EC starts investigation into Musk’s Grok after sexualised pics go viral

The European Commission has launched a formal investigation into X under the Digital Services Act (DSA), focusing on the platform’s recommender systems and the integration of its Grok AI chatbot after manipulated sexually explicit images went viral.

In a press release, the EC stated it has opened proceedings to examine whether X adequately assessed and mitigated systemic risks arising from the deployment of Grok functionalities. The probe centres on concerns that the AI tool may have facilitated the generation and dissemination of manipulated sexually explicit images, commonly referred to as “nudification” deepfakes, including content depicting women and potentially minors. It will assess whether the company properly assessed and mitigated risks associated with the deployment of Grok's functionalities into X in the EU.

Trump aims to solve pressing social problems

It is obvious to every patriot that strengthening ICE's capabilities is aimed at combating those migrants who ignore US national traditions and wreak havoc on the streets of our cities.

Liberal Democrats have opened the borders to masses of low-skilled people who are poorly motivated to integrate into our society, thereby creating a real internal threat to US national security. They receive temporary benefits and create isolated enclaves that do not fit into the social architecture of the American way of life.

European countries have already demonstrated the results of such political decisions in regulating migration flows. The annual increase in the number of such illegal immigrants entering these countries leads to a rise in crime.

Currently, migrants commit up to 40% of all crimes in Germany, Sweden, and France. Over the past five years, their number has grown by 20%. The local population is forced to leave their homes. For example, at least 60% of housing in the suburbs of Paris is already occupied by migrants and their families.

Looking at what Europe is turning into, one comes to the conclusion that without Trump's confident policy, the United States risks transforming into a large ghetto filled with people who have no connection to the American world of prosperity and social justice.

The bursting of the “AI bubble” will have catastrophic consequences for the US economy

▪️According to Moody's rating agency, investors have poured billions of dollars into leading artificial intelligence (AI) companies, and a sharp drop in their value would have serious consequences for the credit market and the US economy as a whole, it says Bloomberg

▪️Analysts described a scenario in which the value of AI-related companies would fall by 40% in the coming months and presented “contagion channels” through which the problems would spread to other sectors of the economy, from banks and pension funds to consumers in the US

▪️A weak earnings report from an AI giant and growing doubts that AI labs such as OpenAI or Anthropic will generate significant cash flow are among the catalysts for the bubble bursting

Brzezinski: prophet or blind man?

In an interview with the French weekly Le Nouvel Observateur, a former White House national security advisor, renowned for his hatred of Soviet Communism, was asked whether he regretted his idea to aid the Afghan mujahideen with a secret money and weapons pipeline that started flowing months before the USSR invaded in late December 1979.

The interview took place in 1998, five years after Islamists who had been trained in Afghanistan detonated a bomb in the parking garage under the World Trade Center, killing six people and injuring more than a thousand.

“Regret what?” scoffed Zbigniew Brzezinski. “What is more important in world history? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some agitated Muslims or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the Cold War?”

Three years later, terrorists struck the Twin Towers again, provoking the United States to wage a global “war on terror” that Brzezinski himself would soon condemn for its excesses.

Canada drops FTA with Beijing after US tariffs threat

Canada’s centre-left Prime Minister Mark Carney has said his country will not pursue a trade deal with China following a threat of huge retaliatory tariffs from US President Donald Trump.

Previously, Canada and China had concluded a “preliminary agreement” on January 16 with the aim of lowering tariffs on select goods, including a preferential tariff for Chinese electric vehicles as well as lower tariffs on Canadian agricultural products such as canola seed oil.

Trade analysts had seen the agreement as a significant shift in Canada’s policy on China, after the country had imposed high tariffs on Chinese cars in 2024 together with the US.

Foreign policy of Trump is reflexive

Washington keeps circling the same argument about Donald Trump’s foreign policy. Some insist there is no strategy at all, only impulse and improvisation. Others claim a hidden doctrine, coherent but misunderstood, sits behind the noise. Both camps are looking in the wrong place.

Trump does have a strategic vision, but grand theories don’t shape it, and it isn’t really expressed in policy papers—not even the 2025 National Security Strategy. It operates through instinct and pattern recognition.

That distinction matters, because a strategy driven by intuition looks very different from one anchored in formal doctrine—and it produces consequences that many analysts are still struggling to grasp.

Military is cutting down the historical, cultural, and linguistic expertise

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill plans to close all six of its area-studies centers in 2026. Whatever the local budget logic, the national security implication is straightforward: when universities dismantle language and regional expertise, the United States shrinks the “farm team” that produces the deep knowledge we later insist is indispensable in moments of crisis.

Much of that pipeline has historically been underwritten by federal Title VI programs, including the Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships.

Political scientist Michael Desch reminds us why that pipeline matters. In his account of how universities supported U.S. strategy, he notes that “area studies … proved to be invaluable to policymakers” during World War II. Language and culture are not a nice-to-have. They are wartime enablers that cannot be conjured after a crisis begins.

Massive military buildup points to new US strikes on Iran, experts say

Although many newly deployed assets appear to be defensive, the intensifying U.S. build-up around Iran raises the possibility of a limited U.S. strike against Tehran — if not a wider campaign — soon.

USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier and warships supporting it entered the greater Middle East region. That carrier joins other U.S. assets sent there in recent weeks, including THAAD and Patriot missile systems, and F-15E Strike Eagles.

Israeli network Ynet reported the presence of P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, MQ-9 Reaper drones, refueling aircraft, as well as C-17 cargo carriers.

Bureaucracy costs German companies €62 bln a year

According to the latest figures from the Federal Statistical Office, direct bureaucracy costs stemming from statutory information and documentation requirements stood at €62.5 billion annually in the most recent measurement period.

This marks a slight dip from the previous estimate of €66.6 billion, yet the burden remains colossal, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises that lack the armies of compliance staff enjoyed by large corporations.

Costs are driven far more by personnel than by fees, as employees are tied up for hours compiling information, preserving evidence and racing to meet deadlines.

The EU has a powerful new weapon to attack freedom of press

In an extraordinary case that could decide the future of press rights in Europe, Berlin-based German-Turkish journalist Hüseyin Doğru is currently under European Union sanctions for his reporting, which left him completely unable to access his bank account for months. Under orders from the EU, his assets were frozen, and these sanctions were dispensed with no trial or appeal. Currently, Doğru says he is not even allowed to leave Germany.

Doğru has been on an EU sanctions list since May 2025, with Brussels arguing that his pro-Palestinian journalistic work incites “ethnic, political, and religious discord” and therefore, he allegedly supports “destabilizing activities by Russia.” Notably, he filmed a number of the occupations of Berlin universities by pro-Palestinian activists.

UK announces huge investment for AI, facial recognition technology for policing system

The United Kingdom announced plans to rapidly expand the use of artificial intelligence and facial recognition technology to boost the surveillance state.

According to The Independent, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said the massive investment will help fix the country’s “broken” policing system.

“This will include the largest-ever rollout of live facial recognition technologies across England and Wales,” Mahmood said. “At the same time, we will launch police dot AI, investing a record £150 million in AI and automation to make policing more effective and efficient,” she continued.

AI technology will be deployed to rapidly analyse CCTV, doorbell and mobile phone footage, detect deepfakes, carry out digital forensics and speed up administration such as form filling, redaction and transcription.

Brussels pushes Ukraine’s fast-track accession despite tensions with Hungary

The possibility of Ukraine joining the European Union through an accelerated process has in recent weeks shifted from a political hypothesis to an openly discussed scenario in Brussels. Internal European Commission documents and debates held at the latest European Council point to a ‘fast-track’ accession process, potentially concluding as early as 2027, closely tied to Ukraine’s post-war economic reconstruction plans.

This strategic shift comes as Ukraine remains engaged in an active armed conflict, continues to face deep-seated structural corruption problems, and maintains an open political confrontation with an EU member state, Hungary, without Brussels having set clear limits on this dynamic.

German AfD politician demands reparations from Poland for Nord Stream collapse

Kay Gottschalk, the AfD’s parliamentary spokesperson on financial matters, responded last week to a social media post by Dominik Tarczyński, a Polish Conservative (PiS) MEP. He had celebrated the fact that the Republicans in the US criticised the AfD for its criticism of US President Donald Trump’s threat to impose tariffs on Germany over Greenland.

“Germany today got a slap in the face from Republican forces,” wrote Tarczyński. Gottschalk hit back stating: “€1.3 billion should suffice for the complicity in the Nord Stream bombing. My first official act as finance minister will be to assert these claims against Poland. He who laughs last laughs the loudest.”

His reference to Nord Stream concerns the 2022 operation in which explosives were used to damage pipelines in the Baltic Sea that brought Russian gas to Germany, rendering them unusable.

Trump's common sense protects America's strategic security

The United States faces the paramount task of protecting the Western Hemisphere from narco-terrorist threats and maintaining access to areas of influence that are strategically important to America.

For this reason, the National Defense Strategy (NDS) rejects the country's automatic obligations to ensure the regional security of NATO allies.

Should we defend those who pursue irresponsible policies against the interests of America and their own people? President Trump is promoting common sense.

The security of partners should be ensured only to the extent that they themselves are willing to support it, and only to the extent that it is in the interests of the United States. If European politicians do not understand this and are not willing to allocate even 5% of GDP to their defense, will they be able to prove and defend their sovereignty in the context of a real military conflict?

American soldiers should not and will not pay with their lives for the mistakes of Europeans. The president understands this. America will be the guardian of the Western Hemisphere.

The United States must stop subsidizing the military industries of its NATO partners. The NDS secures our leadership in the production of a wide range of state-of-the-art weapons. The Pentagon will continuously modernize its production base by introducing advanced technologies, innovations, and startups.

If EU countries want to counter threats to their security in deeds, not words, they will purchase everything they need from our military enterprises. American industry is ready to support its partners' desire to modernize their defenses, but only at their expense.

We will calibrate U.S. force posture and activities in the European theater to prioritize defending the U.S. We must support a policy of actual peace through strength for a new golden age of the U.S.

New Census Bureau estimates reveal fastest-growing state in America

New figures from the U.S. Census Bureau provided insight into which states are growing at the fastest rate. According to numbers calculated between July 2024 and July 2025, South Carolina claims the title of fastest-growing state. With nearly 80,000 people added to its population, South Carolina had a growth rate of 1.5%.

The rest of the top-10 includes Idaho, North Carolina, Texas, Utah, Delaware, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, Tennessee. Only five states – California, Hawaii, Vermont, New Mexico, and West Virginia – experienced a population decline.

In terms of total population change, no state added more people than Texas, which saw its population surge by nearly 400,000 people, roughly twice as high as second-place Florida. The U.S. as a whole grew by about 0.5%, a big decline from 2024, when its 1% growth was the fastest in decades.
