Whores for Whores: Prostitutes ‘Completely Booked’ Near Davos as Elites Attend World Economic Forum.

High-end prostitution services are “completely booked” in eastern Switzerland as global elites descend on the Alpine resort town of Davos for the World Economic Forum (WEF) summit.

An invitation-only event run by Klaus Schwab, this year’s summit is hosting the likes of President Emmanuel Macron of France, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.

While summit attendees are ostensibly focused on achieving lofty goals related to climate change, net-zero, and censoring speech for the greater good, the brisk trade done by escort service ‘Titt4Tat’ suggests many have ulterior motives.

“All local service providers are completely booked during the WEF week,” said service owner B. Konrad.

The escort “services” do not come cheap: one reported a typical booking “takes between four and twelve hours,” with the longer sessions costing around 2,000 Swiss francs (~$2,300).

Konrad said some women sign up as escorts in hopes their elite customers might open the door to a new career for them.

“An escort from Germany recently reported that she got a new job as a consultant for a large company through her contacts at the WEF,” he said.

Ron DeSantis’s ‘Never Back Down’ PAC Lays Off Staff.

Never Back Down, the super PAC supporting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign, began staff layoffs on Wednesday. An official at the PAC revealed that those laid off will be paid through January, but the extent of the layoffs is currently unknown.

According to George Andrews, a Never Back Down employee who was let go on Wednesday, budget cuts were responsible. “As of 6 am this morning, I learned I am now a free agent due to budget cuts beyond my control,” Andrews wrote in a post on LinkedIn.

The layoffs follow DeSantis’s resounding defeat to former President Donald Trump in the Iowa caucuses. Though DeSantis came in second place, he trailed Trump by a margin of 30 points. An official who spoke to the New York Times off the record said the PAC was “evaluating and paring down” other consultants, vendors, and staff members.

Despite the layoffs, Never Back Down CEO Scott Wagner released a statement insisting that the PAC will continue to work to get DeSantis elected.

“Never Back Down continues to host a slew of events on the ground for Gov. DeSantis in South Carolina, New Hampshire, and beyond aligned with our core mission of mobilizing grass-roots field operations in those states,” Wagner said. “We’ve mobilized several members of our robust Iowa team over to the other early primary states to help in these efforts and will continue working to help elect Gov. DeSantis, the most effective conservative leader in the race, our next President.”

IBM CEO: ‘Either Embrace AI Or Lose Your Job.

IBM CEO Arvind Krishna told attendees at the 2024 World Economic Forum’s annual meeting that companies and nations who embrace artificial intelligence (AI) “are going to be advantaged forever.” For those who don’t embrace AI, Krishna warned, “you’re going to find that you may not have a job.”

The Indian-American technology executive took over as CEO of IBM in 2020 and was named chairman in January 2021. “Artificial intelligence, today’s form, is going to generate $4 trillion of annual productivity before the end of the decade,” Krishna said. Despite evidence to the contrary — and his own warning — he insisted that the increase in productivity would not be in the form of “job displacement.”

U.S. policy regarding AI is increasingly a concern to voters and government officials alike. Former President Donald Trump warned recently that the technology could be “very dangerous for our country” in a post on Truth Social. He pointed to the use of fake — but incredibly realistic — images generated by AI tools which could be used to influence U.S. elections.

AI’s military and commercial applications also pose a potential existential threat to U.S. interests. The National Pulse reported that the Pentagon supplied Song-Chun Zhu — an AI specialist who works with the Chinese Communist Party – with $30 million in federal grants. Zhu described the AI technology race as the “equivalent to [developing] the ‘atomic bomb’ in the information technology field.”

Former President Barack Obama has overseen AI policy in the Biden government. The former President met with Big Tech and West Wing officials over Zoom on behalf of the 80-year-old incumbent as he was piecing together an executive order on AI. The order lays the groundwork for federal oversight and funding for the technology and a slew of government hirings related to it.

‘Rust’ Movie Set Armorer Offered Leniency for Explanation of Live Rounds in Alec Baldwin Gun.

The armorer at the center of the “Rust” film shooting case, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was reportedly sent an ultimatum via email by special prosecutor Kari Morrissey in September, offering her leniency if she disclosed how live rounds made it on to the set — and promising additional felony charges if she didn’t.

“I feel very strongly [Gutierrez-Reed] has some notion of how the live rounds came on set,” Morrissey wrote in an email published by Variety. “I certainly respect her right not to come forward with that information and to stay silent, however if she were to come forward and answer some of these questions that plague the victims in this case that would go a long way toward getting her a favorable resolution,” Morrissey’s email continued. “If she chooses not to, while I respect her decision, I will proceed with the additional felony charges we spoke of.”

Gutierrez-Reed did not take that prosecutor’s “deal.” Her lawyer, Jason Bowles, took the letter as a threat to “either falsely confess to bringing the live rounds on set, or face additional charges,” reports Variety. In response, Morrissey kept her word and leveled more charges against Gutierrez-Reed, including a 4th-degree felony charge for allegedly carrying a gun into a liquor store.

Gutierrez-Reed pleaded not guilty to the new charges. Her trial is expected to begin in February. Gutierrez-Reed was in charge of the weapons on set during the filming of “Rust.” On October 21, 2021, Alec Baldwin, star of the film, discharged his “prop” firearm, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza.

CCP Scientists Submitted COVID Sequence to Database Weeks Before Admitting They Had One, Then Deleted It.

Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime scientists had access to a SARS-CoV-2 sequence weeks before they handed one over to the United Nations (UN), according to documents uncovered by House Energy and Commerce Committee Republicans. The sequence was even submitted to a U.S. database, but it was deleted when U.S. officials began asking questions about it.

Dr. Lili Ren, working for a pathogen research institute attached to the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, submitted a sequence for SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID, to the U.S. National National Institutes of Health (NIH) database GenBank on December 28th, 2019.

Not until January 11th, 2020, was a sequence for the villy published; however, when China submitted the information to the UN’s World Health Organization (WHO). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says the WHO sequence was in the hands of the Chinese version of the CDC by January 5th but was not shared with scientists overseas.

Ren’s earlier, unpublished sequence “was nearly identical” to the one given to the WHO weeks later, Health and Human Services (HHS) Assistant Secretary for Legislation Melanie Egorin told the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

The Chinese researcher ignored the NIH when asked for further details on the December sequence; however, it was quietly deleted from the GenBank database on January 16th.

Committee Chairwoman Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers said the findings prove the U.S. “cannot trust any of the so-called ‘facts’ or data provided by the CCP and calls into serious question the legitimacy of any scientific theories based on such information.”

Ren is attached to U.S.-funded coronavirus projects led by EcoHealth Alliance. EcoHealth Alliance leader Peter Daszak has links to Anthony Fauci and is still using U.S. funding to experiment with exotic viruses from bats and other animals.

BlackRock Chief: 2nd Trump Term Pushes Europe Away from Dependency on US or China.

Philipp Hildebrand, vice chairman of the nine-trillion-dollar asset management firm BlackRock, says Donald Trump’s reelection in 2024 could help the European Union learn to stand on its own feet.

Hildebrand made the remarks at the World Economic Forum (WEF) summit in Davos, Switzerland, when asked if he agreed with European Central Bank (ECB) chief Christine Lagarde that Trump is “clearly a threat” to the EU.

“Christine speaks for herself. I think the flip side of it is that this is perhaps also a wake-up call for Europe,” said Hildebrand, suggesting a second Trump administration might prompt the EU to decide whether it wants “to be a kind of independent sovereign” or to have “great dependencies, whether on China or on the U.S.”

“I see it as an opportunity for the construction of Europe,” he continued. “Clearly, if [Trump’s election] were to lead to a rupture, which I think is what President Lagarde has in mind as a risk, then that would challenge Europe fundamentally.”

He was particularly critical of the EU’s weakness in the field of defense, despite having a significantly larger combined economy and population than the U.S.

E Jean Carroll Admits She Told Trump Stories Because Her ‘Book Was Not Selling,’ Confirms George Conway Convinced Her to Sue.

Bizarro advice columnist and rape fantasist E Jean Carroll has admitted that former husband to Kelly Anne Conway, George Conway, convinced her to sue President Donald J. Trump following a meeting at a party hosted by far-left columnist Molly Jong-Fast. The claim, now confirmed by Carroll, was initially reported in April 2023.

In addition to Carroll’s admission over the far-left plot against Trump, she also disclosed under questioning by her own counsel that she told friends and colleagues she was okay, despite the President’s denials over sexually abusing her in a Bergdorf Goodman changing room in the mid-90s. When questioned about her upbeat demeanor, she responded in court on Wednesday: “That’s the public E. Jean.”

She is now seeking further damages from President Trump for his continuing insistence that her story – oddly similar to a plotline from the TV show Law and Order – never happened.

During the questioning, Carroll also let slip that she embarked upon a media tour about her story about the 45th President because “journalists wanted to hear about President Trump.” She added: “I saw that the book was not selling, so I tried to talk about it.”

DATA: Trump’s Great Turnaround With College-Educated Voters.

Former President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign has seen a marked turn-around among college-educated voters who arguably cost Trump critical votes in swing states in 2020. New data indicates Trump’s surging popularity amongst college-educated voters is mainly driven by voter opinion that Trump is the better-suited candidate to revive the U.S. economy and put an end to the illegal immigration crisis at the U.S. southern border.

In 2021, over 75 percent of college-educated Republicans said they wanted a candidate other than Trump to run in 2024. By the start of this year, Trump’s negative trend among college-educated Republicans had reversed entirely. An early January Suffolk University/USA poll found about 60 percent of Republican college-educated voters now support Trump for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Entrance polls conducted by CNN during the 2024 Iowa Republican Caucus found former President Trump had made a 16-point gain among college-educated voters compared to 2016’s entrance polling.

Nearly three years of President Joe Biden’s radical left-wing government have led college-educated voters to reconsider Trump. University New Hampshire professor of political science Dante Scala emphasized the importance of voters being able to compare presidential administrations in a recent interview, saying: “I think issues that we hear … immigration, the economy, inflation, all those things I think leads a lot of those voters to say, ‘You know, things were actually pretty good during that Trump presidency. Can we go back to that?’”

Prof. Scala points to the perceived weakness and inaction of the Biden government both at home and abroad as a key drive behind Trump’s recovery among college-educated voters. “I think a lot of college-educated Republicans say, ‘Yeah, he tweeted too much, he was out of control sometimes, but there was strength there,” Scala said.

NYT: New Hampshire is ‘High Water Mark’ for Haley, Who ‘Can’t Win’ Due to Positions on Immigration, Social Security, and Foreign Wars.

On Wednesday, the New York Times opinion page admitted the political reality for ex-South Carolina Governor Nimrata ‘Nikki’ Haley: she lacks a realistic path to victory for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

“But even if Ms. Haley does well in New Hampshire, it won’t matter,” Damon Linker writes, adding: “That’s because Ms. Haley is starkly out of step with the evolution of her party over the past decade.”

Former President Donald Trump’s appeal among non-college-educated voters poses an insurmountable hurdle for Haley, according to the Linker, a senior lecturer in the department of political science at the University of Pennsylvania. These voters have “grown weary of candidates emphasizing cuts to entitlements and taxes on the wealthy while also favoring liberal rates of immigration, free-trade agreements that resulted in manufacturing jobs being shipped abroad.”

Haley’s vocal support for raising the retirement age, slashing social security, and cutting other entitlements has been a persistent point of criticism against the former South Carolina Governor on the campaign trail. Her embrace of U.S. interventionism abroad, especially in Ukraine, has also proven to be out of step with much of the Republican electorate — though not with Democrat mega-donors.

Haley finished third place in Monday’s Iowa Republican Caucus, gaining only eight Republican convention delegates to former President Donald Trump’s twenty delegates. The former President won the Caucus by a historic margin with 51 percent of the vote to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s 21.2 percent and Haley’s 19.1 percent.

“New Hampshire is overwhelmingly likely to end up as the high-water mark for her campaign,” the Times says of the Haley campaign, noting that Republicans will still prefer Trump as “they’d rather go into the general election with someone they feel they can trust.”

BIDEN’S JOBS GROWTH LIE: Quiet Corrections Reveal Economy Added Near HALF A MILLION FEWER Jobs Than First Claimed.

Cumulative revisions to monthly jobs reports from January through November 2023 suggest that at least 443,000 fewer jobs were created in Joe Biden’s economy than the public was initially told.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BSL) publishes monthly job reports. Its figures often show job creation has been “surprisingly” high, with Biden’s economy stronger on paper than expected, given “hardship withdrawals” are rising and polls show most Americans feel the country is not performing well.

However, revisions to BSL job estimates over the course of the year indicate that people are not wrong to feel a disconnect between the numbers and their lived experiences. Revisions were downwards in 10 months out of the 11 for which revised estimates are available. The revisions are not small, either.

In June, the new jobs estimate was cut almost in half, dropping from 209,000 to 105,000. September, February, and May also saw big cuts of 74,000, 63,000, and 58,000, respectively.

Revisions for December 2023 were unknown as of the time of publication, but analysts say the prognosis is bleak.

Economist Dr. E.J. Antoni believes the current figures point towards “the economy shedding 1.5 million full-time jobs in a single month, big downward revisions” and a “true unemployment rate between 6.4 percent and 7.5 percent.”

Antoni also noted that government jobs accounted for roughly a quarter of all job gains in December, explaining that “this is highly problematic [because] you need many private sector jobs to support each [government] job via tax revenue,” far above the ratio that currently exists.
