Inside Charlene’s ‘dangerous’ spending: Monaco Princess hired ‘illegal immigrants’ on £90 a day including nannies she handed her newborn twins to and a woman who ‘ties up dogs in the shower’, former palace accountant claims
A month after succeeding to the throne aged 47 in 2005, Albert was in for a shock as one of his closely kept secrets was about to be revealed to the world.
For few knew, the prince had enjoyed a secret six-year relationship with a glamorous ex-Air France attendant who had also given birth to his son around 18 months earlier, in 2003.
The relationship between Nicole Coste and the Prince began following a chance encounter on a flight from
Inside Colony Ridge: The ‘Fastest Growing Development’ In The U.S. Is A Magnet For Illegal Immigrants
PLUM GROVE, Texas — A Texas land developer has established a sprawling settlement north of Houston where thousands of illegal immigrants are believed to have settled, raising concerns among experts and elected officials that the development 400 miles in the interior of the United States could become a strategic asset for cartels.
Located in Liberty County, Texas near the small town of Plum Grove, the Colony Ridge development is a sprawling community that, based on an analysis of publicly available
A Departure from Reality, by Viet Thanh Nguyen
If a quiet library with towering walls of books and hushed patrons and my own leather armchair is my vision of eternal bliss, this refrigerator is, if not Hell, then a purgatory with tiled floors, brightly lit hallways, bland meals under plastic covers, incapacitated patients, the constant bustle of nurses, therapists, visitors, the buzz of televisions.
I have never seen anyone

Judge Blocks Biden Administration Border Policy Limiting Access To Illegal Immigrants Seeking Asylum
A Biden administration rule limiting immigrants other than Mexican nationals from seeking asylum in the United States was blocked Tuesday by a federal judge.
U.S. District Judge Jon S. Tigar ruled against the Biden administration order, which mirrors the Trump-era “transit ban” policy requiring migrants entering through the southern border to apply online first for protection in other countries they traveled through.
Tigar, a federal judge in California appointed by former President Obama, wrote in his 35-page decision that the

The Russians Fleeing Putin’s Wartime Crackdown
When Miller arrived in Tbilisi, she was looking for a harpsichord, to prepare for an upcoming audition. She contacted a local orchestra that has Baroque instruments. After six days, her request was denied. When she pressed, she said, her contact implied that she had been turned down because she was Russian.
On my first night in Tbilisi, I saw another old friend, Katja Petrowskaja. She was born in Kyiv to a Russian-speaking Jewish family, went to high school in Moscow
How Patrick Soon-Shiong Made His Fortune Before Buying the L.A. Times
Soon-Shiong’s friends told me about his compound in Brentwood. “I see it more as a campus,” Bacharach said. Everyone brought up the basketball court. “This court is the best court I’ve ever seen in my life,” Sandiford-Artest, who played in the N.B.A. for nineteen seasons, said. “It’s insane. It’s deep under the floor, and it’s a big, N.B.A.-sized court, with locker rooms and televisions. And bowling alleys. Just like a big N.B.A. practice facility, sixty to a hundred feet underground.”
My Family Moved To America And Into A Real Haunted House. Here’s What Happened.
As a child, my first brush with a ghost wasn’t Casper or some other spook from a children’s book. I encountered the real deal in the house we rented in Pennsylvania after my family emigrated from Kuwait. It was over a century old, essentially the size and strength of a wet shoebox, and was shadowed by an ominous oak tree in a rundown neighborhood.
My dad, who grew up poor and lost his father as a teenager, had cultivated a
America Was Eager for Chinese Immigrants. What Happened?
Until the middle of the nineteenth century, settlement of America’s western frontier generally reached no farther than the Great Plains. The verdant land that Spanish conquistadors called Alta California had been claimed by Spain and then by Mexico, after it secured its independence, in 1821. In 1844, James K. Polk won the Presidency as a proponent of America’s “manifest destiny,” the belief that it was God’s will for the United States to extend from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific,
