Bjorn Lomborg - The global development agenda is alarmingly off track.

The UN’s refusal to focus attention on what matters most has squandered credibility and cash. - Bjørn Lomborg
As leaders gather for tomorrow's summit in Seville, they should re-evaluate global priorities.

Trump Lowers the Hammer on Canada: US Terminating All Trade Discussions 'Effective Immediately'

Trump Lowers the Hammer on Canada: US Terminating All Trade Discussions 'Effective Immediately': 

President Donald Trump announced on Friday that his administration is ending trade talks with Canada, “effective immediately.”

He wrote in a post on Truth Social, “We have just been informed that Canada, a very difficult Country to TRADE with, including the fact that they have charged our Farmers as much as 400% Tariffs, for years, on Dairy Products, has just announced that they are putting a Digital Services Tax on our American Technology Companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our Country.”

Thousands Brace for Layoffs at State Department
On the chopping block are the jobs of hundreds of Foreign Service officers currently stationed in D.C.

While the bureau plays a role in overseeing exchange visitor visas...Rubio raised concerns that Chinese exchange students pose a national security risk and announced he would “aggressively” revoke visas for Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying certain fields, such as semiconductor engineering and aerospace...

Trump praises SCOTUS for disabling Democrats' biggest weapon | Blaze Media

Trump praises SCOTUS for disabling Democrats' biggest weapon | Blaze Media: 

Trump remarked that SCOTUS has effectively struck down the "excessive use of nationwide injunctions" that he said interfere with the normal functions of the executive branch. Indeed, the injunctions had become an often-used tactic by judges appointed by Joe Biden and other Democrat presidents, even in recent weeks.

Why??!!

 

USAID funded the Taliban $40 million a week.

“Samantha Power, the socialist administrator for USAID, was intent on having Israel not be able to defend itself." - Jayne Friedman

Real Robert - And here it is:

Socialism in black and white:

• USAID: paid $2 billion to Gaza AFTER October 7th, with 90% of those funds going to Hamas.

• USAID paid $3 million to a rapper in Gaza to produce antisemitic rap songs.

• “Samantha Power, the socialist administrator for USAID, was intent on having Israel not be able to defend itself."

• USAID funded the Taliban $40 million a week.

Including terror organisations such as:

- Al-Shabab (Ilhan Omar)

- Hamza Network (Sudan)

- Hamas (Gaza)

- Palestinian Islamic Jihad (Gaza)

- Hezbollah (Lebanon)

- Kata’ib Hezbollah (Iraq)

- Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (Syria)

• Many of these organisations have killed US Troops and allied troops.

And USAID effectively self-funds its own external private lobby that then goes back to Congress and bribes members of Congress for more money—— all under the guise of socialism.

As the media STAYS silent!

 

The recycling scam laid bare in California’s leftist heartland - Andrea Widburg

What I discovered a couple of years ago is that, while different trucks drive around collecting blue and green cans on garbage day, at the end of the shift, the trucks dump all the garbage into the same landfill.
It’s a scam that, according to my local representative, makes people feel good about themselves...
It turns out, though, that in Tiburon, California, the garbage collectors haven’t gotten the message. 

• This wonderful video shows that, while good citizens dutifully separate their trash according to complex instructions carefully written out on the garbage cans, the efficient trash collectors are unimpressed. 
• Everything goes into the same bin, then to the same truck, and from there to the same landfill:

The REAL reason Zohran Mamdani won the NYC mayoral primary | Blaze Media: 

"It’s not because he’s charismatic. It’s not because he gets the problems of New Yorkers. It’s not because he ran some phenomenal campaign. It’s none of that,” she explains.

“It’s because of the demographic of voters who voted for him,” she adds

Arlington National Cemetery on X: "On June 2, 2025, Sergeant of the Guard Sgt. 1st Class Andrew Jay took his final walk as a Tomb Guard at Arlington National Cemetery.

In a powerful farewell, he laid roses at each crypt of the Unknown Soldiers, then walked off the plaza hand in hand with his 8-year-old son, Finn.

Highlights of the week - Don Surber

This is what happens when you have a president who can walk up a flight of stairs. - Don Surber

• ITEM 1: Eric Daugherty tweeted, “President Trump has boarded Air Force One and is on his way HOME after a wildly successful NATO trip. He just convinced ALL of NATO to increase their defense spending by billions, to 5% of GDP annually. MASSIVE victory. “Next up is passage of the TAX CUTS and border funding under the Big Beautiful Bill!” This is what happens when you have a president who can walk up a flight of stairs.

ITEM 2: Chief Justice John Roberts finally let a female justice—ACB—write a major decision. It immediately turned into a catfight, “We will not dwell on Justice Jackson’s argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself. We observe only this: Justice Jackson decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary.”

• KBJ replied, “This is why no one sits with you at lunch.”
• ACB responded, “This is why Roberts makes you write your dissents in crayon.”
• ITEM 3: Just to be clear, ACB wrote it but 5 colleagues kept it in. The new kid just isn’t fitting in....MUCH MORE!!
