Ukraine’s National bank says it now holds nearly $39 billion in foreign reserves, the highest level in the history of the country as an independent nation, as it continues to receive large deliveries of cash from allied nations. There was a $38.99 billion reserve held by Ukraine as of July first, the National Bank of Ukraine said in their latest figures, up from $37.3 billion in June. The size of the reserve is the largest since the fall of the Soviet Union, and beats the previous 2011 record of $38 billion. Per the National Bank, this reserve was achieved “thanks...

The summit aims to bring business leaders together to create "foods that are nutritious, accessible, and climate-smart." A global meeting called the Future Food-Tech summit, which takes place in the United Kingdom in September, plans to bring over 800 business leaders together to, among other things, focus on bringing "alternative proteins" into the food market. As reported by Cosmin Dzsurdzsa for True North, the group has ties to the World Economic Forum (WEF), and companies from Canada specializing in insect proteins have been invited to attend by their very own government's National Research Council. The summit aims to bring business...

UN - "Excessive force..." advanced weapons in a densely populated area, etc. - Then why is it that only 18 were eliminated and no civilan was killed? Will some of the anti-Israel goons who acts as so called "human rights" activists be happier if Israel had used less advanced weapons so that it loses more of its anti-terror fighters and cause collateral damage so graphic photos of dead kids can then be cynically be propagated with?

I *mostly quit watching Fox after their election 2020 clownshow. I would however get updates on Sirius XM or perhaps zone in during a workout. This seems different... not only with me. There's some type of Dylan Mulvaney VoodDoo going on since the Tucker debacle; I - and apparently legions of others - just cannot stand the sight or sound of ANY Fox programming any longer. Even when I "try" to listen or watch, I just wind up turning them right off. Even the "good" ones, like compliant hipster Gutfeld, or Watters, who seems more like a climber than a...

At least one doctor is saying she is seeing more women opting for sterilization in this post-Roe v. Wade world. Kara Neils, 25 years old, opted six months ago to be sterilized. Dani Marietti, also 25, had a picnic to celebrate her sterilization last July, complete with commemorative cookies. Mariah Marsh had her tubes tied as a 28th birthday present to herself in January. All three have known for a long time they didn’t want children, and after Roe v. Wade was overturned last year, they got sterilized. “I knew that the only way I could really protect myself is...

Schools developing covert racial preference practicies to skirt Supreme Court ruling ... You probably think the Supreme Court just ended racial discrimination in university admissions, euphemistically called affirmative action, and a new day of equal treatment without regard to race or skin color has dawned. You are mostly wrong. Yes, SCOTUS invalidated the race-conscious practices of Harvard and UNC, holding that under the 14th Amendment a "student must be treated based on his or her experiences as an individual – not on the basis of race." ... That is a very important statement of our guiding constitutional principles. Yet already...

In a June 26 interview with NewsNation, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) stated that multiple individuals had corroborated a whistleblower’s explosive allegations of a secret, decades-long UFO crash retrieval and reverse-engineering effort. As the top Republican on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and a member of the so-called Gang of Eight, Rubio’s extraordinary comments carry particular weight. [...] Rubio stated that individuals with “firsthand knowledge or firsthand claims” are “saying to us what you’ve seen out there in the public record, whether it’s about legacy [UFO] programs or about current events.” According to Rubio, the whistleblowers’ statements are beyond “the...

The Biden administration on Wednesday approved the Orsted A/S’s Ocean Wind 1 project, setting the stage for installation of a massive wind farm in the waters off New Jersey while ignoring the protests of locals who will be forced to share their environment with as many as 98 turbines. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland boasted the authorization was “another milestone in our efforts to create good-paying union jobs while combating climate change and powering our nation.” Bloomberg reports the approval represents the third commercial-scale project of its kind in federal waters to win U.S. government backing — all under President Joe...

As warned by promoters of the precinct committeeman strategy, establishment Republicans do not welcome patriots to their elitist clubs with open arms. Just the opposite. The inhospitable treatment by RINOs of MAGA in the Miami Dade REC (Republican Executive Committee) is just the latest example of the depths that the elites descend to cling onto power: by-laws are flaunted, Robert’s Rules of Order are ignored, and promises are broken. Members who do not show up for three REC meetings in a row are supposed to be kicked out. But since most of them are RINOs, more placeholders than activists, the...

(Last Updated On: June 21, 2023) WORLD CHOCOLATE DAY Every year on July 7th, World Chocolate Day allows chocolate lovers around the world to indulge in their favorite treat without any guilt. The day also celebrates all kinds of goodies made from chocolate, including chocolate milk, hot chocolate, chocolate candy bar, chocolate cake, brownies, or anything covered in chocolate. #WORLDCHOCOLATEDAY Chocolate comes from the seed of the tropical Theobroma cacao tree. Cacao has been cultivated for at least three millennia and grows in Mexico, Central America, and Northern South America. The earliest known documentation of using cacao seeds is from...

Despite its origins in the historic Stonewall Riots of 1969, “Pride Month,” which concluded last week, has devolved into a manifestation of moral decay in 2023. The proliferation of the transgenderism movement, fueled by Marxist ideologies, within our public education system is concerning enough. However, the decision to dedicate an entire month to celebrate moral degradation is a step too far. While I am not advanced in years, I never envisioned a day where transvestites would lecture us on human biology, or sterilizers would pose as health professionals advocating for human rights. It seems that our nation has descended into...

What, precisely, is it about America you love? That’s the question this July 4 as just 29% of Democrats say they’re extremely proud of the country, accompanied by just 33% of Independents and 60% of Republicans. In fact, Democratic love of country has always fallen far behind that of Republicans, even during the Obama era, when it hit a temporary high of just over 50% (Republicans at the time said they were extremely proud of the country at a rate of approximately 70%). Why is it that liberals in the United States are so much less proud of America than...

At that stage, former President Donald Trump enjoyed a 42.5%. President Joe Biden's approval rating at this stage in his presidency stands as the lowest such metric of any president since Jimmy Carter, according to aggregated ranges from 538. On day 898 of his presidency, Biden's approval stood at 40.5% among the U.S. electorate. At that stage, former President Donald Trump enjoyed a 42.5%. All of Biden's post-Carter predecessors enjoyed higher ratings at this point in their tenures. The Georgia Democrat, meanwhile, lagged behind Biden, with 29.0% approval on day 898. Former President Gerald Ford did not spend 898 days...

With the Fourth of July behind us, we as a nation can finally return to topless men twerking on the lawn of the White House as part of America's fabulous Summer of Pride, just like the Founding Fathers envisioned. If you're one of the far-right extreme MAGA-T Republicans who love America and think showing affection for our country is more than just a drunken BBQ on the Fourth and a wicked hangover on the fifth, here are a few ways to continue your disgusting patriotism all year round. 1. Say the Pledge of Allegiance: The pledge is hate speech. And...

I transcribed the following at great personal cost to my sanity. **** Well, I think culture is eh- eh- it is a reflection of our moment and our time, right? And, and present culture is the way we express how we're feeling about the moment. And, and we should always find times that we express how we feel about the moment as a reflection of joy because ev- eh- you know, it comes in the morning! HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH OH HEH HEH HEH HEH! We have to find ways to also express the way we feel about...
