By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (Saturday Night Post) Legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong is back with a new round of predictions, and they are not going to make life easy for President Elect Trump. Armstrong says, “Our computer has been projecting that we are going into a depression in some areas and a recession in other areas. A depression most likely in Europe and a recession in the United States up until 2028. . . . At my November conference, everybody was celebrating after Trump won. I stood up and told my clients, ‘I’m sorry, Trump is not...

One of the main rights for which the Founding Fathers fought the Revolution was the right to private property. But in woke jurisdictions, homeowners can find themselves treated as criminals for trying to kick invading squatters out of their homes. If someone invades another person‘s home without permission and is told to leave but refuses to do so, that individual is breaking the law and violating a sacred American right. There should be no argument whatsoever about this. But a Georgia woman insanely was arrested and charged with multiple crimes after she tried to evict an aggressive squatter who locked...

Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) explained his recommendation to the Department of Justice to investigate former Liz Cheney is simply a test of her “own standards.” Years after Cheney lost her seat in the House, the Administration Oversight Subcommittee accused her of witness tampering while serving on the January 6 Committee. Loudermilk appeared on Life, Liberty, and Levin Saturday to point out Cheney’s hypocrisy. “I am only using Liz’s own standards that she used. If you go back to July of 2022, in one of their televised hearings, Liz Cheney started talking about Donald Trump making a phone call to one...

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that President-elect Donald Trump is a “singular political talent” with a sense of “fearlessness.” Fetterman said, “I’ve been warning people, like, you got to chill out, you know? The constant, you know, freakout, it’s not helpful. So, you know, pack a lunch. Pace yourself because he hasn’t even taken office yet.”

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) accused the Biden government of facilitating the regime change in Syria that led to rebels storming the capital of Damascus and overthrowing dictator Bashar Assad’s regime.

Elon Musk has been increasingly compared to billionaire George Soros as the tech mogul looks to continue pushing his influence into political parties across Europe and targeting district attorneys in the United States. What To Know Musk noted the comparison and commented on it during a speech at Mar-a-Lago, President-elect Donald Trump's Florida estate, on Nov. 14, in which he said: "I guess someone's got to be the George Soros on the right." "I mean, I'd call myself George Soros of the center, I think," he said. "We obviously need to have just the basics. As President Trump rightly said,...

Gunmen in the streets, snipers on the rooftops, shooting all the time: Palestinians fight Palestinians in Jenin. Rare clash between Palestinian Authority security forces and the armed Jenin Brigades in the West Bank city as observed by the Washington Post; The PA hints at a similar model in Gaza. Jenin Brigades fighters race through alleys flooded with sewage to evade the gunfire that echoes all around. "Quickly," one of the fighters urges his comrades as they pass through patrols and barricades of the Palestinian Authority security forces. "Watch out," another cautions at an intersection where an improvised explosive device had...

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Two U.S. Navy pilots were shot down Sunday over the Red Sea in an apparent “friendly fire” incident, the U.S military said, marking the most serious incident to threaten troops in over a year of America targeting Yemen's Houthi rebels. Both pilots were recovered alive after ejecting from their stricken aircraft, with one suffering minor injuries. But the shootdown underlines just how dangerous the Red Sea corridor has become, with ongoing attacks on shipping by the Iranian-backed Houthis despite U.S. and European military coalitions patrolling the area. The U.S. military had conducted airstrikes targeting...

The U.N. Agency UNRWA, has been planning all year for winter in Gaza, but the aid it was able to get into the territory is “not even close to being enough for people,” said Louise Wateridge, an agency spokeswoman. UNRWA distributed 6,000 tents over the past four weeks in northern Gaza but was unable to get them to other parts of the Strip, including areas where there has been fighting. About 22,000 tents have been stuck in Jordan and 600,000 blankets and 33 truckloads of mattresses have been sitting in Egypt since the summer because the agency doesn’t have Israeli...

KASH PATEL, ONETIME FBI TARGET, NOW ON TRACK TO RUN THE FBI. Not long ago, a left-wing journalist argued that when Republicans describe Kash Patel’s nomination to be FBI director as a way to “clean out” the FBI and “restore its integrity,” they are in fact creating “cover to go along with Trump’s scheme to unleash the FBI on enemies.” It’s a common criticism in anti-Trump circles. But it raises a question. Where were these people in 2017, 2018, and after? If one wants to discuss the prospect of a new director unleashing the FBI on enemies, shouldn’t he grapple...

Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX) was AWOL for months. She was “missing”—no one knew where she was, which was made more conspicuous apparently with the mountain of missed votes. Calls to her office went straight to voicemail. When Congress was barreling toward a total shutdown this week, which has been averted, Dallas Express wanted to know how Congresswoman Granger would vote on the continuing resolution. They found her office locked, with no staff in sight. Now, we know where she has been for weeks: an assisted living facility that specializes in those living with dementia.

President-elect Donald Trump will withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) on the first day of his new administration, according to a report from the Financial Times The move will sever ties with the global health body and cut all of its funding. “Donald Trump’s transition team is pushing to pull the US out of the World Health Organization on the first day of the new administration, according to experts who warn of the “catastrophic” impact it would have on global health.”

The vicar Father Alex Frost surveys a small, shabby block of 1960s flats in Burnley, Lancashire. “Most people here are on drugs,” he says matter-of-factly, then nods to a spot under a concrete walkway. “I found a man living right there. He was sleeping outside, on a mattress, with nothing. Nobody else was helping him, so we did.” If you want a picture of the Church of England at its best, Frost’s parish is a good bet. ... ... If you want a picture of the CofE at its worst, that’s easier to find: just look at the headlines. In...

Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that after last week’s budget battle, it would be difficult for Republicans to pass President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda. Co-host Dana Bash said, “We’ve heard Democrats touting what ended up happening in the early wee hours of yesterday morning as a victory over Donald Trump. But in the end, the bill that you all voted for didn’t include a lot of Democratic priorities that were initially in the deal with Speaker Johnson. So what does that portend about what’s going to come up? I mean, this fight is going...

Girl wishes people would move at a faster pace in her town. She gets her wish, and it goes south real fast.

Hundreds of students at Madison High School marched to the state Capitol on Friday to demand an “assault weapons” ban after the December 16, 2024, Abundant Life Christian School handgun attack. The Cap Times reported the students chanted “books, not bullets” and “no more silence, end gun violence.” The Wisconsin Examiner quoted the high schoolers saying, “Graduations not funerals.” Once at the Capitol, the students called for an “assault weapons” ban and enhanced background checks. The students did not mention that the alleged 15-year-old shooter did not use a firearm categorized as an “assault weapon” nor did she buy her...

The big story this week is how X (formerly Twitter) worked to dramatically change the American legislative process. As Chamath Palihapitiya said, "People are underestimating what happened here [The Continuing Resolution]. This was a multi-hundred billion dollar grift that was stopped on a dime over 12 hours of tweets. You would have never thought this was possible. To put a dagger in something that big that had so much broad support just a few hours earlier is so consequential in how the United States can run going forward." But if you grasp the background for this feat -- the story...

Say what you like about Germany but their crack police investigators are second to none:Prosecutor Horst Walter Nopens said on Saturday that the investigation was ongoing but suggested one potential motive for the attack "could have been disgruntlement with the way Saudi Arabian refugees are treated in Germany".Gotcha. So, two months before the federal election, the German state's message to voters is: It's all your fault and nothing's gonna change. Nothing against the nine-year-old boy who's dead or the four ladies - aged 75, 67, 52 and 45 - but that's just the way it is. There will be a...

No matter how aggressive they are with the thermostat at 5800 Airline Drive, the New Orleans Saints can't do much to prepare for the cold weather conditions in Green Bay this week. Or can they? "This morning, (quarterbacks coach Andrew) Janocko took us into the cafeteria freezer where it was like 10 degrees," quarterback Spencer Rattler said. "We're just going through the whole script in there. Just doing that helped a lot. Hopefully it's not 10 degrees (in Green Bay), but we'll be ready." It's a novel concept, but it remains to be seen how much it actually helps —...
