We’ve warned more times than I care to count that governments are likely to steal from citizens’ pension funds. Why? Because it’s a big pool of cash just sitting there — and when the parasite class sees money within their reach, they simply can’t help themselves. Perhaps most importantly, governments have control over most pension funds in the world. Sure, most people think it’s their money sitting in the pension plan, but when you look at the fine print there’s a lot that you as an investor can’t do with ‘your money’. First up. The “lucky country,” Australia. “The Albanese…

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) – A cargo ship traveling through the Strait of Hormuz on a United Nations-approved route was hit by a projectile Thursday, the British military said, as several tankers made their way out of the channel using the same path. Iran has threatened vessels using the path that runs along the coast of Oman. It was promoted by a U.N. maritime agency. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center reported the attack. It said there were no causalities or any environmental impact. The opening of an alternative passage through the vital waterway would relieve pressure on…

As part of Breitbart’s America 250 coverage, we proudly present American Tributes. This special section showcases original videos sent to us from members of Congress, the Cabinet, and the Administration… all thematically connected by one simple premise: love of country. In a video for Breitbart News’s American Tributes project, Sen. Todd Young (R-IN) spoke about how the character of people in America consists of people who are “casual,” free, and proud, people who “bow to no one.” Young also spoke about how Americans were “fiercely competitive,” while also celebrating people’s differences. “What I love about America is the character of our…

Still reeling from their leader’s electoral defeat earlier this week, members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus are warily preparing to welcome his successor — with some conditions. Darializa Avila Chevalier — a democratic socialist who ousted Hispanic Caucus Chair Adriano Espaillat in Tuesday’s New York primary and is expected to win the general election — plans to join the coalition currently composed of 42 Democrats across the party’s ideological spectrum. “ICE kidnappings have sent school absenteeism rates skyrocketing across New York City since immigrant parents are too afraid to send their children to school,” Avalia Chevalier said in a statement…

Larry Sanger, the co-founder of Wikipedia, was banned indefinitely this week from the site he helped establish in what one editor likened to a “show trial” over Sanger’s efforts to form a group on the site that would advocate for policy reforms promoting intellectual diversity. Leftist editors accused him of attempting to rig discussion about the group after he discussed it on social media and in a news interview. Fellow co-founder Jimmy Wales criticized the ban and disputed the allegations, while supporting the essence of Sanger’s effort to encourage a diversity of viewpoints. Some editors also accused Sanger of endorsing…

PIEDMONT, Italy – Thousands of Venezuelans living abroad — myself included — have spent the past hours desperately trying to contact friends and family back home as news surfaced of the devastating twin earthquakes that struck the country on Wednesday. Venezuela, a nation that has already suffered tremendously under socialism in the past two decades, is enduring another tragedy after two magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes hit the country on Wednesday evening. The continuously climbing death toll, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) warned, has a high probability of ending up in the thousands or above. One cannot begin to imagine the…

What if They Held an Oil Crisis and No One Showed Up? The most remarkable thing about the U.S. economy right now is its resilience. When the price of oil started climbing after Iran succeeded in halting traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, there was good reason to worry that soaring gasoline prices would become a serious economic drag. Far more than creating risk of persistent inflation, higher gasoline prices risked siphoning demand from other parts of the economy. In the worst-case scenario, falling sales would trigger layoffs and raise unemployment, setting off a negative economic spiral. It did not…

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) released its decision in Wolford v. Lopez Thursday and ruled that Hawaii’s law regarding concealed carry on private property violates the 2nd and 14th Amendments. The law bars licensed concealed carriers from being armed on private property for self-defense without first receiving the affirmative consent of the property owner. The case came to SCOTUS after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the law. The SCOTUSBlog summarized the decision: “The court holds Hawaii’s law barring licensed concealed-carry permit holders from carrying handguns on private property open to the public without the property owner’s express…
