Three days before a 31-year-old male stormed the White House Correspondents Dinner, hoping to assassinate President Donald Trump and members of his cabinet, the New York Times published a 35-minute video titled: “‘The Rich Don’t Play by the Rules. So Why Should I?’ Why petty theft might be the new political protest.” In it, a Times editor interviewed two other members of the media aristocracy about the moral code shared by a large swathe of young Americans.

That code justifies theft—and even violence—when harnessed to a fashionably left-wing cause. None of the participants—podcasting celebrity Hasan Piker, New Yorker writer Jia Tolentino, and Times opinion editor Nadja Spiegelman—expressed alarm at the glorification of crime. They smirked and giggled through the discussion, betraying a breezy indifference to lawbreaking.

It was striking enough that the Times published the video after reviewing the final cut. The paper was not embarrassed by the participants’ ignorance and entitlement. Nor was it troubled, apparently, by their debate over whether the December 2024 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was “actually effective political action” or merely—and disappointingly—effective “political consciousness-raising.”

Dell Technologies’ Board of Directors unanimously approved a proposal to move the company’s state of incorporation from Delaware to Texas. This adds to the growing trend of redomiciliation, with companies such as Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, Coinbase, Affirm, TripAdvisor, eXp World Holdings, and others moving from Delaware to business-friendly states.

Shareholders will vote on the redomiciliation at Dell’s upcoming 2026 annual meeting on June 25. “The proposed redomestication would align Dell Technologies’ state of incorporation with its roots and long-standing center of operations,” the company wrote in a press release.

Dell said the move would align its legal home with its corporate origin story: Michael Dell founded the company in Austin in 1984, and today Dell’s headquarters, CEO, and largest concentration of U.S. employees are all based in Texas.

European officials have expressed dismay, disappointment, and surprise in the wake of the weekend announcement by the Trump administration that the US will be withdrawing some 5,000 troops from Germany over the coming months.

“There has been talk about withdrawing US troops from Europe for a long time. But of course, the timing of this announcement comes as a surprise,” EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas expressed on the sidelines of the European Political Community meeting in Yerevan, Armenia on Monday.

Germany affords itself a state bureaucracy that functions like an artificial labor market placed upstream of the private sector. The flight of hundreds of thousands into the arms of the state corresponds with the shrinking number of self-employed in the country. And policymakers are actively promoting this trend.

Let us begin with a piece of good news: according to a Bertelsmann survey, around 40 percent of Germans aged 15 to 25 can imagine starting a business as their personal life path. That is a surprisingly high figure in a country where young people not infrequently cite, half-jokingly and half-seriously, Hartz IV or the public sector as career goals.

Let us note: the embers of entrepreneurship in Germany are still glowing; economic autonomy and sovereignty still rank highly among the younger generation. However, it is questionable whether this will suffice to ignite, one day, a true founding boom in a country of climate transformation, deeply rooted faith in the state, and an expansive public sector—a boom that could force a turnaround and help erase the long-accumulated sins of climate socialists.

Leave it to the Soros regime to make it seem to the public like an economically-shellacked enemy of the U.S. is somehow winning its war against President Donald Trump.

The liberal Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft — which boasts $2,025,000 in funding from George Soros between 2019-2023 — pushed an asinine claim by non-resident fellow Ian Proud April 28 headlined, “Iran and Russia are gaming the United States, and winning.”

Proud then fear-mongered that Trump was running out of time to end the world before the American economy goes belly up. Proud attempted to prop up Iran’s illusory economic firewall, which new reporting proves is false in retrospect: “Both [Iran and Russia] have as a source of their strength considerable natural resources from which they can generate cash flow to sustain themselves during stand-offs with the West.” But as even pro-terrorist outlet Al Jazeera admitted May 2, “Prices surge, jobs disappear as war strains Iran’s economy.”

Two parole reform bills advancing in New York are triggering intense debate, with supporters calling them long-overdue criminal justice reforms and critics warning they could allow violent offenders to leave prison early, according to the NY Post.

One proposal, known as the Elder Parole bill, would allow incarcerated individuals to request parole hearings once they reach age 55 and have served at least 15 years of their sentence. That eligibility would extend to some inmates serving life sentences, and those denied parole could reapply every two years.

The second proposal, Fair and Timely Parole, would change how parole boards evaluate inmates by placing greater focus on whether someone currently poses a risk to public safety instead of heavily weighing the original crime. Backers say the current system often ignores evidence of rehabilitation and keeps people incarcerated long after they have changed.

Sometimes, I wonder if politicians who consistently make the wrong decisions do so on purpose. After reading the European Commission’s new report (published in April), “Wealth Taxation, Including Net Wealth, Capital and Exit Taxes,” I am once again tempted to suggest willful ignorance.

The report favors a slew of new taxes on Europe’s richest: a tax on capital gains, both realized and unrealized; a broad-based, ‘avoidance proof’ tax on inheritance and gifts; and a tax on capital migration. If matched with heavy taxation on equity-based income, these hate-the-rich taxes would work as a confiscatory machine, vacuuming Europe clean of anything that resembles economic success.

U.S. Central Command said its new plan to protect commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz kicked off Monday with the safe passage of two U.S.-flagged merchant ships. Dubbed Project Freedom, the operation is designed to “restore freedom of navigation for commercial shipping” through this strategically vital body of water, the command stated on X. Iran closed the Strait after being attacked by the U.S. and Israel on Feb. 28. Meanwhile, Iran says this move will threaten the fragile ceasefire and that it will attack any ships transiting the Strait without permission.

“U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers are currently operating in the Arabian Gulf after transiting the Strait of Hormuz in support of Project Freedom,” CENTCOM stated in a message posted on X Monday morning. “American forces are actively assisting efforts to restore transit for commercial shipping. As a first step, 2 U.S.-flagged merchant vessels have successfully transited through the Strait of Hormuz and are safely headed on their journey.”

At least four ships have been hijacked off the coast of Somalia in recent weeks, stoking fears of a piracy resurgence in the region. Officials say the rise in attacks is connected to the war in Iran, as pirates are taking the opportunity to act while naval forces are preoccupied with the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The EU’s Maritime Security Centre Indian Ocean has called for all vessels in the area to maintain “heightened vigilance”, especially between Mogadishu and Hafun.

To understand the significance of this uptick, it helps to look at the longer trend. Piracy off Somalia reached its peak in 2011, when the International Maritime Organization recorded 286 incidents, including both attempted and successful attacks. A coordinated international response, including naval patrols and onboard security, then drove a steep decline, with cases falling to 99 in 2012 and just 12 by 2015. For three consecutive years between 2020 and 2022, no incidents were reported to the IMO in this area at all.

But these figures only tell part of the story. In 2009, most piracy cases were concentrated off East Africa, where 222 incidents, including 48 hijackings, were recorded. By 2010, however, Somali pirates had started to use captured dhows, fishing vessels and merchant ships as “motherships” in order to extend their operational reach. As a result, incidents off East Africa fell to 172, while attacks in the Indian Ocean rose from 27 to 77 (including a rise from two hijackings to 20). Activity in the Arabian Sea also increased over the same period, from two to 16.

Twenty-three innocent bystanders have been killed and 30 wounded in gang-related shootings in Sweden over the past three years, according to new police data highlighting the country’s ongoing struggle with violent crime.

Authorities say the victims were not the intended targets but were instead caught in the crossfire, struck by stray bullets, mistaken for someone else, or linked to individuals involved in criminal networks.

The Nordic country has spent more than a decade trying to contain shootings tied to rival gangs competing over the drug trade and settling scores.

Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones asked the Virginia Supreme Court to overturn a ruling by Judge Hurley in Tazewell that blocked the State Board of Elections from certifying the results of the April 21 redistricting referendum. That is notable—so is the justices’ denial of that motion.

First, most anyone that remembers 2020 knows that the first response from anyone, when confronted with proof that shenanigans had taken place during the presidential election, is “the vote has been certified and there is no changing it.” That gets used to justify statements that the 2020 election was unchallenged.

It appears that what the attorney general was trying to do was force the state Supreme Court’s hand by claiming that one district court didn’t have the standing to stop a whole state-wide certification. Jones also argued, with a straight face, that because the redistricting his party supported would eat into the time for candidates to know what district they were running for and if any primaries needed to take place. Any delay could be seen as “vote suppression.”

Had he been successful, any ruling regarding the legality of the referendum would meet the same response the questions about 2020 meet: “So sorry, already certified.” That makes the second part of this compelling.

Bloomberg, a Voice of the Crust.

A little-talked about investment product is taking over the 401(k) world, and offering asset managers a way to increase exposure to private markets.

At the heart of the US retirement industry, underpinning the later-life plans of millions of Americans, is a set of financial products that hardly anyone can tell you a thing about.

No one knows exactly how much money they control. No one can say how it’s all allocated. No single financial regulator is in charge of them. Yet Collective Investment Trusts are now a multi-trillion dollar business to rival mutual funds or ETFs — and are poised to become the backdoor through which more private assets are added to Americans’ retirement savings.
For years now, the country’s biggest employers have been slowly migrating workers’ nest eggs toward these pooled

ehicles, which are used exclusively by retirement plans. For 401(k)s with more than 100 participants, about 40% of all assets were invested in CITs by 2024, according to Department of Labor data, up from 12% in 2010 and above the share allocated to mutual funds.

Notice the statist priorities: Knowing exactly how much money they control. Knowing how it’s all allocated. Most importantly, no single financial regulator is in charge of them.

Things that the agents of the Deep State can’t know, can’t track, and can’t regulate, are a threat. Voices of the Crust are here to tell you how you ought to think about them.

As of the latest U.S election in late 2024, there were 120 Congressional districts with a non-white majority out of a total of 435. While only 25 to 45 percent are considered to have been created in reference to the 1965 Voting Rights Act specifically, the existence of all could potentially be in danger now that the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday changed an important provision concerning Section 2 of the law, which deals with, among other things, districting for elections.

The Voting Rights Act Section 2 specifies that district maps that give minorities “less opportunity than other members of the electorate to participate in the political process and to elect representatives of their choice” are illegal. This provision has been used in the past to create so called majority-minority districts, for example in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia, and has helped to elect more non-white candidates to Congress. Previously, plaintiffs had to prove that white and non-white voters in a certain locations do overwhelmingly chose different candidates and that the district they were aiming to create or uphold was not overly gerrymandered. On Thursday, the 6-3 Supreme Court decision penned by Justice Samuel Alito said that in the future, maps invoking Section 2 would have to prove present-day discrimination of the non-white group in question to justify such a district in addition to proving their racial voting patterns were distinct from regular partisan voting – something that opponents of the changes say is almost impossible to do.

Dissenting justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson called the changes a “demolition of the Voting Rights Act”.

Reform UK has pledged to build new detention centres for illegal migrants in areas that vote Green if it wins the next general election, in a proposal it says is designed to ensure “democratic consent” for its mass deportation policy.

Nigel Farage’s party said it would “prioritise” locating facilities in areas with Green councils or MPs, arguing this reflects the Green Party’s position on migration.

The announcement comes as both Reform and the Greens are expected to make significant gains in upcoming council elections. The Greens are projected to perform strongly in major cities including London, Newcastle, Cambridge, and Manchester, while Reform is targeting former industrial towns such as Walsall and Hartlepool, as well as Conservative strongholds like Essex.

Reform says it will deport all illegal migrants in Britain—estimated by the party to number up to 600,000—if it forms a government. It also plans to detain up to 24,000 people at any one time in new facilities while they await removal.

Europe is in far greater economic trouble that most people realize. In an April 2026 report by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), it was reveled that the UK’s GDP per capita is lower than all 50 U.S. states, including the poorest, Mississippi. While the majority of Britons mistakenly believe the UK is as wealthy or wealthier than the US, data shows the UK’s average income lags behind the lowest-performing US states, highlighting a significant economic gap.

The quiet decline of the once mighty British Empire right under the nose of the general populace is just one of many examples of Europe not understanding their own precarious economic circumstances.

Far-left governments on the other side of the Atlantic have openly sought to sabotage conservative political movements, imposing authoritarian lawfare and mass censorship in order to prevent losing their grip on power.

The 52-year-old man was tracked down by Taranto State Police after the authorities in southern Italy opened an investigation into domestic abuse and forced marriage following a complaint from the young woman last November.

As reported by Il Giornale, prosecutors say the victim told officers her father had demanded she marry a Kurdish man selected by him and had threatened her with death if she resisted or tried to flee abroad.

The woman had traveled from Iraq to join her family in Taranto, but investigators say she soon found herself trapped in what police described as a family campaign to force her into submission.

According to the allegations, her relatives sided with her father because they believed she wanted to live in a way that was too “Western” and incompatible with their cultural expectations.

When she refused to obey, her father allegedly held her captive inside an apartment in the southern Italian city and subjected her to violence that left her with injuries requiring 15 days to recover.

Many people are familiar with the “blue state exodus” over the past several years, but are they aware of the blue city business exodus?

It might be one of the biggest economic stories in modern US history, and Democrats are trying to keep it as quiet as possible. There is a blood letting going on in blue cities; a financial disaster in the making. And, like most financial disasters, it will probably be ignored until the house of cards comes crashing down completely.

For this examination let’s look at three very different examples, all facing similar crises. We start in New York City, where taxes have been consistently increased in order to offset the loss of billions in public revenues due to citizens leaving. NYC has experienced a net loss of around 220,000 residents since 2021, but it’s not the number of residents that is most important. Rather, it is the wealth of those residents that matters.

Historically speaking, crawling to communists for help has never been a good idea; there’s always a catch. By extension, making trade deals with China and the CCP from a position of weakness usually ends with diplomatic concessions instead of mere economic concessions. That is to say, the Chinese are less interested in economic benefits, and more interested in political submission.

Canadians are about to speed run this lesson after Prime Minister Mark Carney’s “new strategic partnership” formed with China early this year. The announcement has been heralded as a pragmatic reset in Canada-China relations after years of tensions, aimed at diversifying Canada’s trade amid U.S. tariffs under Trump. The goals of the deal include increased bilateral trade, agricultural agreements, currency swaps and energy exports.

The problem is, Carney also wants Canada to maintain its relationship with Taiwan, which the CCP views as a violation of their “One China” policy. Not surprisingly, China is already using their newfound economic leverage to pressure Canada to submit to their demands on Taiwan.

am aware that many here do not think that the entire effects of the experimental gene therapy known as the Covid vaccine have been adverse. Some may even still get “boosters” when they are offered. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and ways of thinking. I have been paying close attention to news and research reports that have always been out there; they were mostly suppressed by the legacy media and banned from multiple social media platforms when reports started showing up in mid-2021, showing numerous adverse effects of the Covid shots, up to and including death.

Right now, even the US government, which actively suppressed news reports of deaths and injuries, and heavily promoted the shots (and refused to allow proven existing medications to be used) is admitting that the harms of the shots are too obvious to ignore any longer. Countless reports of young athletes literally dropping dead on the playing fields have been publicized. Media news readers have collapsed over their desks in front of the public, but doctors continue to be “baffled” as to causes. Most young athletes and employees of media companies were mandated by their employers and schools to receive shots and boosters, yet vaccine injury is still not recognized as a cause in many cases.

On my blog, I do occasional big posts, bringing together news and research stories of individuals, groups, and countries where vaccine injuries leave people dead or severely disabled. Statistics show obvious spikes in deaths from “turbo-cancer” in people who have ZERO risk factors. Today, people under age 45 are being diagnosed with Stage Four colon and pancreatic cancers, who literally were completely healthy before. The only common factor is Covid shots. Yet much of the public remains blind to these risk factors staring them in the face.

During the California gubernatorial debate, Tom Steyer, who is a billionaire, claimed that the billionaires are out to get him.

“The billionaires and corporations are spending big in this race to oppose me and to support the other people on this stage,” he claimed.

This same statement is made by every Democrat in any race above the level of dog catcher, but when it’s being made by a candidate who is not only a billionaire, but whose only reason for running in any race is being a billionaire, that takes it to a whole other level of hypocritical grifting.

If Steyer were just a working class Bay Area millionaire like Gov. Gavin Newsom or Rep. Ro Khanna, but without their good hair and the connections to the Getty family, Willie Brown and Jeffrey Epstein, no one would have let the confused old leftist run for any kind of public office.

With billions in his pocket, Steyer is able to put $133 million on the table and buy himself a place as the front runner in the race after the previous front runner turned out to be a sex predator.

After Korea’s division in 1945 and the adoption of conflicting ideologies, contact between the two sides ceased, causing the language gap to gradually widen. South Korea adopted the Seoul dialect as its “standard language,” while North Korea declared the Pyongyang dialect to be its “cultural language.”

Over the decades, South and North Korean dialects have evolved in different directions, creating considerable discrepancies. The linguistic challenges defectors face go beyond accent differences, including a complex mixture of words that sound the same but have different meanings, words that sound different but mean the same thing, and South Korea’s rapidly changing slang and foreign loanwords.

These linguistic differences create more than just communication difficulties for defectors — they impact their identity and psychological well-being. This analysis examines specific examples of linguistic differences encountered by defectors and the resulting challenges they face during settlement.

Elizabeth Warren has built an entire political career on presenting herself as the righteous defender of ordinary Americans against powerful corporations.

Every speech is some variation of the same script: she’s fighting for workers, fighting for consumers, fighting for families, and standing up to greedy executives and monopolistic corporations that are supposedly rigging the system against everyone else. It is a message carefully designed to make her sound like a populist champion of the middle class while putting a polish on inherently broken socialist ideas.

When her flawed ideology collides with reality, it repeatedly produces outcomes that hurt the exact people she claims to represent. Spirit Airlines may be one of the clearest examples yet.

When JetBlue moved to acquire Spirit in 2022, Warren treated the deal like it was Apple, Netflix, Meta, Microsoft, Google, Amazon and the Third Reich all merging into one new authoritarian Orwellian company called Dystopian Evil Holdings, LLC.

She aggressively pushed regulators to block it, warning that the merger would reduce competition and raise ticket prices. The Biden administration’s Department of Justice embraced that argument and sued to stop the acquisition, ultimately succeeding when a federal judge blocked the deal.

As a result it went bankrupt, all of its shareholders lost their money, and all of their employees lost their jobs.

As the Trump administration cracks down on illegal immigration, the Justice Department this week advanced cases against illegal aliens running criminal enterprises—including a gun trafficking scheme orchestrated from behind bars.

In Georgia, the Justice Department announced the 25-year sentence of a Mexican illegal immigrant who used a contraband cell phone from inside a Georgia state prison to manage a massive drug and gun trafficking conspiracy.

Servando Corona Penaloza, a Georgia state prison inmate, was sentenced on Wednesday to 25 years in federal prison for orchestrating the sale of more than 1,000 kilograms of methamphetamine and fentanyl and the purchase of more than 200 military-style firearms transported to Mexico for use by Mexican cartels, according to the Justice Department.

He was in prison serving a sentence for a Gwinnett County drug trafficking offense.

He doesn’t really care about giving black voters better representation—he cares about the Democrats’ grasp for raw, naked political power, by any means necessary.

It’s not true that the Left doesn’t have guiding principles. One of the most influential is “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” America and Israel are the enemy; therefore Hamas and the current Iranian regime are the friends because they share the same enemies. Iran calls the US “The Great Satan” and Israel “The Little Satan.” There really couldn’t be more of a mind-meld between the Left and the Iranian leaders than that. Everything else is secondary or lower.

The left pretends to be for “the people” – but it’s the case only if the people are on the same side of an issue as the left. If the people choose wrongly, screw the people. One example of this is the left’s constant attempts to take down the duly-elected Trump, whether through assassination or impeachment or lies. The people of Israel can be raped and murdered or even blown to bits by a nuclear weapon, and according to the left they had it coming and will have had it coming.

And so the left is able to ignore the brutal Iranian regime’s killing of its own protesters. The left is aware that, were the protesters to win their battle, the Iranian people would almost certainly be grateful to none other than the oppressor Trump and The Great Satan the US, not to mention The Little Satan Israel.

Former Royal Marines and veterans of the Parachute Regiment have been hired to protect synagogues and Jewish schools as Britain braces for further antisemitic violence.

The deployment of elite ex-troops for security patrols can be revealed for the first time after the stabbing of two Jewish men in a suspected terrorist attack in Golders Green, northwest London, and a recent spate of fire bombings in the surrounding area.

The wave of incidents influenced the government’s decision on Thursday to raise the terrorism threat level from substantial to severe, meaning that another attack is now “highly likely”. MI5 said on its website that there was an “elevated threat to Jewish and Israeli individuals and institutions”.
