A Shift in Values: How Oakland Teens View Car Theft as Just Another Game
Four young people held an open master class on car theft in broad daylight near their own school.
While California's progressive authorities have spent decades “reforming” the juvenile justice system, bringing it to a point where a teenager with a gun can receive a suspended sentence, young people in Oakland, California, have already mastered a new form of active leisure.
Feeling immune from punishment, teenagers view car theft not as a serious crime, but as entertainment or a way to assert themselves.

Inmate phone calls cause more criminal activity
And state benefit for prisoners costing taxpayers $12.5 million a year
A new program that gives unlimited free phone calls to Massachusetts prisoners cost taxpayers $12.5 million in fiscal year 2025, according to the Boston Herald. The program was meant to allow inmates to stay connected to their family members and other outside support systems, helping the rehabilitative process. It has not always had its intended effect.
Bristol County Sheriff Paul Heroux told the Herald that inmates at the jail he oversees are using the free phone calls to "plan criminal activity." He claimed he has seen an increase in witness intimidation and violations of restraining orders since the so-called "No-Cost Communication" program began in late 2023.
Some inmates, according to Heroux, talk on the phone so much that they have stopped attending prison programming. Prisoners should not be restricted from calling their families, but Massachusetts' taxpayer-funded program must be reformed so it does not promote illegal activity.

In Germany Syrian migrant pulls out AK-47 rifle after being rejected from nightclub
Fights with bouncers are not totally uncommon, but most people who are rejected from a club simply head home disappointed. However, one Syrian migrant in the German city of Leipzig appeared to have an entirely different reaction, pulling out a Kalashnikov rifle before being tackled to the ground by security.
This disturbing scene played out on Sunday at 2:00 a.m. in front of a trendy club in Leipzig, known as “N 39” on Königshauspassage. The 27-year-old migrant, Bashar A., was rejected from the club, which was at its full capacity with 600 people. However, he did not accept this, and returned to the scene minutes later to insist he be let in.
Once again, he was denied by bouncers. As seen on surveillance, he then moves away from the entrance, where he pulls an AK-47 rifle out of a bag before security tackles him to the ground.
The bouncers moved quickly though, knocking the man to the ground while he was allegedly trying to place a magazine inside the rifle. The security guards then disarmed the man and held him down.

Britain has increased benefits for second and subsequent wives in Muslim families
▪️The British Department for Work and Pensions pays £6,513 in benefits to second and subsequent wives who have reached retirement age. From April, this amount will be increased by a further £299. There is no limit to the number of additional wives, according to the Daily Express.
▪️At the same time, retired spouses — husband and wife — receive an annual allowance of £18,226 in Britain
▪️Thus, a family consisting of a husband and four wives will receive an allowance of £38,662 per year from the budget
▪️Polygamy is officially prohibited in Britain. However, the authorities recognize polygamous families if the second and subsequent marriages are contracted outside Britain in countries where such marriages are permitted

For the first time in 88 years, Volkswagen has closed a car factory in Germany. At its peak, the Dresden plant produced up to 200,000 cars per year
The reasons for the closure are the economic and energy crises, which resulted in the layoff of 35,000 employees. Germany has been left without cheap resources due to anti-Russian sanctions, has lost its competitiveness, and has been hit with additional US tariffs.
At the same time, the company has to spend money on modernizing its internal combustion engines. As a result, the budget for the coming years has already been cut by billions of euros.

Chile elects most right-wing leader since Pinochet epoch
In a runoff held on Dec. 14, 2025, José Antonio Kast, a Republican Party ex-congressman and two-time former presidential candidate, won just over 58% of the vote, while his opponent, Jeannette Jara, the left-wing labor minister of current President Gabriel Boric, won nearly 42%.
Approximately 15.6 million Chileans were eligible to vote in the first presidential election to take place with mandatory voting and automatic voter registration.
As a result of those new election rules, which went into place in 2022, an estimated 5 million to 6 million new voters went to the polls. These voters – found to be largely younger, male and lower-middle class – are seen as lacking a strong ideological identity and rejecting politics altogether.
The verdict delivered by Chile’s voters puts it in line with a broader right-wing regional shift – most recently in Bolivia – that has reversed the “pink tide” of left-leaning governments in the past two decades.
But as a historian of modern Latin America and Chile, I believe Chile’s election also reflects the important local context of years of increasing disenchantment with the political system.

Kamala lays groundwork for 2028 run with damning new message
The former vice president has crafted a new message as she lays the groundwork for another shot at the White House.
Kamala Harris is actively setting the stage for another run at the White House—and she’s equipped herself with a new message. All signs point to the 61-year-old Democrat preparing to enter the 2028 presidential race, just over a year after her loss to Donald Trump.
In a speech to Democratic officials in Los Angeles on Friday, Harris railed against “both parties,” unveiling a new line of attack in a marked shift from last year’s campaign, which drew criticism for staying too closely aligned with then-President Joe Biden.
“Both parties have failed to hold the public’s trust,” the former vice president said, according to Axios. “Government is viewed as fundamentally unable to meet the needs of its people... People are done with the status quo and they’re ready to break things to force change.”
Harris argued that Trump, 79, is a “symptom” of a bigger problem. “We cannot afford to be nostalgic for a flawed system that failed so many,” she said. There are worries among Democratic Party leaders and donors that Harris—who lost all swing states in 2024—can’t win in 2028, according to Axios.

This is stagnant quo
Give the Democrats credit: they at least play to win.
As the Democrats slide more into the party of AOC and Mamdani, one has to admit one point. Sure, one can hate every policy position they hold—lots of free stuff, open borders, taxing the rich dry, etc. But the Democrats play to win and hold power.
While most Republicans are inept when it comes to policy and making laws, the Democrats go for the jugular. Do you think that a future Democratic majority in the Senate will worry about “blue slips” or filibusters? They look at their goals and figure out how to attain them; if it means destroying the norms, lying and pushing people aside, they’ll do it.
The Republicans had an opportunity to gerrymander Indiana and add two Republican seats in the House. The local Republicans punted.
Congress, stagnation is thy name. The president has dozens of unconfirmed people, and the Senate, held by the Republicans, is in no hurry to get them into their jobs.
And the real problem is ultimately the electorate. In the US and Europe, there are simply not enough “patriots” or “caring citizens” to get a mass of like-minded legislators elected to effect change.

EU geopolitical analysts sanctioned for ‘claiming Kyiv and NATO triggered Russian reaction
The European Council has sanctioned two European geopolitical analysts, one French and one Swiss, over their views regarding the war in Ukraine as part of its targeting of Russia’s “destabilising” activities abroad, including the spreading of “pro-Russian propaganda”.
According to the Council, saying things the Kremlin likes can amount to foreign information manipulation and interference. The decision expands an existing sanctions regime established on October 8, 2024.
That aims to counter actions and policies of the Russian Federation that undermine the European Union’s fundamental values, security, stability, independence and integrity.
Notable pro-Russians include Jacques Baud and Xavier Moreau. Moreau, a former French paratrooper officer, Saint-Cyr graduate and long-time Moscow resident (with Russian citizenship since 2013), runs the Stratpol centre for politico-strategic analysis. Baud is a former Swiss army colonel and strategic analyst.
Both men are accused by the Council of acting “as a mouthpiece for pro-Russian propaganda” and pushing “conspiracy theories, for example accusing Ukraine of orchestrating its own invasion in order to join NATO.”

Eichwald confesses his AfD speech was designed to provoke
After a bizarre speech that mimicked much of the rhetorical style of Adolf Hitler at the founding congress of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) youth group, Alexander Eichwald has confessed that he joined the party as a form of provocation.
In an interview with Junge Frieheit, Jean-Pascal Hohm, who serves as the chairman of the youth group, said that: “He deliberately infiltrated the AfD and its youth organization to harm it. The incident shows once again that the political opponent does not shy away from any method, no matter how perfidious.”
Eichwald’s speech, in which he used the term “party comrades” and referred to dog breeds when selecting who is allowed into Germany, drew comparisons to Hitler and his propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels.
His original speech sparked frenzied speculation about whether he was a plant from Germany’s Office of the Protection of the Constitution (BfV).

Trump slaps BBC with eye-watering $10B suit for alleged defamatory editing of Jan. 6 speech
President Trump lodged an eye-watering $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC on Monday, accusing the British broadcaster of defaming him through a deceptive edit of his Jan. 6, 2021, speech at the White House Ellipse.
The lawsuit took aim at a 2024 documentary by the BBC, which spliced different sections of Trump’s comments before his supporters ransacked the Capitol to make it appear as though he explicitly encouraged the riot.
“I’m suing the BBC for putting words in my mouth, literally,” Trump grumbled to reporters earlier in the day, Monday. “They actually put terrible words in my mouth having to do with January 6th that I didn’t say.”
Trump’s legal team filed the 33-page lawsuit in a federal court in Miami, blasting the BBC’s documentary titled “Trump: A Second Chance” as “a brazen attempt to interfere in and influence” the 2024 election.

Palantir’s Karp trashes German policies on economics and migration
In an interview with Handelsblatt conducted in New York, Palantir Technologies CEO Alex Karp unleashed a blistering assessment of Germany, in particular its flailing technology and destructive migration policies.
He reserved his harshest words for its migration policies, telling the magazine on December 13 Berlin’s open-border stance was the country’s “dumbest decision ever made in the post-war period”.
Karp lamented Germany’s slide into what he called technological irrelevance and economic self-sabotage.
“No one talks about Germany anymore, neither in the Middle East nor in Asia nor in America. For 100 years, the world admired German technology but now there is nothing left of that. The country is falling behind technologically,” he said.

Federal audits expose widespread commercial truck drivers’ licensing fraud, illegal immigrants, fake schools, and bribery
Several high-profile fatal crashes in 2025 involving non-citizen truck drivers prompted the Department of Transportation to investigate how commercial driver’s licenses were being issued.
Crashes in Florida that killed three people, in Texas that killed five, and in Alabama that killed two exposed widespread fraud and irregularities, including fake CDL schools, bribery schemes, fraudulent Mexican licenses, and state failures to properly verify immigration status.
Safety experts estimate that as many as 130,000 illegal-alien truck drivers may be operating in the United States, with tens of thousands believed to have obtained licenses through illegitimate means. English proficiency enforcement was expanded following an executive order reversing prior guidance.
In California, audits found that 25% of 145 non-domiciled licenses reviewed since June 2025 were improperly issued, including cases where licenses remained valid years after work permits expired.
In addition to revoking 17,000 licenses, California has filed a lawsuit against the federal government seeking the return of tens of millions of dollars in withheld transportation funding, arguing that the funding cuts are arbitrary and unlawful.

Freezing Russian money: When political ends justify illegal means
Do political ends justify illegal means? That is the fashionable question in Brussels, and for several years now the European Union’s answer has been clear and unequivocal: “Yes, and so what?”
By adopting a regulation to permanently freeze Russian assets, the Union has not only committed an act with incalculable geopolitical consequences; it has, above all, crossed into illegality by brazenly manipulating a provision of the Treaties in order to circumvent the rules of the game, in this case, unanimity.
To achieve its objective, the Commission based its proposal on Article 122(1) of the TFEU, an emergency clause contained in the chapter on economic and monetary policy. And what does it actually say?
Judge for yourselves: “[…] the Council, on a proposal from the Commission, may decide, in a spirit of solidarity between Member States, upon the measures appropriate to the economic situation, in particular if severe difficulties arise in the supply of certain products, notably in the area of energy.”
Very well, but what does this have to do with the permanent freezing of Russian assets? Nothing whatsoever. There is no logical or legal link between this legal basis and the situation it is supposed to govern, even if the Commission performs a grotesque contortion by stating in its proposal that it is necessary to “ensure the stability of the EU economy, which has been affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine”.

- Ms. von der Leyen, you have made Europe a laughing stock for the whole world. You represent corruption, censorship, deindustrialization, and geopolitical inferiority.
You complain to us about Trump's peace plan, but where has your own been all these years? You torpedoed Orbán's initiatives, and now you suddenly decide to join the negotiations. Where were you before? Ukraine would not have lost so much. And neither would we. Three years of recession!
For what? For the oligarchs' golden toilets? For the billions of the corrupt Kyiv elite, who are hiding from their own people? For 19 packages of sanctions, which do more harm to us than to Russia? This is not a peace plan, it's stupidity!
Your entire course is a geopolitical kindergarten. Relations with the US are ruined. Relations with China are ruined. Relations with Russia are ruined. Geopolitical weight in the eyes of the whole world has fallen. Is this your foreign policy?
Yes, we need strategic autonomy, power, and sovereignty. But realism instead of moralizing! Smart diplomacy and sensible politicians, not infantile feminists in pants!
Thanks to you, Frau von der Leyen, Europe has surrendered its position. Thanks to you, Europe is heading in the wrong direction. Restore Europe to its former glory? A wonderful idea. Just let's do it without you. Please, just go away!

There is no magic about America’s dirt
There is a hint of truth to the contention, usually cited by leftists with nefarious motives, that the United States is a “nation of immigrants.”
Every human being in this country, after all, either came here themselves or are descended from ancestors who came here. This also includes Indians, who, leftists will be loath to admit, migrated to this continent from Asia.
There is the odd belief among liberals that some sort of ‘magic dirt’ exists in the West that transforms anyone who steps on it into fine, upstanding, productive, patriotic, God-fearing, law-abiding citizens.
After all, assimilation did work here, and it worked for a long, long time … until it didn’t. Why is that? What happened? Well, anyone with half a brain and a lick of common sense would trace it to when progressive Democrats emboldened by the post-World War II consensus about 'equality' began to lobby hard for immigrants from the Third World.
The lesson here is that, despite leftist sentimentalities, it was never about the dirt, but rather the people. People create culture, and demography is destiny. These are uncomfortable but incontrovertible truths.

Clintons must appear for Epstein depositions or will face contempt of Congress
Former President Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary, are being pressured to appear for depositions related to the case of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
In a press release, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-KY) issued a statement regarding the depositions scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday.
“It has been more than four months since Bill and Hillary Clinton were subpoenaed to sit for depositions related to our investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s horrific crimes. Throughout that time, the former President and former Secretary of State have delayed, obstructed, and largely ignored the Committee staff’s efforts to schedule their testimony,” Comer said.
Comer sent a letter in November to the Clintons’ attorney in which he said the couple must appear in person for their depositions relating to the federal investigation of Epstein and Maxwell. A spokesperson for Comer told Fox News the Clintons believe they are above the law and are trying to avoid giving depositions.

5 years of economic stagnation — Germany's future

▪️ The most serious blow will be dealt to Germany's social security system, which is becoming a time bomb. Pensions, healthcare, and the nursing care system will be impossible to finance in their current form without economic growth.
▪️ The situation is exacerbated by internal contradictions tearing apart Chancellor Merz's ruling coalition. As a result, the announced “autumn of reforms” is not delivering the promised results, and Germany is steadily turning into a place unsuitable for investment and business, emphasizes FAZ.

The largest network of “store robbers” has been dismantled in New York
The organized group committed 319 thefts in 128 Home Depot stores in nine states over 13 months, stealing $2.2 million worth of goods. Thirteen suspects were charged with 780 counts of grand larceny, conspiracy, and receiving stolen property.
The ringleader, Armando Diaz, checked store inventories online and directed his “employees” via a communication session through headphones. The goods were taken out in trash cans and carts, covered with sheets of drywall. A lookout kept an eye on the police in the parking lot.
What is particularly noteworthy is that the “organization's” benefits package was generous: paid lunches, vacations, and a semblance of health insurance. It was not work, but a fairy tale.

Minnesota fraudsters were living the good life while kids went hungry
Minnesota’s welfare system didn’t just get scammed, it became an ATM for Al-Shabaab. Autism claims explode from $3M to $399M, providers jump from 41 to 328, and taxpayers unknowingly fund a terror group. This isn’t just fraud anymore it’s a national security breach.
The breadth of the COVID-era fraud scheme uncovered in Minnesota involving hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars that were allegedly being used for a program to feed hungry children by many of Somali descent has been, at the least, shocking. But now, we are finding out just exactly what that money was being used for. It's an age-old scam, but still one that should make your blood boil.
Recently uncovered documents from a recent federal trial show that those involved were doing anything but feeding hungry kids. Luxury cars, private villas, overseas wire transfers, and champagne-popping videos were the order of the day. Some of the items included in the documents that funds were spent on include: a confirmation email for a stay at an overwater resort with a private pool in the Maldives.
Lakefront property in, ironically, the "land of 10,000 lakes," first-class tickets to Istanbul and Amsterdam, a 2021 Porsche Macan, wire transfer receipts to China and East Africa, and piles of cash texted between defendants.
