President-elect Donald Trump and NATO chief Mark Rutte ‘discussed the range of global security issues facing the Alliance,’ NATO said.

President-elect Donald Trump met with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte in Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday, Nov. 22.

The transatlantic alliance confirmed the meeting in a brief statement on its website on Nov. 23.

Trump and Rutte “discussed the range of global security issues facing the Alliance,” the press statement reads.

Rutte also met with Trump’s prospective national security team members, including Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.), whom Trump has chosen to serve as his White House national security adviser.

A former prime minister of the Netherlands, Rutte assumed the role of NATO secretary-general in October.

The Friday meeting appears to be the first between Rutte and Trump since the president-elect won the U.S. presidential race.

Following Trump’s election win, the NATO chief said he looked forward to working with Trump and echoed the president-elect’s calls for the various NATO members to step up their defense spending.

During his first term in the Oval Office, Trump criticized the NATO alliance and pressured member states…

Elon Musk Just Gave The Strongest Hint Yet That He Might Actually Buy MSNBC | The Gateway Pundit
November 24, 2024
Credit: Elon Musk X/MSNBC Elon Musk has just given the strongest hint yet that he may actually purchase MSNBC. The troubled left-wing network has seen its ratings nosedive in the wake of Donald Trump’s stunning victory in the 2024 presidential election as furious viewers lash out at the false hope the network gave them or just check out of politics altogether. Another major controversy has been that involving Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, who informed their audience this week that had met with Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida and would seek to take a “new approach” to covering his second term in office. The situation is so severe that its parent company, Comcast, is reportedly ready to cut their losses and sell the network to the highest bidder. Such reports have led to suggestions that Musk, who is the wealthiest man in the world and whose fortune has skyrocketed since Trump’s victory on account of rising Tesla shares, buy the network and turn it into a proper journalistic outlet. Amid growing speculation that this could become a reality, the satirical conservative news site The Babylon Bee ran an article entitled… Read the full article here […]

Joe Biden’s Open Door Migration Turbocharges Prostitution
November 24, 2024
Some of President Joe Biden’s poor migrants are turning to prostitution as they try to pay their smuggling debts and daily bills in the high-cost U.S. economy. “Though she fears getting arrested, Camilla said she turned to sex work [prostitution] through a friend in a desperate bid to earn money while waiting for her work-authorization documents,” Indypendent.org, reported on November 21. The site continued: Camilla arrived in New York City from Venezuela around a year ago, and lives in a Bronx migrant shelter with her husband and six-year-old son. “I just run away to wherever and hide on another street,” Camilla told The Indypendent. “I wait for the police to leave, then come out again.” The woman spoke on Roosevelt Avenue, where the New York police have recently tried to shut down an open-air sex market, amid the various shops and restaurants along the avenue. Her descent into poverty and prostitution may be a shock to Biden’s pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas. He has justified his pro-migration policies by saying Americans must respect the dignity of poor migrants. “We are building an immigration system that is designed to ensure due… Read the full article here […]
While Trump Seeks Cost Cutting, the Fate of Social Security Hangs in Balance – HotAir
November 24, 2024
While President-elect Trump is promising to slash unnecessary government spending in his next term, questions are emerging about how the 47th president might approach Social Security — the biggest chunk of the U.S. budget that is barreling toward bankruptcy. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that without significant intervention, the Social Security trust funds are due to run dry in 2033, at which point the law calls for a 23 percent cut in benefits. Trump’s proposals to lower corporate tax rates, end taxes on tips, Social Security benefits, and overtime pay, and deduct car loan interest and state and local taxes could add $2.3 trillion to Social Security’s cash deficit, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a non-partisan organizaton. The committee says these proposals could increase the $35 trillion national debt by $7.75 trillion through 2035. With the formation of the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, led by Tesla chief executive Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, Trump has signaled his intention to tackle America’s spending problem. While DOGE will work to “slash excess regulations, cut wasteful… Read the full article here […]
F-35’s Cooling Crisis: Design Flaws Fuel $2 Trillion Dilemma For Pentagon
November 24, 2024
Authored by Mike Fredenburg via The Epoch Times, The Pentagon is facing a difficult decision regarding the F-35’s chronic, crippling problems with overheating brought on by its insufficient cooling capacity. Should the U.S. taxpayers pay for a costly upgrade to the stealth fighter’s cooling that will handle its immediate needs, or should U.S. taxpayers pay for a far more expensive upgrade that theoretically could handle increased future cooling needs? Before we briefly address the two options facing the Pentagon, let’s look at why cooling capacity is so important for the F-35 and why the most expensive weapons system program in world history produced a plane that was destined to have inadequate cooling from the very beginning. Having adequate cooling is vital because a fighter’s avionics, radar, and other electronics-based systems generate heat. While air cooling is always part of the cooling solution, modern fighters cram so much heat-producing electronics into a relatively small space that air cooling alone is insufficient. Various types of liquid cooling are necessary, especially for power-hungry radars. This is particularly true of the F-35, which is advertised as a Read the full article here […]

ME conflict remains at risk of escalation, oil and gold can help hedge risk By Investing.com
November 24, 2024
Investing.com — The ongoing Middle East conflict, marked by escalating tensions and persistent hostilities, remains a critical risk factor for global stability. Analysts at UBS emphasize that while the situation has not yet spiraled into a full-scale regional war involving Israel, Iran, and their respective allies, the risk of such an escalation is significant. This heightened uncertainty, compounded by the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president, underscores the necessity for prudent investment strategies to manage geopolitical risks. The conflict’s volatility stems from a series of interconnected events, including Israel’s military actions in Gaza and southern Lebanon, as well as skirmishes with Hezbollah and Iranian proxies. Iran’s retaliatory missile and drone attacks further underscore the potential for a broader confrontation. While diplomatic efforts have thus far failed to secure lasting ceasefires or meaningful de-escalation, the period leading up to Trump’s inauguration could see critical developments. Trump’s prior hardline policies toward Iran and support for Israel add another layer of unpredictability to the region’s dynamics. Against this… Read the full article here […]
Daniel Jones likely to opt for playoff contender
November 24, 2024
The next step in Daniel Jones’ career is beginning to come into focus. The 27-year-old veteran quarterback — who was released by the Giants on Friday and officially waived on Saturday — is expected to clear waivers Monday and have a new home on a one-year deal, sooner rather than later, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. No team is expected to claim the balance of Jones’ contract — $11,833,333 for this season, as well as the $23 million in injury guarantees for after this season. Daniel Jones, who no longer is the Giants’ quarterback, talks with reporters earlier in the week. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post If that turns out to be the case, as expected, it officially would allow Jones to sign with another team after 4 p.m. Eastern on Monday. Sources told ESPN that Jones would prefer a playoff contender, rather than a quarterback-needy team out of contention. Some contenders are likely to inquire about Jones, and it’s likely he will have a new team relatively quickly, according to the report. Jones, who was the No. 6 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, started 70 games over his rocky five-and-half seasons with the Giants…. Read the full article here […]
An iconic 32-foot donut might give Randy’s an edge in Japan
November 24, 2024
In breaking into Japan’s rough-and-tumble, dog-eat-dog donut market, where brands big and small fight to foist their fare upon confectionary-savvy consumers, a giant donut doesn’t hurt. “Everyone loves pictures of themselves with the big donut,” said Mark Kelegian, president and CEO of Randy’s Donuts, a U.S. company that recently signed a Japanese franchise deal for up to 50 outlets in the country. The donut in question is a 32-foot diameter sculpture that sits atop the Randy’s Donuts location in Inglewood, which is in Los Angeles County. Read the full article here […]
