Calls for governments to push “pro-worker AI” sound appealing. The idea is simple: If policymakers deftly guide how the technology develops, they can make sure it helps workers instead of replacing them. What’s not to like?

Here’s your trouble: Technology almost never works that neatly. Its effects on jobs are usually messy, unpredictable, and shaped by millions of decisions from businesses and entrepreneurs—not by a policy plan designed in Washington.

That’s a core point in a recent critique by economist Joshua Gans of a proposal from Daron Acemoglu, David Autor, and Simon Johnson to steer AI toward worker-friendly uses. Gans says the idea runs into a basic contradiction. The proposal defines “pro-worker” technology as something that makes human capabilities and expertise more valuable. But those things are valuable partly because not everyone has them. If a new technology spreads skills more widely, it may help more workers overall—while at the same time reducing the pay advantage of those who once had rare skills.

English rock band Radiohead told ICE to “go f— yourselves” on Friday after one of their songs had been used in a video mourning the victims of illegal immigrant crime.

Radiohead issued a public statement to multiple news outlets condemning the use of their song “Let Down” in a pro-ICE video, one of multiple recent incidents of artists objecting to their music being used in pro-ICE videos.

“We demand that the amateurs in control of the ICE social media account take it down. It ain’t funny, this song means a lot to us and other people, and you don’t get to appropriate it without a fight. Also, go f— yourselves… Radiohead,” the band said, according to NBC News and other news outlets.

The Iranian regime has threatened to unleash the “gates of hell” on the US and Israel with more intense attacks.

The US has also indicated that it plans to escalate the fighting further, threatening another big wave of air strikes on Iran, as it warned the “hardest hits” are yet to come.

South Korean defense stocks saw massive gains on Tuesday after the country’s markets returned from a public holiday, as the Iran war fuels interest in defense names globally.

Heavyweight Hanwha Aerospace, which is South Korea’s largest defense manufacturer, saw shares surge nearly 25%, before paring gains to about 13%, while Korea Aerospace Industries gained more than 12%, but cut those to 2.4%.

Shares in air defense systems maker LIG Nex1 soared 25%, while electronic warfare systems manufacturer Victek and anti-aircraft missile components’ maker Firstec saw shares rise more than 20% and 15%, respectively.

“At the last talks, the Russian side said, for example, that they would accept the security guarantees offered to Ukraine by the United States,” he said.

The Kremlin has not confirmed the remarks.

If accurate, they would represent the most significant shift in negotiations since the conflict began four years ago.

It remains unclear what form those US security guarantees would take.

BREAKING: President Trump selects a replacement for the Federal Reserve Chair. Kevin Warsh has been nominated to replace Jerome Powell.

A last-minute deal to avert government shutdown has allegedly been made, but some corporate news outlets are reporting the deal is not certain. Part of the deal involves getting the SAVE Act passed (which would require photo ID and proof of U.S. citizenship for people to be able to vote). Be sure to read next week’s issue for a follow-up on these two breaking news stories.

  1. DAVOS MARKS OFFICIAL DEATH OF POST-WAR ORDER – President Donald Trump came to Davos and delivered the news that the global order was dead. While much hand wringing conspired amongst Europe’s elites, and America’s Democrats (including Gavin Newsome), at the end of the day all had to acknowledge the reality of power. If America says the global order is dead, it’s dead.

Trump let the Western Hemisphere know, “The USA is the economic engine of the planet, and when America booms, the entire world booms. History shows that when America goes bad, the whole world goes bad. When we go down, you follow us down. Instead of hiring bureaucrats we’re firing them”

  1. INSURRECTIONISTS USE SIGNAL CONNECTED TO MINNESOTA OFFICIALS TO COORDINATE ASSAULT ON ICE AGENTS – Signal Chats have been exposed from paid insurrectionists that have been coordinating with Minnesota state officials. The insurrectionists have been intentionally interfering with the legal prosecution of criminal arrests that have been ruled constitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States of America.

Now, Minnesota’s Attorney General has been directly connected to the chat. His office created a secret portal for the insurrectionists to use to coordinate their attacks and get information that was used to attack American independent reporters like Cam Higby. It should be noted the activity began shortly after the Somali Fraud scam was exposed by another independent journalist stalked with the help of Ellison’s secret web portal, Nick Shirley.

  1. XI PURGES TOP GENERALS, NARROWLY ESCAPES ASSASSINATION? – There appears to be a power struggle going on China, with many conflicting reports, some confirmed, some not, all of which suggest Chairman Xi has narrowly escaped a coup, but that the threat of attack is still pressing. This news comes as Canada’s Prime Minister, Mark Carney, has just arrived in Beijing. We can affirm the purge of most of the top Generals, including his two top Generals, and military lockdowns in Beijing.

One unsubstantiated story claims there was a shootout between his chief rival Zhang Youxia’s men and his men that narrowly missed assassinating Xi. Nine of Xi’s men were killed with scores of Youxia’s men were said to have been killed. So far, we still can’t confirm the story, though the mere fact it is circulating suggests the coup is still going on.

  1. TIKTOK DEAL OFFICIALLY CLOSES, AND THE CCP WILL BE HAPPY – The TikTok deal has officially closed, with a “mostly American” investor group mutually led by Oracle and Silber Lake. ByteDance will still have a 20% stake, meaning TikTok will help fund the CCP. The venture will be led by a board that will have a majority of U.S. directors on it.
  2. FORMER CDC DIRECTOR CLAIMS BIDEN, FAUCI SUPPRESSED INFORMATION PROTECTING CCP’S TIES TO COVID-19 – Former Centers for Disease Control Director Robert Redfield made some startling claims in a presentation at a Heritage Foundation Event. At the event, he claimed the Biden administration decided early on that Covid-19 was not a CCP-engineered virus (which it appears now that it was) and systematically suppressed data and removed scientists who even considered a “gain of function” culprit behind Covid-19.

Redfield confirmed a testimony from Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA), who claimed the Biden administration treated science as “consensus” rather than hypothesis. Miller-Meeks claims the “experts” the administration sent to their committees to testify demonstrated no basic understanding of the scientific process. Redfield added, “I was just shocked by the lack of scientific knowledge about this kind of pandemic. Very rapidly, there became a narrative that you either bought into or you were discarded.”

  1. CALLS INCREASE FOR TRUMP TO INVOKE INSURRECTION ACT TO SHUT DOWN DNC’S WAR ON ICE – Americans are growing increasingly frustrated with the lack of a strong response by President Donald Trump against what are increasingly blatant acts of treason by DNC officials, including from Minnesota’s top elected Democrat leaders (from the Governor to the Attorney General), along with the media’s increasing use of obvious lies to intentionally incite violence against ICE agents.

Yet even as these calls mount, along with calls for the President to ignore rogue Judges’ rulings like Andrew Jackson did, JD Vance is claiming the Insurrection Act is not needed. When asked by reporters about the chaos in Minnesota, he seemed to suggest it’s just a matter of all the officials, from Federal to local, getting on the same page. He said of the Insurrection Act being invoked, “Right now, we don’t think we need that.”

  1. MINNESOTA CHURCH TERRORIZED BY DNC INSURRECTIONISTS, JUDGE REFUSES TO PROSECUTE – Insurrectionist Activists led by DNC agitator Don Lemon interrupted and terrorized a church service at the Southern Baptist Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota. The agitators terrorized children and interrupted the Pastor during his service. DNC operatives, from the media to elected officials, applauded the actions, likening it to Jesus turning over the tables in the temple, an antichrist connection if ever there was one.

Now, a Federal Judge who happens to be married to one of Minnesota AG Keith Ellison’s staff is refusing to sign a criminal complaint to get Don Lemon arrested. The DOJ, so far, has only expressed frustrations, but once again those frustrations are followed with little to no real action, continuing to embolden the insurrectionists.

  1. VENEZUELAN LEADER PLUCKED FROM CHINA’S PROTECTION – Despite the security provided President Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela by his two strongest allies, Russia and China, U.S. forces were able to quickly enter the country and within less than 3 hours return with Maduro and his wife to the U.S. Reports of advanced military tech being used to easily overcome Venezuelan forces equipped in mid-range Chinese and Russian military tech have now largely been confirmed by the Trump administration.

The move sends a powerful message to China and Russia’s allies that their protection might be no protection at all. Currently, Maduro is facing “evolving charges.” His VP has taken over and, as of now, appears to be willing to cooperate with the U.S. The role of Exxon in developing the oil earmarked for America (for resale on the market) is in doubt after the CEO went afoul of President Trump.

  1. STARMER’S UK INVITES CHINA’S MEGA EMBASSY TO LONDON WHILE DELAYING LOCAL ELECTIONS – The Chinese government was allowed to purchase the Royal Mint Court site to build a mega-embassy on it in the heat of London, the capital of Britain. The Chinese government purchased that site in 2018 under a “conservative” government’s watch, with Theresa May serving as the Prime Minister.

Now, the Labour government under Prime Minister Kier Starmer has officially approved the mega-embassy, making a definitive statement about the political direction the Soviet UK is headed towards. This follows Starmer’s ongoing efforts to delay May’s local elections, a move that can now be challenged after a recent High Court ruling.

  1. TRUMP’S BOARD OF PEACE LOOKS TO USURP UNITED NATIONS – A United Nations initiative designed to give administrative flesh to President Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan is feared to become its replacement. What `started as a board of invested actors to help manage the transition in Gaza from Hamas to something else is now taking on a global scope as mission creep has taken hold at an ecumenical scale. Trump said of the board that it would “get a lot of work done that the UN should have done.”

Maya Ungar, a UN analyst, is sounding the alarm, claiming, “If member states, if countries do decide to sign up – and not just to sign up, but to really institutionalise and move along with this Board of Peace process – it is going to become a parallel or competing structure to the UN Security Council, which is an institution that has already been facing immense legitimacy as well as financial concerns over the past few years.”

  1. UKRAINE CEASEFIRE DEAL IS OFFICIALLY DEAD – Any hope of the war in Ukraine ending anytime soon has all-but ended with Russia’s final response to the U.S.-led ceasefire proposal. The final sticking point was over the “security guarantees” in the form of U.S. and European troop support. Putin called this nothing more than “foreign intervention.” To emphasize their point, the Russians also now claim that the push by British and European nations to build more military infrastructure in Ukraine will make their troops viable targets.

  2. SOMALI FRAUD CASE TAKES OUT KAIN, THREATENS OMAR – The growing Somali Fraud scandal has already triggered Tim Kain, the Progmerican governor of Minnesota, to declare he is not running for re-election. It also appears to be threatening Minnesota’s Islamist anti-Americanist Progmerican representative, Ilhan Omar. Nick Sherley, an independent reporter, broke the story of hundreds of millions, if not billions, of U.S. tax dollars being stolen through fake daycare centers run by Somalis. The discovery has set off investigations by independent reporters in other states leading to similar discoveries.

Ilhan Omar’s recent effort to earmark $1 million for an ISIS-linked Somali ‘Non-Profit’ has triggered a call to investigate the organization and Omar’s connections to it. Trump has responded by suspending Somali immigration and revoking the legal status of thousands of Somali “asylum seekers.” More action is being taken to strip new Somali naturalized citizens involved in the fraud, which includes Ilhan Omar.

ED.NOTE: It is shortly after this exposure that the Minnesota ICE Wars began.

  1. AS TRUMP KEEPS PUSHING FOR GREENLAND PURCHASE, THE REASON WHY HAS BEEN REVEALED – President Donald Trump revealed his motivation for wanting America to purchase Greenland. He claimed NATO is not an effective deterrent to Russian and Chinese power and therefore America must secure the territory that makes them vulnerable with or without anyone else’s consent (despite Europe moving token numbers of troops to Greenland).

He stated, “Militarily, without the vast power of the United States, much of which I built during my first term, and am now bringing to a new and even higher level, NATO would not be an effective force or deterrent — Not even close! They know that, and so do I.”

  1. TRUMP’S GREENLAND DEAL GIVES AMERICA AND DENMARK WHAT THEY WANT – The announced, but not finalized, Greenland Deal by President Trump will see America spend zero dollars to get full mineral rights, access to build military bases wherever they want, and a prohibition against allowing any Russian or Chinese presence. Denmark gets their sovereignty returned, but in exchange they will continue to pay their citizens $600 million a year to stay there.

The deal comes amidst apoplexy from the European right, who feared his rhetoric would leave them to choose between Europe’s sovereignty and Trump, a fear that should be put to rest if the deal is finalized. President Trump claimed, “IT’S OFFICIAL: President Trump’s Greenland deal is FREE for the USA! Everything we want, $0 — just the Golden Dome cost. I’m not paying a thing. We’re getting TOTAL access to Greenland!”

C. U.S. POLITICS

  1. 2020 ELECTION RESULTS STILL IN DOUBT AS FBI SEIZES FULTON COUNTY, GA BALLOTS – The FBI has announced a raid on the Fulton County, Georgia elections office that resulted in 700 boxes of election ballots from the disputed 2020 election being seized. National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard was seen on site, with the speculation being she was overseeing the investigation. The agents were there for hours, triggering a meltdown from Georgia election officials (who, for some reason, really don’t want Americans to see these ballot records).
  2. AFTER VOTING FOR POLITICAL VIOLENCE, VIRGINIANS ARE ABOUT TO GET IT, AND TAX INCREASES ARE ONLY THE BEGINNING – After Virginians chose to overwhelming elect a Governor who endorsed political violence through silence and a Lieutenant Governor who openly expressed it by wishing he could murder his political opponent’s family, the DNC is about to reward them with a slate of bills and executive orders that will tax them, free criminals, including rapists and child molesters, secure fraudulent elections, silence free speech, allow abortion up to birth, and kill the 2nd amendment.

  1. CLINTONS REFERRED FOR CONTEMPT CHARGES AFTER REFUSING TO TESTIFY AT EPSTEIN HEARING – Long-time friends with Jeffrey Epstein, Bill and Hillary Clinton show up in the Epstein files numerous times, with Bill showing up even more than Hillary. After refusing to come before the House Oversight Committee for questioning, both Clintons have been referred to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said, “We’re going to hold both Clintons in criminal contempt of Congress. The [Epstein estate] complied with our lawful subpoena. [Former Attorney General Bill Barr and former Trump Labor Secretary Alex Acosta] came in and were deposed because of our lawful subpoenas. This same lawful subpoena was issued to the Clintons, and they defied it.”

  1. AS WALLS CLOSE IN ON OMAR, SHE GETS ASSAULTED BY JUICE – Ilhan Omar was giving a speech at Minneapolis when a white man in his 50s approached her and doused her with juice. While the incident was called fake by some, including President Trump, there has been no clear evidence so far to confirm that accusation. The attack comes as news was breaking of a fraud investigation targeting the congresswoman.

A business partly owned by Omar and her husband is a winery in California that appears to have no infrastructure yet her husband’s stake in the company went from $15k last year to $1-5 million in only one year. Omar’s worth has ballooned from near zero when she took office to over $6 million (or more) today. Her finances are being investigated by the U.S. House Oversight Committee under James Comer (R-KY).

  1. MARXIST ISLAM TAKES OVER IN NEW YORK – In the person of Zohran Mamdani, New York City is now captured by the Marxist-Islamist faction. The now-serving Mayor of New York has begun his tenure by appointing a Marxist, a self-appointed Democratic Socialist, to head the city’s Housing Department. Cea Weaver appears set to test the bounds of state authority over Federal authority, especially when it comes to how she is pledging to treat NY’s privately-owned housing.

The appointment is particularly concerning because Mamdani has pledged to freeze rents, expand the power of enforcement hearings, and bring in communist activists as bureaucrats to use lawfare to seize private property and convert it to communist property.

  1. AFTER JD VANCE HOUSE SHOOTING, SECRET SERVICE AGENT BETRAYS JD VANCE’S SAFETY IN UNDERCOVER VIDEO – An undercover video from an ACTUAL muckraker (and we mean that in the best sense), James O’Keefe, is exposing a secret service agent who is more than willing to put Vice President JD Vance’s life at risk. This comes shortly after a trans DNC activist shot into JD Vance’s home when he and his family were not there.

The agent shared the Vice President’s future traveling and event plans in an undercover video by The O’Keefe Media Group. The agent is Tomas Escotto, a five-year veteran of the force who came in under the President Joe Biden Committee.

Deputy Secret Service Director Matthew Quinn responded to the video by stating, “The U.S. Secret Service has no tolerance for any behavior that could potentially compromise the safety, privacy or trust of our protectees. This incident is under investigation, and the employee involved has been placed on administrative leave with his clearance suspended and access to agency facilities and systems revoked.”

  1. TRUMP XO STOPS CORPORATE PURCHASES OF SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES – President Donald Trump just signed an executive order that effectively prevents large corporations from buying single-family homes. The President posted on Truth Social, “To preserve the supply of single-family homes for American families and increase the paths to homeownership, it is the policy of my Administration that large institutional investors should not buy single-family homes that could otherwise be purchased by families.”

  1. UNDERCOVER VIDEO EXPOSES ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT JUDGE-BRIBING RACKET – Patricia Golder, a migrant from Mauritania, exposed her whole alleged racket buying off judges and exploiting fraud-enabling immigration laws that allows her to set up illegal immigrants for life on the U.S. tax dollar. This also makes them indebted to her forever because she could get them arrested by ICE anytime she wants to. The whole confession was caught on an undercover video by Townhall.

At one point Golder revealed how she deals with Immigration Judges, “If I can get to the judge. You know, that’s the only person you want to talk to is the judge. I make conversation with them. You say, ‘I have this boy there and I need help. You work that day?’ If the judge says, ‘Yeah,’ Okay, $50,000 I send everybody to you. I go to the bar like everybody drink. Spot the judge. I say, ‘You work on this date?’”

  1. DNC CRIMINAL MEDIA CONTINUES TO INCITE VIOLENCE WITH INTENTIONAL LIES – The DNC media is revising its Trump is ‘deranged, demented, unfit to be President’ narrative while it knowingly pushes lies that get ICE agents killed. The most egregious version saw the DNC use a child as an agit prop tool, claiming ICE had used the child as bait to lure his father in so they can arrest him. This lie was perpetuated by the Democrat Party itself on social media.

JD Vance confronted a reporter who attempted to push this insurrectionist lie, called her out for the lie and corrected her on the details. ICE agents approached the man to arrest him. He fled the scene, abandoning his son in the backseat of his car. ICE then appropriately moved to take care of the now abandoned child.

He concluded, “If the argument is that you can’t arrest people who have violated our laws because they have children, then every single parent is going to be.. given immunity…Do we want these things to happen? Do we want these arrests to be so chaotic? No, we don’t, these guys want it least of all. But, if we had a little cooperation from local and state officials, I think the chaos would go way down in this community.”

  1. SBA HAS $26 BILLION SLUSH FOR BOGUS BUSINESSES THAT ALL EXCLUDE WHITE MEN – Chris Ruffo, the man who helped Florida legally remove DEI and wokeness from its public institutions, is claiming on Steve Bannon’s show, The War Room, that the Small Business Administration has a $26 billion slush fund they use to fund dubious businesses so long as those businesses aren’t owned by white men.

Ruffo claimed, “Yeah. So this is at the Small Business Administration. It’s a $26 billion slush fund that is dedicated to providing government contracts, including many no-bid government contracts, exclusively to firms that are owned by racial minorities and women. In many cases, these are shell companies where they have a token minority and then a private firm behind them. But in all cases, for this entire $26 billion slush fund, there’s only one identity group that is prohibited from accessing these funds or bidding for these contracts, white men.

And so this is like the epitome of DEI. It’s billions of dollars. There’s all sorts of fraud and corruption. In the program’s 45-year history, there’s never been a single audit done. And the question is simply this. It’s now one year into the Trump administration. The president came out strong on day one, said no more DEI. Why are we still administering billions of dollars for every group except for one? It seems totally unfair, totally unconstitutional. And yet it’s still something that, until now, has been surviving in the Trump administration.”

  1. AS U.S. PULLS AWAY FROM SOUTH KOREA, FAKE NEWS LAW PASSES IN SEOUL – The U.S. Defense Department has revealed in a National Defense Strategy release that it is shifting its policy in South Korea, now calling on the state to protect itself from conventional threats to the North. As this was revealed, the CCP-captured government amended their law to prohibit “fake news” publishing. They did so over numerous protestations, including the U.S., who may recognize South Korea is now becoming a liability, a problem, perhaps, for Japan.
  2. TRUMP SEEKS TO SET TERMS OF AI BRAIN DATACENTER DEBATE COMING TO AMERICA – President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social about the emerging need for massive data centers to power AI brains which every nation-state will now need to be a world power in the years to come. He offered a carrot to the main sides of the incoming debate, the taxpayers who may be on the hook to pay for the data centers, the locals affected by the data centers, and the corporatists relying on those data centers for personal power.

He characterized it in the American context, writing, “We are the ‘HOTTEST’ Country in the World, and Number One in AI. Data Centers are key to that boom, and keeping Americans FREE and SECURE but, the big Technology Companies who build them must ‘pay their own way,” His post does not address another conflict-of-interest crisis, water resources, which are also needed in large volumes to fund the AI brains.

  1. TRUMP PUSHES FOR 10% INTEREST LIMIT ON CREDIT CARDS – The financial industry is already pushing back against President Trump’s calls to put a 1-year cap on credit card interest rates at 10%. The President declared on Truth Social, “Please be informed that we will no longer let the American Public be ‘ripped off’ by Credit Card Companies that are charging Interest Rates of 20 to 30%, and even more, which festered unimpeded during the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration. AFFORDABILITY!

Effective January 20, 2026, I, as President of the United States, am calling for a one year cap on Credit Card Interest Rates of 10%. Coincidentally, the January 20th date will coincide with the one year anniversary of the historic and very successful Trump Administration.”

  1. AMENDMENT TO DEFUND TREASONOUS JUDGES STRUCK DOWN BY RINO 46 – 46 RINO Progmericans within the GOP betrayed Americanist standards once again by helping the party of sedition, the party of Progmerica, the DNC-CCP, protect two of its most egregiously insurrectionist judges from having their office defunded.

Americanist Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) pushed forth the amendment as part of the appropriations package. The two judges targeted were James Boasberg and Deborah Boardman. Boasberg enabled Operation Arctic Frost and Boardman gave a would-be SCOTUS Judge assassin a lenient sentence. Both judges have consistently ruled outside the bounds of common-sense Americanist interpretations of the constitution, siding with leftist standards over American law.

  1. NY FIRES SALVO AT 3D GUN PRINTING – Progmerican NY Governor Kathy Hochul is making a push to figure out how to make software that enables 3D printers to print guns and gun parts illegal. Even as the real 2A push is increasingly heading to the drone frontier, the Progmericans are still hoping to contain the threat that comes from citizens equipped and capable of defending themselves against ALL enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC, with small arms.

Her office released this official statement: “As part of her 2026 State of the State agenda, Governor Kathy Hochul today unveiled proposals to strengthen New York’s nation leading gun laws by cracking down on 3D-printed and illegal firearms. The new legislation would establish criminal penalties for the manufacture of 3D-printed firearms and order minimum safety standards to be established for 3D printer manufacturers to block the production of firearms and firearm components.”

  1. FAR-LEFT PROGMERICAN GOVERNOR LIFTS MORATORIUM ON NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS – In a sure sign that even the far-left is about to go all-in on the AI brain race, Progmerican Governor of Illinois J.B. Pritzker has signed legislation that ends a decades-long ban on new construction of large-scale nuclear power plants in the state. The move should be seen as a telegraph the left’s Green New Deal may be over. Expect talks of AI Justice to replace Climate Justice talks.
  2. ISRAELI TECH CEO CALLS ON U.S. TO LIMIT FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO PROTECT THEIR INTERESTS – Whether he realized it or not, Israeli billionaire tech entrepreneur and Cato Networks co-founder Shlomo Kramer just advocated for the restriction of Americans’ First Amendment rights essentially to protect Israel from online threats.

Here is how he chose to advance this Anti-First-Amendment narrative, “You’re seeing the polarization in countries that allow for the First Amendment and protect it, which is great. And I know it’s difficult to hear, but it’s time to limit the First Amendment in order to protect it. And quickly before it’s too late… I mean that we (government) need to control the platforms, all the social platforms. We need to stack, rank the authenticity of every person that expresses themselves online and take control over what they are saying, based on that ranking.”

  1. CONTRACEPTIVES IN CHINA NOW TAXED IN REVERSAL OF SUBSIDIZATION POLICY – For three decades, Chinese citizens would not pay taxes on contraceptives, which includes drugs and condoms; now, Chairman Xi has ordered a 13% value-added tax on contraceptives to discourage infertility. The move comes as the population has dropped for three years in a row, and the drop is only expected to plummet in upcoming years.
  2. AUSTRALIA GOES POLICE STATE IN RESPONSE TO ISLAMIST SLAUGHTERING OF JEWS – Australia is set to increase the power of the state to arrest its citizens for questioning the very religion that led to the massacre of 15 people at a Jewish festival. It will also make it more difficult for its citizens to own guns to assure more Islamist terror attacks are met with NO armed resistance.

It will do this while claiming to protect the Jewish community, which will now be in more danger from Islamist assaults they cannot defend against and government speech police they also cannot defend against, at least not anymore.

Effete Prime Minister Anthony Albanese claimed to be protecting Australians from future terrorist attacks by passing laws that ennoble hateful ideologies like Islam (now protected from criticism from Australian citizens) and assures their victims will be unarmed. He stated, “The terrorists had hate in their hearts, but they also had high-powered rifles in their hands. We’re taking action on both — tackling antisemitism, tackling hate, and getting dangerous guns off our streets.”

  1. FLORIDA WOMAN QUESTIONED BY POLICE FOR ACCUSING MAYOR OF CALLING FOR DEATHS OF PALESTINIANS – Raquel Pacheco of Miami Beach posted on Facebook that the Mayor was “the guy who consistently calls for the deaths of Palestinians.” After the post, police showed up to question her about it. The incident was caught on video.

This follows up a statement by Florida’s Lt. Governor Jay Collins in December that “You have a right to free speech, but you don’t have the right to harm other people with your words. And you don’t have the right to say things that have really negative, really horrible meanings. When you want people to destroy Israel, that matters.” This follows a spate of GOP-led “hate speech” regulations and laws that help affirm the DNC’s new “social” justice (Progmerican Rule of Law) over “individual” justice (American Rule of Law).

A. WORLD

  1. JAPAN GOES CONSERVATIVE AFTER LANDSLIDE ELECTION BURIES THE LEFT – A new Japan is about to emerge that is sure to frighten China after a landslide victory by Japan’s conservative party leaves leftists with only 5 seats in the parliament. The victory is credited to Japan’s Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, who appeared to take a risk by calling for a snap election soon after her party appointed her Prime Minister.

The gamble has paid off, leaving conservatives with a super majority that will most likely alter Japan’s passivist constitution. One of the major changes expected is ending Japan’s self-imposed limitations on military spending and operations. President Trump congratulated the PM, sharing on Truth Social, “Congratulations to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and her Coalition on a LANDSLIDE Victory in today’s very important Vote. She is a highly respected and very popular Leader. Sanae’s bold and wise decision to call for an Election paid off big time.”

  1. BRITAIN GETS A NEW HOPE WITH A NEW BRITAIN FIRST PARTY – As Nigel Farage of Reform UK appears to have plateaued in his lead in the polls (around 20-25%), frustration has grown that his half approach to the planvasion assault on the British people is wearing thin with British citizens.

Rupert Lowe, who was forced out of Reform by Farage (who even tried to get Lowe arrested based on now-proven trumped up sexual abuse charges), has formed a new party, Restore Britain. He promises not to merely slow down or halt “migration,” he plans on reversing it and sending most recent “migrants” back where they came from.

Since he has entered the race, his party has already hit 10% in the polls, taking mostly from disenfranchised Labour and Conservative voters. The corporate globalist media is doing their best to paint the fascist-nazi-racist label on Lowe, but the target audience most likely is now immune to such baseless treasonous dog whistles of anti-white, anti-British racism.

  1. CHINA’S DOOR SHUTS IN PANAMA CANAL – Panama has moved against two Hong Kong operated ports after pressure by the U.S. to force China out of the canal. Hong Kong was once an independent city-state that has since been taken over by the Chinese Communist party. CK Hutchinson Holdings responded, claiming, “None of the actions by the Panama State were advised to or coordinate with PPC. The Panama State is responsible for harm and damage caused by the confiscatory actions it has taken.”
  2. UN CHIEF BEGS MEMBERS FOR CASH TO KEEP PROJECT ALIVE – After the dust has settled post-Davos, it appears the great ecumenical project, the United Nations, might not make it out of the room alive. The UN’s Secretary-General António Guterres sent an urgent missive out at the end of January of 2026 to ALL 193 member nations. The letter warned of an “imminent financial collapse” should the member nations not kick in more funds IMMEDIATELY. The UN has $1.56 billion in outstanding dues, which has doubled from the previous year.
  3. PERU AXES PRO-CHINA PRESIDENT – After it was revealed that Peru’s President, Jose Jeri, had secret meetings with members of the Chinese Communist Party, Peru’s congress moved quickly to remove the President, who had only been in power for four months. He is the eighth President in eight years and the third President in the time-period to be removed by the congress.

B. ECONOMY

  1. AS UNEMPLOYMENT DROPS, SURGE IN JOBS SHOWS ECONOMY POISED FOR TAKEOFF – The U.S. created 130,000 jobs in January 2026 according to the Department of Labor, which is twice the number of jobs predicted to be created. The unemployment rate has also fallen to 4.3%. The jobs gains are all the stronger because, during this time there was a net loss in Government jobs of 34,000.
  2. WHO SHUTDOWN CONTINUES AS MEMBER NATIONS FAIL TO COME TO THE RESCUE – The World Health Organization (WHO) is shutting down major parts of its operation as it continues to run out of funds. The WHO will be shutting down the Department of Policy, Law, and Human Rights. The WHO and its surrogates continue to appeal to nation-states to rescue it before it’s too late, but so far, there are no takers to that challenge.
  3. SCOTUS CUTS OFF LEFTIST FOREIGN AID SLUSH FUNDS – After lower-level insurrectionist DNC-CCP judges repeatedly attempted to force the Trump administration to keep funding their party’s money laundering foreign aid fund scheme, the Supreme Court has officially ended their judicial tyranny. SCOTUS ruled 6-3 the Trump administration has every right to cut off $4 billion in foreign aid if he so chooses. The six justices assessed that “the harms to the Executive’s conduct of foreign affairs appear to outweigh the potential harm faced by respondents.”
  4. WASHINGTON POST GETS EVISCERATED, INCLUDING SEASONED “JOURNALISTS” – The Washington Post announced another round of massive cuts, this time of 30% of its staff. This includes 300 of its reporters, including a few seasoned ones. Among those journalists include every reporter and editor that covers the Middle East.

The former executive editor of the Washington Post, Marty Barron, commented on the announced cuts, saying “This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world’s greatest news organizations. The Washington Post’s ambitions will be sharply diminished, its talented and brave staff will be further depleted, and the public will be denied the ground-level, fact-based reporting in our communities and around the world that is needed more than ever.”

C. U.S. POLITICS

  1. AMERICANS SUPPORT ICE DEPORTATIONS TWO TO ONE – According to the Democrats’ standards, “Democracy” is America’s central value. As such, news that Americans OVERWHELMINGLY support deporting illegal aliens (61 to 34 percent according to a Cygnal poll) is sure to cause the Democrats to stop calling for ICE agents to be terrorized by their insurgent army.
  2. APPEALS COURT COMPELS IRS TO SURRENDER TAX DATA ON ILLEGALS – The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has ruled that President Trump has a right to retrieve taxpayer information on illegal aliens from the IRS. The court affirmed that laws protecting Americans from tax record privacy protections do not apply to illegals.
  3. TRUMP, GOP BUILD MASSIVE WAR CHEST LEAD OVER DNC AHEAD OF 2026 ELECTIONS – The RNC has $95 million cash in hand compared to the DNC, which has $14 million cash in hand, but $17 million in debt. The RNC is also debt-free. As of the end of 2025, Trump’s Super PAC, MAGA Inc., has raised $289 million in 2025 alone. MAGA Inc. is the biggest Super PAC, with Fairshake, a “Pro-crypto” Super PAC, coming in second at $194 million. A distant third was Leading the Future, a Pro-AI Super PAC, coming in at $39 million.
  4. CALIFORNIA’S ICE UNMASKING LAW CRUSHED BY CLINTON JUDGE – After California Governor Gavin Newsome (D) signed an illegal law forcing ICE agents to be unmasked to make it easier for his army of antifa revolutionaries to hunt and murder them, he was immediately shut down by Clinton-appointed U.S. District Judge Christian Snyder. The so-called “No Secret Police” act aims to help the DNC’s secret and street police, ANTIFA, enforce their unconstitutional “laws.” The judge says the law unfairly discriminates against Federal officers.

The judge did not address the underlying insurrectionist spirit behind the violent law. Attorney General Pam Bondi said of the ruling, “Law enforcement officers risk their lives every day to keep Americans safe, and they do not deserve to be doxed or harassed simply for carrying out their duties. California’s anti-law enforcement policies discriminate against the federal government and are designed to create risk for our agents.”

  1. AS DNC VIRGINIA LUNGES TOWARDS MARXISM, VIRGINIANS WANT GUNS, NOT SPANBERGER – Gun ownership in Virginia has a higher approval rating, 84%, than the Marxist they elected, Abigail Spanberger, who has a 32% approval rating. Her approval comes from the Democrats, who give her a 63.8% rating, compared to the republicans who give her an 88.1% disapproval rating, and independents who give her an 89.7% disapproval rating.
  2. HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL ENDS ANTI-ICE CHILD CRUSADE – The left’s ongoing assault on our children is continuing in high schools where teachers have been traumatizing children with lies about race, sexuality, gender, and America. Now, they’ve whipped the children into a frenzy to goad them into staging Anti-ICE protests. In West Lawn, PA those protests were stopped by a wily High School Principal.

Wilson High School Principal Daniel Weber announced to the students that had left the school to protest that they must immediately return or be suspended. The students had left without school authority, no doubt cheered on by the insurrectionist teachers who helps to contribute to the DNC-CCP’s agit prop on a daily basis. Only 60 students among the 2100 students decided to join protest.

D. CULTURE

  1. AMERICANISM CHAMPIONED IN TWO U.S. GOLD OLYMPIANS – 26-year-old Quinn Hughes scored the winning goal in the golden game of the 2026 Olympics Men’s Hockey tournament, defeating Canada in overtime 2-1. Afterwards, he gave an interview that made it clear he was there to win for the country he loves, America. His message went viral. He said, “It’s special. … I love the U.S. It’s the greatest country in the world, so [I’m] happy to represent it here with these guys. … It’s really special.” Team members were present at President Trump’s State of the Union Address.

Alysia Lui came to America from China, and her father faced great threats by the CCP to do so. Even after she came to America, the CCP was still threatening to kidnap her and force her to skate for China. She survived, going on to win the gold medal for her country of choice, America, knowing better than most Americans the blessing this country is to those who simply want to be self-stewarded people, to be free.

  1. AMA ABANDONS TRANS SURGERIES FOR KIDS – The American Medical Association, a bastion of Progmericanism, has conceded the battle against children by announcing it no longer supports transgender surgery for children. The association stated, “the evidence for gender-affirming surgical intervention in minors is insufficient for us to make a definitive statement…the AMA agrees with ASPS that surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood.”

This followed up this comment from the organization in 2021, “The American Medical Association (AMA) today strengthened its established position opposing the governmental intrusion into the practice of medicine that is detrimental to the health of transgender and gender-diverse children and adults. Legislatures in 20 states this year proposed banning physicians and other health care professionals from providing medically necessary gender-affirming care to transgender and gender-diverse youth…”

  1. DETRANSITIONER’S LAWSUIT VICTORY SETS PRECEDENT TRANS DOCTORS MIGHT NOT SURVIVE – At the end of last month, a malpractice lawsuit was ruled on that opens the door for more challenges to the medical industry’s rush to push patience into transgender surgeries and chemical “therapies.” The lawsuit awarded a 16-year-old girl $2 million for being hastened into life-altering “therapies.” The ruling appears to be setting off a potential wave of new lawsuits by more detransitioners that could price most transgender treatments out of the market.

More lawsuits could bankrupt transgender therapy programs that aggressively pushed the therapies by not clearly letting their patients know the cost of transitioning and also by lowering the previous standards for determining if this type of treatment is needed at all.

  1. DEI DYING IN CORPORATE BOARDROOMS, EXTREME LEFT ORG REPORTS – The far-left anti-human extortion group, Human Rights Campaign, is waving a red flag to alert its far-left anti-human base that their ideology of hate, fear, and fake hope, DEI, is dying. The organization reports only 131 Fortune 500 companies are participating in their extortion questionnaire called the “Corporate Equity Index.” The Index reads as demands, not questions, when you understand what HRC does, with the aid of the DNC-CCP and its corporate allies, to those who do not comply with their demands.
  2. PUERTO RICO’S UNBORN CHILD LAW TAKES EFFECT – Puerto Rican Governor Jenniffer Gonzalez signed an amendment to Senate Bill 823 that recognizes an unborn child as being a human being. The bill is seen as an assault on the abortion industry, which it thankfully is. The Governor declared an unborn child is legally a person, and now, that declaration is codified into Puerto Rican law.

She said at the signing that the law “aims to maintain consistency between civil and criminal provisions by recognizing the unborn child as a human being.” Puerto Rico joins 38 states that recognize the unborn as a person and 27 states that provide protection of the unborn throughout the prenatal period of human development.

She added,Every human being has legal personality and capacity from the moment of conception and is a subject of law for all purposes that are favorable to him or her. The inheritance rights that the law recognizes in favor of the unborn child are subject to the event of birth. The representation of the human being in gestation corresponds to whoever will exercise it when he or she is born and, in case of impossibility or incapacity, to a legal representative or court-appointed guardian.”

  1. TRUMP’S 2026 SOTU FEATURES DEMS REFUSING TO STAND FOR AMERICA – President Trump’s second SOTU of his second presidency was filled with DNC theatrics and a lot of awkward sitting. The President outlined his list of accomplishments, which were heavy on economics, and warned U.S. companies and other countries about reneging on their tariff deals, saying they will keep those deals, “Knowing that the legal power that I as president have to make a new deal could be far worse for them.” He also made his case for potentially attacking Iran but expressed a preference for “diplomacy.”

The key part of the President’s speech was the Democrats not standing up, repeatedly, for Americans. They sat for the men’s U.S. Olympic Gold Hockey team, they sat for more heroes, and they even sat for the mother of a woman slain by an illegal immigrant.  The culmination of them not standing came after Trump said this, “If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”

After the Democrats refused to stand, he stated, “You should be ashamed of yourselves for not standing up. You should be ashamed of yourselves” At one point he called them “sick people.” It will remain to be seen if the moniker sticks.

  1. ESG LOSES IN COURT AS VANGUARD SETTLES AND AGREES TO DROP THE IDEOLOGY – Texas has successfully sued the investment company Vanguard, who has chosen to settle the lawsuit. They have agreed to pay $29.5 million in punitive fees and have agreed to remove restrictions on investments based on a company’s ESG score. Next on the docket is Blackrock, which Texas is also suing for the same reason. Should Blackrock fold, the two main progenitors of ESG would be out of the ESG business.
  2. 3RD TRANSGENDERED MASS SHOOTER IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR KILLS SELF, WIFE, SON, AND ONE OTHER – A man presenting himself as a woman opened fire at a Rhode Island hockey game, killing his wife, his son, and then himself. Another person later died of their injuries. The killer was Robert Dorgan, who has a long social media history of making violent threats, including to Kevin Sorbo and Alec Jones.

He threatened people online saying, “Keep bashing us, but do not wonder why we Go BERSERK.” It could have been worse had a male bystander not intervened, causing the shooter to pull out another gun to shoot himself with.

  1. POTOMAC RIVER SEWAGE DISASTER TRIGGERED BY DNC INCOMPETENCE, TRUMP PROMISES RELIEF – HHS Secretary Kristi Noem is accusing Maryland’s State Democrat leadership of gross incompetence that led to a catastrophic environmental disaster in the Potomac River. Millions of gallons of sewage water were released into the Potomac because of a faulty pipe.

Noem said, “Thanks to gross mismanagement by Maryland’s Democrat leaders, hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage has reportedly been dumped into the Potomac River—flowing straight through our nation’s capital and endangering millions of people, wildlife, and the entire DC region’s water supply.”

The President has responded by pledging to use Federal resources to attempt to clean up the mess. DC Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) has officially declared a public emergency and requested Federal rescue.

B. EPSTEIN FILES

  1. LATEST TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT TRIGGERED BY EPSTEIN FILES – 26-year-old Austin Tucker Martin somehow got onto President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate with a loaded shotgun and a can of gasoline. He was met by Secret Service who ordered him to put the shotgun, and the gas can down. He aimed the shotgun at the agents, who responded by shooting him dead immediately.

Martin appears to have been a former Trump supporter who allegedly went sour on Trump in response to his handling of the Epstein Files. He appears to have had mental health issues. A few days before the attempted assassination, he was reported missing by his family. He purchased the shotgun on his way to Mar-a-Lago from his North Carolina home.

  1. EARLY ON, TRUMP WANTED EPSTEIN, MAXWELL PROSECUTED, RECORDS SHOW – Epstein court documents reveal President Trump was one of the first people to raise an alarm about Jeffrey Epstein. He did so in 2006 when he called the police to recommend that they investigate Jeffrey Epstein AND Gislaine Maxwell, whom he called evil. The transcript of the phone call reveals Trump suspected Maxwell of being Epstein’s “operative.” He also called her “evil.” The call happened shortly after the Epstein investigation began.
  2. AMERICA, UK LEADERSHIP STILL UNDER INCREASING EPSTEIN FILES SCRUTINY – Pam Bondi’s showdown with U.S. congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) highlights the growing GOP divide between those who think there’s something serious to the Epstein Files and those who don’t. President Trump’s disconnect from this issue appears to be leading his strongest supporters to want to follow the lead.

Thomas Massie isn’t the only congressmember pressing for a full disclose of the people involved in the “alleged” child sex trafficking and blackmailing for real political power ring, including Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Nancy Mace (R-SC), both of whom claim to have seen some of the unredacted names, names that are still powerful and well-known today.

  1. EPSTEIN FILES DUMP HURTS UK MORE THAN U.S. – The Epstein Files release has triggered a growing scandal in the UK that continues to threaten their Prime Minster, Keir Starmer. He continues to hold on even as top members of his cabinet have been forced to resign. His connection to the Epstein Files is through allowing members of his cabinet, including his hand-picked U.S. ambassador, to continue to serve in government even after he KNEW they kept their connections to Epstein AFTER his conviction. This fact was not disclosed to the public, but it was to Starmer.

  1. XI SURVIVES COUP ATTEMPT, MAKES FIRST PUBLIC ADDRESS OF THE PURGE THAT FOLLOWED – Chairman Xi of China has finally publicly addressed the purge of most of his military leaders and political “allies” in response to what appears to have been a coup attempt by his second-in-command, Zhang Youxia. He addressed the military, stating, “The past year has been unusual and extraordinary, The People’s Army has deepened its political education, effectively addressed various risks and challenges and undergone revolutionary forging in the fight against corruption.”

While Xi has survived the coup, mobilizations within China suggest he has yet to fully restore stability. So far, none of the top spots have been replaced by anyone else. The purge leaves the military without seasoned Generals, and one of the few who has experienced combat, Youxia, is among the Generals that have been purged. As of right now, the conditions in China are still fluid by our assessment. Youxia himself is now rumored to have died in prison.

  1. EL MENCHO DEATH TRIGGERS CARTEL CIVIL WAR IN MEXICO – On Sunday, February 22, 2026, a raid led by the Mexican army and supported by U.S. assets successfully eliminated the top cartel leader in the region, “El Mencho,” or Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes. He was the general of Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). He was killed in the town of Tapalpa, Jalisco.

Since his death, his well-armed and well-equipped militia has responded by launching terror attacks on multiple cities throughout Mexico, leaving foreigners, including Americans, stranded. Roadblocks were set up by the cartels where they took cars. 25 Mexican National Guardsmen have been killed in coordinated attacks, with the total estimated deaths so far placed at 60. The Mexican President, Caludia Sheinbaum, claims they’ve stopped the roadblocks, but video footage continues to come out suggesting otherwise. The situation is still fluid in Mexico.

  1. RUSSIA AND CHINA JOIN IRAN MILITARY EXERCISES AS TRUMP CONSIDERS NEXT MOVE – President Trump has been moving more U.S. military assets, including carrier groups, into the Persian Gulf region as he threatens war with Iran while continuing to engage diplomatically with Iran. China and Russia have participated in a joint military exercise with Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. At home, the President faces a potential congressional challenge to his authority to start a war with Iran. While protests continue sporadically in Iran, and reports of explosions continue to leak out, the regime appears fully in charge as it continues to slaughter the opposition.

D. INSURRECTION

  1. DNC INSURRECTION SHOWS SIGNS OF BECOMING MORE VIOLENT, AS PUBLIC SCHOOLS RECRUIT CHILDREN INTO THE DNC INSURRECTIONIST ARMY – While the violence is dying down in Minnesota after Trump announced a draw-down and a “gentler” approach to deporting illegal aliens, insurrectionist government teachers are using their government powers to force children into the battlefield. As the child crusades of the DNC start, the injuries are starting to pile up.
  2. FOREIGN NATIONALS ARE FUNDING DNC INSURRECTIONIST OPERATIONS THROUGH NON-PROFIT FRAUD – Witnesses testifying at a House Ways and Means Committee hearing are claiming that foreign nationals are illegally sending millions (if not billions) of dollars to bankroll DNC insurrectionist organizations.

Capital Research Center President Scott Walker said of the testimonies, “It’s refreshing to have a hearing where all witnesses share strong agreement on a central point, namely, foreign money should be kept out of American politics. A lot of these [foreign funding] problems involve America’s nonprofit sector, which is traditionally a glory and a strength of this exceptional country. But foreigners abuse this sector — especially tools like fiscal sponsorship and donor-advised funds, which aren’t inherently bad things — in order to hide their influence ops.”

  1. AS ANTI-ICE TERROR ASSAULTS CONTINUE, SENATOR CLAIMS OPERATION IS FOREIGN-FUNDED – The terrorist assaults on ICE agents in the lawful commission of a Presidential order are decreasing, but hardly ending. Public schools run by insurrectionists have built children’s armies, taking them away from learning and into the frontlines of their insurrectionist war.

Senator Jim Banks (R-IN) has sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, urging her to investigate the foreign funding of the terrorist operation. He wrote, “I urge you to investigate foreign influence behind anti-ICE activism. Progressive groups across the country are organizing protests, economic boycotts, and school walkouts to oppose immigration enforcement, they are inciting the obstruction of federal law.”

ED. NOTE: We support the rights of Americans to lawfully protest ICE action until it interferes with the lawful commission of a Presidential order. We do NOT support the use of children as political weapons whipped up into an anti-American frenzy by a treasonous class of Progmericans, the leftist public-school teachers.

  1. JUDGEFARE INSURRECTION EXPOSED BY THE NEW YORK TIMES – An article in the New York Times called “The Plan for a Radically Different Supreme Court Is Here,” exposes the Progmerican ideological capture of Federal judges and its plans to only accelerate the acts of insurrectionist judges.

The organization cultivating and identifying potential and existing jurists willing to rule based on social justice (Progmerican Rule of Law) over Individual Justice (American Rule of Law) is called the American Constitution Society (which is, in real spirit, the Progmerican Social Justice Rule of Law Society). This is the society the Biden committee used to select the 235 judges now working as one in opposition to the American republic, in lock step with Progmerican rule of law.

Jeffrey Toobin of CNN echoed the plan the article exposed, saying “For now, under Mr. Brest, the A.C.S. seems headed for an approach that looks like the one that Democratic politicians have so far adopted: aimed more at opposition to Mr. Trump’s record rather than on a specific, alternative vision for the Constitution. In his opening message to the group, Mr. Brest described the A.C.S. as building ‘a bulwark against overreach by the Trump administration and the Roberts court. Mr. Brest has pledged that A.C.S. will continue its Biden-era focus on judicial appointments … As for what those judges will stand for — as opposed to what they stand against — Mr. Brest has no clear answer.”

  1. FANI WILLIS, BIDEN ADMIN WORKED TOGETHER TO EXECUTE LAWFARE ASSAULT ON TRUMP – Fulton County DA Fani Willi’s deputy, F. Donald Wakeford, was caught in an email colluding with the Biden administration. The exchange was between Wakeford and Biden’s special council, Richard Sauber. They were exchanging notes on how to best use lawfare to assault their shared enemy, Donald Trump.

In September 2022, Sauber’s communicated to Wakeford, “These events threatened not only the safety of Congress and others present at the Capitol, but also the principles of democracy enshrined in our history and our Constitution. In light of these unique circumstances, President Biden has determined, as he did with respect to the Congressional investigation of these events, that an assertion of executive privilege is not in the public interest with respect to efforts to thwart the orderly transition of power under our Constitution.”

CHINA MAKES MOVE TO KILL U.S. GLOBAL RESERVE CURRENCY MONOPOLY – As Chairman Xi struggles to hold on to power at home, abroad he’s flexing his economic muscle, making a call for the Chinese Yuan to join the U.S. dollar as becoming a global reserve currency. The comments were from 2024, but were just released now, in conjunction with China’s European campaign, which includes the UK, where Xi won major concessions and territory in central London to build a massive spy center.

  1. JESUS, DOGS IN UK CROSSHAIRS TO APPEASE ALLAH – In a bid to make Muslims feel comfortable in a predominantly Christian country, the United Kingdom’s government is seeking to protect them from a “Walk with Jesus” walk, telling the organization they’re not banning the event, they’re just not allowing it in White Chapel because Muslims.

The Metropolitan Police of London stated, “We have encouraged UKIP to consider the very real likelihood that their presence in Whitechapel could lead to serious disruption or serious disorder and to consider an alternative proposal. We are not saying that the UKIP protest, in isolation, will be disorderly. But we do know that many will find it provocative and that provocation is likely to lead to an adverse local reaction. We reasonably believe, based on the information available and on previous similar incidents, that the coming together of the UKIP protest with opposing groups who are hostile to its presence would be highly likely to lead to violence and serious disorder.”

The government is also doing a study on how to reduce whiteness in rural Britain to appeal to more non-whites coming in to visit and to move in and make the land their own. It seems the pet dog is the symbol of that colonizing white spirit, and as such the UK is looking into ways to curb dog ownership and public dog possession so that the incoming Muslims don’t feel colonized by the white devil.

  1. CHINA’S OWN NUMBERS SHOW BIRTH RATE COLLAPSE AND DEATH RATE EXPLOSION – According to China’s own numbers, the country’s birth rate hit 5.63 births per 1,000 people, a rate not seen since 1949. On the opposite side of the scale, China’s death rate hit 8.04 per 1000 people, which is up from 2024’s 7.76 deaths per 1000.

The death rate in 2025 exceeds the WORST death rates during the pandemic years, with 2024 ALSO exceeding those numbers. One major factor pushing the death rate up is simply China’s aging population. Over 23% of Chinese citizens are over the age of 60. Remember, these are China’s own reported numbers. There is growing skepticism about the population size of China, as well as to the extent of the unexplained deaths that have been happening in China (none which can be fully substantiated).

  1. CANADA TO BEGIN GUN CONFISCATIONS IN OCTOBER 2026 – After 5 years of having the “opportunity” to turn in their no-no guns and get paid in return, the time limit is running out. While the exact numbers of potential offenders are hard to find, the fact that the government has already extended the time limit three times tell you they’ve gotten themselves into an unenforceable situation, they lack the power to confiscate all the guns that haven’t been voluntarily turned in already.

Blair Hagen, an executive with the National Firearms Association, said the Canadian government has more problems than just non-compliance, saying, “We’re finding that they’re running into a lot of compliance issues. They have no idea where [the guns are] or who has them. So it’s proving to be a very, very difficult situation for the government.”

  1. EUTHANASIA ADVOCACY GROUP MAKES BANK PUSHING SUICIDES IN CANADA – The euthanasia advocacy group “Dying with Dignity” is apparently making millions hawking suicide to Canadians, suicides that have already seen the mentally ill and the medically neglected counted among their victims. In 2024 alone, Dying with Dignity had $9 million in tax free assets. The latest figures haven’t been released yet, but in Canada, suicide advocacy groups are treated like religious groups in America, they don’t pay taxes. The profit for pushing death is high.

  1. AFTER U.S. TANGLE WITH CHINA OVER SOUTH KOREAN AIRSPACE, GUESS WHO THE SOUTH KOREANS HAVE AN ISSUE WITH? – South Korea’s takeover by their Democratic Party has launched the country towards a Chinese death spiral that was confirmed when the U.S. changed its defense agreement with the now-CCP-captured country. Afterwards, an aerial dust-up between the U.S. and China has South Korea complaining about America’s presence, not China’s. Since the announcement, the U.S. is still engaging in drills with South Korea, for now.

Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-back issued a formal complain with the USFK commander, Army General Xavier Brunson. He was complaining about an incident that saw 10 U.S. F-16 Fighting Falcons entering South Korean and Chinese air defense identification zones. After it entered the space, China sent two fighter aircraft, resulting in what was only described as a “rare standoff.”

  1. KIM JONG-UN’S SISTER GAINS PROMINENCE AFTER WORKER’S PARTY CONGRESS VOTE – For only the 9th time since the Kims took over North Korea in 1948, the Workers’ Party Congress convened. They affirmed Kim Jong-un as their supreme leader and promoted his sister, and right-hand lieutenant, Kim Jo-jong, from a deputy department director to a full department director.
  2. CANADA ALLOWS SAD SUFFERER TO KILL HIMSELF – 26-year-old Kiano Vafaeian was given permission by the Canadian government to be murdered by doctors on the grounds that that suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is “grievous and irremediable.” Vafaeian is also blind and suffers from Type 1 Diabetes. Neither condition qualifies for MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying).

The family of Vafaeian claim, “We believe that she (the MAiD doctor) was coaching him on how to deteriorate his body and what she can possibly approve him for and what she can get away with approving him for. We don’t want to see any other family member suffer, or any country introduce a piece of legislation that kills their disabled or vulnerable without appropriate proper treatment plans that could save their lives.”

  1. WASHINGTON DEMS PLUG SOCIALIST DEBT HOLE WITH POLICE, FIREFIGHTERS’ PENSIONS – Democrat “lawmakers” in the insurrectionist state of Washington passed legislation that essentially raids the pensions of police and firefighters to the tune of $4 billion. They hope to use the stolen funds to plug a deficit in their budget caused by their own bloated socialist programs.

One recipient of that stolen money will be the “Climate Commitment Account,” which is a de facto DNC-CCP political slush fund that helps arm its street fighters we see across America on a regular basis. These street fighters have been terrorizing cities and burning down businesses for years now. They will receive over half a billion dollars, or 12.5% of the Police and Firefighters pension fund.

  1. SCIENTISTS THREATEN PLANET WITH PANDEMIC IF WE DON’T END GLOBAL WARMING – A team of Romanian researchers appear to be the tip of the spear of a new climate change content marketing strategy involving dangerous bacteria. The researchers have discovered bacteria in ice cores from 5,000 years ago that appear immune to most current antibiotics. The researchers warn if global warming continues, the melted ice could release these bacteria, leading to a global, catastrophic pandemic.
  2. 11. HOCHUL LETS CHINA INVADE AMERICAN STREETS WITH DATA COLLECTING ROBOTAXIS – The Governor of New York and DNC-CCP party member Kathy Hochul handed New York’s vital data over to the Chinese Communist Party by allowing a country sworn to destroy our power to run their robotaxis, called Waymos, on American streets.

The company, Zeke, is a CCP-approved corporation that manufactures what are essentially street spies that members of the Democrat party appear more than ready to cosign. This, in part, is why this publication refers to the Democrats as the DNC-CCP, for they are frenemies working against their shared enemy, America.

  1. HINDU MOBS ATTACK INDIAN CHRISTIAN HOMES – After Indian Christians refused to denounce Christ, a mob of Hindu Indians attacked their homes, destroying them. Four families, 25 believers, were affected by the assault, which was carried out by 20 villagers. Attacks by Hindus against Christians have only increased under the Hindu nationalist Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi.

Christian Solidarity Worldwide President Mervyn Thomas said of the attacks, “It is deeply concerning to witness the grave and unacceptable assault and humiliation these families have been subjected to on account of their religion. Even more alarming is the failure of the police to protect these vulnerable citizens, which has emboldened the perpetrators. We call upon the district administration and state authorities to intervene as matter of urgency, ensuring the safety of the affected families, restoring their rights, compensating them for the loss of their homes, and holding those responsible to account under the law.”

A top Department of Homeland Security official vowed during a private call with election officials Wednesday that immigration officers will not be stationed at polling places in November amid Democratic warnings about interference in the midterms by the federal government.

Heather Honey, the department’s deputy assistant secretary for election integrity, dismissed as “disinformation” any fears that officers from Immigration Customs and Enforcement would be deployed to the polls as part of President Donald Trump’s ongoing mass deportation campaign.

“Any suggestion that ICE is going to be present at polling places is simply disinformation,” Honey said, according to four people on the call who were granted anonymity to discuss it. “There will be no ICE presence at polling locations.”

By this time 26 years ago, the “Dot-Com Bubble” was ready to burst. People who wanted to raise investor money claimed that they could sell anything affordably on a website; three companies were devoted just to pet food and buying ad space on broadcast television.So-called AI is enjoying a similar frenzy. Though they are still just Large Language Models (LLMs), and the best analogy for that is a fancy autocomplete, they are attracting huge levels of financial investment partly because of the potential and then primarily because people want to make money on stocks, not companies.

The Dot-Com Bubble did collapse but progress continued without the hype(1) you can buy dog food affordably on the the internet now, though the big money is artisanal dog food marketed toward wealthy elites. That may be the future for AI in 25 years also. For now, while AI is still a long way off, tasks that academics considered challenging for LLMs, like the 2020 Multitask Language Understanding (MMLU) benchmark designed to evaluate ability using 57 topics, are now easy for the private sector to master.

The former Prime Minister of Norway has been rushed to hospital after a reported suicide attempt.

Thorbjørn Jagland was hospitalised on Tuesday, February 24, just a few days after he was charged with serious corruption offences, linked to his association with paedophile Epstein. Reports of Jagland attempting suicide were denied by his lawyer.

Jagland was charged with “gross corruption” after newly released documents appeared to reveal a transactional relationship between the ex-PM and convicted paedophile, between 2011 and 2018. Some Norwegian outlets have reported a suicide attempt, but the high-profile statesman’s legal team has insisted he was rushed to the hospital due to extreme stress instead of a deliberate act.

When your average daily token usage is 8 billion a day, you have a massive scale problem.

This was the case at AT&T, and chief data officer Andy Markus and his team recognized that it simply wasn’t feasible (or economical) to push everything through large reasoning models.

So, when building out an internal Ask AT&T personal assistant, they reconstructed the orchestration layer. The result: A multi-agent stack built on LangChain where large language model “super agents” direct smaller, underlying “worker” agents performing more concise, purpose-driven work.

The Chagos Islands deal fell into disarray Wednesday amid conflicting U.K. government messages about whether ratification was paused for talks with the United States over the strategic Indian Ocean military base Diego Garcia.

Foreign Office Minister Hamish Falconer had told members of Parliament that ratification of the deal to cede the islands to Mauritius had been paused while discussions with Washington continued.

A U.K. government spokesperson later denied there was any formal suspension of the process, insisting no deadline had ever been set and reiterating that Britain would not move forward without American backing.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said Wednesday that the dispute between the U.S. Defense Department and Anthropic is “not the end of the world.”

His comments come after U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave Anthropic until Friday to loosen its rules on how the Pentagon can use its AI tools, or risk losing its government contract.

If Anthropic fails to comply, Hegseth threatened to label the company a “supply chain risk” or invoke the Defense Production Act, sources told CNBC‘s Ashley Capoot and Kate Rooney earlier this week.

In the age of AI, the scarcest resource in headquarters is no longer time. It is, rather, the willingness to say no.

Artificial intelligence is moving rapidly into military planning staffs because it compresses routine cognitive labor. AI excels at absorbing guidance, reorganizing complex material, and producing clear strategic language at speed. This feels like a qualitative advance, creating the impression that planning itself has become easier. But this impression misleads. The risk of AI-enabled planning is that it will produce plausible constructs that obscure where judgment is required, creating the illusion that analytic completeness can substitute for prioritization.

AI is seen as “raising the floor” by making it easier to produce adequate products. That is true. Yet AI also “collapses the median” by increasing the relative cost of real insight. As AI-enabled planning begin to inform real-world operations, the temptation is to treat complete answers as sufficient, without interrogating whether they represent the right answers to the hard questions of what to resource, what to defer, and what risk to accept.

Cowardice ran rampant among Democrats during President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday night, according to Vice President J.D. Vance.

During a Wednesday interview, Vance focused on one section of Trump’s address where he asked legislators committed to America to rise.

“One of the great things about the State of the Union is how it gives Americans the chance to see clearly what their representatives really believe,” Trump said, according to Roll Call.
