First day of Ukraine peace talks ‘very productive’, US says

The first day of trilateral talks between Ukraine, Russia and the US aimed at ending the war in Ukraine has concluded in Abu Dhabi.

While senior officials from Kyiv and Moscow were tight-lipped after the four hour-long discussions – due to resume on Wednesday – US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who did not attend the talks, said they had been “very productive”.

Although expectations for a breakthrough that ends Russia’s full-scale war on Ukraine are low, US officials said earlier that Moscow and Kyiv were privately showing “a little bit of flexibility” on the issue of who would control Ukraine’s eastern regions in a postwar scenario.

Mark Carney cranks up immigration again, while pretending not to

Mark Carney cranks up immigration again, while pretending not to

On Friday afternoon, which is the unofficial time for governments everywhere to publish information they hope no one will pay much attention to, Canada’s federal government came out with some news: It has decided to again loosen restrictions on the hiring of low-wage temporary foreign workers.

The government didn’t frame it quite like that, of course. Instead, it announced what it called “targeted reforms” to “respond to labour market needs,” which is a much more polite way of saying it will facilitate the continuing suppression of Canadian wages by allowing employers to hire from abroad, rather than improve worker incentives domestically.

Hegseth rips impeachment effort in first press conference since May: ‘This is not patriotism. This is sabotage’

Hegseth rips impeachment effort in first press conference since May: ‘This is not patriotism. This is sabotage’

WASHINGTON — War Secretary Pete Hegseth went on a fiery tirade Tuesday against Rep. Thomas Massie over his bid to impeach the Pentagon chief, accusing the “rogue legislator” of “sabotage.”

Hegseth, who took the unprecedented step of campaigning against Massie’s (R-Ky.) bid for re-election earlier this year while leading the US military, insisted that he has done nothing worthy of being just the third cabinet official in US history to be impeached, adding: “This is not patriotism. This is sabotage.”

LILLEY: Carney’s sovereign wealth fund pick is more global than Canadian

LILLEY: Carney’s sovereign wealth fund pick is more global than Canadian

Mark Carney’s choice to head up Canada’s sovereign wealth fund is a Democrat donor and Young Global Leader at the World Economic Forum. Karen Karniol-Tambour, a resident of the affluent town of Norwalk, Ct., and currently the co-chief investment officer of an American hedge fund, will soon head up the Canada Strong Fund.

Carney always chooses the right grifter.

‘Another invasion’ – More illegal migrants have already landed on Spanish Canary Islands than all last year, could reach 30,000

‘Another invasion’ – More illegal migrants have already landed on Spanish Canary Islands than all last year, could reach 30,000

The Spanish Canary Islands have already recorded more irregular sea arrivals in 2026 than in all of 2025, with police reports indicating the archipelago could close the year above 30,000 people.

A sharp late-year acceleration, concentrated on the small island of El Hierro, has overwhelmed local services and drawn sharp criticism from regional leaders and right-leaning parties in Spain.

Activists hoist Palestinian flag at Germany’s Reichstag

An anti-Israel protester scaled a 30m pole outside the Reichstag to replace the German flag with a Palestinian one.

The 22-year-old climbed the flagpole in Berlin’s Platz der Republik on Sunday and threw the Flag of Unity to the ground. The 60 sq metre banner is the largest national flag in Germany.

While suspended at the top of the mast, the Peacefully Against Genocide activist unfurled the Palestinian flag with the assistance of two other men, who were 20 and 32.

The Feminization Of America

The Feminization Of America

In 1920, with the ratification of the 19th Amendment, America commenced an experiment whose consequences are still unfolding. Women’s suffrage was only the beginning. Over the ensuing century, women steadily expanded their influence in work, education, government, politics, nonprofits, NGOs, and institutions shaping American life. Women now outnumber men on college campuses and have begun to dominate certain institutions.

Welcome to the Age of Yookay Hieroglyphics

Welcome to the Age of Yookay Hieroglyphics

One of the markers future historians will use when describing the New Dark Ages will be the collapse in the use of the alphabet in favour of ‘Yookay Hieroglyphics’. A demoralising development has emerged: a whole new form of pictographic language whereby children and young adults engage in hours-long online conversations with each other without the need for any letters, texts or words. Such conversations largely occur on gaming platforms, Snapchat and WhatsApp, and mark a classic regressive step in civilisational decline.
