Slovakia is the last EU Member State without a single mosque, TRT World reports. Previous attempts to build have been halted by politicians. The country does not recognise Islam as a religion and only have a few thousand Muslim residents. Islam must not be taught in schools and the 5,000 Muslims, mostly European ones, who reside in the country are not officially recognised. They account for only 0.1% of the population. In 2007, politicians changed the country’s laws so that 20,000 signatures from members were required to be recognised by the state. In 2017 they more than doubled the number of necessary signatures. Not being officially recognised poses major difficulties for ...

“If you feel like you’ve been hearing about pronouns a lot lately, you’re on to something.” Over the last several years, we have seen the migration of progressive culture from the halls of college campuses to the mainstream. The creation and recognition of ‘International Pronouns Day’ is a perfect example. If you haven’t heard of International Pronouns Day, you’re not alone. It’s new, having been first recognized just last year. It occurred again yesterday and is already being treated by many as completely mainstream. This concept grew directly out of the recent embrace of transgenderism in higher education, where the special day for ...

As soon as I saw this question, I scrolled down and down hoping someone from my country would have answered but I don't think there's much Quorans from my country because it's a very tiny developing country. Tiny in a way that it's really tiny with only 38,394 km2 and with the approximate population of just 741,700 as of 2019. Now to speak about how screwed my country would be if neighbors attacked. We are as screwed as the screw screwed to the wood. We used to have Tibetans in the north but now, we have Chinese.To our south we have Indians.

A tremendous deception has been perpetrated on the American public. The fake news, Democratic Party, and neoconservatives within the GOP have gone into hysterics over President Donald Trump’s recent decision to remove troops from Northern Syria, in what they are calling a betrayal of Kurdish allies. Big League Politics has reported on the Kurds setting ISIS terrorists free at several key junctures throughout 2017 when the war against the caliphate was not yet decided. We also reported that the Kurds have been releasing ISIS terrorists in recent days as a ploy to lure U.S. troops back into the region. The reason why a Kurdish terrorist group in Syria has gained widespread mainstream ...

Trump spoke with the Chinese VP present in the Oval Office. Trump's ag secretary and treasury secretary were both present and spoke very briefly. The Chinese vice-premier was accompanied by his trade negotiation team and he did confirm vocally that an agreement is concluded. Getting the full agreement written will take 3-4 weeks. This was a high-level agreement and Phase 2 of the trade agreement will be negotiated once the Phase 1 treaty is signed.

Johnson stood up for the family of 19-year-old motorcyclist Harry Dunn on Monday, telling reporters that Anne Sacoolas’ claim of diplomatic immunity is unjustified. “I do not think that it can be right to use the process of diplomatic immunity for this type of purpose and I hope that Anne Sacoolas will come back and will engage properly with the processes of laws that are carried out in this country,” he told reporters. “If we can’t ...

Labour will pledge to abolish private schools if it wins the next election, after the party’s annual conference voted for a proposal to “integrate” them into the state sector. In a major policy shift, a motion approved by delegates at the gathering in Brighton said a government led by Jeremy Corbyn would “challenge the elite privilege of private schools” and claimed that “the ongoing existence of private schools is incompatible with Labour’s pledge to promote social justice”. It said the party would include in its next manifesto “a commitment to integrate all private ...

The Reason for Barr and Durham’s Trip to Rome Last Week? To Hear a Secret Tape from the Mysterious Mr. Mifsud

Attorney General William Barr may have intended for his trip to Rome last week to go unnoticed, but it was pretty hard to keep it under wraps after he and U.S. Attorney John Durham showed up at the U.S. Embassy requesting a secure conference room. Several key events from the “Russian collusion” story took place in Rome. The Link University campus in the city provided the backdrop for many of those events. The faculty of Link University is closely connected to the British intelligence community. Moreover, the FBI held a training program at Link in the fall of 2016, an interesting fact which the Mueller report conveniently omitted. And it just so happened that in March 2016, ...

Imagine if this happened inside the United States. Imagine the reaction from politicians and the US war machine looking to right this wrong. Would you, as an American citizen sit idly back and accept the excuse given by the country who carried out that attack? Would ...
It’s High Time To Reassess The United States’ Relationship With Ukraine

Washington’s relationship with Ukraine has become the latest football in America’s partisan politics. Democrats charge that the Trump administration illegitimately put a new military aid package to Kiev on hold, using it as leverage to pressure Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, to include in his investigation of the previous government’s notorious corruption the activities of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s son. The younger Biden had a lucrative post on the board of directors of a large Ukrainian natural gas company with close ties to that government. President Trump vehemently denies the allegation that he was improperly trying to coerce Kiev into harassing the ...
The gas tycoon and the vice presidentÂ’s son: The story of Hunter BidenÂ’s foray into Ukraine

When then-Vice President Joe Biden’s son joined the board of an obscure Ukrainian gas company half a decade ago, it was a stunning coup for its owner, a former Ukrainian minister working to remake the company’s image as he faced a money-laundering investigation. For Hunter Biden, the job came with risks: Ukraine was in the throes of political upheaval, and there was building scrutiny of former government officials profiting in the lucrative gas industry. His father was the face of the Obama administration’s effort to get Ukraine to crack down on corruption.

The whistleblower who filed a complaint with the intelligence community inspector general did not have direct knowledge of the communications between President Trump and the foreign leader in question.

Giuliani has previously urged a top official in Ukraine to look into the ties. An official who has been briefed on the matter, however, told CNN that the ...
