Mr. Armstrong, I fully appreciate that you have no interest in winning a Nobel Prize. However, the computer you have developed is far more accurate than anything regarding markets or geopolitics that has ever been created. This week was the turning point, as is May and then June, with a Panic Cycle. You forecast in 2019 that war would come to India and Pakistan in 2025. Nobody has ever been able to provide such accurate forecasts years in advance. I do not know what to say, but I believe everyone reading this should send a letter to the Nobel Commission...

President Donald Trump's tough stance on China is already producing results, and the evidence suggests that Chairman Xi Jinping will have no choice but to back down. China's economy, long propped up by unfair trade practices, is starting to crumble under the weight of Trump's strategic 145% tariffs on Chinese imports.Protests from furious factory workers in China demanding back pay are spreading across the country after President Trump’s tariffs on Chinese imports began impacting the communist nation’s economy.Unrest has been reported across the country as workers have taken to the streets protesting unpaid wages and challenging unfair dismissals following the...

For years, would-be higher-education reformers have warned that America’s higher education crisis—soaring tuition, crippling student debt, and weak learning—was rooted in a dangerous myth: every high school graduate should go to college.In 2025, the proof is glaring. Public confidence in colleges has crashed to 36%, down from 57% in 2015. The college-for-all dream, though well-intentioned, has inflated costs, buried millions in debt, and watered down education. Built on sand, its reputation is collapsing before us.But you wouldn’t know any of this from many media accounts, according to which, as in this breathless headline, “Trump’s Demands of Harvard Escalate His War...

Many, from Elliot Wave experts to the dollar-hugging faithful, are asking if we are now reaching a moment of “peak gold”? The evidence, and answer, is: No. Our Currency, Our Problem Gold has made massive price moves in 2025, touching $3500 just days ago and finally making headlines in a politicized world, media and financial system that has otherwise deliberately attempted to ignore and downplay gold for decades. But can we really blame those silly little “experts” with political incapacities for honesty? After all, rising gold is proof positive that a debt-soaked nation is in deep trouble, as its currency...

Better late than never? When Tennessee state police pulled over Kilmar Abrego Garcia in a car owned by a convicted human trafficker, carrying eight people without identification, the FBI and ICE couldn't be bothered to even ask the troopers to detain the group. The police knew Abrego Garcia was trafficking the group from Missouri to Maryland, but couldn't do anything about it.Of course, that took place under previous White House management. This administration's Department of Justice is far more interested ibn Abrego Garcia's midnight rides, ABC News reports this morning. Ibn fact, they have taken enough of an interest to...

Columbia University hasn't been in the news as much lately. It was just shy of two weeks ago that NBC News caught wind of secret meetings taking place off campus with the goal of restoring the tent encampment for Hamas that had been set up last year. The coordinating meeting took place at a community center on Tuesday night in Brooklyn’s Bushwick neighborhood, approximately 12 miles from campus, according to screenshots of Signal messages from organizers and a person who was at the meeting...More than 100 people were present at the gathering and all wore masks to conceal their identities,...

With so much going on these days — on multiple fronts — it's difficult to keep up with it all. On Tuesday alone, there were multiple cabinet secretaries testifying before Congress, President Donald Trump made multiple appearances, commenting on everything from trade to FIFA, the Houthis cried "Uncle!", and India and Pakistan appear primed to bust out into an all-out war. All of which is to say: I didn't have an opportunity to watch Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's testimony before the House Appropriations Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee oversight hearing live. But looking back over some of the key...

On Tuesday, Attorney General Pamela Bondi held a press conference announcing a week-long, multi-agency and multi-law enforcement and tribal operation headed by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the New Mexico District Attorney’s Office. The operation resulted in huge drug busts and multiple arrests of high-level members of the Sinaloa cartel. According to Bondi, the agents garnered 11.5 kilos of fentanyl, including three million fentanyl pills — the largest seizure in the nation's history. The main head of the Sinaloa cartel, Alberto Salazar Amaya, was arrested along with five others, all in the country illegally. Amaya was arrested in Salem,...

How would you summarize your study? Cisplatin is a chemotherapy drug used globally for the treatment of several cancers; however, it is also highly toxic to the kidneys. Beyond general supportive measures, there is minimal data from clinical trials regarding preventive treatments for cisplatin-associated kidney damage. Animal studies suggest magnesium may help the kidneys excrete cisplatin in the urine, thereby protecting the kidneys from damage. However, data from larger studies in humans is lacking. What question were you investigating? We examined whether receipt of IV magnesium on the same day as the first dose of IV cisplatin was associated with...

Former president George W. Bush is not expected to attend a Thursday event at the White House honoring his late mother, two White House officials familiar with the plans told The Washington Post. First lady Melania Trump is hosting the event in the East Room, where she will unveil a postage stamp honoring former first lady Barbara Bush, the wife of President George H.W. Bush. Other Bush family members and friends are expected to attend, Trump’s office said. Attendees include Doro Bush Koch, George W. Bush’s younger sister who is listed as one of several featured speakers at the unveiling,...

A new study has revealed that a common and usually harmless virus may positively influence how skin cancer patients respond to current treatments. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that, while typically asymptomatic, is carried for life by around 50–60% of UK adults. In healthy individuals, CMV is kept in a dormant state by the immune system. However, this process profoundly reshapes how the immune system operates. The study explored how CMV affected the immune responses of 341 melanoma patients receiving immunotherapy, a form of cancer treatment that helps harness the immune system to recognize and fight cancer. This research...

On his program Tuesday, Morgan asked Gaddis why she 'would want to support a white racist - to which she replied, 'Because I want to support free speech.' Gaddis, though, seemed unfazed - and said she would 'embrace' the title 'if that means helping white people achieve freedom of speech - real freedom of speech.' 'Do you understand that makes you a despicable human being?' Morgan asked her.

Scientists have discovered a surprising new connection between gut health and blood cancer risk—one that could transform how we think about aging, inflammation, and the early stages of leukemia. As we grow older—or in some cases, when gut health is compromised by disease—changes in the intestinal lining allow certain bacteria to leak their byproducts into the bloodstream. One such molecule, produced by specific bacteria, acts as a signal that accelerates the expansion of dormant, pre-leukemic blood cells. The study suggests that this mechanism may reach beyond leukemia to influence risk for other diseases and among older people who share a...

In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of Nazi Germany’s surrender in May 1945, the Hoover Institution Library & Archives has released more than 800 digitized audio recordings and transcripts of conversations relating to 20th century conflict – most notably, undercover conversations with high-ranking Nazis who had fled to South America.

The long-simmering conflict between the neighboring nuclear powers intensified dramatically overnight. Fighter jets roared through the skies over the Himalayan territory early Wednesday and the sounds of explosions could be heard near the so-called Line of Control. 'A little while ago, the Indian Armed Forces launched "OPERATION SINDOOR", hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed', the Indian government said in a statement in the early hours of Wednesday morning. The Indian army added that no Pakistani military facilities had been targeted, noting that India had 'demonstrated...

The University of Washington slammed the "offensive and destructive behavior" of activists who ignited dumpsters and occupied a campus engineering building, and said it opposed antisemitism, as police arrested around 30 of those involved. The activists said they were pro-Palestinian and fighting for the university to end its relationship with Boeing over the manufacturing giant's dealings with Israel amid the war with Hamas.

This is the moment Israeli fighter jets strike the Sana’a International Airport in Yemen in a massive blitz. The IDF says it launched a wave of airstrikes and destroyed the Houthi-controlled airport, in response to the Iran-backed group's attacks on Ben Gurion Airport in Israel on Sunday. Approximately 20 Israeli fighter jets struck dozens of terror infrastructures yesterday along Yemen's coastal strip, deploying 50 munitions.

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson This is the most powerful 17 second speech ever given by a Secretary of Defense. This is why do they want to destroy @PeteHegseth so badly. This is it… From Concerned Citizen 8:23 PM · May 6, 2025

Who is the woke, radical left more angry at? A white woman named Shiloh Hendrix who said a very offensive word to a 5-year-old black child or a black person who shot and killed a 7-year-old black child named Breon Allen Jr.
