But in interviews with dozens of officials, analysts and ordinary citizens across Muslim-majority countries, there was overwhelming agreement that the order issued Friday signaled a provocation: a sign that the American president sees Islam itself as the problem. Continue reading the main story “I think this is going to alienate the whole Muslim world,” said Mouwafak al-Rubaie, a lawmaker and former Iraqi national security adviser in Iraq. […]

Investors sought US technology shares this week, underlining the degree to which money managers are broadening their search for sectors that should benefit from a pick-up in spending by corporate America. There were inflows of almost $900m in the week to January 25 into funds invested in technology stocks, according to flows tracked by EPFR. “We think that there is going to be a more meaningful capital […]

Civil rights groups have also contended that Trump’s rhetoric about “sanctuary cities” is built on myths, including the belief that such cities block federal immigration agents from conducting enforcement. No city can block such enforcement, which is a federal responsibility. The concept of a sanctuary city is loose, with some cities, for example, issuing no more than proclamations that they welcome immigrants and others adopting official policies […]

Submitted by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.com, In my last two articles, ‘How Globalists Predict Your Behavior’ and ‘How To Predict The Behavior Of Globalists’, I explained the base fundamentals behind a concept with which most people are unfamiliar. They are so unfamiliar with it, in fact, that I didn’t bother to name it. In this article I hope to explain it, but I highly recommend people read […]

(The 19 hijackers implicated in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack came from Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. None of those countries will be subject to what Mr. Trump described as “new vetting measures.”) Continue reading the main story During the 90-day period, the Trump administration will assess if the foreign governments on the list are providing enough information about citizens seeking visas […]

The rebound in Brazil’s economy that many expected following last year’s change of government has failed to materialise. GDP will grow just 0.5 per cent this year according to a central bank survey. In per capita terms, that means another 12 months of contraction after headline negative growth of about 8 per cent over the past two years. Not that investors are deterred. The Bovespa equities index […]

Most conversations in edtech—and higher-education reform more broadly—begin and end with the classroom. And not without good reason. Teaching is a primary function of the university, especially at community colleges. However, what gets lost in teaching-centric conversations is another important, and arguably complementary, end—research. While skeptical readers can cherry-pick abstruse research projects, university knowledge production benefits plenty of folks who never attend college. Some of […]

By Dave Graham | MEXICO CITY MEXICO CITY Donald Trump’s combative style has buffeted Mexico’s president for months, but deeply unpopular Enrique Pena Nieto may end up thanking the new U.S. president for prompting offended Mexicans to rally behind their leader. From billionaire business magnate Carlos Slim to political opponents, there has been a groundswell of support for Pena Nieto, who has cut a lonely figure in […]

By Emily Stephenson and Mica Rosenberg President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order that will limit immigration and refugees from some Muslim-majority countries and he separately said he wanted the United States to give priority to Syrian Christians fleeing the civil war there.

By Lesley Wroughton | WASHINGTON WASHINGTON The Trump administration will not issue executive orders calling for a review of international treaties and U.S. funding of the United Nations and other international bodies “at this time,” a senior U.S. administration official said on Friday.

The Mexican peso rallied on Friday after Donald Trump and Enrique Peña Nieto spoke for an hour by telephone, a day after the Mexican president cancelled his planned summit with the US president over his plans for a border wall. “The presidents had a constructive and productive conversation regarding the bilateral relationship between both countries, including the issue of the US trade deficit with Mexico, the importance […]

Mexico has been in the crosshairs this week as US president Donald Trump held true to his campaign rhetoric and ordered the construction of a wall along the Mexican border, with White House press secretary suggesting a 20 per cent tax on imports could pay for it. With relations between the two countries on course for crisis, has Mr Trump done enough to scare investors away from […]

WASHINGTON President Donald Trump said on Friday that Syrian Christians will be given priority when it comes to applying for refugee status in the United States. “If you were a Muslim you could come in, but if you were a Christian, it was almost impossible and the reason that was so unfair, everybody was persecuted in all fairness, but they were chopping off the heads of everybody […]

By Steve Holland and Elizabeth Piper | WASHINGTON WASHINGTON U.S. President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May, who share an unusual bond as the products of anti-establishment uprisings, will sit down on Friday for what could be a difficult search for unity on NATO, Russia and trade. The meeting will mark Trump’s first with a foreign leader since taking power a week ago, and it […]

TORONTO General Motors Co will cut 625 jobs at its auto assembly plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, by the end of July and move some production work to Mexico, the president of Canada’s largest auto workers union said on Friday. “This came right out of left field,” said Jerry Dias, the president of the union, Unifor, in a phone interview. “This is NAFTA, this has nothing to do […]

WASHINGTON U.S. Senator John McCain, commenting on Friday on speculation that President Donald Trump may lift sanctions on Russia, said he hoped the administration would reject that “reckless course.” “If he does not, I will work with my colleagues to codify sanctions against Russia into law,” McCain, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee and one of the Republican party’s senior foreign policy voices, said in a […]

Donald Trump will wade into the most contentious foreign policy issue of his tumultuous young presidency on Saturday, when he speaks to Russian President Vladimir Putin as he considers whether to lift Obama-era sanctions against the Kremlin. The call to Mr Putin, scheduled the same day as Mr Trump’s first White House calls with the leaders of Germany and France, will be his first chance to make […]

Submitted by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog, The Dow Jones Industrial Average provides us with some pretty strong evidence that our “stock market boom” has been fueled by debt.  On Wednesday, the Dow crossed the 20,000 mark for the first time ever, and this comes at a time when the U.S. national debt is right on the verge of hitting 20 trillion dollars.    Is […]

Credit: Michael Vadon Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0) Now that President Trump is in the White House, there are some breathless stories going around about the technology his administration is adopting. When Barack Obama came into the White House, he was the most connected president ever, an active user of an actual BlackBerry, before that concept became so terribly quaint. At the time, I covered the […]

Cyber security helped elect Donald Trump. During the presidential campaign, hackers cracked open all of the Democrats’ secrets and splayed them out for everyone to see, while Hillary Clinton was raked over the coals for using an insecure server for her own personal email. Republicans’ communications, meanwhile, stayed out of the public eye. But success can breed hubris, and there are some worrying trends in […]
