ALEX BERENSON: Europe is in Trouble.

Update on Europe, The World’s Progressive Dream (TM), the place all those Gen Z ladies say they’ll move when they stop being too sad to get out of bed.

The Spanish government — loved by annoying lefties everywhere — just collapsed.

The French are doing what they do best, rioting.

In Germany, anti-immigration conservatives keep gaining ground.

Of the four countries that dominate continental Europe, only Italy has a stable government — a conservative government run by Georgia Meloni, which has now lasted longer than any other in Italy’s post-World War 2 history and which just banned burqas for students.

This trend is not accident or coincidence.

Nope.

“MAYBE A KETAMINE- AND ALCOHOL-FUELED GANGBANG ISN’T A GOOD IDEA, DEAR”:

GOOD LORD: Jack Smith team tracked Trump defense lawyers’ calls by monitoring his chief of staff’s phone. “Just the News reported last week that Smith obtained the phone records of several senators through a subpoena and secured a non-disclosure order from the court preventing the mobile carrier from notifying the lawmakers affected. One of those senators, Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., filed a lawsuit against Smith arguing his spying constituted an unauthorized intrusion into her civil rights.”

JOHN NOLTE: Rapey Cornell University Is a Democrat Problem, Not an American Problem.

The explosive Cornell University gang rape scandal has nothing to do with President Trump, nothing to do with Republicans, nothing to do with America, nothing to do with our culture, nothing to do with men, nothing to do with me, nothing to do with you, and everything to do with yet another failure of an institution run exclusively by leftists and Democrats.

If only former Republican Chris Christie had remembered that yesterday: NY Times’ ‘Journo’ Michelle Cottle and ‘Republican’ Chris Christie Try Pinning Cornell Case on Trump.

BY THE NUMBERS:

From the replies: “This is undoubtedly why so many law enforcement agencies, those led by leftists that is, repeatedly list arrestees that are CLEARLY black or Hispanic, as ‘white’ on official reports.”

IT’S BEEN ONE FOR A WHILE: Migration As A Weapon. “The Russian and Belarusian intelligence services are facilitating an elaborate scheme to illegally funnel migrants from the Middle East and Africa across the border into Latvia and other NATO and European Union countries, Latvian officials said.”

NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG.

UPDATE: Well, never mind.

THE NEW YORK TIMES RUNS A STORY ABOUT NUCLEAR REACTORS ON THE MOON, and the first quote is, natch, from an anti-nuke group.

David Mastio has the rest of the story.

ST. PAUL ON MARRIAGE:

Not sounding like quite as much of a prude as he is usually depicted.

THE NEW YORK TIMES IS OBJECTIVELY PRO-TERROR:

SOUND IT OUT: Musk says he will rename SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI. “SpaceX CEO Elon Musk posted on Sunday that he would rename ​the company’s AI unit to SpaceXSI, ‌following US President Donald Trump’s push to use the term ‘super intelligence’ instead of ‘artificial intelligence.'”

Either that or he’s just bringing the sexy back. Again.

Musk is, after all, the man who brought us a car lineup named S, 3, X, Y.

IT’S REALLY BETTER ALL AROUND JUST TO NEVER ELECT SOCIALISTS IN THE FIRST PLACE:

STUDIOUSLY IGNORED:

“Why aren’t we talking about this?”

To ask the question is to answer it.

NICE WORK, FELLAS: U.S. Troops Help Capture Narcos In Ecuador. “The drug war has long been thought to be unwinnable, but Democrats also swore up and down that the border was unsecurable as well. Here, as in so many areas, the Trump Administration refuses to be bound by conventional wisdom. CJNG has American blood on its hands, and the U.S. has been partnering with Ecuador to fight the drug trade since 2025.”
