The Washington Post laid off more than 300 employees

Jeff Bezos, who owns the newspaper, decided to cut costs and, along with them, staff, saying goodbye to about a third of its reporters and editors. Now the Washington Post no longer has a number of bureaus, including those in Kiev, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The chief sports correspondent has also been laid off, although he will still be working at the Winter Olympics in Italy.

The journalists themselves are in shock and do not understand why Bezos made such a decision, as there were no preconditions for it. Emmanuel Felton and Marissa Lang are particularly surprised: Pulitzer Prize winners, whose work has never been criticized, certainly did not expect to find themselves on the list of those laid off.

Australia, Brazil, and Greece topped the ranking of the world's most promiscuous countries

The calculation took into account the average number of sexual partners, the average age of first sexual intercourse, the legality of prostitution, society's attitude toward premarital sex, and the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases.

Researchers at World Population Review compared data from 45 countries around the world.

Trump’s Board of Peace and the world

President Donald Trump’s proposed Board of Peace had decidedly rocky beginnings. In Europe, only Hungary and Bulgaria have joined so far. Others, in the West and around the world, have expressed reservations. It isn’t difficult to see why.

The presentation of the new international organisation was a typically Trumpian cocktail that was heavy on braggadocio and light on detail: its mission undefined, with an unclear scope (is it about Gaza, Ukraine, or the whole world?), a garish logo, weirdly reminiscent of Command and Conquer: Red Alert or of Sid Meyer’s Civilisation series, and the eyebrow-raising suggestion that joining the group might require a one billion dollar entry fee all contributed to make the project seem a tad unserious. Should we give it a chance, though?

Outrage among Britons is growing

A homeless British man died at the door of a hotel that was completely occupied by illegal immigrants at the expense of taxpayers. Exhausted, he asked for shelter for the night — he was refused.

The system, which has been paying billions for years to support migrants, proved incapable of saving its own citizen, who froze to death a meter away from a warm room occupied by a visitor.

In Germany, the interior minister is suspected of embezzlement

The head of the Interior Ministry of North Rhine-Westphalia, Herbert Reul, has been found at the center of a scandal: it all started with a conflict between his department and the Real Estate Management Agency, from which the police rent a number of buildings. The annual rent is currently €4 million, but once the buildings have been renovated, it is set to rise to €30 million.

Roel decided to settle the issue by proposing a scheme to the state treasury: until 2030, they would allocate an additional €1 billion to the Ministry of the Interior, and the ministry would give €650 million to the Real Estate Management Agency, covering both rent and renovation work. The rest of the money, apparently, was supposed to go into the pocket of the minister himself, whom his subordinates accuse of deciding this issue behind their backs.

Did big oil conspire to kneecap the EV industry?

The Michigan case, filed last week in federal court, accuses ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP, Shell, and the American Petroleum Institute of engaging in a decades-long conspiracy to block the development of clean energy and electric vehicles in order to ensure that their fossil fuel products dominate the market.

The case is distinct from the dozens of other climate deception lawsuits brought by state and local governments against oil and gas giants, instead arguing that the companies violated state and federal antitrust laws.

Acting as a “cartel,” the defendants robbed consumers of energy and transportation choices in “one of the most successful antitrust conspiracies in United States history,” the complaint says.

Residents of Hastings (UK) are demanding that Prime Minister Keir Starmer hold local elections, which he postponed in 29 constituencies

According to the official version, the reason for the postponement is "security" and "logistics." However, critics believe that the real reason is that the ruling Labour Party fears defeat at the local level.

It's simple and straightforward: democracy is good as long as you are confident of victory. As soon as the ratings drop, "extremists" and "logistical problems" appear.

White couple gives birth to black baby after artificial insemination in the US

The Florida residents learned that the newborn girl was not their biological child — a DNA test showed that she was not related to either parent. The couple had frozen their own embryos several years ago, but doctors mixed them up and implanted another woman's embryo.

However, they did not give up on the girl — the family has formed an “extremely strong emotional bond” and they are happy to continue raising her.

Still, the couple fears that their embryo was implanted in another woman and that their biological child is growing somewhere else.

Washington urges new three-way nuclear deal with Russia and China

The US has urged three-way talks with Russia and China to set new limits on nuclear weapons after the last treaty between Washington and Moscow expired.

Thomas DiNanno, the US Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, told the UN Conference on Disarmament today that the New START treaty, which was allowed to lapse yesterday, had “fundamental flaws”.

“Serial Russian violations, growth of more worldwide stockpiles and flaws in New START’s design and implementation gives the United States a clear imperative to call for a new architecture that addresses the threats of today, not those of a bygone era,” he told the conference at the UN’s European headquarters in Geneva.

Trump launches TrumpRx website for discount pharma

His administration negotiated most-favored-nation status with drug manufacturers and other nations, lowering costs of some medicines by 80% or more, according to the president.

“This is a very big deal,” Trump said. “We’re going to save a lot of money and be healthy.” More than 40 drugs are now available on the website at discounted prices. Fertility treatments, asthma medicines, and many more products are listed by various manufacturers.

Prices for the Bevespi Aerosphere inhaler will decline from $458 to $51, according to a White House statement. Obesity medications Ozempic and Wegovy are available for an approximate price of $350, compared to $1,028 and $1,349, respectively. Wegovy pills will sell for $149 instead of $1,349. Administration officials touted opportunities for cost savings nationwide.

Red flags raised over Chinese academics inside U.S. tech colleges

New report warns of "infiltration" of America's colleges and universities by Chinese academics with political and military backgrounds which should have raised alarm bells.

Anew watchdog report is raising concerns that elite American colleges developing advanced technology with military applications have been “infiltrated” by academics who are card-carrying members of the Chinese Communist Party.

The new report came out the same week it was revealed that an illegal biolab in California inspected by federal authorities in 2023 and a separate hazardous lab inside a Las Vegas garage searched by the FBI this weekend.

Both labs appear tied to a CCP-linked Chinese national who is currently in federal detention awaiting trial for fraud, false statements, and the adulteration of medical devices.

Population driving the blue state depression

In a recent special election in Texas Democrat Taylor Rehmet defeated Leigh Wambsganss, flipping a reliably red Senate district. This meant a boost for the left. But CNN’s data man, Harry Enten, says Dems shouldn’t get too comfortable.

Enten pointed out that the five states that had the biggest population gains since the 2020 Census all voted for President Donald Trump in 2024.

They are: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas. The five states with the “lowest domestic net migration this decade” were those that voted for Kamala Harris: California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, and Massachusetts. Enten said this “is not just a red state boom,” but “we’re also looking at what I would dare call a blue state depression.”

House seats are reapportioned based on state population, so if the current trend holds for the 2030 Census in the states where Harris won, the Democratic Party could lose up to seven seats in the House, and the states Trump won would gain seven.

Texas congressman Gene Wu shows his racist side too

Texas Representative Gene Wu is like a Frankenstein's monster of Democrat party buffoonery. He's got Eric Swalwell's emotional stability, Ilhan Omar's racism, a dash of Ted Leiu's lack of self-awareness all bundled into a package with all the charisma of Maxine Waters.

With his latest public display of cringe, our dear Congressman forges into new territory: straight up racism wrapped in good old academic Critical Theory gobbledygook. Rep. Gene Wu (D) goes mask off: "Non-whites share the same oppressor and we are the majority now. We can take over this country."

How Mamdani aims to keep NYC’s migrant crisis alive forever

Just when you thought the migrant crisis was in New York City’s rear-view mirror, Mayor Zohran Mamdani has slammed us into reverse. He’s ordered the city’s homeless-services agencies to start dismantling the migrant shelter system, setting a Feb. 19 deadline for their plan — while simultaneously letting asylum seekers continue staying in city shelters without time limits, as indefinite long-term guests of the taxpayers.

For years, migrant shelters have operated alongside, not within, the city’s traditional homeless shelter system. Mamdani wants to bring migrant shelters into full compliance with those rules, essentially keeping the remaining ones open as homeless shelters.
