The U.S. Navy's largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, has been deployed to the Caribbean, fueling concerns over a potential military escalation in the region. While the exact military objectives remain unclear, this large-scale buildup of U.S. naval forces in the vicinity of Venezuela has drawn significant attention. A Growing Presence On October 26, 2025, the USS Gerald R. Ford, the largest aircraft carrier in the world, departed from the Croatian port of Split. This move followed an order from Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, directing the ship to head to the Caribbean as part of a massive, unexplained military presence in the region. By early October, more than 10% of the U.S. Navy's deployed assets were stationed in the area overseen by the Pentagon's Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), which manages operations across Central and South America. This raises the question: Is the United States preparing for conflict with Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro? The Campa...

In a shocking paradox, social critic David Brooks argues that America’s educated elite, despite their good intentions, are largely responsible for creating the very system that birthed figures like Donald Trump. According to Brooks, the elites built a society so broken and isolating that it sparked a populist rage which is now tearing the country apart. But how did these well-intentioned individuals get it so catastrophically wrong? The Myth of Meritocracy We’ve all heard it before: the ultimate American dream is that if you work hard, you'll succeed. The smartest individuals rise to the top, benefiting everyone. This is what we call a meritocracy. But what if this isn't true? What if the people at the top wrote the rules of the game to ensure they would always win? David Brooks contends that the modern meritocracy is actually a resentment-generating machine. The system, he argues, reduces human worth to academic success—specifically, school smarts. But school smarts and li...

Arthur Hayes, the former CEO of BitMEX and a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency space, recently shared his thoughts on the future of Bitcoin. Hayes believes that if Donald Trump regains control over the Federal Reserve (Fed), the resulting economic shifts could send Bitcoin’s value soaring. But what exactly makes Hayes so confident about this connection between Trump’s influence and Bitcoin’s potential growth?

This could erode the value of the US dollar, making Bitcoin an attractive alternative. Impact on the Dollar...
