No more games: Trump admin to slap Antifa groups with 'foreign terrorist' label



The Trump administration has designated several Antifa groups as foreign terrorist organizations.

President Donald Trump issued an executive order in September that declared Antifa a domestic “terrorist threat,” claiming that the group “explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law.”

'The United States will continue using all available tools to protect our nation from these anti-American, anti-capitalist, and anti-Christian terrorist groups.'

The EO accused the anarchist group of using “illegal means” to launch “a campaign of violence and terrorism nationwide,” including obstructing the enforcement of laws and routinely doxxing political figures.

Trump’s action called on federal agencies to “investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations” tied to Antifa. However, designating the enterprise as a foreign terrorist organization would allow for more enforcement options, including making it a federal crime to provide material support to the group.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Thursday that four European Antifa-affiliated groups — Antifa Ost in Germany, Informal Anarchist Federation/International Revolutionary Front in Italy, and Greek-based groups Armed Proletarian Justice and Revolutionary Class Self-Defense — were named "Specially Designated Global Terrorists."

Rubio noted that the department “intends to designate all four groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, effective November 20, 2025.”

Antifa Ost has committed multiple attacks in Germany between 2018 and 2023 against those it considers “fascists” or part of the country’s “right-wing scene,” a State Department fact sheet about the latest announcement read.

FAI/FRI, which also has affiliates across Europe, South America, and Asia, has reportedly claimed responsibility for “threats of violence, bombs, and letter bombs against political and economic institutions.”

The State Department said that the Armed Proletarian Justice “has attempted and conducted improvised explosive device (IED) attacks against Greek government targets.” It previously claimed responsibility for planting a bomb near a police headquarters in Greece.

Revolutionary Class Self-Defense also reportedly took responsibility for two IED attacks in Greece.

“Groups affiliated with this movement ascribe to revolutionary anarchist or Marxist ideologies, including anti-Americanism, 'anti-capitalism,' and anti-Christianity, using these to incite and justify violent assaults domestically and overseas," the State Department said.

“Today, building on @POTUS’s historic commitment to uproot Antifa’s campaign of political violence, the Department of State is designating four Antifa groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists. The United States will continue using all available tools to protect our nation from these anti-American, anti-capitalist, and anti-Christian terrorist groups,” Rubio wrote in a post on social media.

C.P. Cavafy: Cosmopolitan Poet

Early in their biography of the Greek poet C.P. Cavafy (1863-1933), Gregory Jusdanis and Peter Jeffreys announce that they have written a "thematic" as opposed to a "linear" biography. The facts of their subject's life, they hold, are rather unremarkable and straightforward. "We have chosen, therefore, to start and finish his life story with his death and then tell a circular narrative through various thematic sequences." They continue: "The thematic approach also enables us to draw attention to the artificiality of biography as a type of writing."

The REAL reason farmers and truckers are rising up all around the world



Farmers around the world are rising up to protest regulations that are threatening to destroy not just their industry — but the countries they’ve learned to thrive in.

France, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain have all seen recent protests against these regulations. In France, entire herds of livestock have been led into the city to stop traffic, and manure has been sprayed on government buildings.

“This is not just an American problem,” Glenn Beck comments. “What they’re protesting is about to affect every single citizen on planet Earth.”

The protests are a reaction to the actions of global elites, who allege that they’re trying to save the environment.

One of those elites is John Kerry, who, at the recent AIM for Climate Summit, was adamant that agriculture is a problem for the environment.

“Agriculture contributes about 33% of all emissions of the world,” he told the audience. “Depending a little bit on how you count it, but it’s anywhere from 26% to 33%, and we can’t get to net zero, we don’t get this job done, unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution.”

“You can’t just continue to both warm the planet while also expecting to feed it. Doesn’t work. So we have to reduce emissions from the food system,” he added.

“I’m not an expert on this, but has anybody considered how many people will go hungry in the race to eliminate 30%?” Glenn asks. “Did they factor in how many ranchers and farmers will be forced into poverty? Have they thought about the ramifications of something that has taken us thousands of years to perfect — to change it in a four-year-period?”

Man survives 18 hours adrift at sea by clinging to half-deflated soccer ball



A 30-year-old North Macedonian man is alive today, thanks to a small soccer ball that children 80 miles away had lost ten days earlier.

Some time earlier this month, a man known only as "Ivan" was vacationing with friends near Kassandra, Greece. They were enjoying time on the beach when a strong current swept three people, including Ivan, far out to sea. Ivan's friends alerted authorities, who immediately sprang into action, but despite a thorough search, no one could find him.

Meanwhile, Ivan found himself lost at sea with little hope of rescue when a small half-deflated kids soccer ball drifted right into his path. He grabbed hold of the ball and clung to it for dear life. Eighteen hours later, a helicopter from the Greek Air Force finally spotted him.

Ivan was taken to the hospital, where his father and even the local mayor were able to visit with him.

"I had constant information on the course of the rescue and am very happy about the smooth ending of the young man's adventure," Anastasia Chalkia, the mayor of Kassandra, wrote in a translated Facebook post. "The young man found a ball that saved his life as he helped him when he got tired."

Chalkia thanked the rescue team and emergency medical professionals who assisted Ivan and held the heroic soccer ball as she posed for pictures with Ivan and his father at the hospital.

When the story hit the news, the mother of the two boys who had lost the soccer ball ten days prior recognized the toy on TV and came forward to identify it. Evgatis Beach on the Greek island of Lemnos, where her sons Tryphon and Thanos had lost the ball, is approximately 80 miles away from the location where Ivan was rescued.

Unfortunately, the rest of the story may not have such a happy ending. Ivan's friend, Martin Jovanovski, still remains missing, and members of the Greek coast guard and local volunteers have searched almost continuously to find him. Martin's brother, Goran, is expected to arrive in the area on Friday to help with the rescue effort as well.

Goran told reporters that he “will move the earth and heaven” to find his brother and “will mobilize everything necessary.”

Mayor Chalkia also shared a message about Martin in her post: "Investigations continue to locate a third missing person. I hope the third boy will be found alive very quickly."
