Pope Francis Dies at 88: A Legacy of Compassion and Reform

by

On a quiet Monday morning, April 21, 2025, the world paused to mourn the passing of Pope Francis, the beloved leader of 1.4 billion Catholics. At 88, the first Latin American and Jesuit Pope left us, his gentle smile and warm spirit etched in our hearts. His death, announced by Cardinal Kevin Farrell, came just a day after he blessed thousands from St. Peter’s Square, a final act of devotion despite his frail health. Let’s take a moment to reflect on his extraordinary life, the mark he left on the Catholic Church, and what lies ahead for the Vatican.

The Crumbling Pillars of the US Dollar: A Global Reset in Motion

by
A symbolic digital illustration showing the collapse of the US dollar as a crumbling pillar holding up a global financial structure. The dollar sign ($) is cracked and breaking apart, with fragments falling into a dark void labeled "Debt", "War", and "Illusion". Around it, alternative currencies like gold coins, Indian rupees (₹), Chinese yuan (¥), and cryptocurrency symbols (₿, Ξ) are rising. In the background, Western corporate skyscrapers are tilting or collapsing, while emerging economies—represented by rising sun, green fields, and traditional architecture—are beginning to glow. A faded Statue of Liberty watches from afar, symbolizing lost influence. The sky is stormy over the West and brightening in the East. Include subtle imagery of chess pieces to symbolize shifting geopolitical power

In a series of bold and unsettling predictions, geopolitical and geo-economic expert Dr. Ankit Shah has warned that the US dollar may be heading toward an unprecedented collapse. According to him, this is not merely speculation—it’s a shift rooted in deep structural imbalances within the global economic system, driven by years of unsustainable practices and manufactured dominance.

In a surprise move, China has replaced its long-standing trade negotiator, Wang Shouwen, with Li Chenggang, a former assistant commerce minister and current envoy to the World Trade Organization (WTO).

Trump’s Trade Chaos: A Reckless Gamble with No Master Plan

by
President Donald Trump waves as he boards Air Force One on April 11, 2025, at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland.

At the heart of Trump’s trade policy lies a gut-driven hunch: if a nation sells more to the U.S. than it buys, it’s “ripping us off.” He’s convinced that trade deficits balloon the federal budget deficit and that tariffs force foreign governments to funnel cash into the U.S. Treasury. Every one of these notions crumbles under scrutiny.

Zhejiang’s Tariff Titans: Christmas Trees vs. Trump’s 145% Rage

by
Factories in China have seen export orders for the United States cancelled or suspended due to Donald Trump's trade war with Beijing

No US orders are rolling off Guo’s production line—suspended or unconfirmed, poof, gone! Guangdong’s hit harder, with some factories tied to one big US client, but Zhejiang’s got a trick up its sleeve: a broader client base in Guatemala, Chile, and beyond. Guo’s strutting past boxes stamped for Latin America, bragging, “We ditched the US market years ago—new markets are where it’s at!” This ain’t your grandma’s trade war!

Minutes later, China’s Customs crew hits back with a 125% … Read more

Trump’s Tax Cut Apocalypse: $4 Trillion Ouchie!

by
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., talks to reporters just after House Republicans approved their budget framework that is central to President Donald Trump's agenda, at the Capitol in Washington

The Council of Economic Advisers dropped a March 2025 report claiming extending these cuts would juice GDP by 3.8%, bump real wages by $3,300, and fatten median household paychecks by $5,000. Sounds like a superhero win, right? Wrong! The Center for American Progress—those liberal buzzkills—says it’s a trap. By 2055, they predict a $4,375 per capita drop in real GNP, thanks to debt and interest costs ballooning the national debt to 220% of GDP. Bobby Kogan, their budget guru, says any tax cut gains will evaporate faster than my last date with Lady Death.

Why the current GDP formula wrong?

by

The West-imposed GDP formula is flawed because it prioritizes financial metrics over real economic well-being. Here’s why the GDP formula used by Western institutions is misleading and often manipulated to maintain control over the global economy: 1. GDP Doesn’t Reflect Real Wealth Creation 2. Debt-Driven Growth is Counted as “Economic Success” 3. Military & War … Read more
