📰 Ooopsies: Turns out signing the Hunter Biden letter was a bad idea

Why so many titans of intelligence were willing to risk their hard-won credibility is deeply mysterious. On Monday, in one of his first acts as president, Donald Trump defrocked 50 high priests of U.S. national security. Now deprived of their clearances, if they want to know what's happening in the world, they are reduced, like the rest of us, to reading the newspaper, and waiting for the president to blurt out nuclear codes over brunch at Mar-a-Lago. Once out of government, these former officials usually keep their clearances so they can return to government, or to civilian contracting work that involves government secrets, without friction, and so they can learn secrets and give advice informally. Removing these clearances is petty and personal. But it is Trump's decision to make, and in a week of wacky and unexpected executive orders, it is one of the easier to defend. The order singled out former Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton for special dishonor. Trump accused...

With new countries joining South Africa's case accusing Israel of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip, and a ceasefire potentially enabling war crimes investigators to gather fresh evidence of Israeli atrocities, a leadership shakeup at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) threatens to undermine the campaign for legal accountability. The ICJ's President Nawaf Salam resigned on January 14, 2025 to become Prime Minister of Lebanon, and was succeeded by Justice Julia Sebutinde of Uganda.

US President Donald Trump's return to the center stage of world politics has once again ignited discussions about his peculiar political behavior.

First, the United States' central role remains undeniable, no matter how much others might wish for a multipolar order. Second, Trump's approach - pushing boundaries both literally and figuratively - has proven to be an effective way of achieving goals in today's climate. At the core of Trump's political behavior is a rejection of hypocrisy and duplicity, replaced instead with bluntness and rudeness. He insists on getting what he wants and disregards counterarguments, often repeating the same demands relentlessly. Trump does not pretend to treat other nations as equals to the United States, nor does he hide this belief. In his worldview, international equality does not exist. The...

It needs to end to a negotiation. In any negotiation, both sides are going to have to give something up.

🎖️ An incursion of drones: An attempt to make sense of the recent phenomena

Since about mid-November of 2024, an incursion of aerial 'drones' on the East Coast (primarily in New Jersey and New York) has been spotted by hundreds if not thousands of witnesses. They are seen mostly at night and have been repeatedly observed in the airspace above sensitive military bases and installments, such as the Picatinny Arsenal Military Base and the Naval Weapons Station Earle (NJ). The drones have been so persistent in the skies above some of our military bases that the FAA was compelled to issue a temporary flight restriction, something which the drones have chosen to ignore. Due to public pressure, the Morris County Prosecutor's Office (NJ) issued a statement on November 19th declaring that the drones pose "no known threat to public safety." How they can be certain of this without knowing precisely the nature and capabilities of these so-called 'drones' seems rather premature.

The country has grappled with a surge in gang-related shootings and bombings in recent years. In 2023, Sweden had one of the highest levels of deadly gun violence per capita in Europe, with internationally connected gangs increasingly recruiting children. Kristersson said the government would push the legislation to enter into force "in the fall of 2025," allowing police to access mobile phones and electronically wiretap children under the age of 15.

At a garage sale in Minnesota, an antiques collector bought a thick impasto oil painting of a fisherman for less than $50. Now, some experts believe, it may be a long-lost van Gogh. The painting in question, titled Elimar (1889), would have been created while the artist was at the Saint-Paul psychiatric sanitarium in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, into which he checked himself, between May 1889 and May 1890. During that time, he painted some 150 canvases, including such masterpieces as Almond Blossom (1890), Irises (1889), and The Starry Night (1889). Elimar depicts a fisherman with a white chin-beard and a round hat holding a pipe in his mouth transfixed as he repairs his net along a desolate shore. The word "Elimar", presumed to be the man's name, is scrawled in the lower righthand corner. It measures 18 by 16 inches.

But the truth is, it's been killed by the same subsidies and crooked market that birthed it. The Big Government Blob distorted the free market, and created a boom in solar power. But the business case was not that good, there was no miracle in the storage of electricity, nobody wanted fried birds, and the subsidies kept forcing more solar power generation in at the same useless time of day. Since there were too many generators at lunchtime and not enough customers, the last surviving part of the free market has solved the imbalance.

💱 Pyramidal structure discovered in Chupacigarro, Peru

Archaeologists excavating the Chupacigarro archaeological site have discovered a previously unknown pyramidal structure. Chupacigarro is part of the Caral Archaeological Zone, located just one kilometre west of the Sacred City of Caral in the Supe valley of Peru's Lima region. Caral was the main city of the Caral civilisation, a complex Pre-Columbian people that flourished between the fourth and second millennia BC. Caral is considered one of the oldest urban centres in the Americas, which many archaeologists attribute as the model for the urban design adopted by various Andean civilisations that followed. Situated in a small ravine, Chupacigarro was part of a larger network of settlements in the Supe Valley, serving as a key point along a communication route that linked the valley to the Huaura coast, enabling trade and resource exchange.

A British farmer has revealed why butchers are flogging meat from China after a mum was furious to find her farm-shop cuts were sourced from thousands of miles away. Ben Aveling, who runs a farm shop in Northamptonshire, raises all his meat with wife Vicky on the family farm. Mr Aveling does all his own butchery and only buys in local produce if he is ever short on a product. But he explained that is not across the board as some struggling business owners may rely on bringing meat from abroad, such as chicken breasts, as a way to 'get people through the door' as it can be cheaper. 'It's a difficult one, really, because you think when you go to a certain butcher that you're buying local produce but most of the time, you don't really know', he told MailOnline. All meat imports from China must have an official health certificate which confirms that the meat is safe for human consumption and meets UK standards.
