Senator Josh Hawley’s recent attack on Netflix, claiming half its kids’ content pushes a „transgender ideology,” is a manufactured moral panic. This disinformation, sourced from a Heritage Foundation „study,” is a thinly veiled effort to derail Netflix’s merger plans. The real goal is to clear a path for Trump-aligned billionaire Larry Ellison to acquire major media assets like CNN and HBO, advancing a project to build a pro-MAGA state television apparatus. This cynical playbook, mirroring authoritarian media consolidation abroad, uses culture war hysterics to mask a ruthless power grab.

While Buffett has defied this forecast for decades, the current scale may present the very growth wall he foresaw.

Facing potential loss of power after 16 years, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán frames the April election as a stark choice between „war or peace,” accusing opponents of dragging the nation into the Ukraine conflict. His nationalist Fidesz party amplifies this message through state media and nationwide billboards depicting opposition leader Péter Magyar acquiescing to EU and Ukrainian demands. With the economy stagnant and EU funds blocked, Orbán’s campaign pivots to security, while challenger Magyar’s Tisza party focuses on corruption and cost-of-living issues, leading in polls but navigating cautiously on Ukraine.

President Trump threatens to block the new Gordie Howe International Bridge, siding with a billionaire’s monopoly over public economic benefit. His baseless demands ignore the bridge’s fair ownership split and proven use of American materials. This move exemplifies Trump’s rent-seeking economics, prioritizing a single oligarch’s profits over millions of consumers and businesses. The bridge, fully funded by Canada, promises billions in savings and enhanced trade, now jeopardized by Trump’s corrupt intervention.
