Egypt to replace F-16s with China's fighter jets

Egypt has reportedly signed an agreement with China to purchase J-10C fighter jets, aiming to replace its aging fleet of F-16 Fighting Falcons.

According to various reports, the deal for the Chengdu J-10C, also known as the "Vigorous Dragon," was signed on August 19, 2024. This acquisition would make Egypt the second international customer for the J-10C, following Pakistan.

The move follows growing speculation that Egypt is seeking alternatives to modernize its air force as the country begins to phase out its older F-16 aircraft. The J-10C is a multi-role fighter jet equipped with advanced air-to-air and air-to-ground weaponry. Its capabilities have been compared to the American F-16, with particular strengths in air superiority missions.


Comment: Perhaps their decision was swayed by developments such as these: US' troubled F-35s finally cleared for delivery, with numerous caveats and for training use only


Comment: An interesting development given that the deal naturally includes closer cooperation between the two countries, and it involved a rejection of the US, which has quite a hold over the country. And more so given how Egypt's compliance to US diktats is important given America's backing of Israel's genocide of Palestinians, right on Cairo's borders.

Germany tells EU it can't take any more migrants

Berlin has no choice but to bolster border controls, as state and federal resources have been "almost exhausted" on refugees and asylum seekers, German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has reportedly told Brussels.

Earlier this week, Chancellor Olaf Scholz's government announced that Germany would begin checking passports along the land border again for at least six months, without regard to the Schengen agreement.

"No country in the world can accept an unlimited number of refugees," Faeser said in a letter to the European Commission, which Der Spiegel obtained on Wednesday.

Comment: Officially, last year, Germany received just under 100,000 illegal migrants. And it's estimated that at least 1 million since 2015. However, that number is likely substantially higher. The point being that, whilst something can still be done to remedy the situation, those responsible for this easily predictable, and preventable, problem are those still in government today, and so one probably shouldn't trust them to be able to sort it out. Nor think that they have suddenly had some sudden change of heart that, actually, perhaps weaponised mass migration isn't the best route.

And it seems that most Germans agree the current government can't be trusted, because the current chancellor has a less than 30% approval rating, and he is set to suffer for it in the coming elections. Which is perhaps why, in recent weeks, he has made some unusually common sense statements:

Texas: Poll reveals 81% say food costs rising faster than income, 49% cutting back on protein

© Dan Kitwood/Getty ImagesFILE: The trust revealed that during the fist six months of the pandemic it distributed 1.2m food parcels, of which 470,000 went to families with children.
According to a new poll from a D.C-based nonprofit No Kid Hungry, the number of Texans negatively affected by grocery store prices continues to increase, with a vast majority (81%) reporting that food costs are outpacing their incomes, and around half (49%) revealing that they've either cut back on meat consumption, or given it up altogether to remain in budget.

The second statistic is exaggerated among lower-income families making less than $50k, with children in the public school system, where it goes from around one-out-of-two to almost three-out-of-four (71%).


Comment: And it's likely that the protein they were consuming was of a considerably poor quality already. At times like these, people will resort to even cheaper sources, like eggs - which not long ago were also soaring in price, and in part because of all the suspect food plant fires: Jan 2024: Fire tears through huge egg farm in Texas


These survey results echo an earlier poll, conducted this past spring in New York, where almost nine-out-of-ten (85%) respondents said food prices were accelerating past their incomes; I actually wrote a blog I on that at the time and funny enough, I included a graphic from a data analyst who had assembled the map below, arguing that the lower cost of food seen in Texas (compared to the rest of the nation), was an "advertisement" for the state.

Comment: Considering the amount of food America produces, they're some of the unhealthiest and sickest people on the planet, and it's likely that cutting back on protein - even the contaminated stuff that's widely consumed - and supplementing that with carbohydrates, will only result in them being even more susceptible to disease: But, it's not just the US:

ABC debate moderators spark public's fury for aggressive fact-checking of Trump, easy treatment of Harris

David Muir, Linsey Davis repeatedly challenged Trump's claims while letting Harris off the hook

ABC News sparked intense backlash among critics for its aggressive approach to former President Trump versus its soft treatment of Vice President Kamala Harris during Tuesday's presidential debate.

The Disney-owned network shocked the nation as its debate moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis repeatedly fact-checked Trump on various topics from crime, abortion to the former president's past comments about the 2020 election.

"The ABC moderators are fact checking- incorrectly!- and in such a shockingly obviously one-sided way, that Trump enduring the ambush as well as he has is a win," conservative radio host Buck Sexton reacted. "This debate has been a total sham, questions are all attacks on Trump, it's 3 on 1. Outrageous."

Comment: Despite ABC's yeoman effort to get Harris a knockout performance, it will likely be all for nought. The true believers will always support their candidate. The undecideds are the ones who matter.



Rasmussen Reports is probably the most reliable polling organization. This is their latest findings:

The woman currently suing Rudy Giuliani for sexual harassment has been sued in the past by another man for extortion and racketeering.

The Gateway Pundit unearthed a lawsuit dating back to 2016 where real estate mogul Steve Kogut accused Noelle Dunphy (the woman suing Giuliani) of leading a racketeering ring. He alleged the ring targets "High Net Worth Men" and extorts them for cash by using law fare and false sexual allegations as blackmail. In the lawsuit, Kogut said Dunphy accused him of rape and sexual harassment to extort him for cash.

Rudy Giuliani's accuser has been sued for racketeering and extorting millions of dollars from wealthy men in the past.

The fake news did not report on the racketeering lawsuit when this very same woman came out with similar allegations against Rudy Giuliani last year.

Our values in the UK: Killing pensioners to save money

killing pensioners
Britain's PM found a black hole in the country's public finances. It looks like the pensioners will have to help pay up at the cost of their lives!

Nothing says "our values" like reducing deficits by killing pensioners. Britain's new Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has recently announced his government's plan to cut winter fuel subsidies to 10 million pensioners in Britain. It's a tough decision, it will be unpopular and it'll hurt, but it just must be done. Namely, Sir Keir and his cabinet discovered, to their utter shock and consternation, that there was a £22 billion "black hole" in Britain's public finances! This is an emergency that must be rectified even if it causes some discomfort to a few pensioners.

How much discomfort, and to how many pensioners? Back in 2017, when Tory Prime Minister Theresa May floated a similar proposal and Labour was in opposition, their own research determined that cutting winter fuel allowances would kill an estimated 3,850 pensioners that winter. And that was five years ago - practically the good old days, before the "typical household energy bills increased by 54% in April 2022 and 27% in October 2022."

Rescue the Republic has announced Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., as a "Featured Speaker" at a rally in Washington, D.C., on September 29. The organization shares, "The Left and the Right will unite as over one hundred thousand Americans from all political persuasions will descend on Washington."

Additional announced speakers include, Russell Brand, Tulsi Gabbard, Bret Weinstein, Matt Taibbi, Col. Douglas Macgregor (ret.), Robert Malone MD, Pierre Kory MD, Dr. Heather Heying, Jimmy Dore, Tennessee Jet, comedian JP Sears, and musical acts the Defiant, Skillet, Five Times August and TN Jet.

Rescue the Republic shared in a press release, "The non-partisan rally is an effort to unite and mobilize the public and candidates around shared values and eight core pillars of the American Commitment."
"For the first time, more Americans identify as 'Independent' than as members of a major party, with most voters fed up with information operations and corporate media that divide people based on identity politics. These voters believe the Republic is under attack and must be rescued, and they want candidates who will join the fight."

Comment: And if you haven't watched the excellent Dr. Brett Weinstein already ...

5 signs that the US is collapsing

garbage in streets
The US has always been a famously optimistic country. From our beginning, rebelling against the greatest empire the world has ever seen in a bold attempt to gain independence, we've always looked to a brighter future.

Through our history millions of people have come to what they see as a land of opportunity. The American Dream - the idea that if we work had we can succeed - is one of the key threads that runs through our culture.

How optimistic are you feeling now, though? Does it look as if the US is headed onward and upward to a brighter future? Or do you have an uneasy feeling that the American Dream is on the edge of collapsing into a nightmare?

If you do, and you're looking for reassurance, I'm sorry to say I can't give you any. We're not past the point of no return yet, but there's evidence all around us that points to this country being in a dangerously unstable condition.

We could manage to turn things around - but right now we're heading in the wrong direction.

Comment: Some would argue that, for the above and other reasons; war, man-made disease, mass illegal immigration, etc. - a collapse is, in fact, already a near certainty. The only question that seems left remaining, is what - both individually and collectively - those of us who see all this might do to help each other mitigate the profoundly negative changes rapidly approaching.

Elon Musk posts video of Haitian woman describing dog-eating and voodoo practiced in home country and now in America

Hatians eat cats
An American with Haitian background describes why Haitians eat cats on the island.
The fake news outlets are in full swing, desperately attempting to debunk yet another shocking but truthful statement made by President Trump.

During a recent debate, Trump said, "They're eating the dogs, the people that came in, they're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live there, and this is what's happening in our country, and it's a shame."

This comment was immediately met with the standard response from the left-wing media machine: denial, deflection, and outright dismissal of the facts.

Some Democrats even laughed at Trump when he made this statement.

But despite the orchestrated efforts to brush this story under the rug, evidence is mounting that the practice of consuming pets among Haitian migrants is not some far-fetched, xenophobic fantasy. In fact, it's a reality that even a Haitian publication, Haitian Report, has confirmed.

Comment: See:
