Credit: Screenshot via Sky News Australia President-elect Donald Trump reportedly joked that Canada should become the 51st state and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, its governor if they can’t stop ripping off the American people. Undoubtedly true, and a classically disarming Trump line. Now, though, MSNBC host Joy Reid is broken. Trump originally proposed a 25% tariff on our neighbors to the North if they didn’t work to stop illegal immigration (Yes, that’s a thing, too) at the border and the scourge of fentanyl pouring into the United States along with it. As a result, Trudeau huffed his way on down…

The world economy is poised to grow 3.2 per cent this year and 3.3 per cent in 2025 and 2026 as lower inflation, job growth and interest rate cuts help offset fiscal tightening in some countries, the OECD said in its latest Economic Outlook. Its latest forecasts were largely in line with its last review dating from September, when it had expected growth…
Johannesburg, South Africa – “I was looking down to help the patient [when] I saw someone come into the room. I saw the boots, and when I looked up I was staring into a gun.” It’s a warm October night in Meyerton, south of Johannesburg, and Sonia*, a senior paramedic working for a private ambulance service, is recounting a particularly harrowing day at work in South Africa’s crime-ridden economic capital. She is in her early 40s and does not want to be identified to protect her privacy. “The guy said to me: “Keep quiet, keep quiet. Go down!” At first…

Nobody doubts that Albert Einstein had a brilliant mind. But the Nobel prizewinner, famous for his theories of special and general relativity, wasn’t blessed with a big brain. “It was smaller than average,” says Jeremy DeSilva at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. This seems surprising. Big brains are a defining feature of human anatomy, and one we are proud of. Other species might be speedy or powerful, but we thrive using the ingenuity that comes with a large brain. Or so we tell ourselves. Einstein’s brain hints that the story isn’t so simple – and recent fossil discoveries confirm this.…

Donald Trump Jr. — with an assist from his younger brother Eric — aggressively lobbied his father to pick Sen. JD Vance…
