Orban offensive
Hungary's president ratcheted up the rhetoric over migration ahead of the European elections.

Jihadist homecomings
The US is demanding European countries repatriate and prosecute citizens recruited as jihadist fighters.
US President Donald Trump warned in a tweet on Sunday that Britain, France, Germany and other European allies must “take back over 800 Isis fighters that we captured in Syria and put them on trial” the alternative would be to release them and he “does not want to watch as these Isis fighters permeate Europe”.
The debate has been a hot topic in the UK after a teen who fled London four years ago to marry an ISIS fighter requested to return home.

Donald Trump ripped into the far left in today’s Raw Moment. “There’s nothing less democratic than socialism, everywhere and anywhere it appears,” he said.
