On Tuesday, the first "Model Y" vehicles were handed over to customers during the opening ceremony. The Model Y vehicles for Europe had been previously imported from Tesla's Gigafactory in Shanghai. Tesla had hoped that it could roll out cars last summer, but environmental concerns, especially about wastewater treatment at its battery factory, were some of the factors that delayed plans. In late 2021, health and environment authorities in the state of Brandenburg had allowed Tesla to expand testing of cars, but not to sell them. Now that the factory is open, Tesla hopes to produce about 30,000 vehicles in...

Beneath the gold onion domes of the Danilov Monastery a few miles south of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin’s chief shaman explains why Russia is hell-bent on destroying Ukraine. “If we see [Ukraine] as a threat, we have the right to use force to ensure the threat is eradicated,” Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill recently preached to his church’s 90 million faithful followers. “We have entered into a conflict which has not only physical but also metaphysical significance. We are talking about human salvation, something much more important than politics.” The wartime coalition between Putin and his patriarch is called symphonia, an...

Workers aren't returning, and it's crushing the local economy.NYC's 7.6% unemployment rate is shockingly high compared with the rest of the country (nationwide average of 3.8%) as an economic recovery is slow to materialize, according to Bloomberg.

ALEXANDR DUGIN, top Russian philosopher, on the war in Ukraine: "... This is not a war with Ukraine. It's a comparison with globalism as a whole planetary phenomenon. It’s a comparison on all levels - geopolitical and ideological. Russia rejects everything in globalism - unipolarism, atlantism, on the one hand, and liberalism, anti-tradition, technocracy, Grand Reset in one word, on the other. It is clear that all European leaders are part of the Atlantic liberal elite. And we’re at war with this exactly. Here's their legitimate reaction. Russia is now excluded from the globalist networks. She has no choice anymore:...
