or the first time in a decade, the seemingly invincible transgender movement is on the run. In the United States, the Trump administration is purging gender ideology from government institutions and issuing a string of executive orders targeting everything from sex change surgeries for minors to LGBT indoctrination in schools. Europe’s medical institutions—in Norway, Finland, the United Kingdom, Sweden, and France—are pushing back against “gender affirming care” for minors or banning it entirely. Populists in Canada, the Netherlands, and Germany have caught the mood and are increasingly unequivocal in their condemnations of aspects of gender ideology. Leaders in Hungary and Poland, of course, were ahead of the curve. To ensure that recent victories and the frequently unstable positions of politicians bending to public opinion are permanent, it is essential to understand the key sources of the transgender movement’s power.

The Trump administration has retrieved the $59 million the Federal Emergency Management Agency allocated last week to house illegal aliens in hotels in New York City. “I have clawed back the full payment that FEMA deep state activists unilaterally gave to NYC migrant hotels,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote on X on Wednesday. “FEMA was funding the Roosevelt Hotel that serves as a Tren de Aragua base of operations and was used to house Laken Riley’s killer,” Noem wrote, referring the Jose Antonio Ibarra, an illegal alien from Venezuela who was found guilty in November of murdering Riley, a Georgia nursing student. Tren de Aragua is a Venezuela-based gang.

The Senate confirmed Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence in a 52-to-48 vote on Wednesday. Gabbard, who served four terms in the House of Representatives from 2013 to 2021 as a Democrat but subsequently became an independent and then a Republican, was approved on a near-party-line vote. All 45 Democrats and the two nominal independents who caucus with them were joined by Sen Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., in voting against her nomination. As director of national intelligence, Gabbard will oversee 17 agencies in the intelligence community, including the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Agency. Gabbard had faced tough confirmation hearing questioning from some Democratic senators. They alleged that Gabbard, a lieutenant colonel in the Army National Guard who had passed several FBI background checks, was unduly sympathetic to foreign powers.

The results are in: The Democratic Party’s Bidenomics strategy produced a disastrous score of just 160,000 extra jobs for Americans during each year of President Joe Biden’s presidency. President Joe Biden’s dismal Bidenomics also created jobs for 4.7 million migrants — including almost three million illegals, according to federal data collected by the Center for Immigration Studies and reported on February 7. So Bidenomics created 7.3 migrant jobs for every job gained by an American, even as it also exploded the national debt by $8 trillion. Bidenomics also flatlined wages, spiked housing costs, and slowed workplace investment. The Bidenomics 7:1 policy — 4.7 million jobs for migrants, 645,000 for Americans — was deliberate. Bidenomics deliberately stranded millions of working-age Americans outside the workforce, without jobs or prospects, often homeless and on drugs, and usually dependent on expensive government aid.

Major grocery chains like Costco and Whole Foods are rationing eggs, citing bird flu-related shortages, sparking shopper outrage. Critics argue the mass culling of 148 million chickens is creating artificial scarcity to drive inflation. The USDA’s policy of euthanizing infected flocks has drastically reduced egg production, despite low human transmission risk of H5N1 bird flu. Egg prices surged 53% in January, with retailers imposing strict purchase limits and Waffle House adding a 50-cent surcharge per egg. Some experts claim the crisis is exaggerated, possibly to push mRNA vaccines and centralized food systems.

On February 12th, Stephen Bryen, who has retired from a career at the tops of one of America’s ten largest armaments-makers and near the top of the U.S. Defense Department (he’s been through the revolving door and now has retired from it), headlined “Europe Gasping for Air as Trump Makes His Ukraine Move: No NATO Membership for Ukraine, No US Troops” and reported not only that Trump has basically fired Keith Kellogg who was his failed appointee to negotiate with Russia about the war in Ukraine, but that Trump has dropped the Kellogg-initiated U.S. starting position for entering into those negotiations with Russia (Russia refused to accept that even as a starting position); so, Trump had on February 12th a 90-minute phone conversation with Putin, and it was extremely productive, because Trump now recognizes not only why Russia refuses to accept Ukraine’s EVER being allowed into NATO, but also that Russians would have to be crazy to ever accept such a possibility

President Donald Trump’s Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has just slashed millions of dollars worth of taxpayer-funded federal contracts. The Trump administration confirmed that the government contracts were a waste of taxpayer dollars. On Wednesday, the team DOGE confirmed that it has worked with various agencies to cancel several contracts. The contacts were found in the Social Security Administration, the Departments of Homeland Security and Labor, and several other areas. “Taxpayer dollars will no longer be wasted on nonsense,” an administration official reportedly told Fox News.

The new US administration will stop promoting diversity, equality and inclusion programs across the world, the billionaire has said. US President Donald Trump and his administration will work to end the promotion of diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) programs across the world, Elon Musk announced at the World Governments Summit in Dubai on Thursday. The billionaire’s statement comes as Trump has launched a campaign aimed at ending DEI initiatives within the federal government since assuming office last month. Shortly after being sworn in, Trump repealed some 78 orders signed by his predecessor Joe Biden. This includes terminating DEI programs and ending protections for transgender individuals. Trump also set a 60-day deadline for federal agencies to cease all DEI-related practices.

MOSCOW, February 13. /TASS/. The leaders of Russia and the United States spoke over the phone on Wednesday, and Armenia’s parliament takes a step toward joining the EU. Meanwhile, Washington scales back support for Ukraine. These stories topped Thursday's newspaper headlines in Russia. On February 12, Russian President Vladimir Putin and US leader Donald Trump spoke over the phone for almost 90 minutes. Among other topics, the two leaders discussed a prisoner swap: Moscow and Washington agreed to release American citizen Mark Fogel and free Russian national Alexander Vinnik from American jail. Also, the two politicians raised the issue of the Ukraine crisis, with Trump favoring putting an end to the hostilities there as soon as possible. Putin expressed his readiness to welcome US officials in Russia on topics of mutual interest, including the resolution in Ukraine. Besides, Putin and Trump agreed to hold an in-person meeting.

US-Russian relations will now return to their ‘factory settings’, but the key here is the end of Western overreach. The long-anticipated phone call between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump has finally taken place, sending shock waves through the geopolitical landscape. But before anyone gets carried away with triumph or despair, it’s worth recognizing what has actually happened: Russian-US relations have simply returned to their natural state – one of strategic rivalry, conflicting interests, and fundamental differences in For decades, the US pursued a fantasy – one where it could reshape Russia in its own image, first through incentives and later through coercion. Washington believed it could mold Moscow into a compliant partner within the ‘liberal international order’, an illusion that only collapsed when reality hit: Russia was never going to be remade. Meanwhile, Moscow spent years trying to find common ground, adjusting its own policies in hopes of reaching a workable coexistence. That experiment, too, ended a decade ago.

Since the end of World War Two the Central Intelligence Agency has been a major force in US and foreign news media, exerting considerable influence over what the public sees, hears and reads on a regular basis. CIA publicists and journalists alike will assert they have few, if any, relationships, yet the seldom acknowledged history of their intimate collaboration indicates a far different story–indeed, one that media historians are reluctant to examine. When seriously practiced, the journalistic profession involves gathering information concerning individuals, locales, events, and issues. In theory such information informs people about their world, thereby strengthening “democracy.” This is exactly the reason why news organizations and individual journalists are tapped as assets by intelligence agencies and, as the experiences of German journalist Udo Ulfkotte (entry 47 below) suggest, this practice is at least as widespread today as it was at the height of the Cold War.

Los Angeles is currently implementing new workplace training that emphasizes gender inclusivity and addresses harassment for city employees that could run afoul of federal authorities under a directive signed by President Donald J. Trump. City employees, including those in the Fire Department, must complete annual “Workplace Harassment and Abusive Conduct” training. The training encourages the use of preferred pronouns and addresses gender identity as a protected category. While the Trump executive order pertains to federal employees and contractors, it contains a provision that directs federal officials to stringently enforce certain civil rights and privacy protections afforded under federal law. The Los Angeles government’s workplace training program could be in violation of these protections, drawing civil action from the Department of Justice (DOJ).

Cincinnati Children’s Hospital denied a 12-year-old child a heart transplant because she isn’t vaccinated against Covid and the flu. Adaline Deal, a relative of Vice President JD Vance by marriage, didn’t take the vaccine due to religious beliefs as nondenominational Christians. Earlier this month Adaline’s doctor said she would need to get the Covid vaccine and a flu shot to be put on the heart transplant list. Adaline was born with two heart defects. “I thought, wow. So, it’s not about the kid. It’s not about saving her life,” Adaline’s mother, Janeen Deal told the Cincinnati Enquirer. Shot in the arm shot in the head either way the Demies want you dead...

Yoel Alter, a prominent leader of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish cult, Lev Tahor, was arrested in Guatemala following an operation led by Interpol. The arrest comes amid allegations of child abuse and human trafficking, which have been tied to the controversial group.
Interpol operation leads to arrest in Guatemala
The 35-year-old Alter was apprehended in Guatemala after a request for his extradition was made by Mexico, where he faces human trafficking charges. He appeared in a Guatemalan court, where he was subsequently detained, and will likely be extradited to Mexico for trial.
Lev Tahor cult’s dark allegations
Founded in Israel in 1988, Lev Tahor has been under scrutiny for a range of serious crimes, including child abuse, human trafficking, and forced marriages of minors. The cult has been operating in Mexico and Guatemala since 2014. In December 2024, police in Guatemala raided the cult’s compound in the Santa Rosa region, rescuing 160 children and 40 women from alleged abuse by cult members.

On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm (EST), all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, except for a select group managing mission-critical functions, core leadership, and specially designated programs. This abrupt operational halt, announced just one day earlier, signals a dramatic shift in the agency’s trajectory, raising urgent questions about its past operations, funding allocations, and accountability. The move follows increasing scrutiny of USAID’s financial ties and CIA-style influence campaigns, particularly its funding of BBC Media Action, a development arm accused of engaging in censorship under the guise of combating misinformation. In an era where information warfare has become the front line of controlling public narratives, the collusion between government agencies, mainstream media, and shadowy think tanks has never been more evident. Recent revelations suggest that USAID—the United States Agency for International Development—has funneled funds to the BBC, which in turn, through its development arm BBC Media Action, has engaged in activities that go beyond public service broadcasting. Instead, they have aligned with efforts to silence independent health platforms like GreenMedInfo (GMI) under the guise of combating “misinformation.”

In an interview with the New York Post on Friday, Trump claimed to have discussed the Ukraine conflict with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the phone – something the Kremlin has yet to confirm. While he did not provide any details, he said he had a concrete plan for ending the conflict, adding “I hope it’s fast. Every day people are dying.” He went on to blame Biden for the ongoing hostilities, arguing that it “never would have happened” if he had been president in 2022. “I always had a good relationship with Putin,” he said, according to RT. According to Trump, this is not the advantage his predecessor could have enjoyed. “Biden was an embarrassment to our nation. A complete embarrassment,” he stressed. Trump has repeatedly vowed to swiftly end the Ukraine conflict, unlike Biden, who adhered to the principle that the US must support Kyiv for “as long as it takes.” The incumbent leader has also been critical of his predecessor’s approach to aiding Ukraine, arguing in particular that it was “stupid” for Washington to allow Kyiv to use American long-range weapons for strikes deep into Russia.

Please, please – in the name of minimal decency – spare me another round of weepy propaganda over the release of some Israeli captives formerly held by inmates of the concentration camp you helped to create in Gaza. I cannot bear your misplaced sentimentality over the freed Israelis – many of whom actually wore their IDF uniforms as they left behind the ruins of what used to be Khan Younis – any more than I can tolerate your hypocrisy about the Israeli genocide you have applauded for over a year. And before you launch into a self-righteous tirade about “terrorism” and sputter “Hamas” into my face, let me assure you that I am not asking you to conduct yourselves like conscientious human beings. After watching your behavior over the last 15 months, I know that this would be too much to expect of all but a handful of “religious” Jews. No, I am only asking you to begin to call things by their right names. Can you at least do that much – before making another sanctimonious speech? Before posting another self-pitying comment on Facebook about “our hostages”?

Today we’re sharing an important article by Ron Paul. Dr. Paul has been fighting against the deep state for decades, and his perspective is invaluable. I would argue he laid the groundwork for the reforms we’re seeing today. This article was originally published at the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity. As of this writing, when you attempt to access the US Agency for International Development (USAID) website or social media pages you are informed that, “This site can’t be reached.” The media reports that the new Trump Administration has not only frozen USAID activities but may be planning on bringing it back under control of the US State Department. Other reports, including statements by Elon Musk, suggest that it will be closed completely. If true, the closing of USAID may be one of the most significant changes President Trump has made among many dramatic actions in his first couple of weeks in office. Many Americans may still have the idea that USAID is a government agency delivering relief at disaster sites overseas. They may still remember the bags of rice or grain with the USAID logo on them. But that is not USAID. USAID is a key component of the US government’s “regime change” operations worldwide. USAID spends billions of dollars every year propping up “NGOs” overseas that function as shadow governments, eating away at elected governments that the US interventionists want to overthrow.
