Kier Starmer’s government has announced plans to pass a new online safety act that will ban children under 13 from using social media. To assure that children cannot gain access, adults will be required to confirm their identification every time they access the internet. The plan is seen as a scheme to track adult online users, not to protect children from the dangers of the internet.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has unveiled sweeping new restrictions that will force social media users to verify their identity before accessing major online platforms, as part of a nationwide crackdown that will ban children under 16 from social media altogether.

The move has triggered alarm among free speech advocates, privacy campaigners, and critics of government surveillance, who warn that the policy represents a major step toward a digital ID system for Internet access.

Under the plan, platforms including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, X, and YouTube will be required to block users under 16, while all users will be forced to undergo age verification checks.

If Northern Ireland is a bellwether of what’s to come in broader Britian, the ordered protests in front of police stations are about to be replaced with organized targeted assaults on migrant strongholds.

After as Sudanese migrant was caught attempting to behead a disabled Irishman on a street in Belfast, the youth of the city have taken to burning down the migrants’ apartment complexes as well as targeting any other administrative structures of migrant power. Calls by the progressives of the UK for calm, so far, are being met with derision.

We have been following the fallout from the video of a Sudanese migrant in Belfast allegedly attempting to behead a local man in a violent knife attack captured on video.

The incident has sparked anti-immigration protests across Northern Ireland, with demonstrators gathering in Belfast, blocking roads, and setting vehicles on fire amid rising tensions.

The victim of this incident has been identified as Stephen Ogilvie, who has reportedly lost his left eye and suffered severe injuries to his face as a result of the brutal attack.

Stephen Ogilvie, thought to be 44, suffered injuries to both eyes after Sudanese migrant Hadi Alodid, 30, allegedly tried to behead him late Monday night, the Sun reported.

Barbaric video footage showed Ogilvie being pinned under the knifeman — with a horrified witness heard crying, “He’s trying to cut his head off. He’s slicing his head off.”

Ogilvie suffered serious injuries to his right eye and had deep slash wounds in his head, face and back, the hearing in Belfast was told.

Alodid was identified for the first time as he appeared in court Wednesday on charges of attempted murder and possessing a blade.

A new poll from the European Council on Foreign Relations found that only 1 in 10 Europeans consider the U.S. an ally, while only 50% viewed the U.S. as a “necessary partner.” 25% of those polled consider the U.S. an adversary.

Just one in every 10 Europeans now sees the U.S. as an ally, according to a major new poll conducted by the European Council on Foreign Relations across 15 European countries.

In what the think tank described as a “collapse in European faith in the U.S.,” only 11% of the nearly 20,000 European respondents now consider America an ally, down from 16% six months ago and 22% in November 2024.

Half of those polled view the U.S. as a “necessary partner,” while 25% see America as a rival or an adversary. The percentage of respondents who view the U.S. as a rival or an adversary grew in several countries, especially Denmark, France, Spain and Switzerland.

The British police arrived on a bloody scene in Hampshire, England. An Englishman, Henry Nowak, aged 18, had been stabbed by a Sikh man. The man accused Henry of being racist, so the police arrested the young man, not the Sikh who stabbed him.

The young man bled out while trying to convince the police he wasn’t a racist. The Sikh has already been found guilty of the murder. The police apologized for letting the young man bleed to death because they were afraid he might be racist.

A Sikh man who claimed to have been the victim of a racist attack has been found guilty of murder for the slaying of student Henry Nowak, the death of whom became notorious after it was revealed he was handcuffed by police and ignored while he bled to death.

A murderer who lied to police about having repeatedly stabbed a teenager, and covered for himself by telling a “wicked lie” about his victim having committed racist abuse against him, has been found guilty by a jury at Southampton Crown Court in Hampshire, England this afternoon. Police welcomed the conviction, but also apologised for having believed the knifeman’s lies, meaning Anglo-Polish victim Henry Nowak’s last conscious moments were spent handcuffed explaining that he’d been stabbed, while being told he was making it up.

After the guilty verdict was read out, it was revealed an anti-“two tier policing” protest had been called for Thursday night outside Southampton Central Police Station over the force’s reflexive instinct to believe the racism accusation while ignoring the factual stabbing report.

The jury of eight women and four men started their deliberations at lunchtime on Wednesday and found 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa guilty of murder on Thursday afternoon. Digwa was also found guilty of carrying a knife in a public place. Digwa’s mother, Kiran Kaur was also found guilty on her charge of assisting an offender by removing the murder weapon from the scene and stashing it at their family home.

The BBC reports Digwa showed no emotion as the jury reported, that Kaur was “visibly upset”, and that “sobs” could be heard from the public gallery.

Killer Digwa will be sentenced on Monday, the judge said. Mother Kaur’s sentencing is to be delayed until July 17th to allow the preparation of a pre-sentencing report, reports Sky News.

As previously reported, Nowak and Digwa met by chance in the city of Southampton on December 3rd 2025. The court heard that accountancy and finance student Nowak had been out socialising with friends from his student football team and had consumed alcohol that evening but at his time of death was not intoxicated and could have legally driven a car.

A mob of far-left progressive anti-Israel terrorists assaulted Jews as they were coming out of their synagogue. When cops arrived, the mobs attacked the cops. The response from Mamdani’s office has been tepid, with only three arrests announced as a follow-up.

NYC Police Arrest Three After Anti-Israel Mob Ambushes Synagogue legalinsurrection.com

EXCERPT:

 

New York City police arrested three people after an anti-Israel mob swarmed the Young Israel Senior Services of Midwood in Brooklyn on Monday night.

The synagogue hosted “an event promoting real estate in Israel and the West Bank.”

The anti-Israel group Pal-Awda NY/NJ organized the protest. The group uses “slogans such as ‘No settlers on stolen land’ and ‘Stop the sale of stolen Palestinian land.’”

New York State Sen. Sam Sutton condemned the event.

“Neither of these protests would have happened had these venues not chosen to host illegal sales of stolen Palestinian land,” the group responded. “The people of New York will not stand by while the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people is aided and abetted by institutions in our own city.”

From The New York Post:

The anti-Israel mob chanted “Palestine is ours alone,” and several carried a wide banner that read “Israel is killing children.”

During one fight, a person who concealed their face with a medical mask yanked a girl’s hair — and nearly threw her against a parked car in the process, according to a video obtained by The Post.

Shortly after, another man squared up against a squad of young men carrying a Palestinian flag.

“Let’s go, motherf–kers, c’mon! C’mon, motherf–kers!” the man yelled.

At least two teenage pro-Israel protesters were detained. As the NYPD marched them down the streets, their supporters followed and chanted for the cops to “let them go.”

An anti-Israel protester was also detained, cops said.

All three individuals taken into custody had thrown items during the heated protest, according to the NYPD.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

April 2026 was dominated by the Iran War and the continued breakneck development of AI and the institutions now forming around the technology.

The world continues to adjust itself to rapidly shifting dynamics of both AI’s development and the culmination of a century-plus “debate” between local national sovereignties and a global governance model, a debate muddled by the question of the role of ethnicity in that dynamic.

In the U.S., two competing nations, Conservative US and Progressive US, are becoming clearer to see, while America is still harder to see among the two and between them.

There have been no sudden downturns or upturns in the economy, which is still largely responding to the Iran War and AI development.

U.S. POLITICS

BACKGROUND:

1.1. 2026 ELECTIONSA lot of major shifts in the GOP’s midterm prospects occurred this month, ending with the most recent, the SCOTUS ruling overthrowing race-based gerrymandering. It began with a major loss for the GOP, a Virginia referendum that promises to eliminate 4 GOP seats in the U.S. House. That election has yet to be certified, and there are serious doubts it will ever be certified.

President Trump’s executive order attempting to eliminate mass mailer elections may be more show than substance, though Red States have been moving to end mass mailer elections, as well as require Photo ID to vote.

While the Democrats were still celebrating their Virginia win, the GOP managed to hold the Marjorie Taylor Greene seat. Finally, SCOTUS delivered another victory for the GOP by approving a Texas redistricting map that eliminates 4 Democrat seats in the House.

1.2. CONSERVATIVE USTwo recent actions connected to FISA highlight the difference between Conservative US and America. The first action saw efforts by some members within the GOP to kill the Biden Vehicle Kill Switch mandate defeated by the top leadership of the GOP.

The second action saw the FISA courts challenging the use of a search spy tool by the government, only to see the Trump administration appeal their decision.

In previous reports, we’ve described this land as being occupied by three nations, Progressive US, Conservative US, and America. Within Conservative US and Progressive US there are still Americans who have not quite figured that out yet.

Here, with FISA, we see how conservatives consistently side with Law and Order over Dangerous Liberty when it comes to national security threats.

1.2. PROGRESSIVE FUNDINGWhile we at MIA are skeptical about the efficacy of the charges against the Southern Poverty Law Center by the DOJ, we have little doubt the organization is part of a network of progressive operations intended to use fear of the white devil to raise money and gain real market power.

Charges against the SPLC have at least gotten conservatives to look closer at the methodologies deployed by progressives to infiltrate institutions and win billions in contributions from the targeted corporations.

Unions are a part of that network, especially public-school teachers’ unions, which have become powerhouses in terms of boots on the ground action (from the teachers and their coopted children) and capital.

At least $1 billion in the last 10 years, that we know of, have been contributed by teachers’ unions to progressive organizations, including protest organizations.

1.3. TRUMP DEPORTATIONSOn the last day of the month, the U.S. House passed funding of the DHS, essentially ending the shutdown and allowing more robust deportation operations to pick back up (but nowhere near the peak levels of the first few months). This comes as over 1,000 TSA officers have quit during the DHS shutdown.

A 9th circuit panel restored ICE’s right to use non-violent force to clear crowds before they turn violent, but by only a 2-1 vote. The majority offered an excoriating rebuttal of the District Judge.

An Appeals Court panel ruling struck down the Trump administration’s assertion it can hold immigrants indefinitely without bond hearings. The ruling was unanimous, and it included a Trump appointed Judge.

The panel wrote, “The government’s interpretation…would send a seismic shock through our immigration detention system and society, straining our already overcrowded detention infrastructure, incarcerating millions, separating families, and disrupting communities.”

The idea of holding an individual, even a non-citizen, indefinitely, without any attempt at a resolution of their case, seems on its face unconstitutional, and a dangerous precedent to want to set. This is another example of Conservative US, not America, in action.

Progressive states continue to pass legislation designed to punish ICE agents and protect illegal aliens. Tom Steyer, the Democrat’s Gubernatorial front runner in the California jungle primary, is promising to lock ICE officers up. California is also working to pass a law that would pay for legal fees for illegal aliens.

1.4. THE FIRST CASUALTIES? – Two high-profile Democrats have faced significant consequences, with one, James Comey, facing charges related to allegedly threating the President online, and the other, Eric Swalwell, losing his political career.

Comey’s charges seem hard to prove, even if we all understand the intent behind the message, “86 47” in the season of political violence we find ourselves in. If Comey is intended to appease the people without satisfying the people, the appeasement won’t work. Conservatives want convictions and prison cells with progressives locked in them.

Seeing Swalwell be abandoned so quickly by his party for accusations of sexual abuse that remain to be clearly proven suggests he was becoming a liability for far more reasons than the sexual abuse charges.

This is the man who had a Chinese Communist Party spy girlfriend. He is now out of the California Governor’s Race (where he was once a frontrunner) and out of congress altogether.

ASSESSMENT – The 2026 Election is looking more and more like an election no one wants to win, though surely, they do. While conservatives aren’t talking about the Epstein files with regularity, it’s not often far away from the conservation.

The growing skepticism with the Iran war, along with the still unresolved Epstein Files controversy is causing the GOP and Trump to lose support.

The courts have delivered some big wins for the GOP that have unleased a ripple effect which is sure to be the lead political story over the coming weeks and months. Progressive and conservative states are now scrambling to react to those rulings, especially the SCOTUS ruling ending race-based gerrymandering.

Progressives appear to have committed to the narrative that they can’t be the violent ones if they are using violence to stop violent people. They are escaping accusations they are responsible for the political violence by claiming their targets deserve it. Watch to see if Progressives start to use a new term to define their nation, a term that distinguishes them from America.

GEOPOLITICS

BACKGROUND – A quiet announcement by Secretary of State Marco Rubio that the U.S. might reduce its military presence by 80% in Europe sets the backdrop for the geopolitical bellwethers we have identified for April 2026.

1.1. CHINA China has been pushing a narrative many nations, especially in the West, want to hear, the U.S. World Order is crumbling and the world needs a new order. China is positioning itself to be the alternative to the U.S.

The fecklessness of its military hardware as used by Iran against U.S. forces might have an effect China has yet to see. For now, China is still seemingly making inroads into Europe through nations like Croatia. It is also competing healthily for influence in Africa in ways that are interfering with U.S. policy.

At home it faces fear of mass riots, a fear it is hoping to assuage with AI-led robot and drone riot control armies.

Iran has had a significant impact on its economy, and it continues to do so, yet the progressive media at home paints China as the winner in the Iran War so far.

1.2. IRAN WARAn increasing number of nations are either coming out against the U.S. war with Iran, or claiming the U.S. is failing. Germany and the UK are two nations that have joined that list. The narrative that the dominance of the U.S. military is now over is proliferating in progressive corporate news not just domestically, but internationally as well.

The administration reaching out to car manufacturers for weapons manufacturing help has only strengthened the failing U.S. effort narrative.

The Russians, for the first time, perhaps emboldened by the corporate news narrative, are now staking their public reputation on protecting Iran from another massive U.S. assault. The Chinese have not joined them in that boldness, so far

With Iran’s Supreme Leader recently making comments that the U.S. is about to be destroyed in the Strait, Trump seems satisfied to mostly stay pat, for now, despite dipping approval numbers overall and on the war.

1.3. UKRAINE WARAfter a terrorist attack in Kyiv, President Zelensky of Ukraine has ordered personnel purges at the Ministry of International Affairs. The attacker opened fire on civilians in a supermarket, killing 8 and injuring 13 others. No one in the supermarket was allowed to carry a gun legally. There is talk of softening gun laws so terrorists can’t simply target unarmed populations.

Right before he lost his re-election bid, Prime Minister Orban of Hungary accused the Ukrainians of being essentially a money-laundering scheme for progressives in America. The Ukrainians would get the war funding and a certain amount would be siphoned off and sent back to the states to fund progressive organizations, including protest organizations.

1.4. UKWhile Kier Starmer Watch has started, the Prime Minister of Britian has not yet resigned or hinted at resigning after it has been made clear he protected associates of Jeffrey Epstein that later became leading members of his government.

Yet even as he faces this pressure, he is yet attempting to maneuver to push Britain back into the EU without having a vote on it.

Their King came over to America and made a political speech challenging most of Trump’s important policies, including his deportation policy, his anti-DEI policies, and his war in Iran.

After another terrorist attack by an Islamist, this time targeting Jews, Restore Britian is becoming an increasing threat to the Conservative and Labour world order. Restore Britian is to America what no political party is to America today, a party that truly represents the nation from which multiple nations have sprung.

In Britian, there are the progressives of Britian, Labour, though the Greens are increasingly becoming the mantle-holders of that movement. There are the conservatives, who, like the conservatives in America, have a lot more Britishers within them than the progressives do, but they’re not quite truly “British” either.

They don’t stand for the same standards as the country that bore them.

Like the progressives of America, the progressives of the UK are very much anti-British in whole and in part, and like the progressives of America, they use the white devil trope as the primary means of creating moral-supremacist political power (backed up first by progressive corporations, including the media, and now by the government itself).

The fruit of progressivism in the UK is seeing shoplifting across the country hit record highs and the country’s birth rate going negative, meaning there are more deaths than births each year.

ASSESSMENT – The UK is becoming the bellwether of the progressive agenda, having aggressively pursued it more than any other western nation, including Canada (which is not far behind). Now, that ideology is coming to a head as its allies, namely the Islamists, appear ready to claim power under their own banners.

The response is the formation of a national party with a national interest serving specific indigenous ethnicities.

Nations of the world that have embraced progressivism, especially European ones, should be studying the results to come in the UK over the next two years. How the UK goes will largely indicate how Europe’s progressive nations go.

Does nationalism win without becoming fascistic or authoritarian in general? Do the Islamists remain the last faction standing? Or does the UK balkanize or descent into civil war?

Here, the battleground is largely built on the old-world order. In Iran, that war is increasingly becoming one that is both built on the new world order and creating it. On that front, the U.S. appears to have needed a pause, and the world has figured that out, which has emboldened its critics.

This strengthens China’s foreign presence as they look like an increasingly attractive alternative.

As we have said in a previous Sitrep, nations that cannot build impressive AI machines of their own must be useful to those that can. Germany is the only Western European country well-suited for AI machine development, though they are years away from reaching that potential.

CULTURE

BACKGROUND:

1.1. ABORTIONThere have been a few victories this month for the pro-life camp and setbacks, but the biggest victory comes from the news that undercover reporters who exposed Planned Parenthood for selling deceased fetuses will no longer face charges which have loomed over them for years.

1.2. EUTHANASIAAfter a U.S. citizen was euthanized by Spanish authorities, President Trump has questions. The person had been gang raped and soon after sought euthanasia. Signs she was second-guessing were ignored.

Euthanasia is spreading worldwide and gaining ground even here in the U.S. Wherever it is legalized, the fight to expand those eligible for suicide starts, and the expanders usually win.

Canada is leading the world in its embrace of euthanasia, with efforts to include children as eligible candidates now happening. They recently allowed a partially blind man to be euthanized. There is a pushback, which includes a bill that would halt the expansion for good. In Belgium, euthanasia is becoming big business. In Oregon, assisted suicides are increasing every year, with no end in sight.

1.3. WOKE – Red states continue to enact legislation designed to kill “woke” policies, while blue states seem to be doubling down on them.

SCOTUS appears to be afraid to address public school treatment of children claiming to be non-binary or transgendered, having rejected two challenges to schools that allow for stealth transitioning of the gender of students without parental knowledge or consent.

The Trump administration is also continuing to push policies that challenge any “Woke” policy such as DEI. RFK Jr. just announced hoe would replace the “woke” Obamacare panel determining what type of preventative care is covered.

Progressive judges seem to interpret wokeness as being rule of law rather than the constitution, with a recent ruling by another Federal district judge attempting to stop the Trump XO banning transgender surgery and chemical therapy for children.

Worldwide, “wokeness” is mostly advancing. In Canada, they are preparing to outlaw passages of the bible being publicly read because they condemn homosexuality.

The biggest blow to the woke cause was the indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which allegedly uses threats of market assassination to get funding for progressive organizations.

They also get to insert activists into corporations who can do more work transforming the company from within. This story is a strong contender for a near-future Deep Dive Report, should the charges have substantive evidence behind them.

ASSESSMENT – As we observed in our last SitRep, where Republicans rule, action continues to be taken to stop “woke” or socio-progressive policies, while where Democrats rule, they are accelerating their socio-progressive programs and becoming increasingly overtly hostile to opposition to it.

NOTE: Expect us to start using the term socio-progressive instead of “woke,” as the latter term is more difficult to pin down than the former, and the former more accurately describes the ideology.

Worldwide, euthanasia is advancing more than it’s retreating. Abortion in the U.S. is becoming mostly about taking a pill, not going to a clinic, which is sure to undermine Planned Parenthood’s alleged fetus-selling business.

There is no great movement against euthanasia in America today, and the public opinion polls on abortion have not significantly changed. Abortion continues to be one of the key centers of power for the progressives, who rely on this issue to capture and retain the white female vote.

MARKETS

BACKGROUND:

1.1. IRAN WARThe war is having an increasingly negative effective on much of the world’s economies, though the U.S. stock market has yet to feel the pinch. Even if the war were to end today, the lingering economic impact of the war will last for months, if not years.

Europe is more impacted by the war than the U.S. is, with China also taking a heavy toll from the war.

1.2. TARIFFSThe tariff refund window has opened and corporations around the world are forming virtual lines, each hoping to collect millions. In the case of GM, they’re hoping for over $500 million from the refund window. The total refund amount is $166 billion, which is how much the tariff program collected before SCOTUS struck the tariffs down.

1.3. MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY – AI is fast on its way to becoming a utility as the number of users of AI continue to explode even as its popularity doesn’t. Opposition to Data Centers, for instance, is only growing, and politicians are picking up that scent.

Salesforce is claiming 1,000 new hires are the result of AI, reversing the overall trend of AI replacing human jobs.

Progressive media continues to take hits, with Disney announcing 1,000 more layoffs and Marvel announcing layoffs as well. The biggest announced layoffs come from Meta, which will cut 10% of its workforce, 8,000 jobs, starting this May.

ASSESSMENT – The U.S. economy continues to be trending mostly upward, with inflation holding steady, along with unemployment. What Americans are feeling, however, might not align with some of these numbers, as most Americans are employed in ways that might be replaceable by AI.

The world economy is restructuring itself, with the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz forcing alternative trade routes that might just survive the re-opening. Most of this reshuffle is being driven by preparation for and anticipation of the AI transformation everyone knows is already here.

The geopolitical fallout of the AI reality of power of nations has yet to emerge, and thus a new stable global market order is also going to have to wait until more is known about which nations have what kind of AI power.

The sheer capital need of AI development should create opportunities for flourishing for those paying attention to the industry.

SCI-TECH

BACKGROUND:

1.1. SUSTAINABLE FLOURISHINGHere are four bellwether discoveries from April 2026 that could advance sustainable flourishing for all (even if they were discovered by institutions antithetical to it):

Cryopreservation breakthrough could allow for freezing of transplant organs, extending the time dramatically available to deliver a donor organ to a patient in need.

Forest Waste to become high-performance bioplastics. The breakthrough could create an organic source for plastics which can easily be recycled.

Dirt will power our network of mini devices. Microbes in the soil will become fuel cells for low-power-requiring micro-devices that could be used in a variety of applications, including smart clothing.

Fuel Cell turns coal into electricity without burning it. This breakthrough could enable China to use a resource they have a lot of, coal, without polluting the atmosphere to do so. China is the number one coal producer in the world.

1.2. DEFENSE TECHThe Pentagon is seeking a record $1.5 trillion budget to pay for more ships, drones, AI development and integration, and even pay raises.

AI is becoming an increasingly dominant aspect of defense tech, with AI set to soon become the design leader, not fulfiller. AI will reshape the battlefield in ways that not even AI can currently predict.

The frontline of defense tech is AI integration and cheap drone hordes, along with cheap drone horde defense. Ukraine continues to be the frontline of drone development in the world, but the Iran War is teaching the U.S., and Iran, as well as observers, significant lessons as well. Yet those lessons might soon be moot after drone development starts to come from AI itself.

1.3. AI WATCHWe have mentioned AI creating 1,000 jobs in Salesforce. Now, AI has created the “Omniverse,” a place where you can test your whole manufacturing process in virtual environments that mimic the real close enough to make the results transferable to the material world. You can test your product from design to build to test, and cycle through until the design works.

The Americans have claimed they’ve created a computer chip that can survive temperatures as high as 1300 degrees Fahrenheit. The current chip max temperature tolerance is around 200, which is what makes data centers so water dependent. A chip such as this would significantly reduce the need for cooling, which is why data centers require so much water.

Thanks to AI, robots are becoming more high functioning, which can be seen in war. In the Ukraine War, the first ever military surrender of troops to robots was recorded when Russian troops surrendered to Ukrainian robots. China is now working on creating riot bots and drones in anticipation of mass protests.

The AI wars are only going to get hotter, with China signaling the way when it prevented an American company, Meta, from purchasing a Chinese AI agent company, Mantus. The U.S. has also ordered companies to stop sending certain chips to a Chinese chipmaker.

ASSESSMENT – Opportunities for sustainable flourishing technological development continue to happen on a near-daily basis. Yet opportunities for authoritarian technological development also continue to happen as well. AI is an aid to both.

The key technological developments we are looking for are ones that shrink the cost and resource demand of building and sustaining AI machines and their remote brains (data centers). We have little doubt breakthroughs like the computer chip that can sustain super-hot temperatures are on the way.

Be wary of building too big, too fast, for the next generation of AI machines and remote brains might be a lot less demanding, but every bit as powerful, as those massive AI machines.

OVERALL ASSESSMENT

President Trump is settling in to being a professional politician leading Conservative US, not America. It seems like more Americans are realizing this. His support is not flagging because MAGA has changed their mind, it is flagging because Americans within his movement are starting to see his un-American tendencies.

While the Democrats are doubling down on their violent rhetoric, news of their demise seems hasty, as they continue to do well in the 2026 midterm polls.

The republicans are losing support from a base that sees them as what we at MIA see them as, the rear guard of the progressives, controlled opposition. Their passage of DHS funding will help offset that trend.

We continue to wait for an American movement similar to Restore Britain in the UK, sans the ethnic element. Britian is a nation-state, an ethnic-based state, while America is not. An American party would put Americans first, but that would not be race-dependent, it would be citizen-dependent.

As humans begin to adjust to an AI reality, they are also seeing the culmination of two radically different approaches to human organizing, the ethnic-based nation state versus the global state.

The progressives support the end of local sovereignties and the creation of a global sovereignty, where most of human history has followed more ethnic-based states. Even empires, more often than not, had a ruling ethnicity (like the Persians over their Empire).

Islamists are aligned with a global state, though theirs is a caliphate. This is one of the many reasons Islamists and Progressives are natural early allies. The more they both face beliefs that create local and individual sovereignty, the more likely they will form alliances.

Nations have been torn apart by the progressives’ attempts to reform landscapes ethnically so a global structure could more easily emerge. By inserting foreigners into localities, they hoped to destroy the local sense of sovereignty. They certainly hoped to do this at the national scale as well.

Now, the battle has come to a head, and we are about to find out how it might all play out, and the UK might just be the first nation to clearly show the results.

America’s major AI companies, including Google and Microsoft, have agreed to submit all new AI models to the Federal government’s Commerce Department for a national security safety review/ This review will be conducted by the Commerce Department’s Center for AI Standards.

After a lower court issued an injunction temporarily blocking the abortion pill from being delivered through the mail, SCOTUS has lifted the injunction. The abortion pill will continue to be available online until the matter is fully adjudicated in the courts. The ruling could make abortion an issue in the 2026 midterms. This is an issue that favors the Democrats.

Abortion pill rulings bring the issue back to the forefront in a midterm election year – 10TV

Excerpt:

Back-to-back court rulings on abortion pill access are thrusting a contentious political issue back into the spotlight ahead of this year’s midterm elections that will determine control of Congress for the second half of President Donald Trump’s term.

Friday’s ruling from a federal appeals court restricted mail access to mifepristone prescriptions, one of the most common abortion methods around the country, in the biggest shift to federal abortion policy since the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision allowing states to enforce abortion bans.

The Supreme Court then temporarily restored broad access to the drug on Monday while it further considers the case, setting the stage for a potential decision that could have wide-ranging consequences for patients and providers.

Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) is still trying to kill what is being called the Biden Vehicle Kill Switch. This is a requirement by the government that all car manufacturers create a vehicle kill switch that car owners cannot deactivate. So far, he has failed. This latest effort has also failed, with the Johnson-led House passing FISA renewal ahead of Thursday’s deadline.

Roy proposed an amendment to the FISA renewal act that effectively kills the Biden kill switch. Roy said, “Republicans should not be continuing a blatantly invasive Biden-era policy that enables round-the-clock monitoring of Americans in their own cars. That’s why I introduced an amendment to FISA to eliminate the ‘kill switch’ and stop this Big Brother technology from being built into new vehicles.”

The vehicle kill switch may be getting another chance to be killed in Congress this week as a member of the House Rules Committee wants to repeal legislation that directs automakers to install surveillance technology on all new vehicles starting in 2027.

Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, a committee member and influential congressman on the conservative House Freedom Caucus, says the Biden-era mandate poses “a direct threat to our Fourth Amendment rights.”

“Republicans should not be continuing a blatantly invasive Biden-era policy that enables round-the-clock monitoring of Americans in their own cars,” Roy told The Daily Signal while the possibility of the amendment was still being discussed by the Rules Committee.

“That’s why I introduced an amendment to FISA to eliminate the ‘kill switch’ and stop this Big Brother technology from being built into new vehicles.”

This is Roy’s second attempt at killing the kill switch this year.

The need for an amendment already has large support from House conservatives, including Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky.; Scott Perry, R-Pa.; and Keith Self, R-Texas.

“The government should never have the ability to remotely kill your car or anything else you own,” Self told The Daily Signal. “When a group of us conservatives in the House tried to repeal this Joe Biden-era mandate set to take effect next year, 57 Republicans teamed up with 211 Democrats to stop us. That’s unacceptable.”

A powerful surveillance authority that the U.S. government uses to spy on foreigners cleared the House on Wednesday, resolving one stalemate that threatened to derail its renewal before it expires this week.

It now faces hurdles in the Senate.

The controversial spy tool, known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, is set to lapse Thursday. Congress approved a 10-day extension ahead of the original April 20 deadline.

After House GOP opposition forced days of delay, the lower chamber advanced the measure earlier Wednesday in a procedural vote that was held open for about two hours as leaders worked to convince holdouts to flip their votes.

The House passed the measure — which is formatted as an amendment to an unrelated bill — in a 235 to 191 vote later in the day.

Section 702, which was first authorized in 2008, allows the government to collect the communications of noncitizens located outside the U.S. without a warrant, though it can also sweep up the data of Americans who are in contact with the targeted foreigners. The FBI is able to search Americans’ data gathered through the program without a warrant.

National security officials have long argued that the law is vital for disrupting terrorist plots, foreign espionage, international drug trafficking and cyber intrusions.

If you read scripture in public that condemns homosexuality, you might soon be jailed in Canada if Canada’s latest Bill C-9 passes. The proposed law would define “harm” as making public statements protected groups would find offensive.

She quoted Leviticus. Now she faces prison. Finnish MP Päivi Räsänen did not incite violence. She did not threaten anyone. She simply stated what Christians have believed for 2,000 years: that certain behaviors are sinful according to Scripture. For this, she has been prosecuted, threatened, and targeted — and now watches as Canada races down the same road with Bill C-9.

This is not about one law in one country. It is about a global redefinition of “harm” that criminalizes the very act of holding traditional religious beliefs. Räsänen’s case reveals the new logic: Offense is violence. Disagreement is hate. And the state now decides which doctrines are permissible and which are punishable.

After Islamists led a successful offensive across Mali, Russian forces withdrew, while junta forces failed to stop the assaults. Not only did the Islamists successfully disrupt multiple cities, but they also killed the country’s defense minister and gained territory in northern areas. The assault puts the junta’s power in jeopardy, especially given Russia’s disengagement.

It is hard to overstate the sense of shock reverberating across West Africa after attackers, in co-ordinated assaults, managed to enter Mali’s capital, Bamako, assassinate the defence minister and seize control of northern areas.

Residents in different cities across the country woke to gunfire and explosions on Saturday – attacks which an alliance of two groups – the separatist Azawad Liberation Front (FLA) and the al-Qaeda-linked JNIM group – said they were behind.

The scale of the offensive and the withdrawal of Malian and Russian forces from the northern city of Kidal, now under FLA control, have fuelled doubts about the strength of the military government led by Col Assimi Goïta, who came to power in a coup in August 2020.

It has taken Goïta several days to make an appearance since the offensive, prompting questions about the junta’s future, as well as the role of Russian forces deployed in Mali and neighbouring countries to tackle the security threat.

Mali has been plunged into its worse security crisis in more than a decade after Tuareg separatists and al Qaeda-linked jihadist fighters joined forces to launch sweeping attacks on Saturday, delivering a huge setback for its ruling military junta and its Russian allies.

Insurgents struck the main army base outside the capital Bamako and killed General Sadio Camara, the country’s defence minister, further undermining the junta’s claim that it is restoring order to impoverished West African nation that has long battled Islamist militants and separatist rebellions. The violence also saw rebel forces drive Russian mercenaries out of the key northern city of Kidal.

Two Jewish Londoners were stabbed Wednesday in north London following a series of arson attacks targeting Jewish sites in the area, as the prime minister and mayor of London led condemnation of the “appalling” assaults.

A man was arrested after he was seen running with a knife “attempting to stab Jewish members of the public”, the Shomrim Jewish neighbourhood watch said on social media.

It added that two people were stabbed and were being treated by Hatzola, a Jewish volunteer ambulance service.

The incident in the British capital took place in Golders Green, home to a large Jewish community.

It comes in the wake of a spate of arson attacks on synagogues and community sites in north London in recent weeks.

Pressure mounts on the disgraced chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Karim Khan, who was forced to “step aside” from his position in May 2025 after serious sexual assault allegations. Newly revealed witness testimony states that Qatar promised to “look after” him if he continued the witch hunt against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday

Following a May 2024 request by Khan, the Hague-based ICC issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for the crime of overseeing a military operation to free 240 hostages from Hamas’ captivity in the aftermath of the October 7 massacre. By issuing the warrant, the ICC was requiring its 125 member states, including most of the European nations, to arrest the sitting Israeli prime minister and hand him over to the kangaroo court.

The latest testimony and supporting evidence also indicate that Republican Senator Lindsey Graham was a target of the operation. The Qatar-linked “intelligence operation also sought to target two Americans: Tom Lynch, the senior ICC official who first reported the assault allegation, and Sen. Lindsey Graham,” the business daily added.

The White House is warning lawmakers that funding used to pay personnel at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is close to being depleted, sounding the alarm about potential disruptions to airport security and other critical operations if Congress does not act soon.

In a memo sent late Tuesday, the Office of Management and Budget cautioned that stopgap funding measures used to cover payroll for agencies such as the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) could be exhausted as early as May. The administration urged the House of Representatives to move quickly on a budget resolution already approved by the Senate, describing the situation as increasingly urgent.

“DHS will soon run out of critical operating funds, placing essential personnel and operations at risk,” the memo stated.

The warning comes as the House faces internal divisions that have slowed progress on legislation aimed at restoring full funding to the department. Speaker Mike Johnson is navigating disagreements within his narrow Republican majority, leaving the chamber largely stalled on several key issues, including the Homeland Security budget.

Oregon officials declined to cooperate with ICE and released Kumar on April 2, he was caught by immigration authorities April 22.

Federal immigration authorities arrested Rajinder Kumar, an illegal immigrant semi-truck driver accused in a crash that killed an Oregon couple married just 16 days, after local officials released him from jail earlier this month.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, Kumar allegedly jackknifed his semi-truck and trailer on November 24, 2025, blocking both lanes of US Highway 20 in Deschutes County. A Subaru Outback then struck the truck, killing driver William Micah Carter and passenger Jennifer Lynn Lower.

The Department of Homeland Security said Kumar was released from jail on April 2, 2026, after Oregon officials declined to cooperate with ICE. Federal agents arrested him on April 22. Kumar is now being held at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma, Washington, and has been placed in removal proceedings.

As more than two-thirds of U.S. public schools say they already can’t sustain free meals for their students, one economist is sounding the alarms and says the Trump administration’s updated dietary guidelines may make these financial troubles even worse.

For the 2023-2024 school year, the government provided 4.8 billion lunches to the nearly 29.4 million students belonging to the National School Lunch Program, at a cost of $17.7 billion, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture data. Part of this sum takes the form of cash reimbursements to schools serving free or reduced-cost food to students, with free lunch costing roughly $4.70 per student per meal.

Many schools, however, say the assistance they receive to feed students the subsidized meals are not enough. A recent survey of more than 1,170 school nutrition directors from the trade group the School Nutrition Association (SNA) found this year, 69.6% reported insufficient reimbursement rates to cover the cost of school lunches, an increase from 67.4% the previous year. More than half of the directors said there is “serious concern” about the financial sustainability of their school nutrition programs over the next three years, up from 46% from the 2024-2025 school year.

Modern cells are highly intricate systems. They contain internal scaffolding, tightly controlled chemical processes, and genetic instructions that guide nearly everything they do. This complexity allows them to survive in diverse environments and compete based on their fitness. In contrast, the earliest cell-like structures were extremely simple. These primitive compartments were essentially tiny bubbles, where lipid membranes enclosed basic organic molecules. Understanding how such simple protocells eventually gave rise to the complex cells we see today remains a central question in origin-of-life research.

A recent study led by researchers at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at Institute of Science Tokyo takes a closer look at how these early structures might have behaved on ancient Earth. Instead of proposing a single explanation for how life began, the researchers focused on experiments that simulate realistic environmental conditions. Specifically, they examined how variations in membrane composition affect protocell growth, fusion, and the ability to retain important molecules during freeze/thaw cycles.

I didn’t have plans to write about the latest Jimmy Kimmel saga. I thought my colleagues, Scott Pinsker, Catherine Salgado, and Matt Margolis did more than a fine job on that story, and there was really nothing left to say. But then I saw something where the Trump administration sort of pulled a thread from that situation, and it’s at least indirectly tied to another situation—and now the whole thing is unraveling.

Ever since President Donald Trump returned to the White House in January 2025, he and his administration have not wasted a minute trying to implement an agenda that is even larger and more ambitious than the one he laid out on the campaign trail in 2024. Most politicians over-promise and under-deliver. Trump has done the opposite.

The latest example of this comes to us courtesy of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which announced on April 28 that it is moving up its review of the ABC network’s eight local broadcasting licenses over the network’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices.

An 89-year-old gunman allegedly opened fire inside two Athens government buildings Tuesday, wounding at least four people in a rare outbreak of violence that rattled Greece’s tightly controlled gun landscape and ended with his arrest hours later.

Police said the suspect first stormed a social security office, went up to the fourth floor and fired, striking an employee in the leg. Officials said the gunman warned one worker to duck before pulling the trigger, though he didn’t appear to specifically target the employee he hit.

“He went in, went up to the fourth floor, raised his shotgun, told an employee to duck and hit another one,” Alexandros Varveris, head of Greece’s National Social Security Fund, told state broadcaster ERT radio.

The wounded man was treated at the scene, but the suspect fled and later opened fire again inside a courthouse in another part of the city, where several people were wounded.
