U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s victory has caused a resounding reverberation around the world. As expected, many are asking, “What will Trump’s China policy be? And how will China react? In Latin America, will the flow of drugs and human trafficking slow down?” In the Middle East, Trumps’s victory has elicited a supportive response by some […]
A recent report by U.S. Immigration and Law Enforcement (ICE) revealed significant numbers of illegal immigrants with criminal histories on ICE’s national docket. That includes a high volume of illegal immigrants convicted of homicide and sexual assault. The numbers continue to rise on the southern border, but what has gone largely unnoticed is the record-breaking […]
New York politics was shaken this month when a former senior aide to Gov. Kathy Hochul, along with her husband, were arrested on federal charges, suspected of spying for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). This is not an isolated incident. There are ongoing investigations into the ties between the office of the mayor of New […]
Early voting is about to start in a very contentious and unusual election season. On Sept. 6, voters in the battleground state of North Carolina can start mailing in their ballots; two dozen more states will join them as we roll through September. So far, we’ve had one presidential debate, after which the incumbent was […]
While the world is focused on the U.S. election in November, another caught its attention: the Venezuelan election between Nicolás Maduro and opposition candidate Edmundo González. The numbers aren’t adding up: a deviation so big it cannot be hidden. What was supposed to be a sure thing for Maduro is now being disputed by the […]
We’re putting security agencies under the microscope. Former President Donald Trump’s head turn at just the right moment saved a tragedy. A providential break perhaps, but clearly, something went terribly wrong inside the Secret Service. The Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack by Hamas was a catastrophic failure of Israel’s elite intelligence apparatus. And in France, […]
According to the United Nations, right now, half of the world’s population is under the age of 30—the largest share in human history. Who inspires and controls this half of the world’s population? “Give me just one generation of youth, and I’ll transform the whole world,” Russian dictator Vladimir Lenin said. Disturbing challenges are competing […]
In the early years of Hollywood, there was a standard: movies filled with wholesome families, and people of good character who would step up in difficult times and become a hero—someone audiences could root for and wanted to emulate. We loved to celebrate our heroes—soldiers, astronauts, Olympic champions. We’d even throw them parades. We looked […]
It’s not only an election year in the USA. Government shakeups have been happening all around the world in 2024—most recently the European parliamentary elections. In France, the nationalist party dominated the polls, causing the president to call for a snap election. And in Germany, the right-wing alternative party made big gains on the social […]
In 1968, Paul and Anne Ehrlich published a best-seller, “The Population Bomb,” predicting imminent mass starvation due to overpopulation. The situation was so dire, they wrote, that adding “temporary sterilants” to the water could be a solution. At the time, the world’s population was 3.5 billion people. Today it’s over 8 billion—and oddly, we’re having […]
Is there a global strategy to suppress religious followers of all denominations? Practitioners of Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong, a peaceful meditation based faith, imprisoned and tortured in China since 1999, and brutally murdered for their organs, are now being detained in Russia and elsewhere. Christians, already persecuted around the world, in China, […]
The world is facing potential economic instability. Central banks all over are tackling inflation. With the global pandemic behind us, we have international debts and threats to commerce causing geopolitical unrest. This is in addition to protests, mass illegal immigration, climate change policies, and wars that are coming to a boiling point. What is on […]
Are we facing the threat of biowarfare? The COVID-19 pandemic left many skeptical about its origin. It appears contained. However, there is troubling news from around the country of old diseases re-emerging. Tuberculosis, polio, and leprosy. Also, of great concern is an outbreak of H5N1 “bird flu” that is affecting the food supply—in particular, cattle. […]
On this episode of International Reporters Roundtable, our topic is tunnels. We take you underground into the world of subterranean warfare. Since Oct. 7, we’ve all become acutely aware of the tactical role of tunnels. Hamas terrorists operate in vast underground warrens snaking below the Gaza Strip. We’ve seen the videos: hidden entrances, deep, dark […]
The Oscars are upon us—the night where the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presents its most prestigious award. Actors, directors, writers, and more compete for this symbol of success. But what is this award really worth now? Behind the glamor and the spotlight, has Hollywood lost its way from great entertainment, great stories, […]
Transhumanism, a movement making efforts to transcend our humanity. It sounds like it could be a good thing, in theory. But in practice, what could it entail? There’s biomedical augmentation, everything from artificial limbs to gene manipulation, in order to cure diseases and crippling conditions, and humanity’s pain and suffering—which is at times self inflicted. […]
“Davos in the Desert” is a new anti-globalist movement, which recently held a conference called “Lockdown Nation.” That might sound like a retrospective on the pandemic, but it’s not: it’s a projection about the future. And what it could look like if COVID was just the dress rehearsal crisis for a permanent state of emergency, […]
On this episode of IRR, we discuss the presidential election results in Taiwan and their ramifications. Why was this election such a pivotal event for 2024, as we look ahead toward the presidential election in the United States—which the whole world is watching? Statements made by the United States and China in the days following […]
Reparations: it’s a word we’re hearing more and more. Repayment for societal debts. New York is the latest state to make a move, with Gov. Kathy Hochul signing legislation to create a commission to study reparations for the harms of slavery. In Chicago, the mayor’s saying they should enact reparations to cut down on crime. […]
The Oct. 7 attacks on Israel shocked and changed the world forever. It was the most brutal assault on the Jewish community since the Holocaust, and perhaps the worst part is how the world has reacted. Misinformation, indifference, denial—and even support of the terrorists. And the world’s been affected by the war in Israel. It’s […]
