Note: According to Neil Postman, our society has become saturated with information, leading to a state of meaningless abundance where we are unable to discern what is truly significant or irrelevant, resulting in a lack of understanding about what matters most. This glut of information can ultimately lead to a disorientation and disconnection from the world around us, causing us to lose touch with meaningful experiences and relationships.

Axios.
The stakes of the President's trade war with China and the possibility of another one in North America are going to go up. It breaks a pattern of head fakes that Wall Street and businesses large and small had hoped would continue. Financial market jitters and bearish anecdotes from manufacturers were not enough to stave off the levies. Trump will impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico and double the import tax on Chinese goods, but there is no indication of how long the measures will last. Even before the new tariffs took effect, trade tensions were rattling the economy. Many businesses are waiting for the White House to make a decision on trade policy. Customers are pausing on new orders as a result of uncertainty regarding tariffs, according to one manufacturer. It's difficult to project how they will affect business because there is no clear direction from the administration....

Trump-Zelenskyy brawl could bring peace deal closer.
The real tragedy following the meeting with Presidents Trump and Zelenskyy and Vice President Vance is that so many people are still working hard to keep the peace. Why? They hate President Trump more than they love peace. The spat between Trump and Zelenskyy has brought European leaders to the table, which could lead to a peace deal. Trump's critics don't see it that way. They blame the president for the break up. Is the UKRAINE MINERALS deal going to happen?

Why does President Trump care so much about the Iron Dome?
Do not assume this is nothing. The Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defense Force, Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi, wrote to himself on a notepad in preparation for a status call according to Israeli reporter Nadav Eyal. The call was triggered by reports of unusual activity in the early morning hours of the day that Hamas would invade across the southern border of Israel, massacring nearly 1,200 people, kidnapping more than 250 and taking them back into Gaza, and injuring approximately 5,000. Three hours before sirens sounded in the Israeli-Gaza border communities of Nahal Oz, Ofakim, Kfar Aza, Nir Oz, Kissufim, and Be'eri, the head of the IDF wrote on his notepad. The sort of alert that would have positioned the IDF to destroy the Hamas forces before they killed and kidnapped was not triggered by the call with Halevi. The first report into the events of that terrible day was released by the IDF. The report from the IDF is the product of 80 different investigations into the actions of the IDF on that day. This is not the "whole of government and the nation" inquiry which will come down the road after the war is over....

Fox News Digital spoke to two political analysts about where President Trump stands with the American public on some of the top issues ahead of his address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night. Rob Bluey, president and executive editor of the Daily Signal, gave Trump grades of A-F on some of the top issues he is expected to touch on in his speech.

New York prison guards were fired for ignoring a deal to end the strike.
State prison guards in New York have been fired for failing to abide by a deal to end their illegal labor strike. The state's homeland security commissioner said on Monday that the state began canceling health insurance benefits for correctional officers who are still on strike. According to Bray, fewer than 10 officers have been fired and thousands are going to lose their health insurance benefits. "None of these actions are taken lightly," Bray said. We've tried everything to get people back to work. New York inmates are being held in PRISON as guards continue to strike illegal immigrants under state law. Kathy Hochul announced an agreement between the state and officers' union. The labor action violates a state law prohibiting strikes by most public employees and officers were required to return to work by Saturday to avoid being disciplined....

The doctor was invited to the congressional address by the DOJ.
A Texas surgeon indicted by the Biden Justice Department for blowing the whistle on trans medicine has been invited to attend President Donald Trump's address to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night. After staring down the threat of a decade-long prison sentence, Dr. Eithan Haim called the feeling "indescribable". Haim told "Fox & Friends First" that it was hard to wrap into words. The Department of Justice dropped the case against the Texas doctor after he was invited to be a guest of a senator. One minute I'm facing 10 years in prison for a crime that was completely fabricated by the Department of Justice and the next minute, I'm invited by one of the most prominent conservative senators to the State of the Union. I would say it's amazing. Haim was the subject of an ongoing criminal case brought by the DOJ after he leaked documents to the media that revealed Texas Children's Hospital in Houston was performing trans medical procedures. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton ruled that sex- change surgeries and puberty blockers constituted child abuse and hospital leadership stopped providing them....

Alternative Media Insights
Note: As we venture into the realm of alternative media reporting, it is essential to acknowledge that not all sources are created equal. While some outlets offer crucial counter-narratives and insights, others pose a significant risk of misinformation, perpetuating controlled opposition or serving as wolves in sheep's clothing, intent on misleading their audience with agendas designed to confuse rather than inform.

I find it necessary to seek mental and physical refuge amidst the ongoing madness of power struggles, wars, media psyops, threats of new pandemics, false flags, floods, earthquakes and fires. Our physical and mental strength is our greatest contribution to the Great Awakening. Maintaining healthy habits is more important than being informed. Keeping a balanced approach to life, where we nurture our mind, our body and our soul, is not easy these days, I have to work out how to feed all aspects of my being. My children and family are the most important source of soul fuel for me; they are a daily source of love and joy and they keep me grounded and motivated to keep going.

No one is coming to save us, it is up to us to make ourselves healthy again. It all comes down to one question: Is it safer to get the vaccine or not? The answer is clear. The data shows that more deaths and injuries have resulted from the Measles vaccine than from the Measles vaccine. In the past 20 years, only three deaths have been attributed to the disease, while the toll from the vaccine is much higher. We are facing a vaccine injury crisis that is almost beyond imagination.
