Social security spending is skyrocketing, with 47.3% of recipients being foreigners
Under the far-left government, beneficiaries received a record 42.6 billion euros in 2023, up from 36.6 billion a year earlier
Germany currently has a record 5.49 million beneficiaries. 47.3% of them are non-German foreigners, up 4% from 2022
In addition, the administrative costs of the Citizens' Assistance Program amounted to another €6.3 billion, an increase of €300 million compared to 2022
In other words, total social security spending amounted to €48.9 billion. Build notes that this figure is 18.4% higher than in 2020 and 122% higher than in 2010

Immigrants are becoming U.S. citizens at the fastest pace in 10 years
The government is reviewing applications filed in a frenzied rabbit mode. New citizens say they are looking forward to voting in November
In ceremonies at courthouses, convention centers and sports arenas across the country, tens of thousands of immigrants each week become new Americans and become eligible to vote just in time for this fall's presidential election. The number of new voters in the states - which determine the outcome of the election - Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and Pennsylvania is growing steadily

"Chris Nemeth, 51, worked in airline logistics until he got the AstraZeneca vaccine in July 2021 and developed chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIPD) which can cause numbness, pain and even paralysis เท the limbs
The world's largest Covid-19 vaccine study released earlier this year found there were potential links between the AstraZeneca vaccine and some medical conditions but these were rare
The research from Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) and published in Vaccine, used an electronic database to leverage large amounts of data to evaluate Covid vaccine safety
The largest study of its kind involved more than 99 million people from Australia, Argentina, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, New Zealand and Scotland"

If everything is so great, why are millions of Americans sleeping in their vehicles?
Have you noticed an unusual number of vehicles in the parking lots of major retailers in your area at night? If you look closely enough, you will see that many of those vehicles actually have people sleeping in them
The primary reason why so many people are living in their vehicles is because the cost of living has soared to unprecedented heights
In particular, the cost of housing has become extremely oppressive. In fact, housing in the United States has become more unaffordable than it has ever been before
In the old days, if you lived in a van down by the river you were considered to be a bum. But in this economy, living in a van down by the river is just considered to be normal
Needless to say, there are some “van lifers” that choose the lifestyle because of the freedom it offers
Please do not look down on those that have been forced to sleep in a vehicle, because with a bit of bad luck just about anyone could end up in the same situation

Clinton Labour Secretary calls for “global regulators” to arrest Elon Musk
Former Secretary of Labor under Bill Clinton, Robert Reich, has declared that
“global regulators” should arrest Elon Musk for spreading “misinformation” and “hate”
“Regulators around the world should threaten Musk with arrest if he doesn’t stop disseminating lies and hate on X,”
“Global regulators may be on the way to doing this, as evidenced by the 24 August arrest in France of Pavel Durov, who founded the online communications tool Telegram, which French authorities have found complicit in hate crimes and disinformation”
“Like Musk, Durov has styled himself as a free speech absolutist,”
Up to the last Ukrainian: Forbes reports on the formation of new Ukrainian mechanized brigades
The Forbes writes that the Kyiv regime continues to form new mechanized brigades, which means that Ukraine intends to continue the war
The Militaryland portal notes that the creation of these brigades requires two components: mobilized manpower and supplies of foreign equipment
Part of the brigades may be formed in Europe and there they will receive part of their personnel from Ukrainian citizens.
It is not clear yet: do the men who have fled to Europe agree to fight, or is this a warming up of public opinion in anticipation of the forced transfer of Ukrainian refugees to Ukrainian troops directly from EU territory?
The second option looks rather doubtful. In the extreme case, under the guise of emigrant formations, it would be possible to start sending units manned by Poles and Romanians to the front line
In any case, the Forbes publication shows that the war will continue until the last Ukrainian

America’s youth are being pushed into a one-size-fits-all college track that saddles many with debt — without preparing them for careers
Nobody on the right or left side of the political aisle denies the urgent need for reform in how the nation funds postsecondary education. America’s young people are being pushed into a one-size-fits-all college track that saddles many with large student debts — too often without preparing them for rewarding careers. But the left’s “solution” — transferring mountains of student debt to taxpayers, many of whom did not attend college — only encourages more bad behavior, including increased student borrowing and reckless spending by unaccountable universities

82 unvaccinated healthcare workers in Canada win arbitration case against hospital that fired them
In a win for those who chose not to get the COVID shots and were fired from their jobs as a result, a Canadian arbitrator ruled that one of the nation’s leading hospitals must compensate 82 healthcare workers terminated after refusing to get the jabs
The ruling, issued by Toronto arbitrator John Stout, concerns 82 healthcare workers who worked for the William Osler Health System (WOHS). Forty of them were fired “with cause” for not getting the COVID shots and 42 were suspended. They are represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees
The company’s COVID jab policy, implemented in 2021, mandated that all workers have at least two COVID shots as a condition of work
Stout noted in his ruling that it was possible to fire staff for not getting the jab, saying, “Not surprisingly, arbitrators have found that a requirement to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in a healthcare setting is reasonable”
But he added that “no arbitral consensus has emerged with respect to the consequences for employees who chose not to be vaccinated or disclose their vaccination status”
Stout also ruled that the hospital must pay the fired and suspended staff because they chose not to go along with the mandates in a manner that had no “malicious intent”

The Harris-Biden admin made America’s debt bomb worse to win an election
The White House has been weaponizing economic policy to temporarily inflate the stock market — but they can’t hide the impact of overspending forever
The U.S. economy is slowing, and economic health is weaker than the Harris-Biden administration’s economic data has led investors to believe. Last week, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the U.S. added 818,000 fewer jobs over the last 12 months (from March 2023 to March 2024) than previously reported. The largest reductions to estimated job-gains were in high-paying professional and manufacturing jobs, too
A large reason for the miss is that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has incorrectly estimated the start and death of businesses (the birth-death adjustment) since the Covid lockdowns and stimulus, which has incorrectly pushed estimates of job creation higher
The birth-death adjustment was likely skewed post-stimulus because of the many business entities opened to facilitate PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) loan fraud. This could mean a large number of added jobs since 2021 are fake. Even if the data is correct, most of the existing gains have gone to foreign born workers

Climate change lawsuits gaining in popularity as climate alarmists try to protect their profit stream
According to the journal Nature, 2,666 climate litigation cases had been filed around the world by the end of last year. Not surprisingly, the U.S. was leading the world in climate litigation cases with 1,745, followed by the UK with 139 and Australia and Brazil with 132 and 82, respectively. Just 8% of the recorded cases came from low and middle income countries
Some of them are related to the fact that the Paris Climate Agreement, which is considered legally binding, saw countries vow to keep their average temperatures within 1.5 degrees Celsius of their pre-Industrial levels. It's considered nearly impossible to measure this accurately thanks to the imprecision involved in measuring temperatures down to a tenth of a degree, especially in pre-industrial times
Many of the companies that are facing these lawsuits are not fossil fuel companies, although they are often targets of the climate change crowd despite alarmists themselves still relying on fossil fuels. Instead, the targets are companies that produce a variety of goods and services ranging from tobacco and paper to media and health services
A considerable number of these lawsuits are filed by NGOs and individuals who stand to gain from perpetuating the belief that it is possible for these companies to control the climate

Sad: X ban leaves Brazilians without reliable access to AI-generated images of Elon Musk and Donald Trump riding dinosaurs through the death star
After a corrupt judge enacted a nationwide ban on social media platform X, human rights activists warn that the ban will likely limit Brazilians' access to awesome AI-Generated images of free-speech warrior Elon Musk riding dinosaurs with Donald Trump through the Death Star
Judge Alexandre de Moraes took time out of his busy schedule of creating horcruxes and casting the ‘Avada Kadavera" curse last week to ban X for refusing to adhere to Brazil's strict censorship laws
"Specifically we're concerned about access to a very cool image of Elon Musk and Donald Trump riding dinosaurs through the halls of the Death Star," said human rights activist Janice McMannis
"I mean, just think of the societal impact in the country if vulnerable and poverty-stricken Brazilians aren't able to access these essential, epic, and very based resources."

What do Intel and Boeing have in common?
Both corporations, once market leaders, are now in a state of collapse. Monopolism has not done them any good. Intel and Boeing are rapidly losing market capitalization, are making mass layoffs, and may go bankrupt
This is causing great concern in Washington. After all, corporations have extensive government contracts. Boeing is already failing the U.S. space program, pushing back the launch of astronauts to the moon. And the Pentagon is having problems with Boeing's refueling planes
Intel is in a similar situation. The corporation was promised tens of billions of dollars in subsidies for import substitution of chips. Intel was supposed to become a symbol of the revival of the US high-tech industry. As a result, this symbol freezes the construction of factories and layoffs staff
Again, the Pentagon was also under attack. It has allocated billions of dollars to Intel to build factories for military use. This program is called Secure Enclave - it should ensure the production of chips for fighter jets, missiles, submarines and other weapons on U.S. territory. The factories want to be located in Ohio - away from the zone of potential conflict with China
But now the future of these factories is murky. The Pentagon is hurriedly trying to reduce its dependence on China, which in some areas - the same rare earths - reaches 90%
It seems that the US dependence on Asian countries will not go anywhere with chips. And in case of a hot conflict, the lack of chips, rare earths and everything else will put the U.S. military-industrial complex in a very difficult situation

U.S. rights watchdog cites ‘a climate of fear’ in Uganda oil development project
Oil activities on the shores of Uganda’s Lake Albert have triggered widespread suffering among locals facing forced displacement and other violent abuses, a U.S. climate watchdog said
The report by Climate Rights International says banks and insurers should withhold further funding for an oil development project run by the China National Offshore Oil Corporation, or CNOOC
The project, one of two linked to the planned construction of a heated pipeline that would link Uganda’s emerging oil fields to a port in Tanzania, involves the construction of a central processing facility in a vast zone of shoreline that many locals can no longer access
The report is the first of its kind to detail serious allegations against CNOOC, one of a number of partners in the project. Based on dozens of interviews, it cites forced evictions, inadequate or nonexistent compensation for land and other assets, coercion and intimidation in land acquisition, loss of livelihood and sexual violence

Pelosi celebrates bill allowing illegal immigrants to buy homes with American tax dollars
The program gives first-time homebuyers loan assistance of up to 20% of a property’s value with a cap of $150,000
Former Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi celebrated a bill that would allow illegal immigrants to buy homes with taxpayer loans in her home state of California
“Making the American dream of homeownership available to all people is something we have to do,” the Bay Area congresswoman said in a Friday interview with Bill Maher
Pelosi was responding to a question about state lawmakers passing a bill last week to expand eligibility for a government program which offers residents home down payment assistance
Under Assembly Bill 1840, the California Housing Finance Authority would be compelled to consider applications from illegal immigrants for the “Dream for All Program.” The fund gives first-time homebuyers loan assistance of up to 20% of a property’s value with a cap of $150,000. Buyers then pay back the loan plus up to 20% of any property appreciation depending on income

Global oil demand won't fall. Production cuts will lead to price shock
▪️ ExxonMobil, the largest US oil company, has said oil demand will remain above 100 million barrels a day until 2050. The energy transition will fail to curb the world's need for fossil fuels and cutting oil production will trigger a new energy price shock, the UK-based Financial Times states
▪️ "Any move to cut investment in fossil fuels would lead to oil prices potentially quadrupling as supply falls," the Financial Times said
▪️ Oil producer cartel OPEC is sticking to a forecast that oil demand will reach 116 million barrels a day by 2045
▪️ ExxonMobil's announcement comes amid an increasingly tense debate between fossil fuel producers trying to protect their market and politicians and climate scientists who warn of dangerous global warming if consumers don't quickly stop burning fossil fuels
▪️ ExxonMobil warns that a 25% drop in the need for oil to make gasoline for passenger cars by 2050 will be offset by rising demand from industry, the largest source of consumption

Has Biden's China chip war backfired?
In October of 2022, President Biden launched America’s “chip war,” imposing restrictions on China’s access to advanced semiconductors and the equipment needed to make them. The goal was to slow China’s progress in artificial intelligence, which the Biden administration had identified as a critical strategic asset
There are costs of the Biden policy. It has caused tension with US allies whose tech companies are affected (and the resolution of those tensions sometimes dilutes the policy). And, because the policy prohibits Taiwan’s TSMC foundry—the most advanced chip factory in the world—from exporting high-end chips to China, China now has less to lose from starting a war with Taiwan. A war would almost certainly leave the TSMC factory enduringly incapacitated, which would still stop the flow of advanced chips to the West
The Biden policy also steepens the already severe challenge of having a constructive dialogue with China about the international governance of AI, or even about the nurturing of international AI norms. And lots of analysts say that ultimately any effective governance of AI will have to be international—and will have to involve, in particular, the world’s two AI superpowers, the US and China

Liberal research paper explores how to manipulate Americans into eating less red meat
A new liberal study from the University of Southern California explores how language might be used to influence Americans to eat less red meat
The findings, published in the journal Climatic Change, suggest that changing how people talk about food could impact dietary choices, especially in the context of “climate change”
The research team, composed of three professors and one doctoral student, conducted a survey of over 5,000 participants across the political spectrum, including Democrats, Republicans and independents. The study was driven by the hypothesis that red meat consumption significantly contributes to climate change and that linguistic adjustments could encourage people to opt for more “climate-friendly” foods
In the introduction, the study noted that
“people’s attitudes can be influenced by … variations in terminology”
UK Prime Minister Starmer says it was a "tough choice" for him to cancel the winter fuel allowance for millions of pensioners, but what can you do, you have to "strengthen the foundations of the economy" for a brighter future
And in other news: PM Starmer has decided to allocate £11.6bn for overseas climate change aid, as well as allocating £3bn a year to Ukraine and paying for a £223m contract with KPMG to train civil servants
