AndreyPopov/iStock via Getty Images Investors are heading into a pivotal week for global monetary policy, with the world’s leading central banks set to deliver interest-rate decisions against the backdrop of rising geopolitical tensions and renewed inflation concerns, Bloomberg News reported Sunday. The Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, Bank of Japan, Bank of England and Bank of Canada are all scheduled to meet, creating a rare moment when every Group of Seven central bank is simultaneously weighing policy for economies that collectively represent roughly half of global output. Markets broadly expect officials to leave rates unchanged, but attention will focus on how policymakers describe inflation risks tied to the U.S.-Iran conflict and higher energy prices. Any indication that central bankers are prepared to maintain restrictive policy for longer, or even tighten further, could pressure government bonds. Sovereign debt has lagged equities and credit markets in recent weeks as investors largely looked through the conflict and continued buying risk assets. Amy Xie Patrick of Pendal Group said policymakers have little downside in sounding firm on inflation now, particularly given the uncertain outlook for oil prices and broader price pressures. She said she has removed duration exposure from her portfolio this month. Bond markets have remained unusually calm despite the geopolitical backdrop. Yields on short-dated notes in major markets have stayed relatively elevated, while day-to-day moves in one- to three-year maturities have been smaller than in March. Some investors believe that calm could end if policymakers adopt a more forceful tone this week. Stephen Miller, formerly of BlackRock in Australia and now a consultant at GSFM, said central banks remain wary of underestimating inflation after the policy mistakes made during the pandemic, when many officials initially described price pressures as temporary. In the United Kingdom, Bank of England officials ha...
Will the Left Make The WHCA Dinner Shooter A Hero?

Will the Left Make The WHCA Dinner Shooter A Hero? There was a lot of confusion in the initial hours after the shooting at the White House Correspondents Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton on Saturday night. But it soon became clear that the suspect, Cole Allen, a 31-year-old teacher from Torrance, California, had rabid anti-Trump views and was there to target Trump administration officials. While the usual suspects on the left are issuing standard statements condemning violence, there’s a real concern that the left will lionize Allen. And even former Obama official and current CNN pundit Van Jones is concerned about it. " I'm starting to worry about something ,” Jones said. “ Which is that the shooter survived, which means on Monday he's going to court, which means there is a danger that people try to make him some sort of hero. " He wasn't being paranoid. He was being prescient. And he didn't stop there. " You watch what happened with Luigi, who shot a CEO to death, and somehow became a hero ," Jones continued. " So, they said tonight you saw the worst of America. You saw the best of America. Tonight, you definitely saw the best of America. I hope on Monday we don’t see the worst again. I just want to say very clearly — this kind of despicable behavior has no place in America. It has no place on the right. It has no place on the left.” He added, “This kind of behavior has no place in America. And it is wrong. Violence is not the way to resolve any grievances. And this cheerleader culture for violence, for people who think that the answer to our problems is to go shooting billionaires or going to synagogues or all these different things, has to be called out immediately. The minute it starts, every single person with the platform must denounce it, or we’re going to see this again.” CNN Van Jones actually gets things right regarding the WHCD shooter. pic.twitter.com/wySCKHz5hv — Scott Adams (@scottadamsshow) April 26, 2026 When Luigi Mangione was arrested i...

The current season has become a meme-war without end, an endless rolling wall of gloat and taunt in which players and managers must try to block out the noise In his new book, Saved, Gianluigi Buffon talks about feeling crushed by nerves even at the peak of his playing career. The day before the 2006 World Cup final Buffon and Gennaro Gattuso walked past the French squad after training and were immediately sent into a tailspin by their opponents’ intimidating size and athleticism. “We don’t stand a chance,” Gattuso joked, not actually joking. Buffon spent most of the night smoking in the hotel corridor with half the Italy team. At breakfast nobody could speak. They turned up at the stadium already feeling exhausted. Continue reading...

'Gender Identity' Requirements Will Be Discarded In Housing Programs: HUD Authored by Naveen Athrappully via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner announced a new proposed rule on Thursday that seeks to end the use of “gender identity” across all departmental programs, which is intended to “restore biological reality and protect women.” Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner walks towards the West Wing following a TV interview at the White House on Feb. 19, 2025. Manuel Balce Ceneta/AP Photo “Under the proposed guidance, HUD would remove radical definitions of gender identity, sexual orientation, and gender, replacing them with sex across nearly 50 regulations,” HUD said in an April 23 statement. The department’s Equal Access Rule will be modified to replace the ban on discrimination on the basis of “gender identity” across all Community Planning and Development programs. HUD intends to define common terms such as mother, father, woman, man, girl, and boy, in a way that is consistent with a person’s sex across the department’s regulations. “ God created two sexes: male and female. The Left’s war on biological reality through radical gender ideology will no longer take precedence over the safety and security of America’s most vulnerable women,” Turner said. The 2012 Equal Access Rule, titled Equal Access to Housing in HUD Programs Regardless of Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity, sought to ensure that HUD’s housing programs would be made available to all individuals and families regardless of their gender identity, sexual orientation, or marital status. At the time, the rule did not address how transgender identifying and “gender non-conforming” individuals should be accommodated in certain temporary and emergency shelters, and other facilities used for this purpose. In 2016, another final rule was issued on this regulation addressing the matter. The recent proposal builds on an orde...
