Conservative champion, Hungary’s PM Viktor Orbán, is a politician with very strong geopolitical views and a willingness to implement those views, even against fierce pressure.
On the one hand, we have his heroic anti-war stance as in Orbán’s Hungary ‘Redefining’ Relationship With NATO, Will Not Participate in Any Ukraine Operations.
On the other, we have a leader that is calling for the right to organize and seize power in the European Union, as in ‘The EU Leadership Has Got to Go’: Hungarian PM Orbán Kicks off Campaign for European Elections With a Call to ‘Occupy Brussels’.
So it stands to reason that Orbán would call for the union of two of the biggest conservative figures in the continent, Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and French RN party leader Marine Le Pen.
Meloni is on a good footing right now, as Conservative PM Giorgia Meloni’s Italy is the Fastest Growing European Economy, Leaving Liberal Germany Behind.
She has also manifested hope of a united right, as in Italian PM Meloni Will Run in June European Elections, Wants To ‘Bring Together the Centre-Right Forces and Send the Left Into Opposition’.
Having said that, the relationship with Marine Le Pen is said to be far from close. We indeed see Le Pen usually teaming with other conservative forces in Italy, as in Conservative Bond: Italian Salvini and French Le Pen United Against Mass Migration, Ahead of EU Elections Next Year.
But Marine Le Pen has now publicly asked Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to form a ‘right-wing super group’ in the next European Parliament – a call echoed by Orbán.
Politico reported:
“In an interview with French weekly magazine Le Point, the Hungarian prime minister said the ‘future of the sovereignist camp in Europe, and of the right in general, now rests in the hands of two women’, arguing that if the French far-right figurehead and Italian leader work together ‘within a single group or a coalition, they will be a force for Europe’.
Meloni’s party, Brothers of Italy, currently sits with the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) in the EU parliament, while Le Pen’s National Rally is part of the Identity and Democracy (ID) group.”
With conservatives expected to surge in the June 6-9 EU election, Le Pen advocates for a single rightwing group.
Such a group could become the second force in Parliament.
“Orbán shares Le Pen’s vision. The momentum which would result from such a partnership ‘could be enough to reshape the configuration of the European right, or even supplant the European People’s Party’, he said.”
Orbán’s party left the European People’s Party (EPP) in 2021.
While holding talks to join Meloni’s ‘European Conservatives and Reformists’, he wants to understand the ECR relationship with Le Pen’s ‘Identity and Democracy’ — which the Hungarians favor — and the EPP, which Orbán criticizes as being ‘under German influence’.
“’Apart from the number of seats a particular party wins, the most important thing, in my opinion, will be the number of MEPs prepared to go further in the war in Ukraine and the number who will be in favor of ending it’, said Orbán, who has frequently opposed European sanctions against Russia and aid packages for Ukraine as it fends off Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion.”

Afghan “refugee” Sulaiman attacks Michael Stürzenberger with a knife Friday
Leading German Islam critic Michael Stürzenberger was attacked by a crazed Muslim with a knife and nearly killed at a rally in Mannheim Friday. A police officer was also seriously injured after tackling the wrong person and turning his back on the terrorist. A total of 6 people were injured.
Michael Stürzenberger has been raising awareness of the threat posed by what he calls “political Islam” since a friend of his was killed in the Mumbai Hotel Attack 2008. Stürzenberger rejects the use of terms like “radical Islam” and “Islamism,” claiming that Islam is not merely a religion but a political ideology that always seeks to assume power once in the plurality.
Thoroughly censored and defamed by legacy media, he holds street rallies with supporters of the Civil Movement Pax Europa (BPE), where he often debates with angry young Muslim men in amazingly cool-headed fashion.
The German government has sought to jail him on ridiculous charges, even though Stürzenberger takes great pains to obey the law and refrain from attacking “all Muslims.”
The Gateway Pundit has reported on the campaign against Stürzenberger for years.
Donald Trump Jr. shared a video of Stürzenberger and fellow Islam critic Irfan Peci 2023, in which a young Muslim man stated “we must use violence to institute an Islamic state once Muslims are a majority”.
Anyone with a brain knew this was coming but the woke morons in charge will continue to welcome in their own demise till it’s too late. https://t.co/Gpx6WbH9iL

Stürzenberger and his supporters have continued their brave work despite constant death threats and occasional attacks.
Now, after pro-Hamas protestors have taken to the streets in Germany unopposed, calling for the institution of Sharia law and a caliphate in Germany, an Afghan man identified as Sulaiman (25) felt emboldened enough to attack Stürzenberger with a combat knife in Mannheim Friday, May 31.
The video makes clear the police, who are usually tasked with harassing Stürzenberger and supporters rather than defend him, did not know how to respond.
The first officer to intervene tackled a Stürzenberger supporter and was then stabbed in the neck after turning his back on the terrorist. One of six officers looking on finally opened fire after 15 seconds, injuring the terrorist.

The Gateway Pundit is in touch with Michael Stürzenberger in his hospital bed, from where he sends thanks to all his supporters. He was stabbed in the face from the cheek to the lips, the chest near the lungs, and the thigh near an artery.
Fortunately, he is now in stable condition and vowing to continue the fight for freedom with a smile:
“It was really close call yesterday. Just now, four doctors came for the ward rounds.”
“The stab wound to the side of the chest, which went towards the lung, could have been life-threatening.”
“The stab wound to the thigh hit veins and caused significant blood loss.”
“There was also a second stab wound to the leg above the knee, fortunately without injuring the tendon.”
“The injury to the upper arm is relatively minor. It’s different with the stabs to the face.”
“I have staples in the side of my jaw. The upper lip was stitched, I had a gaping open wound up to the teeth.”
“A big thank you to all the doctors and the facial surgeons who came especially from a specialized clinic.
“What a single Afghan “refugee” can do with a knife…“

Dutch political leader Geert Wilders expressed his support for Stürzenberger:
‘”Terrible! Michael Stürzenberger – who has interviewed me several times – is now the victim of a cowardly act of terror.”

Melinda Gates
While Melinda Gates has discussed her Catholic upbringing, she seems to embrace the same cafeteria Catholic approach used by Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi to justify a myriad of horrid behaviors, including embracing, championing, and funding abortion.
On May 28, 2024, she announced plans to give tens of millions of dollars globally to support abortion through the foundation she founded in 2015, Pivotal Ventures.
Carol Tobias, president of the National Right to Life Committee, told The National Catholic Register, “Melinda French Gates could do much to help women and their preborn children on the national — and even international level — yet she has decided instead to pour money into the abortion industry that already makes billions of dollars by taking the lives of innocent preborn children.”
“Tragically, this kind of ‘help’ destroys lives and damages women.”
And Gates has promised lots of money to destroy lives, approximately $200 million.
Pivotal Ventures said the new grants are “aimed at supercharging the work of organizations that are fighting in the U.S. to advance women’s power and protect their rights, including reproductive freedom.”
The National Catholic Register reports that some of the abortion-supporting recipients of Gates’ largesse include:
Center for Reproductive Rights, a legal advocacy organization headquartered in New York City founded in 1992, advocates for abortion-friendly laws in Latin America, Europe, Asia and the United States. The organization reported for its fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, gross receipts of about $66.8 million, according to its Internal Revenue Service Form 990.
The Collaborative for Gender + Reproductive Equity, founded in 2018 in New York City by the David & Lucile Packard Foundation, provides money to other organizations. The collaborative was founded “to bring new money and new donors into work around gender and reproductive equity” and to stop contraception and abortion from being kept separate “from other gender-equity issues, whether that is childcare, paid leave, pay equity, or LGBTQ rights,” according to a March 2023 interview.
National Women’s Law Center is a legal advocacy organization headquartered in Washington, D.C., whose website includes a landing page with the headline “Abortion Always.” The law center reported for its fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, gross receipts of about $25 million.
Collective Future Fund is a feminist organization founded in 2020 that gives money to other organizations. Its grant recipients include the National Network of Abortion Funds, which pays for abortions. The Collective Future Fund drew support in July 2020 from Mackenzie Scott, the billionaire ex-wife of billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
Ms. Foundation for Women, an organization founded in 1972 by Gloria Steinem and several other women, advocates for abortion, among other things, through grants and other types of support. The foundation reported for its fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, gross receipts of about $26 million.

Former New York Rep. Lee Zeldin reacted to the Trump verdict this week and released a statement reminding people who the real threat to democracy is in this case. It’s Joe Biden and the Democrats.
Zeldin points out what pretty much everyone knows. That Alvin Bragg ran on ‘getting’ Trump for something, anything really.
Zeldin published his statement on Twitter.
This political persecution, designed to interfere with the 2024 election, was a disgusting abuse and weaponization of the criminal justice system. This ruling is obviously going to be overturned on appeal, but, for Democrats, this case was never about the merits. pic.twitter.com/rde2prugV2

Townhall has transcribed parts of the copy:
This case should have never been brought forward in the first place. This political persecution, designed to interfere with the 2024 election, was a disgusting abuse and weaponization of the criminal justice system. This ruling is obviously going to be overturned on appeal, but, for Democrats, this case was never about the merits. This was a coordinated effort by a District Attorney fulfilling a campaign pledge to prosecute Trump without the slightest clue of the possible charge. With the help of the Biden Justice Department, this sham trial was a campaign inside of a campaign to secure a talking point, regardless of how much damage it could cause to our country and criminal justice system…
There is no greater threat to Democracy than Joe Biden and the Democrats trying to lock up Biden’s chief political opposition for the rest of his life, keep Trump off the campaign trail, bankrupt him and his family, remove him from the November ballot, and deny Americans the right to choose for themselves who they want to elect as their next President. This all serves as a reminder of just how urgent and necessary our victory will be November 5th.
Zeldin made similar points during an appearance on ABC News:
The world witnessed today the conclusion of one of the most un-American political persecutions that will ever take place in our country. This case will be successfully appealed, but for Biden, Bragg and the Democrats, this was never about the merits. pic.twitter.com/JxE0WXny9U

President Trump receives a standing ovation at UFC 302
In a resounding display of public support, former President Donald Trump was met with thunderous applause and a standing ovation as he made his first public appearance at UFC 302 in Newark, NJ, just two days after a controversial and widely criticized guilty verdict in his Manhattan “hush money” trial.
The Prudential Center in New Jersey erupted into cheers as Trump, undeterred by the recent legal battles, stepped into the venue, signaling not just support but a profound backlash against a corrupt judicial process aimed at undermining his political influence.
The conviction, occurring merely 10 miles away in New York, has been slammed as a product of a kangaroo court led by partisan interests.

This is Trump’s first public appearance since he held a press conference at Trump Tower Friday after he was convicted on 34 sham felony charges in the New York City courthouse on Thursday.
“We’re going to be appealing it on many different things. He wouldn’t allow us to have witnesses. He wouldn’t allow us to talk. He wouldn’t allow us to do anything,” said Trump during his press conference.
Trump is expected to appeal Merchan’s ruling to greatly restrict the testimony of Trump’s star witness, former FEC Commissioner Bradley Smith, who would have exalted Trump of any alleged, bogus, fake crime.
“He was waiting for two days, and when it was his turn, Bragg’s people protested, and the judge knocked him out and said you can’t testify. He actually said you can’t testify for anything having to do with the trial; you can say what the federal elections is. Well, that doesn’t help. Everybody knows that. But you can’t testify,” said Trump at one point during his press conference
“It all comes out of the White House,” said Trump of his political persecution. He continued, “Crooked Joe Biden, the worst president in the history of our country.
He’s the worst president in the history of our country, the most incompetent; he’s the dumbest president we’ve ever had. He’s the dumbest President, most incompetent president, and he’s the most dishonest president we’ve ever had.”
Trump gave an outstanding speech that wasn’t a campaign stump speech, and he spoke so clearly and powerfully for 33 straight minutes. Meanwhile, Joe Biden is “a man who can’t put two sentences together,” as Trump noted during his press conference. This is why the prosecution and Merchan placed Trump under a gag order.
Trump’s campaign revealed on Friday that Donald Trump’s reelection campaign had raised nearly $53 MILLION off of his conviction in Merchan’s Kangaroo Court!
Keep in mind that Joe Biden previously set a record with an event that raked in a previously unprecedented $25 million. About a week later, Trump set another record unprecedented event with a fundraising amount of over $50 million!
President Trump’s nearly $53 Million in 24 hours is not something to be totally surprised about as the Americans denounce political prosecution.
