Europeans Visiting U.S. for World Cup Fall in Love with America: ‘The Most Wonderful People in the World’
Europeans visiting the United States for the 2026 World Cup have found themselves pleasantly surprised by small-town America, Buc-ee’s, Target, large portion sizes, and unlimited soda refills, according to footage circulating on social media. “We owe America a huge apology, because America is nothing like the media tells us,” one World Cup fan said. “Everyone is so friendly — I’ve honestly had the best time.”
“I can refill this a thousand times,” one shocked Italian World Cup fan declared, sitting at a restaurant with a glass of Coca-Cola. A video compilation of Europeans reacting to what they find in the United States shows. …
Another clip shows a separate Italian World Cup fan exiting an establishment with a drink in a to-go cup, seemingly taken aback as he tells the camera, “I asked for a medium size.”
“That’s medium,” his friend responds, to which the Italian man replies by exclaiming, “[What the…] medium? My entire family can drink from here for one month!”
Elsewhere, inside a Walmart, a man from England is seen standing in an aisle, telling the camera, “Look at all this car stuff. I’m in heaven.” he then turns to look at other items on the shelves, and adds, “What’s happening? I can get bread, milk, and an air rifle.” …
Another video shows a Sweden fan in Texas, wearing a cowboy hat as he praises Buc-ee’s. …
“Go Buc-ee’s! Great place!” the Swedish man adds. “I love the beef jerky. We love the cowboy style. You’re great.”

DEA Reportedly Let Fentanyl Flood Border States: ‘We 100% Got People Killed’
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) intentionally allowed hundreds of thousands or even millions of fentanyl pills to cross the New Mexico border from 2023-2025, according to the Associated Press.
In a response to the Daily Caller, the DEA rejected the characterization that they had knowingly permitted fentanyl to reach communities.
Yet despite having detailed knowledge on fentanyl shipments crossing the border and monitoring them, the DEA did not seize them, according to information DEA Special Agent David Howell and an anonymous former DEA supervisor shared with AP. Instead, they reportedly used the information to build major drug-trafficking cases.
Alex Uballez, the U.S. attorney for New Mexico from 2022 to 2025, admitted to letting some drug shipments cross the border, but defended the practice, telling AP that catching “bigger fish” will ultimately “save more lives.” One such investigation resulted in the largest fentanyl bust in DEA history, which saw agents seize around 3 million fentanyl pills in May 2025.
Despite the eventual bust, however, Howell and several veteran DEA agents expressed concern that allowing so many drugs over the border while they built their case presented a major health risk.
“We poisoned our community to make cases,” Howell told the AP during a series of interviews. “Through our own willful blindness, we get to say, ‘We don’t really know what happened to the drugs.’ But we 100% got people killed.”

Education Department investigating three Michigan school district over alleged Title IX violations
Title IX also upholds biological differences between men and women and protects sex-segregated sports in K-12 public schools and higher education.
The Education Department is investigating three Michigan school districts following reports of athletics and locker room policies reflecting students’ “self-professed ‘gender identities’” rather than biological sex.
The investigation, announced Thursday and led by the department’s Office of Civil Rights, more specifically responds to complaints of Title IX violations against the Chippewa Valley School District as well as Ann Arbor and Monroe public schools.
The Trump administration has opened numerous investigations into schools suspected of violating Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex and guarantees “equal athletic opportunity” for both genders.

UK Needs To Ditch Censorship And Mass Migration, Not Just Keir Starmer
The mass censorship regime the U.K. put in place does not allow the British people to talk about major crises in the public square.
United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his resignation Monday morning after less than two years of overseeing civilizational decline in Britain. But just because the country got rid of “the worst Prime Minister of the worst Government of the worst party,” as one member of Parliament said, does not mean it is very much closer to solving its anti-Western crises like censorship and mass migration.
Starmer was the U.K.’s sixth prime minister in less than a decade — a churning in leadership consisting of Labour and Conservative governments starting right around the vote of the British people to leave the European Union. Reform U.K. leader Nigel Farage, who led that Brexit charge as a member of the European Parliament and is now a member of the U.K. Parliament, said that turnover is a result of Conservative and Labour — the “uniparty” — refusing to truly fulfill that Brexit mandate.

UK bishops welcome child safety but cautious on social media ban for under 16
Bishops across the UK and other Catholic leaders say they want more information before endorsing a proposal to ban social media for youth under 16.
Catholic bishops across the United Kingdom say they need to see more legislative detail before supporting government proposals to ban social media for youth under 16.
On June 15, Secretary of State for Science, Innovation, and Technology Liz Kendall announced to the House of Commons that the government “will ban social media companies providing their services to under 16s.”
Kendall said that the UK would be following the same model as Australia, which was the first country in the world to ban social media for youth under 16. The UK ban is due to come into effect early next year.
In an email response to EWTN News on June 17 regarding whether bishops of England and Wales support the proposed ban, a spokeswoman for the Catholic Bishops’ Conference for England and Wales said: “Until the government publishes further details it’s hard to give a yes or no answer.”

‘Providential’: Bishop Hansen on Oslo’s new shrine for persecuted Christians
Hansen received a proposal to establish the shrine in 2025, months after being consecrated Bishop of Oslo, following a Vatican diplomatic career.
A priest was killed in Sudan’s Nuba Mountains the day before Bishop Fredrik Hansen inaugurated a new shrine dedicated to persecuted Christians in Oslo, Norway.
At first glance, these two events thousands of miles apart might seem unrelated. Fr. Youhanna Al-Amin was killed June 19, reportedly in retaliation for denouncing the theft of medicine intended for the local population. Hansen inaugurated the shrine to Mary, Mother of Persecuted Christians, June 20 at the Church of St. John in Oslo’s Bredtvet neighborhood.
Yet in the communion of the Church, everything is connected. The new shrine’s purpose is to give Catholics a place where they can pray together for priests and laity confronting dangers similar to those faced by Fr. Youhanna.
Hansen received a proposal to establish the shrine in August 2025, seven months after he was consecrated as Bishop of Oslo, following a Vatican diplomatic career. The idea came from Fr. Benedict Kiely, an English priest of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham who runs Nasarean.org, a charity supporting persecuted Christians.
As part of his mission, Kiely invites bishops around the world to install shrines with an icon of Mary, Mother of Persecuted Christians. The image is an Eleusa icon, with an inscription in the top-left corner that reads “Mary, Mother of Persecuted Christians” in Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus. Shrine locations include New York, London, and Stockholm, as well as Astana in Kazakhstan and Qaraqosh in Iraq.
