Yup. Looks like arsonist got a good start inland and then went north, set another one nearer the coast, then cut across the island and set one on the NW shore.

Universities are facing big cuts to research funding. At Duke, it's a time for 'damage control' Mar. 8, 2025

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) —Facing the potential loss of hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding, Duke University is preparing for the worst.

Like research universities around the United States, the private school inNorth Carolina's Research Trianglewould see a massive loss from Trump administration cuts to grants from the National Institutes of Health. (Where the produced Covid and other diseases)

Duke would be among the hardest hit. In its previous fiscal year,Duke took in $580 million in NIH grants and contracts, 11th most among the country's research institutions. The cuts are delayed temporarily by a court challenge, but universities nationwide have implemented hiring freezes, scaled back research and drawn up contingency plans in case the loss in funding takes effect.

Historically, the federal government has negotiated with colleges and universities on its contribution toward their operating costs.If a scientist wins a federal grant to fund their research, the government pays the school an additional amount as a percentage of the grant money.

At Duke, the current rate for these “indirect costs” — expenses such as utilities and laboratory maintenance — is about 61%.Last month, President Donald Trump's administration set the rate cap at 15%, significantly less than most universities receive.

The cut in indirect costs is far from the only concern.Funding for new grants also slowed to a trickle after the NIH halted grant application review meetings in January. At Duke, NIH grant andcontract award notices plummeted, dropping from 166 in January and February of 2024 to 64 so far in 2025, according to the university.(I wonder why, animal tests or viruses, or just fucking around to find out?)

Already, the uncertainty is causing reverberations at Duke's School of Medicine,which receives over three-quarters of the university's NIH funding. Expansion projects are being shelved. Fewer Ph.D. students are being admitted. And researchers are assessing whether their projects can continue.

Payments maintain freezers and machines to grow cancer cells

The Trump administration has described indirect costs as “administrative bloat” and said the cuts would save more than $4 billion annually. The change would also free up more money for scientific research, officials said.

“The Trump administration is committed to slashing the cottage industry built off of the waste, fraud, and abuse within our mammoth government while prioritizing the needs of everyday Americans,” White House spokesperson Kush Desai said.

Through NIH funding, universities for decades have partnered with the federal government to support scientists’ academic pursuits.

(All these universities have money from donations of billionaires, and they have huge endowments, use that money if they are so determined for creepy science)

Russian military liberates multiple villages in Kursk Region

Moscow’s forces have seized control of three settlements in the north of the Ukrainian-controlled pocket

Russia has liberated three villages in Kursk Region, marking a new advance against the Ukrainian invasion force in the area, the Defense Ministry in Moscow announced on Saturday.

The villages of Viktorovka, Nikolayevka and Staraya Sorochina are situated on the northernmost tip of the Ukrainian-controlled area in Russia’s Kursk Region. The settlements are located immediately to the west of the village of Malaya Loknya, a major stronghold for the Ukrainian force in the region, and across the eponymous river. The fall of the three villages puts the Ukrainian troops holed up in the area in a more precarious position.

Over the past few days, things have rapidly deteriorated for the Ukrainian force in the area. Russian troops continue pressuring the town of Sudzha, the largest settlement under Kiev’s control in Kursk Region. The invasion force has been experiencing logistics troubles and is now dependent on a single major cross-border road, which has been coming under constant Russian drone and artillery strikes.

This week, multiple media reports suggested that Kiev’s troops were on the brink of encirclement in the area, with between 6,500 and 10,000 soldiersat risk of being cut off completely. All bridges in the vicinity of Sudzha have reportedly been destroyed, while heavy damage to the road infrastructure is hampering the Ukrainian forces’ ability to resupply and, potentially, withdraw from the area.

Kiev launched a surprise invasion of Kursk early in August last year, seizing Sudzha and multiple settlements in its vicinity in a matter of days. Since then, the Ukrainian zone of control has shrunk more than twofold, while Russia has regained control over numerous locations in the area.

The Kursk incursion has taken a heavy toll on the Ukrainian military. More than 65,500 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed or wounded in the area, while some 386 tanks, nearly 300 infantry fighting vehicles, 259 armored personnel carriers, and over 2,000 other armored vehicles have been destroyed or captured, according to the Russian military.

Peter Thiel has major influence on Trump government – Bloomberg

Over a dozen people linked to the PayPal co-founder hold positions within the administration, the media outlet estimates

(What did they expect, we are in a Tech War. Did they ever hear about Panintir? A war related industry?)

Tech mogul and billionaire Peter Thiel exerts considerable influence over US President Donald Trump’s administration, a Bloomberg article has claimed.Unlike Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, however, he prefers to keep a low profile.

More than a dozen individuals connected to Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal, Palantir Technologies, and Founders Fund, have been integrated into the Trump administration, Bloomberg wrote on Friday.

This group includes “current and former employees of his companies, as well as people who have helped manage his fortune or benefitted from his investments and charitable giving.”

The outlet listed 15 individuals within the government who are seen as having ties to the entrepreneur, five of whom serve in the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Among the officials are Vice President J.D. Vance and AI and crypto czar David Sacks. According to Bloomberg, the former had worked at Thiel’s Mithril Capital, while Thiel reportedly acted as Vance’s “mentor” and sponsor. The tech tycoon is also said to have helped Vance make inroads with Trump in 2021 after the then-Ohio senator publicly criticized the Republican firebrand. Sacks, a longtime associate of Thiel, is also a PayPal co-founder.

Thiel, 57, does not hold any official position in the administration.

Bloomberg quoted Quinn Slobodian, professor of international history at Boston University, as describing the extent of prominent big tech figures’ supposed influence on the US government as “unprecedented in the modern era.” The scholar suggested that these individuals are more interested in executing a “bottom-up renovation of how the government operates” as opposed to merely “profiting from state contracts.”

The outlet pointed out that Musk, the prime crusader against government waste and bureaucracy in the Trump administration, also has long had ties to Thiel. (No kidding he endorsed him in 2015-16)

(Took out the gossip of WH meeting with Musk and Rubio which NYTs made up. Bloomberg hates Trump, take everything they report with a grain of salt)

15,000 march through Amsterdam for International Women’s Day

Some 15,000 people have taken part in the Feminist March through central Amsterdam to mark International Women’s Day.

“Given growing inequality, social injustice and global challenges, it is now time for action,” the organisers said in a press release. “This massive turnout shows that feminism is more relevant than ever.”

Carrying placards with texts such as “Abortion in the constitution” and “Keep your hands off my womb”, the demonstrators marched from the Dam in the heart of the city to Museumplein.

Bus and car traffic had to be diverted for a time because of the crowds.

“We have one slogan, ‘The future is feminist’,” said co-organiser Devika Partiman, from the Stem op een Vrouw organization, which encourages women to take part in politics. “It is nice and vague. We wanted to make sure people did not think that this is nothing for them,” she told the Parool.

Last year the march did not go ahead because the organisers said they were concerned about the safety of pro-Palestine demonstrators.

FDIC Resists Transparency On Operation Chokepoint 2.0; Coinbase CLO Says

At least 30 tech and crypto founders were reportedly “secretly debanked” in the US during Operation Chokepoint 2.0...

Some US government agencies continue to deny transparency regarding their role in Operation Chokepoint 2.0, a period during the Biden administration when crypto and tech founders were allegedly denied banking services, according to Coinbase chief legal officer Paul Grewal.

The collapse of crypto-friendly banks in early 2023 sparked the first allegations of Operation Chokepoint 2.0. Critics, including venture capitalist Nic Carter, described it as a government effort to pressure banks into cutting ties with cryptocurrency firms.

Despite recent regulatory shifts, agencies like the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) continue to “resist basic transparency” efforts, Grewal wrote in a March 8 post on X.

“They haven’t gotten the message,” he wrote.

Fox News is wall to wall with dead-eyed politicians telling you that Iran is a dangerous “sponsor of terror.” Softening up the base for a war. But what exactly does that phrase mean, and how does it apply to the United States? Here’s one measure: over the past twenty years, how many Americans have been killed by Iran on American soil? Try to find that number, and then compare it to the number of Americans killed by drug ODs. Or suicide. Or illegal aliens. Or carjackings, diabetes and the Covid vax. Still think Iran is the greatest threat? How about we focus on our own country for a minute.

I sold my virginity for £1.6MILLION when I was at uni to a Hollywood actor who visited Jeffrey Epstein's paedophile island... but I don't regret anything - now I'm rich and famous

A British university student who auctioned off her virginity for £1.6million has revealed she has no regrets and now wants to become a sugar baby doted on by rich men.

Laura, 22, from Manchester, is one of an increasing number of young women who have sold their virginity on escort sites for large sums of cash.

Despite being born into a 'very strict' family with a religious background, she told MailOnline she 'never wanted to be still single and broke' and felt that, logically, a virginity sale was an easy solution.

And although she found out the man who bid the most for taking her virginity was a Hollywood actor who had visited Jeffrey Epstein's paedophile island, Laura still slept with him.

Now, almost a year after losing her virginity and £1.6million richer, Laura says she has 'no regrets'.

She now hopes to become a sugar baby and demands interested men pay her £30,000-a-month for the pleasure of her company.

The youngster first decided to sell her virginity in December 2023, which is when she submitted an application to escort site Cinderella Escorts.

Laura was then invited to events to meet potential buyers before eventually 'taking it a step further' just months later.

In a hugely competitive bidding process, an 'extremely well-known Hollywood actor from Los Angeles' won the virginity auction, beating a 'politician from London' and a 'Dubai businessman'.

Then, a date for the event was arranged and a member of the escort site's team later accompanied her to a five-star London hotel to meet the man who had laid down more than a £1million to have sex with her.

Laura said that the buyer even brought a doctor to 'confirm the authenticity' of her virginity beforehand.

She insists that while she had not conventionally dated her buyer, they had organised a meeting prior in order to ensure that she 'felt comfortable with the idea of taking it a step further'.

And, far from feeling apprehensive, the young woman could 'hardly wait' to make the hugely anticipated sale.

She said: 'When my virginity was bought, we arranged a day where I was invited to a hotel to spend the night with him. He had brought a doctor with him on the same day to confirm the authenticity of my virginity beforehand.

'It was actually nothing more than an escort booking, with the difference being that I had never had sex before and the amount paid was a lot higher'.

Describing the interaction with her buyer as completely 'harmless' , Laura insisted she had previously 'made friends with the idea' of losing her virginity in a non-traditional way and had also clearly communicated her sexual preferences beforehand.

Ukraine loses access to US commercial satellites

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has suspended the service at President Donald Trump’s behest

The US National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has stopped providing Ukraine with satellite imagery paid for by Washington, several media outlets have reported, citing a statement by the agency. The decision was made in line with President Donald Trump’s “directive on support to Ukraine,” it said.

The move follows Washington’s recent freeze on further weapons deliveries and intelligence sharing with Kiev, which, in turn, came on the heels of last Friday’s altercation between Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky and President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance at the White House. The US head of state accused Zelensky of ingratitude and “gambling with World War III” by refusing to seek peace with Russia.

Obamas ‘Soft Launching’ Divorce? Megyn Kelly and Daily Mail Columnist Maureen Callahan on New Details Emerging (VIDEO)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/obamas-soft-launching-divorce-megyn-kelly-daily-mail

Are the Obamas ‘soft launching’ a divorce?

Rumors the Obamas were headed for a divorce began in December after Michelle Obama skipped Jimmy Carter’s funeral and announced she wouldn’t be attending Trump’s inauguration.

It was also recently reported that Barack and Michelle Obama’s largest donors have dropped them amid rumors about their marriage.

Last month Meghan McCain added fuel to the long-swirling speculation surrounding the marriage of Barack and Michelle Obama, claiming that her sources have confirmed the former first couple is living “separate lives.”

It’s doubtful her nominees would be favorably considered by the president, since she has attacked him relentlessly, both in his first term and recently with increased venom.

REASON WHY DECLASS IS NOT FORTHCOMING?

1/2

Found this article after I started searching for the source of the Ariel article quoted at the bottom of this piece. (couldn’t find it)

https://sunnysjournal.com/2025/03/07/the-real-reason-they-wont-release-the-epstein-files-yet/

A View from the Couch: The Real Reason They Won’t Release the Epstein Files

They want you to think the Epstein files are just about a sex trafficking ring. They’re not. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. The real reason they can’t release them? Because, like the JFK, RFK, and MLK files… like the financial crimes of Sam Bankman-Fried and Ross Ulbricht… like the corruption investigations tied to Diddy… it all leads back to the same place.

A global blackmail and financial control network—one that traces through intelligence agencies, deep-state operatives, and the old power structures that have ruled from the shadows. The CIA, Mossad, the Nazis who fled to South America, and the Prussians entrenched in the Bank of England. This isn’t a collection of isolated scandals—it’s a worldwide Ponzi scheme of power and control.

The only way to release the truth is all at once. That’s why they stall. That’s why they cover up. Because if one domino falls, they all do.

And that moment is coming.

~T edit: This. Too.

A View From the Couch: Is the Southern District of New York About to Blow the Lid Off Everything?

February 28, 2025 – So, I’m sprawled out here on my couch, scrolling X, sipping coffee that’s gone cold, and I can’t shake this feeling: the Southern District of New York (SDNY) might just be the stage where all the wildest crime stories collide. You’ve got the Epstein files, the Silk Road saga, and shady bankers manipulating markets—honestly, it’s like a Netflix binge, but it’s real life.

Let’s start with Jeffrey Epstein. Those files piling up in the SDNY? They’re not just some dusty PDFs. They’re from a full-on federal dragnet that kicked off after his cushy 2008 Florida plea deal pissed everyone off. By 2019, the SDNY hauled him in—sex trafficking, minors, a whole network of recruiters and enablers stretching from Manhattan to Palm Beach. Indictments, flight logs, creepy photos from his safe—it’s all there, spelling out a predator with friends in high places. Even after he died, they nabbed Ghislaine Maxwell, and the feds keep sniffing around. Why? Because guys like Leon Black (Apollo bigshot), Jes Staley (ex-Barclays CEO), and Leslie Wexner (Victoria’s Secret money) bankrolled or hobnobbed with Epstein. Coincidence? Maybe. But my couch theory says there’s more to unpack. @AwakenedOutlaw@burnedspy360 @BrainStorm_Joe

Then there’s Silk Road—Ross Ulbricht’s dark web Walmart for drugs and dirty Bitcoin. The SDNY shut it down, locked him up for life, and grabbed billions in crypto from his stash. Those files aren’t sleeping either; they’ve got details on advisers and vendors who kept that machine humming—some even tied to murder-for-hire plots. The SDNY’s cybercrime crew is still swinging, chasing anyone who thought Tor could hide them.

And here’s where my brain starts buzzing: financial crimes. The SDNY’s been eyeballing market manipulation and Wall Street’s dark corners forever. Epstein’s banker buddies weren’t just writing checks—they were players in a system that thrives on opacity. Silk Road washed money through crypto; Epstein’s pals allegedly played fast and loose with markets. Could this courthouse in Lower Manhattan be where it all ties together? A nexus of trafficking, digital black markets, and elite greed?

Look, I’m no detective—just a guy with Wi-Fi and a hunch. But from this couch, it feels like the SDNY’s sitting on a powder keg. Epstein’s files, Silk Road’s fallout, and the bankers who always seem to skate.

Maybe they’re pieces of the same ugly puzzle. Pass the popcorn.” NO MORE COINCIDENCE @BeerCan45 @patel_patriot @JackMaxey1 @MariaBartiromo@realDonaldTrump@ReckoningTruthZ @RealAbs1776 @Thucydides17A @NotOpCue@CindyontheBay

https://twitter.com/TGonTheCouch/status/1895486590081777755

And then this from Ariel:

“Guess what a little birdie told me?

The real Epstein files over 12,000 pages, plus audio, video, and forensic data aren’t lost; they’re locked in a secure vault beneath the Jacob K. Javits Federal Building in Manhattan, controlled by a black hats faction within the FBI’s New York field office.

The unedited surveillance from Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion, Little St. James, and Zorro Ranch, capturing 47 high-profile figures in compromising acts with minors between 1998 and 2019.

Wiretapped calls from 2004–2017 linking Epstein to a Rothschild-funded trafficking hub in Zurich.

A ledger detailing $83 million in payments to silence victims, signed off by a sitting U.S. senator in 2016.

You didn’t hear this from me.”

🚨Emergency Update!!!!!!!

I was going to wait until Monday for this but things are developing rapidly so I must inform the public now in a series of tweets. Here is what’s happening:

On Tuesday (SOTU) a House staffer gained entry into one of the House office buildings that leads to the U.S. Capitol. That staffer was in possession of a gun. He was eventually caught and arrested. What makes the problem even worse I’m told the staffer asked (after his arrest) what the problem was with this as no one said anything to him about him bringing the gun in the previous day.

This is the fourth instance of a gun being brought in a building policed by USCP Chief J Thomas Manger since Trump was elected President. What is frightening to me is that both dates that President Trump attended events at the Capitol it was on a date where a gun made it in one of the buildings and I’m told one of the guns made it in a room where President Trump was actually in and only feet away from him.

This can’t happen!!! I’m still getting more information on this and I’ll have another tweet tomorrow.

@SCNationalGuard

To date, South Carolina National Guard aircraft have completed 768 water drops, delivering approximately 901,280 gallons of water over 98 flight hours. These numbers reflect end-of-day totals from yesterday, March 7. Per the South Carolina Forestry Commission: Through the continued hard work of firefighters, the fire size remains unchanged at 2,059 acres and is 55% contained. Low intensity fire continues to spread slowly through surface fuels inside the firebreaks, with occasional flare-ups when wind gusts occur. Today, crews will continue reinforcing firebreaks, mopping up, and suppressing hot spots as needed. (U.S. Army photos, March 8, Horry County, by Sgt. Elizabeth A.

Pope Francis’ rebuke of President Donald Trump’s deportation policies appears to conflict with his own past statements and the teachings outlined in the U.S. Catholic Catechism advise politicians to enact policies for the common good, but emphasize country’s right to regulate immigration. 

The Trump administration’s stated policy of mass deportations of illegal immigrants stirred backlash from Catholic authorities in the United States. The controversy came to a head when Pope Francis directly criticized the policy in a letter to U.S. Bishops, calling the plans a “major crisis.” 

His Holiness, who the Pew Research Center estimates is the spiritual leader for roughly 53 million Catholic U.S. adults, said that though countries have the right to defend their borders and keep citizens safe from criminals, “the act of deporting people who in many cases have left their own land for reasons of extreme poverty, insecurity, exploitation, persecution or serious deterioration of the environment, damages the dignity of many men and women, and of entire families, and places them in a state of particular vulnerability and defenselessness.”

DHS has begun performing polygraph tests on employees to find leakers

The Department of Homeland Security has begun performing polygraph tests on employees to determine who might be leaking information to the media about immigration operations, according to four sources familiar with the practice.

The department’s plans to perform these tests was first reported by Bloomberg Government.

A spokesperson for DHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Border czar Tom Homan and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem have blamed lower-than-expected ICE arrest numbers on recent leaks revealing the cities where it planned to conduct operations.

In a video posted on X Friday, Noem said, “We have identified two leakers of information here at the Department of Homeland Security who have been telling individuals about our operations and putting law enforcement lives in jeopardy. We plan to prosecute these two individuals and hold them accountable for what they’ve done.”

It was not clear if those two employees Noem referred to had been identified through a polygraph test. It’s also not clear how many employees have been polygraphed or may face polygraph tests, but sources said the employees asked to take the tests so far have been in different agencies across DHS.

Polygraphs at the department are not new and have been used in the past, such as when Customs and Border Protection is screening new hires. But according to the sources familiar with the current use of polygraphs, the so-called lie detector machines are now being used to ask employees across the agency specific questions about leaking classified documents or sensitive law enforcement information on ICE operations.

US ‘to cease all future military exercises in Europe’

The United States has told its allies that it does not plan to participate in military exercises in Europe, according to reports.

The move, the latest in Donald Trump’s pivot away from the bloc, would see America pull out of exercises beyond those already scheduled for this year.

The withdrawal concerns exercises that are on the “drawing board”, according to Swedish newspaper Expressen.

It means that Nato countries will be forced to plan exercises without the participation of the US military, the largest in the alliance.

Mr Trump has repeatedly criticised Nato countries for not meeting the current goal of spending two per cent of GDP on defence, arguing that the disparity puts an unfair burden on the United States.

On Friday, he warned that the US may not defend Nato allies who do not meet the spending target as part of a major shake-up of the alliance.

Mr Trump told reporters: “When I came to Nato, when I first had my first meeting, I noticed that people weren’t paying their bills at all, and I said I should wait till my second meeting.

“And I did. And I brought that up, and I said, ‘If you don’t pay your bills, we’re not going to participate. We’re not going to protect you.’

“And when I said that, as soon as they said that, it was amazing how the money came in, the money came in, and now they have money. But even now, it’s not enough. They should be paying more.”

It has also been reported that the Trump administration is redrawing Nato engagement in a way that favours member countries with higher defence spending.

The president is said to be considering prioritising military exercises with member countries that are spending the set percentage of GDP on their defence, officials told NBC.

“Nato has to pay more,” Mr Trump said in January after taking office. “It’s ridiculous because it affects them a lot more. We have an ocean in between.”

The Telegraph reported on Friday that Mr Trump is also considering pulling US troops out of Germany and redeploying them to Eastern Europe.

He is understood to be weighing up withdrawing some 35,000 active personnel and moving them to Hungary.

Meanwhile, as high-level talks in Saudi Arabia are due to start next week, Volodymyr Zelensky has said that Ukraine is “fully committed to constructive dialogue” with the US.

“Ukraine has been seeking peace from the very first second of this war. Realistic proposals are on the table,” the Ukrainian president said in a post to X.

Mr Zelensky said that he would visit Saudi Arabia for talks with the kingdom’s crown prince, but would not stay on for talks with representatives of the US government.

Ukraine has been put under unparalleled pressure by the US, which this week suspended military aid and intelligence sharing.

Mr Zelensky is still yet to meet Mr Trump since their disastrous White House meeting sparked a geopolitical crisis.

Mr Trump doubled down on his criticism of Mr Zelensky on Friday, saying it may be “easier” to work with Moscow than Kyiv on efforts to end the three-year war.

Trump Turnberry vandalised by pro-Palestinian group

A pro-Palestinian group has vandalised parts of Donald Trump's Turnberry golf resort in Scotland.

Palestine Action posted photographs on social media showing red paint daubed across one of the buildings at the Ayrshire course.

The words "Gaza is not for sale" are sprayed across one green and another green appears to have been dug up.

A further photograph shows a damaged lamp post at the resort owned by the Trump Organisation. A spokesperson said it was a "childish, criminal act".

Police Scotland confirmed it was investigating the incident.

President Trump caused widespread international criticism after repeatedly proposing to empty the Gaza strip of all Palestinians.

He proposed taking ownership of the Gaza Strip and redeveloping it, after saying earlier that Palestinians should move out of the region.

"The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too," Trump said during a joint conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last month.

Trump made the comments after meeting with the Israeli leader at the White House. Netanyahu responded, saying the idea is "worth paying attention to".

The US president has previously said neighbouring nations could take in displaced Palestinians from Gaza - a proposal that was rejected by Arab nations.

The president later posted an AI-generated video of what Gaza might look like under his proposals.

Turnberry is widely rated as one of the top five golf courses in the world.

It has hosted The Open Championship four times, including in 1977 when Tom Watson beat Jack Nicklaus in what famously became known as the "Duel In The Sun".

But it has not been included on the Open schedule since Trump bought the resort in 2014.

The Turnberry resort underwent a massive refurbishment after it was bought from a Dubai-based company in 2014.

It became the organisation's second golf resort in Scotland. Trump International Golf Links opened north of Aberdeen in 2012, after years of controversy.

Trump was moved to build a course in Scotland as a tribute to his later mother, who was born and brought up in Lewis.

The president has been a regular visitor to Scotland over the years and last month was invited to meet King Charles at Balmoral.

Palestine Action describes itself as a "direct action network dismantling British complicity with Israeli apartheid".

A statement from the group said: "Palestine Action rejects Donald Trump's treatment of Gaza as though it were his property to dispose of as he likes.

"To make that clear, we have shown him that his own property is not safe from acts of resistance. We will continue to take action against US-Israeli colonialism in the Palestinian homeland."

A spokesperson for Trump Turnberry said: "This was a childish, criminal act but the incredible team at Trump Turnberry will ensure it does not impact business.

"Turnberry is a national treasure and will continue to be the number one beacon of luxury and excellence in the world of golf."

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Around 04:40 on Saturday 8 March 2025 we received a report of damage to the golf course and a premises on Maidens Road, Turnberry."

The force said inquiries were ongoing.

China Hits Canada With Tariffs in Indirect Riposte to Trump

Beijing, which set steep duties on canola, peas and pork, wants Canada and Mexico to resist U.S. pressure to raise tariffs on Chinese goods.

China announced tariffs of up to 100 percent on canola, pork and other foods from Canada on Saturday, in retaliation for Canada’s decision last August to collect steep taxes on imports of Chinese electric vehicles, steel and aluminum.

The Chinese tariffs, which take effect on March 20, were also a clear warning to Canada — and, indirectly, Mexico — not to cooperate with the United States on trade. The Trump administration, like the Biden administration before it, has been demanding that Canada and Mexico not serve as back doors for low-cost Chinese goods to enter the U.S. market under North American free trade agreements.

China’s State Council Tariff Commission announced on Saturday that it would impose tariffs of 100 percent on canola oil and canola meal, which are among Canada’s largest exports to China, and on peas; and 25 percent on Canadian pork and seafood. The commission said the measures were in response to Canada’s 100 percent tariffs on electric cars from China and its 25 percent tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum, which took effect in October.

China’s Ministry of Commerce said in a separate statement that “China urges Canada to immediately correct its wrong practices, lift restrictive measures and eliminate adverse effects.”

The Canadian government had no immediate comment.

The Chinese agencies’ statements were carefully worded to comply with World Trade Organization rules and did not mention any effort to influence Canada or Mexico during their current trade discussions with the United States. But a commentary released by China’s state television left little doubt that a key goal for China is dissuading officials in Ottawa and Mexico City from acceding to American pressure for higher Canadian and Mexican tariffs on Chinese goods.

The Chinese tariffs are “a powerful countermeasure to Canada’s wrong choice, and a strong warning to some countries that intend to impose additional tariffs on China in exchange for the United States not to impose additional tariffs on them,” China Central Television said.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada announced tariffs on imports from China last year, partly to protect heavy government-supported investments by automakers in electric car factories in Canada. But there were also growing concerns and complaints from the Biden administration — recently echoed by the Trump administration — that Chinese goods were flooding into Canada.

Partly because of that influx from China, Canadian steel mills, aluminum producers and other manufacturers rely heavily on the American market for their sales, taking advantage of duty-free shipments. Canada and Mexico have both had steeply rising trade surpluses recently with the United States.

By imposing tariffs on Canada’s extensive shipments of canola and other agricultural products to China, Beijing’s leaders have sent a pointed reminder that China is also a large market.

10-Minute Challenge: A ‘Decisive Moment’ in Street Photography

Canada exported almost $1 billion worth of canola oil and canola meal, used in cooking and animal feed, to China last year. Canada’s exports to China of canola seed, worth even more last year, are the subject of a separate Chinese anti-dumping case that has not yet been resolved.

Canadian exports of canola, also known as rapeseed, to China surged last autumn as traders rushed to sell supplies to Chinese stockpiles before tariffs could take effect.

The Chinese government had said in late September that it would take up to a year to decide how to respond to the Canadian tariffs. It decided to act sooner after President Trump imposed 25 percent tariffs this week on imports from Canada and Mexico but then quickly suspended them for cars and many other goods.

China may have a little more trade leverage with Canada than with Mexico. For each dollar of Canadian or Mexican goods that China imports, China sells almost $3 of goods to Canada and almost $5 of goods to Mexico.

China’s exports to Mexico have doubled since 2019 as gasoline-powered Chinese cars in particular have rapidly increased their sales there at the expense of American and European manufacturers with factories in Mexico.

China’s action on Saturday is certain to reawaken unpleasant memories in Canada about a similar Chinese tariff on Canadian canola for two years starting in February 2019. China imposed that tariff after the Canadian authorities detained Meng Wanzhou, a top executive of the Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei, on a warrant from the United States.

China also imprisoned two Canadians then under harsh conditions, while Canada allowed Ms. Meng to live in a Vancouver mansion while awaiting a decision on her legal status. The United States, Canada and China eventually worked out a deal in which all three detainees were allowed to return to their home countries, but public opinion of China in Canada soured considerably during the dispute.

India Signals Readiness to Make Deeper Tariff Cuts, Trump Says

US President Donald Trump said India has signaled its readiness to make deeper tariff cuts, after he ramped up pressure on the country to lower trade barriers that he has said unfairly penalize American businesses.

“They’ve agreed — by the way, they want to cut their tariffs way down now,” Trump said, while delivering remarks on the US economy late on Friday. India charges “massive tariffs” that mean the US does “very little business inside,” he said.

India’s commerce ministry didn’t immediately respond to a request for a comment on the remarks outside of regular business hours.

Preserving India’s access to the US market is a priority for Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he seeks to shield his country from reciprocal duties Trump has indicated will take effect next month.

Trade between the two countries grew to $127 billion in 2023, making the US India’s largest trading partner and putting pressure on New Delhi to strike a deal. The two leaders have agreed to boost trade to $500 billion by 2030.

Modi’s government has already made numerous concessions to the Trump administration in recent weeks in a bid to smooth over relations. Among the efforts was a wide-ranging reduction in tariffs on products including high-end motorcycles and whiskey, and pledges to buy more US energy and weapons.

Indian officials have also discussed reducing duties on cars, some agricultural products, chemicals, critical pharmaceuticals, as well as certain medical devices and electronics, Bloomberg News reported last month.

Trump appoints Laura Ingraham and Maria Bartiromo to Kennedy Center board

President Donald Trump announced on Friday night that he had added Fox News hosts Maria Bartiromo and Laura Ingraham to the board of trustees at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

The announcement came weeks after Trump fired much of the venue’s board and appointed himself chair.

In a post from his Truth Social account, Trump said Bartiromo and Ingraham would be the last people appointed to the center’s board of trustees.

“I am thrilled to announce that Laura Ingraham and Maria Bartiromo will be joining our Kennedy Center Board – This completes our selection,” Trump wrote. “We look forward to restoring the Center to Greatness, and ushering in America’s Golden Age. Together, we will Make the Arts Great Again!”

Other members appointed since Trump took over the Kennedy Center include Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s wife, Allison Lutnick and Vice President JD Vance’s wife, Usha Vance.

Bartiromo, Ingraham, Lutnick, and Vance join a board of trustees that includes Attorney General Pam Bondi and Trump allies Elaine Chao, Dan Scavino, and Susie Wiles.

Longtime Trump ally Richard Grenell currently serves as the president of the Kennedy Center.

Bartiromo and Ingraham join the Kennedy Center’s board of trustees a day after Jeffrey Seller, the producer of the musical Hamilton, announced the show would not return with Trump at the helm.

Seller said the Kennedy Center was launched “with a sincere bipartisan spirit” and added:

However, in recent weeks we have sadly seen decades of Kennedy Center neutrality be destroyed. The recent purge by the Trump Administration of both professional staff and performing arts events at or originally produced by the Kennedy Center flies in the face of everything this national cultural center represents. This spirit of nonpartisanship ended on February 7, 2025, with the firing of Kennedy Center President Deborah Rutter, the Chairman of the Board David Rubenstein, and numerous other Kennedy Center board members, as well as the cancellation of important programming.

These actions bring a new spirit of partisanship to the national treasure that is the Kennedy Center. Given these recent actions, our show simply cannot, in good conscience, participate and be a part of this new culture that is being imposed on the Kennedy Center. Therefore, we have cancelled the third engagement of Hamilton at the Kennedy Center, originally scheduled for March 3-April 26, 2026.

Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib picked as US ambassador to Kuwait by President Trump

HAMTRAMCK, Mich. (WXYZ) — Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib has been selected to be the U.S. ambassador to Kuwait, President Donald Trump announced on Friday.

Ghalib endorsed Trump’s presidential campaign in September. The two met in person in September during one of Trump’s campaign visits to Michigan.

Ghalib, an immigrant from Yemen, became the city’s first Muslim mayor when he was elected in 2021. While in office, the city made headlines banning pride flags from being flown on city property, which is something that didn't sit well with some liberal voters in the city.

The city of Hamtramck is known for its large immigrant population. Hamtramck is reportedly the first Muslim-majority city in the United States and also made headlines as the first city with an all-Muslim city council.

Ghalib has been a vocal critic of Israel over its war in Gaza, and the Hamtramck City Council had passed a resolution to divest from Israel and to not support companies associated with the country.

Ghalib also joined a group of fellow Democrats who signed a letter in February 2024 vowing to vote uncommitted during the primary. After expressing frustration with the Biden and Harris administration, Ghalib said he believed Trump could help reach a ceasefire.

Trump released a statement about Ghalib’s nomination:

I am pleased to announce that Amer Ghalib will be the next United States Ambassador to Kuwait. As the Mayor of the City of Hamtramck, Michigan, Amer worked hard to help us secure a Historic Victory in Michigan. Amer earned his M.D. from the Ross University School of Medicine, and continues to serve his community as a proud healthcare professional. I know he will make our Country proud in this new role. Congratulations Amer!

ActBlue, the Democratic Fund-Raising Powerhouse, Faces Internal Chaos

At least seven senior officials have left the group, setting off deep concerns about its future as it confronts scrutiny from congressional Republicans.

ActBlue, the online fund-raising organization that powers Democratic candidates, has plunged into turmoil, with at least seven senior officials resigning late last month and a remaining lawyer suggesting he faced internal retaliation.

The departures from ActBlue, which helps raise money for Democrats running for office at all levels of government, come as the group is under investigation by congressional Republicans. They have advanced legislation that some Democrats warn could be used to debilitate what is the party’s leading fund-raising operation.

The exodus has set off deep concerns about ActBlue’s future. Last week, two unions representing the group’s workers sent a blistering letter to ActBlue’s board of directors that listed the seven officials who had left. The letter described an “alarming pattern” of departures that was “eroding our confidence in the stability of the organization.”

What prompted so many longtime ActBlue officials to leave is not clear — none of the former officials agreed to be interviewed on the record.

“Like many organizations, as we undergo some transition heading into this new election cycle, we are focused on ensuring we have a strong team in place,” said Megan Hughes, an ActBlue spokeswoman. “We greatly appreciate the contributions of our incredible team members and remain deeply committed to the success of our organization and our mission to enable grass-roots supporters to make their voices heard.”

According to the letter from the ActBlue unions, which has not been previously reported and was confirmed as authentic by three people briefed on its contents, the senior staff departures began on Feb. 21. That day, ActBlue’s customer service and partnerships directors, who had both worked at the group for more than a decade, left, according to the unions’ letter.

“Now, my primary mission is rest,” Alyssa Twomey, ActBlue’s departing vice president for customer service, wrote on social media. “After 14+ years of living and breathing all things ActBlue, it’s time for a reset. I’m taking an intentional pause before setting course for my next adventure.”

The next week, several other senior officials left, including the associate general counsel — who was the highest-ranking legal officer at ActBlue — the assistant research director, a human resources official, the chief revenue officer and an engineer who had spent 16 years building and maintaining the electronic pipes through which the group’s donations flow.

As these people left, Zain Ahmad, who was the last remaining lawyer in the ActBlue general counsel’s office, wrote in an internal Slack message on Feb. 26 that his access to email and other internal platforms had been cut off and that other messages he had posted in Slack had been deleted, according to a screenshot obtained by The New York Times. Mr. Ahmad is now on leave from ActBlue, according to a person briefed on the group’s staffing.

“Please be advised that we have Anti-Retaliation and Whistleblower Policies for a reason,” Mr. Ahmad wrote.

The unions’ letter to the ActBlue board called Mr. Ahmad’s assertions on ActBlue’s Slack platform “unsettling and disturbing, and part of a growing pattern of volatility and toxicity stemming from current leadership.”

Mr. Ahmad did not respond to text messages and phone calls.

The unions asked the board to hire an outside counsel to take “investigatory actions to better understand the current state of the organization and evaluate if our C.E.O. is doing her job in an appropriate, competent and responsible manner.”

ActBlue’s chief executive, Regina Wallace-Jones, did not respond to requests for comment. Ms. Hughes, the spokeswoman for the group, did not comment on Mr. Ahmad’s claims of retaliation or the staff unions’ concern.

If ActBlue were to become severely diminished, Democrats running for offices at all levels of government could face setbacks in their efforts to raise cash. Candidates for offices ranging from school boards and city councils to the presidency rely on the platform for their online fund-raising, while Republicans have spent years trying to catch up.

And while there are some alternative platforms, none have the scale or the reach of ActBlue.

Democrats have for years credited ActBlue with giving them an edge over Republicans by creating a universal and trusted platform for donating. ActBlue, which is based in Somerville, Mass., says it has raised more than $16 billion for Democratic candidates and causes since its founding in 2004.

In recent weeks, congressional Republicans have demanded answers from ActBlue about its security and fraud-prevention measures, as well as how the group prevents certain foreign donors from illegally contributing to candidates. The letter from the ActBlue unions warned that the group was “under increasing scrutiny” and “the target of bad-faith political attacks at the hands of ill-intentioned operators.”

On Feb. 6, ActBlue responded to Republican congressional inquiries with a three-page letter, sent from the law firm Covington & Burling, to “provide an update regarding ActBlue’s security, fraud prevention measures and related procedures.”

Some Democrats fear that Republicans, who now control Congress and the White House, will seek to shut down ActBlue. These Democrats worry that the scrutiny of the fund-raising platform is just an opening salvo in a larger campaign to dismantle and destabilize the broader Democratic infrastructure.

Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, last month threatened to make another company that owns key Democratic and progressive tech infrastructure, Bonterra, the target of his first subpoena as chairman of the Commerce Committee. But he said on Wednesday that the company had made a good-faith effort to comply with his document requests.

At the same time, relations between ActBlue and some major Democratic campaigns and committees have been rocky in recent years. In 2023, President Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s re-election campaign engaged in tense negotiations about the rates that ActBlue would charge to use its platform before an agreement was reached, according to two people involved in the discussions.

The letter from the ActBlue unions expressed particular worry about the departures of staff members who are experts on legal and compliance issues.

“Those of us who work with our legal team in our day-to-day do not have clear direction on how to proceed with our work in their absence,” the unions wrote to the ActBlue board.

62,530 job cuts reported across 17 federal agencies, plus 75,000 feds who accepted buyouts

The federal government experienced the largest downturn in jobs last month since the summer of 2022, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data released Friday.

An estimated 10,000 jobs in the federal workforce were lost in February, marking the largest amount of federal government jobs lost since June 2022, according to Federal Reserve Economic Data. The report comes amid President Donald Trump’s ongoing efforts to uproot government waste and reduce unnecessary spending across the federal government, which has resulted in massive layoffs across several government agencies.

“The recent decline in federal employment aligns with the Trump Administration’s objectives to both reduce government expenditure and enhance efficiency,” Peter Earle, a senior economist at the American Institute for Economic Research, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been the tip of the spear in that regard implementing significant workforce reductions across various federal agencies. To date, approximately 62,530 job cuts have been reported across 17 federal agencies, reflecting efforts to streamline operations and eliminate redundancies. There are a handful of other factors in the recent slump in employment, including uncommonly bad weather in January and February, but most of the decline we’re seeing at the Federal level is DOGE at work.”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt praised Trump’s economy in a Friday post on X, writing that America’s economy is “soaring back to greatness.”

“In one month under President Trump, the American economy is soaring back to greatness after the economic calamity left by Joe Biden,” Leavitt wrote in the social media post. “The manufacturing industry is already rebounding as there were 9,000 new auto jobs created — the most auto jobs added in 15 months! Under President Trump, the private sector is leading the way — 93% of the job gains in February were in the private sector. This is great news for American workers and families. The Trump Administration will continue to work hard to implement pro-growth policies and push Congress to enact the Trump Economic Agenda.”

Trump established the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), spearheaded by Elon Musk, shortly after returning to office. The agency was created to cut spending across federal government agencies. While some Americans largely approve of DOGE’s attempts to cut out federal government waste, many Democrats have been attempting to push back against the department’s efforts.

The federal government had the highest number of planned job cuts in February, with 62,242 announced job cuts across 17 different agencies, according to a Thursday report from U.S.-based outplacement firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas.

Former President Joe Biden presided over a massive surge in federal government employment during his sole term. Notably, employing government workers is often much more expensive than employing private sector workers.

“Under President Biden’s tenure, federal government employment experienced modest growth, mostly responding to the COVID-19 pandemic,” Earle told the DCNF. “Despite that moderate growth in the headcount, spending by federal agencies surged beyond inflation rates (mostly due to emergency programs and ramped up subsidies). A good example of what occurred throughout the government under Biden is what happened at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). That entity actually saw a 13 percent decrease in employees but a 469 percent increase in spending. Musk & DOGE would not have had a hard time finding official bloat ten or twenty years ago, but today it’s a target rich environment.”

Moreover, a large amount of the job growth seen under the Biden-Harris administration went toward foreign-born workers.

“President Trump and Elon Musk’s efforts to cut federal government waste are already bearing fruit, with 10,000 wasteful federal government positions eliminated last month,” Job Creators Network CEO Alfredo Ortiz wrote in a Friday press release. “Quasi-government jobs in social assistance that provide little-to-no economic benefit grew at about half the rate as under the Biden administration. Stripping out these unproductive government and quasi-government jobs, the private-sector economy, led by small businesses, showed another solid month of hiring, with real wages significantly increasing.”

Three US soldiers (all of Chinese descent) from Pacific NW accused of sharing classified military information with China

Three U.S. Army soldiers are accused of sharing top secret national defense material and other sensitive military information with a Chinese national and other unidentified buyers in China, according to unsealed court records.

Jian Zhao and Li Tian, both active-duty soldiers stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington, and Ruoyu Duan, a former soldier from the base who lives in Hillsboro, were arrested Thursday on indictments out of Oregon and Washington.

Zhao, a sergeant, is charged in federal court in Tacoma with conspiracy to obtain and transmit national defense information, bribery of a public official and theft of government property.

Tian and Duan are charged in federal court in Portland with conspiring to commit bribery and theft of government property.

Zhao received payments totaling $15,000 in exchange for gathering electronic media, documents and other military information and sharing it with an unidentified conspirator, according to court documents.

Zhao used internet-based encryption to communicate with his contact in China, offer prices for the classified material and ask his contact to find other buyers, a federal affidavit alleges.

Among the information Zhao shared concerned the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, known as HIMARS and used on the battlefield in Ukraine, and documents related to U.S. military readiness in the event of a conflict with China, according to court papers.

Zhao sold an encrypted military hard drive and 20 classified hard drives to co-conspirators operating on behalf of China, according to Oregon Assistant U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Barrow. He also is accused of selling an encrypted military computer, Barrow wrote in a detention memo.

“Hard to find. If you can guarantee both of our safety while making some money for both of us, sell it,” Zhao wrote to his accomplice, according to Barrow.

According to the indictment unsealed in Oregon, Tian secretly gathered information related to Army operations, including technical manuals and other sensitive material about the missions and capabilities of the Bradley and Stryker Army fighting vehicles, and then shared them with Duan in exchange for money.

The alleged conspiracy between Tian and Duan occurred from Nov. 28, 2021, through Dec. 19, 2024, investigators said.

Tian was an active-duty first lieutenant stationed at the Washington base as a health services administrator, according to his indictment.

Duan was an active soldier from 2013 to 2017.

Tian is accused of entering restricted military installations and removing non-public, sensitive Army photos and documents, his indictment says.

Duan received money from financial accounts based in China and then paid Tian for the material, the FBI alleges. Tian accepted payments from Duan totaling at least $500 on March 29, 2023, their indictment says.

Duan paid another unidentified accomplice about $3,200 for military information from June 7, 2023, to Nov. 24, 2023, according to the court documents.

Tian sent Duan classified military information via his personal and Army emails, using links to Google drives, according to their indictment.

The two also communicated via Facebook Messenger, sometimes using code language to make it appear that they were talking about tuition and class materials, according to the indictment.

In a Feb. 24, 2023, exchange, Duan wrote on the social messaging platform, “I see that nothing happened after you said you’d ask the chief. Don’t worry if it can’t be done. I can find materials on wiki or reddit. ... The main thing is not to get in trouble. It is not easy to get to this point in the army.”

Tian responded, “Downloaded. Don’t be anxious. I’m out and will send it to you when I get back,” according to the indictment.

A short time later, Tian added, “I’ve obtained the system permissions and can now download the pdf,” the indictment said.

By mid-October 2023, another unidentified conspirator introduced himself to Tian as a friend of Duan’s via WeChat and wrote, “Boss Duan says you have things to sell. Mind telling what you have,” according to the indictment.

Video surveillance cameras at the Army base in Washington also caught Tian taking photos of documents on his computer screen in his office on several days in May 2024 and taking and walking away with documents marked “SECRET,” the indictment alleges.

Other conspirators who aren’t named in the court documents sent packages of military information on classified hard drives to suspected buyers in China in exchange for thousands of dollars in payment, investigators allege.

Much of the communications to arrange the deliveries were done via WeChat, with one person informing another that he had “good stuff” and to “spread the news ... It’s Brigade Level,” according to court documents. “Very sensitive document. Super difficult to get.”

“This needs some time. This is way top (we) must be very careful,” another responded on the chat.

In another chat in October 2024, one person offered a copy of an unidentified 42-page document for “2.5K,” according to an indictment.

On the WeChat communications obtained by investigators, one person urged others to download the Signal messaging device, saying that was the “safest ... this feels very risky.”

FBI agents from the Portland office and Washington state were involved in the investigation.

The three men were arrested Thursday and search warrants were executed at their homes, according to prosecutors.

Zhao and Tian made their initial appearances in federal court in Tacoma, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Duan, 39, was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center at 3:11 p.m. on a federal marshal’s hold.

Investigators said they suspect Zhao has access to a warehouse but haven’t been able to find it.

“It is unconscionable that a person who wears the uniform of a U.S. Army soldier would betray our country and the trust of his fellow soldiers,” W. Mike Herrington, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Seattle office, said in a statement.

“These arrests should send a message to would-be spies that we and our partners have the will and the ability to find you, track you down, and hold you to account,” Herrington said. “Protecting the nation’s secrets, especially those necessary to preserve our military advantage and protect our troops, is one of the FBI’s top priorities.”

U.S. Attorney General Pamela J. Bondi promised “swift, severe and comprehensive justice.”

“The defendants arrested today are accused of betraying our country, actively working to weaken America’s defense capabilities and empowering our adversaries in China,” Bondi said in a statement.

Douglas A. Olson, the special agent in charge of the FBI Portland office, said, “As a former member of the U.S. Army, Ruoyu Duan betrayed the oath of military service he had once taken.”

“The actions by this former soldier and his co-conspirators caused significant risk and damage to U.S. National Security and violated the oath they took as military members to protect the American people,” Olson said.

Budget watchdogs conclude economic growth won't pay for majority of proposed GOP tax cuts

The CRFB said economic growth predicted from the tax package that could reduce revenue from $5 trillion to $11 trillion will not pay for tax cut extensions.

Budget watchdogs have come to the conclusion that economic growth won't pay for the vast majority of the proposed Republican tax cut package. The package, which is being crafted using the budget reconciliation process, has not yet been passed by Congress.

"The latest estimates from third-party modelers confirm what we’ve said several times before: economic growth will not pay for tax cut extensions," read a statement from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.

"New estimates from the Tax Foundation and Tax Policy Center (TPC) show that extending the portions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) that either have expired, are phasing down, or will expire at the end of 2025 will not produce nearly enough economic growth to offset their revenue loss," the CRFB added. The TCJA was signed into law by then-President Biden in December of 2017.

The CRFB found the Tax Foundation’s estimate to be "the most optimistic." According to their analysis, "dynamic" economic gains are projected to offset up to 16% of conventional revenue losses from the tax rate reductions or tax benefits expected to be included in the GOP tax bill.

Outside the business cycle and the war cycle, both of which cannot be beaten and for which investors can only prepare by analysing market data untainted by political propaganda, those who have dedicated enough time to studying how to adapt to and navigate the business cycle understand that the best way to benefit from it is not only by tracking the evolution of the three key ratios driving it (the stock market-to-oil ratio, the gold-to-bond ratio, and the stock market-to-gold ratio) but also by following the money, i.e., capital flows.

If the last general election taught us anything, it is that the public does not like political parties that engage in constant infighting.

The never-ending civil war that came to define the last Conservative government resulted in the loveless, though large, Labour majority that Britain is saddled with today. I’m acutely aware of this, which is why Reform UK has devoted so much time and effort since July to building a unified national party machine.

Now, thanks to one of our MPs, Rupert Lowe, unloading a barrage of criticisms against our operations and its main actors, that sense of unity has been dented.

The truth is that Mr Lowe has made some excellent interventions over the past eight months and helped to stimulate public debate on a range of pressing issues facing the country.

What many people may not have realised, however, is that in that time he has also managed to fall out with all his parliamentary colleagues in one way or another. We did our best to keep a lid on things but, in the end, containment strategies invariably fail.

One clear example of the type of difficulty that I have in mind occurred in the chamber of the House of Commons just as Parliament was about to enter the Christmas recess.

It was the last parliamentary debate of the year. Mr Lowe, who represents Great Yarmouth, asked Mike Kane, the transport minister, a question about the MV Ruby, a damaged cargo ship which had docked in his constituency while carrying hundreds of tonnes of the potentially explosive fertiliser ammonium nitrate.

Mr Lowe was unhappy with the answer that he received from Mr Kane and, at the end of the debate, he crossed the floor to make his feelings known.

A confrontation ensued. Heated language was heard. The minister’s shoulder was pushed. In the end, the Serjeant at Arms had to step in to calm things down between the two parliamentarians. Commenting on Mr Lowe’s conduct later, Mr Kane told GB News that “the anger displayed towards me clearly showed a man not in charge of his own faculties”. Nobody in Reform UK said anything publicly about what had happened. Instead, we carried on.

Yet the fact is that, sadly, there have been too many similar outbursts from Mr Lowe, often involving the use of inappropriate language, to the despair of our chief whip, Lee Anderson. I have been surprised and saddened at this behaviour. Certainly, I never saw anything like it in the European Parliament in 2019 when I was the leader of the Brexit Party and Mr Lowe was an MEP colleague.

Last week, the chairman of Reform UK, Zia Yusuf, showed me two letters sent by female members of staff to our party headquarters. Each letter contained an accusation of workplace bullying involving Mr Lowe. One of the incidents in question is alleged to have taken place within the parliamentary estate.

As a responsible political party, Reform UK has a duty of care to every single member of staff, whether they are employed by us directly or indirectly. With that in mind, I believe that our chairman was entirely right for Reform to appoint a KC to conduct an independent inquiry. It is inconceivable that we could simply ignore such allegations.

Whether this turn of events prompted Mr Lowe to use a newspaper interview this week to launch a political attack against me, I cannot say. All I do know is that Mr Yusuf was presented with complaints which he could not simply disregard. That is not the way of Reform UK.

But let’s pretend for a minute that Mr Yusuf had turned a blind eye to what the letters allege. Can anybody imagine what sort of a storm Reform UK would be facing now if it transpired that this unfortunate situation had been dealt with by trying to play it down or, worse, sweep it under the carpet?

I am certain that to have done nothing would have been considerably worse for everybody concerned: the two women who claim they are the victims of workplace bullying; Mr Lowe; Mr Yusuf in his capacity as party chairman; and the reputation of Reform UK. Trust is the cornerstone of politics, after all.

For now, we must wait and see what findings the parliamentary authorities reach. We must also wait to hear what the KC who has been tasked with looking into these matters has to say.

Until we know more, I must return to the crucial job of getting 1,500 vetted Reform UK candidates out into the field for the local and mayoral elections on 1 May. It is essential that they stand for public office with a united team foursquare behind them.

If Britain is to thrive, we must rid the country of this socialist government. That is why I believe that Reform UK matters more now than it has ever done before. That is why it is so important that our party – and every single one of its representatives – behaves responsibly at all times. Nothing less will do.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has come under fire for her open refusal to arrest anyone involved in the drug trade, a stance that many critics argue will only exacerbate the city's ongoing opioid crisis. Wu's controversial position, which prioritizes leniency over law enforcement, has raised concerns regarding public safety and the rule of law. While she claims the policy is part of a broader approach to addressing addiction, opponents contend it sends the wrong message and undermines efforts to combat the escalating drug problem in Boston.

This warning followed a previous report Tarik Johnson posted on X on Friday.

Tarik Johnson: Breaking News

Message to USCP Chief J Thomas Manger:

Here we go again. Today, I just received the information of what occurred on Tuesday, March 4th on the day President Trump addressed the nation from the United States Capitol.You clearly are going to try to conceal it from the public as much as you can but you must understand it will not be possible for you to conceal anything as long as I am breathing.

With that said, you have until 12 pm Monday morning to fully brief the American public of what occurred on Tuesday. If you do not I will and in the future you will not be offered advance notice of these reports. There is no doubt in my mind that you are arguably the most corrupt politician in the history of our country, but after what I heard today you are taking your treachery to an all time height.

You have to know I'm getting this information from people who work for you. Why do you think that is? It's because they don't want your treacherous stink on them and they are praying that one day soon you will step down.

Lastly, you still have not provided any explanation to the inaugural event in January(please see below). We are still waiting for that as well.

Tarik K Johnson

Former Lieutenant US Capitol Police

Just a week ago, Tarik Johnson fired off a letter to United States Capitol Police (USCP) Chief J Thomas Manger alleging yet another lapse in security for President Trump.

What is going on with the USCP?

Do not forget that this is the same police force that fired sound grenades, gas cannisters, and rubber bullets on a peaceful crowd of Trump supporters on January 6, 2021.

And,these are the same police officers that viciously beat Trump supporters on January 6th for sport.

Something is terribly wrong with the US Capitol Police! This organization needs an overhaul QUICK.They are putting President Trump's life in danger!

Kiev invokes God in threat against Crimean Bridge

Moscow has responded with a proverb and another religious reference

Ukraine is planning a third strike on Russia’s Crimean Bridge, Ukrainian Navy Chief Aleksey Neizhpapa told The Guardian in an interview published on Saturday.

The bridge, which was completed in 2020, serves as a vital link between the Crimean Peninsula in the Black Sea and mainland Russia. Since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022, Kiev has repeatedly attempted to damage or destroy it, justifying its actions by claiming that the structure has strategic military value for Moscow. While Ukraine has launched several attacks, the bridge has sustained damage only twice, with both incidents resulting in civilian casualties.

Neizhpapa insisted that the previous strikes were successful, causing damage to the bridge’s road and rail structures and limiting Russia’s ability to transport heavy military equipment.The vice admiral expressed confidence that a third attack will render the bridge inoperable, invoking the Slavic saying, ‘God loves a trinity’, meaning: ‘third time’s the charm’.

“The Russians understand we are actively discussing a third operation,” he claimed.

Moscow was quick to respond,countering Neizhpapa’s religious reference with one of its own.

“With this attitude toward religion, the Orthodox Church of Ukraine will soon acquire his relics,”Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

Leonid Ivlev, a Russian State Duma MP representing Crimea, dismissed the threat with aRussian proverb: “The hen hasn’t laid eggs yet, but she’s already clucking” – which is similar in meaning to ‘all bark and no bite’. He also warned Kiev against celebrating prematurely.

“I do not advise this aggressive hen from the banks of the Dnieper River to try to divide the skin until the bear is dead,” he said, meaning: ‘don’t count your chickens before they hatch’.

Another Crimean lawmaker, Yury Nesterenko, described the Navy chief’s remarks as the “mortal agony” of the Kiev regime.

“It’s yet another attempt to distract Ukrainian citizens from their country’s mounting problems and the dire situation of its armed forces at the front,” he told RIA Novosti.He also claimed that threats like this are often made ahead of Crimea’s tourist season in an attempt to instill fear.

Ukraine continues to claim sovereignty over Crimea despite the fact that the region overwhelmingly voted to join Russia in a referendum in 2014 following a US-backed coup in Kiev.Since then, Ukrainian officials have repeatedly called for the bridge to be destroyed. In 2016, Kiev initiated proceedings at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, arguing that Russia built the bridge illegally. Moscow has dismissed the claims as “absurd,”insisting that it had full legal authority to build the bridge to resolve economic and humanitarian issues caused by Ukraine’s blockade of the peninsula.

US pushing to soften anti-Russia language in G7 document – Bloomberg

Washington reportedly wants to “water down” the wording of the final communique

The US has been pushing to soften the language aimed at Russia= in the final communique of the upcoming G7 foreign ministers’ meeting, Bloomberg has reported, citing a draft of the joint statement and people familiar with the matter.

The Group of Seven, comprising Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and US,will meet next week in the Canadian city of Charlevoix.

According to the report published on Saturday, the administration of US President Donald Trump is pushing to strengthen the language on China while “watering down” the wording on Russia. The US wants to remove the word ‘sanctions’ from the final statement and replace the wording about Russia’s ability to “maintain its war” with “earn revenue,” Bloomberg said.

=The US has reportedly rejected Canada’s proposal to establish a task force that would monitor the so-called ‘shadow fleet’ of oil tankers the West claims Russia is operating to bypass sanctions on energy exports. During the final weeks of the previous administration of President Joe Biden, the US blacklisted more than 180 vessels allegedly used to illegally transport Russian oil. Moscow insists that all Western sanctions are illegal and has denied that it operates a shadow fleet.

Trump has abandoned his predecessor’s strategy of “isolating” Russia on the world stageand reopened direct talks with Russia, which were suspended in 2022. He has stressed that his priority is to end the conflict through diplomacy and reach a ceasefire between Moscow and Kiev.

Last week, Trump suggested that the US could lift the sanctions “at some point” during peace talks. He has since threatened Moscow with a new round of “large-scale” sanctions until a ceasefire and a “final settlement agreement on peace” is reached.

Moscow has stated that the Western sanctions have failed to weaken or isolate Russia, instead harming the countries that imposed them.

https://www.rt.com/news/613922-us-pushes-to-soften-language/

I’ve got an idea, invite Russia into NATO and then the US can be relieved of US NATO protection the countries. Russia is closer. Plus it will fulfill the promise of many prior Presidents. Problem solved forever. Then Europe cannot make them the boogeyman.

Musk calls for sanctions on Ukrainian oligarchs

The billionaire has said that such a step could compel Kiev to start the peace process

Elon Musk has suggested thatsanctioning Ukraine’s top ten oligarchs could bring about a swift resolution to the conflict with Russia. He offered the unusual proposal in a post on X on Saturday.

Musk, who leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), was responding to a discussion on US financial aid to Ukraine. He has frequently criticized US support for Kiev, while in general advocating reducing federal spending on foreign assistance.

“Place sanctions on the top 10 Ukrainian oligarchs,especially the ones with mansions in Monaco, and this will stop immediately. That is the key to the puzzle,” Musk wrote in response to a post by Senator Mike Lee, who called for the US to halt financial aid to Kiev. Musk did not elaborate on how exactly such a move would impact the conflict.

According to the news outlet Ukrainian Focus, as of September 2024, topping the list of the country’s wealthiest people was Rinat Akhmetov, owner of industrial conglomerate SCM Group. He was followed by Interpipe Group owner Viktor Pinchuk, former President Petro Poroshenko, Dneprazot owner Igor Kolomoisky, and Ferrexpo owner Konstantin Zhevago.

Most of the above-listed individuals have contributed to Kiev’s war effort. Poroshenko and Pinchuk are known to have supplied the Ukrainian army with drones and other equipment, while Akhmetov is behind a project that provides the military ammunition, transport, medical equipment and drones. He has reportedly spent the equivalent of some $274 million on the war effort in the past three years.

Musk’s suggestion sparked mixed reactions online. Some users questioned whether sanctioning Ukraine’s business elite would actually pressure Kiev to negotiate, noting that Ukraine mostly relies on Western funding. Others pointed out that just last month Kiev itself sanctioned several prominent businessmen, including Poroshenko, Kolomoisky, and Zhevago, which suggests a rift between them and the regime. While no reasons were given for the sanctions, Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky had called for “blocking billions that were earned by essentially selling out Ukraine, Ukrainian interests, Ukrainian security” just a day before the sanctions announcement.

Musk’s remarks came amid a growing rift between Kiev and Washington following Zelensky’s recent trip to Washington during which a meeting he had with US President Donald Trump at the White House turned heated and the planned signing of a minerals deal was put on hold. Shortly thereafter, the US suspended military aid and intelligence-sharing with Ukraine.

According to The Washington Post,Ukrainian officials, including Zelensky, now fear Trump may impose sanctions on Ukrainefollowing the Ukrainian leader’s recent ill-fated trip.

“All politicians in this country were discussing potential sanctions from the US side… A lot of people were very nervous, and the president was very nervous=,” an unnamed official told the newspaper. He added that Washington couldimpose sanctions by linking individuals in Zelensky’s inner circle to corruption, which would weaken Ukraine’s war effort and jeopardize its EU backing. The official did not specify whether Ukrainian oligarchs would be targeted.

US-supplied German jets at risk of Trump ‘kill switch’ – Bild

Washington could potentially disable Berlin’s F-35 fighters, the report warns

German policymakers are growing increasingly concerned over the possibilitythat the US could remotely disable F-35 fighter jets being delivered to Berlinin the event of a crisis, mirroring its recent decision to freeze intelligence and military support to Ukraine, Bild reported on Saturday.

The German Air Force is set to receive 35 American-made F-35A Lightning II jets starting in 2026 as part of an €8.3 billion ($9 billion) deal. However, some German policymakers fear that US President Donald Trump, who has been at odds with the EU over a number of issues, could use a ‘kill switch’ to ground the aircraft if Washington and European capitals diverge in their approach to a potential conflict with Russia, the article said.

”The ‘kill switch’ in the F-35 is more than just a rumor,”Joachim Schranzhofer, the head of communications at German defense company Hensoldt, told Bild. “But it’s much easier to use the mission planning system – then the plane stays on the ground.”

Wolfgang Ischinger, the former president of the Munich Security Conference Foundation, questioned the fate of the contract. “If we have to fear that the US could do with future German F-35s what they are currently doing with Ukraine, we could consider terminating the contract,” he said, as quoted by the tabloid.

Similar fears about a kill switch on American jets were echoed by experts interviewed by the Financial Times.Defense analyst Richard Aboulafia remarked that while the existence of a kill switch has never been confirmed, “If you postulate the existence of something that can be done with a little bit of software code, it exists.”

Others, meanwhile, suggested that a kill switch would essentially be redundant due to the sophistication of modern fighter jets and dependence on the vendor. “Most European militaries depend heavily on the US for communications support, for electronic warfare support, and for ammunition resupply in any serious conflict,” Justin Bronk, a senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, told the FT.

The concerns about F-35s surfaced after the US froze military and intelligence support for Kievfollowing a spat between Trump and Vladimir Zelensky, during which the US president accused the Ukrainian leader of not wanting peace with Russia.

The F-35 program has been described as the most expensive military project in history, with total projected costs exceeding $1.7 trillion over its lifetime. Since the first F-35 made its maiden flight in 2006, the program has been plagued by cost overruns, delays, and reliability issues. So far, more than 1,100 have been produced, with many supplied to US allies.

https://www.rt.com/news/613935-f35-germany-jets-kill-switch-trump/

(This is a gossip and rumor, Trump would not do that to Allies, if other events happened in the region they would not be able to defend themselves. This is just to smear Trump. Or maybe it’s just to get Germany and others out of delaying peace with Russia and Ukraine. But he would still not disengage their jets.)

Starlink not allowed in South Africa ‘because I’m not black’ – Musk

The close adviser to US President Donald Trump has gotten into a spat with Pretoria on X

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has claimed that his Starlink satellite internet service cannot operate in South Africa because he is “not black.

South African officials fired back, insisting that the issue has nothing to do with Musk’s race.

Musk, who was born in Pretoria but mainly resides in the US, made the comments on Friday in reaction to a podcast featuring South African businessman Rob Hersov. In a snippet shared online, claimed that “race-based laws in South Africa are all anti-white,” and argued that the country hasbeen “infected… with an evil woke mind virus.”

“Starlink is not allowed to operate in South Africa, because I’m not black,” Musk wrote on X.

South African diplomatic spokesman Clayson Monyela rejected Musk’s claims. “Sir, that’s NOT true and you know it! It’s got nothing to do with your skin color,” Monyela wrote on X. He added thatStarlink is welcome to operate in South Africa “provided there’s compliance with local laws.”

South African laws designed to address racial inequalities left over from the Apartheid eramandate that foreign telecommunications firms be at least 30% owned by “persons from historically disadvantaged groups.” Starlink, a subsidiary of Musk’s SpaceX, does not sell its shares publicly. (Sounds like DEI by the leaders there)

Last year, Starlink’s parent company wrote a letter to South African telecommunications regulator ICASA,describing the 30% shareholding requirement as a “significant barrier” to investment.

Last month, US President Donald Trump threatened to cut off aid to South Africa. He accused the country of cozying up with Iran and condemned its lawsuit in the International Court of Justice, which alleged that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza.Trump also argued that South Africa’s land reform violates human rights.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has denied that his government tolerates human rights abuses. “We will not be bullied,” he said in a speech in February. Ramaphosa met with Musk last month, discussing the “issues of misinformation and distortions about South Africa,” according to the president’s office.

The South African government says the controversial Expropriation Act is aimed at remedying disparities in the country, wherewhite farmers still own the majority of land, despite whites comprising around 7% of the population. (Their families have been there for generations.)

The government hasset a target of transferring 30% of farmland to black farmers by 2030.(Do the black farmers know how to farm and manage it. I think it’s mostly the governments steal the money and don’t help the people.)

Thousands protest in Paris against Macron’s defense policies (VIDEO)

French PM Franсois Bayrou recently dismissed the idea of consulting the public on key defense decisions

Thousands of protesters marched through Paris on Saturday to oppose what they see as French President Emmanuel Macron’s militaristic approach to foreign policy and his lack of interest in achieving peace in the Ukraine conflict.

The demonstration was organized by Florian Philippot and his party, The Patriots. Chanting slogans andcarrying signs such as “We don’t want to die for Ukraine,” and “Macron, we don’t want your war,” the crowd moved from the Place du Palais Royal to the Place Pierre Laroque.

Macron on Wednesday proposed expanding France’s nuclear deterrent to protect EU nations and urged European members of NATO to take more responsibility for their own defense. He cited uncertainty over Washington’s commitment to Ukraine, especially as relations between Kiev and US President Donald Trump’s administration experienced a setback after Vladimir Zelensky rejected calls to negotiate peace with Russia.

Macronhas argued that continued aid to Ukraine was crucial, warning thatif Russian President Vladimir Putin succeeded in Ukraine, he wouldn’t stop there– a claim that Moscow has repeatedly dismissed as nonsense. Russia has identified NATO’s expansion toward its borders and the US-led bloc’s promise of eventual membership for Ukraine as being among the key reasons for the conflict. (If that was true other countries and US would join them, France and UK are making up a boogeyman.)

Many demonstrators at the Paris rallycriticized Macronfor prioritizing military matters over domestic issues. “When you declare war, it’s to erase all the other failures,” one protester said. Another accused Macron of pursuing conflict while leaders such as Trump and Putin are talking about peace.

Addressing the crowd, Philippot condemned Macron’s approach, declaring thatthe president “absolutely does not want peace.” Philippot, formerly a member of the National Front, has been a vocal critic of Macron’s administration and EU’s policies. His party opposes what it perceives as unnecessary military interventions and advocates for a more independent French foreign policy.

Macron’s push for increased defense spending faces hurdles as France grapples with a budget deficit and pressure to rein in spending. Approval of the 2025 budget has been delayed due to a divided parliament. In January, Budget Minister Amelie de Montchalin announced plansto cut €32 billion ($34.6 billion) in public spending while raising taxes by €21 billion.

Critics argue that these measures would burden middle-class families, small business owners, and retirees already struggling with rising costs. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Francois Bayrou has rejected calls for public consultation on major defense policies, insisting such decisions are the government’s responsibility. When asked on Friday whether the French people should have a say in increased military spending and a shift toward a “war economy,” Bayrou was firm: “The government’s responsibility is to say, no, we can’t let the country be disarmed. It’s vital.”(which is not even possible)
