BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND – The new British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, has commented on a report he commissioned that found the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) is in a deplorable condition. The report’s findings echoed media investigations of the past which discovered unacceptably long waits for treatment, hospital structures that are crumbling, patients dying unnecessarily, patients on…

With Joe Biden’s presidency in peril over the left finally admitting publicly he has little grasp of his basic faculties and more voices demanding he withdraw from the 2024 race, Biden went to his happy places on Monday with a surprise call to MSNBC’s Morning Joe, his favorite news show and helmed by two of his top liberal media lemmings, co-hosts Joe Scarborough and wife Mika…

Everyone loves a good underdog story. Unfortunately, though, Hollywood inserts so much liberal propaganda into almost every production these days, it’s hard to find a good one anymore. So, when a gem like Netflix’s charming Geek Girl comes along, without any agenda tied to it, it’s like a breath of fresh air. This is a show the whole family can enjoy.

HBO’s John Oliver will occasionally use Last Week Tonight to try to educate American viewers on a subject they know little about, but the subject of Oliver’s Sunday wrath this time was not the dictatorship of Turkmenistan, but his native Britain’s Conservative Party which is down in the polls ahead of their July 4 election. Being the host of a nominal comedy show gave Oliver the…

First came Brexit, then came Trump — and now it’s happening again. In June 2016, Britain voted to leave the European Union. This month, Brexit’s mastermind, Nigel Farage, returned to the fore of British politics. He’s running in next month’s U.K. general election, but Farage’s real aim isn’t to get a seat in Parliament; it’s to replace the Conservative Party with a new populist force of his…

As the presidential election kicks into high gear, CBS Saturday Morning hit the road to seek the opinions of a group of people who will have zero impact on the results: the British, and more specifically, Brits who think Donald Trump is a racist and a misogynist.

Unelected pundits unceasingly tell us democracy is in danger. Yet as voters grit their teeth for a Biden-Trump rematch, they might wonder whether democracy is such a great thing in the first place. Was it all a mistake to ditch George III for this? The U.K. has free elections just as we do. But when a prime minister is as unpopular as, say, Rishi Sunak is right now, nobody worries that Britain…

With the exception of Pearl Harbor, the Western Hemisphere escaped World War II mostly unscathed. It also led, to paraphrase Japanese Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto's alleged quote, a sleeping giant to wake up in the form of the United States. With Europe and Asia in rubble, the threat of the Soviets replacing the Nazis, and China falling to the communists, men like Winston Churchill, Harry Truman, and…

Twitter Files journalist Matt Taibbi broke the news that the censorship outfit Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) allegedly misrepresented itself to the IRS to gain tax-exempt status. 

Why is Donald Trump so resilient? As 2023 draws to a close, the ex-president is on track to win the Republican nomination and beat Joe Biden next November. If the election were today, Trump would get his second term. Yet he’s charged with crimes that run a gamut from election interference to mishandling classified information. He’s under gag orders and lost a $5 million civil suit this year.…

In a bizarre throwaway report, the kind that is used as a timestuffer towards the end of a newscast, NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt goes through the trouble of mentioning the arrest of a suspect in the gruesome death of an American hockey player, but has a most difficult time identifying the suspect.

This week, the Metropolitan Police in London were videotaped removing posters with pictures of hostages taken by Hamas. The posters were being removed from Cullimore Chemist in Edgware. The chemist's CEO, Hassan Khan, recently retweeted posts branding Israel and the IDF "filthy animals" and encouraging Iran and Hezbollah to attack Israel.This naturally caused some properly earned angst. After…

The war between Hamas and Israel forces everyone to recognize an uncomfortable truth: Immigration is a foreign-policy issue. In Germany, as throngs of Hamas supporters took to the streets, Henry Kissinger told Welt TV, “It was a grave mistake to let in so many people of totally different culture and religion and concepts because it creates a pressure group inside each country that does that…

The Daily Show returned to Comedy Central on Monday and proceeded to blame seemingly everybody, but Hamas for the current war going on between it and Israel. Temp host Michael Kosta and Eurasia Group President Ian Bremmer would blame everybody from Britain to the Arab states seeking normalization deals with Israel to Israel itself to the United States for the carnage, but Hamas itself…
