New polling indicates a notable shift in voter acknowledgment, with approximately 6 percent of individuals who previously confirmed voting for Donald Trump now denying their ballot. This denial is more prevalent among those who disapprove of his performance, with a significant portion falsely claiming to have voted for Kamala Harris or neither candidate. This phenomenon, known as “recall bias,” highlights how voter sentiment can influence retrospective reporting of past choices, especially when dissatisfaction with a candidate’s actions in office grows.

Croatia has recently made a significant decision, refusing to transport Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia through its port and the Adria pipeline. This move is framed as a stance against “war profiteering,” a bold declaration that resonates with many who are watching the ongoing geopolitical shifts with concern. For Croatia, this decision carries a particular weight, a echoes of their own recent past. Thirty-five years ago, Croatia faced what they describe as an existential threat, a situation that clearly informs their current position and their empathy for Ukraine.
From a Hungarian perspective, this Croatian decision is met with a strong sense of gratitude.… Continue reading
The recent deposition of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton before the House Oversight Committee regarding the Jeffrey Epstein investigation was abruptly halted after a Republican attendee, identified as Representative Lauren Boebert, leaked a photograph of Clinton testifying. This action immediately triggered objections from Clinton’s legal team, who argued that the leak violated the terms of the closed-door proceeding. Clinton herself had reportedly requested a public hearing if she were to be compelled to testify, a request that had been denied by the Republican chairman. The leak, therefore, served as a direct contravention of the agreement under which the deposition was taking place.… Continue reading
Hillary Clinton’s closed-door deposition regarding the Jeffrey Epstein investigation was temporarily suspended after a right-wing influencer published a photograph of her during the proceedings. The influencer claimed the photo was provided by GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert, who later defended the influencer’s actions, though she did not confirm providing the image. The pause allowed for an investigation into the source of the photo and potential violations of House rules, as the deposition is meant to be confidential until reviewed and released. Clinton herself has denied any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes and has called for a more serious inquiry.

Shah Alam, a visually impaired and non-English speaking individual, was arrested after being found disoriented and using curtain rods as walking sticks. Following an alleged altercation with police, he was charged with multiple offenses, including assault and possession of a weapon. After a year in a holding center, a plea deal on trespassing and weapon charges allowed him to resolve a detainer and be released, though he was left at a cafe seven miles from his family’s home.

During a grilling by a Republican-led panel, Hillary Clinton asserted she possessed no information about Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal activities, had never met him, and called for Donald Trump to testify regarding his own documented connections. Democrats contend the investigation is politically motivated, while Republicans maintain its purpose is to understand Epstein’s network. Despite initial resistance, the Clintons agreed to testify, though the depositions are being held behind closed doors.

A prominent Democrat on an oversight committee has voiced strong opinions that Attorney General Merrick Garland should indeed testify regarding the Jeffrey Epstein case. This call stems from a growing sentiment that the Department of Justice, under various administrations, has not been fully transparent or proactive in addressing the complexities and revelations surrounding Epstein’s network. The core of the argument is that Garland, as the current Attorney General, and potentially past Attorneys General, need to account for the handling of investigations and the release of information pertaining to the infamous financier.
The sentiment is that Merrick Garland has been avoiding scrutiny on this matter for a considerable period, and the current push for testimony is seen by many as long overdue.… Continue reading
China has reiterated its firm stance against nuclear escalation in Ukraine, urging all parties to exercise restraint and avoid actions that could lead to misunderstanding or miscalculation. This statement comes as Russia has accused Britain and France of planning to supply Kyiv with nuclear weapons, a claim China claims not to be familiar with the specifics of. Beijing consistently believes that nuclear weapons must not be used, a nuclear war must not be fought, and international non-proliferation obligations should be observed. President Xi Jinping also emphasized China’s support for consistent dialogue on the war, advocating for equal participation and consideration of all parties’ legitimate concerns.

The Prime Minister of Iceland has recently announced that the nation will be holding a referendum on European Union membership “in the coming months.” This news has certainly sparked a great deal of interest and discussion, and it’s a fascinating development to watch unfold.
My initial gut feeling is that this potential referendum might face similar hurdles to those that stalled previous attempts at EU accession. The primary sticking points, as they have been before, are likely to revolve around fishery rights and the adoption of the Euro. Iceland’s economy is heavily reliant on exports, and its fiscal needs, particularly as an almost entirely import-dependent nation, can feel at odds with the financial demands of larger European economies.… Continue reading
The latest developments concerning Nancy Guthrie’s case reveal a significant shift in FBI operations, with a notable reduction in personnel in Tucson and the relocation of a command post to Phoenix. This move, amidst ongoing speculation and concern over the investigation’s progress, has naturally sparked a great deal of discussion and opinion. Many express skepticism regarding the FBI’s effectiveness, citing the protracted nature of the investigation and the perceived lack of concrete leads. There’s a recurring sentiment that the initial timeframe for Guthrie’s survival, given her medical needs, has long since passed, leading to the grim conclusion by many that she is deceased.… Continue reading
