Hidden away in the Colorado Rockies, a Sicilian resort, or a Utah ski lodge are some of the most exclusive events a billionaire can hope to attend. Attendee lists are so all-star that even the Goldman Sacks chief executive is a 'third-tier guest' and if you have to ask, you're not invited. Between discussions topics like 'can you marry a robot?' quizzes on tech trends and performances by celebrities, deals are made and executives are hired. More and more of these elite getaways are popping up as guests crave time away from the spotlight with few cameras and everything is...

VIDEOIs this the scenario that will play out at the 2024 State Of The Union speech? The more I think about it the more likely'it seems it will happen. And the shouting might not be coming just from the gallery. I wouldn't doubt if it comes from the chamber itself with various members of the Squad doing the shouting. If this scenario does play out then don't be surprised if the media somehow blames Trump for it.

Declaring a climate emergency has a chilling effect on politics,” he tells Public. “It suggests there isn’t time for normal, necessary democratic process.” Climate activists may dismiss Hulme as a “climate denier,” but he agrees the planet is warming due to human activities and specifically says we should prepare for more heat waves. Moreover, Hulme’s credentials are undeniably impressive. He is a Professor at the University of Cambridge and founding Director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research.

VIDEOMSNBC went into a state of deep deep mourning when the news broke that the Supreme Court will take up President Trump's immunity appeal thus delaying the trial for more months to come and likely past the November election. Of special note is former judge Michael Luttig whose crackpot Lawfare idea that states can use the 14th Amendment to remove Trump from the ballot is currently being laughed out of the Supreme Court. With his crackpot idea being laughed away, Luttig was profoundly saddened by the news that the J6 trial will probably be delayed past the election. His face...

Mexico is our next-door neighbor but it seems many Americans are not well-informed about it. Wrong and outdated impressions of Mexico affect our policymakers as well. This is particularly true regarding border and immigration policy. Americans think of Mexico as a poor country. And it is, compared to the United States. But Mexico is wealthier and has a higher standard of living than most countries in Latin America and Africa. There are, of course, many poor Mexicans. But doesn’t Mexico itself, with all its wealth, have a responsibility to help its own poor people? In the U.S., any meddling perpetrated...

Calling for governments to enact a "global moratorium" on COVID-19 mRNA vaccines could have been a death sentence for a scientist's career not long ago. Now it opens the door to a prestigious science publisher. The Springer Nature medical journal Cureus, sibling to Nature and Scientific American, published a peer-reviewed paper by high-profile mRNA vaccine critics last month, showing the growing mainstream openness to data and arguments once nitpicked if not ignored by publishers and suppressed by academia and Big Tech. The feds have struggled to keep interest high in each new formulation of the COVID vaccines, with fewer than...

Embarking on a narrative journey that transcends time, we unravel the captivating parallels between Nvidia’s meteoric rise and the cautionary tale of Cisco in 2000. If projections hold, Nvidia could transform into a $7.5 trillion behemoth within a year, evoking haunting memories of the Dot Com bubble. March 2000 witnessed a similar saga with Cisco, and as history beckons, we ponder the unheeded warnings of the past. The charts, valuations, and a sense of unstoppable growth—all echo a familiar tune. Is this a prelude to another tech bubble burst?

This critical element is indispensable in medical technologies, cryogenics, semiconductors, and even rocket propulsion systems.

VIDEOThe good news is that the public piano that had been cordoned off under guard due to the Chinese Communists acting like authoritarians because British pianist Brendan Kavanaugh would not comply with their outrageous demand to remove his video has been liberated (for now). The bad news, as exposed by Kavanaugh during his piano liberation speech, is that it appears that YouTube is following CCP censorship orders since a YouTube channel featuring Hong Kong people showing support for Kavanaugh has been taken down. And in light of recent pandemic history that is not the only example of YouTube censorship at...

The Los Angeles Times, the largest newspaper in California and one of the biggest by circulation in the entire United States, was hit with a heavy round of layoffs Tuesday. The move to terminate more than 110 positions within the company has been widely rumored for several weeks — even prompting a one-day walkout protest from the newsroom last week — but the scale of the layoffs, and when those layoffs would happen, was not widely known until Tuesday morning.

Explore the implications of this technology in this unfolding scenario.

In short, because they’re everywhere. The Fed knows that they’ve created the mother of all ticking time bombs and there’s only two options: let it explode in the most violent deflationary event since the Panic of 1907 or diffuse this monstrously large bomb by throwing it in an equally large liquidity bath.”

The World Economic Forum has declared war on coffee drinkers, declaring that they are causing “global boiling” and must be stopped at all costs.According to World Economic Forum Agenda Contributor Hubert Keller, “The coffee that we all drink emits between 15 and 20 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of coffee… Every time we drink coffee, we are putting CO2 into the atmosphere.”“Most of the coffee is produced by monoculture, and monoculture is also affected by climate change. The quality of these natural assets is deteriorating rapidly.”According to the World Economic Forum, coffee drinkers will have to limit themselves to two...

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has urged government’s around the world to begin arresting citizens who publicly talk about the tsunami of deaths among the fully vaccinated population.According to the globalists, if users post anything on social media that suggests vaccinations cause adverse reactions, they must be censored, demonetized, and ultimately arrested for their crimes.Multiple mainstream media outlets recently called for users on X to be banned for spreading the “conspiracy theory” that Shawn Barber died following his vaccination.ANP reports: Yet if the WEF and WHO and even Joe Biden and the US govt have their way, simply speaking about...
