Moscow Warns German Arms Factory In Ukraine Is ‘A Legitimate Target’
– Moscow Warns German Arms Factory In Ukraine Is ‘A Legitimate Target’:
The Dusseldorf-based German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall this week announced that it has completed delivery of twenty more 20 Marder 1A3 infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) to Ukraine.
But its relationship with Kiev has gone much further, becoming among the very first major European arms companies to open a factory in Ukraine. This has provoked outrage among Kremlin officials, who are now warning that military action could be taken against the Rheinmetall plant.
Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov has told reporters in a briefing that “A plant of Rheinmetall, a German arms manufacturer, launched in Ukraine, is a legitimate military target for the Russian Armed Forces.”

China Hemorrhages Third Of All Billionaires Amid Property Market Crisis
– China Hemorrhages Third Of All Billionaires Amid Property Market Crisis:
Chinese billionaires have lost massive wealth due to the property market downturn and turmoil in the world’s second-largest economy. In response, Beijing has rolled out yet another stimulus package, this time on Tuesday, as the Communist Party of China seeks to appear more proactive in supporting the economy amid a decades-long, investment-driven growth model that has hit stumbling blocks over the last several years.
The multi-year economic downturn has roiled the billionaire class in China, with many losing their billionaire status and being downgraded to centi-millionaire.
Financial Times cites new data from research group Hurun, which shows the number of dollar billionaires plunged by over one-third in the last three years. The destruction of the billionaire class has been met with a barrage of stimulus measures to address underlying structural problems (debt, fertility crisis, deflation, property market woes, ect…), crushing the economy into a slow growth regime.
Hurun data shows that at the 2021 peak, there were 1,185 dollar billionaires in China. By the second half of 2024, that number plunged to 753, or about a 36% plunge, surpassing a 10% drop in the renminbi’s value against the dollar over the same period. This year alone, the number of dollar billionaires in China tumbled 16%, when the renminbi only depreciated by 2.5% against the dollar.

Trump To Unleash Financial Armageddon On Mexican Drug Cartels If He Wins: We Will Be “Seizing Assets”
– Trump To Unleash Financial Armageddon On Mexican Drug Cartels If He Wins: We Will Be “Seizing Assets”:
Former President Trump reportedly told allies earlier this year that he would covertly deploy Tier 1 US Special Forces operators to Mexico to wipe out drug cartel leadership if he returns to the White House. However, storming the command and control centers of cartels with guns blazing may not be the proper strategy to dismantle these criminal organizations.
“I’m announcing that for the first time under my administration, we are seizing the assets of the criminal gangs and drug cartels and we will use those assets to create a compensation fund to provide restitution for the victims of migrant crime,” Trump said at a press conference on Tuesday at Mar-a-Lago.

“Complete Lawlessness”: Seattle Residents Concerned With “Chaos” Cause By Illegal Street Racing
– “Complete Lawlessness”: Seattle Residents Concerned With “Chaos” Cause By Illegal Street Racing:
We’ve already seen it wreak havoc in cities like Philadelphia, and now illegal street racing is taking over another Democrat-run, Democrat-DA led city: Seattle. And the chaos is starting to concern residents.
Seattle police are seeking drivers involved in two weekend “street takeovers” that caused traffic jams and alarmed nearby residents and workers, KING5 Seattle reported on Monday.
Resident Clay Church said: “Felt like chaos and you something you see at a frat party. Ten fireworks I saw. Multiple were thrown at the cop cars directly. That’s kind of when the cops backed another block. [It was] really loud between that and the cars, complete chaos.”
“One hundred to 150 people out here with their cars essentially, drag racing, doing donuts. Kind of complete lawlessness, really,” Church added.
The Most Devastating COVID Report So Far
– The Most Devastating COVID Report So Far:
The House report on HHS Covid propaganda is devastating. The Biden administration spent almost $1 billion to push falsehoods about Covid vaccines, boosters, and masks on the American people. If a pharma company had run the campaign, it would have been fined out of existence.

Chicago Tops ‘Rattiest Cities’ List For Decade As Other Democrat-Run Metros Plagued With Disgusting Rats
– Chicago Tops ‘Rattiest Cities’ List For Decade As Other Democrat-Run Metros Plagued With Disgusting Rats:
Pest control company Orkin published its annual Rattiest City In America list, with Chicago securing the top spot for the tenth consecutive year. As we scroll through the list, a trend emerges, many of these metro areas are governed by far-left Democratic leaders who campaign on “joy” and “love” and “utopia” – yet the inconvenient truth is their policies transform cities into rat-infested and crime-infested hellholes.
Orkin’s press release surrounding the list focused on Chicago…
For the tenth straight year, Chicago has secured the top spot on Orkin’s Top 50 Rattiest Cities List, maintaining its reign since the list’s inception. This decade-long dominance highlights the city’s ongoing battle with rodents, as well as the efforts taken to treat their presence, which has been driven largely by the Windy City’s infrastructure and environment
Chicago’s abundance of alleys provides rodents with hidden havens, offering plenty of space to hide while feasting on trash. Rodents also love to burrow, finding shelter beneath subway tracks or around underground pipes. In these hidden spots, the rodent population can grow if left unchecked.
Following Chicago, Los Angeles ranked number 2, New York number 3, San Francisco number 4, Washington, DC 5, Denver 6, Philadelphia 7, Detroit, 8, Baltimore 9, and Cleveland 10. These cities are run by radical progressive activists – and that’s the problem. City Halls are full of activists – not managers – which is why many of these towns are falling apart or plagued by crime and rats.

Ron Paul: Government Gaslights People About The Economy
– Government Gaslights People About The Economy:
Public opinion polls consistently show the economy is one of the top issues, if not the top issue, for American voters.
This may strike some as odd, since official government statistics show low unemployment and declining price inflation, suggesting the Federal Reserve has engineered a “soft landing” bringing down inflation without causing a recession.
So why the concern over the economy? One reason is more people are realizing government economic figures hide the truth about the economy.

Pentagon Warns No Limits On Ukraine Support If North Korea Joins War
– Pentagon Warns No Limits On Ukraine Support If North Korea Joins War:
The United States is warning that it is ready to escalate NATO involvement in Ukraine if North Korean troops join Russia’s war in Ukraine. The Zelensky government has long been lobbying for the US to provide long-range missiles and authorize their use against Russian territory. Kiev might soon gets its wish granted…
“The U.S. will not impose new limits on Ukraine’s use of American weapons if North Korea joins Russia’s war, the Pentagon said on Monday, as NATO said North Korean military units had been deployed to the Kursk region in Russia,” Reuters reports.
Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh on Monday issued a fresh update on the situation. Speaking of a detachment of North Korean troops, she said: “A portion of those soldiers have already moved closer to Ukraine, and we are increasingly concerned that Russia intends to use these soldiers in combat or to support combat operations against Ukrainian forces in Russia’s Kursk Oblast near the border with Ukraine.”

Russian Special Forces Academy In Chechnya Hit By Drone Attack
– Russian Special Forces Academy In Chechnya Hit By Drone Attack:
A drone slammed into a building and campus in Chechnya known as the Russian Special Forces University in the early morning hours of Tuesday, regional governor Ramzan Kadyrov has confirmed.
“At 6:30 this morning, the roof of an empty building on the territory of the Russian Special Forces University caught fire in Gudermes as a result of an unmanned aerial attack,” Kadyrov said. The town which hosts the military school lies just over 20 miles east of the capital Grozny.
“No one was killed or injured. The fire has been extinguished,” Kadyrov detailed in the statement posted to Telegram. He claimed the attack didn’t lead to significant disruptions at the training academy. However, that seems doubtful given the photographs showing the extent of fires and damage to the roof in the aftermath. Images suggest more than one UAV may have hit.
The institution is known for being the only private campus for training Russian military special operators. But tens of thousands have been sent through its elite training program.

Starbucks Warns Corporate Staff: Show Up In Office Or Get Fired
– Starbucks Warns Corporate Staff: Show Up In Office Or Get Fired:
The golden era of remote work seems to be ending. Starbucks is the latest mega-corporation to enforce a return-to-office mandate for white-collar workers.
An internal message from the coffee chain obtained by Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal states a new “standardized process” will be implemented at the start of the new year to hold employees accountable if they don’t comply with work requirements, such as coming into the office at least three days a week. The memo stated that non-compliance could result in termination.
Starbucks reminded hybrid white-collar workers that working arrangements had not changed and that rules must be followed. The memo emphasized: “We are continuing to support our leaders as they hold their teams accountable.”
Bloomberg quoted new Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol last month as saying, “This is not a game of tracking. This is a game of winning,” adding, “I care about seeing everybody here succeed, and if success requires us being together more often than not, let’s be together more often.”

Pennsylvania News Station Apologizes For Showing Presidential Election ‘Results’
– Pennsylvania News Station Apologizes For Showing Presidential Election ‘Results’:
A news station in Pennsylvania was forced to apologize for flashing up the US presidential election results in the state as part of a “test” that wasn’t supposed to be seen by viewers.
WNEP, an ABC affiliate, flashed up the results for Pennsylvania during its broadcast of the Formula 1 race in Mexico City and they were on screen for several minutes.
You’ll never guess who “won”.
Kamala Harris, of course, beating Trump by 52 per cent to 47 per cent of the vote.
