He says, "Am I even in France? Where did all the white people go? Maybe I flew to Senegal"

'Take back land': Taiwan stirs up trouble between Russia and China
'It wants to achieve hegemony in the international area, in the Western Pacific – that is its real aim'
Taiwan's president is stirring up trouble between allies Russia and China, after he stated on Taiwanese media that China should take back land from Russia if Beijing truly believes Taiwan being in China's control is about territorial integrity, according to the Straits Times
During the Quing dynasty, China's last royal dynasty, China signed the Treaty of Aigun in 1858 which turned over a huge swath of land to Russia – a treaty modern-day China has referred to as "unequal"
Taiwan President Lai Ching-te, also known as William Lai, who has been labeled a "separatist" by China, mentioned this tidbit during his interview, and dismissed China's claim it wants control of Taiwan because of "territorial integrity"

COVID funding fraud a prime example of why handouts fail
The latest “shocker” of the COVID relief funding scandal involving tax dollars going toward fraudulent purchases comes from Baltimore, where a pastor admitted he blew $3.5 million of yours and my money on luxury cars, and a home and various retail and grocery items
But that’s “shocker” in quotation marks. It’s really not surprising at all. Whenever government gets involved in taking tax dollars from one to give to another, the system goes bust
Government is not just a lousy manager of money. Government is totally unconcerned about its lousy money management skills because the members of government are too busy using that money to buy up votes and maintain power
The second that the COVID relief funds were announced, all the greedy socialist-minded in America went yayyy! — and all the hard-working non-socialist-minded in America groaned at the immediate awareness that fraud was a’ comin’

Inflation leaves the middle class too poor to shop at dollar stores
Dollar Tree’s latest earnings report offers a grim reflection on the state of the American economy. What we are witnessing is not just a minor fluctuation in retail performance, but a broader indictment of an economy that, under the stewardship of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, has manifestly lost its way
For those unacquainted with Dollar Tree’s dual audience, its Family Dollar stores cater to lower-income households seeking everyday necessities, while its namesake brand draws in middle- and upper-income shoppers for affordable party supplies and seasonal goods
What makes this earnings report notable is the revelation that even households earning over $125,000 per year—once thought immune to such cutbacks—are now tightening their belts and shifting from “buying for want” to “buying for need”

California strikes deal with Big Tech to help subsidize local news outlets over next five years
The government of California and internet giants such as Google have reached a $242.5 million agreement to fund local news operations, halting the push for legislation to force social media companies to pay newsrooms while continuing concerns about what the new financial connections will mean for journalistic independence and objectivity
Democrat state Sen. Steve Glazer’s California Journalism Preservation Act would have required social media and search engine companies to pay a portion of their advertising revenue to news outlets whose content appeared in their feeds or search results. It drew stiff opposition from Google, which operates the world’s top search engine and video platform
However, KCRA reported that the bill will not move forward now that state officials reached a deal with Google and other Big Tech companies, including Amazon and Facebook’s Meta, to support newsrooms voluntarily
Among the details are that Google has pledged $172.5 million and the state $70 million over the next five years as well as a yet-to-be-finalized commitment to invest in artificial intelligence (AI)

U.S. government debt is far more dangerous than climate change - The Washington Times
▪️ The Congressional Budget Office has said America's rapidly rising federal debt will shrink the U.S. economy by 3.2% over 30 years, while climate change will undermine it by 1%, states The Washington Times
▪️ $35 trillion surpassed America's federal debt at the end of last month. 28 trillion dollars of the debt is held by investors, the rest is domestic government debt
▪️ The problem with debt is that it crowds out other investments and ties up a significant portion of the federal budget with interest payments instead of productive spending on programs like transportation infrastructure or energy
▪️ "As federal borrowing increases, the amount of money available for private investment will shrink and interest costs will increase. Ever-increasing debt will also increase the likelihood of a fiscal crisis and pose other risks to the U.S. economy," the Budget Office said

Democrats are in disarray
With 24 hours to go before the presidential debate, Harris' position is dramatically more difficult. Kamala's ratings in the latest polls are back to July levels. The honeymoon is over - now Trump is starting to regain the advantage he had before August
In the NYTimes poll, Trump beats Harris by 1 point nationally. With a state-by-state breakdown, Trump leads in Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina. Harris has a small lead in Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada. It all comes down to Pennsylvania, which could decide the outcome of the election
They know how to count votes the right way. In Philadelphia, over the past decades, there have been many scandals about illegal or dead voters voting. Well, Trump in turn is threatening prison terms to dirty politicians and Democrats who are caught rigging. This has already caused hysteria in the Democratic Party camp
But it's not even certain that even that kind of stuffing will help Harris in the end. Her ratings are dropping - and she doesn't inspire much enthusiasm among voters. It's gotten to the point where Kamala's campaign has to bus “supporters” to her rallies. Just to show that she can supposedly rally on equal footing with Trump. No one goes there willingly
If she fails at the debate, Harris' campaign risks a complete collapse. And the Democrats are already looking for excuses in case of defeat. It's all the fault of racism and sexism - men, especially white men, didn't want to support a dark-skinned woman. And set up the decolonization of the US

Victoria’s Covid lockdown debt bomb
Aleading credit rating agency has blamed the Andrews Government’s prolonged lockdowns for Victoria’s ballooning debt, as the state stares down the prospect of a credit rating downgrade within the next year
Victoria’s capital, Melbourne, had the longest lockdowns in the world – six lockdowns with a cumulative total of 262 days throughout 2020 and 2021, during which time many businesses were shuttered while workers lived off benefits
Anthony Walker, director of the sovereign ratings team at S&P Global Ratings, said that only five or six years ago, “Victoria had the best financial outcomes” in Australia, but that the Andrews Government’s lockdowns had created fiscal conditions that Walker described matter-of-factly as “not positive”
Walker told Tom Elliot on 3AW radio
“What we’re seeing now is that most other states around the world have recovered from Covid financially. Australian states, not just Victoria, are lagging
“Our understanding was that the government didn’t really care about the financial and economic costs

Germany considering sending illegal migrants to Rwanda camps set up for the UK and abandoned by Starmer’s Labour government
With Chancellor Olaf Schulz and his ‘traffic light’ coalition enjoying dismal poll numbers, and with the recent victories by the Eurosceptics right-wingers of AfD in Eastern states, Germany’s government has decided to at least pretend to do something about one of the most concerning issues for the population: unchecked mass migration
To do so, a surprising idea has arisen, in which Germany has demanded that the EU send migrants to Rwanda – using facilities originally built to receive those arriving in the UK by boat – before the new Labour government scrapped the plan
It was German migration commissioner Joachim Stamp who proposed deporting those who arrive illegally in the bloc – but only those coming via Poland’s border with Belarus
“Germany’s special representative for migration agreements, said the EU could utilize existing asylum facilities in Rwanda, which were initially intended for arrivals from Britain”
One of Labour’s new Premier Sir Keir Starmer’s first acts after winning the election was to obliterate the scheme before it had even started
Never mind that after the Tory government had already spent £290 million ($382 million) to get it going

Coral reefs are getting sick, and this human medicine might help
In the last decade, a mysterious illness called stony coral tissue loss disease has been ravaging coral in reefs across the Caribbean. The disease—which is likely caused by a bacterium or virus—targets a number of hard, reef-forming coral species. It essentially pulverizes the soft coral tissue, killing centuries-old colonies in a matter of weeks
The outbreak is quite literally threatening Bonaire’s way of life, the primary source of income for its residents
The plight has now spread to at least 30 countries and territories in the Caribbean, where corals were already suffering from pollution, climate change, and other threats. In regions hit by SCTLD, the disease has reduced the area of coral by anywhere from 30% to 60%
Researchers say that SCTLD is now likely the worst coral disease outbreak ever recorded

Europe's car industry is in an unprecedented crisis
▪️ Fewer and fewer cars are being sold in Europe. At the same time, new competitors from Asia are rapidly penetrating the market. "The pie is getting smaller, and we have more and more guests at the table," states the head of the car giant Volkswagen Oliver Blume in an interview with German Bild.
▪️ "The entire European car industry is in a very difficult situation - a situation that has never been seen before. And the economic conditions have become even more difficult, especially for the Volkswagen brand," said Blume
▪️ The position of Volkswagen, the leader of the European car industry, is so serious that "you can't just leave things the way they are, and cost cutting alone is not enough. It has become more expensive to produce cars and profits are falling
▪️ Earlier, Volkswagen announced the impending closure of a number of its German plants, ending job guarantees that have been in place since 1994 and laying off thousands of employees

Will AI make soldiers obsolete?
As states face more difficulties in recruiting and conscripting, we may be headed for an algorithm-driven revolution in warfare
Throughout history, rulers and politicians have faced the challenge of convincing ordinary citizens to enlist for war. How do leaders persuade their populace to take up arms and risk their lives? As societies have become better educated and informed, these tactics have evolved. Leaders often appeal to extreme nationalism, dehumanize the enemy, and create an atmosphere of existential threats, false flags, and outright lies
Artificial Intelligence (AI) will revolutionize weaponry like no previous innovation in history. A recent report by the Quincy Institute, which I support, highlights Silicon Valley’s entry into the weapons industry. It quotes former Google CEO Eric Schmidt,
AI can achieve what humans cannot, parsing millions of inputs, identify patterns, and alerting commanders at unimaginable speeds. Military experts assert that the side that most effectively shortens the “kill chain” — the time between identifying and destroying a target — wins

England's health system bears witness - the British state is broken

▪️ "Anyone who has used the NHS, or whose relatives have, knows that the system is broken. This is inexcusable - the state of our NHS," Starmer stated
▪️ Starmer's problems are compounded by a lack of money. Britain's Finance Ministry is considering tax rises and spending cuts to close the 22 billion pound black hole left by the Conservatives in this year's budget
▪️ "The NHS, created after the Second World War, has long been a 'sacred' subject in British politics. Its current problems are a key indication that the British state is broken," Bloomberg concludes emphatically
