USA - FedEx Founder and Executive Chairman Fred Smith warned during an interview that the BRIC nations — which primarily consist of Brazil, Russia, India, and China — have set out to dethrone the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency, and if that happens, the standard of living that Americans are accustomed to will be gone forever. Smith made the warning during an interview with Bret Baier while talking about today’s inflation report showing that inflation was worse than projected and that prices are up overall 17.9% since Biden took office. Smith said during a recent speech that in order to avoid a catastrophic fiscal crisis, political leaders needed to recognize the extreme and unprecedented dangers that are facing the US and that grand comprise would be needed to fix these problems. When asked during the interview if he was seeing leaders step up to the plate to address the crisis, he responded: “No, quite the contrary.”
USA - As the second anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine is less than two weeks away, a British military think-tank warned Tuesday in a report that the world is facing "what is likely to be a more dangerous decade." "The current military-security situation heralds what is likely to be a more dangerous decade, characterized by the brazen application by some of the military powers to pursue claims," the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) wrote in its annual report titled "Military Balance." IISS said the "era of insecurity" has reshaped the global defense-industrial landscape, with the US and Europe quickly increasing ammunition and missile production "after decades of underinvestment." The reversal was triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Israel's war against Hamas militants in Gaza, and increasing uncertainties in the South China Sea.
USA - America was founded on the principle that “all men are created equal.” So how did whites end up at the bottom of a new hierarchy of races? Why are lawsuits by whites alleging “reverse discrimination” – racism of another kind – on the rise? The ground was thus prepared for radical activism and divisive Critical Race Theory (CRT) to take root. CRT posits that whites are privileged oppressors, raceless and of inferior status; people of color are victims; and inequality is always the result of discrimination. A racial industrial complex of leftists, anarchists, and NGOs has created an ecosystem that has chilled speech and association, ratcheted up interracial hostility, and relegated whites to the lowest rung of the new, politically correct social order.
USA - Last week, Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Jordan Peterson helped expose the failures of Illinois’ public education system on X. Their engagement with a Wirepoints report, “Illinois education 2022: Not a single student can do math at grade level in 53 schools. For reading, it’s 30 schools,” revealed the thousands of students trapped in completely failing schools in 2022.
USA - With Washington’s culture used to easy money, going the other direction will not be easy. However, it is absolutely necessary for America’s fiscal health and prosperity. Both chambers of Congress are locked in fierce battles over spending legislation. A “supplemental” package has found bipartisan support in the Senate after the removal of [some] border and immigration provisions. However, its $95 billion price tag — $60 billion of which would go to Ukraine — means there will be stiff resistance in the House.
USA - I find this hard to fathom. What can be the cause when there is so much education on how not to get pregnant. There were 61 million people who died in 2023 - Not by abortion. More people died from abortion than any other cause of death [ approx 200,000 per day! ] 73 million vs 61 million other deaths. You would think that with all the health care available it would be possible to find a better way to avoid getting pregnant. Also abortion puts the mother at risk of various illnesses and trauma. Also possible death.
USA - There are days when I wake up in an America I hardly recognize. Some of that is my age, but much of it is astonishment. A part of me is thankful that my grandparents are not alive to witness what we all are. They would not have tolerated what we now take for granted.
GERMANY - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz took a veiled jab at ex-US President Donald Trump, suggesting he would “gamble” with European security after Trump mocked “delinquent” NATO members failing to meet the bloc’s minimum defense spending threshold. Speaking alongside Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Berlin on Monday, Scholz insisted that NATO’s “promise of protection applies unreservedly,” appearing to respond to recent remarks from Trump on the campaign trail. ”And let me be clear about the current situation. Any relativization of NATO's guarantee of mutual assistance is irresponsible and dangerous and is solely in the interests of Russia. Nobody can be allowed to gamble with Europe's security,” he added.
EUROPE - NATO can’t depend on US protection forever, a prominent member of Chancellor Scholz’s party has said. US allies in Europe should not have to keep relying on Washington for a nuclear deterrent, the German ruling party’s top candidate for the upcoming European Parliament election said on Tuesday. Katarina Barley, the leading MEP from Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democratic Party (SPD), was asked to comment on recent remarks by US presidential hopeful Donald Trump that Washington should not defend NATO allies who fail to meet their payment targets. “In view of Donald Trump’s recent statements, we can no longer rely on” the US providing European NATO members with its nuclear umbrella, Barley told the German daily Tagesspiegel. A “European bomb” could become a step on the way to a ‘European army,’ she added.
EUROPE - Europe must ramp up production of armaments massively and urgently, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Monday, warning that the continent now “does not live in times of peace”. Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony for Rheinmetall’s new munitions factory, Scholz said European nations must pool together orders and financing to provide the defence industry with purchase guarantees for the next decades. “This is urgently necessary because the painful reality is that we do not live in times of peace,” he said, pointing to Russia's war on Ukraine. “We must move from manufacturing to mass production of armaments,” he said, arguing that “those who want peace must be able to successfully deter aggressors”.
EUROPE - The Institut International d’Etudes Bancaires was set up in the aftermath of World War II to foster closer ties among financial institutions. For more than seven decades, a secretive and highly influential organization has been bringing together the heads of Europe’s largest banks twice a year at luxury hotels and royal palaces across the continent to discuss global policymaking among other issues, according to a report by the Financial Times on Monday.
USA - The other 12 countries that have more homeless are third-world nations.
- US – 653,104 homeless
- UK — 380,000 homeless
- Russia – 11,285 homeless
- Japan — 3,065 homeless
USA - In a recent statement posted to social media, Tucker Carlson explained succinctly his many reasons for traveling to Russia to interview President Vladimir Putin. His decision, mired in an avalanche of outrage from leftist media talking heads and a multitude of western politicians, was inspired by Carlson’s concern that Americans have been misdirected by corporate propaganda leaving the public completely uneducated on the war in Ukraine and what tensions with the East might lead to. In fact, I don’t think the majority of Americans have a clue what the real consequences of a global war with Russia and its allies would look like. Even if the conflict never resulted in shots fired and stayed confined to the realm of economic warfare, the US and most of Europe would be devastated by the effects.
ISRAEL - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the Israeli military Friday to prepare a plan to evacuate Palestinian civilians from the Gaza town of Rafah, on the Egyptian border, and to attack and destroy the last Hamas battalions there. Israel has said for days that it intends to attack Hamas in Rafah, the last area of the Gaza Strip that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have not struck. The town is crucial to Israeli victory: it is used by Hamas to smuggle weapons, and people in and out.
USA - Biden has a long history of gaffes. How did last night’s mix-up — in which he referred to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi as the president of Mexico — compare with his broader history of speaking in public? Confusing Sisi for Andrés Manuel López Obrador is the sort of gaffe that is classic Biden. In any other setting, people might have just rolled their eyes.
