"The more shocking a news story is, the more likely it's bullshit!" -- Michael Rivero
An intriguing shift is observed among almost a third of millionaires in the U.S., who now identify themselves as part of the middle class, according to MoneyWise. A Bloomberg study further reveals that 25% of America’s “regular rich,” earning at least $175,000 annually, perceive themselves as “very poor,” “poor,” or “getting by but things are tight.” This surprising self-assessment raises questions about the sustainability of such economic dynamics.
Hospitals in Beijing and Liaoning, a province located 500 miles to the northeast of the capital, have reported cases of ‘undiagnosed pneumonia.’
Demonstrators marched and chanted while holding Israeli flags and banners condemning Netanyahu and demanding he leave office last night.
They held their Prime Minister responsible for Hamas' brutal invasion of Israel on October 7, in which some 240 captives were taken back to Gaza and about 1,400 people were killed.
One protester, Rani Graff, said: 'Benjamin Netanyahu, the current Prime Minister of Israel [needs] to leave his job because he is the one responsible for the October 7 disaster, the biggest one we have in the history of Israel, where 1,400 people were murdered, and babies, women and children were kidnapped, raped and burnt to death.
'We need him to go, he is responsible, we need him to go now, yesterday.'

President Joe Biden echoed former President Franklin Roosevelt when he called America the arsenal of democracy. With wars raging on two fronts, Israel and Ukraine, and China threatening to invade Taiwan, how stretched is the American arsenal?

Israeli occupation is not limited to Palestine. The response from western elites to Israel’s ongoing massacre in Gaza shows how Tel Aviv is also occupying the mindsets of American and European leaders.
Beyond setting up colonies on Palestinian lands, Israel has gone further, establishing political settlements in western capitals.
These moves have met an unprecedented lack of opposition, with politicians from across the spectrum uniting in support of Israel after the 7 October Hamas attack. There is a stark contrast between their impassioned speeches on Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and their detached, fanatical rhetoric on Israel.
Within international institutions, we have seen the West veto resolutions on basic humanitarian aid, severely damaging any claims to moral authority.
Russian and Chinese business executives with government connections have secretly discussed building an underwater tunnel connecting Crimea to Russia, according to communications obtained by the Ukrainian security services and corroborated and reported by the Washington Post.
The Russian-built bridge over the Kerch Strait is vulnerable to Ukrainian attacks, having been hit twice since Feb. 2022.
As a result, Russia is looking for safer alternative transportation routes.
The Washington Post reported that an October email from the state-owned Chinese Railway Construction Corporation (CRCC) said they were “ready to ensure the construction of railway and road construction projects of any complexity in the Crimean region.”
Do you remember when the testosterone-driven “Top Gun” was the ultimate recruitment tool for the US Navy? It’s easy to see why—the movie was packed with adrenaline, rugged men, beautiful women, and plenty of what’s now termed “toxic masculinity.” Contrast that with today’s military, which has totally shifted focus. Instead of seeking out traditionally masculine men, their recruitment now heavily includes the LGBTQ community and men who wear pantyhose. This change might be why their recruitment numbers are in the toilet.
The United States military’s newest recruitment tactic is taking a really bizarre turn. Gone are the days of scouting for robust young men at gyms or high school football practices. Now, they’re adopting a different strategy: dressing up as anime characters and visiting “conventions” across the nation.
Chauvin was stabbed at the medium security Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Tucson, Arizona, on Friday.
The Minnesota Attorney General’s Office announced on Saturday that former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is expected to survive, telling NBC News, “I can confirm that, as of last night, Chauvin was expected to survive.” No additional details about his condition were provided.
His mother, Carolyn Pawlenty, says she had to find out about the stabbing and her son’s condition through the media because prison officials never contacted her.
The downsides of being replaced and globalism are made up for by cheap labor/services/consumer goods and the idea that more people to buy and sell to is an end in and of itself.

Farmers in the occupied West Bank face near-daily incursions and violence from Israeli settlers, to the point that they live in fear of having their homes and land stolen, they say.
Added to that is the violence they witness in nearby urban areas, like Jenin city and refugee camp that the Israeli army stepped up raids on, killing 10 people and wounding 20 in just one week.
