The Economy Throws the Fed a Curveball When the Federal Reserve officials last met in mid-March to decide on interest rates, they signaled hopes that the path of the economy would become clearer over time—giving them a solid perch from which to shape monetary policy.

Meanwhile, some controversial changes the moderates had blanched at appear to…

Starmer may undo the cut of fuel subsidy for poor pensioners. Just between us: if Labour leader Keir Starmer had run in UK’s last General Elections with a platform of ‘cutting fuel subsidy for poor pensioners and releasing dangerous criminals from jail to make room’, he would never have achieved a landslide victory like he did. But once elected, among many scandals and in parallel to other deranged Globalist policies, that’s exactly what he did. Now, after getting crushed by Nigel Farage’s Reform UK in the latest local elections, Starmer is considering reinstating the winter fuel payment for thousands of…
