A renewed debate is unfolding across Western democracies over whether political correctness and left-leaning ideological frameworks are undermining social cohesion and public safety, as a series of extremist attacks and security incidents fuel public anxiety. The discussion gained fresh momentum following a deadly antisemitic attack during a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney, where gunmen opened fire at a public Jewish gathering, killing multiple people and injuring dozens. Australian authorities described the incident as terrorism driven by antisemitic hatred, prompting national mourning and renewed scrutiny of how extremist ideologies take root and operate in open societies. The Sydney attack followed a broader…

With the 2026 U.S. midterm elections approaching, both Republicans and Democrats are mobilizing aggressively in a high-stakes contest that could determine control of the House of Representatives, setting up a familiar but intensified political showdown shaped by the lessons of 2018. At the center of the Republican strategy is first-term Congressman Brian Jack of Georgia, who has emerged as a key figure in President Donald Trump’s efforts to defend his party’s narrow House majority. Jack, now the GOP’s top House recruiter, has become a regular presence at the White House, where he reviews polling data and prospective candidate profiles directly…

At least 15 people, including a child, were killed after two gunmen opened fire during a Hanukkah celebration at Sydney’s Bondi Beach on Sunday evening, in what Australian authorities described as an act of antisemitic terrorism. Dozens more were injured, several critically, in the deadliest mass shooting in Australia in nearly three decades. Police said the attackers were a father and son. The older suspect, a 50-year-old man, was shot dead by police at the scene, while his 24-year-old son was wounded and taken into custody. New South Wales Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon said one of the gunmen was known…

Success is often framed as a product of talent, luck or formal education, but emerging insight from Amineva Global challenges that long-held belief. According to O. A. Phoxman, Project Facilitator with Amineva Global, the true engine of sustainable success lies not in individual brilliance, but in systems that transform raw data into informed action through clear and enforceable structures. In a detailed insight released as part of Amineva Global’s ongoing awareness, Phoxman argues that the difference between consistent achievers and those who repeatedly struggle is not intelligence, but how decisions are supported by data, information and structure. Redefining what a system…

The United States Mint has unveiled the official coin designs for the nation’s 250th anniversary, presenting a series of images centered on America’s founding era while quietly discarding earlier concepts that highlighted civil rights milestones. The new designs, set for circulation in 2026, include depictions of the Declaration of Independence, the Revolutionary War and other classical Americana. Despite months of lobbying from allies of former President Donald Trump, the Mint’s announcement did not include any design featuring his likeness. During the year, a draft $1 coin showing Trump’s profile and a scene referencing the attempted assassination against him circulated among…

Indiana’s Republican-controlled Senate delivered a stunning rebuke to the White House on Thursday, rejecting a redrawn congressional map that would have handed the GOP sweeping advantages in next year’s midterm elections. The defeat followed months of pressure from President Donald Trump, who has made redistricting a national priority for safeguarding his party’s narrow majority in the U.S. House. The proposal fell in a decisive 31–19 vote, with more Republicans opposing than supporting the measure. Cheers erupted inside the chamber as senators cast their final votes, a moment that underscored both internal party fractures and rising frustration with federal interference. Several…

The painting that introduced Star Wars to the world nearly half a century ago has become the most expensive piece of memorabilia ever sold from the franchise, fetching $3.875 million at a Dallas auction on Wednesday. Created by artist and poster designer Tom Jung, the acrylic-and-airbrush piece first appeared in newspapers on May 13, 1977, marking America’s earliest visual encounter with the universe imagined by filmmaker George Lucas. It later adorned billboards, magazines and theatre programs, defining the franchise’s first official marketing look. The artwork remained in the possession of Star Wars producer Gary Kurtz, who displayed it in his…

The United States has seized a massive oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, marking one of the most dramatic enforcement actions yet in Washington’s intensifying pressure campaign against President Nicolás Maduro’s government. President Donald Trump confirmed the operation on Wednesday, describing the vessel as “the largest one ever seized” and insisting the move was justified. The tanker, identified by US officials as The Skipper, had departed Venezuela on December 2 carrying nearly two million barrels of heavy crude, including a large shipment linked to a Cuban state-run importer. US officials said the seizure was led by the Coast Guard…

A diplomatic dispute erupted on Wednesday after Egypt and Iran lodged formal complaints with FIFA over a scheduled World Cup match in Seattle set to coincide with LGBTQ+ Pride celebrations. Both nations accused organizers of promoting values that conflict with their cultural and religious norms. The match, scheduled for June 26 at Seattle Stadium, was designated by local organizers as part of the city’s annual PrideFest, a long-running celebration of LGBTQIA+ communities. FIFA assigned the Egypt–Iran fixture to Seattle after finalizing the tournament draw over the weekend. In Cairo, the Egyptian Football Association said it had submitted a letter to…

The United States military flew a pair of Navy F/A-18 fighter jets over the Gulf of Venezuela on Tuesday, marking one of the closest American warplane maneuvers to Venezuelan territory since the Trump administration began intensifying pressure on Caracas. Public flight-tracking platforms showed the jets operating over the narrow gulf bordered by Venezuela and just 150 miles across at its widest point for more than 30 minutes. A U.S. defense official confirmed the “routine training flight,” stressing that the aircraft remained in international airspace. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said it was unclear whether the jets were armed…
