The Dutch Are in Last Place’: Geert Wilders’ Explosive Video – ‘The Netherlands Is Becoming More and More an Islamic Country’
Geert Wilders unleashes a fiery campaign video declaring the Dutch shoved to last place in their own homeland as asylum seekers snatch massive homes and billions in taxpayer money, Jetten’s coercion law forces unwanted centers on every town, and the nation slides deeper into becoming “more and more an Islamic country”—demanding an immediate total asylum stop, the end of migrant housing priority, and a fierce halt to Islamization so the Dutch are no longer strangers in their land. That’s the raw reality Wilders is hammering home in the Netherlands right now.

Danish priest says child abuse images were like collecting stamps
“Like collecting stamps.” This is how a Danish priest explains his possession of tens of thousands of child-abuse images and videos. A priest in Zealand is charged with around 80,000 images and almost 2,300 videos depicting child abuse. Hundreds of them are considered serious. Police raided the man in May 2024 following a tip from the file-sharing service Dropbox. Parts of the material were found on the church’s work computer. He has since resigned and will be stripped of the right to work as a priest.

In Munich, Secretary Rubio Calls on Allies to Embrace Shared Heritage, Meet Challenges of New Era 
Today, Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a landmark address at the Munich Security Conference, boldly reaffirming President Donald J. Trump’s commitment to a revitalized transatlantic alliance grounded in mutual strength, shared heritage, and unapologetic defense of Western civilization. Drawing on Europe’s profound Christian foundations and cultural legacy — which helped forge the United States — Secretary Rubio urged European leaders to reclaim their sovereignty, confront common threats, and build a confident, self-reliant continent. Secretary Rubio synthesized President Trump’s America First foreign policy: one that brings sovereign nations together in common purpose, rejects outdated globalist structures, rebuffs self-destructive policies such as unchecked mass migration and climate extremism, and secures prosperity and cultural preservation for future generations. The speech drew widespread acclaim:

Trump increasingly likely to attack Iran – talks with Tehran not going well – but are Trump & Bibi on same page? 
We know Trump and Netanyahu talked about next steps on Iran and Gaza. We don’t know exactly what they said. Nor do we know why they didn’t hold a joint press conference – that wasn’t normal.
Here are three possible reasons they didn’t stick to the normal drill: After three days on the ground here, my sense is that Trump and Netanyahu are, in fact, on the same page regarding Iran. I think they met to finalize – and synchronize – plans to attack and destroy Iran’s ballistic missile arsenal,

FM Gideon Sa’ar to attend the Board of Peace meeting in Washington in place of Netanyahu
The Board of Peace, formed under the Gaza Peace Plan overseen by U.S. President Donald Trump, and authorized by a UN Security Council resolution in November, will hold its first official meeting this week. Some Hebrew media outlets reported that with elections coming soon, Netanyahu may have preferred not to be seen at the Board meeting, which includes a large number of Arab and Muslim nations that have not normalized relations with Israel. In Israel, there is a sense that the Gaza Peace Plan is stuck, with Hamas continuing to refuse calls for its disarmament.

IDF kills senior Islamic Jihad commander in Rafah strike
The operation followed attacks launched last week from eastern Rafah, which Israeli officials said constituted a breach of existing understandings. During the strikes, Israeli forces killed Azem Abu Huli, identified as the head of the Islamic Jihad’s Nukhba unit in Gaza’s Central Camps Brigade. According to the military, Abu Huli played a key operational role within the organization, overseeing the supply of weapons to terrorists and directing attack plans against IDF troops.

Board of Peace Members Have Pledged More Than $5 billion for Gaza, Trump Says
In a post on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump wrote that member states have also committed thousands of personnel toward a U.N.-authorized stabilization force and local police in the Palestinian enclave.

Trump Institute of Peace, which the State Department recently renamed after the president. Delegations from more than 20 countries, including heads of state, are expected to attend.

Israeli Cabinet moves to protect archaeological sites from PA destruction 
By establishing this civilian framework, the government has created a permanent administrative apparatus designed to bypass Oslo-era restrictions and assert direct Israeli responsibility for the historical sites of Judea and Samaria. The bill establishes a civilian statutory corporation to replace the military-led Staff Officer for Archaeology. It is governed by a nine-member council appointed directly by the Minister of Heritage, a structural change that removes archaeological oversight from the Defense Ministry’s chain of command and places it under civilian ministerial control.

Diplomacy Or Overwhelming Force?: Trump And Netanayhu Keep The Iranian Regime Off Balance
I see Trump and Bibi as a pair of modern-day Churchills in a sea of Chamberlains. Their partnership is historic, and the next few weeks will determine how President Trump, in particular, is remembered. Will he make the call to strike Iran and put an end to the satanically motivated Ayatollah regime? Will he take decisive action against the world’s number one state sponsor of terrorism, which has been a force for misery and mayhem for nearly half a century?

Antisemitism Has Become A Feature, Not An Anomaly, Of British Society
Muslim migration to the United Kingdom (UK) has made Islam the second largest religion there. Muslims outnumber Jews 13 to 1 and now threaten the fifth largest Jewish community in the world by holding attitudes like Jihad al-Shamie, who boasted, “I have killed two Jews in the name of the Islamic State,” after he attacked a UK synagogue on October 2, 2025.

Hillary Clinton Breaks With Party Line, Admits Mass Migration Is “Disruptive & Destabilizing” 
After U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke earlier on Saturday at the Munich Security Conference, where he said the U.S. and Europe “belong together” and argued for a stronger West, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who served under former President Barack Obama, appeared on a panel later that afternoon and made surprising remarks about mass migration. Clinton participated in a panel titled, “The West-West Divide: What Remains of Common Values,” and said that mass migration invasion involving millions of illegal aliens has been “destabilizing” to society.

Moscow Repels Another Large-Scale Ukrainian Drone Attack, Flights Briefly Grounded
Russian officials are describing a large-scale Ukrainian drone attack targeting the capital of Moscow on Sunday. While not the first time, such aerial assaults so deep in Russian territory have remained somewhat rare.

As Demand Grows, US Nuclear Energy Industry Faces Looming Crunch In Reactor Fuel Supply
The Department of Energy (DOE) has invested billions in incentivizing domestic production of enriched uranium for the commercial development of advanced nuclear reactors, including $2.7 billion issued last month to three companies to build centrifuges and processing plants necessary to produce fuel for reactor cores.

Why Have Global Weather Patters Gone Completely and Totally Nuts This Winter?
You may have noticed this has been a really strange winter. In some areas, far less snow than usual; in other areas, people buried in their homes by mountains of snow. In some areas, much colder than average; in other areas, record high temperatures were shattered. Now even the New York Times is talking about how “weird” the weather has been this winter.

We Are Sleepwalking into an Apocalyptic War with Iran
By the time we got to this stage, I thought most people would understand what was happening. But though we’re on the brink of an apocalyptic war with Iran, most of the population doesn’t seem too concerned. The Iranian regime has shown it’s willing to gun down its own people. Those underestimating the barbarity of the Iranian regime are making an enormous mistake.

Israel urges Diaspora Jews to come home, but will they?
In December, when two gunmen opened fire at a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney’s Bondi Beach, killing 15 and wounding dozens, Israel’s message to the global Jewish community was clear. “Today, Jews are being hunted across the world,” Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said, calling on Jews in Australia, Britain, France, Canada, and Belgium to “come home” to Israel.

Meta Considers Timed Face Recognition Launch to Exploit Distracted Society
Meta is weighing whether to add face recognition to its camera-equipped smart glasses, and an internal company document reveals more than just the plan itself.

Sharia Intimidation of Children: The Playbook Happening from the UK to the US
Across Illinois, the UK, and Texas, a clear pattern emerges: unverified accusations of “Islamophobia” or blasphemy are weaponized by activist groups and amplified by media to inflame outrage, pressure institutions, and normalize mob-enforced religious sensitivities—while facts, free speech, and even the safety of children are sacrificed in the process.

School-Led Anti-ICE Protests Grow Increasingly Violent, Putting Children in Danger

The United States has directed its military forces in the Middle East to prepare for potentially extended operations against Iran, positioning them for action should President Donald Trump order strikes on the Islamic Republic. It remains unclear whether Trump will pursue a diplomatic solution or move toward military action against the Iranian regime. Speaking to U.S. forces at a base in North Carolina on Friday, Trump said it has “been difficult to make a deal.” “Sometimes you have to have fear. That’s the only thing that really will get the situation taken care of,” Trump told the U.S. troops.

Rare February haze lifts as Israel braces for heat wave
Heavy haze blanketing Israel on Saturday began moving eastward, with air quality gradually improving, the Israel Meteorological Service said. A noticeable improvement is expected by Sunday. Officials said the phenomenon was caused by air pressure differences between a deep low-pressure system over southern Europe — bringing winter weather and rain there — and high pressure over Israel. The contrast generated powerful winds that carried dust particles from the deserts of Libya and Egypt across the Mediterranean Sea. A heat wave is forecast for Monday, with temperatures well above seasonal norms. The western Negev is expected to be the hottest region, with highs of 33 to 34 degrees Celsius (91 to 93 Fahrenheit).

South Dakota Bill Would Make it a Felony to Disrupt a Religious Service
South Dakota is taking action to protect houses of worship from violent threats and intimidation. Gov. Larry Rhoden announced the Legislature is considering SB 113, a bill that would increase the penalties against those who disrupt religious services or in any way prevent people from peacefully practicing their faith. “In recent days, religious freedom came under assault just a few hundred miles from here in the Twin Cities,” said Gov. Rhoden, referencing the incident at a Minnesota church. “That should trouble every single American. It certainly troubled me,” he added. ”So I quickly worked with legislative leadership to announce a plan to fix it. If someone decides to target a house of worship, there will be real consequences.”

Our Culture Is Tearing Itself Apart Because It Rejects Authority
What strange days these are in American political and cultural life. Few American groups vie for the top spot in our crazy, overheated age more than the “anti-fascist” group Antifa. Though Antifa avoids formal organization and top-down leadership, it nonetheless organizes and articulates passionately held philosophical views. According to one affiliate: “We are in direct conflict with racism, homophobia, sexism, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, transphobia . . . [We] are anti-authoritarians and anti-nationalist.”
