The Federalist: The Propaganda Press Got It Wrong About The Economy — Again
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) report indicates a 3.4% year-over-year inflation rise in April, the lowest since February 2021.

Critics of the previous administration's policies have been quick to promote alarmist views, yet the latest figures contradict those predictions. The ongoing media narrative of impending crisis appears increasingly disconnected from the actual economic data.

Le Monde: South Africa attempts to restrict firearms use
In South Africa, new regulations proposed by the Minister of Police aim to restrict firearm use by private security companies, which outnumber police officers significantly. The legislation would ban firearms in public spaces and limit semi-automatic rifles to specific situations.
