European leaders embarrassed themselves over Ceuta

Sanchez' Spain swiftly dealt with the incursion of 60,000 Moroccan migrants sent to Ceuta as part of Morocco's hybrid warfare strategy, and after showing zero solidarity, anti-EU leaders backed down.

RefUK, RW media, & Eurofash are plainly trying to whip up a panic about this. Any serious report must begin by explaining that Ceuta is in Africa - not mainland Spain - and 48k+ of the 50k crossers were already returned. It is frightening how many still don't know this. Please share on all socials.

Spain's prime minister has blamed trafficking gangs after about 60,000 migrants crossed into the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta from Morocco. At least 57 people died during the surge, according to local media."Daily Mail and Daily Express from this weekend, with front page headlines "Ministers MUST stop the Spanish border invaders reaching UK" and "SPANISH BORDER CRISIS IS 'WAKE-UP CALL' FOR UK", respectively.

Beneath the smoldering gaze of a giant, crater-scarred world, the Obsidian Spires harvest echoes of forgotten stars. The molten sea remembers every civilization that vanished here, while the vast cosmic void silently awaits the next explorers to cross the threshold between time and extinction.

A dramatic sci-fi render of a volcanic alien landscape. Jagged, dark obsidian-like spires jut out from a rugged, dark purplish terrain that is partially submerged in reflective, rippling pools of fiery orange liquid. In the background, a massive, heavily cratered orange planet dominates the star-filled night sky. To the upper right, a smaller purple crescent moon hangs in the void, while a faint blue nebula glows in the top left corner.

Gravity holds a million ancient hearts in delicate captivity. Near the speed of light, their stillness shatters into radial spires—relativistic aberration weaving distance into longing. It is not an explosion, but starlight trying to outrun the silence of the void.

Digital artwork depicting an intense cosmic event, evoking a dense globular cluster or active galactic nucleus (AGN) in deep space. At the center, a tightly packed stellar core glows with stars exhibiting distinct color temperatures—from hot, high-mass blue stars to cooler, warm orange ones. Radial beams of light streak 360 degrees outward, simulating relativistic aberration or a hyperspace warp effect. Bright foreground stars feature sharp, four-pointed telescope diffraction spikes, standing out against a dark background dotted with distant stars.

We are now in a fundamentally different place from when we left the EU 10 years ago - Trump in America, Russian aggression and a predatory China. The EU was founded to prevent war and ensure peace in Europe. It is in our best security interests to be a member of the European Union.

Who needs some good news today? These pups are the future of red wolves - one of the most endangered species in the U.S. They've been hunted to near extinction with bad wildlife policies. Now the main threat is cars but wildlife recovery programs are aiming to fix that. abc11.com/post/red-wol...

Shell doubling Q2 profits to $9.84bn off Middle East turmoil shows how energy majors thrive while everyday people suffer. Funnelling $3bn into share buybacks instead of green transition is pure corporate greed. Are we underestimating the real cost of this? 📉 #ClimateCrisis
