The United Nations is going broke and needs member nations to stump up cash. Lots of it. That is the plea from Secretary-General António Guterres who fears the globalist body is at risk of “imminent financial collapse” due to member states not paying their fees.
The former leader of the Portuguese Socialist Party said Friday the U.N. faces a financial crisis which was “deepening, threatening programme delivery” and money could run out as soon as July leaving the unaccountable globalist cabal destitute.
Such is the financial drama unfolding at U.N. headquarters in Geneva, signs warning of the situation have reportedly been put up everywhere.

The 98th Academy Awards will take place on March 15, 2026.

The category is for the best performance by a Somali immigrant seeking to pull the wool over the eyes of the American public. Several of these nominees have displayed their talents at press conferences. Let us examine some of these performances:

China’s infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), ground zero for the worldwide Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, has offered to help India contain an outbreak of the dangerous Nipah virus, even as Indian officials claim the outbreak is coming under control.
Researchers at the WIV claim they have developed a treatment for Wuhan coronavirus, an orally-administered anti-viral drug called VV116, that is also a “promising candidate for treating the Nipah virus.” [snip] The Nipah virus is one of the most dangerous infections on the planet, with a fatality rate of between 40% and 70%, according to the World Health Organization (W.H.O.).
Capitol Hill Republicans are nervously chattering amongst themselves about whether Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem could be the first member of President Donald Trump’s second-term Cabinet headed for the exit.
They’re looking in the wrong direction: They should be focused on whether they’re headed for the exits, too.
The big question facing Republicans in Washington and across the country isn’t who should run DHS, but how they can respond to the obvious questions about how Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol agents are doing their jobs.
Coming up with an answer that satisfies voters could decide whether November’s midterm elections allows Trump to continue his transformative agenda
We’re a little over a month into an industry-wide conversation about the future of tech in California, which is largely taking place off social media. At this point, most people know the conversation was triggered by a ballot proposition floated by the state’s largest health care union that seeks to legalize a first-of-its-kind asset seizure targeting (for now) billionaires.
Over the last week, I spoke with 21 billionaires about the looming prospect of a wealth tax. We discussed whether they left or are planning to leave California (most of them are), what a wealth tax means for the technology industry, and finally how, if at all, they plan to fight back.
An unhinged Virginia nurse who encouraged medical professionals to drug ICE agents with paralytic meds was swiftly canned.
Malinda Cook, a nurse anesthetist at Virginia Commonwealth University Health, was fired by the hospital on Tuesday after she spewed the disturbing remarks in a spate of TikTok videos.
Cook, who was identified by local media, blasted out her so-called “sabotage” tactics as anti-ICE riots exploded across the country. “Sabotage tactic, or at least scare tactic. All the medical providers, grab some syringes with needles on the end,” the nurse said on one clip spreading on social media.
“Have them full of saline or succinylcholine, you know, whatever. Whatever.
It's perfectly legal to travel, even by airplane, with a firearm. I tend to avoid it because it's such a pain in the posterior, but I don't fly a lot anyway. Professional athletes, however, do fly a good bit, especially during the season. Half of their games are away, and it's not like high school football, where your opponent is just a couple of hours away by bus.[snip]
Green Bay Packers player Rasheed Walker was arrested at LaGuardia Airport Friday morning after he tried to check a bag that contained a handgun and ammunition, prosecutors said.
A act of pure anti-Christian evil and animal cruelty happened over the weekend by a monster who almost certainly had no business being on the streets to begin with.
As KOMO News reported, a thug walked up and stabbed an innocent person and his dog at a nearby corner store after learning his victim was a Christian. The incident reported happened Sunday morning at nearby corner store in Parkland, Washington.
After being knifed, the victim called 911 at 6:24 a.m. to report the incident. Police discovered he and his dog were severely injured when they arrived on scene.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) on Wednesday said the country needs a national conversation about immigrants lacking permanent legal status who “obey the law,” as public opinion sours on the Trump administration’s deportation sweeps.

I run a fast casual chicken restaurant in Richfield, Minnesota, a suburb just south of Minneapolis. With ICE agents in the area, I don't know when — or if — staff will be able to come to work. We all have pretty set schedules, and we're tight-knit. There are only six of us operating this place, seven days a week. And I have concerns: Are my employees going to get stopped on their way to work? Are they going to be hassled or detained? Are they going to come back? It's a day-by-day thing. Over the past couple of weeks, we've adjusted

Disgraced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz claimed this week that he would “never again” run for office but did not share if he had ruled out stepping into Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s (D-MN) seat should she win the governor’s race and appoint him to replace her.In the weeks before Klobuchar announced her gubernatorial bid on Thursday, Townhall’s Dustin Grage reported that sources who helped predict Walz’s rise to becoming former Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 running mate indicated that “the plan is to clear the way for Amy Klobuchar, so she can appoint him to the U.S. Senate.”
California’s 66th Assembly District (AD-66).
AD-66 is home to Chevron’s El Segundo refinery and PBF Energy’s Torrance refinery. And until the end of last year, it was also home to Phillips 66’s Los Angeles refinery, which has now stopped producing transportation fuel entirely. Three major refineries in one Assembly district. One is already offline. Two remain, operating under growing regulatory and economic pressure.
That did not happen by chance.
Over the last four decades, California has steadily reduced its in-state refining footprint through a mix of regulatory pressure, capital flight, and policy uncertainty.
California drivers and Republican legislators are furious over a Democrat-led proposal that could see motorists taxed for each mile they drive.

Apparently, the Senate and House intelligence committees are very concerned about what Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is doing. Almost every tweet from Senator Mark Warner in the past 48 hours has been about DNI Tulsi Gabbard.
What seems to worry them the most is that they don’t know exactly what she is doing. Triggered by Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) Vice-Chairman Mark Warner, the Democrats are now demanding Director Gabbard tell them her intentions and her itinerary so they can monitor her activity. Tulsi Gabbard continues to review internal government activity without consulting them. .”
