Why The Washington Post decided to opt out of a presidential endorsement

For the first time in 36 years, The Washington Post will not endorse a presidential candidate. Publisher and CEO William Lewis explained, "We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates.” It comes after The Los Angeles Times publisher blocked a planned endorsement of Vice President Harris. Amna Nawaz discussed more with Sewell Chan of Columbia Journalism Review.

South African refugees to resettle in Des Moines

Image
The group of roughly 36 Afrikaner refugees arrived in Des Moines under a recently approved U.S. immigration directive that allows for expedited processing of refugee claims from individuals who assert they are facing racial or political persecution.  In this case, the individuals cite rising violence against white farmers, economic marginalization under South Africa’s Black Economic Empowerment policies, and a deteriorating security situation as primary reasons for seeking asylum.  The Trump administration’s program, while not widely publicized prior to implementation, was designed to expand refugee protections to groups that have historically been excluded from the broader humanitarian focus—particularly white minorities in regions where racial dynamics have shifted post-colonial rule. The administration cited reports of land expropriation without compensation, farm attacks, and targeted political rhetoric in South Africa as evidence that these individuals meet the criteria ...

Trump's Speech in Saudi Arabia is GAME CHANGER,  Netanyahu FURIOUS he's being boxed out | Redacted President Donald Trump's recent speech in Riyadh on May 13, 2025, during the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum, marked a significant pivot in American foreign policy with sweeping implications for the Middle East. The address came at a critical time, as regional conflicts, shifting alliances, and energy market uncertainties have reshaped the geopolitical landscape. Trump used the platform to signal a return to assertive diplomacy driven by economic leverage, national interest, and direct engagement with regional power players. Central to the speech was the announcement of a massive economic framework between the United States and Saudi Arabia. Trump unveiled bilateral agreements worth hundreds of billions of dollars, with Saudi Arabia committing up to $600 billion in direct U.S. investments and expressing interest in scaling that figure toward $1 trillion. These investments span cr...

Bioengineered Ticks Make You Allergic to RED MEAT To Fight Climate Change

Image
Dr. S. Matthew Liao, a professor of philosophy and bioethics at New York University, has proposed the concept of "human engineering" as a potential strategy to address climate change. In his 2012 paper titled "Human Engineering and Climate Change," co-authored with Anders Sandberg and Rebecca Roache, Liao explores biomedical modifications to humans aimed at reducing our environmental impact.   One proposal involves inducing an aversion to red meat consumption. Given that livestock farming contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, Liao suggests that pharmacologically inducing mild intolerance to meat could decrease its consumption. This could be achieved through methods such as "meat patches," analogous to nicotine patches, which would stimulate the immune system to reject certain animal proteins, leading to a reduced desire for meat.   Another idea is to reduce average human body size, as smaller individuals generally require fewer resource...
