Max Lawson's demands are clear. As Germany, France, Canada, Japan, Italy, the US and the UK — otherwise known as the Group of Seven — gather with EU representatives for their annual meeting this year at the luxurious Schloss Elmau high in the Bavarian Alps, the head of the inequality policy program at Oxfam is calling on the leaders of these wealthy countries to cancel the debt crippling the globe's poorest nations. "It's really dramatic," Stormy-Annika Mildner, executive director of the Aspen Institute Germany, a think tank, told DW. "They're paying almost more on servicing their debt than they're getting...

St. Louis Fed President Bullard made a remark the other day that consumers are healthy so a recession is unlikely. Consumers are healthy? It is true that the US U-3 uemployment rate is low (3.6% versus 14.70% in April 2020 thanks to government shutdowns over Covid). But even though unemployment is low, consumer sentiment is at its lowest point since 1977. Generally, consumer sentiment is high when unemployment is low, but not this time around. Currently, inflation is at the highest level since March 1980 even though consumer sentiment bottomed-out in April 1980. Here is my chart showing that REAL...

CHICAGO -- Chicago weekend shootings have left at least 25 shot, five fatally, police said. One person was killed and another wounded after gunmen opened fire on a CTA bus Sunday afternoon in West Garfield Park. About 1:20 p.m., two armed males entered the bus in the 300-block of South Pulaski Road, walked to the back and began shooting at two people on board, police said. A male, whose age was unknown, was shot in the head and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said. A man, 24, suffered a graze wound to the head...

Arizona’s Attorney General has filed a lawsuit against Scottsdale Unified School District and its former board president for allegedly barring citizens from commenting on certain issues during meetings. According to Attorney General Mark Brnovich (R), Jann-Michael Greenburg “limited the public’s ability” to offer their opinions on masking during two meetings in August, Fox News reported Monday. Brnovich wrote about the lawsuit in a recent social media post, saying, “Parents should never be silenced regarding the education of their children”: The lawsuit stated: During a series of meetings in August 2021 Defendants violated the Open Meeting Law by knowingly structuring an...

After their twin defeats at the Supreme Court last week, regarding two of their most sensitive issues (both of which derive from their devotion to cultural suicide, which is their principal objective), don’t expect them to give up easily. They subscribe to their version of Islamism or the Brezhnev Doctrine: once they’ve conquered moral or physical territory, it can never go back to the way it was. They see themselves as the heroes of their own movies, good red-diaper babies constantly battling the forces of revanchism and irrendentism, which are you. The idea that they’re the bad guy never occurs...

s reactions from Friday’s landmark Supreme Court ruling continue to pour in, it has become evident that many conservatives have yet to realize that the good news resulting from the decision—which overturned Roe v. Wade and ended the nearly 50-year recognition of abortion as a constitutional right—goes far beyond the pro-life movement and protection of the unborn. As monumental as the Dobbs decision is for unborn children and pro-life activists who have spent decades tirelessly working to overrule Roe and defend the right to life, Dobbs demonstrates that, for the first time in a generation, the Supreme Court is not...

A criminal’s skin color shouldn’t allow him to escape justice. That would be actual systemic racism. Police in Washington state must now take a suspect’s race into account before doing their job. The state Supreme Court unanimously ruled earlier this month that a suspect deserves special treatment should he happen to be nonwhite. “Today, we formally recognize what has always been true: in interactions with law enforcement, race and ethnicity matter,” Justice Mary Yu declared. “Therefore, courts must consider the race and ethnicity of the allegedly seized person as part of the totality of the circumstances when deciding whether there...

Something is wrong with President Joe Biden, and everyone knows it. But it would at least be nice if the president knew what he was talking about. Biden’s handlers came up with a new way to deflect when Joe has one of his “cognitive spells,” he simply fluffs it off with a self-deprecating joke, and the audience awkwardly laughs. The entire “Alzheimer’s moment” is just laughed off, and brushed aside as if it’s some normal, everyday occurrence. However when he needs to face reporters his handlers are doing everything they can to remove the reporters or to keep them quiet!

Like a stunned adolescent whose reckless incompetence totaled the family car, the Left seems shocked that America proved so fragile after all. "There is a great deal of ruin in a nation." — Adam Smith The Left has been tempting fate since January 2021—applying its nihilist medicine to America on the premise that such a rich patient can ride out any toxic shock. Our elites assume that all our nation’s past violent protests, all its would-be revolutions, all its cultural upheavals, all its institutionalized lawlessness were predicated on one central truth—America’s central core is so strong, so rich, and so...

Michael Matt's YouTube religious commentary on the Dobb's decision. Importantly, it includes an interview (at approx. 32 min.) with Theresa Barbale a Florida mother who is countering an incidious Internet online Planned Parenthood app. called 'Roo' that is being used in public schools to brainwash young kids. Matt admits he knew nothing about Roo and that includes me. Theresa has developed her own app - 'My Mentor" to combat this Planned Parenthood grooming (indoctrination) tool.

I usually leave my spouse rants to other forums (and on occasion - my ears). But her rant about the latest Supreme Court ruling has received so many digital fist-bumps that I had to share it here. With that said, I humbly present to you - my wife - lady jimjohn (un-redacted). ___________________________________________________________ With apologies to my more delicate friends: I will give you a minute to leave the room before I rant... Ok. To the rest of you: I don’t care what side of this issue you are on…stop with the drama and overreacting. This decision changes very little....

Millions of California taxpayers will get “inflation relief” payments after lawmakers have reached an agreement on the framework of the 2022-23 budget. The deal also suspends the state's sales tax on diesel. The framework includes giving 23 million Californians direct payments of up to $1,050. The payments would be issued via direct deposit refunds or debit cards to tax filers by late October. Single filers who make less than $75,000 would get $350. Joint filers with an income under $150,000 would receive $700. If they have at least one dependent, they will receive an additional $350. So for example, that...

Already gone! Russia defaulted on its foreign-currency sovereign debt for the first time in a century, the culmination of ever-tougher Western sanctions that shut down payment routes to overseas creditors. For months, the country found paths around the penalties imposed after the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine. But at the end of the day on Sunday, the grace period on about $100 million of snared interest payments due May 27 expired, a deadline considered an event of default if missed. It’s a grim marker in the country’s rapid transformation into an economic, financial and political outcast. The nation’s eurobonds have traded...

IPray For The Peace of JerusalemGenesis 2727 When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see, he called for Esau his older son and said to him, “My son.” “Here I am,” he answered. 2 Isaac said, “I am now an old man and don’t know the day of my death. 3 Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me. 4 Prepare me the kind of tasty food I like and bring it to me to eat, so that I...
