'World Economic Forum ‘rigged data’ to make Brexit look like failure'

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has been accused of rigging research to make Brexit look like a failure.

Klaus Schwab, the face of the Davos conference in Switzerland for years, allegedly intervened in the WEF’s annual Global Competitiveness Report, which ranks countries on productivity and long-term prosperity.

In the 2017/2018 report, the UK’s ranking improved from seventh to fourth after a change in methodology.

But Mr Schwab, 87, wrote to staff that the UK “must not see any improvement”, as otherwise it would be “exploited by the Brexit camp”.

The final report published in 2017 showed the UK had dropped one place to eighth.

An unusual public feud between the Food and Drug Administration and a maker of gene therapies for rare diseases could test the Trump administration's willingness to pull certain approved drugs from the market over safety concerns.

The standoff with Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Sarepta Therapeutics burst into public view late Friday after the company refused an FDA request to withdraw its treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy following patient deaths from liver failure.
The FDA said agency leadership met with Sarepta on Friday and requested it voluntarily stop all shipments of the IV therapy, called Elevidys, that day. The company refused.

Sarepta said it would pause shipments for patients confined to wheelchairs but would continue shipments to ambulatory patients, saying there were no new or changed safety signals in that group.

The company's stock plummeted on the news, while FDA commissioner Marty Makary told Bloomberg his agency was considering whether the therapy should continue to be sold.

ABC NEWS: Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced earlier this week that he wants to expand dairy recommendations in the federal dietary guidelines, which are set to be updated later this year.

"I grew up in a world where milk was the healthiest thing that you could eat," Kennedy said during a news conference on Monday. "There's a tremendous amount of emerging science that talks about the need for more protein in our diet and more fats in our diet. And there's no industry that does that better than this industry."

Currently, the U.S. dietary guidelines recommend Americans ages 9 and older have three cup equivalents of dairy daily or lactose-free or fortified soy alternatives. and children ages 1 to 8 are recommended to have between 1.6 cups and 2.5 cups depending on their age.

This includes dairy milk, fortified soy milk, yogurt with added calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin D and a range of cheeses such as hard cheese, processed cheese, ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, queso fresco and queso blanco.

Noted attorney Alan Dershowitz said Sunday he could be called as a witness in President Donald Trump’s suit against The Wall Street Journal, arguing that he could help “prove malice” in the case.

Trump announced he’d filed suit against the WSJ and its owner, Rupert Murdoch, Friday over an article that claimed he sent disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein a bawdy letter celebrating his birthday. Dershowitz told “Sunday Agenda” host Lidia Curanaj he also was contacted by the WSJ over a letter he reportedly sent, which the outlet couldn’t produce.

WATCH💥: DHS Sec Kristi Noem doesn't mince words — Liberal mayors in NYC, Boston, LA, and Chicago are shielding criminals at the expense of innocent families. From murders and rapes to child trafficking, sanctuary policies enable chaos with zero consequences:

"How many more lives will it take? How many more people have to be hurt and victimized before we have public safety being a number one priority in some of our largest cities.

When I look at what Mayor Adams has done to New York City, it breaks my heart to see the families that have suffered because of his policies. We can look across this country at other mayors.

We look at Mayor Wu in Boston and what's happened there under her watch. What's happened in L.A. with the riots and violence and the protests that have gone on because of Mayor Bass. And what she has perpetuated. When you look at Mayor Johnson in Chicago how devastating it is to live in some of those poorest communities how they suffer every single day with violence. Just because these individuals are protecting criminals.

They're protecting criminals who go out and murder, rape, rob, perpetuate violence on our children, traffic them. They damage this country every single day under the protection of Sanctuary City and governors who put in place these policies that allow them to perpetuate these crimes with no consequences."

🤔🙂Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said Sunday that she wanted to “heap praise” on the Trump administration for its response to the Palisades and Eaton wildfires earlier this year — contradicting Gov. Gavin Newsom (D).

Earlier this month, Newsom lashed out at the Trump administration, and especially special envoy for special missions Ric Grenell, who has been the White House point man on the ground in the early recovery stages.

As Breitbart News reported, Newsom attacked Grenell for criticizing the state’s fire and water policies, and accused the Trump administration of allowing fires to spread within brush on federal lands in California.

But Bass adopted a different tone in an appearance on ABC News’ This Week. The context was an interview about Bass’s opposition to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids.

RADDATZ: When you look at that border today, is there anything good you think the administration has done in these six months at the border?

BASS: Well, I will heap praise on the administration for the first six months in Los Angeles with the fires. If you ask me, is there anything that they have done good in terms of immigration? I don’t know. I don’t think so. I think that the viewpoint has been punitive, has been, let’s make it as miserable as possible so that these people don’t come.

ICYMI💥: Reps. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) and Byron Donalds (R-FL) called for arrests after new records into the Obama administration revealed that the claims Russia interfered with the 2016 presidential election were “manufactured and politicized intelligence.”

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified records on Friday showing “a treasonous conspiracy” to prevent President Donald Trump from “fulfilling his mandate.” Luna said the report is a “perfect example and reason” to push for reform of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE🙄: U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer has been tapped to oversee one of President Trump's requests to unseal Jeffrey Epstein's grand jury records. This is the same judge who earlier this year slapped down the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) by blocking its access to Treasury resources, a decision that drew sharp rebuke from the White House for overstepping judicial bounds.

For patriots eager to expose the full extent of Epstein's elite network—potentially implicating deep-state darlings and Clinton-era cronies—this assignment smells like another layer of obstruction. Engelmayer's history of rulings against Trump initiatives suggests he might drag his feet or outright deny the release, shielding powerful figures from accountability while the public is left in the dark.

If Engelmayer follows his pattern, expect delays, redactions, or worse— They'll blame President Trump, though.

Jeffrey Epstein's former lawyer has suggested that the sex-trafficking financier's only convicted accomplice should be granted immunity from further prosecution in exchange for coming clean in front of Congress.

Ghislaine Maxwell, 63, is the only associate held criminally or civilly liable in connection with the allegations against Epstein. In 2016, she sat for a deposition in a civil lawsuit, in which she denied recollection of nearly two dozen flights on Epstein's private jet with an underage Virginia Giuffre, who would go on to become the trafficking duo's most outspoken accuser. Epstein's flight logs showed Giuffre and Maxwell on the plane at the same time 23 times before she turned 18, Fox News Digital reported previously.

"[Maxwell] knows everything," Alan Dershowitz, a former attorney for Epstein, told Fox News' Shannon Bream on "Fox News Sunday." "She is the Rosetta Stone."

An unidentified friend of Maxwell's said in a recent interview with the Daily Mail that she would be open to testifying before Congress. Maxwell's attorney declined to confirm or deny the reporting.

NEW: Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg failed to replace outdated air traffic control systems while in office — with his agency instead shelling out tens of billions of dollars on a DEI agenda, according to federal spending records and airline industry insiders.

In one meeting, Buttigieg — who is said to be eyeing a 2028 presidential run — told industry executives that air traffic control upgrades would just allow them to fly more planes, “and so why would that be in his interest?,” sources said.

What his department was really interested in was handing out hundreds of diversity, equity and inclusion grants totaling more than $80 billion over four years — at least half of the DOT’s entire budget for a typical fiscal year, records show.

“He was definitely pushing an agenda,” an air industry official said, noting the transportation secretary had “little to no interest” and took “definitely zero action” toward air traffic control modernization.

During an interview with Shawn Ryan, Gavin Newsom seemingly waffles on his Leftist policies, from Gender-Care to Immigration and even Gun Control.

When asked if eight-year-old children should be given medical treatments to change their biological sex, he squirmed, obfuscated, and tried to occupy both sides of the subject.

But Monday's podcast episode is just the latest, though perhaps most egregious, shape-shifting move by the mercurial governor, who has made little secret of his presidential ambitions.

Many believe Newsom will run for President in 2028, and he has not ruled it out.

Republicans are not convinced, and Democrats are not pleased. Conservatives are suspicious of Newsom's intentions, while the liberals feel betrayed.

NEW❗️: The FBI failed to comprehensively analyze crucial thumb drives containing cyber-intrusion data from the State Department during its investigation of Hillary Clinton's private email server, according to a newly declassified Justice Department Inspector General report.

A confidential source provided the drives with data including emails from former President Barack Obama. Despite an internal draft memo stressing the need to "assess the national security risks" of Clinton's server, the bureau skipped full analysis over privilege concerns about victim data.

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba revealed plans on Monday to stay in office to provide “stability” and tackle economic concerns after his ruling coalition saw striking losses in the country’s upper house elections.

Ishiba’s Liberal Democratic Party, along with longtime partner Komeito, lost its majority in the upper house of parliament during elections on Sunday. The loss, coming after the LDP lost its majority in the lower House last October, marks the first time Ishiba’s party has lost a majority in both houses of parliament since its inception in 1955, sparking growing speculation over the weekend that Ishiba would step down.
