Historical revisionism is nothing new, and recent attempts to label an “antiracist” approach to history have wrongly been called “revisionist.” To better understand revisionism, one must first be grounded in reality, then apply reality-based thought to studying the past.

Citrus Crisis: Florida’s Orange Juice Production Slides To Lowest Level Since 1930
December 12, 2024
The US Department of Agriculture has released an alarming new forecast for Florida’s citrus industry. The latest projection indicates orange production for the current season will total around 12 million boxes—the lowest since 1930—according to Bloomberg, citing the new USDA report. Source: Bloomberg A devastating hurricane this fall has compounded the damage already inflicted by citrus greening disease, a bacterial infection that has decimated groves over the past decade. Orange juice futures have surged to $5 per pound, a staggering 433% increase from the Covid-era lows of around $1 per pound. Worsening supply constraints could squeeze prices even higher. Florida’s orange production and citrus exports face an uncertain future as the industry struggles to recover from the dual blows of severe weather and disease. More from Bloomberg: The cut reflects an even dimmer situation for Florida’s citrus industry, which had been expected to produce fewer oranges even before Hurricane Milton tore through groves in mid-October. Growers have been combating a deadly citrus disease called greening that has decimated orange production, while also trying to recover from hurricanes Ian and Irma… Read the full article here […]
Gabbard on Capitol Hill as GOP Senate Support Remains Uncertain
December 12, 2024
The former congresswoman has faced questions about a 2017 visit to Syria, where she met with then-Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Tulsi Gabbard is on Capitol Hill this week seeking to gain the backing of the Senate GOP conference for her nomination by President-elect Donald Trump to serve as director of national intelligence—as support for her remains uncertain. The veteran and former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii has faced questions from some Senate Republicans over her 2017 visit to Syria, where she met with then-Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. In the wake of Assad’s apparent abdication following the fall of Damascus, the Syrian capital, senators’ questions about her visit, which Gabbard has repeatedly called a “fact-finding mission,” have intensified. Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said he had “lots of questions” and said she’d face thorough questioning during her confirmation hearings. “We want to know what the purpose was and what the direction for that was. As a member of Congress, we want to get a chance to talk about past comments that she’s made and get them into full context,” Lankford said. As… […]

ING explains why rally in gold prices ‘isn’t over just yet’ By Investing.com
December 12, 2024
Investing.com — The rally in gold prices “isn’t over just yet,” according to ING. The precious metal has enjoyed a record-breaking rally in 2024, surging 25% year-to-date driven by a combination of Federal Reserve rate cuts, increased central bank purchases, and robust safe-haven demand amid geopolitical and economic uncertainties. Analysts at ING expect these factors to sustain upward momentum in 2025, pushing gold prices to new highs. The Federal Reserve’s easing cycle has been pivotal in supporting gold’s rally. In September, the Fed implemented its first rate cut since 2020, reducing rates by 50 basis points, followed by an additional 25 basis points in November. These actions brought the federal funds target range to 4.5%-4.75%. “Lower borrowing costs are positive for gold as the metal doesn’t pay interest,” ING explains. The Fed had held rates in the 5.25%-5.5% range—the highest in over two decades. Looking ahead, ING believes the market’s focus will be on the pace of further monetary easing under President Donald Trump’s administration. Inflationary pressures stemming from Trump’s proposed policies, including tariffs and stricter immigration… Read the full article here […]
1 in 6 plan to skip their weight loss drugs over the holidays
December 12, 2024
Merry Christmousse! One in six Americans who take weight-loss and diabetes meds like Ozempic and Wegovy are icing out their injections so they can indulge in Christmas cookies and sides like mac and cheese and mashed potatoes, a new survey by Levity finds. The problem is that temporarily pausing drug use can lead to weight gain, mood changes and digestive issues, among other potential short- and long-term side effects. A recent KFF Health Tracking Poll found 12% of adults have taken an Ozempic-like drug at some point and 6% were taking one as of May. alones – stock.adobe.com An overwhelming 79% of people who said they plan to skip jabs over the holidays admitted that it’s so they can enjoy more holiday foods. Half said they wanted to avoid the side effects of eating rich foods on GLP-1 drugs — which can include fullness, nausea, and other gastrointestinal discomfort — while 28% said they wanted to take a break from their daily routines. Less than a quarter said it was due to medication costs or concerns about interactions with alcohol. While skipping a dose or two may allow for more room to indulge, it can also lead to some… Read the full article here […]
Moment TV crew discovers Syrian prisoner who didn’t realise Assad had been toppled as he says ‘oh God, there’s light’
December 12, 2024
THIS is the incredible moment a TV crew finds a Syrian prisoner who didn’t know tyrant Assad had been overthrown. Thousands of freed prisoners returned to their families over the weekend after Assad’s brutal regime crumbled – but many are still said to be hidden inside secret underground cells.

Reporter at CNN Clarissa Ward was touring one of Assad’s infamous prisons on the hunt for an American journalist. In the footage, her team suddenly stumbles upon a cell that’s still locked up. The lock gets shot open before Ward and a Syrian rebel enter the cell – with Ward pointing out a blanket that had moved. She asks if anyone was there, to which a terrified man sits up with his arms raised. He’s heard pleading with the team: “I’m a civilian. I’m a civilian.” Once he realises he’s not in any danger, the prisoner tells… Read the full article here […]

Oil supply to rise in 2025 despite OPEC cuts: IEA
December 12, 2024
Oil supply is set to outpace global demand next year even as OPEC+ members extended cuts in efforts to prop up prices, the International Energy Agency said Thursday. Eight members of the alliance, including Saudi Arabia and Russia, agreed earlier this month to maintain supply cuts of 2.2 million barrels per day (bpd) for three more months through March. But the IEA said global supply was on track to grow by 630,000 bpd this year and 1.9 million bpd in 2025, with the United States, Brazil, Canada, Guyana and Argentina leading the way. This would bring total supply to 104.8 million bpd for 2025, while demand is forecast to rise to 103.9 million bpd, the IEA said in its monthly oil market report. The IEA said demand from China, the world’s biggest importer of oil, has “slowed markedly” as its economic growth has sputtered, while emerging Asian countries would lead gains in 2024 and 2025. “Persistent overproduction from some OPEC+ members, robust supply growth from non-OPEC+ countries and relatively modest global oil demand growth leave the market looking comfortably supplied in 2025,” the report said. Crude oil prices were “largely unchanged” in… […]
