  • Javier Milei Already Taking a Chainsaw to Argentina's Rampant Inflation

    Javier Milei promised to get to work to turn around Argentina’s struggling economy. After decades of left-wing economic policies under Peronism, the people of this South American nation had enough last year. Inflation is through the roof in Argentina, where 40 percent of the population now lives in poverty. While the nation’s left-leaning political elements tried to cast Milei as insane and a threat to democratic norms, the Argentinian people saw that the economy needed radical changes, and who else to lead that than the man who wields a chainsaw at political rallies, who wants to wage war against “s**t...
  • Russia wants to topple dollar dominance, but it isn't even able to deliver oil to India with alternative currencies

    Moscow has been on a drive to replace the use of the US dollar in international trade, but there are barrels of Russian oil stuck at sea due to issues with paying in alternative currencies. Shipments of Russian Sokol grade crude oil to state-owned Indian Oil Corp, or IOC, have been delayed by payment issues, Reuters reported on Tuesday, citing two sources familiar with the matter. The seller is the state-owned Russian oil company Rosneft. The problem arose because Rosneft unit selling the oil hasn't been able to open a bank account in the United Arab Emirates to receive payments...

    If Javier Milei can pull Argentina out of the red, we can do it here. A day after his pumped-up divisive State of the Union address, unsurprisingly headlined “fiery” by the copycat media lackeys, President Biden speaking in Pennsylvania reverted to his old befuddled self. "Pennsylvania, I have a message for you: send me to Congress!" "Last night [at] the U.S. Capitol -- the same building where our freedoms came under assault on July the 6th!" "We added more to the national debt than any president in his term in all of history!" Well, the last statement is true. I’ll...
  • Right-wing politician Javier Milei wins Argentina's presidential elections, promises pro-Ukrainian stance

    Javier Milei: "I brought the Ukrainian flag because those of us who support the ideas of freedom cannot tolerate or support an invasion like Russia has done to Ukraine,” Milei said before the Argentinian legislative assembly. When questioned about the Argentinian government’s stance on Russian aggression in Ukraine, Milei criticized it, stating that the government's position is weak, and that it has been complicit in supporting the worst dictatorships.

    Good afternoon. Thank you very much. Today I’m here to tell you that the Western world is in danger. And it is in danger because those who are supposed to have to defend the values of the West are co-opted by a vision of the world that inexorably leads to socialism and thereby to poverty. Unfortunately, in recent decades, the main leaders of the Western world have abandoned the model of freedom for different versions of what we call collectivism. Some have been motivated by well-meaning individuals who are willing to help others, and others have been motivated by the...

    Manhattan Contrarian ^ | 21 Nov, 2023 | Francis Menton
    In an election held on Sunday, Argentina chose as its new President self-described libertarian Javier Milei. Milei won by a not-close margin of about 56/44 over Sergio Massa, who has been the economics minister under the incumbent President Alberto Fernandez. Milei is known for a bombastic style of speaking, and for using a chainsaw in his campaign appearances as a symbol of how he plans to hack away at the government. He is also known for having even worse hair than Donald Trump. Current President Fernandez is what they call in Argentina a “Perónist.” That’s after Juan Perón, who became...

  • Argentina's Milei says former US president Trump to visit Buenos Aires

    Former U.S. President Donald Trump will visit Buenos Aires to meet with Argentine President-elect Javier Milei, the latter's press office said in a statement on Thursday following a call between them. Argentine libertarian Milei won the presidential run-off with some 56% of the vote, well ahead of Peronist Economy Minister Sergio Massa's 44%. Milei, who takes office on Dec. 10, is pledging economic shock therapy, with measures including shutting the central bank, ditching the peso and slashing spending. Trump's office did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

    The Ministry of Defense issued a resolution announcing that it would 'eliminate incorrect forms of language,' and a presidential spokesman said the ban would extend throughout the national public administration. (LifeSiteNews) — Argentine President Javier Milei expanded his ban on “inclusive language” in the military to apply to all areas of the nation’s government. On February 23, the Ministry of Defense issued a resolution announcing that it would “eliminate incorrect forms of language” that do not “correspond to the regulations set by the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) and the Argentine Academy of Letters.” The RAE sets the universal standardization of...

    The socialist element in Argentina is having a tough time at the moment as newly elected President Javier Milei continues shrinking the government and working to make Argentinians more free. After months of cutting government programs and laying off government employees, he is now threatening to shut down a state-run news agency.During the president’s inauguration of the 142nd period of an ordinary session in the National Congress on Friday, he proposed the “Pact of May 25” and announced that he was closing the Télam news agency, referring to it as a “Kirchnerist propaganda agency.”Milei reaffirmed his commitment to eliminating the...
  • Argentina Donates Helicopters to Ukraine, Originally Purchased from Russia

    In a gesture of support for Ukraine, Argentina has donated two Mi-171E multipurpose helicopters to the country, originally acquired from Russia, as reported by the Financial Times on February 29. The decision for the transfer was personally endorsed by Argentinian President Javier Milei. President Milei, who has expressed a preference for fostering relationships with nations that prioritize freedom, such as the United States, Israel, and Ukraine, has made a significant move by donating these military helicopters, which were initially manufactured in Russia. The specifics of the agreement between Argentina and Ukraine were not made public.

    This is certainly not a knock against Thomas Sowell (he holds a special place in my heart), and this is not to discourage anyone from reading one of his most recognized and invaluable works, Basic Economics, but it is a giant book, and for the less-informed intellectual slowpokes of the left, it’s unlikely they’ll be able to get through it So, let’s just go with Afuera101, and use new Argentinian president Javier Milei’s budget cuts as a very simple illustration of what the first course of action should be for a political executive who wants to save an economy: slash...

    St. Patrick's Cathedral "only knew that family and friends were requesting a funeral Mass for a Catholic, and had no idea our welcome and prayer would be degraded in such a sacrilegious and deceptive way." The Archdiocese of New York which operates the St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City said that it shares the "outrage over the scandalous behavior at a funeral" earlier in the week for a trans activist and offered "an appropriate Mass of Reparation" to reconsecrate the cathedral. The funeral proceedings celebrated blasphemy, whoredom, and had prayers for access to sex changes. According to the statement,...

    Argentina's president, Javier Milei, traveled to Jerusalem to announce the moving of Argentina's embassy to Jerusalem, the Israeli capital where it belongs. While he was there, he put on a kippeh and pray quite intensely at the Western wailing wall. The left, of course, abused him because of course they did, but it didn't stop him. Pro Palestinians mocked & ridiculed the Argentinian President for shedding tears at the Western Wall. Yesterday at 1:00 am, 2 Argentinian Israeli hostages were rescued by IDF.

    Argentine President Javier Milei rode into power on promises to defeat Leftism and return economic liberty to the people. The levels of poverty and economic misery have reached ridiculous levels, with an estimated 40 percent of the population living in poverty. Like here in the United States, inflation is also out of control. Argentine’s liberals also vilified Milei, but the state of the economy was a major driving force with voters: they saw what decades of left-leaning policies have reaped. It was time for a change, even if it came from a man who whipped out chainsaws at rallies. One...
