Fox News has aired an urgent alert in a mortifying dig at Keir Starmer's leadership. The American news channel caused some controversy when they declared "Big Brother is Watching" on Sunday night's Fox Business show, The Bottom Line. This is a reference to George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984, where the Ministry of Truth is a government agency responsible for propaganda, historical revisionism, and manipulating information to align with the Party's narrative. The Fox News anchor declared: "1984 called and it wants its Ministry of Truth back. "The UK has created an elite police unit known as The National Intelligence Investigations...

A lookback call option allows traders to buy bitcoin at its lowest price during a specified period, offering a strategic advantage over traditional call options. This type of option is particularly appealing at times of low implied volatility, providing a 'perfect entry' for a slightly higher premium, Orbit Markets said. If bitcoin prices do not drop, the lookback call still offers a favorable entry point, but the buyer risks losing the initial premium if prices fall below the strike price. Imagine you're a bitcoin bull, confident prices will rally, but anticipating a pullback first. Like many people, however, you are...

POTUS pushes for prosecutions of minors as adults in D.C. following attacks by gangs of 'youths' against innocent Americans. President Donald Trump condemned attacks against innocent Americans carried out by lawless teen thugs with virtual impunity in the District of Columbia, as Elon Musk revealed a man recently assaulted was a DOGE team member many speculated to be Edward “Big Balls” Coristine.Trump on Tuesday issued a Truth Social statement calling on children as young as 14-years-old to be prosecuted as adults in D.C., arguing lawless bands of “youths” attacking innocent Americans are emboldened by Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies.Crime in Washington, D.C.,...

Democrats are struggling to convince the public that they are outraged that there is gerrymandering afoot in Texas. It is no easy task, particularly after Texas Democrats selected Illinois as their sanctuary state, a state considered the most gerrymandered in the country. Trump received 45 percent of the vote in the state, but Republicans have only 14 percent of the congressional seats. Even the New York Times admitted that gerrymandering has favored Democrats across the nation. However, the winner of the Claude Rains award must be Marc Elias, who has expressed disgust over the notion of gerrymandering despite the fact...

Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates has advice for recent graduates: Embrace AI tools, but don’t expect any stability when it comes to the job search. Gen Z is increasingly burned out from job hunting before even getting started. Frustrated applicants have lamented on TikTok about the number of rejection emails they have received from companies and expressed fears that the job market feels broken. And recent data backs them up: Entry-level job postings in the U.S. overall dwindled by about 35% since January 2023, and roles that are easily automated by AI are experiencing a disproportionately large impact. Meanwhile, the unemployment...

The potential proceeds from a revaluation of U.S. gold reserves to current market price would equal about 3 percent of U.S. GDP, according to Figure 2 of the paper. On Friday the Federal Reserve Bank website published a “FED Notes” article by Colin Weiss regarding the theory and phenomenon of central banks revaluing their gold reserves in order to increase nominal wealth without increasing debt from the printing of debt-based fiat currencies.“With public debt at high levels, some governments have begun to explore financing additional expenditures without raising taxes while also not increasing public debt outstanding. One possibility is...

Curiously, Brennan left no way for future investigators to confirm or deny its existence.In June 2017, well on their way to a Pulitzer for national reporting, the stenographers at the Washington Post published a lengthy, breathless article about an extraordinary message delivered to the White House in early August 2016. According to the Post, CIA Director John Brennan had sent an “intelligence bombshell” directly to President Barack Obama, an “eyes only” report. So sensitive was the report that Brennan kept it out of the President’s Daily Brief and insisted it “be returned immediately after it was read.” The report was...

California lawmakers are pushing forward with AB 495, a dangerous bill that would allow virtually any adult to take legal responsibility for someone else’s child, without court oversight, background checks, or even the parents’ consent. Disguised as a “Family Preparedness Plan,” the legislation is being marketed as a compassionate fix for immigration-related disruptions. Under AB 495, any loosely affiliated adult, a neighbor, a church volunteer, even a distant acquaintance, could be given the authority to enroll kids in school, approve medical procedures, and make decisions usually reserved for a legal guardian. No judge would have to approve it, and no...

"With the Big, Beautiful Bill, more boots on the ground, detention beds, and transportation contracts, watch...

Russia is ramping up a grinding summer offensive in eastern Ukraine as Kyiv appeals to President Donald Trump for more military aid and intensified pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin's latest push comes at a pivotal moment. Prevailing Ukraine-skepticism inside the Trump administration may be softening as White House frustration with the Kremlin grows -- but the president, who has in the past often acted in an unpredictable and transactional manner toward Ukraine, could still turn away from Kyiv. The European Union is still marshalling its vast industrial resources to help arm Ukraine, having already taken the lead in...

School districts struggling with enrollment loss are hiring consultants to recruit students, as parents are choosing alternatives to public schools — including homeschooling and private schools .. The New York Times reported Tuesday that schools in "Orlando, Newark, Memphis and dozens of other cities and towns have hired consultants who aggressively woo parents to convince them to enroll their children in local public schools." "Brian J. Stephens has built a business around this new reality. Mr. Stephens, a political consultant based in Memphis, runs Caissa K12, a consulting firm for public school districts with the tag line ‘We recruit students,'"...

Former Attorney General Eric Holder warned that if Texas Republicans succeed at gerrymandering the state's congressional districts, it could impact the legitimacy of the certification of the next presidential election. "If they were somehow able to hold on to the House in 2026, that is the House of Representatives that would have to certify who won the presidential election come 2028," Holder said Monday night on CNN. ERIC HOLDER: This is not a Texas problem. Yeah, the focus of this issue is Texas, but this is a national problem. And you’ve got to understand—if somehow, some way, Republicans are able...

Investigation follows criminal referral alleging senator falsified bank documents for favorable loan terms Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., is under criminal investigation for mortgage fraud, a Trump administration source told Fox News. Fox News host Laura Ingraham broke the news on Tuesday night on "The Ingraham Angle," saying the source said a criminal investigation is being conducted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Maryland on possible charges involving mortgage fraud. The investigation comes a month after a story broke about the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) sending a criminal referral to the Department of Justice (DOJ) alleging that Schiff, in multiple...

MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russian President Vladimir Putin is unlikely to bow to a sanctions ultimatum expiring this Friday from U.S. President Donald Trump, and retains the goal of capturing four regions of Ukraine in their entirety, sources close to the Kremlin told Reuters.Trump has threatened to hit Russia with new sanctions and impose 100% tariffs on countries that buy its oil - of which the biggest are China and India - unless Putin agrees to a ceasefire in Russia's war in Ukraine.Putin's determination to keep going is prompted by his belief that Russia is winning and by scepticism that yet more...

Texas Democrats have fled the state. They don’t want to give the state legislature a quorum to pass a congressional map that favors Republicans. So, they decided to seek refuge in Illinois, a gerrymandered state in the country. The irony is almost as bad as the MLB moving the All-Star game out of Atlanta in 2021 over Georgia’s voter integrity laws. The game was held in Colorado that year, a state with voter ID laws. Gerrymandering did not begin under Donald Trump, which seems to ooze from all the whining and shouting from Democrats about the Texas map. The good...

[Catholic Caucus] Catholic Standard Articles Reveal True Thrust Of The Current Pope.Today I picked up the July 17th issue of the Catholic Standard (the official mouthpiece for the Archdiocese of Washington). While disappointed at the amount of bilge that was contained therein, I was not surprised.Let's go in order as the stuff appeared in the print edition. On page 3 was the account of Cardinal McElroy receiving a pallium from Pope Leo XIV. The online article is here. Most of the article was a rehash of a homily that Leo gave on the occasion. Some bloopers popped up. He spoke...
