It is important to note that this is only the second time Jamaica has been invited to the G20 Summit, and the significance of that is often overlooked. I am aware that some questioned my attendance, suggesting that I should have remained home directing the recovery. The truth is,...

I have been seeing many photos of people handing out relief packages, and while this was necessary in the early days, I am concerned about how it affects the dignity of our people. I do not want Jamaica to be portrayed as a place where citizens are scrambling for food or fighting over packages. That is not who we are. We are an independent, proud people, even in times of hardship. If we are giving support, we must do it respectfully and quietly, protecting the dignity of those in distress. And those receiving help must also remember their dignity. This is why I announced that we will be transitioning away from handing out food packages. The system has become too politicized, who got, who didn’t get, and who was invited to distribute. That is not acceptable, and it is not the Jamaica we want to build. So we will move to a voucher or coupon system that allows people to purchase what they need directly, without stigma, without politics, and with their dignity intact.

I note Prime Minister Andrew Holness’s remarks in a TV interview this morning. Neither he nor his Party has made those proposals as part of the process of constitutional reform. His proposals are therefore not in the report of the Constitutional Reform Committee, and will not be in the new Constitution coming out of that process. Furthermore, Mr. Holness’s proposals are not in the existing Constitution, and would violate the existing Constitution. This is in keeping with his and his Government’s unfortunate history of past violations of the Constitution of Jamaica. It seems that the Prime Minister wants to make up a rule which is not part of the Constitution or laws of Jamaica, to suit his Party’s political fortune at a time when it is waning. He has no power and no authority to do that. He needs to tell the country why his statutory declarations to the Integrity Commission cannot be certified. I am compliant with the Constitution and laws of Jamaica, and I undertake to the People of Jamaica that I will continue to be so.

As Arabs, we need to understand that Israel and the West are not our oppressors or enemies. We, Arabs, are our own worst enemies. We, Arabs, are our greatest oppressors. We, Arabs, have killed and oppressed a million times more of our people than the West and Israel can ever do. It is not Israel that married off my mother when she was a child. It is my people who did. It is not the West or Israel that has been bombing Yemen for the past decade and killed 400,000. It is us, Arabs, who did it. It is not the Israel that implanted Islamic extremism in the East and the West. It is our mosques, it is the books we worship, it is the Imams we follow, it is what we learn and what we teach. It is not the West that forces us to treat women like commodities. It is our people. And most of all, it is not the West or Israel that doesn’t value Arab lives. It is us, Arabs, who do not value human life. If we do not admit to ourselves that WE are the problem, that WE are refusing to progress, and that WE need to change – then change will never happen, blood will keep flowing, and we will never know peace. How do we expect the world and the International Community to respect us, when we don’t respect ourselves?

Merz: As far as Iran is concerned, yes, I have become disillusioned with that by now. And that is simply because the United States of America and Israel had assumed right at the beginning that this problem would be solved within a few days. And today we have to realize that it has not been solved. That is why we on the European side also want to make a diplomatic effort to find a solution. I have pointed out that for some time now, diplomatic efforts towards Iran have been taking place again from Germany as well. We are coordinating closely with the American side on this, but we also state that we have our own European ideas on how to reach a solution to the conflict. I hope we succeed, but I am not sure.

POWERFUL: JD is barely able keep composure as he recounte joining Erika as he escorted Charlie from UT back to AZ. "I just realized that all of these moments that I get to have, Charlie is not able to have them anymore." "Maybe the best way that I can contribute and the best way that I can honor my dear friend is to be the best husband that I can be, to be the kind of husband to my wife that he was to his." "Erika asked me this, to make sure that his movement, the movement that Charlie started, has to keep going. We have to build upon it. We have to add to it. We have to make sure that the next generation of young people feels confident and courageous to speak their mind and to speak the truth."

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, I am sending a message of hope and strength to all women. It is essential to recognise that on the path to emotional well-being, you do not have to walk alone and that recovery is always possible. Our well-being is not a luxury; it is the cornerstone of a happy home. There is immense courage in asking for support. Let today be the day we embrace our strength and take that brave first step towards healing.

Today the world sees that real diplomacy is not just about words, it is about steps – steps that need to be taken to fix a situation. We have begun to develop such steps, and this is the practical meaning of the Peace Summit. I hope that we can achieve results as soon as possible. And it is exactly these and other similar practical steps to restore security and peace that will prove to everyone in the world that the UN Charter can be restored to full effectiveness – all the principles and purposes of the UN Charter. #PathtoPeace #PeaceforUkraine

Mikel Arteta apologises to the Arsenal fans today: “I apologise, take it in the chin and that's it. What I'm trying to do is give our best to the club. Give the best possible chance to our players and I know the atmosphere, the fans, the support, the energy in the stadium is the best in the world. “We have a much better chance. I don't think that there is any other possibility. To perform better than when you have that kind of support, but then we had to respond, and we had moments in the first half where we did it and there were other moments that we weren’t on our level. So then we have to apologise to them and improve for sure.”

#WATCH | New York, USA: On Summit of the Future at the UN Headquarters in New York, Former UN President, Maria Fernanda Espinosa, says "I think the Summit of the Future is the outcome of a long process and the collective political will of seeing the UN strengthen its power, delivery capacity, adapt itself to the challenges of the 21st century. I think that some say that it's one in a lifetime opportunity to agree, discuss, and commit to build a better UN. I think that the UN has done a lot of good to the world, prevented many conflicts, provided life-saving support to refugees, to victims of war and an endless list of the good things that the UN has done, but we are living a different reality than 80 years ago, the time has come for a UN refurbishing, retooling, rejuvenating in the opportunities now. We are confident that we will have a strong pact of the future that will put women and gender equality at the centre and that looks at the UN as this very complex ecosystem that is human-made. Therefore, the improvements and the reforms also need to be led by humans, societies and not only governments but societies as a whole. We have to say that member states also have provided a central space to the negotiations and discussions of the pact, Global Digital Compact and the Declaration of Future Generations, which is a single package and we are very much looking forward to seeing the Summit of the Future commit not only to the pact but to the implementation of the actions that are embedded in the pact."

Yes. And this is not a new idea but one that I have been consistent on for a long time. The clip below is from one of my Youtube videos that was shared on my Youtube channel 9 months ago- back when Bitcoin was trading just under 100k and many were saying that the "cycle top was in". In this sub 2 minute clip I break down my expectations if the top WAS in (I also said I didn't believe this to be the case) and shared why even if our top was in I would still expect our massive alt season. Of course, our top was in fact NOT in, and we went on to make a fresh impulse off the 74k level. That being said, the same logic I applied at that time can be applied to today's situation if we were to assume once again that the top is already in (and again, I don't believe it is). Bottom line- whether the top is in or not- it doesn't change the fact that the best is yet to come for alts as I have repeated for years now that the biggest alt season will come post $BTC top, whether that is NOW or after $BTC climbs higher, somewhere above 150k+ (which is my expectation as long as 74k is not breached).

#WATCH | Delhi: Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra says, "We used to say that we are world leaders. We used to say that we are peacemakers. Whether it's the war in Ukraine or the situation today, we should think about it." On the Transgender bill, she says, "I really think that it's unfortunate that they are not sending it to the standing committee. What the community feels is that this bill is going to obliterate their identity, and therefore it was very, very important that they should have been consulted and that this bill that is being brought about should have taken place or should have been passed after proper consultation. I think it's very unfair that the entire community feels like they have not been consulted, and such a big decision is being taken in their context. I wish the government had listened and put it on the standing committee."

Jamaica, I pledge we will never return to the dark days of economic chaos. Stability was never our destination—it was the foundation for the future we’re building together. Now, we are entering a new chapter: creating growth that benefits everyone, where every Jamaican can see their dreams become reality. We’ve worked too hard and sacrificed too much to turn back now. Fiscal discipline is part of who we are, and while our progress is remarkable, we must grow faster to reach our full potential. Climate challenges, like Hurricane Beryl, have set us back, but we have proven time and again that Jamaica bounces back stronger from every challenge. Our focus now is recovery, resilience, and real opportunities for all.

I know where his [General Yoweri Museveni support is, it is not 71% it is not even 50%, and he knows it too." 2. "I am on record before and after the elections for having spoken out. I went out of my way and wrote to every political party in the opposition, warning and inviting them for a commonality of purpose...Immediately after the elections, I held a press conference spoke about the same issues, I had warned colleagues about that we never cared about and they happened. So, I feel that I am vindicated to the fact that I raised the alarm. Those who didn’t care, there is no much I could do to drag them." 3. "Also I could have raised the challenge about that election in the supreme court, but I was not a presidential candidate and I did not have permission to raise the same on behalf of any candidate. Remember that in one of the amendments that I had intended in the presidential elections act probably out of ignorance or excitement, was to amend the law to the fact that a citizen can challenge the election in a supreme court as long as that citizen is a voter and there is a proof that his challenge is not a waste of court’s time. I had intended that when that happens when presidential candidates are either compromised or timid, a courageous citizen can challenge that election. That didn’t happen, and the opportunity was lost." 4. "What have I done as DF? The DF is is going to challenge particular actions leading to that election and our petition to the Constitutional court is ready, if you want to know how we have moved and that we are not sleeping as the DF." #RealChangeActNow

Listen to JD Vance finally acknowledge that the inflation crisis in America is real and that he and Trump have a lot of work to do. "Well, I guess my message to Americans is we know that we have a lot of work to do in order to deliver on the prosperity that the American people deserve. The President is hyper-aware of this. I'm hyper-aware of this. We talk about it all the time. We know that the American people inherited a very bad inflation crisis. Yes, the inflation number last month was not great."

In the past week Clint Russell asked Bret Weinstein how he would grade Trump, now that Bret voted for him for the first time in the 2024 election. Here is Bret's response: "I am confused by what I see... I am completely comfortable with having voted for Trump. It was my first time because of the apocalypse that was represented by the blue ticket. And so I just don't think there was any rational choice. We had an absolute emergency on our hands and this simple ability to vote for something that was in some way authentic made it the only game in town. Now, as for what is transpiring under the Trump administration, I am aware that there is a labyrinth of power and a hidden priority list. The administration presumably has things it wants to accomplish. The labyrinth of power sets the ground rules as to what can be accomplished at what rate and in exchange for what, I know I'm not privy to that. And so the real question is how does the stack up compared to what was possible given the cards that president Trump held on inauguration? And I don't think any of us are in a position to answer that. So, you know, is the disappointment the result of the fact that the constraints on the president are greater than we hoped and maybe imagined? Are they the result of the priorities not being the represented priorities? Undoubtedly that plays some role. But, you know, again, in light of what was, you know, we had President Biden was not the president in the meaningful sense. To have attempted to run him again. And then at the point that that became implausible, to swap in an empty shirt is such a dire commentary on the state of the Republic that I think every conversation about how the Trump administration is doing has to begin with the fact that there was no alternative."

Now, as for what is transpiring under the Trump administration, I am aware that there is a labyrinth of power and a hidden priority list. The administration presumably has things it wants to accomplish. The labyrinth of power sets the ground rules as to what can be accomplished at what rate and in exchange for what, I know I'm not privy to that. And so the real question is how does the stack up compared to what was possible given the cards that president Trump held on inauguration? And I don't think any of us are in a position to answer that. So, you know, is the disappointment the result of the fact that the constraints on the president are greater than we hoped and maybe imagined? Are they the result of the priorities not being the represented priorities? Undoubtedly that plays some role. But, you know, again, in light of what was, you know, we had President Biden was not the president in the meaningful sense. To have attempted to run him again. And then at the point that that became implausible, to swap in an empty shirt is such a dire commentary on the state of the Republic that I think every conversation about how the Trump administration is doing has to begin with the fact that there was no alternative."

Only men do not want to agree to that. "I think that the United States needs to be more like China because China is the safest country I have ever been to in my entire life, and it is because of the amount of surveillance that they have. Everybody always likes to talk about how China is so scary because of their surveillance. No, that is literally why it is so safe. That is why I can travel here as a woman by myself. I've been to over 50 countries, and I can confidently say that I feel more safe as a woman because of the security that is in place in this country.”
