains at large, though police made 13 arrests for illegal gun possession,

National test scores are down to the lowest level since testing began and school spending has shot up, passing $1.1 trillion, while urban schools dole out such lavish benefits to teachers’ unions as six figure salaries, free Ozempic and abortions, and public school students suffer.
‘Princess Moss’, the new president of the NEA, announced that the National Education Association, the largest teachers’ union, “can be and must be the most powerful force in America.”
Why make the NEA, which destroyed education for a generation of students during the COVID lockdowns, into the “most powerful force in America”? Is it to help the students? Obviously not.

Supreme Court Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett recounted the threats against her life after the leak of the Dobbs decision during a Tuesday hearing.
The Supreme Court asked Congress to provide an additional $14.6 million for security in the fiscal year 2027 Financial Services and General Government (FSGG) funding bill. During a House Appropriations FSGG Committee hearing, Barrett described being sent home in a bullet proof vest after the decision in Dobbs v. Women’s Health Organization was leaked in May 2022.
“They have required me [and] my children to think about and see things that children should not have to see or think about,” Barrett said. “One example is when
Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger says concertgoers want to escape from politics and everyday worries rather than sit through political speeches.
Jagger made the remarks during an interview on The New York Times podcast after being asked about Bruce Springsteen, who has repeatedly used his current tour to lambast President Trump.
Host David Marchese noted that Springsteen “clearly sees his job as engaging in a meaningful back and forth” with audiences before asking Jagger what his own relationship with fans means to him.
Jagger said his priority is giving audiences a break from the outside world.
CNBC sounds like a business channel, but it’s really just another liberal channel. When it thinks about the best “states for business,” they’re matching that with what they call “quality of life.” Some measures – health care, crime – make nonpartisan sense, but CNBC adds grades for “inclusiveness,” “protections” against discrimination, anti-gun "reforms," and naturally, “reproductive rights.” They touted their ongoing winner -- Vermont, the Bernie Sanders State: The best states to live in for 2026: No. 1 has a six-year winning streak The best states are the most liberal states?
