Americans were greeted with overwhelming cheers as well as some groans by spectators at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Milan Cortina, Italy. NBC’s announcer and former tennis player Mary Carillo emphasized a smattering of jeers when Vice President J.D. Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance appeared on screen, even claiming some hisses could be heard from the crowd. However, video suggests there were far more cheers and any booing quickly subsided. Mary Carillo was co-hosting in place of Savannah Guthrie, who has taken leave due to her mother being taken hostage. Far-left propaganda outlets online immediately weaponized her claim of…

Headlines blared about a crash, and mainstream financial media quickly supplied a convenient, surface-level explanation. But for those who understand the true nature of the modern financial system, this was no ordinary market correction. It was a deliberate psychological terror campaign—a controlled demolition designed to engineer a stampede of fear. The goal was clear: to panic the holders of paper silver derivatives—the ETFs, futures contracts, and leveraged positions—into selling…

LONDON (AP) – British police said they were examining claims that the former Prince Andrew sent confidential trade reports to Jeffrey Epstein, as Prince William’s office said he was “deeply concerned” about the revelations coming out of the U.S. investigation into the late sex offender.

An anti-monarchy campaigner said he reported the former…
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani invoked Islam’s Hijrah — a concept he framed as a religious model for migration — as he rolled out a sanctuary-related executive order Friday, drawing backlash from critics who accused him of using religious doctrine to justify mass migration and shield illegal immigrants from federal enforcement. Mamdani announced the order at his first Interfaith Breakfast at the New York Public Library, accusing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents of “visit[ing] terror upon our neighbors,” and likening their presence to riders arriving “atop a pale horse.” “We will make it clear once again ICE will…
The congressional investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein hit its latest snag Monday morning when Epstein’s longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, declined to answer questions in a sworn deposition. Maxwell, now serving a 20-year sentence for her part in Epstein’s sex trafficking scheme, invoked her Fifth Amendment right over video from a prison camp in Texas, months after she had been subpoenaed by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. In a copy of Maxwell’s lawyer’s opening statement obtained by POLITICO, David Oscar Markus reiterated that grant of clemency would facilitate her testimony — a power only President Donald Trump…

Chinese regulators have advised the country’s biggest banks to rein in their exposure to U.S. Treasuries, citing concentration risk and market volatility, Bloomberg News reported Monday. The guidance, delivered verbally in recent weeks, included instructions to limit purchases of U.S. government bonds and for banks with heavier exposure to pare positions, according to people familiar with the matter cited by Bloomberg. Bloomberg said the directive does not apply to China’s state holdings of Treasuries. Officials framed the move as a market-risk diversification step rather than a geopolitical signal or a judgment on U.S. creditworthiness, Bloomberg reported. The people said regulators…
