“The fact that former Air Force officers are training fighter pilots in China is an outrage. We can’t accept this,” Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, chair of the parliamentary defense committee, told Der Spiegel.

Relations between China and NATO have deteriorated significantly in recent years as both sides accuse each other of stoking tensions in the Taiwan Strait. The US-led alliance has described Beijing as a threat, while China accused the West of having a “Cold War mentality.”

According to PEOPLE, the Terminator star said: It reminds me of Howard Stern’s question to me. ‘Tell me, governor, what happens to us when we die?’ I said, ‘Nothing. You’re 6 feet under. Anyone that tells you something else is a f—ing liar.’ I said, ‘We don’t know what happens with the soul and all this spiritual stuff that I’m not an expert in, but I know that the body as we see each other now, we will never see each other again like that.’

The former bodybuilder went further. He said death is a topic he feels uncomfortable with before adding that heaven, in his mind, is a “fantasy.” ‘We Won’t See Each Other Again After We’re Gone’

I mean, I remember my Mounds candy bar in the 1960s used to be two ounces, and it became one point something," he said. It's turned into his passion. He now runs a website called Mouseprint.org where he writes about everything from paper towels to ice cream. His website has pages and pages dedicated to exposing new package sizing.

Shrinkflation is the art of reducing a package size but not reducing the price, and sometimes even raising the cost. It's not always easy to catch.

As Greg Price reported: “I have obtained an internal email @Target sent to their employees today, which asks them to participate in ‘Pride Week’ activities that include ‘Queer Bingo,’ a presentation on “How to be a better ally,” and a “Pride+ Pro Sports panel.”

Is Target the only company engaged in similar activities? Not even close. It’s safe to assume the vast majority of big companies in America are engaged in some way with pushing their employees into “Pride Month” festivities. But one might think Target of all companies would tone it down, at least until the dust settles. It appears they have learned nothing from their self-imposed misfortunes.

But the problem Target also faces — now that they’ve gone down this road — is that people are scrutinizing everything they do and finding more problematic instances where they appear to be taking political positions. For example, Target — through its nonprofit foundation — has provided funding for the NDN Collective. Among the things NDN is fighting against is Mount Rushmore, which they term “white supremacy.”

Fox asked Target why it would support an organization like this while also claiming to support veterans in its corporate announcements. Neither Target nor NDN responded to Fox’s inquiries immediately. We’ve already written about how Target supports an organization that would keep parents in the dark about their children being treated as a different gender by the school.

At present, most cultured meat companies still use fetal bovine serum (FBS) as the growth medium, which is obtained from unborn calves that are cut out of the womb and drained of their blood while still alive. Hence, most claims of cultured meat being animal-free or free of animal cruelty are false.

While the fake meat industry is being touted as an environmentally friendly and sustainable way to feed the world, the true intent is to recreate the kind of global control that Monsanto and others achieved through patented GMO seed development.

Here are our top five:

1 - Identity theft. This is best exemplified in gender appropriation, whereby anyone who says or believes they are a woman is indeed a woman and must be treated as such by others, at pain of social disapprobation and even legal punishment. The woke lack respect for previous identities.

2- Illiberalness. The woke perspective in many areas features a suspension of belief in public debate and the value of diverse viewpoints, to the point of being willing to invade and sabotage public spaces in which such debates and viewpoints are aired.

3 - Cancel culture. We see the cancellation imperative of woke in the destruction of symbols and rituals of the previously dominant Western culture: felling monuments, defacing art, negating traditional days of celebration, using disruption and chaos to draw attention to causes, and targeting the careers of those who defend the pre-existing culture.

4 - Victimhood. Woke places primacy in the public sphere on helplessness and victimhood, preferably victimhood resulting from perceived injustices at the hands of traditional Western culture.

5 - Alarmism. Woke promotes the idea of the collapse of civilisation due to human-induced threats (like climate, viruses, or the Chinese government) and adopts ever new totems allegedly to ward off that collapse.

Woke’s incessant harping on about tolerance, acceptance, inclusivity, and caring is all posturing, and in fact is the 180-degree opposite of the reality of its actions and reactions.

Subianto said at the forum on Saturday that the security situation in the Indo-Pacific, especially in East Asia, is dominated by tensions resulting from the rise of China as a major power in a world which has long been led by the United States. “History teaches us when a rising great power meets a preeminent global power, tensions do arise and the historical record shows many of these conflicts result in open conflict, kinetic conflict. However, this rivalry, some have suggested, has turned into a new Cold War. It is being called the Second Cold War,” Subianto said.

Chinese Defense Minister General Li Shangfu said at the conference that the US has been “deceiving and exploiting” Asia-Pacific nations to advance its own self interests to preserve “its dominant position.”

The slump in oil prices has helped US drivers fill their tanks more cheaply and gave consumers worldwide some relief from inflation. “Gas is not going to become cheaper,” Leon said. ”If anything, it will become marginally more expensive.”

While oil producers like Saudi Arabia need revenue to fund their state budgets, they also have to take into account the impact of higher prices on oil-consuming countries. Oil prices that go too high can fuel inflation, sapping consumer purchasing power and pushing central banks like the US Federal Reserve toward further interest rate hikes that can slow economic growth.

Our society is melting down right in front of our eyes, but don’t worry. CNN says that everything is going to be just fine. You believe them, don’t you? The Chinese certainly aren’t buying it. In recent months they have been stockpiling enormous amounts of gold… Conditions in the short-term are going to steadily get worse, and in the long-term they are going to get really bad.

But most Americans are just going to continue to trust our politicians and the “experts” on television that are assuring them that we are going to be able to avoid a major meltdown somehow. So they aren’t going to do anything to get prepared, and in the end they will be absolutely blindsided by an economic tsunami that they were absolutely convinced would never come.

Frericks said a lot of the money managed by institutional investors comes from big pension funds like those of the state of California, which put ideological pressure on the money managers. 'They - State Street, BlackRock, Vanguard - they have to commit to ESG [environmental, social and corporate governance - a set of standards measuring a business's impact on society, the environment, and how transparent and accountable it is], diversity, equity and inclusion and adopt firm-wide commitments that they therefore then force on to all of the major companies in corporate America,' said Frericks.

At this point, things have gotten so bad that even children singing the National Anthem is considered to be “offensive”… An unbelievable case of censorship took place when the esteemed Rushingbrook Children’s Choir was silenced by Capitol Police in the middle of singing the National Anthem at the United States Capitol. Despite having prior approval from Congress members, the police deemed their performance as a form of protest, sparking outrage and concern among citizens and lawmakers.

Are you kidding me? We can’t have little children singing the National Anthem because it “could be considered offensive or provoke conflict”? What in the world has happened to this country?

It turns out that the Bible is now considered to be offensive as well. The Christian faith stands in direct opposition to the new culture that the elite are relentlessly trying to impose on all of us, and so the Christian faith must be suppressed. Just recently, Billy Hallowell of CBN News posted “Jesus died so you could live” on Facebook, and he was informed by Facebook that his statement violated “our community standards on hate speech”… If I cannot even tell you that Jesus died so that you could live, what sort of society are we becoming? At this stage, we are not too far behind communist China where Christians are literally thrown in prison for what they believe…
