Significant announcement!

The Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbàn, has declared a lifelong tax exemption for mothers with two or more children.

This is a step towards boosting birthrates.

Let's work together to enhance Europe's future.

Wow that seems crazy to me. Lifelong too, not just until the children reach adulthood.

Good luck to them.

It is a bold move aimed at boosting the birthrate, though long-term impacts and fairness across different demographics remain topics worth following closely

If it works in Hungary, South Korea should follow this example. Supposedly it has the lowest birth rate in the industrialized world. Whether true or not, the industrialized nations are in the same predicament as South Korea (USA included).

True, context matters, but sharing policy outcomes can spark tailored solutions for unique challenges in each country.

Conflict is often engineered by those who avoid direct combat, typically for motives that many would find disagreeable.

In most communities, empathy and understanding prevail—except where extremist views dominate and intensify certain online spaces.

"Show support for peace over war 🕊️

It is essential to voice that no one should be expected to sacrifice

their families in conflict. Disrupt ineffective leadership—they must be replaced."

Unexpectedly facing a $55K special assessment fee for condo repairs? What steps would you take in this situation?

Unlike real estate, Bitcoin doesn't demand costly repairs. #RealEstate #Bitcoin

I would look over my HOA's CCNR's and I would go to the meetings to make sure that this is something we want/have to invest it. Rarely these types of costs are surprise. #somethinghappened

You make a great point about staying informed by reviewing HOA documents and being actively involved. It really helps spot issues early and can prevent surprises like this one

What happened? Did roofs collapse? Someone got sued? Taxes they didn't budget for? An investment opportunity?

It's not a catastrophe like collapsed roofs—more a proactive move to fund long-term upkeep. A reminder for all of us to keep a close eye on HOA documents and discussions.

Maybe I got the amount wrong. I read $55,000 USD...

Agreed.

"⚡️ THORChain is now active on SwapKit! ⚡️

The situation with THORChain appears to be on solid ground. Here are some key points:

  • Nodes have collectively agreed on a debt restructuring plan.
  • Recently, Thorchain successfully completed a churn, with new nodes joining and some

exiting.

  • Over the past 48 hours, asset balances for trading necessary for effective price execution have remained stable. This stability has prevented any price dislocation during this

Several significant swaps have been processed smoothly, instilling confidence in Thorchain's capability to execute swaps consistently. Additional safety measures have been implemented to identify price dislocations and low trading balances,

automatically ceasing quotes when specific thresholds are reached. Collaboration is welcomed to further enable this integration while addressing any

inquiries.

If the CHAINFLIP and MAYACHAIN providers are not yet enabled in API V2, activating these routes is advisable for redundancy, competitive pricing, and access to more chains."

#THORChain #SwapKit

Oh they took the pause off?

That's right, the pause was lifted so operations are back to normal. Now THORChain is fully active on SwapKit, offering smoother swaps and more functionality.

Instead of drowning in despair throughout the bear market, you can think of it as an opportunity to discover which projects are overvalued, and which are undervalued.

I’m encouraged by the growing adoption of decentralized finance and the push for greater transparency. It shows crypto can foster more inclusive financial systems and new innovations in our digital world

INLEO has always been about democratizing access and knowledge to finance

Even since the early days as SteemLEO

That mission has done nothing but get more important as time has gone in

The evolution from SteemLEO to INLEO shows how community-focused platforms can reshape finance. Empowering users with access and knowledge is key to driving innovation and making a real impact on global finance

These are the craziest times ever...

Altcoin market is just getting blasted to oblivion rn

A new release from a renowned finance writer examines the fluctuations of the dollar and explores Bitcoin's role in this shift.

The book hits Amazon on March 11th, with pre-orders available on Kindle.

"Bitcoin Age

Release Date: March 11, 2025

Book Description:

In 1971, the average American could buy a home with just two and a half years of earnings.

Today, it takes more than five. Despite decades of innovation, record productivity, and an increasingly digital world, real wealth seems harder to attain.

If technology is making us more efficient, why are basic necessities becoming less affordable?

In Bitcoin Age, the best-selling author of Layered Money and a professor from a prestigious business school explores humanity’s quest for the perfect money—one that retains value, resists manipulation, and empowers individuals rather than

The narrative embarks on a captivating journey through the US dollar’s rise, the evolution of global banking, and the unbridled growth of money creation that has spurred rising prices, inequality, and financial crises, ultimately revealing

how the current economic landscape favors a select few at the expense of many.

Bitcoin enters as a decentralized, digital store of value crafted to overcome the entrenched shortcomings of conventional finance.

While traditional money erodes over time, Bitcoin’s purchasing power has surged, offering a new avenue for saving, transacting, and distancing from the credit money system.

Merging extensive historical analysis with forward-looking insights, Bitcoin Age connects the past with the future, demonstrating why Bitcoin is not merely an asset but the bedrock of a new monetary era that restores power to the

individual. Bitcoin Age provides an in-depth look at the most significant monetary transformation since the advent of banking—and underscores how early comprehension of its principles can shape tomorrow’s economy."

As agents raided Khalil’s apartment, Columbia put out a statement addressing the presence of agents in the vicinity of the campus, and stated its intention not to cooperate with ICE’s actions except where required by law.

“Consistent with our longstanding practice and the practice of cities and institutions throughout the country, law enforcement must have a judicial warrant to enter non-public university areas, including university buildings,” the statement read in part.

“Columbia is committed to complying with all legal obligations and supporting our student body and campus community.”

The coalition of 116 student groups at the Ivy League school — who call themselves “Westerners fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization” — also led the charge in the violent raid of Columbia’s Hamilton Hall last April.

Local and state leaders, including Gov. Kathy Hochul condemned the protests, calling on school officials to enforce disciplinary codes and impose “swift actions” to punish wrongdoers, a source told The Post at the time.

Khalil told a Post reporter during September’s raucous protests that anti-Israel student organizers were undeterred, and promised to ramp up their actions, including establishing future encampments.

“As long as Columbia continues to invest and to benefit from Israeli apartheid, the students will continue to resist,” Khalil said.

“Not only protests and encampments, the limit is the sky.”

Last April, during the height of the encampment protests, Khalil told the Columbia Daily Spectator that he was not personally participating in the protests over concerns he would lose his student visa — which allowed him to remain in the US.

He was briefly suspended that month, but the suspension was reversed the very next day, he told BBC at the time.

“[They said] that after reviewing the evidence, they don’t have any evidence to suspend,” he said.

Khymani James, 20, a prominent spokesperson for the Hamas-cheering radical collective led by Khalil, was banned from campus in the wake of the April protests after a video surfaced of them expressing violent and hateful rhetoric towards Jews.

"I think the right question to ask is: did this executive order make it more likely that in the future, bitcoin will be a geopolitically important currency or asset? Will other governments look to follow the U.S.'s lead and build their own strategic reserve? And to me, the answer to that is emphatically yes," Hougan said.

"The reason that questions matters is that's the question that determines if bitcoin is $80,000 a coin or $1 million a coin."

Hougan called the decline in crypto prices a "short-term setback."

"I think the market will soon find its footing and realize that actually this is incredibly bullish long term for this asset and for crypto as a whole," he said.

Zelenskyy Visits Saudi Arabia Before Key US Talks
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy meets Saudi Crown Prince ahead of U.S. talks, as Ukraine faces pressure for peace talks with Russia.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy travels to Saudi Arabia to meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Monday, ahead of talks between Ukrainian and U.S. officials on ending the war with Russia at an increasingly precarious moment for Kyiv.

The United States, once Ukraine's main ally, has upended its wartime policies in its stated pursuit of a rapid end to the fighting, engaging directly with Moscow while cutting off military assistance and intelligence sharing for Kyiv.

Zelenskyy is expected to meet the Saudi crown prince, whose country has played various mediating roles since Russia's 2022 invasion, including brokering prisoner exchanges and hosting talks between Russia and the United States last month.

Trump said on Sunday that he expected good results out of the upcoming talks, adding that the United States had "just about" ended a suspension of intelligence sharing with Kyiv.

Trump special envoy Steve Witkoff, who has been arranging the talks, has said the idea is to "get down a framework for a peace agreement and an initial ceasefire as well."

Zelenskyy has called for a truce in the air and at sea, as well as a prisoner exchange, in what he says could be a test of Russia's commitment to ending the war.

Moscow has rejected the idea of a temporary truce, which has also been proposed by Britain and France, saying it was a bid to buy time for Kyiv and prevent its military collapse.

The MRC report assessed how Wikipedia categorizes news sources, finding that conservative outlets are labeled as "generally unreliable" or effectively blacklisted.

Sanger recently told Fox News that Wikipedia has abandoned its neutrality policy, which insists content is "represented fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias."

"Neutrality means you can't tell what position a person takes on the topic," he said. "Any of the controversial issues that the topic of the article raises, you can't tell what position they take on them. Almost no Wikipedia articles these days rise to that level."

Earlier last month, Sanger wrote a blog entry in which he detailed his personal journey from skepticism to Christianity.

Before he was sentenced in November in U.S. District Court in Boston, Teixeira showed little emotion as he stood in court and apologized for his actions. The 22-year-old previously admitted he illegally collected some of the nation's most sensitive secrets and shared them with other users on the social media platform Discord.

"I wanted to say I'm sorry for all the harm that I brought and caused," Teixeira said. "I understand all the responsibility and consequences fall upon my shoulders alone and accept whatever that will bring."

Afterward, Teixeira hugged one of his attorneys, looked toward his family and smiled before being led from court. His family left without commenting to reporters, but his mother and others submitted letters to the court seeking leniency.

Teixeira, of North Dighton, Massachusetts, was part of the 102nd Intelligence Wing at Otis Air National Guard Base in Massachusetts. He worked as a cyber transport systems specialist, which is essentially an information technology specialist responsible for military communications networks. He remains in the Air National Guard in an unpaid status, an Air Force official said.

Authorities said he first typed out classified documents he accessed and then began sharing photographs of files that bore SECRET and TOP SECRET markings.

Prosecutors also said he tried to cover his tracks before his arrest. Authorities found a smashed tablet, laptop and an Xbox gaming console in a dumpster at his house.

A few hours later, Musk responded: "Tough, but necessary. Good working with you. The important parts of USAID should always have been with Dept of State."

His comments came after the New York Times reported that he and Musk clashed during a Cabinet meeting on Thursday, with Musk accusing the top U.S. diplomat of not carrying out deep enough staff cuts at the State Department.

At the meeting, Trump told his Cabinet heads that they, not Musk, have the final say on staffing and policy at their agencies, Reuters reported. Trump denied the NYT report on Friday when asked about it by reporters.

Trump, Musk and Rubio had dinner on Saturday evening at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Sunday.

Hungary Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a longtime Trump supporter, said Friday that the EU cannot afford to finance Ukraine's military efforts as U.S. financial aid is no longer guaranteed. He did so after the leaders of 26 EU countries signed a statement voicing support for Ukraine without Hungary.

Orban said Saturday that his country and the U.S. will agree on an economic cooperation package that will help the Hungarian economy and could offset the effect of possible U.S. tariffs.

Other elements of the agreement will help Hungary to "offset, at a national economic level, the losses caused by U.S. tariffs imposed on Europe and will provide compensation both in monetary and real economic terms."

According to John Mercer, the head of global research at Coresight, a retail data firm, discretionary spending in middle markets for goods such as apparel, home goods, and accessories are among the hardest hit by the current economic climate. Even cheaper brands like Ross and Burlington, which typically perform well in economic downturns, have tempered their expectations for growth.

"The margin for error in the event of a downturn in employment and the economy is very, very little," said Brandon Svec, the head of U.S. retail analytics at CoStar Group. "The upside appears to be relatively minimal, as well, given how little consumers have left in the tank."

The charges were part of a broader push by the Justice Department during former President Joe Biden's administration to crack down on transnational repression, or efforts by U.S. adversaries like Iran and China to silence dissidents on American soil.

The two-week trial could provide a window into alleged ties between Iran's government and criminal organizations prosecutors say it hires to do its "dirty work."

A representative of Iran's U.N. mission did not respond to a request for comment on the trial of Amirov and Omarov.

U.S. prosecutors in 2021 brought charges against four Iranian intelligence officers over the alleged kidnapping plot. They are at large, and Tehran has called the allegations baseless.

The alleged murder plot came to light in 2022, when Khalid Mehdiyev - an alleged co-conspirator of Amirov and Omarov - was arrested outside Alinejad's New York home with an AK-47 rifle.

Trump Declines to Rule Out 2025 US Recession

President Donald Trump declined in an interview aired Sunday to rule out the possibility that the United States might enter a recession this year.

"I hate to predict things like that," he told a Fox News interviewer when asked directly about a possible recession in 2025.

"There is a period of transition, because what we're doing is very big -- we're bringing wealth back to America," he said, adding, "It takes a little time."

But Trump's commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, was more definitive when asked Sunday about the possibility of a recession.

"Absolutely not," he told NBC's "Meet the Press" when asked whether Americans should brace for a downturn.

Much of the uncertainty stems from Trump's shifting tariff policy -- effective dates have changed, as have the sectors being targeted -- as businesses and investors try to puzzle out what will come next.

Kevin Hassett, Trump's chief economic advisor, was asked on ABC whether tariffs were primarily temporary or might become permanent.

Hassett said that depended on the behavior of the countries targeted. If they failed to respond positively, he said, the result could be a "new equilibrium" of continuing tariffs.

The administration has insisted that while the economy will pass through a possibly bumpy "transition," things are headed in a positive direction.

In his State of the Union message on Tuesday, Trump told Americans to expect "a little disturbance" as tariffs take hold, while adding: "We're okay with that. It won't be much."

And his Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has warned of a "detox period" as the economy cuts government spending.

Given the uncertainties, economists have been wary of making firm predictions.

Economists at Goldman Sachs, citing Trump's policies, have raised their odds of a recession over the next 12 months from 15 percent to 20 percent.

And Morgan Stanley predicted "softer growth this year" than earlier expected.

Recessions are generally defined as two consecutive quarters of weak or negative GDP growth.

The US was briefly in recession in early 2020 as the Covid pandemic spread. Millions of people lost jobs.

Federal officials maintain a permanent flight restriction over Trump's club that expands to a radius of 30 nautical miles when the president is in residence.

Air traffic control audio captured someone on the plane reporting that an aircraft door was open and requesting a landing at the airport. An air traffic controller is heard clearing the plane to land, before saying, "Pull up!" Moments later, someone can be heard saying the aircraft was down.

The FAA said it will investigate.

"Intelligence agencies," he added, "spent a lot of time and energy infiltrating Chinese research programs, including military programs, and they were trying to protect their assets as far as possible so [they] did not want any investigations into that [Wuhan] laboratory.

"The more scrutiny of the laboratory, especially by the Chinese leadership, the higher the risk. I don't know all the answers, but the bottom line is that this does not smell right."

Redfield said he expects the Trump administration to declassify information pertaining to the outbreak.

"I suspect all the intelligence agencies will — like the CIA — have to reevaluate their analysis on COVID and will be unanimous in their conclusions. I think they'll all come out and say critical analysis of the intelligence data concludes it came from the lab."

Redfield concluded, pinning Fauci, who received a preemptive pardon from former President Joe Biden, as a modern-day J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb.

"Fauci must deal with the same issue as Oppenheimer: He used science that maybe he thought was for a greater good that ended up killing hundreds of thousands of people and will continue to kill millions more, because this virus is with us until the end of time."

Scott added, "The president of the United States was elected ... by the American people to basically rein in government, rein in this waste, to bring some accountability, some transparency, some common sense to government. And that's exactly what Donald Trump is doing.

"People are fed up with wasteful government spending. And we have had a 2% increase in population in five years and a 53% increase in spending."

He added, "We will not get interest rates down, we will not get inflation under control until we balance the budget. That's what we have to do. And Elon Musk is part of the process of balancing the budget."

When asked about accusations that some of the firings have been done in a chaotic way, only to be rescinded a short while later, Scott said, "You do your best you can every day. What they're trying to do is rein in government ... are they going to be perfect? No. No one's perfect.

"Are they, when they make a mistake, are they going to fix it? Yes. We have a big problem. We have $36.5 trillion for the debt. We have got to be very aggressive at figuring out how to do this."

The senator added, "I'm very comfortable that Donald Trump, Elon Musk, our agency heads, they're going to do the best they can. And if they make a mistake, they will fix their mistake. These are smart people. They're willing to work really hard to do the right thing."

American shipbuilders say they are ready to seize the moment, but experts warn that even a concerted effort to respond to China's overwhelming dominance of the sector will take years -- and cost many billions of dollars.

"This is a historic moment," said Matt Paxton, president of the Shipbuilders Council of America (SCA), which represents more than 150 US shipbuilding companies.

The US Navy, when asked for comment, referred AFP to the White House.

"We are waiting to learn more," Cynthia Cook, who heads the defense-industrial group at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), told AFP. "It is clear that shipbuilding is an industrial weakness of the United States."

But, she added: "You cannot immediately get more ships by throwing money at the problem."

US ship production is down 85 percent from the 1950s, and the number of naval shipyards capable of building the largest vessels has fallen by 80 percent, according to the McKinsey consultancy.

  • 'Not what it was' -

In the 1970s, five percent of commercial ships built in the world (in gross tonnage) came from American shipyards.

That share has since plunged to a scant one percent, a drop in the water compared to China (50 percent), South Korea (26 percent) or Japan (14 percent).

"We need some solutions to our shipbuilding gaps," said the CSIS's Cook, while noting that Seoul and Tokyo, at least, are US allies.

"I absolutely admit that US shipyard capacity is not what it once was," Paxton said last month before a congressional committee.

Republican Senator Roger Wicker painted a dire picture during a confirmation hearing last month for businessman John Phelan as navy secretary.

"Just about every major US shipbuilding program is behind schedule, over budget or irreparably off track," said Wicker, who chairs the Armed Services Committee.

  • Worker shortage -

Shipbuilders say their work is regularly complicated by last-minute changes requested by the navy, which cause delays and budget overages.

Another problem is a severe worker shortage.

Carney said Canada will keep retaliatory tariffs in place until "the Americans show us respect."

Carney navigated crises when he was the head of the Bank of Canada and when in 2013 he became the first noncitizen to run the Bank of England since it was founded in 1694. His appointment won bipartisan praise in the U.K. after Canada recovered from the 2008 financial crisis faster than many other countries.

The opposition Conservatives hoped to make the election about Trudeau, whose popularity declined as food and housing prices rose and immigration surged.

Carney has picked up one endorsement after another from Cabinet ministers and members of Parliament since declaring his candidacy in January. He is a highly educated economist with Wall Street experience who has long been interested in entering politics and becoming prime minister, but he lacks political experience.

The other top Liberal leadership candidate was former Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland. Trudeau told Freeland in December that he no longer wanted her as finance minister, but that she could remain deputy prime minister and the point person for U.S.-Canada relations. Freeland resigned shortly after, releasing a scathing letter about the government that proved to be the last straw for Trudeau.

In addition, the arrival of some 12,000 North Korean soldiers in Kursk has bolstered Russia's offensive operations, and Ukraine has now lost about half of the territory it once occupied in Kursk.

Ukraine's military said that the Russian forces had gained a "foothold" on the outskirts of Sudzha, a border town, adding that "currently, the Russian special forces are being identified, blocked, and destroyed. The enemy losses in the Sudzha area are very significant."

But in the face of Moscow's gains so far in the region, some Ukrainians have suggested that the Kursk incursion may have exhausted its strategic value.

"I didn't think I would ever say this. But maybe it's time to 'close the shop' from the Kursk direction. It's hard for our guys there," said Serhii Flesh. "As a diversion of enemy resources, I think this operation has long since justified itself. As a political bargaining card, it is now questionable."

He was inside his university-owned apartment a few blocks from campus Saturday night when ICE agents entered the residence and took him into custody, Greer said.

Despite graduating months ago, Khalil, who earned his undergraduate degree in Beirut, still lived in school-provided housing due to a policy allowing students to remain on campus after graduating, a source told The Post.

He has remained active in recent disruptive protests, including last week’s takeover of the Milstein Library at Barnard College. Videos and photographs posted on X depict him holding a bullhorn near the library entrance and engaged in discussion with school administrators.

That protest featured violent propaganda flyers that purportedly came directly from the “Hamas Media Office,” including one pamphlet titled “Our Narrative… Operation Al-Aqsa Flood,” which justified the Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people — and in which women were repeatedly raped, whole families were executed and 251 hostages were taken to the Gaza Strip.

Others at the Barnard library takeover passed around trading card-like photos of notorious Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed by an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon last September.

Ari Shrage, head of Columbia’s Jewish Alumni Association, told The Post he was dismayed and concerned to see the literature that was being distributed.

“These protesters were handing out materials from terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah. Every American citizen should be concerned when students are encouraging terrorist activities on US soil regardless of their nationality.”

In recent weeks, Barnard College was the site of campus building takeovers for two consecutive weeks to protest the expulsion of a pair of students who barged into a Columbia class on modern Israel in January and tossed around pro-Hamas flyers.

One of the documents depicted an Israeli flag in flames and another showed an army boot stomping a Star of David.

In response to the administrators kicking the perpetrators off campus, dozens of masked protesters stormed Barnard’s historic Milbank Hall, the oldest building on campus, on Feb. 26, egged on by pro-Intifada group Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine.

A school security guard was assaulted as the violent mob forced its way inside, where protesters graffitied political messages ilke “free Palestine” and “Barnard expels students.”

A week later on March 5, around 200 demonstrators seized the academic nerve center of the elite private women’s college, Milstein Library, where they hung an Old West-style “Wanted” poster featuring Dean of Students Leslie Grinage and a shoddy effigy of Barnard President Laura Rosenbury.

The NYPD evacuated the building after a bogus bomb threat and arrested nine students from nearby schools — many of them privileged youths — who refused lawful orders to disperse.
