by Michael The company that created Moderna has now created a new company called Terrana that has developed an RNA technology for plants that is unlike anything we have seen before. This new technology uses RNA from plant viruses as a platform to transport “other pieces of cargo RNA into a plant” for various purposes …
I mean, there’s literally a woman serving life in prison for it.. After NYT released a picture of the book signed by Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein with the message “to Jeff, you are the greatest!”, Trump calls Epstein files a “Democrat scam” & “con job”? When did Maga become pro-pedophilia? h/t UniversalSurvivalist
Rates are screaming, but the market still hums along. The bulls are running on fumes, but they are still running. Just reviewing some charts this morning, and this one jumped out at me. The ~20% correction in April was a successful test of the running 36-month moving average which is the 7th test since the …
The Epstein story just split wide open, and the public is watching what both parties do with the fuse. The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed Trump-era DOJ records naming both Trump and the Clintons in the Epstein files. Ghislaine Maxwell is expected to testify under oath from prison on August 11. Behind closed doors, Dan …
Prices climbed faster than paychecks again this quarter. Beef just broke $6.12. Social Security faces a mandatory 24% slash starting January 2033. And 40% of U.S. workers now earn less than the inflation-adjusted cost of living. Indeed’s real-pay tracker posted a July spike. 43% of Americans are losing ground on purchasing power. March’s level was …
On July 23, 2025, the U.S. government officially shut the door on thimerosal. The mercury-based compound, once common in multi-dose flu vials, is now absent from every influenza injection distributed nationwide. The decision followed a 5–1–1 vote from the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, ending over two decades of phaseout efforts dating back to …
ICE arrests 243 criminal illegal migrants in Denver, capturing Tren de Aragua gang members, child sex offenders, human traffickers. Previously: Denver Mayor Mike Johnston grilled, threatened with jail during congressional hearing over immigration policies. Johnston also quoted from the Bible as he spoke to the panel. “As mayor I have to protect the health and safety …

The border between Cambodia and Thailand has erupted into open warfare. On July 24, 2025, fighting broke out across six locations near disputed ancient temples, triggering airstrikes, rocket fire, and mass evacuations. Thailand deployed F-16 fighter jets to bomb Cambodian military targets. Cambodia responded with BM-21 rocket launchers and artillery. At least 14 people are …
It’s getting really out of control. A new form of techno-spirituality is spreading like wildfire across the internet. Thousands of people are claiming that ChatGPT is sentient and that the AI is a type of all knowing God, or that it has been sent from the future or an alien civilization to save us. Is …
Trump’s approval is slipping hard but the press still calls it stable. The latest Gallup poll pins him at 37 percent approval and 58 percent disapproval. That is not a plateau. That is erosion. Gallup reports a 10 point slide since January Quinnipiac finds just 17 percent support on Epstein files and 63 percent disapproval …
Trump signs an executive order banning “woke AI” in the federal government. Sounds bold on paper. Dig into the language and it’s a mixture of political theater, selective enforcement, and an open door for regulatory arbitrage. The order claims government AI must follow “truth-seeking,” “ideologically neutral” standards and be free from “diversity-driven distortions.” The White …
Just when the GOP thought it could sweep the Epstein mess under the rug, House Republicans themselves helped force its spotlight back. Suddenly the “release all the files” chorus looks bipartisan, not just MAGA claptrap. Trump may have thought calling it a hoax would end it, now even hold‑‘em‑accountable Republicans are telling him to “release …
Retail’s still dancing while the smart money heads for the exits. When tech is 34% of the index and the top 10 names control 40%, that is not diversification, it is a loaded mousetrap. Fires don’t start with fireworks. They start when no one’s looking and everyone feels safe. Ladies and Gentlemens, The Schiller P.E …
by David Haggith Stocks today soared (Dow up 500) because Trump landed some “massive” tariff deals. The reason they soared, however, appeared to be because the deals were not nearly as massive as Trump had said he was seeking. Still, the idea of flying high over damages done is ludicrous; but so be it in …
by Michael If you ask 1,000 different Americans about the state of the U.S. economy, you will get 1,000 different opinions. But what is the truth? In this article, I am going to share information with you that is indisputable. I like to examine things from an analytical point of view, and so I always …
by Michael I am entirely convinced that the “mystery explosions” that we have been witnessing are an indication that the war between Israel and Iran will soon be “unpaused”. Today, the most important newspaper in the United States ran a major story about the “mysterious explosions and fires” that just keep happening all over Iran. If you …
The House Intelligence Committee released a declassified report that rewires the 2016 election narrative. Page 17 confirms Russian intelligence had internal records on Hillary Clinton’s health, foreign dealings, and party communications. They chose not to release any of it during the campaign. That decision undercuts the central claim made by Brennan’s CIA. Russian intercepts said …
Momentum just doubled. The European Union and the United States are finalizing a trade agreement that would lock in a 15% tariff on EU goods entering the U.S. The framework mirrors the Japan deal signed days earlier. That one included a $550 billion investment pledge and a 15% tariff ceiling. The EU pact is smaller, …
The deal looks like a headline win. Japan agreed to invest $550 billion into U.S. infrastructure and accept a 15% tariff on its exports. Trump’s team calls it leverage. The talking points promise economic victory. But underneath, the funding channel runs domestic. Japan exports roughly $150 billion worth of goods to the United States every …
The UK government is preparing to intervene directly in how children use their phones. Technology Secretary Peter Kyle confirmed this week that a two-hour daily limit per platform is under serious consideration. Curfews are also being discussed. The move comes after a survey of 1,000 teenagers in Darlington revealed that 40% spend at least six …
On July 22, Trump attacked Rep. Thomas Massie on Truth Social, calling him “the worst Republican Congressman” and “an embarrassment to Kentucky.” That was no stray insult. Trump is recruiting a primary challenger and says he plans to campaign in Kentucky to remove Massie from office. The breaking point was Epstein, not just policy. Massie …
Ukraine’s political center of gravity just shifted. On July 22, President Zelensky signed a law that removes the independence of the country’s two most trusted anti corruption bodies, NABU and SAPO. Their authority now flows through the Prosecutor General’s Office, which operates under the president’s direct command. The reaction was instant. Streets filled within hours. …
Trump’s latest tax pitch isn’t new. It’s redundant. On July 22, he floated the idea of eliminating capital gains taxes on home sales. The problem? That tax already doesn’t apply to most sellers. Since 1997, federal law has allowed homeowners to exclude up to $250,000 in gains if single, or $500,000 if married filing jointly. …
A new study just flipped the script on diabetes treatment. Researchers tracked 174,458 patients with type 2 diabetes and found that GLP-1 receptor agonists cut dementia risk more effectively than metformin. The data spans 20 years. The results aren’t subtle. The study pulled anonymized health records from the Trinetx global network. Each drug cohort had …
The media wants you glued to the “Pentagon revolt” narrative over Pete Hegseth’s glam rooms and TV friendly optics. DailyMail pumps out anonymous leaks and dramatic lines making it sound like the entire military is about to mutiny. Reality check it’s just some mid level staffers griping. No generals, no public revolt. Meanwhile a quiet …
Brigitte Macron is going to court in Delaware, and she’s not playing games. The French First Lady has filed a 22-count defamation lawsuit against Candace Owens over false claims that Macron is a man. At the center is Owens’ public statement accusing Macron of being a “biological male” who underwent “gender reassignment,” a conspiracy theory …
The headlines shout about a Venezuelan asylum seeker aiming to press criminal charges against President Trump. CNN reports the story but leaves out the bigger picture behind this move. This is no isolated legal action. It fits within a larger, coordinated strategy funded by activist groups and Democratic donors aiming to undermine Trump’s immigration policies. …
The media’s Epstein coverage just split into a thousand scattered pieces and nobody’s telling the whole story. The New York Post wants you focused on the House Oversight Committee dragging Ghislaine Maxwell back into the spotlight. They paint it like a righteous GOP crusade but ignore how long lawmakers and prosecutors on both sides have …
