Trump’s return to the White House seemed unlikely when he left Washington in early 2021 as a diminished figure whose lies about his defeat sparked a violent insurrection at the U.S. He was so isolated at the time that few outside of his family bothered to attend the send-off he organized for himself at Andrews Air Force Base, complete with a 21-gun salute. He has plans to swiftly enact a sweeping agenda that would transform nearly every aspect of American government. The U.S. Supreme Court, which includes three Trump-appointed justices, issued a ruling earlier this year affording presidents broad immunity from prosecution. In his second term, Trump has vowed to pursue an agenda centered on dramatically reshaping the federal government and pursuing retribution against his perceived enemies. “I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president,” Trump told throngs of cheering supporters in Florida even before his victory was confirmed. He attacked his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, in deeply personal – often misogynistic and racist – terms as he pushed an apocalyptic picture of a country overrun by violent migrants.

Zambia’s New Mining Strategy to Focus Only on Future Projects

By integrating art into their public health messaging, the initiative goes beyond conventional campaigns, reaching people on an emotional level. The Ministry believes that by making these messages relatable, more men will feel encouraged to engage in conversations about their health and responsibilities as fathers. This approach has shown effectiveness in normalizing vasectomy as a responsible family planning option, challenging the notion that reproductive health is solely a woman’s responsibility. The Ministry’s endorsement of this initiative signals a progressive stance on gender roles, highlighting that male involvement in reproductive health is key to building healthier communities and equitable family partnerships. The partnership between World Vasectomy Day Zambia and artists has helped foster an environment of openness and understanding, encouraging fresh perspectives on fatherhood and male involvement in family planning. By supporting this initiative, the Ministry signals its commitment to promoting gender equality and innovative approaches to public health messaging.

Trump’s language and behavior during the campaign sparked growing warnings from Democrats and some Republicans about shocks to democracy that his return to power would bring. He repeatedly praised strongman leaders, warned that he would deploy the military to target political opponents he labeled the “enemy from within,” threatened to take action against news organizations for unfavorable coverage and suggested suspending the Constitution. Trump is the first former president to return to power since Grover Cleveland regained the White House in the 1892 election. He is the first person convicted of a felony to be elected president and, at 78, is the oldest person elected to the office. His vice president, 40-year-old Ohio Sen. JD Vance, will become the highest-ranking member of the millennial generation in the U.S. government. PF has over-exposed the country to a mountain of debt that will outlive generations to come.

Investors are overwhelmingly betting that the Fed will cut by a quarter point at its next policy meeting on November 6-7, according to the futures market. Friday’s shockingly robust jobs report for September shows the Federal Reserve may not need to deliver another supersized interest rate cut next month.

Stocks futures rose Friday morning as Wall Street parsed the stunningly strong September labor report.

It helped make famous the singers Mistinguett and Édith Piaf and the painter Toulouse-Lautrec, who made posters for the venue. In 1911, the dance hall Olympia Paris invented the grand staircase as a settling for its shows, competing with its great rival, the Folies Bergère. Later, Olympia Paris presented Dalida, Edith Piaf, Marlene Dietrich, Miles Davis, Judy Garland and the Grateful Dead. The most prestigious sculptors who made their reputation in Paris in the modern era are Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi (Statue of Liberty), Auguste Rodin, Camille Claudel, Antoine Bourdelle, Paul Landowski (statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro) and Aristide Maillol.

Real estate investor Grant Cardone says he believes the Federal Reserve will make historic rate cuts over the next year after President-elect Trump’s win. “Looking ahead, we expect claims to shoot up over coming weeks, perhaps to a peak of about 250K in the week ending October 12,” according to the Pantheon note.

Off significance to this conversation, UPND leader, Hakainde Hichilema (HH) served time in Lilayi prison on a laughable treason charge – this at the hands of the current PF regime. For a fact, HH has never hidden his disdain for President Edgar Lungu and his stint in a tiny Lilayi prison cell has probably served to reinforce the UPND leader’s contempt for the President. The irony for Chiluba is that his handpicked successor, Levy Mwanawasa motivated Parliament to waive off the latter’s immunity thereby exposing Chiluba to several graft charges formulated by the now defunct Task Force on Corruption. With his legacy tainted by a skewed narrative, only death saved Chiluba from possible jail time. To erase his predecessor’s legacy and ensure his humiliation, the late Sata’s PF re-created this trend by consigning Rupiah to a life of court appearances.
