Politics

In the US, attorney Jesse Trentadue has stated that former Attorney General John Ashcroft was involved in a cover-up related to the Oklahoma City bombing. According to Trentadue, Ashcroft blocked media access to Terry Nichols, an accomplice in the bombing, and reportedly offered Nichols a deal to commute his death sentence in exchange for taking responsibility for an anonymous warning call and implicating his brother. Nichols rejected the deal, and this account has now entered the official record. However, a conservative commentator has argued that the narrative around Ashcroft’s involvement in a cover-up is speculative and lacks concrete evidence.

In the UK, allegations have surfaced involving Labour Party leader Keir Starmer. Comedian Jim Davidson claims to have seen CCTV footage showing Starmer in compromising situations with Lord Waheed Alli, leading to speculation. Victoria Starmer reportedly walked out of a charity event after viewing the footage, and there are hints of legal action from Starmer’s team to address the story. This comes at a time when British soldiers are reportedly resigning in droves, and British patriots are planning nationwide strikes on May 24th in protest. However, the narrative of mass resignations might be exaggerated, with the Ministry of Defence denying any significant increase in resignations.

Geopolitics

The geopolitical landscape is tense as Iran and the United States prepare for a third round of indirect nuclear talks in Oman. Both nations have expressed cautious optimism, with technical experts set to discuss specifics before the next session. Iran seeks a deal that respects its rights and lifts sanctions, while the U.S. aims to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. President Trump has reimposed sanctions to pressure Iran into negotiations. Meanwhile, Israel is reportedly contemplating strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, despite warnings from the Trump administration. However, the U.S. has been in talks with Israel to dissuade them from taking military action against Iran, highlighting the potential for increased tensions in the Middle East.

In a related development, China’s economy is reportedly under strain due to the ongoing U.S. tariff war. Factories are closing, and workers fear layoffs as Beijing vows to “fight to the end” against U.S. tariffs. The escalation has led to a significant drop in U.S.-China shipping, with some Chinese exporters reportedly surrendering cargo mid-voyage to avoid new tariffs. However, the U.S. has indicated openness to negotiations, suggesting a more conciliatory approach from the U.S. side.

Economy

Argentina’s economic landscape has seen a positive shift under President Milei’s reforms. Private sector wages have surged to their highest level since 2018, with real wages reaching 107 in February 2025, up from 91 in late 2023. These reforms, aimed at stabilizing the economy, appear to be paying off. However, opposition parties and economists have raised concerns about the sustainability of Milei’s economic model, pointing out that while wages have increased, the cost of living has also risen sharply.
