On February 4, 2022, Presidents Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin unveiled a 5000 word ‘Joint Declaration on the International Relations Entering a New Era and the Global Sustainable Development.’ The words “sustainable development” tied to “international relations” have obviously caused more than a few concerned citizens of western nations to gasp in fear that these two Eurasian powers who are apparently in a conflict with the unipolar death cultists managing the NATO cage, are in reality, simply controlled opposition.

Is this the end of the myth of a stable Germany?

German politicians have become accustomed to the convenient role of judges deciding which political parties and their programs in various countries are sufficiently European and deserving of acceptance in accordance with the prevailing canons of liberal Western democracy, and which should be condemned and separated by a “firewall.” This severity and principality always clearly increase among German political and media commentators, especially when it comes to forming opinions about politics in Central and Eastern European countries.

Benjamin Netanyahu is in trouble at home, but columnist Thomas Friedman reports that the Biden administration might come to the Israeli prime minister’s rescue. The U.S. president is pressing the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to formally recognize Israel. There should be no harm in that. But the kingdom’s Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, whom Biden once promised to treat as a pariah, wants a bribe — and a big one. Related Friedman: “The president is wrestling with whether to pursue the possibility of a U.S.-Saudi mutual security pact that would involve Saudi Arabia normalizing relations with Israel, provided that Israel make concessions to the Palestinians that would ...

Writer Who Ignited Spark Starting Revolt Against Transgender Athletes in Women’s Sports Punished
Post Date: 2023-08-04 12:23:16 by Charles_Byrd

There was a major backlash this year for the first time against Pride Month, and much of the trend can be credited back to a brave writer who broke a story in December 2021 about a transgender athlete competing in female sports. For this, he has been drastically shadowbanned on Twitter, which has unfortunately not been corrected under the new fairer leadership of Elon Musk. While Twitter (recently renamed to X) has become the most powerful media platform in the world, allowing formerly suppressed conservative journalists (including myself) to thrive, Chris Tremoglie remains mostly invisible, punished for his groundbreaking work that has helped women and girls everywhere.

The continued drama revolving around frames and receivers took a turn on Friday July 28, 2023. In a case known as VanDerStok v. Garland, the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals passed on staying a lower court’s judgment and the Department of Justice launched an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. While SCOTUS has remained conservative about meddling in lower court battles in a post NYSRPA v. Bruen U.S., in this instance, they did administratively stay the judgement until August 4, 2023.
