Behind the seemingly pointless noise and bluster of American politics, there are a few key factors that explain how we got where we are today. Exhibit A: the Supreme Court.  

It did not evolve to its current 6-to-3 conservative majority by accident. What tipped the scales, in fact, was a 50-year right-wing project that can be traced back to a single secret memo — a brief document that laid out what a sympathetic Court could do to protect corporate America.

Alors que le monde est en train de sortir douloureusement de la pandémie de Covid-19, de nouvelles inquiétudes semblent dominer les marchés mondiaux et pourraient avoir des conséquences importantes sur les économies. Ces inquiétudes mélanges les risques sanitaires, économiques et géopolitiques.

Earlier on Thursday the Biden administration and US intelligence came out with some explosive and outlandish claims, saying Russia is planning to release a video depicting graphic scenes of a “staged false explosion with corpses, actors depicting mourners, and images of destroyed locations and military equipment,” as CNN described it.

AVDIIVKA, Ukraine — There isn’t any sense of panic in the streets of Avdiivka, a small city in Eastern Ukraine, only a few kilometers from the border with Russia. People go around as normal, and if it were not for the visible signs of war, it would be difficult to guess that the frontline is close by. Bullet marks pock the walls of tall apartment blocks on the outskirts of the city, and artillery fire has ripped large holes in the facades of the buildings.

As the coronavirus continues to surprise us with new variants, many folks are flummoxed by mandates and protocols that are vague, confusing, and changing daily. In this series, our correspondents around the country report on their region’s messaging and management of the latest stage of the pandemic.

A major special forces raid believed part of a mission to kill or capture terrorists happened overnight in al-Qaeda held Idlib province of northwest Syria. Eyewitnesses observed helicopter gunships and jets active in the area of the village of Atmeh near the Turkish border for over two hours, including gunfire on the ground, in what’s being called the biggest such raid since the 2019 killing of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

As if Lebanon needed more chaos, one of the country’s most iconic leaders is abandoning politics and taking his Sunni party with him, handing another victory to the Iranian-backed Hezbollah.

Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri made the surprise announcement about his political future from his home on January 24, while also urging his Future Movement not to run any candidates in the upcoming parliamentary elections, slated for May 15. 

It appears MSNBC, the “news network” that told its viewers the “Let’s Go Brandon!” meme was part of a “slow moving insurrection” among other egregious examples of liberal fearmongering, is now suddenly convinced that “cancel culture” is toxic and needs to be “put behind us” – all because poor Whoopi Goldberg has now seen her multi-decade career blow up in her face over her latest antisemetic comments.

The White House has pulled the trigger on a fresh troop deployment which marks the first amid the still ratcheting Russia-Ukraine crisis, days after President Biden announced he would bolster US forces in East European allied countries. Senior defense officials have confirmed that 3,000 American troops have been ordered to depart to Poland, Romania, and Germany – after last month they were placed on “alert” as part of ‘prepare to deploy’ status.

Nous avons récemment célébré le 61e anniversaire de l’expression « complexe militaro-industriel » utilisée par le président Dwight D. Eisenhower dans son discours d’adieu du 17 janvier 1961. Son départ et l’arrivée de l’administration Kennedy annonçaient, du moins dans la tradition populaire, la Nouvelle Frontière. Trois ans plus tard, le jeune Kennedy mourrait, un assassinat qui resterait à jamais au centre de l’incrédulité et du mystère collectifs non résolus.

The U.S. is Canada’s largest export buyer for beef and Canada’s largest importer supplier. Any disruption to the meat trade between both countries would have severe consequences for meat processors in Canada and consumers in the US.

Perhaps seeing the massive response to the Canadian truckers’ “Freedom Convoy” this weekend – and, more importantly, their prime ministers’ cowering response before he conveniently tested positive for COVID himself just weeks after receiving his booster – was enough to make the provincial government in Quebec rethink its plans to tax any adult who refuses the vaccine.

Millions of Kids Were Thrust Back Into Poverty After the Child Tax Credit Expired. What’s Next? (Maria)

The author writes, “For millions of children, January has been the cruelest month, thrusting them back into poverty and leaving their families uncertain about how they will keep a roof over their heads and put food on the table. The temporary expansion of the child tax credit expired Dec.

Hours after Spotify said in a statement that it would modify its content policies – which Joe Rogan did not violate, the company clarified  – and adopt a “content advisory” for certain podcast episodes in an effort to placate the snowflakes, Joe Rogan finally broke his silence on the uproar over his podcast in a 10-minute video shared to Instagram.

Before the term “role model,” there was Sidney Poitier. Growing up in the ‘50s, I watched a lot of black-and-white television. There were only a few Black faces on the screen in those days. There was Mantan Moreland, bug-eyed Rochester from TheJack Benny Program, Amos and Andy, Stepin Fetchit, and a sprinkling of other stereotypically Black performers.

Do you think of “Life on Mars?” as not just a song by David Bowie but as a legitimate question? Is “I want to believe” not just another pop culture quote to you but a personal conviction? Then, as Statista’s Florian Zandt details below, you’re a part of the majority of people in the United States at least.

Vladimir Putin is a bad guy. He is an enemy of democracy — not just in Russia but also abroad. He despises a free press and has journalists killed. He has used his position of power to enrich himself and, under his authoritarian rule, Russia has been a destabilizing force in the world. Finally, he seems to be pursuing a vision of reassembling the pieces of the former Soviet Union and restoring it to its place among global superpowers.

In late December, our kids’ school in Newport Beach, CA, sent out an email encouraging families to self-test for COVID-19 before classes resumed. According to emails we received from the school, more than a dozen kids stayed home that first week of January, and the numbers continued to rise in the second and third week. With Zoom lessons mostly eliminated, a COVID-19 infection now means double the work for a child to catch up with their classmates.

Jacques SAPIR est un économiste, chercheur à l’EHESS, spécialiste des questions monétaires, de la mondialisation et du protectionnisme.

Très critique de l’euro, une monnaie qui a fait la preuve de son échec, Jacques Sapir explique notamment en quoi le protectionnisme est la voie la plus logique vers un système économique fonctionnel, assurant notre sécurité et notre pouvoir d’achat.

Pourquoi est-ce que les économistes se plantent, pourquoi continue-t-on vers l’impasse ? C’est ce que l’on va voir.

In her view, we are in a “pandemic of corruption,” fostered by a network of corrupt businesses and political leaders worldwide. Before we can begin to set things right, however, we first have to grasp what modern-day corruption really is.
