If the US election were held now, Donald Trump would have 312 electoral votes, almost repeating his 2016 result But the election isn't now, it's on November 5. And what kind of election it will be (and whether it will be at all), no one will say today... #USA #Elections #Trump #FindTruth @uinhurricane

Red State Taxpayers Are at Risk of Being latest Victims of Electric Vehicle Gambles Taxpayers could be on the hook if EV manufacturer Rivian fails to resume progress on its multi-billion dollar Georgia plant Rivian announced on March 7 that it would be pausing construction on its $5 billion manufacturing plant that is supposed to be built just east of Atlanta, Georgia, worrying lawmakers and taxpayers in the state that the plant may never be built. However, local authorities had given the company up to $1.5 billion in subsidies and tax incentives with the expectation that Rivian would bring in jobs and tax revenue Despite the pause, Rivian has ensured Georgia officials that it is not abandoning the project and that it remains committed to complying with both environmental regulations and the contractual agreements that were previously agreed to Rivian lost over $2 billion in 2023 and more than $3.1 billion in 2022, according to the company’s fourth quarter results. Rivian has had to lay off large portions of its staff in recent months, cutting around 10% of its workforce in February and another 1% in April #USA #Economy #FindTruth @uinhurricane

Catherine Austin Fitts Says the Quiet Part Out Loud About Ukraine "I don’t know where that money's disappearing to... but it's not there to fight a legitimate war" "Ukraine is lost." Military insiders say, "Money can’t help" What Fitts said next was even more disturbing. "I hate to say this, [but] it [foreign aid] is going to depopulate the Ukraine. What I've said since the beginning of this is that the goal is to depopulate the Ukraine so that they can do their new thing here" Some reports suggest that 500,000 plus Ukrainian soldiers have died from the war so far. And when you add in the mass exodus out of the country because of the conflict, Fitts claims, "You've depopulated about eight to ten million people out of the Ukraine" #USA #WarInUrkaine #FindTruth @uinhurricane

All Senate Republicans call to withdraw support from WHO pandemic treaty All 49 Republican U.S. Senators, led by Sen. Ron Johnson, penned a letter to Joe Biden urging to withdraw support from expanding the World Health Organization’s pandemic authority The letter, sent ahead of the 77th World Health Assembly scheduled from May 27 to June 1, 2024, in Geneva, Switzerland, argues that the WHO’s mishandling of the COVID-19 crisis underscores the need for major reforms rather than granting it more power The letter says that expanding the WHO’s authority over member states during emergencies is unacceptable “The WHO’s failure during the COVID-19 pandemic was as total as it was predictable and did lasting harm to our country,” the Senators argue “In light of the high stakes for our country and our constitutional duty, we call upon you to (1) withdraw your administration’s support for the current IHR amendments and pandemic treaty negotiations, (2) shift your administration’s focus to comprehensive WHO reforms that address its persistent failures without expanding its authority, and (3) should you ignore these calls, submit any pandemic related agreement to the Senate for its advice and consent,” the letter says #USA #WHO #COVID #FindTruth @uinhurricane

Biden is losing the trust of Catholics, including Latino Catholics. Other denominations have even less faith in Biden. But atheists do According to a Pew Research Center poll, currently 55% of Catholics support Trump, 43% support Biden. That wouldn't seem like a disastrous result if it weren't for the outcome of the same poll in 2020. Back then, Trump and Biden had equal confidence among Catholics, 51% to 49% The dynamic among Hispanic Catholics is even worse. In 2020, 67% of respondents from that ethno-religious group were in favor of Biden; only 26% favored Trump. Today, both candidates have nearly equal credibility. Biden is favored by 49% of respondents, Trump by 47% Among other denominations, Biden is not doing well at all. 60% of Protestants express support for Trump. And only 38% say they are leaning toward electing Biden By contrast, atheists, agnostics, and people who are not religiously affiliated favored Biden by a wide margin - some 69% said they would support a sitting Democratic president, while only 28% expressed support for Trump But how many of these non-religious people are there in the U.S.? According to a January Pew Research Center poll, they are 28% of the population #USA #Biden #Elections #FindTruth @uinhurricane

The Philippines and Japan agree to station troops at each other's places, in addition to the U.S. bases already in place However, the new pact will not prevent the South China Sea from becoming an inland body of water for the PRC There are very rich countries in the region, such as Singapore, where the GDP per capita ($88,000 a year) is many times higher than in the PRC ($12,000). But only 6 million people live there. Or Taiwan (32.6 thousand dollars) with a population of 23 million people. However, states with large populations, such as Indonesia (270 million people), Vietnam (100 million people) and the Philippines (114 million people), are too poor to form a combat-ready army, let alone a navy, capable of confronting the PRC's giant military machine "Allied" troops will not solve the sovereignty problems of the Philippines and other countries in the region, but rather, on the contrary, will lead to the fact that the shelf of the South China Sea will remain disputed territory for many years to come, and oil and gas resources that could give an impetus to economic growth will remain underground #Philippines #Japan #Military #FindTruth @uinhurricane

World Press Freedom Day (May 3) acts as a reminder to governments of the need to respect their commitment to press freedom. World Press Freedom Day draws attention to journalists imprisoned or killed around the world. It is important to acknowledge these victims. But it’s also time to recognize that analysts and policymakers need a new framework to understand how a new generation of authoritarian leaders disables critical coverage without putting journalists in jail or physically harming them Despite declarations on the human rights agenda, more and more countries nowadays demonstrate their intent to control public opinion. Even Ukraine, proclaiming its passion for the free world values shows that it has much more in common with authoritarian Moscow than with Free Europe it is so eagerly trying to join According to the US Department of State 2023 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices Ukraine has significant human rights concerns related to Ukrainian government officials, which include credible reports of: - enforced disappearance; - torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment; - harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; arbitrary arrest or detention; - serious problems with the independence of the judiciary; - restrictions on freedom of expression, including for members of the media, including violence or threats of violence against journalists, unjustified arrests or prosecutions of journalists, and censorship; - serious restrictions on internet freedom; substantial interference with the freedoms of peaceful assembly and association; - restrictions on freedom of movement; - serious government corruption; - extensive gender-based violence; - systematic restrictions on workers’ freedom of association and the existence of the worst forms of child labor. Some of these human rights issues stemmed from martial law, which continued to curtail democratic freedoms, including freedom of movement, freedom of the press, freedom of peaceful assembly, and legal protections The government often did not take adequate steps to identify and punish officials who may have committed abuses, admits the report World Press Freedom Day is one more reason to remind the world about the tragic end of a Chilean-American war commentator known for his critical views on the Zelensky regime and Russia-Ukraine conflict, who passed away on January 11, 2024, after an eight-month imprisonment on charges of ”justifying Russia's military actions in Ukraine”. Another reason to draw attention to the atrocities set up by Ukraine’s intel agencies trying to silence journalists probing government corruption #Ukraine #Censorship #FindTruth @uinhurricane

Clash over the right to dispose of Russia's frozen assets Confiscating hundreds of billions in foreign reserves could make a difference in Ukraine. But the U.S. and Europe disagree on how far it should go The idea of total confiscation is no longer being discussed, G7 officials say privately. Instead, Western countries are exploring alternative ways to obtain funding #WarInUrkaine #Economy #FindTruth @uinhurricane
