It is also not the first time Davos, home to the annual World Economic Forum, has been mired in difficulties with its Jewish visitors. The resort has become popular with Israel’s Orthodox Jewish community, which has been visiting in growing numbers, and the head of the tourist board said there had been cases of guests behaving disrespectfully towards their hosts.

  Last week, The Gateway Pundit reported on Craig Callaway’s recent indictment in Atlantic City, NJ for “procuring, casting, and tabulating fraudulent ballots.”  The former Atlantic City council president was caught allegedly paying New Jersey residents $30 to $50 to “act as authorized messengers and request mail-in ballots for voters whom they’d never met.” The alleged crime took place during the 2022 mid-term election when Callaway was paid $65,500 by Rep. Jeff Van Drew’s (R-02) campaign for “strategic consulting”.  Rep. Van Drew had paid Callaway’s firm $110,000 for services in the 2020 campaign as well. Callaway faces up to five…

The Amhara violence is Ethiopia’s most serious crisis since a 2022 peace agreement ended war in neighbouring Tigray. Ethiopia’s federal security forces killed at least 45 civilians in a massacre in Amhara state in late January, the independent state-affiliated Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) said on Tuesday. A statement said the EHRC had confirmed “the identity of at least 45 civilians who were extrajudicially killed by government security forces for allegedly ‘supporting [ethnic Amhara armed group] Fano’.” “However, it can be assumed that the number of victims is even higher,” it said. The killings in the Amhara town of Merawi…

  Opinion   By Bethany Blankley (The Center Square) As is the case in many cities and small towns throughout Texas, families are increasingly losing loved ones to fentanyl poisonings and car accidents that law enforcement officials directly link to the border crisis. In the oil and natural gas capital of far west Texas, a 10-year-old Midland boy was killed by a Mexican man after he illegally entered the country after having been deported five times. About 4:35 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 8, the Midland Police Department responded to a hit and run accident and detained a driver after he struck…

  Apple’s iMessage is not being designated as a “core platform service” under the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), the European Commission announced today. The decision means the service won’t be hit with tough new obligations, including a requirement to offer interoperability with other messaging services. The Commission also opted against designating Microsoft’s Edge browser, Bing search engine, and advertising business as core platform services. “Following a thorough assessment of all arguments, taking into account input by relevant stakeholders, and after hearing the Digital Markets Advisory Committee, the Commission found that iMessage, Bing, Edge and Microsoft Advertising do not qualify…

By Joyce Oen-Hsiao, as told to Keri Wiginton Joyce Oen-Hsiao, MD, FACC, director of clinical cardiology, Yale Medicine, New Haven, CT Right now, cholesterol treatment is more about finding ways to combine current cholesterol drugs a little bit differently and target treatment based on the person themselves. It’s not just standardized — giving everyone a statin right away. New research is about targeting which therapies are better for the elderly, which therapies are better for people with cancer, things like that. There’s a new drug called Nexletol, and it’s used for people with the highest risk. That’s people with genetic or…

Sean Anthony Eddy Well, phooey. Alexandria Real Estate (NYSE:ARE) turns out to be just another ordinary REIT, with lower likely shareholder returns than some of them. I had thought they were a much stronger grower than they are. But perhaps there was a clue in their unique mission statement (from the 8-K): To create and grow life science ecosystems and clusters that ignite and accelerate the world’s leasing innovators in their noble pursuit to advance human health by curing disease and improving nutrition. Nothing there about creating value for their owners, is there? I set out to do a thorough…

  I still remember when we first started trying to figure out how to earn enough money to keep us on the road. All we wanted at that time was enough to cover our travel expenses so that we could keep on exploring the world without running out of money. We thought: “If we could just earn $1,500 CAD per month, we’d have enough to travel and live on the road forever.” At that time, that was an enormous feat. There weren’t thousands of travel bloggers and influencers online back then posting about how they earned millions of dollars while…

Yerevan and Baku accuse each other of opening fire on the heavily militarised border. Four Armenian soldiers have been killed in a fire fight with Azeri forces on the two countries’ shared border, threatening to destabilise efforts to defuse a 30-year conflict. The longtime Caucasian rivals accused one another on Tuesday of sparking the incident. It is the first violence reported on the volatile border since peace talks opened last year in a bid to end the longstanding fighting over the Nagorno-Karabakh region. Armenia’s Ministry of Defence reported that four soldiers were killed and one wounded on Monday at a…
