Three months after President Donald Trump signed an executive order withdrawing the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO) - they're now suffering from a 'large salary gap' and have 'no choice but to reduce the scale of our work and workforce' with 'significant' layoffs, according to AFP, citing director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
Zelensky has made clear over the last few days that he's not on board with Trump's strategy, which has featured offering recognition of Russian ownership of Crimea as a key concession. These latest words from the US President yet again illustrate that he believes Ukraine has no chance of winning the war, and that he's being a pragmatist and realist in seeking substantial concessions by Kiev. When asked about whether the US might (again) cut weapons to Kiev and intelligence-sharing, Trump responded, "Let’s see what happens; I think we’re going to make a deal; ask that question in two weeks."
The Chinese Ministry of Commerce warned countries around the world that “appeasement cannot bring peace, and compromise cannot be respected” in an ominous message on Monday apparently intended to have a chilling effect on global enthusiasm for renegotiating trade deals with the United States.
The FT report goes on, "The US has since floated ideas for a possible settlement that includes Washington recognizing Russian ownership of Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula, the people added, as well as at least acknowledging the Kremlin’s de facto control over the parts of the four regions it currently holds."
Tel Aviv has deployed the unmanned D9 – or RobDozer – to Gaza and Lebanon since October 7, 2023, and Israeli officials say the IDF is ramping up its use of the system. One source told AFP Israel has used “robotic tools for over a decade, but in very small numbers. Now it is being used in large-scale warfare.”

With stronger weapons, longer ranges, and smarter AI on the horizon, expensive manned platforms—such as warships, aircraft, and tanks—risk becoming obsolete. The Katran and its successors could make, in Tesla’s words, the “mightiest armorclads” become “scrap iron” in the face of innovation.
Total revenues fell by 9 percent to $19.34 billion from $21.3 billion a year earlier, and automotive revenues plunged 20 percent to $14 billion from $17.4 billion last year.

At-home testing can offer a more robust picture of health, according to experts.
Naturally, scientists recognized that densely-packed hydrogen offers extraordinary explosive potential, and set out to build explosive devices to measure the destructive force. China's pioneering evaluation started small, with a test bomb weighing just 4.4 pounds (2kg). The resulting fireball impressed researchers, producing heat exceeding 1,832 degrees Fahrenheit (1,000 Celsius). More importantly, the fireball lasted more than two seconds, which is 15 times longer than a comparably-scaled TNT explosion. No nuclear materials were involved.
The high court shunned normal procedure in blocking the removals, Justice Samuel Alito said in a dissent joined by Justice Clarence Thomas.
a hard knock at the door made them drop their chopsticks. Two men demanded to come in. They said they were from the water utility and were “checking the meter.” The phrase was a code word for police, as the men indeed were. Four or five more soon swarmed in. They dragged her dad away. From the apartment window, the girl could do nothing but watch her father’s lanky frame vanish into a white car, and then, from her life. He never made it back.
Today, Dr. Mehmet Oz was sworn in as the new Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) during a high-stakes ceremony at the White House. Wasting no time, Dr. Oz laid out the brutal truth: America is sick—and it’s bankrupting us. “70% of the healthcare expenditures of this country are driven by chronic disease,” he said. His message wasn’t about throwing more money at the problem or prescribing more pills. It was about fixing the root cause—our collapsing health.

To see the full spectrum of official documents that Jesse Trentadue has fought hard to force the government to release, follow his website named in honor of his brother who he believes was murdered by the FBI: http://www.kennethtrentdue.com/ And for a great interview where Trentadue discusses the contents of this article and more, listen to friend-of-ZeroHedge Scott Horton interview Jesse just last month. As for Ashcroft, after 'retiring' he started a private lobbying firm that quickly secured the Israeli government as its first client.
The Trump administration on Friday published an in-depth look at how Dr. Anthony Fauci and US intelligence agencies suppressed the lab-leak theory behind COVID-19 for political purposes.
Socialists Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been spotted flying around the country on private jets—costing upwards of $15,000 per hour—while making stops on their "Fighting Oligarchy" tour to rile up deranged leftists against Elon Musk, who also enjoys the luxury of private jet travel. Ironically, AOC, Bernie, and Musk seem to have more in common than they'd like to admit.
“So far our [US] whole power projection platform is aircraft carrier and the ability to project power that way strategically around the globe,” said Hegseth in a recent interview. However, Hegseth added that China’s 15 hypersonic missiles “can take out 10 aircraft carriers in the first 20 minutes of the conflict,”
Trump was reviving the enforcement of a 1940 law requiring migrants to register their names and fingerprints with federal agencies. If they fail to do so, those individuals could face criminal penalties resulting in a possible fast-track to deportation. They could also be barred from becoming legal.
Starting in August 2026, the manufacture of certain semiautomatic firearms that can accept detachable ammunition magazines will be outlawed in Colorado, and their sales will be significantly limited (we’ll get into that below). That will include AR-15 and AK-47 rifles, as well as a long list of their popular variants. The law affects tactical shotguns and a small number of handguns.
TUCKER CARLSON: We recorded the interview you’re about to watch five days ago and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. It’s with a former congressman from Pennsylvania called Curt Weldon. Curt Weldon was a very significant figure in Washington 20 years ago. He was not some obscure backbencher. He was one of the most powerful Republicans in the Congress about to take over the Armed Services Committee until he asked questions about the official story on 9-11, at which point the Bush administration sent the FBI to his daughter’s house, destroyed her life, never charged her with a crime, and effectively got Curt Weldon bounced out of Congress.
“More SNAP money is spent on sugar drinks and candy than on fruits and vegetables. That changes today,” Braun said as he signed one of nine executive orders under his new “Make Indiana Healthy Again” initiative.
In 2023, the Global Equality Fund invited projects led or supported by LGBTQ organizations and communities to apply to win awards of between $750,000 and $1.5 million. In 2021, the fund offered up to $1 million to LGBTQ “empowerment” projects in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
The program, formally known as the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund but more commonly called the “green bank,” was approved under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act and saw the EPA award $20 billion in grants to eight entities to launch climate-related projects. In announcing the cancellation of the program in March, Zeldin described it as a “gold bar” scheme. He said the decision to terminate the program was based on “substantial concerns regarding program integrity, objections to the award process, programmatic fraud, waste and abuse, and misalignment with the agency’s priorities.”
The idea, as we laid out in not so many words, is to extract commitments from U.S. trading partners to isolate China’s economy in exchange for reductions in trade and tariff barriers imposed by the White House. US officials plan to use negotiations with more than 70 nations to ask them to disallow China to ship goods through their countries (the so-called "transshipment" loophole), prevent Chinese firms from locating in their territories to avoid U.S. tariffs, and not absorb China’s cheap industrial goods into their economies.

The Chinese regime has long been preparing for war, but it’s still too risky for it to launch an invasion of Taiwan, experts say.
The Chinese regime’s Ministry of State Security posted a message on its official WeChat account on March 23, warning of the alleged threat posed by radio waves, which can carry and spread a large amount of information. The notice accused some radio enthusiasts of regarding foreign radio equipment as “novel toys” and purchasing them illegally, posing a so-called threat to national security. It emphasized “guarding against cross-border radio undercurrents” and preventing their illegal use.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that while Chinese diplomats ‘enjoy broad access’ in America, U.S. diplomats cannot travel to Tibetan areas in China.
some online users questioned the Chinese regime’s long-standing claim of “providing extensive support for the development of Tibet.” One user, commenting on a video about the Dingri County earthquake, asked, “Tibet has been ‘liberated’ for over 70 years—why are the houses still in such poor condition? Where has the funding for Tibet gone?” Another user remarked, “I always thought Tibetans were rich, but this earthquake has shown us the reality of Tibet.”
Three of the five reservoirs have been emptied, which a hydrologist said indicates serious problems.
Mencken was a literary giant of his time, a leading voice followed by all intelligent people. It’s odd to me that today he is so unknown, and that is probably because our times are less tolerant of eccentricity and intellectual provocation than his. He never joined a partisan clique, preferring instead to carve out his own niche as an independent. For anyone who loves ideas, Mencken is impossible to put down. As you read, you feel your internal constitution change. It is exhilarating and transforming. You sense that you are thinking hard for the first time in a long time. With him as your guide, you throw off conventions that surround us. You feel liberated, prepared for new things, renewed in spirit, defiant, courageous.
Every year since COVID-19, a wave of respiratory infections has swept across China.
Tech companies such as Apple stand to gain relief from the exemption.
Now that even the shoeshine boy is speculating whether China is selling its US treasuries (to kill three birds with one stone: i) hammer the dollar, ii) push yields higher and iii) prop up the yuan, if only to give the impression that China is winning the trade war something we described here), Mizuho has a “pretty high” degree of confidence that data will eventually show if China has been selling US Treasuries, according to Jordan Rochester, EMEA head of FICC strategy at the bank.
Another win for election integrity is unfolding in Arizona, where state officials are partnering with DHS to verify voter rolls. Make no mistake about it —this is exactly the kind of action we need to protect our elections from fraud and abuse.
But he seemed to reserve his most aggressive criticisms for Zelensky, once again blasting him for asking for more and more weapons and money, while knowing full well Ukraine can't defeat Russia, which is "twenty times your size" - as Trump said.
In short - MAGA guy fired after Rubio and pals want to keep USAID money flowing.
The US Dismantled Its Nuclear Arsenal While China Raced to Build Up

These steep tariffs are poised to crush Chinese sellers that have long dominated Amazon's marketplace by flooding the U.S. with cheap junk. Data from SmartScout shows that most of Amazon's sellers are based in China. Over the years, Chinese sellers have figured out how to cut out intermediaries and use Amazon as a direct-to-consumer marketplace for low-cost goods such as electronics, toys, household items, and fashion accessories.
RFK Jr. told LaPook that Novavax's shot targets just one piece of the virus, an approach he said has "never worked" for respiratory illnesses: We're looking at that vaccine, and it is a single-antigen vaccine. And, for respiratory illnesses, the single-antigen vaccines have never worked and we're actually shifting our priorities to multiple-antigen vaccines. And NIH is already working on a number of those.

“I think they want to be much more aggressive with China, but they want to do it very quietly,” he said. “They did it almost, in a way, to shield China,” he noted, referring to the administration’s approach of announcing sweeping global tariffs so the levy on Chinese goods did not stand out as much. Balding noted that Trump applies tariffs differently to other countries than he does to China. In the case of the U.S. tariffs on other nations, the rates are set to encourage negotiations. However, Balding remarked that the tariffs imposed on China are so high that negotiations have been very hard for Beijing.

...taken prisoner from the battlefield in eastern Ukraine. Zelensky touted proof of their capture, saying that Ukraine's military in the Donetsk region has obtained the captured Chinese nationals' documents, bank cards and personal data.
India and Russia have for years had a strong arms trade relationship. Since the Ukraine war started, most international scrutiny has been on Iran, which has become a top drone supplier of Russia, particularly the Shahed-136 drone, which has seen wide use in Ukraine's skies. As for India, it has long presented a careful public stance of urging swift diplomatic resolution to the war, but has never outright condemned Moscow for the invasion. China too has long been a key external power helping to prop up Russia's defense industrial sector through dual use products.
Ahead of President Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff rollout on Wednesday afternoon—particularly the 25% tariff on vehicles and auto parts imported into the U.S.—reports surfaced last week of consumers rushing to dealerships to purchase vehicles already on the lot, as those would be exempt from the new levies. We suspect that if consumers are willing to flock to auto dealerships, they're probably just as willing to stock up on their favorite Chinese-made products before the next round of tariffs takes effect this weekend and next Wednesday.

the Alternative for Deutschland, the Alternative for Germany—it won 21% of the vote. It skyrocketed. In some areas of East Germany it won 40%. Whether you like it or not, it represents democracy. A lot of people are fed up with German energy policy, German immigration policy, German social policy, radical environmentalism. And what did the Germans do? They immediately said, even though they have 152 seats in their parliament, the second-largest, no party—no left-wing, right-wing, centrist party—will make an alliance with them to get a majority of seats under parliamentarian democracy to run the government.
Dr. Liz Mumper, a pediatrician, said it’s “tragic that a healthy baby died soon after receiving multiple vaccines.” But unfortunately, it’s not as rare as people might think. Historically, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has “encouraged clinicians to take every opportunity to catch babies up on vaccines,” Mumper said.
Kennedy reportedly fired Grady on Tuesday, according to Politico, which spoke to several individuals familiar with the matter. Further, Kennedy is also said to have “reassigned” a handful of Fauci’s colleagues. Fauci, who led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and served as a medical adviser to the White House during the pandemic, has come under fire for the past few years for giving out controversial advice, as he supported lockdowns, mass masking, and vaccines — none of which prevented transmission of the coronavirus.
The Planned Parenthood affiliates told Politico on Monday that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) informed them their funding is being “temporarily withheld” and shared a notice with the publication alleging potential violations of prohibitions of DEI and “taxpayer subsidization of open borders.”
From 2000 to 2017, I worked at every level of Planned Parenthood, from the front desk to the labs, doing everything from showing videos to managing up to three centers at a time across Arizona. What started out for me as a job with good benefits that would let me help my people (I was born in Mexico) and serve women in need ended up as something altogether different—a front-row seat for the big business of killing babies.
Some of the organizations that encouraged and helped organize the protests have raked in millions from arms of George Soros’ Open Society Foundations and from other nonprofits that act as middlemen between the Left’s major donors and its operations on the ground.
Yoon argued to the Constitutional Court that he acted in line with the Constitution on Dec. 3, as declaring martial law is within a president’s executive authority and not subject to judicial review. He said his intention was to use the emergency action not to grab power but to “make an emergency appeal” to South Koreans about the political deadlock between the executive and legislative branches that has created a governance crisis for the country.

Mexico and Canada are not on the list as US will continue to exempt USMCA-compliant goods. For Canada and Mexico, the existing fentanyl/migration IEEPA orders remain in effect, and are unaffected by this order. This means USMCA compliant goods will continue to see a 0% tariff, non-USMCA compliant goods will see a 25% tariff, and non-USMCA compliant energy and potash will see a 10% tariff. In the event the existing fentanyl/migration IEEPA orders are terminated, USMCA compliant goods would continue to receive preferential treatment, while non-USMCA compliant goods would be subject to a 12% reciprocal tariff.

The nation that first achieves commercial-scale fusion will control a critical pillar of the global economy. U.S. senators and fusion experts are calling for a $10 billion federal investment to maintain leadership, but with government downsizing under Trump’s second term, future funding remains uncertain. If China wins the fusion race, it could dominate the future energy market, much as it has with solar panels, electric vehicle batteries, and rare earth minerals.
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) army, navy, air force and rocket force are involved in the drills, which seek to "close in" on the self-ruled island from "multiple directions" and practice maneuvers including "assault on maritime and ground targets” and “blockade on key areas and sea lanes."
"I see he’s trying to back out of the rare earth deal. And if he does that, he’s got some problems. Big, big problems," Trump earlier told reporters aboard Air Force One. "We made a deal on rare earth and now he’s saying, ‘well, you know, I want to renegotiate the deal.’"

A new report Saturday reveals that Hong Kong's CK Hutchison will not sign a deal next week to sell its two ports on either side of the canal to a BlackRock-led consortium.
