China's decisions around its agricultural policy are becoming increasingly murky with news of arrests, secrecy, and claims of cover-ups. Key points: A Chinese grains analyst has reportedly been jailed and another is said to be under house arrest Australian grains analysts say China is suppressing information about grain shortages to keep world prices down China is buying up near-record amounts of grain while reporting a bumper crop of its own Independent analysts who report on China's grains industry have reportedly been arrested and their online businesses shut down to stop them from telling the truth about the country's below-average crop....

The Navy – both in this current budget cycle and in previous years – has received criticism over its repeated strategy of wanting to divest legacy capabilities to invest in new technology and platforms. Both Rep. Elaine Luria (D-Va.), a former nuclear-qualified surface warfare officer, and Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) today expressed skepticism about the Navy’s divest to invest approach in the recent budget request. They argued the Navy has more immediate threats to address in the Indo-Pacific region.Luria, who during her career in the Navy served as the executive officer of Anzio, has been a vocal opponent of decommissioning...

As a man, I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was born white, into a two-parent household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me “privileged”, and a white supremacist & responsible for slavery. I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today’s standards, makes me a fascist because I plan, budget and support myself. I went to high school, got in some college, and have always held a job. But I now find out that I am not here because I earned it, but because I was “advantaged”. I...

Earlier this month, Wealthion (a new YouTube channel featuring interviews with today's top experts in money & the markets) hosted its first online conference, at which economist Dr Lacy Hunt made a strong case in his keynote presentation that deflation -- not inflation -- will win the day going forward. He predicts that much of the sudden sharp rise we are seeing in input prices will indeed be transitory. And he presented a parade of econometric data that show many historical precedents why this is likely to be the case. Of course, the current debt, demographic and technological trends are...

Former Arizona Secretary of State and current senate liaison for the Maricopa County audit, Ken Bennett, has said that they need to investigate anomalies such as 52 ballots that came from a single two-bedroom home.

Additionally, Bennett stated that the Maricopa Board of Supervisors is refusing to provide information related to the routers used and administrative passwords for the tabulation machines.

Recent reports of COVID-19 infections aboard cruise ships — along with simple math — suggest that it will be nearly impossible for any cruise line to return to the seas without the coronavirus lurking. All vaccines are less than 100% effective, so chances are strong that at least some passengers will be infected among the thousands aboard even “fully vaccinated” voyages. Chances of more severe outbreaks are even greater in light of a court ruling Friday in favor of Gov. Ron DeSantis, who wants to stop cruise lines from requiring vaccinations. Cruise lines faced with infections will have to perform...

Funeral Homes are saying the only ones dying are those taking the vaccine. Funeral Directors around the world are now speaking out and are confirming what everyone has known except those still asleep. Directors are reporting that hospitals are virtually empty and that no one is dying of covid. It's all a lie to deceive the public into prompting them to get the vaccine which is not in reality, a vaccine. They are saying that come the Winter season, the vaccinated will begin dying in droves all around the world.

What might happen if Republican senators were serious about confronting the Biden Administration’s political weaponization of the intelligence community? Suppose I had in my hands a draft of a bill that Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) were preparing to prevent the Biden Administration from using federal agencies to encourage U.S. persons to inform anonymously on whomever of their families, acquaintances, fellow workers, etc. they suspect of becoming radicalized to violent extremism. The staffers who provided the draft would probably report that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is pressing the senators to stop work...

Gun-toting attorney Mark McCloskey has shown off his new rifle just two days after pleading guilty to misdemeanor charges and agreeing to surrender the weapon he pointed unarmed Black Lives Matter protesters. ‘Checking out my new AR,’ reads the caption. McCloskey is seen in the photos wearing a curt smile and brandishing the weapon with a finger just above the trigger. One photo also includes his wife Patricia giving a thumbs up. The gun-toting St. Louis couple, both personal injury attorneys in their 60s, appeared in court Thursday where they admitted to a judge that their actions had put peaceful...

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Republican legislatures and governors were trying “to deny people of color, young people, poor people the right to vote.” Anchor Dana Bash said, “Let’s turn to voting rights. The Senate will vote on Tuesday on a sweeping bill that will most certainly be blocked by Republicans. Senator Joe Manchin is propose ing a narrower plan, which still seems to have a lot in it for Democrats. There are things like a ban on partisan gerrymandering, restoring key parts of the Voting Rights Act. Stacey Abrams says she...

One of Facebook's top executives has admitted that the social media giant's so-called "fact-checkers" are likely biased and pursuing their own political agendas, according to a bombshell report.

Politico reports that Democrats are looking for ways to water down their proposals in hopes of getting Republican support on a piece of gun control legislation. This means shifting from universal background checks to a scenario “increasing the number of online and gun show transactions covered by federal background checks.” The threshold — i.e., the number of gun sales required to treat a private seller as a licensed sell, thereby requiring a background check — remains unannounced. Vice President Kamala Harris used a similar approach when campaigning for the presidency. On April 22, 2019, the New York Times noted Harris’...

Tens of millions of Americans have been vaccinated against COVID-19 and with that, workplaces around the country are opening up once again. But the rules that some employers and others have put into place mandating vaccines that are still not fully authorized by the Food and Drug Administration, have sparked showdowns with employees. Lawsuits have been filed against a Texas hospital, a Los Angeles school district, a North Carolina sheriff and a New Mexico detention center, to name a few. And with a portion of the population hesitant to get vaccinated, including some who outright refuse, there may be more...
