"We made a tolerance offer to Brussels: every country can deal with #migration the way they want to, but they cannot force #Hungary to copy the failed migration policies of Western Europe. We don’t want #terrorism, gang wars and mini Gazas in Budapest!" Viktor Orban Twitter

Joe Biden has a problem, and his name is Hunter. Because the former vice president hasn’t had to answer any questions on this topic, that problem could soon become America’s. That’s the reality now that a former business partner of Hunter Biden’s has come forward to provide the ugly details of the “family brand.” Tony Bobulinski, a Navy veteran and institutional investor, has provided the Journal emails and text messages associated with his time as CEO of Sinohawk Holdings, a venture between the Bidens and CEFC China Energy, a Shanghai-based conglomerate. That correspondence corroborates and expands on emails recently published...

CEFC China Energy would eventually funnel millions of dollars to the Bidens, but Zang was never charged, and the Justice Department has yet to explain why. Court documents from the New York trial of Patrick Ho continue to shed light on who Hunter Biden was dealing with when he entered into business with CEFC, a Chinese energy conglomerate founded by Ye Jianming that would give millions to Hunter Biden and the Biden family. Transcripts from Ho’s trial show that Zang Jianjun, the person Ho described as the number two executive at CEFC China Energy was present when the company offered...

Hunter Biden planned to share his family’s office space in Washington, DC, with a Chinese intelligence-linked firm that employed a man Hunter described as “the f**king spy chief of China,” according to Peter Schweizer’s new bombshell book Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win. According to the book, Hunter Biden planned in 2017 to set up an office in Washington that would house his businesses, his father’s Biden Foundation, and a representative of a Chinese global energy company he had cultivated close ties to, CEFC China Energy.

After rejecting three previous requests, a Moscow court Monday released the former president of Russia's largest petrochemical holding on bail of 20 million rubles ($630,000). The presiding judge also ruled earlier in the day to close hearings on the case to the public. The publicized trial of two former Sibur executives, president Yakov Goldovsky and vice president Yevgeny Koshchits, is one of the few remaining vestiges of the power struggle that took place earlier this year at Gazprom, which is the controlling owner of Sibur. Goldovsky has said his actions at the helm of Sibur were only construed as crimes...

Behind Broken Borders: Sachs’ Weaponized CompassionJeffrey Sachs, a noted economist and influential figure in global policy circles, has long been celebrated as an architect of sustainable development. Yet behind this polished veneer lies a more unsettling story, one that implicates him in masterminding the invasion of the southern border of the United States and beyond. By co-opting established religious organizations—chief among them Catholic Charities—and harnessing taxpayer dollars, Sachs has effectively weaponized compassion to orchestrate a mass migration crisis. His book, Ethics in Action for Sustainable Development, which carries a foreword by Pope Francis, serves as the blueprint for this operation....

...According to Jeffrey Sachs, Jake Sullivan admitted—behind closed doors—that if he had told the truth about Ukraine and NATO, the war would’ve been over before it even started. He knew it, but never said it publicly.... ...Absolutely damning—and undeniable proof that this war was orchestrated by the US from day one. A scam, a hoax, and a betrayal of the American people, and the Russian and Ukrainian people, plain and simple....

He is on the advisory board of a think tank funded by George Soros which literally came up with the entire academic and tactical blueprint for the NGO mass migration pipeline we see today. He then took that blueprint and implemented it at the UN and at Catholic Charities. Why is anyone promoting this guy? Was Norm Eisen and George Soros himself not available? In 2009, George Soros invested 50 million dollars into a think tank, a think tank where Jeffrey Sachs sits on the advisory board of. A think tank that has advocated for open borders, and mass migration...

Professor Jeffrey Sachs is the President of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network and Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University. He is the author of many best selling books, including The End of Poverty and The Ages of Globalization. Here he is with probably the smartest and most accurate assessment of the Ukraine war, and American foreign policy more broadly, ever caught on tape

Economics professor and author Jeffrey Sachs has spent too long in the geo-political arena to take the official US policy on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine at face value. He calls for negotiations in regards to Vladimir Putin’s recent ‘peace’ deal, which demands that Ukraine hand over large swathes of land to Russia. Although Jeffrey comes armed with a litany of crimes to lay at the doorstep of the collective west, Piers Morgan presses him on the central issues. Isn’t it strange that Putin hasn’t invaded a NATO member? And why doesn’t Sachs hold Putin to the same standard of conduct...

The U.S. and China are deepening co-operation on financial stability issues, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Monday, with more simulations of financial shocks due after a recent exercise on tackling the failure of a large bank. Wrapping up four days of meetings in China, Yellen issued a stern warning to Chinese banks that facilitating transactions providing material support or dual-use goods to Russia for its Ukraine war effort would lead to "significant consequences."

Economist and Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs weighs in on the latest on the Russia-Ukraine war during an interview with The Hill's "Rising." JEFFREY SACHS: You can't make sense of this, it's a zoo. If I am just hearing now, the plan is to illegally seize Russian assets, well kiss goodbye to America's role in the international monetary system. There are limits to what you can do, but I don't think our members of Congress really understand much about this. ... This is purely money down the drain. If they want to rip up another $61 billion, which is not...

Alex Christoforou, Alexander Mercouris and guest Jeffery Sachs discuss Tucker Carlson's interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin.From the video: Jeffery Sachs: (Putin discusses) "a remarkable truth. The end of the Soviet Union did not at all end the US pressure and attacks on Russia. "And, I think this is the real lesson of this -- it wasn't actually anti-communism, it was anti-Russia. And, it goes back two centuries, I would say, to British Russophobia..a century before communism. "And the reason is Russia is big and powerful. And, in the British and US grand strategy, that, per se, is a threat,...

Russia and China are determined to hold the American perpetrators of the Nord Stream sabotage to account. Uncle Sam’s days – indeed decades – of wanton criminality are over. There’s going to be hell to pay as the imperialist tyranny in Washington hits a wall of reality. Several weeks have gone by with the United States and its Western lackeys stonewalling at the United Nations Security Council, squirming and resisting calls from Moscow and Beijing for an international criminal investigation into the sabotage of the Baltic Sea pipelines that were blown up in September. A swathe of independent observers, such...

50 MOST LOATHSOME NEW YORKERS "How come you guys are such haters?" someone asked us recently. Shocked and insulted, we shook our heads. Our biggest issue thus far—last September's Best of Manhattan issue—was a compendium of positivity. On any given week we're founts of compassion: lovers, not haters; uniters, not dividers. Our Chelsea offices burst with fresh lilacs. We adopt kittens and support the arts. We volunteer in our communities. Haters? You must have us confused with those monsters at New York Family. When asked to elaborate, our detractor referred to last year's inaugural "50 Most Loathsome New Yorkers" issue....
