Biden Orders Federal Reserve to ‘Explore’ Digital Cash
Democrat President Joe Biden has ordered the U.S. Federal Reserve to “explore” the use of a “digital dollar” in place of traditional physical cash.
Since Day One of being sworn into office, Biden’s executive orders have been wreaking havoc on America’s economy.
His orders attacking the oil and gas industry cost the economy thousands of American jobs.
The moves have triggered soaring gas prices, skyrocketing energy bills, food shortages, and more.
According to a report from the Gatestone Institute, Biden’s plan for the future of the dollar is about to create further chaos in America’s economy.

Canada: Feds Push Deficit Until 2028 After Announcing Slate of Spending in New Budget
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has pushed back plans to balance the budget and is projecting deficits until the year 2028.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland unveiled the budget Tuesday, confirming prior media leaks that the government would expand dental care, offer a grocery rebate, and protect Canadians against predatory lending.
Ottawa also ditched its projection to balance the budget within five years with the next fiscal year, predicting a $40.1 billion deficit. That deficit is expected to drop to $14 billion by 2028.
In total, the Liberals have pledged a whopping $497 billion in this year’s budget, which Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has called a “fiscally responsible” move.

France’s public debt remains uncomfortably high at close to €3 trillion, according to data published on Tuesday by the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE).
Government debt stood at €2.95 trillion at the end of last year, and despite the country’s debt-to-GDP ratio dipping slightly last year compared to 2021, it remains at a historically high level of 111.6 percent. For context, public debt as a percentage of the country’s gross domestic product was well under 100 percent in the years preceding Emmanuel Macron’s presidency.
However, a slight decline in public spending and a rise in tax revenue last year kept the debt in line with the French government’s long-term deficit reduction targets.

Kentucky Bans ESG Investing for Public Pensions
Kentucky Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear has signed into law a measure barring asset managers handling the state’s retirement systems from considering environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors when making investments with state funds.
Beshear signed House Bill 236 on Friday, requiring that such asset managers only consider financial factors and the interests of the fund’s beneficiaries. It further explicitly bans “actions on nonpecuniary interests including environmental, social, political, and ideological interests,” a summary of the bill explains.
State Treasurer Allison Ball celebrated the law’s signing, saying “Kentucky now has the strongest anti-ESG legislation in the nation.”

Army Veteran Who Shot Armed Gangster Charged With Murder by Another Soros-Backed DA
Most convicts would rather serve a year in a county jail or a state prison rather than six months in the Baltimore City Jail, which is dank, dirty and dangerous, especially for someone accused of murdering one of the city’s Crips gang members.
Medically retired U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Alejandro Gonzalez has spent more than 16 months behind bars, accused of first-degree murder. He and his legal team hope someone in the Baltimore State’s Attorney’s Office will reexamine his case, realize he acted in self-defense and drop the murder charges a second time.
Gonzalez’s entry into the city’s criminal justice system can be blamed on one person: Baltimore’s Soros-backed and recently disgraced former State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby.;

Before Nashville School Rampage, Shooter Messaged Former Teammate Something Bad Was About to Happen
Averianna Patton said she saw the Instagram messages at 9:57 a.m. Monday, less than 20 minutes before police said they received calls about a shooter at The Covenant School.
The Nashville school shooter warned that something bad was about to happen in messages to a former middle school basketball teammate before opening fire Monday at The Covenant School.
Averianna Patton said she saw the Instagram messages at 9:57 a.m. Monday, less than 20 minutes before police said they received calls about a shooter at the private Christian school.
In the messages, Audrey Hale, the person police identified as the shooter, talked about not wanting to live anymore and said that their family did not know what they were about to do.
Hale is transgender, Metropolitan Nashville Police Chief John Drake said. In the first message sent to Patton, Hale signed it as “Audrey (Aiden).”
Patton tried to be supportive, according to screenshots of the messages. In their last message, Hale said that something bad was about to happen and asked for forgiveness.

Biden Bans Federal Use of Spyware, Doesn’t Detail What Technologies Are Banned
President Joe Biden has restricted the federal government from using spyware, but has not specified exactly what technologies he has targeted.
In an executive order on Monday, Biden banned intelligence, defense, law enforcement, and the rest of the federal government from using spyware if the technology itself presents a security risk to the government or U.S. citizens, according to the Washington Times.
Spyware is a program one installs to a target’s computer that then monitors the user’s activity and transmits it to another party. The administration has refused to provide a list of software that the government will not use.

Breaking: Jury in Douglass Mackey Trial Tells Judge They Cannot Come to a Unanimous Decision
After the first full day of deliberations in the meme trial of Douglass Mackey, the jury sent a note saying that they had completed their deliberations and were unable to reach a unanimous decision as to his guilt.
“After the first full day of deliberations in the Douglass Mackey trial, the jury sent this note: ‘We have completed our deliberations and we have not reached a unanimous decision. Please advise.’ The judge sent them home for the night, told them to keep going in the morning,” the Daily News’ Brooklyn Court reporter John Annese reported.
“Brooklyn Federal Court Judge Ann Donnelly told the Mackey jurors, ‘This is actually not unusual. By our terms you’ve only been deliberating for a little while.’ She told them to take their time,” Annese continued.
Mackey, who was charged with election interference, has been on trial in the Eastern District of New York on federal charges. His alleged crime was making a meme in the lead up to the 2016 presidential election encouraging those who wished to vote for Hillary Clinton to do so via text.

California Legislature Greenlights Plan to Cap Oil Refinery Profits
The California Assembly on Monday approved a plan to create an agency that could cap oil refineries’ profits in a bid to slash gas prices as the state grapples with skyrocketing energy costs.
The bill, a pet project of Gov. Gavin Newsom (D.) and Attorney General Rob Bonta, would establish a politically appointed commission that could penalize the state’s oil refineries it believes earn too much money. Panelists would have the power to set a “price gouging penalty” for companies with profits officials deem to be too high, and oversee refineries’ maintenance schedules to prevent them from going offline at the same time.
The legislation comes as Californians grapple with the fallout of the state’s green energy policies. The Newsom administration’s push to shutter refineries and transition the grid to renewable sources last summer caused per-gallon gas prices to skyrocket to $6.30 on average.

Durham Bombshell: Prosecutor Unveils Smoking Gun FBI Text Message, ‘Joint Venture’ To Smear Trump
Special Counsel John Durham is revealing new smoking gun evidence, a text message that shows a Clinton campaign lawyer lied to the FBI, while putting the courts on notice he is prepared to show the effort to smear Donald Trump with now-disproven Russia collusion allegations was a “conspiracy.”
In a bombshell court filing late Monday night, Durham for the first time suggested Hillary Clinton’s campaign, her researchers and others formed a “joint venture or conspiracy” for the purpose of weaving the collusion story to harm Trump’s election chances and then the start of his presidency.
“These parties acted as ‘joint venturer[s]’ and therefore should be ‘considered as co-conspirator[s],’“ he wrote.
Durham also revealed he has unearthed a text message showing Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann falsely told the FBI he was not working on behalf of any client when he delivered now-discredited anti-Trump research in the lead-up to the 2016 election. In fact, he was working for the Clinton campaign and another client, prosecutors say.

Exclusive: Sen. Roger Marshall Plots Crackdown on Chinese Communist Party Spying
Republican Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall introduced legislation Tuesday that would create an anonymous tip-line for concerned citizens to report suspected Chinese Communist Party espionage activities.
The Chinese Communist Party operates a network of police stations located outside the country, the human rights organization Safeguard Defenders revealed in 2022. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) shut down a Chinatown, New York, station, although the CCP still operates the outposts in dozens of countries. Chinese government operatives reportedly use the stations to monitor local Chinese emigrants, and in some cases extraordinarily render them back to China.
Marshall’s bill, obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller, creates an FBI tip-line for individuals to use and report the existence of the police stations.

The murder trial for an Army sergeant who shot and killed a protester during riots that rocked the US in the summer of 2020 began on Monday in Austin, Texas.
During the BLM riots and protests that broke out across the US and in the Texas state capitol in the wake of the death of George Floyd, Sgt. Daniel Perry, was stationed at Fort Hood. Video from that night shows the sequence of events, with Perry’s car being stopped by protestors in the street.
According to police, the night of July 25, 2020, Perry was driving for Uber in downtown Austin to make extra money and came across a large group of protesters illegally blocking city streets as was common in Austin and elsewhere during the weeks of rioting.
Perry’s defense team alleges that the protesters encircled his car and began pounding on his vehicle. Among the protestors was 28-year-old Garrett Foster, who was armed with an AK-47.
According to Perry, Foster raised the firearm at him, prompting him to open fire with a handgun he legally carried for self-defense. Attorney for Perry Doug O’Connell told Fox News, “When Garrett Foster pointed his AK-47 at Daniel Perry, Daniel had two tenths of a second to defend himself. He chose to live.”

One Billion Gretas: Biden Admin Pledges Taxpayer Cash to Support Young Climate Activists Abroad
The Biden administration plans to use taxpayer funds to inspire and support young climate activists in developing countries—even as it acknowledges that young people suffer from “climate-related mental health conditions.”
President Joe Biden’s U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) last year released its 2022-2030 climate strategy, which outlines a $150 billion “whole-of-Agency approach” to building an “equitable world with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.” Included in that effort is a pledge to support “behavior change and communications campaigns” that “encourage youth’s active participation” in the climate movement. Young people, the agency says, “have emerged in recent years as key actors … in demanding government action to tackle the climate crisis,” prompting USAID to increase its funding for “youth-led organizations” working to fight climate change in at least 40 partner countries.

Republicans Accuse WEF-Backed Anti-”Misinformation” Group of Violating Antitrust Laws
Republicans in the House of Representatives have accused the Global Alliance for Responsible Media, which was created by the World Federation of Advertisers and promoted by the World Economic Forum, of violating antitrust laws in its efforts to combat what it defines as online “misinformation.”
“GARM works with its members to demonetize and eliminate disfavored content online,” Rep. Jim Jordan, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, wrote in a letter to the organization. He said that the group has created categories like “debated sensitive social issues” to recommend restricting ads by social media platforms.
“This collusive conduct reduces consumer choice and cuts off access to diverse coverage on matters of national interest,” Jordan added.
According to the lawmaker, the collusion could be a violation of antitrust law in the US, which restricts agreements that restrict trade. He requested GARM and the World Federation of Advertisers for information and documents related to its work.

A sense of “resentment” might have played a role in a 28-year-old’s deadly attack on the private Christian school they once attended, Nashville police said Monday.
The shooter, Nashville resident Audrey Hale, had no previous criminal record before opening fire at The Covenant School, killing three children and three adults, authorities said.
“There’s some belief that there was some resentment for having to go to that school,” Metropolitan Nashville Police Chief John Drake told Lester Holt of NBC News.
Hale had carefully planned the attack with detailed maps and surveillance, police said.
While the shooter might have targeted The Covenant School, Drake stopped short of saying Hale was going after any specific people. There were also indications that Hale had planned to target other locations, Drake told NBC News.
Covenant’s head of school, Katherine Koonce, 60, was among those killed.

California Democrats on Tuesday advanced a bill that would let children as young as 12 years old check into group homes without parental consent, which critics say would enable the “state-sanctioned kidnapping” of children.
The state’s Assembly Judiciary Committee approved the bill, which would allow mental health professionals to commit children to residential facilities upon request, even if the child had not claimed abuse or neglect. The bill instructs counselors to determine whether or not to inform a patient’s parents “after consulting with the minor.” The bill’s authors say their bill is meant to address recent increases in suicide among “youth, particularly Black and Latinx youth.”

Workplace Political Discrimination is the Civil Rights Crisis of Our Time
by Daniel Greenfield
Federal, state and municipal governments relentlessly pursue workplace discrimination, but none of them address the most pervasive form of workplace discrimination in America.
Political discrimination or viewpoint discrimination is everywhere.
And yet at a time when workplaces impose unconscious bias tests to target racial prejudice and other forms of discrimination, few corporations look for viewpoint discrimination. Some even mandate it in their HR procedures which systematically discriminate against conservatives.
Meanwhile the problem appears to have worsened over the last 4 years.
A 2019 survey by the Society for Human Resource Management found that a third of workers believe their employer is intolerant of differing political views. A Perceptyx survey in 2020 found that nearly half of employees expressed concern that they would be mistreated if they disagreed with their manager’s politics and 53% thought it would negatively impact their careers.
Even though numbers like these point to a much higher incidence of workplace discrimination than most of the identity politics metrics that government employment protection groups focus on, viewpoint discrimination is still not being addressed either by legislators or officials even though projecting some of these numbers would indicate that it affects tens of millions of people…

Dutch-Canadian Develops Heart Failure After Taking COVID Booster to Comply With Travel Mandates
(Vision Times) — A Dutch-Canadian man developed severe heart failure and now requires a heart transplant, a condition which developed shortly after taking the booster shot of Pfizer’s Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA gene therapy vaccine in order to meet pandemic era travel requirements to enter Canada to see his children.
Before heart failure changed his life forever, Alex van Kooten was an otherwise extremely healthy and fit 52-year-old who frequently enjoyed sports and leisure activities, such as skiing, bicycle racing, and kite surfing.
Alex, who was born in the Netherlands, immigrated to Canada with his parents at the age of 9, spending most of his life in the Toronto and London regions of Ontario before relocating to the Caribbean after completing his professional career.

Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked “flat-earthers” and “anti-vaxxers” to call for a crackdown on “disinformation” online. He made the comments during a town hall event in Ottawa last week.
Trudeau began by saying the government should find a balance between censorship and free speech to protect people from disinformation.
“Governments have very limited tools to protect people in an online world, which is a good thing. It allows for a tremendous amount of freedom — freedom of expression, freedom of discovery — no oppressive governments controlling what you see, what you want, but it also opens us up to a tremendous amount of crap, of hate speech, of things that are illegal, but also things that are just going to bring us down roads where we’re going to get lost,” he said.
He then talked about misinformation in terms of anti-vaxxers and flat-earthers.

Jeremy Corbyn, the former hard-left leader of Britain’s opposition Labour Party, has been blocked by the party’s national executive committee from standing as a Labour Party candidate at the next general election.
A motion proposed by current leader Sir Keir Starmer, which would prevent the party from endorsing his predecessor’s candidacy, was passed on Tuesday by 22 votes to 12. It effectively bans Mr. Corbyn from standing in any constituency at the next general election as a Labour candidate.
The motion stated that Labour’s chances of winning the next general election would be “significantly diminished” should Mr. Corbyn be allowed to stand.

Ukraine May Recruit Ethnic Hungarian Who Volunteered to Fight Russia as Ambassador to Budapest
Seemingly in an effort to defuse Hungarian-Ukrainian tensions, Ukraine may send an ethnic Hungarian currently fighting in the war as the country’s ambassador to Budapest, news portal HVG reports.
The information was first announced by Hungarian investigative journalist Szabolcs Panyi in a tweet where he wrote that “(Ukrainian President Volodymyr) Zelensky is considering to appoint Sandor Fedir as Ukraine’s ambassador to Hungary, sources tell me (it’s not a done deal yet). Fedir is a university professor of Hungarian ethnicity who became famous for giving lectures from the battlefield.”

The U.S. magazine Foreign Policy has suggested creating a political structure based on the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as a potential solution to current issues affecting Ukraine and Poland. The alliance formed over 600 years ago by the Union of Krewo could offer solutions for today’s Europe, according to the magazine.
The historical union, which also included significant portions of present-day Belarus and Ukraine, helped unite extensive territories of Eastern Europe, including the lands of ancient Kievan Rus, with Western Christianity and countered the threat from the Teutonic Knights.
“The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth grew to become one of the largest countries in Europe and a fascinating laboratory of political governance, studied in some detail by the United States’ founding fathers, particularly in the Federalist Papers. After the end of the Jagiellonian dynasty, it transformed into an electoral monarchy, similar to the city-states of Italy yet operating on a vastly larger scale,” the American magazine notes.

Video Shows Police Knock Out Protester as Tensions Erupt in France
Protesters clashed with police across France Tuesday as tensions remain high over French President Emmanuel Macron’s unpopular pension bill.
On March 16, Macron signed a bill that raised the national retirement age from 62 to 64, making the decision just moments before a vote on the measure was set to be held in the National Assembly. Many French citizens have been riled since, gathering in large protests across the nation that have typically involved violent clashes with police and fires in the streets.
On Tuesday, protests persisted after the French government rejected union leaders’ demands to suspend Macron’s retirement bill, according to a report from Reuters. Macron and his proponents have argued that raising the retirement age is imperative to save the pension system from bankruptcy.

Russian Whose Child Drew Anti-War Image Gets Jail Term But Flees
Alexei Moskalyov’s 13-year-old daughter has been placed in a children’s home after drawing Russian missiles raining down on a Ukrainian mother and child.
A Russian man whose daughter drew an anti-war picture at school has been sentenced to two years in a penal colony on charges of discrediting the armed forces.
Court officials, however, said that Alexei Moskalyov was not present for the sentencing on Tuesday as he had fled from house arrest overnight. The 54-year-old had been wearing a bracelet that tracked his movements but apparently had taken it off, and his whereabouts remained unclear.

India: Is Congress Following ‘Colour Revolution’ Script of George Soros by Wearing Black?
Attired in black, when the Congress led the opposition from the Parliament complex towards Vijay Chowk, it had an uncanny resemblance with colour-coded protests that have been used in other countries to bring down governments, including elected ones on the pretext of restoring democracy.
And the so-called colour-coded revolutions have the fingerprints of George Soros, the architect of the Open Society Institutes which have marshalled the toppling of sovereign government on the template of democracy and human rights.
It is not surprising that opposition parties on Monday contemplated continuing with the “black protests”. According to an ANI report, the discussions took place at the residence of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge who had invited the leaders for a dinner. The agency quoted its sources as saying that the meeting of like-minded opposition parties decided that the protest of opposition parties will continue and will be held in front of the Gandhi statue in Parliament on Tuesday with all of the opposition wearing black clothes.
On Monday itself, to make a maximum national impact, Congress party workers in several states also dressed in black.
Incidentally, the Congress’ alliance with Soros is entirely conceivable as the champion of colour-coded protests had already declared war against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and has loudly called for the restoration of democracy in India and slammed Adani—all three themes which the congress protesters have been airing.

Pakistan Refuses Bail for Saman’s Father, Murder Suspect
(ANSA) — ROME, MAR 28 — An Islamabad judge on Tuesday rejected a request to be released on bail by Shabbar Abbas, the father of Saman Abbas, a 18-year-old woman murdered in Italy in 2021, allegedly by her family for refusing an arranged marriage.
The Italian authorities have requested that Abbas be extradited.
He is accused of killing Saman on the night between April 30 and May 1, 2021, near the northern town of Novellara together with four relatives, including his wife, Nazia Shaheen, the only suspect who is still at large.
Abbas was arrested in Pakistan last November after he and the other suspects fled Italy following the murder.
The trial into the murder of Saman began in February in Reggio Emilia, with her uncle and two cousins are in the dock, while Abbas and Shaheen have also been indicted.
The young woman’s uncle recently took police to the site near the family home, where they allegedly buried her.
The body had been buried so far down it had eluded even sniffer dogs.
Saman’s boyfriend is standing as civil plaintiff in the trial and says he will use any compensation for her death to set up a foundation for victims of arranged marriages and so-called honour killings. (ANSA).

Twitter to Face “Hateful Content” Complaint in Australia
Twitter has lost a motion to get a complaint by an Australian Muslim advocacy group thrown out. The Australian Muslim Advocacy Network (Aman) filed the complaint after Twitter repeatedly refused to remove posts accused of inciting hatred towards Muslims.

Unlike Germany, Hungary’s Migration Policy Has Set an Example for All of Europe
The Hungarian government’s approach to defending Europe’s external borders has set an example for all of Europe, unlike its German counterparts who continue to advocate mass immigration despite protests from their own citizens, Hungary’s Justice Minister Judit Varga said on Tuesday.

She highlighted a number of statistics revealing that 59 percent of Germans no longer believe it is possible to accept any more asylum seekers.

Breaking: Katie Hobbs’ Press SEC Posts Threat of Violence Against ‘Transphobes’ on Twitter
Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs’ notoriously progressive press secretary Josselyn Berry tweeted out a photo of a woman pointing two guns in response to what she considers to be “transphobia.” This comes just one day after a trans school shooter gunned down three children and three adults at a Christian private school in Nashville.
“Us when we see transphobes” the tweet read.
The image appears to be in violation of Twitter’s policy against violent threats which states: “You may not threaten to inflict physical harm on others, which includes (but is not limited to) threatening to kill, torture, sexually assault, or otherwise hurt someone.”

Canadian Constitutional Lawyer Rips Calgary Law Banning Drag Queen Story Hour Protests
(LifeSiteNews) — Top constitutional lawyer John Carpay has blasted Calgary City Council for going to “war” against Canadians’ freedoms by using bylaws to target people’s ability to protest events at public facilities, including drag queen performance directed at children.
In an opinion piece published on March 17 in the Western Standard, Carpay, who is the president of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, said “freedom of expression is meaningless if citizens are only allowed to say what’s approved by the government, or if expression is banished from public spaces.”
There already exists laws to “prevent people from obstructing property,” wrote Carpay, noting that “When municipal politicians pass bylaws against behavior that is already criminal, they are merely virtue-signaling.”

Euthanasia is Soaring as Nations Relax Suicide Laws
Euthanasia has been soaring in nations around the world in recent years, with many countries increasingly relaxing regulations as citizens line up for “assisted suicide.”
The relaxation of euthanasia laws has predictably led to vast increases in the number of people who are dying under the label of “medically-assisted dying.”
As Slay News has reported, far-left Canada, one of the world “leaders” in euthanasia, has been accused of using the laws to kill off sick and poor citizens who would be a burden on the nation’s socialist systems.
But Canada is not alone as so-called “assisted suicide” is also booming in other countries.
For years, Switzerland has been a haven for those wanting to say goodbye to the cruel world.

Hate Crimes Against Canadian Catholics on the Rise: Report
A recently-published report found that “hate crimes” against Catholics have more than tripled in Canada since 2020.
In a March 16 communiqué entitled “Toward a Hopeful Future: Facing Down Religious Hate,” the Christian think tank Cardus reported that hate crimes against Catholics have seen the “largest spike” relative to previous years, jumping from 43 known instances in 2020 to 155 instances in 2021.
The non-partisan research organization noted that the numbers coincide with the residential school announcements, which fingered the blame of possible unmarked graves at the Catholic Church’s apparent mismanagement of educational institutions for Indigenous youth.
Since the Kamloops Residential school story broke in May of 2021, True North has reported that over seventy Catholic and Christian churches have been burned and vandalized.
