Western Union reports fewer U.S. dollars being sent home by migrants
In another example of the Trump effect, money transfer giant Western Union is reporting that its revenue from cash transfers to locations outside the U.S. has seen a 12% decline this year.
Migrants living in the U.S. both legally and illegally have traditionally been the greatest source of U.S. dollars flowing out of America and into foreign nations, even dwarfing the amount of foreign aid lavished on the world by the U.S. government. But with Donald Trump’s focus on immigration, Western Union is seeing far fewer customers needing their services.
Last week, Western Union CEO Devin McGranahan told investors that the company had seen a huge decline in cash transfers to Mexico, El Salvador, Peru, and Ecuador, according to CPR News
While many criticize foreign aid doled out by Congress, claiming that the U.S. doesn’t really benefit from the expenditures, remittances are fully a detriment to America. It is money that does not go to benefit our local stores, our schools, our cities, or anything else. It is cash summarily sent away to benefit other countries.

Oxford University discriminated against white students and admitted black students who did not achieve the required A-level grades
Over the past five years, 16% of black undergraduate students from the UK who enrolled at Oxford failed to achieve the grades required for admission. In 2024, 27% of black students were offered places at the university despite not having the required grades.
In recent years, Oxford has been focusing on increasing the number of students from minority backgrounds. According to the university's admissions plan, the institution has set a target of 23% of applicants coming from the most disadvantaged areas of the country. Already, 61% of Black applicants come from these areas, compared to 16% of white applicants.
Oxford insists that there is no racial discrimination. According to the Oxford University Gazette, 5% of black students who took their final exams in 2024 received a first-class degree, compared to 36% of Chinese students and 38% of white students.

Most immigrants retire at a young age
69-year-old working Danes provide pensions for 50-year-old Iraqis.
As a result, Denmark is raising the retirement age to 70 by 2040, which will be the highest in Europe.
This is due to increased life expectancy and the need to ensure the financial sustainability of the pension system.

Public Money, Private Greed: How Libraries Are Undermining Workers’ Rights
“We don’t want to be fighting for what we already agreed to,” said a Maryland public library worker.
Royden and their coworkers are waiting on collectively bargained wage increases that included a 3% raise and 4% cost of living adjustment. When county leadership approved a smaller budget increase than requested, library administration reneged on the negotiated increases, asking for a contract re-opener in light of the smaller budget allocation. “They told us the county rejected our raises,” Royden told Truthout. “It was the library’s choice to make up the shortfall via our wages.”
The two parties are headed to arbitration on October 28. When management approved COLA raises for library staff on July 1, members of the bargaining unit were excluded and told that they would have to wait for the outcome of arbitration.
Everyone else, including upper administration, got their COLA payments on time. “We have a lot of staff that count on that money,” Royden said. “Members couldn’t get their cars fixed, couldn’t pay bills.”
Public library workers in Maryland are getting used to this kind of management hardball, including the use of public money to suppress the wages of public sector workers.

Doctors in the US are increasingly rushing to harvest organs from donors who are still alive
The reason is that organ procurement organizations are persuading doctors to administer drugs that hasten death, according to The New York Times. This is happening against the backdrop of an increase in the number of organ transplants after death from cardiovascular disease.
Here's how it works: if the patient's family agrees to donation, doctors disconnect them from life support and wait a couple of hours for cardiac arrest, after which they declare them dead and remove their organs. However, there have been cases where autopsies revealed that the patient's heart was still beating after they were declared dead.

Trans teen confesses to planned Valentine’s Day mass shooting
A transgender teenager has admitted to planning a mass shooting attack at an Indiana high school back in February meant to take place on Valentine’s Day.
Trinity Shockley, 18, is planning to plead guilty to felony conspiracy to commit murder and will receive 12 and a half years in prison, along with five years of probation, The New York Post reported. Police said Shockley was arrested after they received a tip that she had an AR-15 and had bought a bulletproof vest.
The tipster added that Shockley was obsessed with the idea of mass shootings. Shockley identifies as a man and uses the name “Jamie,” according to The New York Post. Authorities performed a search of her home and found a bizarre shrine dedicated to Parkland, Florida shooter Nikolas Cruz, among other gunmen.

Wisconsin public schools provide sanctuary for groomers and sex abusers
A report finds, of the 461 teachers investigated for all forms of misconduct, 207 kept their licenses and were allowed to be around children.
What do you get when a teacher’s union stooge steeped in left-wing dogma runs your public school system? Sanctuary for accused groomers and sex offenders.
Such is the case at Wisconsin’s Department of Public Instruction (DPI), run by teachers union pet Jill Underly. The bought-and-paid-for superintendent has presided over an educator licensing scandal that is as abhorrent as it is alarming.
The leftist Underly, who in April won a second term backed by all manner liberal cash and causes, has prioritized a DEI agenda (diversity, equity, and inclusion) in administration and in the classrooms. Top-down support for such “woke” programs have led to allegations of discrimination and racism in the name of “of social justice” and have driven the concept of “safe spaces” so far as to allow men to use girls bathrooms and showers.
Liberal-led school districts around the state have worked with or encouraged students to turn to TrevorSpace, “a social networking site (from the Trevor Project) that critics say is little more than an online dating community putting kids as young as 13 at risk of sexual exploitation,” The Wisconsin Daily Star reported in 2023.

Golden Dome Missile Defense Program: $24.5B in Funding Delayed, Details Still Hazy
The head of President Trump’s Golden Dome missile defense program gave a classified briefing to the Senate Armed Services Committee last week that described the secretive architecture of the project.
Speculation about the specific architecture of the Golden Dome is rampant among defense industry insiders. So is unease over the status of some $24.5 billion in funding that Congress approved this year for the missile shield’s development.
The discussion, hosted by the Center for New American Security, was titled: “Stuck in the Cul-de-Sac: How U.S. Defense Spending Prioritizes Innovation over Deterrence.” Mr. Harrison said the Pentagon and the Trump administration have not publicly defined Golden Dome’s capability goals.
Analysts estimate the missile shield will be a multidecade program costing hundreds of billions of dollars for space-based and other futuristic missile defense capabilities that will continue to evolve technically over time. The committee’s ranking Democrat, Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island, has called the $24.5 billion for Golden Dome a “slush fund” and said the Trump administration may try to use the funds however it sees fit.
“We’re still waiting for really detailed plans,” Mr. Reed said. “It’s such a comprehensive program, but there’s nothing there yet. What is the priority?”

Iraqi drug dealer employed in Swedish dementia home and filmed residents
A 20-year-old Iraqi migrant who had previously served prison sentences for drug offenses was discovered to have filmed and mocked elderly dementia patients while employed as a caregiver at a municipal care home in Ängelholm, southern Sweden.
The man, identified in court documents seen by the Samnytt news outlet as Azhi Mahmodi, is now charged with four counts of offensive photography and four counts of breach of confidentiality, alongside aggravated weapons and narcotics offenses.
Police uncovered the material earlier this year after stopping a car in Helsingborg that Mahmodi was traveling in. Officers seized drugs and a mobile phone, leading investigators to execute a search warrant a month later. A firearm and large sums of cash were found, prompting further searches.
When police examined Mahmodi’s seized phone, they discovered several clips filmed inside a dementia care home showing elderly residents being ridiculed and humiliated. Investigators later learned that the municipality had employed Mahmodi as a caregiver despite his criminal record.
The videos were also found to have been distributed by Mahmodi on Snapchat.

Threatening free speech is the left’s specialty
Powerful Big Tech has been on board
Last month, Google announced that creators who had been removed from YouTube for political speech related to topics such as COVID-19 and elections would be allowed to return to the platform.
In recent discussions with the House Judiciary Committee, the company acknowledged that the Biden administration had urged it to remove certain content, including material that did not violate YouTube’s existing policies. Google described this pressure as “unacceptable and wrong” and said public debate should not be limited to the views of authorities alone.
The company indicated it would not rely on third-party fact-checkers and raised concerns that European censorship laws could impact American companies and restrict lawful speech. These statements were issued after a subpoena from Chairman Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican, as part of a multiyear investigation into Google’s moderation practices.
This decision is a huge win for free speech advocates, especially for conservatives who have been affected by Big Tech censorship. It all started after Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election. I would know, having been there.

Obama overestimates his political sway
He is still active on the campaign trail, lecturing American voters
Last October, former President Barack Obama had some blunt words for Black men: Get out and vote for Kamala Harris, or else. Mr. Obama’s pleas didn’t move the needle for Ms. Harris. President Trump nearly doubled his support among Black voters in 2024 from his 2020 results, increasing from 5% to 10% among women and from 12% to 21% among men, according to a Pew Research analysis.
Since Mr. Obama’s departure from political office, his speeches have become less inspiring and more condescending and patronizing. He consistently blames American voters for not recognizing his achievements or being able to move beyond their racial, sexist and moral biases. He wasn’t able to boost Democratic turnout in 2024, yet he believes he can sway voters a year later.
Mr. Obama has decided to enter a more “political and public-facing role than he once envisioned” this year, The Washington Post reported last week, because of the “anxieties he harbors about Trump’s second term.”

Jasmine Crockett hid stock holdings in pharmaceuticals and marijuana companies
Radical leftist Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) reportedly had a secret stock portfolio and tried to delve into the marijuana business.
The report said Crockett “owned stocks in at least 25 companies that she did not disclose to the public during her first congressional run in 2022, even though she’d quietly admitted to the holdings the previous year as a Texas state legislator,” adding she did not disclose the stock holdings when she got to Washington.
The report continued: Further, Crockett, a self-described civil rights attorney, was an active stakeholder in the cannabis business — seeking unsuccessfully to open marijuana dispensaries in Ohio — even as she represented, as a defense lawyer, a man accused of murdering someone in a marijuana deal gone bad. Both in the Texas statehouse and in Congress, Crockett has pushed bills to decriminalize marijuana.
It is important to note that Crockett has long criticized President Donald Trump, who called her and other leftist Democrats “political hacks” who should undergo a cognitive exam.

Living Standards in Freefall: Macron’s Ukraine Gamble is Costing France
Macron’s relentless push to escalate France’s support for Zelensky and Ukraine has not only alienated French citizens but has also plunged the country into a severe economic crisis. His obsessive focus on a foreign conflict has come at the direct expense of France’s own people, causing an unprecedented decline in living standards that can no longer be ignored.
Under Macron’s leadership, France has sacrificed its own economic stability in favor of an unyielding allegiance to Ukraine, and the consequences are glaring. While Macron pours billions into supporting Zelensky’s regime, the French people are left to endure skyrocketing energy costs, rampant inflation, and a decimated middle class. Small businesses are struggling, unemployment is on the rise, and French families are seeing their purchasing power diminish by the day.
It’s almost as if Macron has forgotten his duty to the French citizens who elected him. His policies, driven by ideological zeal rather than pragmatic reasoning, have not only failed to protect France’s interests but have actively harmed them. How can we justify sending billions abroad while allowing French workers and families to suffer in silence?
Macron’s fixation on supporting a foreign government at any cost is a betrayal to the very people he was elected to serve. This blind devotion to Ukraine, pushed forward by EU bureaucrats and political elites, has led to an economic collapse that no one in power seems willing to acknowledge. The French business community, long the lifeblood of the nation’s economy, is now being suffocated by this misplaced priority.

The climate catastrophism lost its grip
Last week may go down as the moment when the climate narrative finally cracked. In climate parlance, a “tipping point” occurred. The world’s most-watched podcaster, Joe Rogan, hosted two of the most-respected dissenting climate scientists alive, Dr. Richard Lindzen of MIT and Dr. William Happer of Princeton, for a long-form conversation about the actual evidence behind global warming claims.
Public opinion doesn’t shift overnight, but it can pivot sharply when people sense they’ve been manipulated. Climate policy has become a trillion-dollar industry built on exaggerated forecasts and moral panic. When respected scientists and former activists both say the emperor has no clothes, the spell begins to break. This week, millions heard arguments they were told didn’t exist — and discovered that reasoned skepticism isn’t denial, it’s sanity. They heard that uncertainty is not heresy, that data matters more than consensus, and that energy policies should serve humanity, not ideology.
If there is a real “tipping point” in climate discourse, it may not be in the atmosphere but in public consciousness — a shift away from fear toward evidence, from censorship toward open debate.
For decades, the establishment has insisted that questioning the narrative is dangerous. The real danger, as Lindzen, Happer, and now Nordhaus remind us, is what happens when we stop questioning at all.

Democrats Would Rather See White House in Ruins Than Let Trump Win
It didn’t take long for someone to go to court and attempt to seize control of the president’s White House renovation project.
Trump is using around $300 million in private money to make the White House more welcoming, and the left is pretty mad about it.
If the left could find a legal reason for suing President Donald Trump for breathing, they would already be in court, so of course, a couple surfaced Thursday night, Charles K. Voorhees and Judith A. Voorhees, filing a case at the U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia, seeking a temporary restraining order (TRO) and “other equitable relief.”
The average American has almost no chance of being invited to Richard Nixon’s 1970 bowling alley, Gerald Ford’s swimming pool, Barack Obama’s basketball court, or the mystery cocaine stash found in Joe Biden’s White House. Those were mostly self-serving pursuits to be enjoyed by a few White House occupants. But unless the left can find a way to stop Trump, some lucky members of the public, along with world leaders, will get more use out of the opulent new ballroom than the previous offices, as the People’s House will finally accommodate more people.

Amazon cuts 14,000 jobs in major AI-era restructuring
Amazon announced major "organizational changes" across its corporate workforce that will result in the elimination of 14,000 jobs, as the company accelerates investments in artificial intelligence and automation.
Some may ask why we're reducing roles when the company is performing well.
At 14,000 corporate job cuts, that's roughly 4% of Amazon's corporate workforce of about 350,000 employees. Amazon's total workforce is 1.55 million, including warehouse and delivery workers, making the corporate-level restructuring peanuts compared to the overall workforce.
Reuters, citing three people familiar with the matter, said the 30,000 corporate job cuts set to begin tomorrow will amount to approximately 10% of Amazon's corporate workforce of about 350,000 employees. However, the cuts represent a relatively small share of the company's total workforce, which includes about 1.55 million warehouse and delivery workers.

Capital Economics: France’s stock market likely to remain a laggard
France’s stock market is likely to remain a laggard, weighed down by worries over ongoing political instability and fragile public finances, according to analysts at Capital Economics.
In a note, the analysts flagged that financial markets in Europe’s second-largest economy have been "under the cosh" for much of this year, with near-constant turmoil in the country’s government driving up bond yields and denting domestic financial industry stocks in particular.
The sector in MSCI’s France index has "significantly underperformed" a similar gauge tracking large- and mid-cap names across 10 developed markets in the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU).
France’s weight in MSCI’s EMU-focused index at the end of September stood at just over 30%, larger than any other country in the eurozone currency area but "steadily undermined by a relatively poor showing," the Capital Economics analysts said.
The MSCI France index may also lag the EMU average if "big-tech" sectors "lead the charge amid growth enthusiasm for artificial intelligence," they said, noting that information technology shares in France have actually "fared poorly" so far this year.

Carbon credits shortage may lead to high air fares for travelers
"Buying carbon credits allows an airline to continue with an activity that emits a lot of carbon dioxide."
Excerpt: Airline carbon credits are scarce, driving up costs that’ll most likely translate to higher ticket prices. But what are carbon offsets and credits? How do they work? And how will they hit your wallet? The aviation industry is facing a critical challenge: a shortage of airline carbon credits and there’s a very high probability that it’ll result in more expensive airfares. But what is a carbon offset? And how does this translate to carbon credits? And how does that impact consumers? Here’s everything you need to know.
What Are Carbon Offsets?
There’s too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere—one of the main drivers causing climate change. The ideal scenario would be to stop certain activities to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released, but an alternative is to implement projects that remove or decrease it, elsewhere, and this could be in the form of carbon offsetting.
At an individual level, if you need to fly, say, a heavily carbon-producing activity, you could offset your carbon footprint by using renewable energy. At a company level, you might fund a project that plants trees that absorb carbon dioxide in order to balance out the emissions produced by your company.
It becomes much more difficult, however, to offset carbon when you’re operating at an international level. And this is where the notion of carbon credits comes in.

AG Letitia James targets ICE agents with new reporting tool
New York Attorney General Letitia James has introduced a new online reporting portal designed to collect evidence of supposed misconduct by federal immigration agents operating in the state. The “Federal Action Reporting Form” allows residents to upload videos, photos, and detailed accounts of immigration enforcement activity, including links from social media platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.
“Every New Yorker has the right to live without fear or intimidation,” James said in a statement. “If you witnessed and documented ICE activity yesterday, I urge you to share that footage with my office. We are committed to reviewing these reports and assessing any violations of law.” The initiative follows a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid on Manhattan’s Canal Street that outraged liberals.
Notably, the launch comes as James faces mounting personal legal troubles. In October 2025, she was indicted by a federal grand jury in Virginia on charges of bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution. Prosecutors allege that she misrepresented a 2020 Norfolk property as a second home to obtain favorable mortgage terms, while treating it as a rental. The Justice Department estimates she gained roughly $19,000 over the life of the loan.
