Many in the UK are trying to ban first-cousin marriages, which lead to health and cultural problems. Muslims marry first-cousins routinely, from 50% to 80%, depending on the country they came from. It is rare in the US, and most states ban it for health risks and the risk of incest. Consanguineous marriages significantly increase […] The post Keir Starmer Won’t Ban First-Cousin Marriage, He’s Scared of Muslims appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said President Donald Trump has incredibly high testosterone levels for a man his age, and discussed the president’s bizarre diet — which includes a lot of fast food. “He’s got incredible health,” Kennedy said of President Trump during a recent appearance on The Katie Miller Podcast. Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, looked at Trump’s medical records “and said he’s got the highest testosterone level that he’s ever seen for an individual over 70 years old,” according to Kennedy, who joked that he knows Trump would be okay with him disclosing that to the public.

When asked who has “the most unhinged eating habits” in the administration, Kennedy quickly pinpointed Trump. “The interesting thing about the president, is that he eats really bad food, which is McDonald’s, and candy, and Diet Coke — he drinks the Diet Coke at all times. He has the constitution of a deity. I don’t know how he’s alive,” Kennedy joked. Doug Mills/The New York Times via Getty Images “He says that the only time he eats the junk food is when he’s on the road, and he wants to eat food from big corporations because he trusts it — he doesn’t want to get sick when he’s on the road,” the secretary explained. “But when he’s at Mar-a-Lago or at the White House, he’s eating really good food.” “If you travel with him, you get his idea that he’s just pumping himself full of poison all day long and you don’t know how he’s walking around, much less being the most energetic person any of us have ever met,” Kennedy added.

Left-wing CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins recently talked about how media folks dread traveling with Trump on Air Force One because the president “does not sleep.” “He doesn’t sleep on these trips, and you’re going to Asia or something, and that’s like the only time you’re going to sleep before you go on this trip, but Trump is just always up and talking,” Collins said a source told her. Trump, apparently, will even “wake staff up if they’re asleep because he wants to talk to them,” Collins added. Related: White House Releases Trump’s ‘Excellent’ Health Exam Summary

Christians in Syria saw the largest increase in persecution among any country in the world last year as regime change and terrorism threw the Islamic nation into chaos, according to the Christian organization Open Doors, which published its annual persecution watch list Wednesday morning. The Open Doors 2026 World Watch List revealed that Syria jumped up to No. 6 in overall Christian persecution, after coming in at No. 18 in last year’s list. Syria is now only behind North Korea, Somalia, Yemen, Sudan, and Eritrea. Open Doors CEO Ryan Brown told The Daily Wire that the recent political turmoil in Syria is the main contributing factor to the increase in persecution. “With the fall of the Assad regime and as HTS [Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham] came into power, it created a lot of vacuums of control and authority,” Brown said. “The rule of law is weak in a number of areas, and in that, there’s just been a number of extremists that have just stepped into those voids.” Brown pointed to multiple recent Islamic terror attacks targeting Syrian Christians, such as the suicide bombing in June, when a terrorist opened fire on worshipers and then detonated a suicide vest, killing more than 20 Christians and wounding over 50 more. Christians in Syria are more likely to come under attack from Islamic terrorists who are fighting for control of certain areas in the unstable country, not from the government, which is now led by former HTS leader Ahmad al-Sharaa. “The church is coming under attack especially in these areas where the government is not having a strong rule of law as part of this transition,” Brown added. “Traditionally, in some of these areas in Syria where the rule of law has not been strong, the tribalism becomes the ruling force and provides safety. Christian converts from Islam are typically rejected from these tribal infrastructures.” It remains to be seen if al-Sharaa, a former terrorist leader, will tolerate Christians in Syria if he establishes a firm grip on the country. So far, the new Syrian leader has been actively seeking to take out Islamic terrorists that remain in Syria. President Donald Trump met with al-Sharaa at the White House as he seeks to broker peace in the Middle East. The meeting marked the first time a Syrian leader and former jihadist met with the President of the United States. Brown said the 12-spot change in Syria’s ranking between 2025 and 2026 was the largest year-over-year move for any country on the persecution watch list in more than a decade. Syria, Nigeria, Pakistan, Libya, and Iran round out the top 10 of countries where Christians experience the most persecution, meaning that eight out of the top 10 countries on the 2026 World Watch List are majority Muslim nations. Nigeria Was The ‘Epicenter’ Of Violence Against Christians In 2025 More Christians in Nigeria, which came in at No. 7 on the list, were killed for their faith than in any other country. Open Doors reported that 3,490 Nigerian Christians were killed last year, which was an increase from the estimated 3,100 killed in 2024. For comparison, 1,359 Christians are estimated to have been killed for their faith in all other countries combined in 2025. Brown told The Daily Wire that Nigeria didn’t rank No. 1 on the persecution list because Open Doors considers multiple factors, not just violence, when ranking countries. “The World Watch List looks at danger, but looks at a number of other factors as well. Nigeria would be the deadliest place to be a Christian, not necessarily the most difficult because there are places in the country where Christians are able to freely worship,” Brown said. “But Nigeria continues to be an epicenter of violence in parts of the country, in parts of the middle belt as well as in the northern parts of the country.” Recent violence against Christians in Nigeria gained the attention of President Trump, who has pressured the Nigerian government to do more to protect Christians and threatened to take out terrorists in the country if they continue to target them. Iran Increased Pressure On Christians During Internal Turmoil And Conflict With Israel And U.S. Iran, which ranks No. 10 on the World Watch List, has ramped up its crackdown on Christians in the country as they are viewed as “enemies of the state” and “agents of the West,” Brown explained. The Iranian regime has arrested numerous Christians in recent months as it seeks to keep control amid growing tensions. The regime believes that Christians are influenced by the West and, therefore, plotting the overthrow of the government, and recent events have likely made the regime’s crackdown on Christians even harsher. Iran was humiliated in 2025 in its war with Israel and then by the United States, when President Trump ordered the U.S. military to strike Iranian nuclear sites. Iran is in the midst of massive demonstrations as protesters have taken to the streets, mainly over the regime’s failure to address an economic collapse. Trump has warned that he could take more action against Iran if it massacres protesters. One report indicates that the Iranian government has killed at least 12,000 demonstrators. China Continues To Target Christianity China dropped from No. 15 on the list in 2025 to No. 17 this year, but the communist country remains brutal toward Christians. In September, the Chinese government began to monitor the online activity of Christians, especially clergymen, more closely. “This was in continuation to the churches they closed down the previous year — there’s been an increase in that — but now looking to clamp down on some of the online activity of Christians in the area, making it difficult for them to communicate or to worship,” Brown said. The Daily Wire reported earlier this month that China arrested more prominent church leaders, detaining at least seven Christians affiliated with the Early Rain Covenant Church in Chengdu, a city in southwestern China. Brown said that people in China also face persecution from their local communities when they convert to Christianity, adding that many converts lose out on job or school opportunities, while some get their water or electricity cut off.

Michigan Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin said that she is under federal investigation following her role in a video made by Democratic lawmakers in November, urging military members to “refuse illegal orders.” Slotkin told The New York Times on Monday that the office of Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, reached out to the Senate sergeant-at-arms to request an interview with the first-term senator or her private counsel. Pirro’s office told The Daily Wire that it neither confirms nor denies “the existence of an investigation.” Slotkin, a former CIA officer, organized the video message to military members, which included five other Democratic lawmakers who are also veterans. Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Reps. Chris Deluzio (D-PA), Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), and Jason Crow (D-CO) all appeared in Slotkin’s video and told military members, “This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens.” “Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution,” the Democrats added. “Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear: you can refuse illegal orders … you must refuse illegal orders.” The Trump administration has referred to the group of Democrats in the video as the “Seditious Six,” arguing that their message is an attempt to undermine the commander-in-chief’s authority over the military. After the video was released, President Donald Trump suggested that it constituted “seditious behavior, punishable by death.” Trump later said that he was not threatening the Democrats with the death penalty, adding, “I think they’re in serious trouble. I would say they’re in serious trouble. I’m not threatening death, but I think they’re in serious trouble. In the old days, it was death. That was seditious behavior.” Sen. Kelly, a retired astronaut and naval officer, is currently under investigation by the War Department for his role in the “seditious video,” and War Secretary Pete Hegseth moved earlier this month to strip Kelly of his rank and retirement pay. Kelly filed a lawsuit against Hegseth on Monday, arguing that Hegseth’s action violates the First Amendment. “Pete Hegseth is coming after what I earned through my twenty-five years of military service, in violation of my rights as an American, as a retired veteran, and as a United States Senator whose job is to hold him—and this or any administration—accountable,” Kelly said. “His unconstitutional crusade against me sends a chilling message to every retired member of the military: if you speak out and say something that the President or Secretary of Defense doesn’t like, you will be censured, threatened with demotion, or even prosecuted.” Hegseth fired back, saying that Kelly is “worried and cranky.” “’Captain’ Kelly knows exactly what he did, and that he will be held to account,” he added.
