👑 Argentina Elects Far-Right Libertarian

President-elect Javier Milei holding up a chainsaw during a campaign event in La Plata, Argentina, Sept. 12, 2023. The chainsaw symbolizes his plan to drastically cut government expenses.

Javier Milei, a libertarian TV celebrity who wants to “exterminate” inflation and slash the state, has won Argentina’s presidential election by a landslide.

He beat the center-left finance minister Sergio Massa with 55.7% of the vote.

Milei’s supporters celebrated his victory as a historic night for Argentina, while his opponents feared a meltdown of the economy and democracy.

Milei’s views:

  • Abolish the central bank,

  • Dollarize the economy,

  • Legalize organ sales,

  • Cut ties with Brazil and China.

🇨🇳 China Criticizes Israel’s Retaliation

China hosted foreign ministers from Arab and Muslim countries on Monday to discuss the Israel-Hamas conflict and push for an “urgent” ceasefire.

  • The crux? Beijing criticized Israel’s retaliation and did not condemn Hamas, angering Israeli officials.

Palestinian Authority Denies Massacre

🚨 PA Denies Hamas Massacre. If you’re not living in a cave, you’d know about the horrific massacre of 1,200 innocents in Israel by Hamas terrorists. On Sunday, the Palestinian Authority (PA), an authoritarian regime ruling parts of the West Bank, sent a statement to foreign ministries around the world and the UN, pointing fingers at Israel for the death of hundreds at a music festival, blatantly ignoring the glaring evidence of Hamas’ guilt.

🎵 The Supernova Tragedy. Here’s a reminder for all. On Oct. 7, 2023, the Supernova music festival, a haven of harmony and nature, was shattered by Hamas terrorists. They stormed in, killing around 364 of attendees and taking at least 40 hostages. Thousands of unsuspecting music and nature lovers, both Israelis and foreigners, were caught in the crossfire.

🚁 IDF’s Accidental Strike? An Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, initially stirred the pot with a report claiming an IDF helicopter mistakenly hit festival-goers while targeting terrorists. The report is based on an anonymous Israel Police official’s whispers. However, the Israel Police quickly slammed the article for lies and out-of-context reporting.

✉️ PA’s statement. Quick to jump on this, the Palestinian Authority and Hamas used it as a shield to deflect blame for the massacre and point fingers at Israel.

The Palestinian Authority’s original statement, left, and the translated statement, right.

🗣️ Netanyahu’s Response. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed the PA’s statement as “utterly preposterous” and "a complete reversal of truth."
