While mainstream media screams ‘MAGA lunatic’ after the Michigan Mormon church mass shooting, the truth tells a different story. Thomas Jacob Sanford was not driven by Trump but by animosity toward Mormons. Contrast that with left-linked violence—like the ICE shooting or Charlie Kirk’s assassination—where ideology was scrawled on the very bullets.
‘In recent years, international football has undergone a number of drastic changes. I welcome several of these developments…However, fans should keep in mind that not all change is good change…At some point, fans need to stand up to protect the tradition of the great game.’
‘It isn’t clear what can be done to reverse this dynamic of polarization and derangement. But we are not powerless to resist its grip and we could, if we choose, exercise more decorum in how we respond to the deaths of other people. And if we can’t screen out the most deranged voices online, we can at least try to resist their provocations.’
‘The question in the title of this panel is based on the very dubious assumption that—until now—we have been living in an era of globalization and that this era is now coming to an end. I consider this a wrong way of thinking, a wrong reasoning, a wrong reading of history.’
With a federal government shutdown likely coming in the US, it is worth asking: why not include appropriations bills for annual federal budgets in the list of exceptions that do not need to clear the 60-vote threshold in the Senate to overcome the filibuster?
‘As someone with libertarian leanings and a true appreciation of free speech, am I wary of government overreach in the regulation of network television? Yes, of course I am. But do I believe that penalizing companies that use public airwaves to broadcast high-production shows which exclusively mock the opposition to the party they donate to constitutes such overreach? Absolutely not.’
‘The fact is that Sweden faces a serious problem with extremely violent crime, and children are drawn into it both as victims and perpetrators. Regardless of the exact figures, the collective media and political reaction to Orbán’s fundamentally reasonable criticism looks like dressing up a pig.’
The blood of Iryna Zarutska and Charlie Kirk is not only on the hands of their killers—it stains the political and cultural establishment that excused, enabled, and even celebrated their deaths. These tragedies are not isolated—they are warnings for conservatives worldwide.
‘The sad truth is that most liberal democracies have had it so good for so long that we’ve forgotten that almost nothing worthwhile comes without effort, that freedom has to be defended, and that often enough the alternative to fighting is surrender. Something that Israel has always known; that the Ukrainians have more recently discovered; that the Taiwanese might belatedly be waking up to…’
‘Given the sexual curiosity of people today, especially among the youth, there is a pressing need for the Church’s shepherds to speak with clarity on such matters. Regrettably, what we often witness is the ostrich effect at the very best—or rather, the application of the legal maxim: “Qui tacet consentire,” that is: “In their silence, they give consent.”’
‘The current epoch marks another revolutionary shift: the digital warfare paradigm, driven by rapid advances in artificial intelligence, cyber capabilities, autonomous weapons, and real-time data integration…It is no longer sheer numbers or tonnage of materiel that decide battles, but information superiority, network resilience, and the speed of decision-making.’
French President Emmanuel Macron’s remark calling Vladimir Putin ‘an ogre at our gates’ marks a dangerous shift in Europe’s war rhetoric. Once confined to online echo chambers, dehumanizing language is now openly used by Western leaders—laying the ground for escalation, while exposing the blatant hypocrisy of those who once condemned such tactics when used by Donald Trump.
At a campaign event, TISZA Party Vice Chair Zoltán Tarr said: ‘I won’t tell you everything, because if I did, we would fail,’ referring to the party’s plans. TISZA’s PM candidate, Péter Magyar, urged journalists to hear the full context—then admitted he hadn’t listened to the full discussion himself.
Robert Brovdi is no hero for Hungary. His drone strikes on Druzhba threaten Hungarian families’ energy security and mock treaties and the international law. Some may call him a hero, but in truth, he serves only Kyiv—and his own words make that painfully clear.
‘Through Japan’s growing business and cultural ties with Hungary, the Hungarian–Japanese relationship is poised to grow at an exponential rate in the coming years. Japan’s use of Hungary as a central manufacturing hub for vehicles and electronics equipment is only going to grow as a result of increased defense industry cooperation between NATO and Tokyo.’
After months of search, it seems that the Democratic Party has found its leader to help them through the second Trump administration. California Governor Gavin Newsom is clearly gearing up to get himself his party’s nomination for President in 2028—should Republicans be worried or relieved?
Alaska hosted more than a summit last Friday—it staged the funeral of the liberal order. Trump and Putin’s display of power buried the post-Cold War consensus, sidelined Europe, and offered Russia a new role in an emerging world order no longer defined by Western institutions.
‘This is significant because Hungary is uniquely positioned to be an asset to President Trump as he handles another crisis in the Indo-Pacific region: China and its continued threats to militarily invade Taiwan. Hungary is increasingly proving itself to be an indispensable country for China and its overall strategy in Europe, and is becoming increasingly important financially for Taiwan.’
‘Bismarck’s campaign for a “good treaty” with Russia reflected the notion that antagonizing the Russians could be as disastrous as waking a bear from hibernation—an apt metaphor for what the U.S.–NATO expansionist approach eventually did…Bismarck emphasized the urgency of not only respecting Russia’s interests but also recognizing it as a crucial player on the global political stage…’
European leaders’ obsession with the Munich analogy ahead of the Trump–Putin summit is turning history into a political crutch. Leaders warn of appeasement, yet ignore the radically different context of today’s war, risking self-imposed irrelevance in peace talks and handing strategic advantage to Washington and Moscow.
‘Europe has sent a clear signal: it will not defend its regulatory model when seriously challenged. The message has not been lost in Washington—or in Beijing. Already, the narrative of a weakened Europe is gaining traction among analysts and investors. The idea that the EU could act as a third pole in a global competition between powers has taken a direct hit.’
‘The failure of African states to properly address their racial, ethnic, cultural, religious, and economic differences provided a fertile ground for rebel groups, like al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb, Boko Haram, al-Shabaab, al-Mulathameen Brigade, and now the Allied Democratic Forces to prosper.’
‘…just recently, during the EU–China summit hosted by Xi, not only was there no Chinese delegation to welcome European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and other top EU leaders, but the Chinese autocrat also made them take a bus to reach the summit venue. This does not look like a man who is on his way out.’
After the US–EU trade deal, it is impossible to ignore the striking similarities between late Qing‑era China and Europe’s current predicament. The period marking the downfall of the Qing dynasty is known as China’s Century of Humiliation—a process that, in many respects, is already well underway in today’s Europe. Yet our humiliation must not be allowed to last a century.
President Trump has weathered many scandals during his political career. This time, however, it is coming from a different direction—not the mainstream media, but his own base. Will he be able to live down the Epstein files debacle?
‘The EU accession of a country financially subjugated to Brussels would have far-reaching implications for the functioning of the Union. If Ukraine were to join the EU as a Member State, it would gain veto power in the Council, a Commissioner in the European Commission, and dozens of MEPs in the European Parliament—amounting to significant voting influence within EU institutions.’
‘Therefore, two Antemurale myths are currently clashing in Europe: one geopolitical and ideological, in which Ukraine is seen as the last bulwark of European civilization; the other cultural and demographic, with Hungary positioning itself as the defender of traditional Western values and Christianity.’
‘Beyond the purely political and economic, a strong civilizational synergy remains between the two nations. Hungary and Cambodia share the common fate of being ancient countries undergoing processes of national renewal and self-discovery, with the traumas of Communist anti-historicism—and the temptations of liberal ahistoricism—now largely behind them.’
‘This was a vacuous election. No one truly won the campaign, and no one emerged victorious in the battle of ideas. Neither major party offered a compelling vision for Australia’s future. As Liberal candidate Henry Pike admitted after election day, the campaign “became a blur of competing handouts and taxpayer-funded concessions.” It was, in short, a mess.’
‘In this new age of hybrid warfare, information is power. As the saying goes: “the pen is mightier than the sword”—and nothing is more dangerous than a government or military that has mastered the use of both. Social media, when properly weaponized, offers governments and organizations around the world alarming capabilities.’
