🌧️ Nuclear reduction, ending the Ukraine conflict and massive tax cuts: Key takeaways from Donald Trump's Davos speech

US President Donald Trump spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos via teleconference on Thursday, just days after taking office. He used his speech to promise a "revolution of common sense," telling the audience of business leaders, policymakers, academics and innovators that he was acting "with unprecedented speed" to reverse the policies of the his predecessor, Joe Biden. Here are some key takeaways from his speech. Stopping inflation Trump began by promising to confront the "economic chaos" caused by Biden's "failed policies." "Over the past four years, our government racked up $8 trillion in wasteful deficit spending and inflicted nation-wrecking energy restrictions, crippling regulations and hidden taxes like never before," Trump said. He stated that he has directed his cabinet to "marshal all powers at their disposal" to defeat inflation and reduce the cost of living. He also promised to pass "the largest tax cut in American history," including "massive" reliefs for...

As talk increases of a possible meeting between Presidents Trump and Putin to discuss ending the war, Volodymyr Zelensky is grasping for a Pearl Harbour moment. Specifically, he wants to provoke Russia into a retaliatory strike against NATO that would be so strategically damaging that NATO would be drawn into Ukraine's war with Russia. In that regard, Zelensky is trying to position himself as a modern-day Winston Churchill. Churchill famously said in a radio broadcast on 9 February 1941 addressing President Roosevelt, 'Give us the tools, and we will finish the job.'

The idea of inflicting "strategic defeats" on Russia has been a cornerstone of US policy for a long time. It transcends party lines and is implemented regardless of which administration occupies the White House. The only real differences lie in the methods used to achieve this objective. In this era of global transformation, it is critical for Moscow to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of its opponents. By understanding the nuances of US President Donald Trump's administration - now back in power - Russia must craft its own strategy of resilience and development, rooted in sovereign interests. This is not a new game. In 2014, Foreign Affairs published an article by John Mearsheimer, the renowned American political scientist behind the theory of offensive realism. In his piece, 'Why the Ukraine Crisis is the West's Fault', Mearsheimer argued that NATO's strategic ambitions in Eastern Europe provoked Russia's actions in Crimea and Ukraine.

🇺🇸 Potentially deadly 'chirping waves' detected in baffling location near Earth, and scientists are stumped

Chorus waves are mysterious, chirping signals produced by spiraling plasma inside our planet's magnetic field. But a new detection suggests scientists may understand less about them than first thought. Scientists have detected strange chirping waves — which resemble the dawn chorus of birds — thousands of miles from Earth, and they could pose big problems for future spaceflight. Chorus waves, named because of their resemblance to birdsong when converted to audio signals, are perturbations in Earth's electromagnetic field capable of accelerating particles to potentially deadly speeds for spacecraft and astronauts. Yet while these mysterious waves have been spotted coming from Earth and other planets since the 1960s, scientists previously assumed they only occurred nearby. Now, in a discovery that challenges existing theories, a new team of researchers has spotted the waves at a distance of 100,000 miles (165,000 kilometers) from Earth, roughly three times further than they were...

🤖 Astronomers thought they understood fast radio bursts. A recent one calls that into question.

The new ability to pinpoint sources of fast radio bursts places one recent burst in a surprising location. Astronomer Calvin Leung was excited last summer to crunch data from a newly commissioned radio telescope to precisely pinpoint the origin of repeated bursts of intense radio waves — so-called fast radio bursts (FRBs) — emanating from somewhere in the northern constellation Ursa Minor. Leung, a Miller Postdoctoral Fellowship recipient at the University of California, Berkeley, hopes eventually to understand the origins of these mysterious bursts and use them as probes to trace the large-scale structure of the universe, a key to its origin and evolution. He had written most of the computer code that allowed him and his colleagues to combine data from several telescopes to triangulate the position of a burst to within a hair's width at arm's length. The excitement turned to perplexity when his collaborators on the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) turned...

🌧️ Should we condemn or not the glorification of Nazism?

Russia intervened militarily in Ukraine to denazify the country. But, according to Westerners, there are no Nazis in Ukraine. Russia wants to invade and annex this country. This mutual incomprehension caused the Russian special operation to degenerate into open war. However, several identical facts, which have occurred in the Baltic countries since 2005 and in the European Parliament since 2016, demonstrate that this is not a misunderstanding, but a deliberate NATO strategy. This mobilizes 53 states to oppose the adoption by the United Nations of a traditional resolution against the glorification of Nazism. At the Liberation (that is to say at the end of the Second World War), Westerners were aware of the suffering caused by the ideologies according to which Humanity was divided into distinct races hierarchically arranged among themselves. Everyone understood that the assertion that these "races" could not mix and have fertile offspring was contradicted by the facts and had only...

A new study provides compelling new evidence that a colossal 'megaflood' refilled the Mediterranean Sea, ending a period during which the Med was a vast expanse of salt flats. The study suggests the Zanclean Megaflood ended the Messinian Salinity Crisis, which lasted between 5.97 and 5.33 million years ago. An international team of scientists, including the University of Southampton, have identified a series of geological features around South East Sicily that point to a massive flood taking place across the region. "The Zanclean megaflood was an awe-inspiring natural phenomenon, with discharge rates and flow velocities dwarfing any other known floods in Earth's history," said Dr. Aaron Micallef, lead author of the study and researcher at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in California.

Throughout the interview, Adams tied his indictment on bribery and corruption charges to his decision to speak out against the illegal immigrant surge in New York City. He claimed those who push back on "the norm" within the Democratic party get "demonized."

Applicants were required to submit proof of COVID-19 vaccination before completing medical examinations. "USCIS will not issue any Request for Evidence or Notice of Intent to Deny related to proving a COVID-19 vaccination," the agency stated. "USCIS will not deny any adjustment of status application based on the applicant's failure to present documentation that they received the COVID-19 vaccination." USCIS did not respond to a request for more information, including whether the change applies retroactively.

Smartphones are making teenagers more aggressive, detached from reality and causing them to hallucinate, according to new research. Scientists concluded the younger a person starts using a phone, the more likely they would be crippled by a whole host of psychological ills after surveying 10,500 teens between 13 and 17 from both the US and India for the study, by Sapien Labs. "People don't fully appreciate that hyper-real and hyper-immersive screen experiences can blur reality at key stages of development," addiction psychologist Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, who was not part of the team who did the study, told The Post. "Their digital world can compromise their ability to distinguish between what's real and what's not. A hallucination by any other name. "Screen time essentially acts as a toxin that stunts both brain development and social development," Kardaras explained. "The younger a kid is when given a device, the higher the likelihood of mental health issues later on."

In New Orleans, locals skied down Bourbon Street as the airport recorded 8 inches, smashing the daily record of 2.7 inches.
