Look how countries are destroyed!

By Paul Craig Roberts

Virginia, formerly a proud and distinguished state, is the home of many of the founding fathers of the United States–George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, George Mason–has fallen into the hands of people ashamed of Virginia’s proud heritage.

The state of Virginia was destroyed by the influx of lobbyists and federal government bureaucrats who serve every interest except the public’s. There have been many victims, including Virginia’s integrity. In 2021 during the Biden regime, the statue of Robert E Lee, in Richmond, the capital of Virginia, was taken down. With the stature went Virginia’s history.

Virginia’s newly elected governor Abigail Spanberger has appointed as Virginia’s secretary of public safety and homeland security, the FBI agent, Stanley Meador, who authorized the notorious memo that targeted “radical- traditional Catholics.” Meador epitomizes the lack of integrity in the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and now he is in charge of public safety in Virginia.

Over the past month, 153,074 jobs have been cut in the US, particularly in the technology sector and warehousing (data from Challenger, Gray & Christmas).

The layoffs are linked to the decline in the US economy, reduced spending, and rising costs, which are forcing companies to cut back.

US employers have announced their lowest hiring plans since 2011. Recently, the Target chain of stores announced plans to cut 1,800 jobs, which is about 8% of its total workforce. This is the first major staff reduction at the company in many years.

Amazon, in turn, will cut 14,000 jobs. Paramount Skydance has also laid off 1,000 employees. Other companies, such as Starbucks, Delta Air Lines, CarMax, Rivian Automotive, and Molson Coors Beverage, have also announced corporate job cuts.

United Parcel Service reported a reduction of 34,000 operational staff.

The layoffs are explained by the effect of the introduction of artificial intelligence, but this is far from always being the case.

The Great German Energy Fail: A Cautionary Tale for the World!

Germany, which for decades has generously invested hundreds of billions in green energy, suddenly discovered that it lacks the most basic resource—electricity. And this is not a minor glitch, but a systemic collapse that is now being held up as an example to the whole world of how not to do things.

The story of Jerome Evans, founder of Firstcolo, who was planning to expand his data centers in Frankfurt. The response from the power grid company sounded like a bad joke: connecting the new capacity would take “at least ten years.”

Evans' conclusion is brutally simple: “No rational CEO would locate energy-intensive production in Germany.” It is a path to losing competitiveness and jobs.

More than half of Germans believe they cannot freely express their views

According to a study by Tenor, 57% of Germans believe that it is better to “be cautious” at the moment. At the same time, among supporters of the right-wing Alternative for Germany party, as many as 89% of respondents feel constrained when it comes to expressing their opinions.

Europe is close to commit financial self-immolation

Italy’s decision to stand with Belgium against the confiscation of Russian sovereign assets is not a diplomatic footnote. It is a moment of clarity breaking through the fog of performative morality that has engulfed Brussels.

Strip away the slogans and the truth is unavoidable: the seizure of Russian sovereign reserves will not change the course of the war in Ukraine by a single inch.

This is not about funding Ukraine, it is about whether sovereign property still exists in a Western financial system that has quietly replaced law with cult-like obedience.

That is why panic has entered the room.

The European Commission wants to pretend this is a clever workaround, a one-off, an emergency measure wrapped in legal contortions and moral posturing masquerading as hysteria. But finance does not function on intentions, rage, or narratives. It functions on precedent, trust, and enforceability. And once that trust is broken, it does not return.

Christmas gloom: Britons afraid to spend money amid economic turmoil

▪️ Against the backdrop of economic turmoil over the past five years, British households have sharply reduced their financial spending, putting money aside “for a rainy day,” according to Bloomberg

▪️ Consumer spending is vital to economic growth, accounting for about 60% of national output, but it has remained low for three years, dealing a blow to the economy.

▪️ In addition, growth in household spending plays a key role in providing the tax revenues needed to implement the Treasury's budget plans

▪️ Households have been hit hard by the pandemic and the ensuing energy crisis amid anti-Russian sanctions, which have caused the cost of living to rise, resulting in inflation exceeding 11% at the end of 2022 and mortgage rates rising, Bloomberg points out.

Outrage after German state extends state of emergency a 7th time using emergency Covid-19 funds

The German state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt apparently thinks Covid-19 is still in full force, using the pandemic to declare a state of emergency for the seventh time. Criticism is now pouring in from the Green Party, AfD, BSW, and FDP, writes Apollo News.

At issue are the powers such a measure allows the state government, namely, allowing it to take on more debt and circumvent the debt brake. In doing so, Saxony-Anhalt can spend up to €790 million from its special coronavirus fund.

The only problem is that this money is meant to promote pandemic resilience and to fund the digitalization and renovation of hospitals. So where is it going instead?

It is no secret that the state is facing a budget crisis, scrambling even last year to plug various gaps. The head of the state audit office, Kay Barthel, says “there was no objective justification” for the extended emergency.

The state was allocated a special Covid-19 fund of approximately €2 billion. By October of this year, more than half of this amount had been spent. Repayment of state debt is scheduled to begin in 2029 with installments of €100 million.

Saxony-Anhalt is the only German state that has repeatedly extended its pandemic emergency declaration, with other states last declaring it in 2024.

An employee of the Élysée Palace stole porcelain from the French president's residence over a period of two years

The 40-year-old employee, who was responsible for serving and keeping track of tableware, stole about 100 plates, cups, and other porcelain items used for state dinners and official receptions. He falsified inventory documents to conceal his actions.

The stolen items were resold by the maître d'hôtel to a porcelain collector who lives in Versailles and works at the Louvre. The court ordered the men to return the property and placed them under judicial supervision.

Sen. Tuberville: ‘islamists’ are ‘here to conquer’

After the Bondi Beach attack in Australia, as well as reports that the Brown University killer screamed “Allahu akbar” as he opened fire, and the ISIS murder of two American servicemen in Syria, and the Muslim student at the University of Delaware who plotted a jihad massacre of campus police, and all the rest, the nation is paying more attention to Islamic jihad in recent days than it has in quite some time, and Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), for one, has had quite enough.

Tuberville wrote Sunday: “Islam is not a religion. It's a cult. Islamists aren't here to assimilate. They're here to conquer. Stop worrying about offending the pearl clutchers. We've got to SEND THEM HOME NOW or we'll become the United Caliphate of America.”

This was guaranteed, as Tuberville might put it, to offend the pearl-clutchers, and indeed, there was great clutching of pearls throughout our fair land. Sen. Ed Markey (D-Pack the Court) fired back: “These are hateful lies. Islamophobia has no place in our society. MAGA Republicans should stop spewing the kind of hate that divides us and foments violence.”

California State Senator Scott Wiener (D-Depravity) wrote in the same vein: “It’s unwise to respond to every dumb a** bigoted thing people say on the internet, but when a United States senator — albeit the dumbest United States senator — calls for denaturalization & deportation of an entire religion, you have to call it out as the evil it is.”

JD Vance: In America, you don’t have to apologize for being white

Vice President JD Vance absolutely stole the show at AmFest this weekend.
And, one moment from his speech in particular is taking the internet by storm.

While delivering remarks, Vance declared victory over the left’s racist DEI policies, bluntly stating that now, in America, “you don’t have to apologize for being White anymore.”

Under the Trump administration, people are no longer persecuted or denied opportunities based on race or gender, as was the case with Biden.
His speech at AmFest was perhaps the most powerful and brilliant one he’s ever given.

'Pure madness': victims of transgender ideology speak out about the hate they've faced

It's bad enough that girls are forced to endure the presence of men in their locker rooms and on their athletic fields, now they must face hate and ridicule in their schools and communities when they object.

That's evidenced by the testimony of a couple of girls who have experienced situations in which men invaded their private areas as female athletes.

This is pure madness.

Forcing young teens to change with grown men. Telling young girls they are responsible for the lives of troubled boys.

Trump: we need Greenland!

“We need Greenland for national security. Not for minerals, we have so many sites for minerals and oil,” Trump explained.

“We have more oil than any other country in the world. We need Greenland for national security. And if you take a look at Greenland, you look up and down the coast, you have Russian and Chinese ships all over the place,” Trump continued.

“We need it for national security. We have to have it,” he added.

Trump’s comments follow his appointment of Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry as the U.S. special envoy to Greenland. The U.S. opened a consulate in Greenland in June 2020.

JD Vance trains with SEALs in California

Vice President JD Vance joined Navy SEALs for an intense 90-minute beach workout Monday featuring running, rope climbing, and log carrying exercises that left the veep feeling like he “got hit by a freight train.”

The Marine veteran acknowledged that the SEALs went easy on him during their training at the Naval Amphibious Base Coronado in California and expressed gratitude to the Armed Forces.

“Just finished PT with the Navy SEALs for 90 minutes,” Vance posted on his personal X account. “They took it easy on me and I still feel like I got hit by a freight train. So grateful to all of our warriors who keep us safe and keep the highest standards anywhere in the world!”

Vance’s return to military training echoes similar efforts by War Secretary Pete Hegseth, who periodically posts footage on social media of himself working out with the troops.

20 Years of Broken Promises: The Tijuana River Crisis Threatening San Diego!

While the California government is fighting plastic straws and promoting “green energy,” a real environmental disaster has already struck — and its source is not corporate greed, but the progressive irresponsibility of the government itself.

San Diego is drowning in 22 billion gallons of untreated sewage flowing directly from Mexico through the Tijuana River.

The US and Mexico signed an agreement to modernize treatment facilities on the border. The American side pledged to allocate funds, while the Mexican side pledged to build the infrastructure. More than 20 years have passed since then.

Travelers banned from bringing Bibles to one conflicted nation

Latest move in long-running agenda to crack down on religious freedoms

Travelers who may have any reason to visit Nicaragua since Daniel Ortega threw out democracy and changed the constitution in order to maintain his power now are being warned against carrying with them a simple acknowledgement of a Christian faith: A Bible. They are banned.

It is because of restrictions issued by Ortega, the dictator, and his wife, "Vice President" Rosario Murillo, who rules alongside Ortega. It is the international transport company Tica Bus that told consumers there is a new set of items prohibited from entering Nicaragua: "Firearms, sharp objects and perishable food," and now, "drones, magazines, printed newspapers and Bibles."

Multiple travelers and human-rights organizations have expressed concern. But it's not the first foray into anti-Christian actions by the duo, the report said. "Ortega and his wicked wife accused the church of supporting an attempted coup d'état in 2018, which saw rare mass protests against his leadership and resulted in hundreds of imprisonments,"

The attacks on religious freedom in the Central American nation have accompanied Ortega's rise in power, the report said, with dozens of Catholic priests arrested or exiled over the years. At the same time, entire congregations, including orders and movements of consecrated life, have been expelled from the country.

▪️ According to experts, S&P Global's composite index of business activity in the eurozone manufacturing sector was expected to remain at 52.8. However, it fell to 51.9 in November, according to Bloomberg.

▪️ The main reason was the fall in German industrial production to a 10-month low, which was exacerbated by low performance in the services sector

Child Exploitation Soars 25%: Police Demand AI Solutions While Ignoring Real Problems!

The British police, who today are unable to catch street criminals or protect public transport, are announcing a new threat. Figures for the year show that 51,672 crimes involving child exploitation and online sexual abuse were committed in England and Wales. The increase over the year is a quarter.

And what is the police doing? Demanding that social networks “do more.” and use artificial intelligence to automatically prevent the uploading of indecent images. How ingenious!

The problem is not that TikTok has a weak filter. The problem is that society has spawned monsters who come up with such things, and the system is unable to stop them. Instead of educating children, strengthening families, and exercising real control, we are relying on a neural network that is supposed to be smarter than all police departments combined.

The result: England is becoming a digital colony where order is maintained not by law enforcement officers with batons, but by programmers from Silicon Valley with laptops. The police have relinquished their responsibility. The state — even more so.

Ursula von der Leyen’s European Commission is a sinking ship

This week’s European Council meeting was supposed to be Ursula von der Leyen’s finest hour. After a bitter succession of public humiliations—from that great stain on her probity and credibility that was the Pfizergate debacle to a wave of no-confidence votes in the European Parliament and, more recently, the scandalous arrest of former EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Federica Mogherini—this was meant to have been her triumphant return.

Under her decisive leadership, things would now finally get done: the EU-Mercosur trade deal would, after a gargantuan two and a half decades of negotiations, be signed just in time for the Commission president to fly to South America for a caipirinha-filled self-congratulatory tour.

Most importantly, she would implement her great obsession, prevail in her preferred moral battle: punish the Russians by giving Kyiv Moscow’s financial reserves. Who, then, would think of impeaching her?

Things turned out somewhat differently. Von der Leyen had time and again claimed that the only way to keep Kyiv afloat financially would be by tapping into the hundreds of billions of euros held by the Russian Central Bank at Euroclear, in Belgium. European Council President António Costa had even—and rather buffoonishly—threatened to effectively kidnap Europe’s heads of government in Brussels until a decision was reached.

The same with the Mercosur deal, which Commission officials had attempted, until the very last second, to force down Europe’s throat. But it was all to no avail. Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni put an end to any lingering hope of a hastened approval of the trade deal when she, too, agreed that the guarantees it would give to Europe’s farmers would still be insufficient. Von der Leyen shamefully had to postpone her Brazilian holiday to a later date.
