The U.S. military conducted its 20th strike on a boat suspected of drug trafficking in the Caribbean Sea, resulting in four fatalities and raising the total death toll from these operations to 80 since September.

Trump drops tariffs on dozens of food items, from beef to bananas, which has certainly stirred up a lot of discussion. It’s fascinating, isn’t it, how a seemingly straightforward move can generate such a spectrum of reactions? Some people are outright questioning the motives, others are skeptical about the actual impact, and many are simply confused. It’s like everyone’s trying to decipher the true implications of this decision.
The core of the matter seems to be around whether tariffs were actually the reason food prices were so high to begin with. If the argument is that tariffs *didn’t* cause higher prices, then logically, why would removing them lead to lower prices?… Continue reading

The Vatican has returned 62 artifacts to Indigenous peoples from Canada, including an Inuit kayak, as part of its efforts to address the Catholic Church’s role in suppressing Indigenous culture.
