German military seeks massive troop boost to meet NATO goals
Memo by a top commander calls for more than doubling the size of the German military over the next decade. - POLITICO - Chris Lunday and Gordon RepinskiThe German military is pressing for a dramatic expansion of its ranks by 2029 and beyond as it looks to become Europe's dominant army...
The paper, sent to the defense ministry and Bundeswehr inspector general earlier this month, argues that only a much larger army will give Germany the credibility to deter adversaries and fight a high-intensity war alongside allies...
- Chancellor Friedrich Merz has pledged to turn the Bundeswehr into “Europe’s strongest conventional army” and take a greater responsibility for the continent's defense — a promise that thrilled NATO allies but raised questions at home about how to deliver the numbers.
The Green Agenda Turned New England Into an Energy Price Punchline | RealClearEnergy
Every month, the electric bill arrives, and it’s larger than the month before. - Daniel TurnerThe region pays more for electricity than almost anyone else in America—higher than the national average and, outside of Alaska and Hawaii, higher than anywhere else in the country.
This is not a coincidence.
- It is the inevitable result of politicians who pushed the risky and unreliable green agenda while forcing reliable power plants off the grid.
- When Joe Biden took office, electricity in New England cost 20.7 cents per kilowatt-hour.
- By the time he left, it was more than 28.2 cents. That’s a staggering spike of more than 36% in just four years...

He lied. His team lied. All of Big-Med lied!-----Obamacare destroyed the health insurance market, Trump is rebuilding it - American Thinker
For years, the Democrats have maintained their goal to take away freedom of choice on health care, wanting government health care for all. - Jack Hellner
- The misnamed “Affordable Care Act” took away freedom of choice, forcing everyone to buy a Rolls Royce policy, which obviously made premiums skyrocket.
- if you liked your plan and doctor you could keep them, and they intentionally lied when they said
- Obamacare would substantially lower premiums...
- The results of Obamacare are obvious.
- Health insurance is much more unaffordable...
'Last-minute abuse of power': Lawsuit seeks details about Biden's 'accelerated' prosecutions over Jan. 6 * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh
'Last-minute abuse of power': Lawsuit seeks details about Biden's 'accelerated' prosecutions over Jan. 6 * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
It seems there may have been an active agenda under the Joe Biden administration to accelerate prosecutions over the Jan. 6, 2021, protest-turned-riot at the Capitol after President Donald Trump was elected in 2024 and it was clear Biden soon would be out of power.
It was under the Biden administration that judges uniformly held people suspected of offenses like trespassing for months, even years, in prison.
Worldwide!!-----For the first time, more kids are obese than underweight
According to UNICEF’s new Child Nutrition Report, about 9.4 percent of school-age kids (ages 5–19) are living with obesity, compared to 9.2 percent who are underweight. - Pratik Pawar
- Twenty-five years ago, the gap was much wider: Nearly 13 percent of kids were underweight, while just 3 percent had obesity.
It might feel odd to put obesity in the same bucket as underweight; one has long been seen as a problem of scarcity, the other of excess.
But public health experts now define both as forms of malnutrition, which they describe in three dimensions:
- not enough food,
- too much of the wrong food, and
- hidden hunger from micronutrient deficiencies...

Outraged: FBI agents sat on photo of Kirk assassination suspect for 12 hours before briefing Patel * WorldNetDaily * by Jim Hoft, the Gateway Pundit
Outraged: FBI agents sat on photo of Kirk assassination suspect for 12 hours before briefing Patel * WorldNetDaily * by Jim Hoft, the Gateway Pundit:
FBI agents in Salt Lake City reportedly sat on a crucial photo of the suspected assassin who assassinated Charlie Kirk for nearly 12 hours before sharing it with their boss, Director Kash Patel.
This delay prompted an angry response from Patel, who was incensed that he was not informed more quickly.
It appears that the primary reason some on the left justify the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and in some cases even glorify it, is that Charlie Kirk was against 'gender affirming care.'
It appears that the primary reason some on... - Wallace L. Garneau | Facebook - Wallace L. Garneau
- Understand that 'gender affirming care' was sprung on the public for one reason and one reason only - to reduce the suicide rates of trans children, which was four time higher than the national average...
It did not hurt that the cost of such care is about two million bucks per kid, and that this is almost pure profit.
That is not a typo.
- Most parents cannot afford that care, so the AMA pushed for the state to fund it at taxpayer expense...
That is not a typo.
The suicide rate for trans kids is a whopping 12 times higher after 'gender affirming care' than before.
- That is why Charlie Kirk was against it.
