Here we review the full scale of the quiet, undemocratic transformation of Europe.

Spain holds the unfortunate distinction of producing highest absolute immigration among EU nations.

🇨🇳 🇻🇳 🇹🇼 China has completed the first phase of construction on Antelope Reef in the disputed Paracel Islands, creating a nearly six-kilometer-long artificial island in the South China Sea, Reuters reports.

Satellite imagery shows a helicopter pad, buildings, a 680-meter wharf and deep-water harbor, while a three-kilometer stretch could potentially accommodate a runway. China says the project is for civilian purposes, though analysts believe the strategically located reef could become a major Chinese military outpost.

Genuinely astonishing.

1. If migrants don't know any better than not to rape girls, they shouldn't be here.

2. No rapist deserves asylum. This is an inappropriate use of passive voice.

There is a line where cross-cultural tolerance becomes pathological. We crossed it.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 President Trump on Truth Social:

No one has given the Islamic Republic of Iran a greater opportunity to make a Deal than me. TRAGICALLY, for them, they have failed to take it. Therefore, today, I am announcing the MOST CRUSHING ECONOMIC OPERATION EVER TAKEN AGAINST ANY COUNTRY! This will be Economic Warfare and Isolation on an unprecedented scale.

Their navy is gone, their air force is destroyed, their military factories are now rubble, their currency is worthless, and their country is hanging by a thread.

Today, I am also announcing that ANY country that allows its financial institutions, businesses, airports, or government entities to provide any type of lifeline to Iran will itself face TREMENDOUS Economic Consequences. Oil smuggling, swap lines, cash transfers, exchange houses, ship registries, front companies — It all needs to stop NOW. You know who you are. This will be an ECONOMIC D-DAY, and we need all of our Allies to stand with the United States of America to isolate, and defeat, the Iran threat.

These maniacs are on the ropes, and these HISTORIC MEASURES will cripple them and their ability to project terror worldwide. IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!’

📵 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 Five groups that campaigned for Britain's Online Safety Act are now pushing age verification and digital ID bills in 21 US states and Congress.

Four of them are British. One of them is the trade association for the companies that sell the age checks.

5Rights, chaired by Baroness Beeban Kidron, sponsored the California code in 2022 and has engaged on 42 bills across 18 states, 11 of which became law. It is registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, and paid Capitol Connection $50,000 to lobby the California Legislature in 2022. That work was not disclosed as lobbying for a foreign principal until 2024, more than a year after the bill passed. The disclosure denied that 5Rights was "supervised, owned, directed, controlled, financed, or subsidized by a foreign government, foreign political party, or other foreign principal", and left blank the item that would have clarified how much control Kidron, the founder and then a director, had over it.

Kidron wants the VPN gap closed too. Social media bans without VPN bans, she has written, are "for show and headlines, not for children."

Its reach ran further than Westminster. The European Commission's handbook on borderline content, the House Judiciary Committee found, "contained platform 'policy recommendations' from the biased, left-wing pseudoscience group Center for Countering Digital Hate."

The Institute for Strategic Dialogue has received US State Department funding — to "advance the development of promising and innovative technologies against disinformation and propaganda" — and sits in Spotify's Safety Advisory Council and YouTube's Trusted Flagger program, which Google says "prioritizes flags from Trusted Flaggers." Effort puts ISD's contracting with the State Department, the EU and several UK ministries at more than $17 million.

Congress has since taken an interest. "In July 2025, to gain a better understanding of how European regulators interact with third party organizations to censor online speech, the Committee requested and obtained documents from two CSOs, Access Now and the Institute for Strategic Dialogue," the Judiciary Committee reported.

The law all of this began with is not regarded in Washington as a neighbor's domestic business. It is "perhaps the most notable foreign attempt to imitate the Digital Services Act," the Judiciary Committee wrote, one that "paves the way for Ofcom, the UK's relevant regulatory authority, to regulate how social media platforms 'should deal with [so-called] disinformation and misinformation.'"
