  2. The U.S. Fed and central bank “study” the idea of protecting 18 trillion dollars of bank deposits. Insane is not the word for this, so how about “calculating”?

    I will point out that guaranteeing a deposit is not the same thing as guaranteeing the dollars comprising that deposit. Slippery, right? An infinite number of dollars can be printed to backstop all depositors but this will render the dollar, itself, on its own path to devaluation.

    So what does this really mean? It means that under the guise of financial “safety” Modern Monetary Theorists (the current collectivist government and its communist Keynesian economists) are considering to usher you into a corral using your own fear as bait. Then, once they have you, the value of the dollar will drop like a rock because of the very printing mechanism that is supposed to protect your finances.

    That’s when the CBDCs ride in like a black-hatted cowboy because you’re options are exhausted and you must accept.

    • “These Folks Are Talking Armageddon… A Trifecta of Macro Imbalances!” – Charles Payne Reacts to SHOCKING Economic Numbers (VIDEO)
      By Jim Hoft Mar. 21, 2023 2:30 pm0 Comments

      Charles Payne opened his show on Tuesday with sobering news. Payne warned his FOX Business Network viewers that the country is facing a “trifecta of macro imbalances.”

      Charles went on to explain how the current economic numbers point to an unprecedented diaster ahead.

      Via Charles Payne:

      Charles Payne: At this point, I’m wondering if we should be calling the end of the world bubble, the real bubble out there.

      Tavi Costa, points out that the recent banking problems remind us that the economy is facing what he calls a “trifecta of macro imbalances.”

      In other words, this has rarely ever happened.

      ** The debt problems of the 1990s. We’re in a 98% Taliban – Only 2% of the time has this problem been worse.

      ** Speculative environment of the 1990s – Only 1% of the time has the market been this expensive, this speculative in history.

      ** And inflation issues of the 1970s at 88% – So only 12% of the time have we seen that kind of risk. He’s calling that the trifecta.

      But I got to tell you something, he is not alone. Check this out. They’re now saying at JPMorgan we could be in what they’re calling the “Minsky Moment.” I’m thinking maybe this is some sort of composer I’ve never heard of before. Instead, it’s a little bit more ominous than that.

      So here’s the Minskey moment for you. The onset of market collapse. This is at the onset of a market collapse, part of its reckless speculative activity. Also, investors engage in excessively aggressive speculation and they take additional credit risk. Right? This is the key part here. The additional credit risk. And the tipping point for all of this is reached and extreme that is really just unsustainable. So in other words, it’s a house of cards and it all starts to come down.

      So in the sea of all of this doom and gloom, is there any hope? Let’s bring an RIA advisor. CIO Lance Roberts…

      You better hold on. It looks like Joe Biden and the Democrats really did it this time!

    • reuters – U.S. FDA to soon decide on second round of Omicron-tailored boosters – WSJ

      March 21 (Reuters) – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is close to making a decision on possible authorization of a second dose of updated COVID vaccine boosters for high-risk people, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing sources.

      FDA officials could make the decision within a few weeks, the report cited the sources as saying.

      The regulator is considering authorizing second jabs of Omicron-targeted shots for people who are 65 years and older or who have weakened immune systems, although officials are yet to reach a final decision, the report said.

      The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would have to recommend the shots for them to become widely available after the FDA authorizes a second Omicron-tailored boosters from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.

      A spokesperson for the FDA did not comment on the report.

      yahoo news – Moderna Wants To Charge About $130 Per COVID-19 Vaccine Dose

      From now on, Moderna expects to charge $130 per dose for its COVID-19 vaccine as purchases move from the government to the private sector.

      “There are different customers negotiating different prices right now, which is why it’s a little bit complicated,” the company’s president Stephen Hoge said in an interview ahead of a Congressional hearing run by Democratic U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders on Moderna’s pricing plans.

      Moderna previously considered pricing its COVID vaccine in a range of $110 to $130 per dose in the U.S., similar to Pfizer Inc / BioNTech SE’s shot.

      Hoge said the government’s Medicare health plan for seniors pays $70 per dose for the seasonal influenza vaccine. Hoge said that there were two to three times more hospitalizations and deaths from COVID in the past three months alone than from the flu. That went into the company’s pricing reasoning.

      The Biden Administration has said the pandemic public health emergency will end in May, shifting price negotiations to insurers and other purchasers instead of just the federal government, Reuters reported.

      In January, Senator Bernie Sanders had written to Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel to refrain from shooting up the prices of the COVID-19 vaccine because of the government funding it received.

      Bancel is expected to testify this month on its plans to raise the price of its COVID-19 vaccine in front of the Senate.

      Price Action: MRNA shares are up 0.31% at $155 during the premarket session on the last check Tuesday.

  3. Why China Needs Russia — Andrei Martyanov Explains
    By Larry Johnson Mar. 21, 2023 7:00 am67 Comments
    TruthGettrGabParlerTelegramShareTweet

    My friend and new colleague, Andrei Martyanov, is always worth reading, but his piece today regarding Russia and the Chinese Navy is must read and see. The United States is quite worried that China is going to provide Russia with weapons, but that misses the point. When it comes to advanced weaponry, Russia is the leader, not China. China’s Xi Jinping is not in Moscow with a catalogue of weapons he is ready to sell to Putin. Just the opposite — Russia has weapons that China needs it if is going to deter U.S. military action against Beijing.

    The United States and Europe mistakenly believe that any bilateral relationship between China and Russia is lopsided in favor of China and that Russia has little to offer its behemoth of a neighbor to the south. The truth of the matter, as Andrei points out, is that China needs Russia as much, if not more, than Russia needs China. While Russia’s population is tiny compared to China, its technological sophistication, particularly on the military side of the equation, and its ample supplies of oil and gas makes it a large and vital country for the Chinese.

    • IMF staff reaches agreement with Ukraine for $15.6 bln program

      The International Monetary Fund said on Tuesday it has reached a staff-level agreement with Ukraine for a four-year financing package worth about $15.6 billion, offering the country needed funds as it continues its battle against Russia’s invasion.

      The agreement, which must still be ratified by the IMF’s board, follows months of negotiations between IMF staff and Ukrainian authorities. The board is expected to discuss approval in the coming weeks.

      The Fund said the agreement is expected to help unleash large-scale financing for Ukraine from international donors and partners.

      “A gradual economic recovery is expected over the coming quarters, as activity recovers from the severe damage to critical infrastructure, although headwinds persist, including the risk of further escalation in the conflict,” IMF official Gavin Gray said in a statement announcing the agreement.

      IMF staff currently expect the change in Ukraine’s real gross domestic for 2023 to range from -3% to +1%, Gray added.

      “An ambitious and appropriately conditioned IMF program is critical to underpin Ukraine’s reform efforts, including to strengthen good governance and address risks of corruption, and provide much needed financial support,” U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a statement.

      The fund had last week changed a rule to allow new loan programs for countries facing “exceptionally high uncertainty” without naming Ukraine, which has been battling a Russian invasion for more than a year.

  4. Liberals Melt Down After Idaho Passes Bill to Allow Execution of Death Row Inmates by Firing Squad
    By Cullen Linebarger Mar. 21, 2023 8:30 am0 Comments

    Boise, Idaho – The Idaho State Senate passed a bill by a veto-proof majority Monday which would permit execution by firing squad for death row inmates. The option would become available if the state is unable to acquire the drugs needed for lethal injections.

    The final vote was 24-11. The Idaho State House approved the legislation back on March 3 by a 50-15-5 vote, which is also a veto-proof majority.

    The bill now goes to Idaho Republican Governor Brad Little’s desk. While Little is a strong proponent of the death penalty, he has not said whether he will sign the legislation into law.

    Earlier this year, the Manhattan District Attorney’s office revived its criminal investigation into Trump’s ‘hush payments’ to porn star Stephanie Clifford, AKA Stormy Daniels, in 2016 and unilaterally elevated the case from a misdemeanor to a felony. It was recently revealed that President Trump might be arrested this week, or next week, according to a leak from DA Alvin Bragg’s office.

    President Trump Truthed over the weekend in response to the leak, “PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!”

    • The Most Disgusting Witch Hunt In The History of Our Country”- President Donald Trump UNLOADS on the Radical Left Democrats While Addressing Potential Indictment in Late Night Address (VIDEO)

      TruthGettrGab

      President Donald Trump directly addressed his potential indictment on a Truth Social video to his supporters late Monday night. Fox News first reported on the address.

      Trump is facing specious misdemeanor charges related to providing $130,000 just before the 2016 Presidential Election to Stormy Daniels. Trump’s disgraced former lawyer Michael Cohen, allegedly passed the money to Daniels to keep quiet about the encounter. Nothing about this transaction is illegal as contracts requiring one party in a transaction to not publicize an event or activity are commonplace in America.

      Cohen was previously convicted of several crimes and sentenced to three years in prison in 2018. These charges include lying to Congress, as well as campaign-financ

      The Mueller gang never took on this case and Federal prosecutors for the Southern District of New York decided against charging Trump related to the Stormy Daniels payment back in 2019, despite Cohen’s testimony. The Federal Election Commission also closed an investigation into the case in 2021.

      But Bragg resurrected the case because he wanted to fulfill a campaign promise to indict Trump and put him in prison.

      In the video, Trump called the “four horrible, radical, left Democratic investigations” a “continuation of the most disgusting witch hunt in the history of our country.”

      Trump went on to trash the previous inquisitions into him, especially the conspiracy theory that his 2016 Presidential campaign colluded with Russia.

      It’s gone on forever with Russia, Russia, Russia; Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine and the Mueller hoax. It’s an absolute disgrace, what’s going on.

AMLO also slammed Joe Biden over the bombing of the Nordstream pipeline, with his remarks coming hours before a scheduled meeting with Biden climate envoy John Kerry.

      A bomb threat was reportedly called into a lower Manhattan court where a judge was about to begin a hearing on the $250 million lawsuit by New York Attorney General Letitia James against former President Donald Trump.
      The 9-1-1 call led to the court being temporarily closed and searched by authorities.

      Bloomberg News reports, “the building, featured in the opening footage of Law and Order, is where state civil cases are heard. James sued Trump, his company and three of his children in September for allegedly inflating the value of his real estate company’s assets.”

      “The New York Police Department said in a statement it had an increased uniformed presence throughout the city and stressed that “there are currently no credible threats” to New York, but that it remained ready to respond to protests and counterprotests,” the report continued.

    • A Trump Indictment Would Be a Disgusting Abuse of Power” – GOP Senator Rand Paul Calls For Manhattan DA Alvin Brag to be JAILED
      By Cristina Laila Mar. 21, 2023 1:25 pm177 Comments

      Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) on Tuesday called for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to be jailed.

      “A Trump indictment would be a disgusting abuse of power. The DA should be put in jail.” – Rand Paul said on Tuesday.

      In January the Manhattan District Attorney’s office revived its criminal investigation into Trump’s ‘hush payments’ to porn star Stephanie Clifford, AKA, Stormy Daniels and elevated the case from a misdemeanor to a felony.

      Trump has been accused of paying Daniels ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.

      Soros-backed DA Alvin Bragg revived the ‘hush payment’ investigation after former Manhattan DA Cy Vance wouldn’t even pursue the case.

      According to Michael Cohen’s former legal advisor Robert Costello who testified before the grand jury on Monday, Trump never directed Michael Cohen to pay Stormy Daniels.

      According to Costello, Michael Cohen allegedly opened a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) back in 2016 and paid Stormy Daniels with the line of credit.

      Nobody knew about the HELOC payment to Stormy, according to Costello.

    • Manhattan District Attorney Responds to House Judiciary Committee — ‘We will not be intimidated’ Out of Pursuing Charges Against Trump
      By Cassandra MacDonald Mar. 21, 2023 1:45 pm135 Comments

      Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office has responded to a letter sent by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan demanding that he testify before Congress about his “unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority.”
      Bragg’s office said they would “not be intimidated” or “deterred.”

      “We will not be intimidated by attempts to undermine the justice process, nor will we let baseless accusations deter us from fairly applying the law,” a spokesperson for Bragg’s office told Fox News on Tuesday.

      “In every prosecution, we follow the law without fear or favor to uncover the truth. Our skilled, honest and dedicated lawyers remain hard at work,” the spokesperson added.

      On Monday, Jordan had sent a letter to Bragg’s office saying, “in light of the serious consequences of your actions, we expect that you will testify about what plainly appears to be a politically motivated prosecutorial decision.”

      Dear Mr. Bragg,” the letter began. “You are about to engage in an unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority: the indictment of a former President of the United States and current declared candidate for that office. This indictment comes after years of your office searching for a basis — any basis — on which to bring charges, ultimately settling on a novel legal theory untested anywhere in the country and one that federal authorities declined to pursue. If these reports are accurate, your actions will erode confidence in the evenhanded application of justice and unalterably interfere in the court of the 2024 presidential election.”

      The possible indictment stems from an alleged $130,000 hush money payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016 over an alleged sexual encounter that the two had in 2006. His former attorney, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty to charges over the payment in 2018 and was sentenced to three years in prison.

      Jordan noted that by July 2019, federal prosecutors determined that no additional people would be charged alongside Cohen.

      “Now, in the words of one legal scholar, you are attempting to ‘shoehorn’ the same case with identical facts into a new prosecution,

    • EXCLUSIVE: ‘Trump will NOT be arraigned this week.’ Former president is expected to be indicted tomorrow and Secret Service will make plans for his surrender and appearance in New York court NEXT WEEK

      Donald Trump will likely be indicted on Wednesday but won’t appear before a judge in New York until next week, DailyMail.com has learned

      There will be no arraignment this week,’ a source familiar with the proceedings told DailyMail.com exclusively on Tuesday.

      The former president, who is currently in Florida, is expected to be formally charged tomorrow, after which the Manhattan District Attorney’s office will reach out to Trump and his Secret Service detail to make arrangements for his surrender, according to the insider.

      He will then fly to New York where he will be arraigned, finger printed, and pose for his mug shot.

      Meanwhile, it’s all-hands-on-deck for the New York Police Department and Metro Police Department as all officers on Tuesday are expected to be in uniform, ready for anything in the wake of the potential indictment.

      Officials in New York City and Washington, D.C., are preparing for possible unrest and demonstrations following the former president’s plea to his supporters to ‘protest, protest, protest’ in response to a potential indictment handed down by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg over hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels.

      Trump, 76, said last week that he expected to be arrested on Tuesday, but a law enforcement official told DailyMail.com that an indictment would likely happen on Wednesday at the earliest.

      An NYPD internal memo obtained by CNN shows that all officers are to be in uniform and prepared for deployment on Tuesday.

      Meanwhile, Daniels’ is also beefing up her security after her attorney said she received concerning messages, including some threatening her life.

      Law enforcement officials tell CNN there are currently no credible threats in New York even though Tuesday is a ‘high alert day.’

    Tucker Carlson unloaded on the Democratic Party over President Donald Trump’s potential indictment in an epic monologue Monday night and issued a dire warning for America should their efforts to stop Trump succeed.

    As Gateway Pundit readers know, Trump faces misdemeanor charges related to an alleged affair with porn star Stormy Daniels back in 2006. He is accused of providing $130,000 just before the 2016 Presidential Election to his disgraced former lawyer Michael Cohen, who then allegedly passed the money to Daniels to keep quiet about the encounter.

    Cohen was previously convicted of several crimes and sentenced to three years in prison in 2018. These charges include lying to Congress, as well as campaign-finance violations and tax evasion.

      VICE NEWS – Stormy Daniels Says She’ll Always Be Known As the Girl Who F***** Trump

      ( 22 min 31 )

      Donald Trump could be the first American President ever to be criminally indicted. That’s thanks to the porn star Stormy Daniels, who was paid to keep quiet about having sex with Trump.

      While making plans to seek the Republican nomination for the White House, Trump predicts he will be arrested on Tuesday and has called for protests.

      So who is the woman at the center of it all? In 2021, VICE News’ Isobel Yeung met with Stormy to discuss that fateful night, how she’s handled the fallout, and how she’ll always be known as “the girl who f***** Trump”. She takes us inside her world — which in a bizarre twist, now largely revolves around the supernatural.

    Burn down US cities and get paid for it.

    In May of 2020, the country’s inner cities were destroyed by BLM and Antifa rioters across the country. In response, major US companies were extorted and coerced to pay millions to BLM.

    Philadelphia was the same as other cities across the country as the rioters burnt down businesses and injured police. TGP reported at the time of a Starbucks that was set ablaze by these violent and destructive rioters.

  11. Biden Regime Now Releasing Hordes of Chinese Illegal Aliens Into US (VIDEO)
    By Cristina Laila Mar. 21, 2023 11:00 am145 Comments

    The Biden Regime is now releasing hordes of Chinese illegal aliens into the United States with NTAs (notice to appear).

    Fox News captured the Chinese illegals being released to an NGO in Brownsville, Texas on Tuesday.

    The illegals were given NTAs because there are so many crossing into the US and no more space to house them, according to Fox News.

    Border Patrol says the number of Chinese nationals illegally crossing the border has recently spiked.

    Border Patrol has encountered over 4,300 Chinese illegals in 2023 – up from 2,176 in 2022 and 450 in 2021.

    Cartel smugglers are cashing in on the Chinese illegals and charging them as much as triple what they charge other migrants from South America, Fox News reported.

    More than 5 million illegal aliens have crossed over the border since Joe Biden was sworn into office in January 2021 and more than 1 million ‘gotaways’ are roaming around inside the US.

    Roger Stone shared the letters sent to him threatening a lawsuit from Hunter Biden’s attorneys. Roger Stone did nothing wrong.

    Stone shared the following:

    OMG ! Hunter Biden’s expensive high priced lawyer is threatening to sue me for TALKING about the contents of Hunter Bidens’s Laptop on my daily show the StoneZONE at https://StoneZONE.LIVE

    Two letters Hunter’s lawyer Abbe Lowell has sent me are attached (below).

    Everything I know about the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop I know by reading about it in the New York Post or the Report On The Biden Laptop by the Marco Polo USA Foundation marcopolousa.org.

    I have no knowledge or involvement in the process or series of events by which Hunter Biden’s Laptop contents became available but I have no reason to believe the information I have read online was hacked, stolen or obtained illegaly.

    Speaking of defamation, Kevin Morris a lawyer/associate of Hunter Biden has made numerous assertions to reporters that I and my attorney Tyler Nixon played some illicit or illegal role in the Hunter Biden Laptop contents becoming public. I have retained copies of these communications and will countersue Morris and Hunter Biden if any frivolous lawsuit is filed against me. I would relish the opportunity to cross-examine Hunter Biden under oath about EVERY SINGLE PAGE of the Lap Top material.

    I will not be silenced.

  13. Corrupt Nancy Pelosi Says She’s “Liberated! Freedom! Free at last!” After Losing House Speaker’s Role
    By Joe Hoft Mar. 21, 2023 9:15 am305 Comments
    TruthGettr

    Crooked and corrupt Nancy Pelosi says that’s she’s free now after losing the House Speaker role in the 2022 election.

    FOX News reported on Pelosi’s comments in a recent far-left Los Angeles Times article.

    Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she is enjoying her time outside of leadership, and now could speak more freely about issues.

    “I’m emancipated now!” the California Democratic congresswoman said during an interview with the Los Angeles Times published Monday. “Liberated! Freedom! Free at last!”

    Pelosi’s comments come as she navigates a new reality after two decades in Democratic leadership, leaving her with more time on her hands and a greater freedom to speak her mind, she told the Times.

    The far-left LA Times gave a puff piece on Pelosi who oversaw the highest spending in US history by far of any Speaker during her last few years in office. The LA Times reports on how Pelosi is so unbound now that she can eat her hot dog in peace.

  14. Russian Tech Firm Develops Long-Range Missile and Integrated Drone System Based on AI Technology
    By Jim Hoft Mar. 21, 2023 11:45 am70 Comments

    Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping are meeting this week in Moscow to expand their relationship.

    Xi has ignored attempts by the Biden Administration to set up a call between the two leaders while he is in Russia. Also, threats by Secretary of State Blinken did not dissuade Xi Jinping from traveling to Moscow this week.

    On Tuesday Russia’s TASS News announced that Russia has developed a long-range thermal imaging reconnaissance system based on artificial intelligence.

    In July 2021, Russia test-fired its new 6,100 mph hypersonic Zircon missile. The weapon is capable of evading all Western defenses.

    Vladimir Putin ordered the mass production of the Zircon missiles following successful testing.

    Now Russia has a missile system integrated with AI and drones.

    Via TASS:

    MOSCOW, March 21. /TASS/. Specialists of the Astron Opto-Mechanical Design Bureau (part of the Shvabe Group within the state tech corporation Rostec) have engineered a long-range thermal imaging reconnaissance system based on artificial intelligence, Astron CEO Vladimir Popov told TASS on Tuesday.

    The Blokpost-4T system integrates a 400T ‘flying thermal imager’ quadcopter, he specified.

  15. Marjorie Taylor Greene Responds to Joe Biden’s Dig with FIRE
    By Cristina Laila Mar. 21, 2023 12:00 pm85 Comments

    Joe Biden on Monday issued his first veto to defend his ESG rule that authorizes asset managers to prioritize funding political agendas.

    Earlier this month the Senate voted 50-46 to overturn Biden’s ESG bill.

    The Labor Department rule “permits fiduciary retirement fund managers to consider climate change, good corporate governance and other factors when making investments on behalf of pension plan participants.” according to CNBC.

    Two Democrats voted with Republicans to block the bill so the senate doesn’t have the votes to override Biden’s veto.

    Biden absurdly claimed the bill to block his Communist ESG rule would have put retirement savings at risk.

    “This bill would risk your retirement savings by making it illegal to consider risk factors MAGA House Republicans don’t like,” Biden said.

    Then he took a swipe at Marjorie Taylor Greene: “Your plan manager should be able to protect your hard-earned savings — whether Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene likes it or not.”

  16. sky sport UK – Ramadan: Match officials asked to provide opportunity for Muslim players across Premier League and EFL to break fast

    Match officials issued with guidance ahead of holy period of Ramadan and encouraged to find natural pause in play during evening matches to allow any Muslim player or match official to break their fast before resuming the action; Ramadan begins this week and lasts around a month

    Match officials across the leagues have been asked to allow players to break their fast during evening matches over the holy period of Ramadan, Sky Sports News can exclusively reveal.

    Many of the country’s best footballers including Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, Manchester City’s Riyad Mahrez and Chelsea’s Ngolo Kante, are expected to fast this month and will abstain from eating or drinking during daylight hours during an important period of self-reflection for Muslims.

    They will need to break their fast once the sun has set – and this will affect a number of players taking part in evening matches across the divisions over the next month.

    Match officials have now been issued with guidance from refereeing bodies to allow for a natural pause in play and enable players to break their fast by taking on liquids or energy gels or supplements.

    They have also been encouraged ahead of the kick-off to try and identify any players who may need to break their fast during the game, and where possible to agree a rough time for this to happen.

    The Football Association and PGMOL (Professional Game Match Officials Ltd) have been contacted for comment.

    Ramadan, which is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection and community begins this year from Wednesday evening (March 22) until the evening of Friday April 21.

    Two years ago, Sky Sports News revealed Leicester City’s match with Crystal Palace had been paused mid-game to allow players to break their fast in what is believed to have been a Premier League first.

    On that occasion, both clubs agreed pre-match with referee Graham Scott that there would be a pause in play to allow Wesley Fofana and Cheikhou Kouyate to break their Ramadan fast.

    Vicente Guiata delayed taking a goal kick just after the half-hour mark to allow Fofana and Kouyate to take energy gels at the side of the pitch.

    Fofana took to social media after the game, thanking Guiata, Palace and the Premier League for allowing him to break his fast, adding: “That’s what makes football wonderful.”

  17. C’est La Guerre! (It’s War!) – Road Blocks, Fuel Shortages, Social Turmoil – But Macron and Borne Claim ‘Victory’ in Pension Reform Battle
    By Paul Serran Mar. 21, 2023 12:40 pm0 Comments

    The French know their wines, their fine cuisine, and they know their popular insurrections.

    Since French president Emmanuel Macron decided to ram through his deeply unpopular Pension Reform using the ‘nuclear option’ Article 49.3 to bypass the Parliament, the country has erupted in a scale not seen since the pre-COVID ‘Yellow Vests’ days.

    And the situation does not give signs of calming down. ‘La jeunesse en soirée, les syndicats en journée’, is the word on the street: ‘the youth at night, the union members by day’.

    And that’s how it’s going. The police tactic on Sunday was to bottle up and ‘trap’ the multitudes, keeping them from proceeding to the nervous center of the capital.

    Joe Biden on Tuesday delivered remarks at the White House Conservation in Action Summit.

    Biden proudly announced he is establishing two new national monuments – Avi Kwa Ame in Nevada, and Castner Range in West Texas – to ‘preserve’ more than 500,000 acres of land.

    “The Avi Kwa Ame monument in Southern Nevada will include the peak also known as Spirit Mountain, which is part of the creation story of several tribal nations. The area is a desert landscape that contains a Joshua tree forest and fauna including the desert bighorn sheep, desert tortoise and Gila monster.” The Hill reported.

  19. Russian Pop Star Who Criticized Putin Found Dead After Drowning
    BY SHANNON POWER ON 3/21/23 AT 7:37 AM EDT

    The founder of a pop group whose song became an anthem during anti-war protests in Russia has died by drowning aged 34 on Sunday

    Dima Nova—whose given name was Dmitry Svirgunov—founded the popular electronic group Cream Soda, and criticized Russian President Vladmir Putin’s alleged $1.3 billion mansion in the song “Aqua Disco.” The song was often sung at protests before and in the early days of Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine and the protests quickly became known as “Aqua Disco Parties.”

    Nova fell through ice while crossing Russia’s Volga river in the Yaroslavl region, north east of Moscow, according to Russian news website People Talk. He was with his brother Roma and two friends.

    OUCH! Fed Court Issues Major Blow to Biden Regime’s “radical environmental agenda”…TX AG Says Ruling “Removes Biden’s boots off the necks of Texans!”

    In late December, the Environmental Protection Agency under Joe Biden tried to substantially expand its federal jurisdiction over water sources across the nation, including local lakes, ponds, and streams, in a rule called “Waters of the United States” or WOTUS

    The waters in question typically fall under the state’s jurisdiction, but Biden’s EPA is hoping to increase its control by moving governance under the federal government, which would then have the ability to regulate all of them. The WOTUS rule was to take effect on Monday. But in an outstanding victory for state’s rights, a Trump-appointed judge halted Biden’s overstep.
    Judge Jeffrey Brown of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas said the rule exceeds the EPA’s authority. He agreed with Texas AG Ken Paxton, who filed suit against the EPA alongside the AG from Idaho, that WOTUS would cause “irreparable harm” to the states.

  21. JUST IN: Twenty-Five Attorney Generals Fight Back At The Supreme Court Against Liberal Court’s Attempt To Thwart Border Security, Here’s What You Should Know

    Attorneys generals from 25 states have petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court over border security. The AGs are asking the high court to protect a federal law that’s been used to prosecute those who encourage others to break immigration law or help give rise to illegal immigration.
    Oral arguments in the United States v. Helaman Hansen case are scheduled to begin before the Supreme Court on March 27.
    Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen leads the coalition and is recommending the Supreme Court reverse a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling. The Ninth Circuit court struck down a part of 8 U.S. Code, which allows the federal government to prosecute cases related to illegal immigration. The Ninth circuit court has also filed an appeal.

    The debate surrounds whether or not the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is violated by the federal prohibition that keeps Americans from encouraging unlawful behavior, such as violating immigration laws for private gain.
