Majority of Americans believe cartels have more control over border than our governmentSeptember 23, 2022
The Vice President of the United States claimed, only days ago, that the U.S. southern border is “secure.” Not only did her comment receive severe pushback from lawmakers and border agents and agencies, but the American people don’t buy her rhetoric. A poll published Thursday by RMG Research shows a majority of Americans “believe cartels have […] -

41-year-old Shannon Brandt is out on bond even though he was the one who admitted to killing a teenager because of the youngster’s political affiliation.

King Charles Did Tell Prince Harry of Queen’s Death Before Announcement, Royal Sources InsistSeptember 24, 2022

Royal sources have insisted to The Daily Beast that King Charles did speak to Prince Harry and inform him personally of his grandmother’s death before a public announcement was made, after fresh reports surfaced claiming that the a call the king attempted to place to Harry while he was flying to Scotland did not go through, and that Harry learned of his grandmother’s death from online breaking news alerts.
The Daily Telegraph’s royal editor Hannah Furness claimed in an article published Saturday that “the phone call did not go through,” adding that although Harry “knew his father was trying to get in touch with him” he “read a breaking news announcement online before they could work the technology to speak.”

The Bizarre Legal Feud Brewing Between King Charles’ Tailor and a Famed NYC LawyerSeptember 24, 2022
Photo Illustration by Luis G. Rendon/The Daily Beast/Getty The new King of England’s longtime favorite tailor is facing a suit of the legal kind filed by the real-life model for the street smart New York attorney in Tom Wolfe’s novel Bonfire of the Vanities.
In a civil complaint filed on Sept. 20 in Manhattan Supreme Court, Ed Hayes says that as a minority owner of Anderson & Sheppard of London he has come to suspect the company fails to collect sales tax in New York and elsewhere in America. Hayes further raises the possibility that the company is hiding profits.
“The need for an accounting is an urgent matter,” the lawsuit says.

How Baldwin Lee Saw Ageless Beauty in ’80s-Era Black AmericaSeptember 24, 2022
Photo Illustration by The Daily Beast, Photo: © Baldwin Lee Born in New York City to Chinese parents, “creativity was never brought up in my childhood,” photographer Baldwin Lee recalled in the introduction to his new monograph, the eponymous Baldwin Lee. “Redemption occurred by surprise in my sophomore year when I enrolled in a photography class.” He had two formative, formidable influences—Minor White while an undergrad at MIT, Walker Evans while doing a master’s at Yale—who “were the equivalent of having studied with Matisse and Cézanne.” Lee was briefly Evans’ personal printer, handling negatives from Let Us Now Praise Famous Men.
Lee—who established the photography program at the University of Tennessee in 1982 and taught there for over three decades—found his own photographic subject while traveling through the American South. During every break from teaching between 1983-89, he went on the road. He gravitated towards Black neighborhoods, “where indicators of success were replaced with the stigma of neglect,” Lee wrote. “If I had trouble finding these places, I would visit the town police station telling them that I was a photographer with expensive cameras and handed over a highlighter marker, asking them to circle areas I should avoid. Of course, I did the opposite.”
He worked with a cumbersome, indiscreet tripod-mounted 4×5 view camera, which required long exposure times but yielded stunning results aesthetically. Most interactions with locals occurred in front yards and on porches. He would explain his approach, then give his subjects specific directives—but always allowed for the serendipitous: “There is a beauty in this process that exploits the unintended.”

Judges Are Playing ‘Calvinball’ With the Constitution Because They’re Mad Trump Was Banned From TwitterSeptember 24, 2022
Photo Illustrations by Luis G. Rendon/The Daily Beast/Getty A panel of judges in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has decided that “editorial discretion” is no longer a protected right under the First Amendment—because the judges are upset that Donald Trump was removed from Twitter.
I know that sounds impossible, but it’s exactly what happened.
“[T]he Supreme Court’s cases do not carve out ‘editorial discretion’ as a special category of First-Amendment-protected expression,” the court said, opening up a pandora’s box of potential mischief.

China Lays Out Official Position On Ukraine War At UN AssemblySeptember 24, 2022China Lays Out Official Position On Ukraine War At UN AssemblyTyler Durden Sat, 09/24/2022 - 12:05
China has laid out what it says is its most authoritative statement on the Ukraine war, after recent weeks have seen state officials and media pundits assert positions which marked varying degrees of justifying the Russian invasion, and condemning NATO expansion.
"Sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries should be respected, principles of the UN Charter should be followed, legitimate security concerns of all parties should be taken seriously, and all efforts to resolve the crisis peacefully should be supported," China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi outlined in a meeting with Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly this week.
Chinese state media revealed the comments on Friday, and according to Wang, "Those four objectives are China’s most authoritative statement on the Ukrainian issue and also China’s fundamental approach to this issue," Bloomberg reports.
China FM image: September 21, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on the sidelines of the UNGA. This follows what appeared to be rare public criticisms of Russian President Vladimir Putin coming from China and India at the Uzbekistan security summit a week ago.
"Indian prime minister Narendra Modi’s chiding of Vladimir Putin and the Russian leader’s acknowledgment of concerns raised by Chinese president Xi Jinping last week were signs of discomfort with Moscow, three western officials said," FT reported.
Modi had told Putin directly that now "is not a time for war." While some pundits said the West was "cherry picking" these comments and exaggerating their importance, the FT underscored that:
The remarks, at a summit in Uzbekistan, came days after a Ukrainian attack forced Russia’s army to surrender more than 3,000 sq km of territory. The comments were "a genuine and clear signal" of annoyance, one senior European official said, adding that India and China could adjust their actions towards both Russia and the west. A senior European minister told the Financial Times they interpreted the comments as "actual criticism".
In the opening months, China either kept mum altogether when pressed to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine, or else suggested Moscow's security interests were legitimate. Washington had even accused China of providing military equipment resupplies to Moscow - a charge which was never backed by evidence.
Wang told the UNGA meeting at the end of this week, "We must strive for the parties to resume negotiations without any preconditions" - in the clearest indicator thus far that China is now pushing for the resumption of dialogue, but both warring sides appear further than ever from the negotiating table at this point.
Meanwhile, in the first direct interaction since Nancy Pelosi's ultra-provocative August 2nd-3rd visit to Taiwan...

US Yield Shock Meets The Fight Against Dollar DominanceSeptember 24, 2022US Yield Shock Meets The Fight Against Dollar DominanceTyler Durden Sat, 09/24/2022 - 11:30
By Simon Flint, Bloomberg markets live commentator and reporter
Tension between stellar dollar yields and resistance to appreciation should continue to grip markets next week. We may be close to the end game for the dollar rally, but have not established a clear catalyst.
Things to ponder over the weekend include:
- There’s a rich calendar of Fed speakers to give insights into how to interpret the latest Fed decision
- An intriguing question is whether the unemployment/inflation trade-off makes sense. It seems highly likely that Fed speakers will retain a laser focus on inflation in the short-term. However, there is debate about whether they are really prepared to inflict the kind of job losses required to bring down inflation.
- ECB speakers may also explore the implications across the Atlantic -- Lagarde highlights on Monday and Wednesday. And then next Thursday gives us individual Eurozone countries’ inflation data, followed by the consolidated reading on Friday.
- Russia’s formal annexation of the areas of Ukraine under its control may be widely expected, but their faltering performance in the war creates risk of further escalation, which could spill over into energy prices.
- There is a growing view that the slump in oil prices is overdone. If the prospect proves right, this will worsen terms-of trade for most non-US countries.
- Despite the deep skepticism that intervention has any sustained impact, traders can’t sleep on yen intervention just yet. History shows that intervention comes in clusters, and tends to be effective for a week after the initial hit.
- The PBOC’s slightly lame fix on Friday suggests that I am perhaps days away from being proven wrong in thinking that 7.00 was sacrosanct on the fix. Although I was in the minority, should this break early next week, it now seems only a matter of time before 7.20 is reached on CNH.
- This could severely delay the dollar decline, with spill-overs especially acute for commodity exporters and Asian currencies.
- China PMIs on Friday are expected to remain stable, although the survey is very small so far. It will require a decent beat of 50.0 on manufacturing to relieve the gloom.

"Ferocious Fiona" Makes Landfall In Canada, Leaving Hundreds Of Thousands Without PowerSeptember 24, 2022"Ferocious Fiona" Makes Landfall In Canada, Leaving Hundreds Of Thousands Without PowerTyler Durden Sat, 09/24/2022 - 10:55
Powerful storm Fiona battered eastern Canada on Saturday with hurricane-force winds and torrential rains, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without power.
The National Hurricane Center said Post-Tropical Cyclone Fiona made landfall early Saturday morning on the northeast corner of mainland Nova Scotia. It added Fiona had maximum sustained winds of 81 mph, peaking at times of over 100 mph.
Canadian Hurricane Center said Fiona was one of the lowest pressured land falling storms ever to hit Canada. For some context, lower the pressure means stronger the storm.
As of 0800 ET, the storm was 160 miles northeast of Halifax, packing winds of 85 mph and barreling north at around 23 mph.
According to Nova Scotia Power, over 400,000 people across the province of about one million were without power as of 0800 ET.

China Foreign Minister: America Must Modify Stance Toward China For Countries To CooperateSeptember 24, 2022
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated that the US must modify its stance toward China in order for the two countries to cooperate on the international arena at a meeting with their American counterparts on Friday in New York. According to a statement from the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Wang told Blinken that “China-US ties are at a critical crossroads and it is vital for both sides to develop a right manner for the two major nations to get along with each other in a responsible attitude toward the world.” Washington is weakening Chinese sovereignty, according to Wang, and “sending a -
Another “Green Company” is Going Belly Up… Beyond Meat is “Beyond DONE”September 24, 2022
The “Beyond Meat” fad came in fast and furious and is now leaving with its leafy tail tucked firmly between its legs. The company isn’t generating revenue, and they’re now laying people off, as the fast food giants, who gave the plant-based idea a good run, say, “no thanks.” The whole thing is a total flop, and I guess someone should go check on Bill Gates and make sure he and his “lab meat” are okay. Sales of the fake meat have gone dry. The fast-food trials may have gotten some curiosity and a few taste tests here and there, -
Have Americans Been Wrong To Put Their Trust In The FBI All These Years?September 24, 2022
Politics has always been a cutthroat business, but the election of Donald Trump radicalized Democrats to a point of insanity that few could have foreseen. The FBI’s 2016 mission to demolish then-presidential candidate Trump has since metastasized into the Democratic Party’s open war against him, despite the fact that it may have started as a top-secret project involving only a small number of officials at the highest levels of the Obama administration. This fight has widened under the Biden administration to encompass everyone who backs Trump in addition to the previous president. That was made very obvious by President Joe -
[VIDEO] Liberals Reveal SHOCKING Reason They Voted BidenSeptember 24, 2022
Yes, we all know liberals are dumb. And it’s not that they’re dumb when it comes to school or their work. They are just really dumb when it comes to politics. It’s a low-info problem. They’re clueless on issues. They have ankle-deep knowledge and just regurgitate propaganda and misinformation from the media. I kid you not, when I go online, I still see swarms of left-wing nuts pushing the Russia hoax. These whackos still believe Putin was calling the shots while Trump was in office. It’s amazing to see. And the media makes fun of QAnon folks? My God, these -
Rumors Blowing Up The Internet That Xi Has Been Removed From Power Via Military CoupSeptember 24, 2022
Something is up in China. I don’t know what’s going on, but there’s some strange things afoot.

Now, personally, I find that hard to believe, but that’s what many people are speculating, so I’ll show you what they’re saying. And like I said, even though I don’t know if I believe the “coup” stories, I do agree that something is happening. We’re even hearing that flights have been canceled.

Baby formula is still hard to come by for many parents, and when they can get it, it’s costing nearly 60 bucks for a week’s worth. Biden wants to celebrate gas prices coming down, but they’re still so much higher than when President Trump was in office, and Joe is depleting our strategic reserves before midterms, strictly for political purposes. He’s such a selfish, arrogant bastard. People’s utilities are sky high, rent has gone -

Stuff like this really makes you realize what a scam this whole thing is. Heritage wrote an interesting piece on how climate change is just one big money-making scheme. They said the first iron rule of American politics is: Follow the money. This explains, oh, about 80 -
New Theories Emerge About Biden’s Strange-Looking Hand Spotted in Recent WH PhotoSeptember 24, 2022
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a strange photo of Joe Biden’s hands. Back during the 2020 campaign, many believe he was spotted with IV marks on the top of his hand. This is what prompted President Trump to call for drug testing before the debates. He (and most of us) were convinced that Joe was getting pumped full of some medical cocktail before he took the stage. And it’s crazy when you look back to Joe in 2020, he sounded bad, he looked lost, confused, and was speaking “gibberish” — back then they called it a “childhood stutter.”
