Chilean communist politician and former Labor Minister Jeannette Jara overwhelmingly won in Sunday’s “progressive primary,” becoming the incumbent leftist government’s presidential candidate for the November 16 general election. Jara’s victory also marks the first time in 25 years that the Chilean Communist Party has fielded a presidential candidate. Chile held a national presidential election process on Sunday ahead of the November presidential and legislative elections. “Unity for Chile,” a coalition of several leftist parties that form part of the current administration of far-left President Gabriel Boric, was the only bloc that participated in Sunday’s primary. The Unity for Chile parties…

LONDON (AP) – British Prime Minister Keir Starmer marks a year in office this week, fighting a rebellion from his own party in a vote Tuesday on welfare reform and reckoning with a sluggish economy and rock-bottom approval ratings. It´s a long way from the landslide election victory he won on July 4, 2024, when Starmer´s center-left Labour Party took 412 of the 650 seats in the House of Commons to end 14 years of Conservative government. In the past 12 months, Starmer has navigated the rapids of a turbulent world, winning praise for rallying international support for Ukraine and…

A pig farm next to the Toachi River in northeast Ecuador.Tex Montes de Oca It’s hard to overstate the importance of rivers like Peripa to residents of Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, Ecuador. “For us, losing a river means losing our life, losing our identity, because there we find healing medicine, because we use the waters as a source of cleansing. For us, it’s something very sacred,” says Ricardo Calazacón, who has continued the centuries-old Indigenous Tsáchila tradition of using local medicinal plants. His father first noticed Proanaca’s operations in Santo Domingo in the 1990s, when the food company established…

ROBERT REICH IN HIS OFFICETHE LAST CLASS I had the pleasure of a wide-ranging conversation on June 23 with Robert Reich, economist, lawyer, professor, and former Secretary of Labor. In it he offered a passionate defense of higher education in the United State while also issuing stark warnings about the challenges higher education faces from within and without. Reich, who has taught over 40,000 students since 1981 at Harvard, Brandeis and UC Berkeley, reflected on the joys and responsibilities of teaching, the importance of civil discourse, and the existential threats facing American higher education. “Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny,”…

A narcissistic US President thinking he runs the world while Iran and the Resistance Axis are proving him wrong time and time again. Points about the alleged US-Iran-Israel ceasefire that Trump is yelling about on X. These points are just me thinking out loud – feel free to add your opinions:M Ceasefires are never honoured by Israel or the US. See Lebanon, Palestine, violations of demarcation zone in Syria etc. Israel is a consumer more than a producer of weapons. Iran is a producer more than a consumer. Ceasefires are an opportunity for Israel to replenish stocks with US allied…

A group of families who had their loved ones slaughtered by drug cartels are asking the Trump administration to designate the Juarez Cartel and its armed wing La Linea, as foreign terrorist organizations. The move would place that cartel on the same list as six other Mexican cartels previously designated as FTOs In a letter sent to the U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the members of American Families Against Cartel Terrorism asked Trump administration officials to designate La Linea and the Juarez Cartel as foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs). As Breitbart Texas reported, the Juarez Cartel is one of the…

California legislators took a rare step in the right direction on Monday when they passed a law rolling back the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) restrictions on building housing in urban “infill” areas. Calmatters.org explained: With the passage of a state budget-related housing bill, the California Environmental Quality Act will be a non-issue for a decisive swath of urban residential development in California. In practice, that means most new apartment buildings will no longer face the open threat of environmental litigation. It also means most urban developers will no longer have to study, predict and mitigate the ways that new housing might…

The dewy-eyed trio of former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush alongside singer Bono all mourned the passing of USAID on Monday, with the U2 frontman reciting a sad poem he wrote to lament the occasion. A highly emotional video farewell was released by the teary threesome as a last goodbye to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and its 10,000 employees – all funded by U.S. taxpayers – AP reports. The former presidents and Bono spoke with thousands in the global USAID community in a videoconference, which was billed as a closed-press event to allow political leaders and others…

John Cornyn is not going down without a fight. After months of polls showing the four-term Texas senator trailing in the Republican primary, a pro-Cornyn super PAC raised almost $11 million in the most recent fundraising period. Texans for a Conservative Majority, the outside group supporting Cornyn in his primary challenge from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, will have over $12 million cash on hand after the current fundraising quarter. The group has raised over $10.9 million in the quarter after Paxton announced his primary challenge against Cornyn. Cornyn has been consistently trailing polls in the Senate primary against Paxton,…
