President Donald Trump’s week included rewriting U.S. policy toward Russia and firing the country’s senior military officer.

President Donald Trump’s week included rewriting U.S. policy toward Russia and firing the country’s senior military officer.
President Donald Trump’s fifth week in office included a dramatic shift in U.S. policy toward Russia, firing the country’s senior military officer, sitting for a chummy interview alongside bureaucracy-buster Elon Musk and seeking greater authority over independent regulatory agencies. Trump also said “inflation is back,” but said his short time back in the White House meant he had “nothing to do” with prices remaining high. That deflection can only work for so long, unless the economic outlook changes. Consumer sentiment suggests that isn’t happening. A look at where things stand after the first month of Trump’s second term: Russian policy…
It’s the wheelbarrow economy, stupid. It’s the wheelbarrow economy, stupid. “The inflation rate in Germany after World War I (C8) is the stuff of legends,” reports Ted Richards of Batemans Bay. “Factory workers were paid twice a day with their wives waiting at the factory gates at lunchtime to take the morning’s wages to buy whatever they could then because the prices would have risen by dinner time. It might need a wheelbarrow full of banknotes to buy a loaf of bread but if you encountered a robber, he would tip the banknotes out of the barrow and steal it…

GLENDALE, Ariz — It’s hard to say who took more heat on the South Side last year. Was it Chicago White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, the owner who had to listen to “Sell the team” chants while sitting in his suite? Or was it Pedro Grifol, the manager who couldn’t buy a win or keep his job? Perhaps it was the players who suffered through the 121-loss season and had to hear fans root for the opposing team as the Sox closed in on the modern major-league record for futility? The answer is none of the above. While they all…
VATICAN CITY — While the Vatican has detailed laws and rituals to ensure the transfer of power when a pope dies or resigns, they do not apply if he is sick or even unconscious. And there are no specific norms outlining what happens to the leadership of the Catholic Church if a pope becomes totally incapacitated. As a result, even though Pope Francis remains hospitalized in critical condition with a complex lung infection, he is still pope and very much in charge. The Vatican said Sunday that Francis was conscious and still receiving supplemental oxygen. He rested during a peaceful…
Alternative for Germany appears to be headed for the strongest showing by a far-right party since World War II in Sunday’s national election and is fielding its first candidate to lead the country. Other parties say they won’t work with the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany, or AfD, and co-leader Alice Weidel has no realistic chance of taking the country’s top job. But AfD has become a factor other politicians can’t ignore and has helped shape Germany’s debate on migration. It has also become prominent outside Germany. The party has won enthusiastic support from Elon Musk, as well as attention from…
