USA - President Donald Trump’s executive order ending all federal DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) programs has already resulted in 395 government bureaucrats being placed on leave, a senior administration official told Fox News Digital. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Trump’s new department headed by Elon Musk, said on Friday that an estimated $420 million in current and impending contracts, mostly focused on DEI, have been canceled. Prior to being inaugurated, Trump vowed to end former President Joe Biden’s “diversity, equity, and inclusion mandates,” and “return our country to the merit system.” On his first day as president, he issued an executive order ending the “radical and wasteful government DEI programs and preferencing.”

USA - According to a source within US Customs and Border Protection, the Border Patrol is applying a legal process known as Expedited Removal on a broad scale along the southwest border. The agency is now returning migrants to Mexico soon after apprehension. The source told Breitbart Texas, “‘Catch and Release’ is over, it’s ‘Catch and Return’ now.” According to the source, within the Tucson Sector of the Border Patrol, where migrants from hundreds of countries flooded the Organ Pipe National Monument area daily and were quickly released by the Biden administration, the source says migrants are now processed for Expedited Removal and sent back into Mexico or their home country immediately.

UK - The number represents some 60% of the UK’s total population of undocumented immigrants, according to a new study. Upwards of 600,000 illegal migrants are living in London, The Telegraph has reported, citing a new study. This figure represents some 60% of the over one million illegal immigrants believed to be living in the UK.

USA - President Donald Trump said he wants Jordan, Egypt and other Arab nations to accept more Palestinian refugees from the Gaza Strip. Trump said he spoke with King Abdullah II of Jordan on Saturday and that he had a call scheduled on Sunday with President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi of Egypt. “I’d like Egypt to take people,” Trump said on Air Force One on Saturday. “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say, ‘You know, it’s over.’” Hamas and Israel reached a ceasefire deal that has resulted in the release of hostages and Palestinian prisoners.

GERMANY - A leading German politician has unveiled a plan to crack down on migration, promising to table controversial motions that would immediately bring about a blanket ban on all illegal migrants entering the country. Friedrich Merz, the leader of the conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU), this weekend announced the shocking move which will bring about a parliamentary vote to 'end illegal immigration'. The motion, if passed, would trigger an immediate declaration of a national emergency and enact a lockdown across all of Germany's land borders, with guards instructed to repel 'all attempts at illegal entry, without exception', even from neighbouring 'safe' countries. Another of his proposed motions would grant Germany's federal police service greater powers to arrest and accelerate the deportation of illegal immigrants, according to German media.

GERMANY - Tech billionaire Elon Musk has made a surprise address at an Alternative for Germany (AfD) campaign event, telling supporters of the right-wing party that Germans should not “focus on past guilt.” The AfD kicked off its election campaign with a rally in the city of Halle on Saturday, where party leader Alice Weidel promised to deliver hardline anti-immigration policies and end Berlin’s military and financial aid to Kiev. However, before Weidel took the stage, Musk addressed the 4,500-strong crowd by video link, urging them to reject multiculturalism and to “be proud of German culture [and] German values.” “Children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents, let alone their great grandparents,” he said, in an apparent reference to Germany's Nazi past. “There is too much focus on past guilt, and we need to move beyond that,” he added.

USA - The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, spoke today to AfD members in Halle, Germany, via video feed. Elon’s image was broadcast live at the AfD rally in front of thousands of excited AfD members. Elon stressed that the coming election “could decide the fate of Europe, and maybe the fate of the world.” Elon did not hold back.

GERMANY - Germany’s center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) has said that it will implement strict immigration laws even if it has to enlist the support of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) to pass them. The move marks the first time a mainstream German party has agreed to work with the AfD and stands in stark contrast with the policy of former CDU leader and Chancellor Angela Merkel known for her lenient approach to migration. In a letter to party members seen by Politico on Friday, CDU leadership said that its lawmakers would introduce harsh immigration restrictions even “if only the AfD supports our proposals.”

GERMANY - The likely next Chancellor of Germany has categorically ruled out a coalition between his supposedly centre-right conservative party and the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD), opting instead to partner with a leftist party. Appearing at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland this week, Christian Democratic Union (CDU) leader Friedrich Merz said that he will “never” allow “right-wing populists into a government, which is led by me.”

USA - President Donald Trump has restored single-sex prisons, sending male inmates who identify as women back to men’s facilities. The approximately 1,500 male federal prisoners who identify as women will now be sent to men’s facilities in the wake of President Trump’s executive order establishing single-sex prisons, according to a report by the New York Times. President Trump’s executive order, titled, “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” also ends transgender-related medical procedures for prison inmates.

USA - Pete Hegseth, a former Fox News personality and decorated Army veteran, was sworn in as the 29th US Secretary of Defense on Saturday, following a narrow and contentious Senate confirmation. In his inaugural address to the military, Secretary Hegseth emphasized his commitment to “restoring the warrior ethos, rebuilding our military, and re-establishing deterrence.”

USA - President Trump spoke in Las Vegas on Saturday afternoon, where he announced plans to make good on his “No Tax on Tips” promise. “Can you remember that little statement about tips?” Trump previously said on inauguration day. “I think we won Nevada because of that statement.” Early in his speech, Trump spoke about Biden and the Democrats' destruction of our country through crippling regulations, inflation, and a wide-open southern border. He also attacked the Democrats' climate change hysteria as he championed his ending of the "incredibly wasteful" Green New Deal, withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord, and cancelation of Biden's "insane and costly" electric car mandates.

SWITZERLAND - Since at least 2020, the World Economic Forum has argued in favor of giving nature, rivers, valleys, and streams personhood. According to a previous article on the WEF website, granting legal personhood to forests, rivers, and species could give them the best chance of survival and renewal. But in order to do this, the paganist group claims, “you must listen to and understand the language of nature” itself. The pagan movement to grant nature personhood took off last year when Canada classified the Quebec River a person under the law. This label protects the river from harm by humans. On Thursday, a Davos speaker again encouraged world leaders to start granting personhood to nature. THEY WON’T PROTECT THE LIFE OF A FETUS IN THE WOMB BUT THEY WANT TO GIVE RIVERS AND CANYONS THE SAME RIGHTS AS A HUMAN BEING.

USA - Right now, a tremendous awakening is happening as people all over the world become educated about the tools that the elite use to enslave us to their system. The number one tool that they use to enslave us is debt. The financial powers of the world use it to enslave individuals, corporations and governments. For thousands of years humanity has been taught the proverb that “the borrower is the servant of the lender”, and yet today billions of people around the globe have willingly made themselves servants of the money powers.

SWITZERLAND - The world’s patience with Great Reset, net-zero carbon, and similar schemes has waned as economic realities continue to intrude on elites’ misguided priorities. Their climate agenda has fallen apart. The global net-zero emission alliances (Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero) launched in 2021 have disintegrated. The global Net-Zero Insurance Alliance fell apart last year. The Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative suspended its activities earlier this month after its largest member, Blackrock, withdrew. And the Net Zero Banking Alliance has seen most major US banks withdraw in the last month, with four Canadian banks following suit last week.
