Konrad Mizzi offered no new information on his involvement in the Panama Papers scandal today when he briefed a European Parliament committee on the Maltese EU presidency’s priorities for the energy sector. Only one non-Maltese MEP, Reinhald Butikofer of the Greens, mentioned the scandal, despite several MEPs asking technical questions about Dr Mizzi’s energy portfolio. The only other Panama Papers-related questions came from Nationalist MEPs David Casa […]

Earlier today, the New York Times published a 3-page draft of an executive order, allegedly penned by the Trump administration, entitled “Detention and Interrogation of Enemy Combatants.”  According to the NYT, which “obtained” the document from an anonymous source, the executive order seeks to, among other things, reopen overseas CIA “black site” prisons that Obama ordered closed in 2009.  More specifically, the draft order would revoke two […]

Three years after super typhoon Yolanda hit the country, close to 6,000 families in Tacloban City, Leyte, have yet to be given permanent housing. Cabinet Secretary Leoncio Evasco told reporters that “turfing,” or turf wars, among other reasons, has caused the delay in the completion of the housing project. Based on National Housing Authority records, of the 14,433 families needing housing units, only 8,106 units have been […]

Photo: Pbech via Wikimedia Commons The Dutch central bank has made formal complaints about a number of trust offices in the Netherlands following the publication of the Panama Papers – millions of leaked documents about offshore entities. The head of the bank’s integrity division Willemieke van Gorkum told the Financieele Dagblad on Wednesday that ‘action has been taken against individual institutions’ but declined to say which trusts […]

Tribune Media CEO Peter Liguori is leaving Tribune Media after three years leading the TV news and entertainment company. Liguori, who will step down in March, said in a statement his decision to exit the company that needed “a new leader” to navigate the broadcast-centric corporation. Tribune Media — then known as Tribune Company — spun off its newspapers into a separate company, Tribune Publishing, in 2014. Its […]

All but one of the students were enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, also known as DACA. Created in 2012 by an Obama-administration executive action, DACA allowed teenagers and young adults who came to the United States illegally as children with their parents to register with the government and in turn receive a two-year renewable protection against deportation, along with work permits and Social […]

After Trump’s executive order to accelerate the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, angry environmental groups reacted quickly by denouncing Trump’s actions, and promising legal action and White House protests. “Donald Trump has been in office for four days, and he’s already proving to be the dangerous threat to our climate we feared he would be,” said Michael Brune, the executive director of the Sierra Club. He […]

KUALA LUMPUR: The Federal Court has granted leave to the Government to raise questions of law over the damages awarded to The Edge Communications Sdn Bhd after the Home Ministry suspended two of its publications in 2015. Federal Court judge Justice Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin, who chaired a three-man panel, allowed the Ministry’s application to pose three questions after The Edge’s counsel Raja Eileen Soraya Raja Aman did […]

In response to  poor Sally Boynton Brown’s anti-white rhetoric, who is vying for leadership of the DNC by promising to shut her fellow white people down, Dr. Michael Savage offered poignant commentary — hearkening back to when Amy Biehl was killed by S. African retrogrades —  bridging the two anti-white women together by describing them as being afflicted by an acute mental malady — bordering on self-immolation. Listen to the […]

Aside from the LG Watch Sport and Watch Style, the Huawei Watch 2 is another wearable running Android Wear 2.0 that’s expected to launch soon, and it might be unwrapped at the 2017 Mobile World Congress. What’s interesting about the Chinese company’s offering is that there’s reportedly going to be at least one version that supports cellular connectivity. Getting Into The Specifics: Huawei Watch 2 Specs And […]

Many of last year’s academy nominations prompted a backlash from a film-going world where ‘white’ is no longer the norm; in 2017 the focus has shifted and the calibre is just as high. The eyes of the world were focused on the Academy for Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on Tuesday for what were widely expected to be the most diverse Oscar nominations to date. The expectations […]

Having abandoned its venture to lend out roughly $1 billion to legacy Taxi “Medallion” drivers and businesses some two years ago, and shifting its backing over to Uber resulting in many unhappy drivers as well as a handful of lawsuits, Capital One has nonetheless provided a useful spotlight into the troubled state of the traditional “yellow cab” industry by breaking out the details of its runoff commercial […]

A British man has been shot dead in his car in the Thai resort of Pattaya. Tony Kenway, originally from Southampton, was killed in the driver’s seat of his red Porsche Cayenne GTS in the car park of the Sanit sports club in Bang Lamung district, the Bangkok Post reported. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has confirmed it was in contact with local police over the […]

A family of malware uploaded to at least 10 million Android devices last year has reared its ugly head again by hiding inside Google Play apps. Dubbed as the HummingWhale, the malware is believed to be related to HummingBad, which is another family of malware that invaded non-Google apps in July 2016. During HummingBad’s time, there were 50,000 fraudulent apps installed, 20 million malicious advertisements displayed, and […]

Sonos Play 5 Hardware is a tough game. On one hand, device makers have access to far more infrastructure than they did decades ago. This has led to the explosion of companies that have been able to finance — and often deliver — products via crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter. On the other hand, the stakes have also been raised in terms of interface experience. And while […]

Via GEFIRA, US-centric media are reporting that Japan has become the biggest holder of the US treasuries, surpassing China last month. However, this is true only in regard to single countries. If we consider the European Union member states collectively, then they appear to be the biggest holder of the US treasuries. It has been so almost one year long. Unfortunately, the EU’s holdings are artificially overstated […]

Donald Trump is now president. This challenges many of us, not least members of the press. Countless reporters are still shaken and stunned by how he singled out a CNN reporter, one of the most respected news outlets in the world, to attack and humiliate him during his first press conference since winning the elections. Worryingly, none of his fellow journalists in the room stood up for […]

Google has announced that all Chromebooks coming out this year will support Android apps. Chromebooks have always been a popular option in the education sector because of their affordability; however, they have failed to achieve mainstream popularity, especially with home users. The company is pushing through with its plans to incorporate Android apps in its Chromebooks in the hopes of addressing this issue and making the brand more […]

Authored by Paul Craig Roberts, “Racist” is the favorite epithet of the left. Every white person (except leftists) is a racist by definition. As we are defined as racists based on our skin color, I am puzzled why we are called racists a second, third, and fourth time due to specific acts, such as favoring the enforcement of immigration laws. For example, President Donald Trump says he […]

Center for Public Integrity: What are your aspirations for a Trump presidency? Samuel “Joe the Plumber” Wurzelbacher: A strong economy and a strong military and more security for the American people. One of the big promises that Trump has made is “draining the swamp.” What does that mean to you and how do you think he’s going to do that? That means getting rid of some career […]

SINGAPORE – Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is opposed to the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR), a project for which China is among the contenders. Citing financial constraints, the former prime minister, who is chairman of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia, said the HSR contract signed between Malaysia and Singapore may not be a done deal if the Opposition comes to power. “We need to do a study […]
