USA - The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has launched an unprecedented clean-up operation targeting jaw-dropping irregularities in the US Social Security database. Over 7 million supposed number holders aged 120 and older have now been officially marked as deceased. The official DOGE X account announced: “For the past 3 weeks, Social Security has been executing a major clean-up of their records. Approximately 7 million number holders, all listed age 120+, have now been marked as deceased. Another 5 million to go.”

USA - Hiroshima. Chernobyl. Nagasaki. Fukushima. They’re practically household names at this point. As such, most people know that the consequences of the radioactive fallout spread far beyond the borders of these towns and cities. What you may not realize, however, is just how far. In some cases, the consequences might seem trivial. Take, for example, the lack of salad greens throughout France for months following the Chernobyl disaster.

ARGENTINE - Argentine President Javier Milei dropped a bombshell at the UN General Assembly on March 24, 2025, accusing the organization of being complicit in "crimes against humanity" for supporting the lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic. Milei, known for his libertarian and anti-left stance, denounced the global measures as a systematic attack on freedom, designed to "appease bloody dictatorships" like that of Venezuela, which even held a seat on the UN Human Rights Council without criticism. The Argentine leader, true to his ideology rooted in the Austrian School of economics, lashed out at the "Leviathan with multiple tentacles" that, according to him, the UN has become, attempting to control not only states but also the life of every citizen in the world.

EUROPE - Europeans should stockpile enough food and water to last 72 hours in case of emergencies, including attack by a foreign power and natural disasters, Brussels has said. On Wednesday, the European Commission said its new EU preparedness strategy would help citizens prepare for risks including geopolitical crises, pandemics, cyber attacks, extreme weather caused by climate change and invasion. The strategy focuses on improving early warning systems, ensuring the continuity of essential services such as healthcare and drinking water and helping citizens prepare for crises. In launching the initiative, its chief said this must be the “new European way of life”. The call to action for the 450 million citizens comes amid persistent fears over Russian aggression, as well as after recent flooding and wildfires.

USA - Donald Trump said Iran could face military consequences if it did not accept a new nuclear agreement with the US within two months. Tensions between the US and Iran have erupted since Donald Trump demanded a new nuclear deal with Tehran within two months, or risk significant consequences. The US president sent a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei laying out the timeline, though it is not certain when the countdown began. If Tehran rejects his proposal and refuses to engage in negotiations, US or Israeli military action against its nuclear facilities would escalate, two sources briefed on the letter told Axios.

TAIWAN - Taiwan President Lai Ching-te oversaw on Thursday the first civil defense drills under his newly created social resilience committee simulating how to respond to a large-scale disaster like a tsunami or attacks on critical infrastructure. The drill, in the southern city of Tainan, was held under the auspices of Lai's new Whole-of-Society Defence Resilience Committee, set up last year to prepare to deal with natural disasters or other emergencies such as an attack by China, which views the democratically-governed island as its own territory. Speaking to participants after viewing some of the drills, Lai said these were the first live drills for the committee and involved around 1,500 people, and there would be more next month. "The aim is to build the resilience of the Taiwanese society to cope with large natural disasters or major accidents that cause a lot of injuries, or regional geopolitical changes. We dare not fail to prepare," he added.

MYANMAR - A 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit central Myanmar at 6.20 am UK time (12.50 pm local time) with tremors felt as far as Bangkok, 640 miles away, and elsewhere in Thailand. Myanmar’s junta, which seized control of government from the democratically elected National League for Democracy in 2021, has declared a state of emergency in six regions. The junta’s chief, General Min Aung Hlaing, has arrived at a hospital in Naypyidaw where wounded people are being treated. The junta has made a rare request for international humanitarian aid.

UK - Poisonings, kidnappings and guns: the terrifying rise in violence at schools. Murdered teenager’s mother demands government inquiry as police statistics expose growing scale of problem. Violent crime in schools has risen by nearly 25 per cent in three years, with pupils allegedly involved in poisonings, kidnappings and firearms incidents. The data, obtained from 40 police forces across the UK, show that from 2021 to 2024, almost 100,000 offences were reported. There were allegations of stalking as well as 4,500 reports of students being in possession of weapons. The statistics have been revealed as the mother of Brianna Ghey, the 16-year-old murdered by schoolmates, called for a government-led inquiry into pupil-on-pupil violence.

UK - Two in five British people raised as Christians have lost their faith, a report has found. About 58 per cent of those who grew up attending church say they are now atheist, agnostic or have converted to other faiths, while 57 per cent of non-religious British people were brought up as Christians, a report by the US-based Pew Research Centre found. The findings come as weekly attendance at Church of England services continues to decline from 1.6 million in the 1960s to 557,000 in 2023. Andrew Copson, the chief executive of Humanists UK, said: “Religious identity has been worn lightly in the UK for some time. Today’s stats, like those of the Census, show the large population who don’t believe in gods today feel much less tied to the religious label of their family, school, or community.”

USA - Speaker Johnson Issues warning: congress has the authority to defund and disband federal courts. It appears that Speaker Mike Johnson has finally woken up to the threats by radical leftist judges who have taken over the White House and US executive branch of government. Johnson on Tuesday warned that Congress has the authority to defund these radical leftists who are running a legal insurrection against the country today. Since returning to the White House on January 20, 2025, President Donald J Trump has been met with an unprecedented onslaught of legal challenges from far-left activist judges and groups determined to sabotage his second term in power.

USA - Of all the judges in the US, all five foreign-born judges of the DC court managed to get their fingerprints on controversial Trump cases. The United States District Court for the District of Columbia, the source of many of the cases interfering with President Donald Trump’s authority, has 15 judges, (Counting Chief Judge James Boasberg) and five of them were born outside the United States. While country of origin doesn’t come up in most jobs, it is worth asking if judges with ties to foreign nations and cultures are the right ones to make decisions affecting the US military or immigration.

EUROPE - Europe goes full totalitarian and puts the entire western world at risk. In the EU and UK there has been a slow burn on censorship the past ten years which has recently exploded into a California Palisades level inferno of speech restrictions. Door to door enforcement has increased as the public speaks out against multicultural policies. The excuse is always the same – Native Europeans are not allowed to criticize third world integration because it “might hurt people’s feelings”. Any opposition to mass immigration is labeled “hate speech”.

USA - Paterson, New Jersey, has quite a history. Founded as a planned industrial city in 1792, it was named after William Paterson, a signatory to the Constitution and a Garden State governor. Like so many American municipalities, it had a Main Street, too. Had, that is, because it’s now “Palestine Way” — thus officially renamed in 2022. If it seems odd that the street is officially named after a place that doesn’t officially exist, perhaps Mayor Andre Sayegh can explain. After all, Sayegh, Paterson’s first Arab head, declared the city the “capital of Palestine” earlier this month. But is this surprising? Paterson reportedly has one of the highest per capita Muslim populations among American cities, and politicians play to their audience.

GERMANY - Amid attempts by left-wing globalists — including the Green Party and socialists — to ban the party, alongside relentless smear campaigns from a politicized domestic intelligence agency and its allies in the mainstream press, public support for Alternative for Germany (AfD) continues to grow. The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has reached a record high in public support, climbing to 23.5% in a new INSA poll released on Tuesday, narrowing the gap with the country’s leading ‘conservative’ globalist alliance. “This is the highest value ever measured for the AfD in the INSA opinion trend,” Hermann Binkert, head of the INSA polling institute, told the German newspaper Bild.

USA - No more room for doubt now. It’s over. The United States has ceased to be the leader of the Western alliance. That is the clearest and most significant message that emerges from this exchange of puerile texts – which a White House official has described as a “demonstration of the deep and thoughtful policy coordination between senior officials” in the administration. If describing the European nations as a bunch of pathetic free loaders is what they do when they are being thoughtful and deep, what do they say when they are being shallow and irresponsible?
