So Much Winning: Hyundai Latest Company In A Long Line To Announce Billion Dollar Investments In U.S.TYLER DURDEN MAR 24, 2025

Hyundai Motor Co. plans to invest $20 billion in the U.S., a move President Trump will highlight during a White House event with Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, according to Bloomberg.

A portion of the investment will fund a new steel mill in Louisiana, expected to employ 1,500 workers and supply Hyundai and Kia's American EV production. The announcement comes amid growing trade tensions, with Trump set to roll out reciprocal tariffs on April 2 targeting countries he deems unfair to U.S. trade interests.

Hyundai’s decision mirrors a broader trend of foreign companies increasing U.S. production to avoid Trump’s escalating tariff threats.

The Bloomberg article notes that the president has already imposed 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum and has hinted at new levies on sectors like autos, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals. South Korea, labeled a trade abuser by Trump, may be among the nations targeted, though officials have yet to release a final list.

Trump’s aggressive tariff agenda has injected uncertainty into global markets and rattled domestic industries, particularly autos and steel. While domestic steelmakers may see short-term gains, analysts warn that high borrowing costs, inflation, and weakening demand could dampen the benefits.

Meanwhile,Trump has offered temporary relief to automakers on tariffsfrom Mexico and Canada, underlining his broader goal to localize supply chains and reduce reliance on foreign imports.

Recall, in recent days, the Trump team is racking up victories related to bringing investment back to the United States.Among them, Rolls-Royce also announced it was going to be ramping up production in the U.S., Yahoo Finance/The Telegraph reported.

The company, which employs 6,000 people across 11 American sites,is expediting a review that could lead to hiring more U.S. workers and expanding North American operationsto avoid the brunt of rising protectionism.

Insiders say the firm is "tipping the balance" toward the U.S., aligning—perhaps reluctantly—with Trump’s push to revive American manufacturing through aggressive trade policies.

Meanwhile, the UAE has pledged toinvest $1.4 trillion in the U.S.over the next decade, following a meeting between President Trump and an Emirati official, Forbes reported.

The deal, which includes funding for AI, semiconductors, andU.S. manufacturing, marks a major expansionof existing ties and followsEmirati billionaire Hussain Sajwani’s earlier $20 billion commitmentto U.S. data centers.

Norm Eisen accidentally told the truth that Judge Juan Merchan was part of his Bragg lawfare team. It didn’t take him long to figure out that he messed up.

I previously posted that Norm appeared to say that he was writing documents for the judge.

If true, that means Norm created the Bragg case, he worked with the witness Michael Cohen, and he worked with the judge.

Seems illegal to me.

"A few years ago, I spoke at the American Bar Association Antitrust Section, and observed the rage the gathered corporate lawyers felt towards anti-monopolists for barging into their club. While I noted at the time the legal elements of the disagreement, there’s a political element as well. These lawyers are the Democratic establishment, the real thinkers and operatives behind the frontmen like Democratic minority leader Chuck Schumer and candidates like Kamala Harris and Barack Obama. And it’s been this way for decades, such that it’s systematized. Young ambitious liberals have to get their few years at one of these firms and then they can be considered a real lawyer.

A key firm in this network is Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, a multi-billion dollar entity that is so politically connected its New York office served as the unofficial campaign headquarters for Kamala Harris’ campaign. Democratic House leader Hakeem Jeffries worked as an associate at Paul Weiss for six years (and has a donor network there), former Obama cabinet members Jeh Johnson and Loretta Lynch are partners, and so is Chuck Schumer’s brother. Sonya Sotomayor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Elana Kagan were summer associates. At times Paul Weiss’ political connections were comical. In late 2024, a firm partner, Karen Dunn, both prepped Harris for her debate with Trump the very same day as she opened up for Google in its adtech antitrust case against the Biden administration …"

Thoughts?

https://cdm.press/news/national/2025/03/24/three-unresolved-issues-from-latest-kennedy-file-dump/

1) Why did Lee Harvey Oswald attempt to kill former Major General Edwin Walker?

Walker had resigned, not retired over a disagreement with Kennedy. Walker was in some ways the model for the right wing Generals in “Seven Days in May”. My view is that Walker was looked at by the KGB as one of the possible leaders of a coup to take over the U.S. and launch a nuclear attack on the Soviet Union.

2) What Role did the book, “Seven Days in May” play in the Assassination?

The 1962 novel describe a right wing takeover of the U.S. Government in order to launch a nuclear attack on the Soviet Union. There were many parallels with real life events. The KGB felt the book was a CIA message and veiled threat toward them. Did the book inspire the KGB to use Lee Harvey against Walker and then Kennedy? Was the book a CIA Mockingbird Program message?

3) What was Lee Harvey doing in Mexico City in September and October 1963 trying to contact Kostikov, a KGB Assassin?

Sniper teams are normally made up of two to three persons, did Kostikov and potentially others converge on Dallas to take the shots at Kennedy and set Lee Harvey up?

Trump administration requests Supreme Court halt order from judge to rehire federal workers

The agencies that were impacted by the mass layoffs include the departments of Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Defense, Energy, the Interior and the Treasury.

The Trump administration filed an emergency appeal Monday to the Supreme Court asking it to halt a recent lower court ruling to rehire some federal workers laid off at federal agencies.

The administration said that the ruling should be put on hold because the judge didn't have authority to order 16,000 probationary employees be re-hired, according to The Associated Press.

The order was from U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco.

The agencies at which the layoffs occurred were departments of Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Defense, Energy, Interior and Treasury.

USAID In Egypt Had Me Detained For Walking In And Asking If It’s Following Trump’s Orders

Author Larry Taunton profile

Larry Taunton

For some years now, I have been tracking globalist initiatives at both ends: at the point where the ideological rounds are chambered and downrange where they affect the lives of millions as public policies. This has taken me from places like Davos, Switzerland, where the World Economic Forum meets annually, to cartel towns in Colombia where illegal aliens board Zodiacs bound for the Darién Gap and thousands of them simply disappear.

I’ve also been tracking how USAID, the United States Agency for International Development, via a series of NGOs, has been running what amounts to a massive human trafficking operation across South America, through Central America, and straight up through our borders. President Trump is working to hold accountable those responsible, but there is so much more to the global workings of this clandestine government agency.

A Visit to the USAID in Egypt

I recently traveled from Davos to the ancient city on the Nile. With USAID’s nefarious activities dominating the news, I decided to visit its Cairo office to see how it was responding to Trump’s recent order slashing USAID activities.

To call USAID Egypt an office is misleading. It is a military-style compound.

USAID Cairo aerial view

My Egyptian driver, Mohamed, and I approached the boom gate where security guards stood in a small guardhouse of the type you see all over the world. They raised the gate arm and waved us through. (I’ve found that the key to entering government buildings, much like the World Economic Forum, is simply to walk in as if I own the place. More often than you might think, security just steps aside.)

Mohamed zigzagged the Mercedes van through the suicide bomber barriers, we parked, and I told him to wait while I went inside to chat with USAID personnel. There was no USAID signage I could see. The facility was a fortress with high block walls topped with metal spikes and cameras. I walked the perimeter of the compound looking for the entrance, taking video as I went.

Finding it, I walked casually past the security guard and entered, snapping a picture of the USAID signage within. Here another security guard greeted me, asked if I had an appointment, and requested my identification. I said no and gave him my driver’s license. He looked at it briefly and handed it back.

“What is your business?”

I was, I said, investigating the activities of USAID and, since I was in Cairo, wondered what they did here and how they were responding to President Trump’s executive order.

Cairo USAID signage

Nervous eyes darted. The security guard whispered, “I don’t think I should talk to you.”

I told him he probably shouldn’t then — at least not here on camera. Perhaps he or one of his colleagues would like to speak to me away from the office?

“I should call my supervisor.”

It seems USAID security was trained for every contingency except that of an American citizen showing up at an American government agency — an agency, mind you, that is supposed to be something like the governmental equivalent of Samaritan’s Purse — and asking mundane questions.

One of the two receptionists invited me to sit down to prevent me from overhearing the phone conversation. As the security guard spoke quietly and nervously on the phone, a host of people came and went through the foyer. Whatever they were doing here, shut down they were not.

security guard talks on the phone at USAID

Hanging up, the security guard asked for my identification again. I told him he’d seen it once and that was enough. Things went downhill from there. Intuition told me they wanted to detain me, so I promptly left the building, returned to the van, and Mohamed and I departed.

At this point I should say I am a seasoned traveler. I’ve been in roughly 70 countries, all over the Middle East and some of the most dangerous parts of Africa, South America, and Central America. Born on a military base and raised on others, I am more than a little familiar with military security, war zones, and even NATO installations housing nuclear weapons. So in case there were any further attempts to detain me, I posted the story on X, where it went viral.

>USAID In Egypt Had Me Detained For Walking In And Asking If It’s Following Trump’s Orders

A Second Visit

A week later, I returned. This time I was in a Mercedes sedan and had no intention of entering the compound. I just wanted to drive by to confirm a couple of impressions. Security, recognizing me, came out from beyond the boom gate, stopped the vehicle, and ordered my driver and me to get out.

As an Egyptian national, Mohamed (wisely) did as he was told. I didn’t move.

“Mohamed,” I said, “throw me under the bus. You are merely my driver, and I, your American client, told you to drive me here, got it?” All of this was true. He nodded and shut the door.

“You were taking video!” a security guard said accusingly. True — but of nothing that wasn’t on Google Earth.

Demands for my passport and phone followed, and I declined. For the uninitiated, your phone is your connection to the free world, and surrendering your passport means you cannot leave the country. Secret police in the Third World seize these as a preliminary move to arrest. Once in their possession, they can arrest you at their leisure. In the meantime, you sweat. It’s one of the oldest and most effective means of terrorizing foreigners.

“You might be a terrorist,” one said.

“You think I’m a terrorist? Really? I am an American writer, and my tax dollars pay your salary.”

“That is true, but —,” he said no more.

One of the security guards smirked and quickly turned away. There was a kind of quiet acknowledgment that the terrorism accusation was ridiculous even if it would give them carte blanche to do with me as they wished — which was nothing good.

I would, I said, allow them to see my passport at a distance to confirm my identity, something they already knew. They again demanded that I exit the car and surrender my phone and passport. Some of them were visibly armed, but so far, no weapon had been unholstered.

“No.”

An intense two-and-a-half-hour standoff followed.

Seeing that it was futile to try to get me out of the car and walk willingly into the USAID compound, they told Mohamed to drive me the 30 or so meters past the gate. I told him he would do no such thing, and he instead opted to smoke a cigarette at a safe distance.

It’s important to understand that these were Egyptian security guards employed by USAID. Rent-a-cops. They had no authority outside the facility. They were on the phone with someone inside USAID who was giving direction.

This isn’t my first encounter of this kind, and there is a pattern to these things that is the same the world over: The older, more senior the officials with whom you are dealing, the darker your prospects become. The social media savvy young guns typically Google you, see you’ve been on American television, assume you are famous, and ask for a selfie. But if you start getting bumped up the food chain by the Russian FSB or China’s Ministry of State Security, you’re just a few short steps from a gulag.

In this case, things escalated quickly. Whoever was calling the shots inside USAID called Cairo police and, close on their heels, the NSA, Egypt’s infamous secret police. The National Security Agency — sometimes referred to as, ironically, Homeland Security — is the successor to the brutal SSIS: State Security Investigations Service, Egypt’s equivalent of the KGB. Indeed, NSA agents were trained by them, and, just as the KGB reemerged in the post-Soviet era as the FSB, the SSIS likewise simply rebranded after the Arab Spring of 2011 toppled Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Secret police in totalitarian regimes are a kind of brotherhood who operate outside the law.

From the outset of the NSA agents’ arrival, one guy was aggressive, trying, I think, to provoke an altercation. My passport and phone were once again an issue, and I again refused to hand them over. As I held my phone tightly, he pushed it to my face to unlock it, but that was pointless. For this reason, I have never activated iPhone’s facial recognition feature, and I had no intention of giving him the old-fashioned code to unlock it.

When he left to consider next moves, I called the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. The man answering the call was unhelpful.

“Have they arrested you?” he asked.

“No.”

“Just drive away.”

This was a very American answer to a very un-American situation. Egyptian authorities had already indicated they would fire on the vehicle if we attempted to leave. I hung up, my circumstances as bleak as ever.

Throughout all of this, I was surreptitiously videoing whatever I could. With the NSA man huddling up with the security personnel increasingly surrounding the car, I began firing off the videos one by one to my colleague Laurence Fox and others.

>>22814956

It's not a first amendment issue. It's alude conductissue.

This judge is clearly retarded and needs to be promptly removed from the bench.

>>22814960

>>22814965

Cellular reception in the Third World is iffy at best, but Mohamed had, at the last minute, equipped the car with Wi-Fi. Silently, I prayed: Send! Send! Send! Sooner or later, they would inspect my phone. Hurriedly, I went into my photos app and deleted the offending videos and photos. Fox and others had them now. Just in case whoever inspected the phone was tech-smart, I went to “recently deleted” and trashed them permanently.

I had three cards to play, none an infallible protection. The first was mystery. They had no idea what I had or had not seen or to whom I had or had not communicated it. The second was the fact that I was a U.S. citizen — a thin bulwark but real. Had I been, say, a Nigerian or an Egyptian, I wouldn’t have made it this far. All passports are not equal. And, finally, I was forcing the issue: I wouldn’t move until they charged me with a crime or let me go. This carried risks, but the alternatives were no better.

Where USAID security had used the claim that I was a terrorist to hold me, the NSA men, older and smarter, never indulged this fantasy. They knew I was an author and freelance columnist who possessed no weapons, and not since Stonewall Jackson have Presbyterians made a habit of blowing things up.

This accusation was quickly dropped in favor of another: espionage.

I freely admitted it to the NSA man: “Yes, I am spying. On my government, not yours” — a cheeky reply but one that clearly caused some consternation.

“Do you have an Egyptian government permit to take photos of Egyptian government buildings?” he asked.

“No.” He briefly looked triumphant. “But I’m not taking photos of Egyptian government buildings. That,” I pointed in the direction of USAID, “is an American government building, and I am an American.”

Annoyed, he left again, pacing on the phone. They clearly did not know how to proceed, and while being charged with espionage is a terrifying prospect, I knew it was problematic for them because it would be a tacit admission that there was more than pallets of rice and canned goods behind the high spiked walls of USAID in Egypt.

Mohamed got back into the Mercedes and locked the doors.

“You know,” I said to him, “the worst part of this might be the fact that I have to pee.”

“Me too!”

He departed for another cigarette and then came back. The NSA, as if to be conciliatory, had given him an offer to relay to me: “They want you to enter the compound and go into their office and sign an ‘incident report.’”

We exchanged knowing looks.

“Is it in Arabic?”

“I don’t know. I will ask.”

“If it’s in English,” I said, “I’ll read it. But I’m not entering the USAID compound. They can bring it to me here.”

He went to speak to them and returned. “They say you must enter their office and review it there. It is in Arabic, and they will not let me translate for you. Only you can go.”

My reply was indelicate. Mohamed concurred: “Yes, I do not think you would come back.”

The NSA man once again stood at the passenger side door of the sedan to again demand my phone. “You can’t have it. But I will let you look through my photos and videos while I hold it.”

He waved over a not-so-plainclothed Cairo policeman, their tech guy, who looked exactly like Freddie Mercury in a leather jacket and aviators.

I held the phone while he examined the photos — of family, pyramids, feluccas, Tutankhamun artifacts, and other typically touristy stuff. He paused briefly on a Nile cruise belly dancer — this Freddie Mercury wasn’t gay — and then, just as I thought he might, he scrolled down to “recently deleted” for a final inspection. He turned to the NSA man and indicated there was nothing.

Shortly thereafter, the NSA man received a call from, I am reliably informed, “someone in a very high position,” and Freddie Mercury was sent over to my window: “USAID is closed today, and there is no one here. We are sorry, but you cannot visit today. Have a good day.”

Just like that, we were released.

But it wasn’t over. The next day, the secret police showed up at the car service asking questions about me. Truthfully informed that I had left the country, they proceeded to interrogate Mohamed about my activities: Where did he go? With whom did he associate? What did he tell you? In the end, the NSA rightly concluded that he was merely my driver, nothing more. The Mercedes was then thoroughly searched. Exactly what they were hoping to find is unclear.

What to Make of This

Safely out of the country, there are several takeaways from this incident. The first is that this is how an intelligence agency behaves, not a benevolence arm of the United States. USAID security guards had been embarrassed by my previous visit where I had breached their security, not by force but with their assistance. This was, for them, a kind of payback. But neither Cairo police nor the NSA had any interest in that. Indeed, they treated USAID security contemptuously.

The second is that I was, I think, dealing with three governments: the authentic U.S. government represented by the naïve fellow who took my call at the U.S. Embassy, the Egyptian government represented by Cairo police and the state security apparatus, and the shadow government represented by whoever it was inside USAID that had the NSA on speed dial. President Trump doesn’t yet have all his own people in place, and the deep state, as real as any branch of government, is deeply embedded. Nowhere is that truer than in the corrupt USAID.

The third is the desperate attempts to get me to enter the USAID compound. One had the feeling they were trying, to quote Fox, to “Jamal Khashoggi” me. Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist, entered a Saudi consulate in Istanbul of his own accord and was there murdered by his own government.

Finally, this was a monumentally stupid response. Had the USAID office, on my first visit, simply said something like, “Yeah, President Trump is slashing the USAID, and we are in the process of closing shop,” there would be no story here. But the fearful, reactionary response smells of corruption. This was the Streisand effect, initiating calls from high in our government to ask: What the hell is going on at USAID in Egypt?

I will leave that question unanswered. But with war in Gaza, Trump’s plan to resettle Palestinians, and mounting evidence that USAID has been funding not only the invasion of the United States by illegal aliens but the very demise of our republic and even terrorism, the destruction of this rogue agency cannot come soon enough.

How a Major Democratic Law Firm Ended Up Bowing to Trump

By Michael S. SchmidtMatthew GoldsteinJessica Silver-Greenberg and Ben Protess March 21, 2025

Paul Weiss was targeted by an executive order from President Trump. Its chairman, who had worked against Mr. Trump during his first term, then went to the Oval Office and cut a deal. (At the top of the most powerful law firms in DC, Paul Weiss was the most murderous, evil Lawyer that started all the hoaxs and persecutions.)

Brad S. Karp, the chairman of Paul Weiss, led efforts against some of President Trump’s first-term policies. His decision this week to make a deal with Mr. Trump left many in the legal world, including some in his own firm, reeling.

(NYTs is horrified, they corroborated with this and other law firms. They are freaking out where they are going to get the "articles into the future)

Since President Trump’s first term, Brad S. Karp, the chairman of the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, championed himself as a bulwark against what he saw as an unlawful and unpredictable presidency.

Mr. Karp, who has a long history of fund-raising for Democrats, sought tounite major law firms in “a call to arms” to fight Mr. Trump in courton issues like his administration’s policy of separating migrant children from their parents. He publicly said lawyers were obligated to defend the rule of law.

He hosted a “Lawyers for Biden” fund-raiser in 2023, and one of his top partners prepared Vice President Kamala Harris for her debates with Mr. Trump.

A version of this article appears in print on March 23, 2025, Section A, Page 1 of the New York edition with the headline: How a Law Firm Decided to Fold Instead of Fight.

See more on: Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison, Donald Trump, U.S. Politics, Mark F Pomerantz

Trump took down the Head Honchos of all Head Honchos in DC law firms. Weiss and Karp bossed around all the other law firms.

This is the shortest article the NYTs has ever produced.

In Memoriam

The Man Behind Reagan’s ‘Evil Empire’: Tony Dolan, RIP

The former Reagan speechwriter and Pulitzer Prize winner brought a devout Roman Catholicism, an abundance of wit, and a wealth of insight to his work, which helped shape our country.

was saddened last week to learn of the unexpected death of Tony Dolan, who passed away at age 76. Tony was the chief speechwriter to President Ronald Reagan in a “speechwriting shop” (as he called it) that included a terrifically talented group: Peggy Noonan, Peter Robinson, Ken Khachigian, Clark Judge, Josh Gilder, Mari Maseng Will, Dana Rohrabacher, Landon Parvin, and (among others) Aram Bakshian, who wrote for us at The American Spectator from 1972 until his death in September 2022. There was also the unassuming Ben Elliott, a humble and remarkable man who at times shared “chief speechwriter” duties with Dolan.

I think it was one of the best presidential speechwriting teams in American history. And its faithful leader for eight years, hired by President Reagan at age 32 and serving the entirety of the administration — reportedly the only White House senior-staff member to serve all eight years — was Anthony Dolan.

USAID programs in Egypt

USAID programs in EgyptFor more than four decades, the collaboration between the U.S. and Egypt has thrived, thanks to the dedicated efforts of the USAID.Since 1978, USAID has made a substantial investment of more than $30 billion in Egypt, focusing on crucial sectors such as education, health, economic development and governance. With the poverty rate in Egypt standing at 29.7% across its population, USAID is doing everything it can to support the overall growth of the country. The tangible impact of USAID programs in Egypt is evident in the positive transformations across Egyptian society, reaching women, minorities, and the broader population.

Education for Empowerment

Education stands at the core of USAID’s commitment to Egypt’s future. More than half of students in Egypt do not even meet the lowest benchmarks when it comes to international test assessments. However, the agency has significantly enhanced reading abilities in early grades, creating a foundation for lifelong learning. With a specific focus on STEM education, USAID has established schools and degree programs to equip students with the skills needed for a rapidly evolving job market. By fostering critical thinking over rote memorization, USAID is not only contributing to Egypt’s economic growth but is also preparing a skilled workforce for the challenges of the 21st century.

A noteworthy initiative in this regard is the USAID Egyptian Pioneers program which was established in November 2022, for which USAID has awarded the American University in Cairo $86 million. This nine-year cooperative agreement aims to provide scholarships and training to Egyptian students, emphasizing sectors critical to “Egypt’s economic growth, including women’s empowerment, health, digitization…” The program seeks to build a more inclusive and capable workforce, addressing the needs of young, low-income Egyptians and empowering them with market-relevant knowledge and skills.

Economic Growth and Prosperity

With its investment, USAID has facilitated the expansion of telecommunications networks and enhanced water and wastewater facilities, benefitting more than 25 million people. By supporting the private sector, USAID has created jobs, stimulated entrepreneurship and strengthened enterprises, contributing significantly to the realization of Egypt’s Vision 2030.

To support Egyptian university students in launching successful careers, USAID, alongside the Egyptian government and private companies, is setting up 30 career centers at 22 public universities. These centers will offer internships, training and other career development programs. USAID has also organized three virtual career fairs, connecting students with employers and generating nearly 20,000 job opportunities.

Additionally, USAID is partnering with Google to provide 500 students with professional certificates. In workforce development, USAID is enhancing technical education to meet industry needs, resulting in thousands of jobs and internships. It is implementing the “3R” strategy with 30 companies to recruit, retrain, and retain workers.

Agricultural Transformation

Recognizing the vital role of agriculture in the Egyptian economy, USAID has invested $1.4 billion in the sector since 1978. These investments have not only increased agricultural export revenue by 1,500% but have also empowered small-scale farmers. Through innovative technologies, training and market-oriented strategies, USAID has elevated the entire agriculture value chain, ensuring that farmers meet international standards and gain confidence in their products.

muh libraries

how many do you think have Gender Queer in them?

For four decades, the American people through USAID have helped to improve the quality of life for Egyptians through nationwide programs in health, education, governance, and economic development.Our program in Egypt, totaling nearly $30 billion since 1975, has directly and fundamentally supported concrete achievements that have improved the lives of and futures of Egyptians.

We have helped to eliminate polio and significantly reduce infant and maternal mortality rates.There are libraries in all 39,000 public schools in Egypt due to USAID support,and we are working to ensure that all children learn to read in the first grade. We improved and expanded telecommunications networks, which was critical to Egypt’s ability to increase trade and investment. In greater Cairo, we supported the reduction of lead levels in the air by more than 65 percent. We helped to decentralize the water and sanitation sector and have improved water and wastewater facilities in Greater Cairo, the North Coast, and Upper Egypt that benefit 27 million people. Conservation work at some 70 sites throughout the country has included groundwater lowering at the Giza Plateau, protecting the Sphinx and other internationally and historically significant cultural treasures. Further, over the past three years, we have added 40,000 new jobs to the market.

USAID programs are designed in coordination with Egyptians to create sustainable prosperity. Programs seek to improve agricultural and water productivity and enhance livelihoods in rural zones where poverty and lack of jobs, especially for youth and women, are issues. USAID helps to ensure that future generations will have the tools to succeed and provides opportunities for Egypt’s large youth population as it enters higher education and the workforce. We seek to enhance the contributions of civil society as a whole – with a focus on women and youth – to build institutions and to achieve political and economic reforms.

poplar name for a speech given by Teddy Roosevelt

(Theodore Roosevelt delivered the speech entitled “Citizenship in a Republic” in Paris on April 23, 1910.)

The Man in the Arena

… It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. Shame on the man of cultivated taste who permits refinement to develop into fastidiousness that unfits him for doing the rough work of a workaday world. Among the free peoples who govern themselves there is but a small field of usefulness open for the men of cloistered life who shrink from contact with their fellows. …

Tanslation: They're afraid they won't get trillions in bailouts as they're accustomed to. Biden recently gave them 2.5 trillion in currency swaps to save Europe from total collapse. What's a currency swap? Giving a nation one US dollar for one of another nations currency, even if it takes 50 of their currency to equal ONE dollar. It's a money printer for them. This too is inflationary for them and us…
