Gavin Newsom has survived an attempt to boot him out of office. This means the Democrat can carry on leading the world’s fifth biggest economy and continue his liberal policies, which affect the lives of 40 million Californians. It’s perhaps no surprise he won given that Democrats apparently outnumber Republicans in California two to one! But the anger towards him was and still is very strong, especially among the two million Californians who signed a petition to get rid of him.

California Governor Gavin Newsom beats recall vote

There’s a lot of anger in the United States at President Joe Biden right now and just seven months into his presidency, his approval ratings are at an all-time low. Not only has he presided over a chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, his critics say he’s failed at the one thing that he used to excel at 'being good with people'. Some of the families of the 13 U.S. marines and soldiers killed last month in Kabul are complaining that he disrespected them when they met.

Elizabeth Holmes wanted to be the next Steve Jobs and for a while she managed to con everyone. Her company Theranos claimed to have invented an amazing blood testing machine that was going to revolutionise the world of medicine, and she quickly became the youngest self-made female billionaire in the world. But due to whistleblowers and an investigative journalist, the whole facade came crashing down. Now she is on trial for wire fraud and faces 20 years in prison.

Elizabeth Holmes ‘trial of the decade’ begins - “Theranos was a cult!!”

Has the Taliban swapped their annual Spring Offensive for a PR offensive? They’re giving interviews and press conferences just like a real government. Their main message seems to be that now they’re in charge of Afghanistan they won’t go looking for revenge and will give amnesty to their erstwhile enemies including Afghan security forces. They’ve also promised that women will have full rights within the limits of Islamic law AND they’ve pledged not to allow any terrorist groups to stage attacks from their soil. So, can they be trusted? Well first you need to know who you’re dealing with

Taliban 2.0 - Have Afghanistan’s new rulers changed? … or not?

Many pundits and experts are comparing what’s happening in Afghanistan to the fall of Saigon. The chaotic scenes back in 1975 as the US withdrew from the Vietnam. Captain Gerald 'Gerry' Berry was there that day and was the helicopter pilot who flew the U.S. Ambassador to safety. He is often referred to 'the man who ended the Vietnam war'. We spoke to him about that day 46 years ago and whether it's fair to compare it with what's happening in Afghanistan.

Vietnam Pilot Captain Gerald ‘Gerry’ Berry Says Kabul Worse Than Saigon

Joe Biden sold himself to the American people as a foreign policy heavyweight during the election last year and claimed President Trump was ruining America’s reputation abroad. The liberal media, academics and pundits backed him to the hilt and suggested things could only get better under Biden. How wrong they were. The Taliban is now in control of Afghanistan and Americans are fleeing the capital Kabul. People are comparing these chaotic scenes to the fall of Saigon in 1975 when U.S. forces fled Vietnam. So what does the Biden administration and his mainstream media allies do now? Well they’re blaming everyone but themselves.

According to some experts 100 percent of the chocolate we eat can be traced back to cocoa farms that use child labour. They estimate that there are something like 1.6m child labourers working in the cocoa farms of west Africa and as many as HALF Of them are slaves. Not modern day slavery, not some kind of soft slavery, but actual slavery. The cocoa is sold to massive conglomerates which supply household names like Nestle and Cadburys, so you can bet that if you’ve eaten chocolate recently, it’s probably tainted.

Murdered. Dutch Journalist Peter R. De Vries Dies After Being Shot

Between 1876 and 1996 an estimated 150,000 indigenous children were forcibly separated from their families. They were placed in government funded ‘residential schools’ which were mostly run by the Catholic Church. Children were barred from using their native language and forced to convert to Christianity. At least 4,100 children died of disease, malnutrition and other unknown causes but the real number of deaths is likely much higher. CLICK HERE FOR MORE: https://youtu.be/KixTog29o_c

'An incredibly harmful policy' Canada's residential school system in the spotlight

Over the past couple of months dozens of Churches have been vandalised, attacked and even burned to the ground. The assault on churches started after hundreds of unmarked graves were discovered in the grounds of three Church-run ‘Residential Schools’. The schools were government funded and run by the clergy and were tasked with assimilating indigenous children into Canadian society. Conditions were very hard and children died from various diseases and other causes at a far higher rate than in the general population. The discovery of their graves, a quarter of a century after the last school closed its doors, has shocked the nation.

PART 2 of 2: John McAfee, the founder of the ubiquitous anti-virus software of the same name, was found dead in a Spanish prison cell late last month; supposedly a suicide. But his wife and others don’t believe that. They say the mercurial millionaire would never kill himself. And they might be right to be suspicious. McAfee was a fighter and although he made his money from software he was a hard man. For the past few years he’s been on the run, chased by U.S. authorities over alleged tax fraud and manipulating the value of Cryptocurrencies. The law finally caught up with McAfee in Spain in October last year. And he made it known he was worried about being killed in his jail cell by tweeting this out a few days after his arrest ‘Know that if I hang myself, a la Epstein, it will be no fault of mine’ CLICK HERE FOR PART 1: https://youtu.be/5AFuyJzXhM8

A top-secret 50-page document belonging to Britain’s Ministry of Defence, found behind a bus stop by a member of the public, reveals that Britain knew all along that sailing a Royal Navy warship off the coast of Crimea would provoke Russia, but did it anyway to avoid looking scared of president Vladimir Putin. You’ll remember Russia described the incident as a dangerous provocation while the Brits said it was all a storm in a teacup! Question is, who’s telling the truth?

It’s now been one month since a Ryanair plane with 132 people on board was essentially hijacked over Belarus and forced to land at Minsk airport. The hijacking was ordered by Belarus’s leader - Alexander Lukashenko - who is sometimes referred to as Europe’s last dictator. Lukashenko’s agents forcibly removed and arrested journalist Roman Protosevich and his girlfriend, Sofia Sapega, before letting the plane continue its journey. It’s an astounding story which one European leader called an ‘unprecedented act of state terrorism’ that can not go unpunished.
