...South Korea’s new president, Lee Jae Myung, sent special envoys to Australia and Germany to discuss defense and trade issues, and plans on dispatching delegations to several others. Brazil and India announced plans to increase their bilateral trade by 70 percent, to $20 billion. Indonesia says it is nearing a treaty with the European Union that would drop most tariffs on both sides to zero.

Friday night, while speaking in front of a live audience at a Turning Point USA event in Tampa, Florida, Carlson came to a conclusion. He boldly said he believes foreign intelligence was behind the Epstein blackmail operation. But which country? SPOILER ALERT: He named Israel. And he confidently asserted that if they were involved, they must have also bankrolled his crimes. “I think the real answer is Jeffrey Epstein was working on behalf of intel services, probably not American, Carlson said. “And we have every right to ask on whose behalf was he working? How does a guy go from...

The AI Revolution is Reshaping Middle-Class Employment The artificial intelligence revolution fundamentally transforms the employment landscape, particularly affecting middle-class professional roles that once seemed secure. While complete job elimination rarely happens overnight, significant transformation is inevitable across numerous industries. The convergence of machine learning, natural language processing, and automation technologies creates a perfect storm that threatens traditional career paths. Current trends indicate that roles involving repetitive tasks, data processing, and routine decision-making are most vulnerable to AI disruption. Companies across sectors are adopting AI-powered solutions to streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve efficiency. This shift represents more than just technological...

Maxwell argues she should have been protected from prosecution as part of a Non Prosecution Agreement made by Epstein - her former lover and boss - in 2007 when he agreed to plead guilty to two minor charges of prostitution in a 'sweetheart deal' which saw him spend little time behind bars. And now, controversy continues to rage over the Department of Justice's statement that there is no Epstein 'client list' and the release of videos from inside New York's Metropolitan Correctional Center which the DOJ says proves he committed suicide in 2019 while being held in jail on sex...

This is a really outrageous piece of propaganda. Someone sent it to me saying, “The guy has a point.” To me, you have to be pretty ignorant to buy any of it. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DL6nSRduK_U/?igsh=MXNtMWM4dXBsYnRncA%3D%3D

In the battle for Ukraine, the front line is increasingly at a standstill. The reason: rapid innovations in drone technology. From just a few commercial and homemade drones, which the Ukrainians used at the start of the war to locate invading Russian columns, unmanned vehicles now dominate the battlefield. Each side has hundreds of them constantly in the air across the 750-mile front line. Drones can lay mines, deliver everything from ammunition to medication and even evacuate wounded or dead soldiers. Wedding drones’ at war When Russia sent tank columns into Ukraine in February 2022, Ukraine needed to find out...

President Donald Trump told reporters on Sunday that he spoke with FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino amid rumors that Bongino was considering resignation following Attorney General Pam Bondi’s contradictory statements about the Jeffrey Epstein files—initially claiming they were on her desk awaiting review, then later saying they do not exist. Bongino “sounded terrific” and is in “good shape," Trump said. A reporter then asked the president if "Dan Bongino still your Deputy FBI Director?” "Oh, I think so. I did. I spoke to him today… Very good guy. I’ve known him a long time… and he sounded terrific actually. No,...

David Paterson was the governor of New York from 2008 to 2010, when he was succeeded by Andrew Cuomo as the Democrats’ one-party rule of the state continued drearily on. Yet although he is another New York Democrat, Paterson is not thrilled with Zohran Mamdani, his fellow Democrat who stands on the brink of becoming the next mayor of New York City. Yet when he criticized Mamdani, Paterson found to his dismay that not only was he inundated with angry phone calls from the young Communist’s supporters, but his family was targeted as well. And so once again we see...

As of December 2024, there were approximately 40 million illegal aliens (or people who should be classified as illegal aliens) living in the United States.

US President Donald Trump says he will send Patriot air defense missiles to Ukraine, saying they are necessary to defend the country because Russian President Vladimir Putin “talks nice but then he bombs everybody in the evening.” -snip- “We will send them Patriots, which they desperately need, because Putin really surprised a lot of people. He talks nice and then bombs everybody in the evening. But there’s a little bit of a problem there. I don’t like it,” Trump tells reporters at Joint Base Andrews outside of Washington. “We basically are going to send them various pieces of very sophisticated...

-SNIP- ... In his second term thus far, Trump has defied his critics with several major international wins, and he’s relished the results. His green light for the June 22 US strikes on Iranian nuclear-related targets was a stunning interpretation of what defines “America first.” At the NATO Summit in The Hague days later, he pivoted from years of lambasting European partners to securing a historic agreement to lift Alliance-wide defense and defense-related spending to 5 percent of gross domestic product by 2035, while reaffirming shared security guarantees. Both the Iran and NATO moves are legacy-defining, peace-through-strength actions. They could...

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) recently announced a slew of eye-popping poaching busts involving two of the state’s most heavily restricted—and sought after—marine species: chinook salmon and white sturgeon. The most noteworthy case stemmed from an investigation into a Dungeness crab trafficking ring that led officials to discover that their lead suspect was also poaching salmon from the American River. The suspect, whose identity has not been released, was found with over 150 pounds of salmon roe meant for the black market. Officials say that collecting that much roe required poaching at least 75 salmon.
