Cuban students and their parents are preparing to start a new school year in Cuba next week marked by a growing shortage of teachers, lack of adequate supplies, and worsening blackouts in the communism-ruined nation. Cuba will begin its 2026-2027 school year on Tuesday, September 1. According to the communist regime, about 1.4 million Cuban students are called to return to classes on that day. The shortcomings caused by the ongoing communism-induced collapse of Cuba’s infrastructure have forced the Castro regime to introduce special changes to an already notoriously inefficient education system.

Warsh has argued for years that central banks can damage decision-making by saying too much about future policy. On Friday, marking his 100th day as Fed chairman, he made clear that view will shape how he intends to run the central bank. “You might know about…

During an interview released on Wednesday’s edition of CBS’s “The Takeout,” Sen. Jim Justice (R-WV) discussed the midterms and said that “The people are hurting all across this country, and no matter how much they love us, if they’re hurting, they can’t stand with us.” And “we’ve done a lot of good stuff, and I love our president, I think he’s done amazing stuff, … but at the same time, there’s a lot of stuff that’s hanging out there that’s causing a lot of people a lot of grief.” Host and CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett said, “Senator,…

Mikhaylo Fedorov – Wiki Commons Fedorov will take his modernization ideas to the Italian Ministry of Defense. Some 40 days ago, the young and popular Ukrainian Defense Minister Mikhaylo Fedorov was dismissed by Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky after disagreements with army leadership. His departure ignited a rare season of protests in Ukraine, with mostly young protesters demanding the firing of Commander-in-Chief General Oleksandr Syrsky, and the reappointment of Fedorov. These protests, in conjunction with the corruption investigations by NABU and SAPO, were enough of a problem that Zelensky decided to fire Syrsky. But while he offered Fedorov several other…

A lake that formed along the border between China and Nepal during Wednesday’s terrifying flash floods overflowed on Thursday, prompting a temporary suspension of rescue efforts due to fears of another flood cascade. The newly formed body of water is known as a “barrier lake” because its perimeter was formed by debris from the earlier floods. The debris effectively dammed the junction of the Tsogyal and Purupqiangzangbu Rivers, turning the intersection into an unsteady reservoir of water. The barrier lake held about 50 million cubic feet of water when it formed during Wednesday’s floods and was up to 90 million cubic…

Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh took a hawkish stance on inflation on Friday, indicating that he views the economy as strong, labor markets as healthy, and inflation still too high and showing little signs of progressing toward the Fed’s two percent goal. “We must be confident that underlying inflation is moving to our objective, clearly and at sufficient speed. Otherwise, we have work to do,” he said in his debut speech as Fed chair at the Kansas City Fed’s annual symposium in Jackson, Wyoming. Warsh sounded confident about economic growth and the labor market, pointing to high profits, robust business…

Jeff Landry (R) said that “when I went into Congress in 2011, we were talking about grid resiliency and how the United States’ electrical grid was in shambles, and today, it still is.” And Louisiana’s data center agreement “gives us an opportunity to ensure that our grid is stronger and more resilient and to be able to do it without bearing that cost onto the ratepayers.” Co-host Lawrence Jones asked, “I want to talk about data centers, because you’re not backing down, it’s become a hot topic,…
