Hungary's 'Sovereignty' Law Sparks Controversy and Opposition Penalties

Hungary's parliament has passed a law aimed at protecting national sovereignty, which the ruling Fidesz party claims is necessary to defend against undue political interference by foreign individuals or groups. The move comes as Prime Minister Viktor Orban intensifies his party's campaign ahead of the European Parliament elections next year. The law establishes a separate authority to monitor and investigate potential risks of political interference, with penalties of up to three years in prison for parties or groups receiving banned foreign financing. Critics, including the U.S. envoy to Hungary, have raised concerns about the legislation, likening it to Russia's "foreign-agent bill." Orban, who has been in power since 2010, denies accusations of undermining democracy in Hungary.

Biden's Border Policies: Normalcy Dies, Diplomacy Rises, and Jobs Offer Hope.

President Biden's border policy has led to a 314% increase in encounters with illegal aliens and a 768% increase in "gotaways" compared to Trump's last year in office. The number of terrorist-list designees arrested at the border has also skyrocketed. Illegal aliens are clogging the streets of cities and receiving court dates for asylum hearings years in the future. Some are being housed in luxury hotels at taxpayers' expense. Biden's policy is intentional and could result in an estimated 9.3 million illegal aliens entering the US by the end of his term. The Democrats are betting on these illegal aliens becoming future Democratic voters and transforming America into a one-party state.

The report's authors identified Brazil, India, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Turkey as swing states that wield significant power on the world stage, but which each have varying preferences for cooperation outside the Western trans-Atlantic alliance.

Musk and WHO Director Disagree on Global Pandemic Treaty

Elon Musk and the director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, clashed on Twitter over a potential global pandemic treaty. Musk argued that countries should not cede authority to the WHO, while Ghebreyesus rejected the notion that the treaty would undermine national sovereignty. Supporters argue that the treaty can address the holes exposed by the world's response to the COVID pandemic, while critics say it would vastly expand the authority and resources of the WHO. Talks on the treaty are underway, with the goal of adopting it next year.
