Ursula von der Leyen has targeted Viktor Orbán in a striking display of hostility. The accusations and investigations emerging from the European Union against Hungary suggest a broader campaign steeped in a condition known as Hungarophobia or Magyarophobia.

Judge Michael Nachmanoff, assigned to oversee James Comey’s criminal trial, has raised eyebrows due to significant conflicts of interest. Rather than recusing himself, Nachmanoff has chosen to proceed with the case, casting doubt on the impartiality of the judicial process involved.
