Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ family speaks out after rapper’s head injury in prison

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ loved ones are shutting down “completely false” reports he got into a fight with a Jamaican drug lord over the weekend.

Loren LoRosa told “Breakfast Club” listeners Thursday that she “spoke to a family member of” the embattled rapper’s family who insisted “there was not a fight at all” despite TMZ’s recent claim otherwise.

The denial comes after Combs, 56, was sent to a hospital Saturday for a head injury he incurred during his stay at the Fort Dix prison in New Jersey.

UK: Four out of five new jobs went to foreigners in the past decade, new report reveals

Four in five jobs created over the past decade have been taken by migrants.

Of the 3.7million new roles recorded under the PAYE system since 2014, just 734,000 were taken by UK nationals, a think-tank has found.

EU citizens accounted for 408,000 jobs, while the vast majority – 2.5million – went to migrants from the rest of the world, the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) said, with most of the surge coming since the pandemic.

GOLDSTEIN: Weasel words led to Canada’s recognition of Palestine

GOLDSTEIN: Weasel words led to Canada’s recognition of Palestine

It now seems clear that Prime Minister Mark Carney misled Canadians when he said, in recognizing the Palestinian state on July 30, 2025, that Canada’s support was “predicated on the Palestinian Authority’s commitment to much-needed reforms.”

Carney is as big if not a bigger liar than Trudeau. Watch what he does not what he says.

What you need to know about the ‘mother of all bombs’ as Trump looks to end Iran war

President Donald Trump is weighing new military options against Iran that could include the largest non-nuclear bomb in the U.S. arsenal, as his administration faces mounting pressure to end the war as the November midterm elections approach.

The plans would only be carried out if Trump orders a resumption of major combat operations.

This Condescending, Preachy, Woke Political Lecture Brought to You by Ticketmaster

If you are a masochist and wanted to see Bruce Springsteen perform live this year, you would have paid anywhere between $87 and $3,000 for one ticket. In return for your hard-earned cash, the over-the-hill, woke son of New Jersey would have sung some of your favorite Springsteen tunes, and the E Street Band would have ably backed up its aging leader and, when called upon, covered for him when he got winded on stage, lost his mojo, or even tripped and fell on stage.

All the ways the Alberta referendum could result in an October surprise

All the ways the Alberta referendum could result in an October surprise

With just days to go before Albertans vote on whether to pursue independence, polls suggest residents who want to stay in Canada have a safe lead. Support for remaining is in the high 60s, while the leave sentiment is in the low 20s. But it could go differently. Pollsters have been wrong before, even on separatist votes. The National Post’s Joseph Brean surveys various possibilities for how this referendum on a referendum could turn out to be an October surprise.

German Migration System Has Cost Taxpayer at Least €400 Billion: Report

German Migration System Has Cost Taxpayer at Least €400 Billion: Report

The German government has spent at least 400 billion euros on its immigration system since former chancellor Angela Merkel sparked the European Migrant crisis, a leading author has calculated.

While the political and economic establishment in Berlin attempted to sell the mass influx of foreigners into Germany as an economic boon that would provide the needed panacea to avoid the financial pitfalls of demographic decline, the decision to fling open the gates of Europe to migrants from Africa and the Middle East appears to have been far more costly than any forecasts by open-borders advocates a decade ago.

TD Among 4 Major Banks That Used SPLC in Adverse Decisions Affecting Conservative, Christian Groups, Federal Review Finds

Four of America’s largest banks relied on the Southern Poverty Law Center in decisions affecting conservative and religious organizations, according to a newly released federal debanking report.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency report, released Wednesday, details instances involving JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, PNC Bank, and TD Bank, all of which referenced the SPLC while denying loans to organizations or closing their accounts. The SPLC‘s map of hate groups lists some mainstream conservative and Christian groups alongside Klan chapters, due to the groups’ views on marriage, immigration, critical race theory, or opposition to radical Islam.


TD was BIG Gay until recently ending support for Toronto’s Pride con. But they still hate Christians.

God, guns and grievances: Alberta’s separatists make their case for independence

It’s barely 8 a.m. and Darcy Gerow is talking about tearing Alberta’s political system down to its very foundations.

Gerow, a podcaster and former deputy leader of the Libertarian Party of Canada, is addressing a crowd of Alberta separatists in a low-ceilinged conference room a few minutes’ drive from the Calgary airport. In his speech, called “the anarcho-capitalist case for Alberta,” he advocates for a system of government by the same name, which would privatize all aspects of society.

“The long-term goal is the complete replacement of state monopoly,” Gerow said.

France’s hard-Right candidate Marine Le Pen has accused Europe of waging a war over energy with Russia and vowed to stop funding Ukraine should she win next year’s presidential election.

Ms Le Pen, who is a front-runner in the polls, pledged to stop bilateral aid for Kyiv within six months, saying France can no longer afford it.

She claimed the ‘honest thing’ the EU should do would be to tell Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky it ‘can’t manage’ to financially support his cause any more.
