Malika Andrews, a host on ESPN, demonstrated she’s a cool cat under pressure and in an emergency situation, having handled herself like a total professional when an earthquake shook the city of Los Angeles where the studio is located where she was in the middle of a live broadcast. Not being from the West, where this kind of thing is known to happen on a somewhat frequent basis, I’m pretty sure I would have simply wet my pants and screamed like a girl. Good on Andrews for not doing what most of us what do in such a situation. “The…

If you happen to be in your retirement years and are drawing Social Security, you should be aware that a huge change is coming over the course of the next year. A major adjustment to your benefits is on the way, along with an increase in the earnings-test limit. What does this mean for workers?

According to the Motley Fool, just because Social Security…
Things in the Middle East are getting more tense by the day as new reports have revealed that Israel has now put its military on high alert. Along with that, the Pentagon has revealed that it is currently in the process of sending a guided-missile submarine to the region and that they are also speeding up the arrival of a second aircraft carrier. These actions are being taken due to a high possibility of Iran and radical terrorist group Hezbollah launching a military strike against the Jewish state for the killing of militant leaders located in both Tehran and Beirut.…

Former President Donald Trump did an interview with Fox & Friends on Wednesday where he took an opportunity to slam Vice President Kamala Harris, his opponent in the general election, for choosing Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. During the interview he said that if this ticket should be victorious in November it would lead to communism infecting America along with a major economic depression. I’d say he’s probably right on the money, especially when you take a long look at the governor’s previous handling of both the 2020 race riots and the coronavirus pandemic. “I would…
A series of rockets were fired at Ain al-Asad air base in Iraq, which currently hosts military forces from the United States, along with other international forces. The two Katyusha rockets were fired at the base, which is located in the western part of the country, according to security sources. However, it’s not yet, as of this writing, been made clear if there were any casualties or if the base sustained any damage as a result of the attack. Things in the Middle East have continued to get worse ever since Hamas, a radical Islamic terrorist organization located in “Palestine,”…
A brand new report from the House has revealed that almost a hundred illegal immigrants that have their names on the terrorist watch list have been released into the United States under the leadership of the Biden-Harris administration. The report reveals that agents serving with the Border Patrol have had encounters with illegal migrants on the watch list from a variety of different countries. And that translates to some likely being from countries with Muslim-majority populations and governments that are hostile to the U.S. And yet there are actual American voters who are willingly going to pull the lever for…
Global markets experienced a steep fall on Monday as a key measure of what CNBC called “expected volatility” within the stock market shot up to its highest level in more than four years, when the coronavirus pandemic delivered its first punch to the world.The Cboe Volatility Index, also known as the VIX, hit above 65 for a brief period of time on Monday, which is an increase of 23 which is where it was last Friday and around 17 a week ago. After noon rolled around it dropped to 32. Better than 65, but not great by any stretch of…
The Biden administration had another huge economic miss with unemployment during the month of July as it rises to 4.3 percent and just 114,000 new jobs created. This far lower than the expected 175,000 jobs that were forecast and the unemployment projection of 4.1 percent. If you thought things were on the up and up, think again. Unless we have a massive shift in policy and a whole lot of time to keep those principles in play, we aren’t going to see a lot of improvement. Ultimately, this will lead to an increase in the cost of living, further exacerbating…
The S&P 500 just had it’s worst July in a decade, which could be a strong indication our country is barreling toward a recession. The Motley Fool’s Trevor Jennewine says that, historically speaking, July has been one of the strongest months for the stock market in the United States, but that’s not the case this year. The S&P 500 hasn’t a July as bad as this one since 2014. It’s an ominous sign that as bad as things seem to be right now, they’re going to get worse before they get better. https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1819416805267693619 Jennewine reported, “The S&P 500 (^GSPC -2.35%)…
The price of gold has had a rather eventful week that has been deeply impacted by economic data, events on the world stage, and policy decisions made by the current administration. With the risk of a third global conflict rising due to the assassination of a Hamas leader in Iran by Israel, there was some safe haven purchasing of the precious metal. Wars and the threat of conflict, especially between two nations as important to the Middle East as Israel and Iran, always play a huge role in gold prices. A report published by ZeroHedge says: The Bank of England’s…
Well, folks it looks like we are now approaching a full-on global conflict at lightspeed as Iran is now expected to launch a direct attack on Israel. The assault will come as a response to Israel assassinating Ismail Haniyeh, leader of Hamas, while in Tehran, on Wednesday morning. This information comes to us from a New York Times report that cited three credible sources. If you believe in the power of prayer, now might be a good time to call on God. He’s our only hope of avoiding World War III, if it even can be at this point. The…
A total of 89 people died and dozens of others are feared to be trapped in the state of Kerala, which is located in India, after heavy rainfall led to huge landslides all over the state.

An analysis was published on Friday that revealed there’s a terrifying and very deadly threat that exists right out in the open that could potentially result in the silent snuffing out of countless human lives, and it’s one that writer Kay Smythe of The Daily Caller has been trying to warn folks about for a long, long time now. Almost a decade to be exact. Smythe revealed in her latest piece she first broached the topic during a presentation while she was attending university. In the article she mentions that one of the most dangerous regions in the world is…
In news that will shock absolutely no one, not a single, solitary soul, just hours before the opening ceremony for the Paris Olympics were scheduled to begin, the train service in France was the target of several “malicious acts” which led to disruptions to high-speed lines. Now, I don’t mean to point fingers without having all of the facts, but I have a strong suspicion that, given these were arson attacks, immigrants from Muslim-majority nations might have played a role in the chaos. Just another reminder of why a nation needs to have protected borders and a stringent immigration system.…
You know things are getting strange when it has become “regular” or “normal” for the U.S. military to intercept Russian bombers near the state of Alaska. That is something that should be alarming each and every time it happens. Nobody should be getting used to this and thinking it’s routine. Clearly it’s a sign of aggression, an attempt at intimidation. If that doesn’t scare you — and it should — how about the presence of both Chinese and Russian military aircraft, together, buzzing our airspace? This led to the North American Aerospace Defense Command intercepting two bombers from each country…
This summer is really not a great season for those who are interested in purchasing their own homes. Just last month — June — existing home sales took a plunge into the abyss, which is a good indicator our economy is now swirling around at the bottom of the toilet bowl and could be about to get flushed down the drain. Well, that slowdown was confirmed by a sizable drop in the sale of brand new homes, as they went down by 0.6 percent MoM, which is below the 3.4 percent MoM that was initially expected. According to ZeroHedge, it…
I know you probably don’t need more data to prove that we’re in deep trouble economically speaking, but it’s critical to share right information so folks can understand just how far down the wrong path we are at this point. It will help individuals to make better decisions when they head to the ballot box in November to choose our next commander-in-chief. A new report from ZeroHedge has revealed that there are now five out of twelve Federal reserve districts that are showing either flat or declining economic growth. Seven of the districts reported that there is at least some…
Mark Spitznagel of Universa, who has lined his pockets with billions of dollars from past crashes, predicts there will be one final hurrah for stocks before they take a plunge. Spitznagel’s expertise is highly respected amongst investors, so when he says stuff like this, the big boys pay attention. So why do these folks listen to Spitznagel? Well, for starters, he pulled in a billion dollars in one day, along with a number of other huge scores since getting into tail risk hedge fund Universa Investments in 2008. The second reason people’s ears perk up when he speaks is that…
The BRICS alliance has revealed how it plans to destroy, no, more like obliterate the U.S. dollar so that is no longer used as the world’s reserve currency and it’s absolutely diabolical. BRICS is planning to weaponize oil and gas by bringing in big time oil producing nations such as Egypt, Iran, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates as part of the organization. They’ve also extended an invitation to the biggest oil producer in the world, Saudi Arabia. As of now, the country has not accepted as it continues to think through the various pros and cons of joining the…
