A recent consumer survey revealed that 46% of US electric car owners wish to switch back to a gas-powered car.

George Soros has an international playbook, and he is playing it to the hilt in the United States today.

A group of Nobel prize-winning economists is sounding alarm bells that former President Donald Trump’s economic policies will reignite inflation should he secure a second term in the White House.

Another chunk of Bill Gates’ cash has again driven the spooky aspects of worldwide digital ID into the news cycle. The globalist multi-billionaire has an affinity for this particular cause every bit as radical as his well-known devotion to mass vaccination, reinventing food, and fighting so-called climate change. “[T]he UK-based AI and data science research […]

President Joe Biden has been reaching out to corporate America for advice on bolstering the economy, the same group he has accused of price gouging consumers and ripping off the country.
