USA - Is COVID hysteria back? According to new reports, the CDC is looking to prevent what they dub a “tripledemic” made up of three respiratory illnesses. These illnesses include COVID-19, the flu, and RSV. Vaccines to stave off the flu, a new COVID variant and RSV could help avert another tripledemic this fall. Unless the public is too crisis-fatigued to care. Dr Ofer Levy, the director for Boston Children’s Hospital vaccine program and an advisor for the Food and Drug Administration, called this “tripledemic” response a “godsend” because of its well-timed availability. He also stated he believes Americans should get all three shots at once. Even though other experts have warned that it would be safer to space each one out to avoid complications.

USA - The Tesla CEO took to Twitter to reveal that he is 'gathering resources' as part of his Level 9 wealth, with the aim of 'making humanity a multiplanet species and true spacefaring civilisation'. The Twitter owner took to the social media platform to flaunt his wealth and reveal how he plans to use his money.

EUROPE - The EU must get its house in order before meddling in Venezuela. Even as rioters are trashing French cities, Brussels is more concerned with lecturing foreign countries. This week, the EU released a formal condemnation of Venezuela’s Comptroller General and their decision to disqualify one of the West’s favored candidates for the 2024 presidential election. Instead of pontificating about administrative decisions in Latin America, perhaps it’s time for Brussels to get its own house in order. While the EU is busy trying to meddle in Venezuela’s internal affairs, its own internal affairs seem to be spinning out of control. The rioters, many of them children, have inflicted over €1 billion worth of damage on both public and private property. Those who sought to sow chaos abroad are watching the bomb go off in their own backyard instead. Perhaps the bomb is going off in their backyard precisely because they’ve been more concerned with sowing chaos abroad.

USA - Unsold electric cars are piling up on dealer lots as the auto industry cranks out more electric vehicles (EVs) than there are buyers in an attempt to compete with Tesla. Luxury brands in particular are struggling with high inventories of EVs that no one wants to buy. The growing discrepancy between electric car supply and demand suggests that while consumers may be showing more interest in EVs, they are still concerned about buying one due to their price or charging concerns, according to a report by Axios. Despite interest, sales aren’t keeping up with increased output, as the nationwide supply of EVs in stock has swelled nearly 350 percent this year, to more than 92,000 units – which translates into a 92-day supply, Axios reported.

USA - A New York father is being celebrated for a colorful rant masterfully taking down the woke left’s radical gender ideology agenda which his doctor pushed on his son. As reported by Fox News on Monday, the father posted a TikTok video Friday where he exploded on his doctor for exposing his innocent 9-year-old son to gender ideology. The woke doctor, who had cared for his son since birth, decided to ask how he identified during a physical. The choices included boy, girl, gender fluid, and nonbinary. The dad goes on to call the whole gender ideology cult ridiculous and blasted those who enable others to poison America’s innocent youth with this sick garbage.

AFGHANISTAN - After almost two decades of conflict, an insurgent army from one of the world’s poorest nations inflicted a decisive military defeat on the US, the global superpower that upholds the unipolar world order. The US government’s total failure in Afghanistan — the longest war in American history — signifies a crucial moment and turning point in world history. The Soviet Union collapsed about two years after the Red Army was defeated and withdrew from Afghanistan. The US military’s presence in Afghanistan was a strategic roadblock to Russia, China, and Iran’s goal of creating a powerful geopolitical group in Eurasia that could challenge the US-led world order. However, with the Taliban forcing the US military out of Afghanistan, the door to a more coherent geopolitical alliance in Eurasia is now wide open. In short, failure in Afghanistan is a geopolitical disaster for the US.

HOLLAND - “Control the food supply and you control the people but control the money supply and you control the whole world. Of course, controlling the money supply also directly affects the food supply. We may very soon experience a reality of apocalyptic proportions.” The global oligarchs are now admonishing us of a possible global famine that may be caused by extraordinary human conflicts and natural disasters. For example, the Dutch government has recently released a statement that attempts to deflect the attention of the general public from their own extreme anti-farming policies by claiming that “because of climate change, poor harvests, armed conflicts and population growth, the danger of famine is increasing”.

UNITED NATIONS - The powerful United Nations is now seeking to increase its influence worldwide by seizing global “emergency” powers, and President Joe Biden supports their proposal. Interestingly, the UN proposal would begin September 2024, a mere two months before a highly anticipated general election in the US. So, precisely what type of “global shock” would trigger an emergency platform? According to the UN, a “large-scale event,” “future pandemics,” a “disruption to global digital connectivity,” a “major event in outer space,” and other “unforeseen risks” are all causes of an emergency platform. Many have criticized the UN’s proposal and have accused it of being an attempt at consolidating power.

HOLLAND - Dutch citizens have rejected the ushering in of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Great Reset” agenda in their nation and have risen up and toppled their government. The Davos elite suffered a major defeat on Friday, resulting in the sudden and complete collapse of WEF Young Global Leader Mark Rutte’s government. Rutte’s coalition government collapsed on Friday after just over a year in office, following a massive rebellion by the people of the Netherlands over the WEF’s Great Reset agenda.

HOLLAND - A biologically male transgender model was crowned as ‘Miss Netherlands’ and will compete for the title of Miss Universe later this year in El Salvador. Rikkie Kolle, a 22-year-old model, has been selected as Miss Netherlands 2023, the first biological male to win the historically female competition. The decision to elect a biological male as Miss Netherlands has drawn criticism on social media. Dutch political commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek wrote on Twitter: “A man just won ‘Miss Netherlands’ 2023.” “Considering the fact that we live in a post-truth world, I wasn’t even expecting anything else. It’s all so predictable and unoriginal at this point.”

USA - Huge swathes of the Northeast are bracing for more catastrophic flooding on Monday after deadly downpours dumped more than eight inches of rain, wiping out entire roads and killing at least one person in a storm that may rival 2011's Hurricane Irene. In upstate New York, roads across the Hudson Valley were waterlogged Sunday - and some wiped away entirely - by the floods. Today, the torrential rain will continue in some parts of upstate New York. Downpours are also expected in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. This morning, 25 million Americans are under flash flood alerts. One woman drowned yesterday in Highland Falls, Westchester, as she tried to leave her home. The town sits on the banks of the Hudson river, just south of West Point - another of the worst hit towns, which is home to the US Military Academy.

UK - An unsettling trend of disregard for biblical inerrancy and authority has swept through the modern church, ushering in an era of half-hearted fidelity to the Word of God. Popular false teachers like Andy Stanley, who spends the majority of his time belittling the Scriptures and caving to the demands of the modern pagan culture, have paved the way for the erosion of Scripture’s absolute authority. By asserting that Christians should be “unhitched” from the Old Testament and that our faith does not hinge on belief in the Word of God, Stanley departs from the historic view of scriptural inerrancy. It is an alarming departure, demonstrating a clear dilution of the inviolable truth of the Bible.

A "Terf" is a “Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist: an advocate of radical feminism who believes that a trans woman’s gender identity is not legitimate and who is hostile to the inclusion of trans people and gender-diverse people in the feminist movement.”

GERMANY - Voter discontent with Germany's coalition government has reached a high point. The far-right populists are the only opposition party to benefit from this trend, according to the latest Deutschlandtrend survey. There's evidence of a political shift in Germany: The Alternative for Germany (AfD), parts of which are considered right-wing extremists, managed two unprecedented local election victories in the country's east and now fields a district administrator and a mayor for the first time. And in the eastern state of Thuringia, polls recently put the AfD at 34%, way ahead of all other parties.

POLAND - ‘If you want to have good relations with the Russians,’ a senior figure in the Polish government told me yesterday on a brief visit to Warsaw, ‘then you have to be ready to fight them. And you have to be equipped to win.’ Ever since Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine almost 17 months ago, Poland, which shares a 330-mile border with Ukraine and a 250-mile one with the Kremlin’s client state, Belarus, has been steadfast in implementing both these pieces of Realpolitik wisdom. The scale of Polish rearmament is breathtaking, leaving much bigger NATO allies such as France, Britain and Germany behind in its wake.
