Germany’s Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) Party is prepared to break with the European Union’s policy of open borders and implement a mass deportation operation. This is yet another reason why the establishment is attempting to ban the party and brand it as “far-right.” Europe’s open border policies began in Germany under former Chancellor Angela Merkel who urged Syrians to flee and seek asylum within Germany in 2015. That same year, Germany experienced a massive uptick of 2.14 million arrivals. Other figures believe the number is far higher. There are now an estimated 14 million immigrants in Germany, most of whom…
Credit: Screenshot via MSNBC Al Sharpton organized a “buy-cott” at a Costco store in Harlem, New York, to show support for the company’s continued commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. While the vast majority of retail companies have backed away from their corrosive DEI initiatives, no longer held hostage to the left as conservatives scored striking victories in the November elections, Costco has remained stubbornly dug in. Costco’s leadership has defended its DEI policies as integral to its business model and ethics, insisting that diversity enhances employee satisfaction, creativity, and the shopping experience. Why that is the case…

BEIJING: China called on Washington and Moscow on Tuesday (Jan 28) to “further reduce” their nuclear arsenals as a precondition for its participation in potential disarmament talks called for by US President Donald Trump. Trump said in a video address to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland last week that “we’d like to see denuclearisation”, and reiterated his desire for three-way talks with Russia and China. The day after Trump’s Davos address, Russia said it wanted to resume bilateral nuclear disarmament talks “as soon as possible”, and that “the ball is in the Americans’ court”. The former Cold War rivals…
It is a humbling sight watching battered Palestinians stream, mostly on foot, into northern Gaza like a long, winding river. The quiet, dignified procession back to the flattened remnants of their homes and uncertain lives is a moving testament to the resolve of a people who, despite the pervasive grief and loss, are determined to reclaim and rebuild what a genocidal regime sought to erase. Palestinians, as I wrote in a column earlier this month, are indefatigable. In that same piece, I explored the meaning of four words that came to mind when a ceasefire was finally struck following 15…

Skowronek’s conclusion?We stand today doubly exposed. We are vulnerable to an office that has been puffed up by the very institutions we depend on to circumscribe it. And for that, we are vulnerable to a rhetorical construction of our circumstance that otherwise bears little resemblance to reality. Navigating this moment and negotiating a safe reset is likely to prove harder than ever before.Desmond King, a political scientist at Oxford who has written extensively about American politics, shares many of Skowronek’s concerns, describing “the mass pardoning and sentence commutation for participants in the Jan. 6 storming of Capitol Hill as most…

High sea temperatures contributed to stormy weather in California in late 2023Kevin Carter/Getty Images The surge in ocean temperatures to record-breaking levels in 2023 and 2024 is a sign that the pace of climate change has accelerated, say researchers. Global ocean temperatures hit record highs for 450 days straight in 2023 and early 2024. Although some of the extra heat can be explained by an El Niño weather pattern emerging in the Pacific Ocean, about 44 per cent of the record warmth is down to the world’s oceans absorbing heat from the sun at an accelerating rate, according to Chris…
