As BRICS challenges Bretton Woods dominance, India balances de-dollarisation, sovereignty, and global financial realignment.
Deep in the vaults of the Reserve Bank of India, a quiet metamorphosis is unfolding. Over one decade, India’s gold reserves have doubled to $682 billion—the yellow metal’s share rising steadily. In Moscow, the Central Bank executed something more dramatic: a total liquidation of its $90-billion U.S. Treasury portfolio, replaced by 2,330 metric tonnes of physical gold now comprising 44 per cent of reserves—a sovereign reallocation without precedent in modern monetary history. These are symptoms of a tectonic shift reshaping global finance’s architecture
Are antifa members civilized human beings entitled to human rights and civil discourse, or are they gutterally growling wild animals?
Get a load of what they were caught doing in New Jersey: (X) That's what hogs or bears or raccoons do; they empty and dump garbage bags, wherever they find them, in their case, for practical reasons: to find the best pickins.' Then they crap all over the place, or make whoopee together inside the clanking cans, entirely fulfilling their animal nature, and leaving the rest of us a huge mess.
Antifa, on the other hand just dumps the trash for its own sake, supposedly because
The Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) is Congressman Rick Crawford from Arkansas CD-01. Coincidentally the same state as Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman, Tom Cotton.
In a preview of an upcoming (June 1) podcast interview with talk show host Paul Harrell, HPSCI Chairman Crawford discusses the departure of DNI Tulsi Gabbard and the role she played within the aggregate intelligence apparatus. You might find some of Chairman’s remarks to be familiar. WATCH:
Historically, antisemitism was endemic in American medicine in the early to mid-20th century, with quotas on Jewish students and residency trainees until the 1960s.
But in 2023, antisemitic incidents dramatically increased, with a 140% increase from 2022 and the highest since data collection began in 1979.
A short sampling of antisemitic acts include:
Antisemitic slogans at the UCLA Geffen School of Medicine,
Antisemitic graffiti at the UCSF Cancer Center,
Jewish medical students’ exposure to demonization of Israel diatribes and rationalizing terrorism;
Faculty, including a professor of medicine at UCSF, posting antisemitic tropes and derogatory comments about Jewish health-care professionals.
In Combating the Shocking Rise of Antisemitism in Health Care,
Maine Republican gubernatorial candidate Jonathan Bush explained that voters in Maine are “sick to death” of Maine’s Democrat Gov. Janet Mills, who is term-limited.
While speaking with Breitbart News Saturday host Matthew Boyle, Bush noted that while people think the state is “irretrievably blue,” the state is actually purple, and turning red.
“Maine is purple, and coming red this time around. We’ve changed governor’s mansions every eight years for the last eighty years. Everybody in Maine is sick to death of the current governor, who is term-limited. But everybody running on the Democratic side is in her administration,” Bush said.
Is it? Or is it the ultimate test of Democrats' continuing Beto strategy in Texas? Find a male candidate, freshen him up with an Annie Leibovitz photo shoot, make vague references to the Kennedy dynasty in a state that couldn't care less about it, and pull tens of millions of dollars from closer races?
I know which way I'm betting on "tests." Axios gives us the mainstream media bet:
The Texas Senate race has become a national laboratory for anti-"woke" politics, testing whether voters still recoil from the language of 2020 amid the economic pain of 2026.
Why it matters: Republicans came away from 2024 convinced they had won more than an election
The wife of Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner told his campaign in 2025 about sexual messages he had sent to other women.
Amy Gertner, whom Platner has been married to since November 2023, told the campaign about the texts during an internal vetting process last year at the beginning of his campaign. Gertner's disclosure of the texts were first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
In a statement from Gertner provided by the Platner campaign, she wrote that they have gone through counseling and that their marriage today "is stronger than ever before."
Maine Republican state Sen. Trey Stewart is warning that Democrats are "selling their soul" by defending controversial Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner and that the Democratic Party is moving to a "dangerous place" if he wins a Senate seat in November.
"The voters care a lot," Stewart told Fox News Digital about the mounting criticisms of Platner, including deleted social posts where he described himself as a "communist" and "socialist," used alleged homophobic slurs, and disparaged the military.
"I think that he's a flash in the pan for right now amongst extreme liberal Democrats who can't see past defeating Susan Collins at any cost,
Billionaire investor Peter Thiel has reportedly moved his family to Buenos Aires, Argentina, in order to get away from high taxes in the United States — and to flee what he suspects will be a nuclear war and runaway AI.
Thiel privately met with Argentine President Javier Milei, bought a mansion in one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in the country’s capital, and relocated his family there, according to a report by the New York Times.
The PayPal co-founder has since enrolled his kids in a Buenos Aires school, and even bought a plot of land in neighboring Uruguay, a source familiar with the purchase told the newspaper.
The Republican Party of Wisconsin wants the state Election Commission to conduct an investigation into how 152 duplicate absentee ballots were mailed out by the city of Green Bay before the April election, The Center Square reported Friday.
The commission clerk has stated that no duplicate ballots were returned or counted, so there is no need for an investigation, claiming that the law prohibits multiple voting but does not say anything about the multiple issuance of ballots.The party, however, believes that the issuance of the duplicate ballots was illegal. The investigation request was filed on behalf of Theresa Sipes,

boat strike replies
U.S Southern Command says it killed "three male narco-terrorists" Friday in a strike on a drug boat "transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific" that was "engaged in narco-trafficking operations," with no U.S. forces killed, in a post on X Friday night with video of the strike.
Commander Gen. Francis Donovan ordered Joint Task Force Southern Spear to conduct the "lethal kinetic strike" on the vessel, which SOUTHCOM claimed was "operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations." The command is "unwavering in its commitment to applying total systemic friction on the cartels."
President Trump is signing off on a decision from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) earlier this year to cut down on the number of required vaccinations for children.
The president endorsed these adjusted immunization requirements in an executive order on Friday. Trump cited his administration’s commitment to “protecting religious liberty and parental authority” in the order. Therefore, it is the policy of the United States that the core childhood vaccine schedule should be aligned with scientific evidence and best practices from peer, developed countries while preserving access to vaccines currently available to Americans—
California’s state Assembly passed the “Stop Nick Shirley Act” on Tuesday, and yet, Nick Shirley is still out here filming.
The Dallas Express covered the legislation in April, when the Assembly Judiciary Committee advanced the bill 11-2. At the time, Republican Assemblymember Carl DeMaio gave it the nickname that has since stuck, warning the legislation was designed not to protect vulnerable workers, but to silence independent journalists.AB 2624 can only be described as the ‘Stop Nick Shirley Act’ – a bill designed to silence citizen journalists exposing fraud and abuse of taxpayer dollars,” DeMaio said at the time.

David Rush’s gold bar scandal: ‘Humiliation
for the CIA’ replies
The CIA should have known something was off the moment ex-officer David Rush demanded 667 pounds of gold bullion.
Instead of requesting diamonds or rare gems — the far lighter, more mobile currency the agency has long favored for clandestine work — Rush asked for heavy gold bars, a choice a former senior CIA official told The Post was an obvious red flag.
Now Rush is incarcerated in an Alexandria, Va., lockup and charged carrying out a massive theft – although it is the spy agency itself facing tough questions from lawmakers about how he was ever allowed to get this far.
President Trump is touting a performer who draws larger crowds than “Elvis” to headline the Great American State Fair on the National Mall, after numerous high-profile cancellations — himself.
Trump posted about the idea Saturday of giving a “major” speech and holding an “AMERICA IS BACK” rally, after a series of musicians pulled out following the announcement of the scheduled lineup in DC – among them Poison frontman Bret Michaels, country crooner Martina McBride and R&B group The Commodores.
“I understand Artists are getting “the yips” having to do with their performance on Wednesday, so I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World,
BOSTON —
Did you hear or feel it? Viewers from across Massachusetts are reporting hearing a loud boom Saturday afternoon, but it's not immediately clear what it was.
Following our initial report, multiple witnesses shared video of the sudden boom. All were recorded at approximately 2:11 p.m. At approximately that same time, NOAA's GOES-19 weather satellite Geostationary Lightning Mapper shows a burst over the Massachusetts coast. Viewers shared similar experiences with WCVB, thinking a tree hit their home or a transformer blew up.

United Airlines Flight 2005, operating from O’Hare International Airport to Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, was forced to divert to Dane County Regional Airport after a Level 4 security incident was reported on board. Authorities said law enforcement personnel who were on the aircraft successfully restrained the individual involved until the plane landed, where additional officers were waiting to take over the situation.
What Exactly Happened?
The United Airlines flight number UAL2005 departed from the Chicago O’Hare International Airport on May 29 2026, 8:31 PM CDT (May 30, 7:01 AM IST) and was scheduled to arrive at Minneapolis Saint Paul International Airport. However, mid-flight, a passenger, whose details

he is: physical replies
President Trump received a largely clean bill of health at his annual physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, including a "normal" score of 30 out of 30 on his cognitive assessment, according to a White House memo attributed to his physician, undermining liberal speculation of a President Biden-like mental decline.
Physician to the President Sean Barbabella's May 29 memo, which unlike his memo for Trump's annual physical in April 2025 does not appear to have been posted on the White House website, only noted two deficiencies.
The president has "slight lower leg swelling," which has "improved" from last year when he was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, and
The 119th Congress has taken roughly 16 breaks from Capitol Hill thus far despite a record-long shutdown and a war with Iran.
The House and Senate followed through with their recesses during historically rocky times, including when the longest government shutdown in history took place in the Fall of 2025, lasting 43 days. During that time, Speaker Mike Johnson extended district work periods and the House did not return for regular votes, while the Senate took short breaks that prolonged the shutdown.
Throughout the shutdown, the Senate reconvened for votes during the first week of October and continued meeting into November to negotiate on continuing resolutions.

market under bill aimed at Chinese automaker ownership replies
Mercedes-Benz could find itself shut out of the U.S. auto market — banned from making or selling new vehicles in the country — under legislation making its way through Congress.
New bipartisan legislation aimed at limiting Chinese involvement in the U.S. auto market may sweep in Mercedes-Benz unless the bill is changed or the German automaker’s largest shareholder sells its stake. The bill, the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act of 2026, would prohibit automakers that have “any direct or indirect equity interest by a foreign-adversary government,” such as China, from importing, selling or manufacturing vehicles for sale in the U.S.
Mercedes-Benz’s largest individual shareholder is the state-owned Chinese automaker BAIC,

We’ve seen plenty of “transanity” over the last few years, with transgender extremists demanding we call males "women," mothers “birthing people,” and individuals “they.” My general philosophy has always been, “you be you, and I’ll be me,” and that’s all well and good — but there are two places where that concept is overruled and where I believe we as a society need to draw a red line.
One: When it comes to this advocating that we mutilate minors suffering from gender dysphoria to “become” their chosen “gender identity,” just say no; and two, when it comes to allowing biological males to compete against females, often taking their trophies
Democrats and liberal media seem to be constantly taking issue with anything President Donald Trump does, regardless of the merits of his actions.
But they've now truly jumped the shark with their Trump Derangement Syndrome when they're objecting to Trump cleaning up fountains and monuments around Washington, D.C. Our sister site Townhall reported on some of the interesting reaction.
Here's the account that used to be the Kamala Harris Headquarters account, terming things like spending on the Reflecting Pool, Trump "vanity projects."
The Department of Housing and Urban Development on Friday launched an investigation into Multnomah County, Oregon, over the county's race-based homelessness programs, writing in a letter to county officials that the programs likely violate the Fair Housing Act.
The move comes after the Washington Free Beacon reported that Multnomah County, which includes most of Portland, awards more points for "requesting culturally responsive services" than for being "homeless 12+ months" in its allocation scheme for housing services. Individuals must reach a certain cutoff on the points-based index in order to qualify for supportive housing. The county also sets aside "culturally specific" apartments for the "BIPOC community," part of a broader package
Top Democratic officials and lawmakers are breaking with Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner as his past blunders and online history stack up.
Platner’s ascendency to the top of the ticket in Vacationland broke with the Democratic establishment in Washington, D.C., and since Maine Gov. Janet Mills exited from the race, questions about whether he is the right choice to take on Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, have exploded.
Much of that is fueled by scandals that have cropped up seemingly week after week, be it a tattoo on his chest of a Nazi symbol or inflammatory posts online.
