Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley take a deep dive into Kaspi.kz (NASDAQ: KSPI), the Kazakhstani super-app that combines payments, e-commerce, and fintech into a single platform that most of the country uses every day. They unpack how the business actually makes its money across its three segments, why its dominance at home has been so hard for competitors to challenge, and how a company this profitable ends up trading at only around seven times earnings. Daniel and Shawn discuss the company's founders and incentive structure, its expansion into Turkey through Hepsiburada, the role of its high dividend in the investment case, and the risks that come with it – from the oil-linked currency to the governance questions raised in the Culper short report. They also walk through how Daniel values the business and whether Kaspi.kz deserves a spot in The Intrinsic Value Portfolio. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: (00:00:00) Intro (00:00:36) How Kaspi became Kazakhstan's No.1 superapp (00:15:45) What business units Kaspi operates (00:33:49) What role the fintech business plays (00:36:07) How the marketplace differs from Mercado Libre and Shopee (00:43:34) What the competitive environment in Kazakhstan looks like (00:51:11) What the Turkey expansion means for the business (01:18:26) Valuation discussion of Kaspi (01:21:59) Whether Kaspi is valued attractively (01:25:24) Whether Shawn and Daniel add KSPI to the Intrinsic Value Portfolio Disclaimer: Slight discrepancies in the timestamps may occur due to podcast platform differences.

In early 2022, protests rocked Kazakhstan. Initially peaceful demonstrations turned violent after brutal government crackdowns, leaving at least 238 dead during "Bloody January." Many feared the unrest might fracture the country along ethno-linguistic lines—yet ethnicity played little role. It was deep socio-economic grievances and anti-regime sentiment that brought people onto the streets. In What Does It Mean to Be Kazakhstani?: Nation-Building in Post-Soviet Central Asia (Oxford University Press, 2024), Diana T. Kudaibergen asks why. Building on unpublished archival materials and hundreds of interviews, she examines how Kazakhstan developed a relatively stable inter-ethnic framework where others fractured, how regime elites and ordinary citizens have pulled that identity in different directions, and how Moscow's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and the Russian immigration it has prompted, is once again transforming what it means to call oneself Kazakhstani. Cholpon Ramizova is a London-based creator and researcher. She holds a Master's in Migration, Mobility and Development from SOAS, University of London. Her thematic interests are in migration, displacement, identity, gender and nationalism—and in the ways these intersect within the Central Asia context. Learn more about your ad choices.

Nancy Chris Roman Space Telescope Assembly Complete: NASA has successfully assembled the Nancy Chris Roman Space Telescope, a major milestone that brings us closer to its anticipated launch in May 2027. This powerful telescope, equipped with a 288-megapixel camera, promises to gather data hundreds of times faster than Hubble, potentially unveiling over 100,000 new exoplanets and billions of galaxies.Russian Soyuz Rocket Launch Damage: Following a successful launch to the International Space Station, damage was discovered at the Baikonur Cosmodrome, attributed to vibrations and heat from the launch. Repairs are expected to take around three months, but there's no immediate threat to future crewed missions.Satellite Mega Constellations and Light Pollution: A new forecast reveals that satellite mega constellations could severely impact astronomical observations, with projections showing that 1/3 of Hubble's images may be contaminated with satellite trails by the 2030s. Solutions are being explored to mitigate this growing issue.Geological Differences Between Earth and Venus: Recent research sheds light on the geological differences between Earth and Venus, highlighting that Venus operates under a 'squishy lid' regime, which affects its volcanism and tectonic activity. This new framework helps explain the presence of active volcanoes on the otherwise stagnant planet.James Webb Space Telescope's Stunning New Image: The James Webb Space Telescope captures a breathtaking image of two colliding dwarf galaxies, NGC 4490 and NGC 4485, revealing a bridge of gas and new stars formed from their gravitational interaction, showcasing the dynamic nature of the universe.Rare High-Definition Sunspot Images: Astronomers have captured rare high-definition images of sunspots just before they erupted in a powerful solar flare. These images provide critical insights into the sun's magnetic activity and could improve our ability to predict solar events that impact technology on Earth.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Interview with Troy Boisjoli, CEO, ATHA EnergyOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/atha-energy-tsxvsask-up-to-47-grades-defining-mineralized-potential-6890Recording date: 4 May 2025ATHA Energy emerges as a compelling uranium investment opportunity amid unprecedented nuclear expansion policies and shifting global supply dynamics. The Canadian exploration company controls significant uranium assets positioned to benefit from US executive orders targeting a quadrupling of nuclear power capacity from 50 million to 200 million pounds per annum.The company's flagship Angilak project holds a 43 million pound historic resource at an exceptional 0.69% U3O8 grade, comparable to world-class deposits. ATHA's 2024 drilling program achieved a remarkable 100% success rate across 25 drill holes, demonstrating the scale and continuity of mineralization. CEO Troy Boisjoli notes this success rate is "uncommon" in uranium exploration, indicating substantial metal endowment potential.Beyond the established historic resource, ATHA controls the entire unexplored Angikuni basin, spanning 31 kilometers of mineralized structural trend comparable to the Athabasca basin. This district-scale opportunity presents discovery potential analogous to early Athabasca exploration in the 1960s, with surface mineralization up to 30% uranium and historical drilling results showing grades up to 5.6%.The company's exploration program is led by Cliff Revering, former chief geologist responsible for bringing Cigar Lake into production. The concurrent drill programs target both additional work at established projects, as well as new discoveries.Market fundamentals support uranium price appreciation, with current conditions mirroring the 2006-2007 period that saw prices rise from the mid-$30s to $135-138 per pound. Boisjoli describes market tension as "a spring that's being coiled very very tight," driven by constrained global supply chains and accelerating demand from both traditional utilities and technology companies requiring nuclear power for data centers.Canada's strategic position as a stable uranium supplier becomes increasingly valuable as global supply chains fragment, with significant Kazakhstani production committed to China and Russia, creating what Boisjoli terms a "bifurcated uranium market."Learn More: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/atha-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

New York Representative Dan Goldman, a Democrat, defended Hunter Biden's international business engagements on Wednesday, asserting that they are founded on legitimate business rationales rather than leveraging Joe Biden's political influence. During a pause in Hunter Biden's interrogation by the House Oversight and Accountability Committee and House Judiciary Committee, Goldman refuted Republican claims linking Hunter's business ventures to the elder Biden's political career. Goldman criticized the investigation into Joe Biden as baseless, highlighting Hunter Biden's transparent account of his foreign business interactions, which he described as standard dealings with international investors and businessmen. He emphasized Hunter Biden's extensive professional background post-Yale Law School and denounced the unfounded accusations aimed at him during the session. Hunter Biden's involvement with Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, during Joe Biden's vice presidency has been a point of contention, especially given Hunter's lack of experience in Ukraine and the energy sector. Furthermore, connections between Hunter Biden, his family, and CEFC China Energy Limited have raised eyebrows, given CEFC's ties to the Chinese Communist Party and the Belt and Road Initiative. Allegations of indirect payments from Russian, Kazakhstani, and Romanian oligarchs to Hunter Biden through a network of shell companies have also been scrutinized.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The January 8, 1976, capital protests in Beijing, and the communist responses, are eerily similar to the way officials reacted to the January 6, 2021, protests. The double standard of reporting and prosecution was made even more glaring over the last month as left-wing protesters stormed the capital on numerous occasion over Palestine. The hypocrisy was even more clear when D-NY Jamaal Bowman pulled a fire alarm, on video, to prevent a vote on government spending. More video footage recently proved the vice chair of the Bridgeport Democratic Town Committee was stuffing ballot drop boxes with votes for the incumbent D-mayor, against another D-mayoral candidate. A judge has thus overturned that primary election. This is par for the Democrat course: Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren stepped down over campaign fraud, New York State Lieutenant Governor Brian Benjamin was charged with bribery and other offenses, the money launderer Sam Bankman-Fried was the second largest contributor to the D-party, and top D-contributor Ed Buck was running a drugging and molestation operation against black people. Now the Supreme Court is hearing a case on New York threatening, discouraging, and reputation damaging the NRA, by trying to get companies to cut ties or debunk them. The corruption just keeps pouring out: ex-FBI counterintelligence chief, Charles McGonigal, partly behind the 2016 Russian collusion story, was actually colluding with Russia just like Hillary Clinton. The Oversight for the Committee on House Administration found that the J6 committee failed to keep documents, data, and video depositions, of their investigation, along with communications with the current White House, and that they outright ignored evidence, including Capitol Hill security failures. The same White House also sent letters to news execs urging them to ‘ramp up' scrutiny of GOP's Biden impeachment inquiry, and instructed social media on how to censor Hunter Biden stories. The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability also released bank records showing that Joe Biden and his son Hunter, along with business associates, received millions in payouts from Russians, Ukrainians, and Kazakhstani oligarchs as political bribes. There is now physical evidence that Joe Biden received $40,000 from his brother in laundered money from China. Meanwhile, the FBI has had 40 sources inside the Biden family for years, collecting blackmail. The National Archives has likewise announced their finding of 82,000 Biden-pseudonym emails. Dark Brandon's adventures just keep escalating in this part 2 episode.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5328407/advertisement
This week has been a tragic week for Israelis, both Jewish and not Jewish who have been mercilessly killed, r*ped, and kidnapped. This has been the worst attack on Jews and the State of Israel since the Holocaust and we are now in the midst of all an out war with the hamas terrorist group. This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with a man who not only shares my name but is an amazing Israeli pro MMA fighter who is working his way to the UFC. A few months ago, Rafi was scheduled for a fight with a Kazakhstani who sent Rafi an Instagram DM asking if he likes German music and telling him he'll burn like the Nazi's burned the Jews. Rafi went on to KO Borat and send him back to his village with Azamat Bagatov and his brother Billow without having a chance to rescue Pamela Anderson.

Residents in an upscale Ancaster, Ontario neighbourhood often wondered about the one homeowner that seemed to stand out. He didn't look much older than 19, didn't seem to work, yet had a near million dollar house and a collection of exotic cars. In 2017 a joint RCMP / FBI operation on the home's front porch led to the arrest of 22-year-old Karim Baratov, and provided answers to many of the neighborhood's questions about him and his wealth. MJ Banias and Jordan will explore this story together by seeking the firsthand account directly from the source. Karim Baratov, now older, wiser, and no longer an American prison inmate will join the show to recount the fascinating sotry of how a Kazakhstani immigrant in Canada achieved great wealth as one of Canada's most notorious computer hackers, only to experience a dramatic and public downfall.

In a stunning series of recent revelations we have seen the mask and clothes of the emperor dissolve in real time. On July 21st the Justice Department announced that former ABC journalist James Gordon Meek plead guilty to transportation and possession of child sexual abuse material, including a video of an infant being raped. The FBI found that his files date back to 2014, just months after being hired by ABC, prompting speculation that the material might have been part of a black-mail operation. Either way, James was one of a number of journalists who 'debunked' a certain pizza conspiracy, which although was certainly a counter-intelligence operation, discredited the very thing he had on his electronic devices at the time of the debunking. A few days later, an ex-FBI counterintelligence chief, Charles McGonigal, was planning to plead guilty on charges of colluding with Russia. This is the same man who had told the FBI that Russia was offering 'political dirt' on Hillary Clinton as part of an effort to interfere with the 2016 Presidential election. A few days later the Oversight for the Committee on House Administration found that the J6 committee failed to keep documents, data, and video depositions, of the investigation, along with communications with the current White House, and that they outright ignored evidence, including Capitol Hill security failures. Soon after the the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability released more bank records showing that Joe Biden and his son Hunter, along with business associates, received millions in payouts from Russians, Ukrainians, and Kazakhstani oligarchs as political bribes. One partner testified that they sold the Bidens as a "brand" to make profit. In other words, the Joe Biden, especially as Vice President, committed not only the very crimes he accuses his political opponents of, but he and his associates are actively trying to put those opponents in jail, while they continue to commit acts of treason.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5328407/advertisement
The House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer released a memo detailing evidence of the Biden family's foreign business dealings, including redacted bank records which the GOP claims will reveal millions of dollars in payment to Hunter Biden from Russian and Kazakhstani oligarchs. House Oversight says they believe they can tie the folks contributing millions to Hunter's businesses abroad to President Biden himself. Congressman Pat Fallon (R-TX) argues there is a concerning pattern with Hunter Biden's business dealings and says he believes eventually the evidence will uncover a massive political scandal. On the Rundown, Rep. Fallon explains what Hunter Biden's bank documents reveal, the Democrats' response to them, and the continued search for a smoking gun in this investigation. Earlier this week, voters in an Ohio special election rejected a measure that would have made it more difficult to change the state's constitution. The current system required a simple majority to make amendments; however, the defeated GOP-backed measure had proposed raising the threshold to a 60 percent supermajority. Many pundits and pro-choice activists warned that if passed, this would severely curtail Ohioans' ability to pass the abortion rights amendment scheduled for a state ballot initiative in November. While the vote is still months away, this sets the stage for Ohio voters to codify abortion rights. On the podcast, Kyle Kondik, Managing Editor at Sabato's Crystal Ball, breaks down why this special election was indirectly a vote on abortion rights, why this Republican-backed measure was defeated, and how this will affect Ohioans on the November ballot.

Episode 26 in the ClaireFontaine of podcasts tackles the era defining debate on whether we need a RedZone, a DMZ zone or a demolition of the Carlisle Grounds. As we look forward to Derry's adventures in Kazakhstan, Andy Myler, who's not as knowledgable on Kazakhstani football as you might think, takes a break from party pooping and reunites with another ex student Conan Byrne to explain the future of the UCD model, and offer neutral opinions on the developments at the top of the table. Conan gives his take on the negative influence of stats and our mailbag takes in Longford gripes, Bohs optimism and the usual Galway tangents with the continued support of Future Ticketing, Collar and Cuff and Rascals Brewery. If home is where you're weaned it's also where your potty trained. It's episode 26 and its fresh as a daisy.
“Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power.” ― John SteinbeckI not only believed in the myth of Joe Biden, I helped sell it. My father had just died and it was easy for me to transpose my grief onto Joe as I tried to convince my fellow Hillary supporters that he was the only candidate to beat Trump. Yes, the “old white guy” whose moment had finally arrived. He would save us, we all thought. He was empathetic and kind. He was, I insisted, a good man.He'd once crossed the street in DC as the then Vice President to talk to my daughter's 5th-grade class. My daughter stood just inches away from him. Who didn't love Joe? Scranton Joe is the good man, the good father, who rode the Amtrak train home from DC every day to be with his family. He's the forward-thinking progressive who fought for the Black community, for victims of sexual assault, and for gay rights before even Obama did.He was famously almost too young to serve when elected to the Senate in 1972. Here he is alongside his family, celebrating his birthday just one month before his wife and baby daughter would be killed in a car crash.How could so much good fortune be cut short by a tragedy that would leave his two boys without a mother? His young son Hunter suffered from a head injury while his other son Beau survived with broken bones.Joe Biden was sworn in at the hospital as his two young sons looked on with confusion. He pledged to put them first, and abandon his political career if it ever came to that.But there is another Joe Biden. It's the one who has shunned his granddaughter he pretends does not exist. At least with the Biden name she could make something of herself. But no, says Joe. She isn't one of us. It's the Joe Biden who would exploit a family tragedy to hold a press conference and photo-op that was good for his image while being sworn in in1972. It's the Joe Biden who claimed the death of his son Beau kept him from running as Obama's successor in 2016, when the truth was that Obama didn't want him to run. He wanted Hillary instead. "The incredible bond I have with my children is the gift I'm not sure I would have had, had I not been through what I went through [after the fatal crash]. But by focusing on my sons, I found my redemption." - Joe Biden, Yale Commencement Address, 2015As a Senator in 1972, Joe Biden would bear witness to the downfall of Richard Nixon, just two years away from resignation. He could not know all of those decades ago that he would face something far more serious than being caught on tape offering to pay off a blackmailer. No, this isn't obstruction of justice Biden is accused of participating in. It's out-and-out corruption, the worst kind, being a politician who traded power and influence for profit.Comparing what Biden is alleged to have done with even the most serious charges against Trump is laughable. The more of Biden's story that is revealed, the worse the Trump hunters will look. As always, the legacy media is the only thing standing in the way of a Nixon-like downfall for Joe. They're in way too deep now. If Biden goes down, so do they. After all, they were responsible for helping put Joe in power in 2020, to absolve themselves of the sins of Trump. Now, they will pay a price for ignoring the Biden scandal. All the President's SonsIt's hard to look at Joe Biden's life and not think about East of Eden, the Steinbeck novel turned into a movie in 1955, based on the story of Cain and Abel. It's not the same story, but it's similar enough. The golden child, Beau, was meant to carry on the family name and was preparing to run for governor when he died tragically in 2015.The other son, Hunter, the wayward Cain, or Cal, was nothing but trouble for his father, acting out in obvious ways to get his approval and attention, but never quite getting it, engaging in corruption to enrich the Biden family. Hunter didn't just engage in high risk behavior with cocaine and hookers, he did it on camera, uploaded it to porn sites, and left it all on his laptops, which he then abandon at a computer repair shop.He wasn't exactly hiding it - if anything, he seemed like he was begging to get caught, to finally experience some of the much-needed consequences that might have changed his life. But they never came then and they won't be coming now. But what about Joe? Did he have anything to do with the pay-offs by foreign leaders to buy influence? If he skimmed off the top and feigned ignorance, it would be one thing. But it's far more sinister than that. If the allegations against him are true, Biden used the son with the dirty reputation as a go-between, knowing if they ever got caught, Hunter would take the fall. Biden would make sure he didn't go to jail.Even as his son was spiraling into drugs and alcohol and his other son was dying of brain cancer, Joe Biden still managed to push forward to cash in on the Biden name and his position in the Obama administration.In 2013, Hunter Biden started a fund with the Chinese government, with Joe bringing Hunter there to meet with the CEO, the Chinese then greenlighted the fund, and Beau Biden was diagnosed with brain cancerIn 2014, Burisma appointed Hunter Biden to their Board of Directors, paying him $83K monthly, and while he and Devon Archer formed Rosemont Seneca as Joe Biden flew to Ukraine to speak against corruption, a “Kazakhstani oil company and Burisma joined with the Chinese company to announce a transnational financial arrangement.” [dw]In 2015, Hunter Biden organized a dinner at Cafe Milano where Joe Biden dropped by to meet a high-level Burisma official, Vadym Pozharskyi, Beau Biden's cancer has returned, and he died in May of 2015.Also, in 2015, a Burisma source said, “It costs 5 million to pay one Biden and 5 million to pay another Biden.” [dw]In April of 2019, Hunter Biden dropped off three damaged laptops at a computer repair shop. By October 14, 2020, the New York Post would break the story that was then silenced by Twitter and Facebook and dismissed as “Russian Disinformation.” In October 2020, Tucker Carlson broke the Tony Bobulinski story, which the legacy media and late-night comedy hosts roundly mock. In 2021, NPR's story on Hunter Biden: “Biden writes that his addictions entered a particularly dark phase after Beau died of brain cancer in 2015. It got to the point where in an intervention in early 2019, his father held him in a bear hug, saying, "I don't know what to do."In 2022, Elon Musk bought Twitter, and the Twitter Files exposed corruption at the FBI, pushing Facebook and Twitter to bury the laptop story and protect Joe Biden in the run-up to the election.Follow the MoneyThe legacy press have become zombie-like in their ongoing Trump trance, refusing to chase what has to be the biggest political story of the decade, maybe of the century. With Nixon, the cover-up was far worse than the crime itself, but in Biden's case, both the crime and the cover-up are equally bad. Dozens of government officials, experts, activists, and journalists have had Biden's back and covered for him. Now, as the house of cards they've built, the Madoff-like empire of lies finally collapses, all of them will be dragged down with it. When will the reporters figure this out and start aggressively chasing the story? It's hard to know. They've all been mandated to track the Trump indictments, which seem like child's play by comparison, and Jack Smith is just a few headlines away from looking like a fool. Peter Baker of the New York Times tweeted something that indicates he's at least asking the right questions:As long as the Justice Department and the propaganda media keep the focus on Trump, they can deflect from high crimes by the Biden family. Yet, this story goes all the way back to the “perfect phone call” that led to the first impeachment. Imagine that. Trump getting impeached for daring to ask about the Bidens' involvement in Ukraine. We're witnessing unprecedented corruption at the top, yet, here we are, with only a slim GOP majority in the House aggressively chasing the scandal and a handful of outsider reporters who give a damn.Everyone else shrugs and moves on. But that was exactly how Watergate went down too. It wasn't a story until it was a story. From The Spectator:We're in the middle of corruption bigger than our own democracy. We, the people, are not equipped to manage something that involves an actual hot war. Yet, we deserve to know just how deep Biden's involvement goes with the Ukraine government. Since they tied Trump to Russia, and many Americans side with Ukraine the same way they side with Democrats, no wonder the scales of justice have been so lopsided lately. They have conflated Putin and Trump, yet it's really Biden and Ukraine that deserves closer scrutiny. Explained here by Matt Taibbi and Walter Kirn on America This Week: I left the Democratic Party in 2020 after I watched them rig the election with dark money and well-educated lawyers who could simply rewrite any law that got in their way, not to mention a permanent propaganda press to do their bidding. I already knew they were corrupt and that they were lying to the public about almost everything, from COVID to lockdowns to voting to the protests in the Summer and January 6th, and that meant all of the experts they dragged out to back them up were lying too.Health experts say racism is more important than COVID.Military experts tell Trump not to send in the military during the protests over the Summer.And yes, from Politico:It just tugs at your heart, doesn't it? That they could lie so brazenly, thinking themselves on the right side of history because they were stopping a once-in-a-generation threat to “Democracy”? But at what cost to the rest of us?How long will they be able to keep the balls spinning? How long can they fool the public? How long will the legacy press turn a blind eye? And worse, how will we ever trust our government, our FBI, our experts ever again?We used to have journalists in the mainstream who cared more about the public's trust more than they cared about their own image on social media. What hope do we have now except our faith a few good Republicans with a slim majority in the House to bring forth witnesses who will risk everything just to tell the truth.

Blinken's comments came during an exchange with Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., during a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Thursday to examine the "State of American Diplomacy in 2023: Growing Conflicts, Budget Challenges, and Great Power Competition." "There are several Americans who are being detained by the Taliban. We are working to secure their freedom. The families have asked that we protect their identities and don't speak publicly to their cases," Blinken responded when asked by Wilson how many Americans remain in the war-torn country. Blinken's comments come as Republicans continue to push for accountability from the Biden administration over its rocky withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, which resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. service members who were killed in a suicide bombing while protecting the evacuation at the Kabul airport. Republicans in the House of Representatives have begun an investigation into Biden's handling of the withdrawal. Lawmakers seek to examine what they called a "stunning failure" of leadership in their first hearing on the topic earlier this month. The Taliban quickly took over Afghanistan's capital of Kabul in August 2021 as U.S. troops prepared to withdraw on Biden's orders, timed for the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. In addition to the thirteen U.S. service members who were killed, 170 others also lost their lives during the withdrawal and thousands of U.S. citizens and allies were left behind in the country overrun by the terrorist group. Earlier this week, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, sent a letter — one of many in recent months — to Blinken demanding that he provide the committee with "documents and information concerning the Biden Administration’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan." Specifically, McCaul is demanding information from Blinken regarding a "Dissent Channel cable reportedly sent on July 13, 2021, by 23 State Department officials and the Department’s response to it," as well as an after-action report and two versions of U.S. Embassy Kabul’s Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prior to the embassy's closure. In the letter, McCaul warned Blinken that his "failure to produce" those documents would "result in the Committee issuing a subpoena to compel their production." https://www.dailywire.com/news/your-platform-should-be-banned-congresswoman-rips-into-tiktok-ceo-for-targeting-kids ‘Your Platform Should Be Banned’: Congresswoman Rips Into TikTok CEO For Targeting Kids Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) tore into TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew during a Thursday morning hearing, accusing him and his company of targeting American children and feeding data to the Chinese Communist Party. Rodgers, who chairs the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, held nothing back in a blistering opening statement, saying that the platform specifically and intentionally targets children outside of communist China while protecting their own children from the platform’s harmful content. Chair Rodgers to TikTok CEO: “Your Platform Should be Banned” Play 3:00-6:01 Now we go to Michigan… https://www.foxnews.com/media/michigan-university-hosting-separate-graduation-celebrations-based-on-race-sexuality Michigan university hosting separate graduation celebrations based on race, sexuality A Michigan college is coming under fire for hosting five graduation celebrations separated by race, sexuality and gender identity, in addition to the university's larger commencement ceremony. Grand Valley State University's Multicultural Affairs Office lists graduation ceremonies or celebrations for Black students, Asian students, "Latinx" students, Native American students, and "LGBTQIA+" students next month. The university will also have a general commencement ceremony for all students. The college describes the graduation celebration for "Latino/a/x students" as "an opportunity to come together and acknowledge Latin accomplishments in the spirit and traditions of culture." Similarly, the Black Graduation Celebration encourages students to celebrate all "that is representative of Black/African American and African tradition, heritage, culture, and legacy." The ceremony appears to go back to at least 2016. An annual "Native American Graduation Feast" has also been held by the school's Native American Advisory Council (NAAC) for the past several years. A celebration just for Asian graduates will also take place. The only celebration hosted by the center not focused on race appears to be the "Lavender Graduation." The rainbow-decorated GVSU webpage will celebrate "the personal and academic achievements of LGBTQIA+ and allied students." Students are also eligible for an "Outstanding LGBTQIA+ Graduate Award," which is given "to an exceptional student graduating in the Fall or Winter semester of 2023…who self-identifies as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community," the GVSU site says. Several other liberal universities have followed similar practices for graduations in recent years. New York's Columbia University host graduation celebrations for affinity groups on campus, including "Lavender (LGBTQIA+), Asian, First-Generation and/or Low-Income, Black, Latinx, and Native communities," its website says. Harvard University also hosts graduation celebrations for Black students, Asian students, Latino students and LGBTQ students. Grand Valley State University told Fox News Digital that there are unified graduation ceremonies for all students: "Grand Valley State University holds unified Commencement ceremonies for all of its graduates. GVSU is not 'segregating graduation ceremonies by race,' as some people and outlets have said. "Grand Valley also welcomes student organizations and faculty leaders to hold smaller scale celebrations designed to honor graduates. These more intimate celebrations are a complement to GVSU’s Commencement and are open to all students and their supporters." "The vast majority of graduating students who participate in these celebrations also choose to participate in our larger Commencement ceremony where degrees are conferred," a representative said. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahbarkoukis/2023/03/22/dead-dolphins-nj-n2620984 NJ Lawmakers Demand Pause on Offshore Wind Projects After Latest Mass-Death Incident at Beach Eight dolphins have died in New Jersey after washing ashore a Sea Isle City beach on Tuesday. According to the Marine Mammal Stranding Center, two dolphins died shortly after they were spotted on the beach while the six others were euthanized after a veterinarian determined their conditions were deteriorating so rapidly that returning them to the water would have prolonged their suffering in what would have resulted in an “inevitable death.” The mass stranding on Tuesday follows a dead dolphin washing up at a New Jersey marina last week, the sixth one to be found along the state’s shoreline in under a month. In addition to dolphin deaths, nearly a dozen dead whales have washed up along the New Jersey-New York coast since December. The spate of deaths has prompted lawmakers to call for a suspension of offshore wind projects until it can be determined why the animals are dying. The eight dolphins that died on Tuesday will be sent to a state lab to determine the cause of death. Let’s take a look at the job market: Jobless Claims Fall to 191,000 New claims for unemployment benefits fell last week to 191,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. Economists had forecast a rise in claims to 197,000. The prior week was unrevised at 192,000. The Federal Reserve has been attempting to soften demand for labor in order to sap inflationary pressures from the economy. Despite many headlines about layoffs at companies like Amazon and Facebook, unemployment remains extraordinarily low. The 4-week moving average of initial claims fell by 250 to 196,250. Continuing claims, which are reported with a one week delay, rise by 14,000 to 1,694,000. https://www.theblaze.com/news/chicago-blackhawks-opt-out-pride23 Chicago Blackhawks opt out of 'Pride Night' jerseys, citing safety concerns for Russian players The Chicago Blackhawks are yet another NHL team to decline wearing "pride"-themed jerseys for the 2023 season, citing safety concerns for their Russian players, according to the New York Post. The Blackhawks are the fourth team to decline wearing such jerseys, behind the New York Rangers, New York Islanders, and Minnesota Wild. multiple sports outlets are citing anonymous sources that state the team is doing so to protect Russian players. The Athletic says that the move was made by “team management and security officials” and not the players. Russia has laws against the spread of certain views, which make it illegal to "spread ‘propaganda’ about ‘nontraditional sexual relations’ in all media, including social, advertising and movies," according to the New York Times. The Blackhawks have several players on their roster who could potentially run into problems, including Moscow-born defenseman Nikita Zaitsev. Goalie Anton Khudobin is a Kazakhstani-born Russian, and forward Philipp Kurashev was born in Davos, Switzerland, but holds Russian citizenship and is the son of a former professional hockey player. As well, Canadian-born Boris Katchouk holds Canadian and Russian citizenship, and his mother was an Olympian for the Soviet Union. However, other Russian NHL players have worn similar jerseys in the same season, including San Jose Sharks players Alexander Barabanov and Nikolai Knyzhov and Pittsburgh Penguins star Evgeni Malkin. Just two months prior to the Blackhawks' decision, Ivan Provorov, Russian-born player for the Philadelphia Flyers, cited his Russian Orthodox beliefs as the reason why he didn't want to wear a "pride" warm-up jersey, with San Jose Sharks goalie James Reimer following suit in March 2023 because of his Christian faith.

A celebration just for Asian graduates will also take place. The only celebration hosted by the center not focused on race appears to be the "Lavender Graduation." The rainbow-decorated GVSU webpage will celebrate "the personal and academic achievements of LGBTQIA+ and allied students." Students are also eligible for an "Outstanding LGBTQIA+ Graduate Award," which is given "to an exceptional student graduating in the Fall or Winter semester of 2023…who self-identifies as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community," the GVSU site says. Several other liberal universities have followed similar practices for graduations in recent years. New York's Columbia University host graduation celebrations for affinity groups on campus, including "Lavender (LGBTQIA+), Asian, First-Generation and/or Low-Income, Black, Latinx, and Native communities," its website says. Harvard University also hosts graduation celebrations for Black students, Asian students, Latino students and LGBTQ students. Grand Valley State University told Fox News Digital that there are unified graduation ceremonies for all students: "Grand Valley State University holds unified Commencement ceremonies for all of its graduates. GVSU is not 'segregating graduation ceremonies by race,' as some people and outlets have said. "Grand Valley also welcomes student organizations and faculty leaders to hold smaller scale celebrations designed to honor graduates. These more intimate celebrations are a complement to GVSU’s Commencement and are open to all students and their supporters." "The vast majority of graduating students who participate in these celebrations also choose to participate in our larger Commencement ceremony where degrees are conferred," a representative said. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahbarkoukis/2023/03/22/dead-dolphins-nj-n2620984 NJ Lawmakers Demand Pause on Offshore Wind Projects After Latest Mass-Death Incident at Beach Eight dolphins have died in New Jersey after washing ashore a Sea Isle City beach on Tuesday. According to the Marine Mammal Stranding Center, two dolphins died shortly after they were spotted on the beach while the six others were euthanized after a veterinarian determined their conditions were deteriorating so rapidly that returning them to the water would have prolonged their suffering in what would have resulted in an “inevitable death.” The mass stranding on Tuesday follows a dead dolphin washing up at a New Jersey marina last week, the sixth one to be found along the state’s shoreline in under a month. In addition to dolphin deaths, nearly a dozen dead whales have washed up along the New Jersey-New York coast since December. The spate of deaths has prompted lawmakers to call for a suspension of offshore wind projects until it can be determined why the animals are dying. The eight dolphins that died on Tuesday will be sent to a state lab to determine the cause of death. Let’s take a look at the job market: Jobless Claims Fall to 191,000 New claims for unemployment benefits fell last week to 191,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. Economists had forecast a rise in claims to 197,000. The prior week was unrevised at 192,000. The Federal Reserve has been attempting to soften demand for labor in order to sap inflationary pressures from the economy. Despite many headlines about layoffs at companies like Amazon and Facebook, unemployment remains extraordinarily low. The 4-week moving average of initial claims fell by 250 to 196,250. Continuing claims, which are reported with a one week delay, rise by 14,000 to 1,694,000. https://www.theblaze.com/news/chicago-blackhawks-opt-out-pride23 Chicago Blackhawks opt out of 'Pride Night' jerseys, citing safety concerns for Russian players The Chicago Blackhawks are yet another NHL team to decline wearing "pride"-themed jerseys for the 2023 season, citing safety concerns for their Russian players, according to the New York Post. The Blackhawks are the fourth team to decline wearing such jerseys, behind the New York Rangers, New York Islanders, and Minnesota Wild. multiple sports outlets are citing anonymous sources that state the team is doing so to protect Russian players. The Athletic says that the move was made by “team management and security officials” and not the players. Russia has laws against the spread of certain views, which make it illegal to "spread ‘propaganda’ about ‘nontraditional sexual relations’ in all media, including social, advertising and movies," according to the New York Times. The Blackhawks have several players on their roster who could potentially run into problems, including Moscow-born defenseman Nikita Zaitsev. Goalie Anton Khudobin is a Kazakhstani-born Russian, and forward Philipp Kurashev was born in Davos, Switzerland, but holds Russian citizenship and is the son of a former professional hockey player. As well, Canadian-born Boris Katchouk holds Canadian and Russian citizenship, and his mother was an Olympian for the Soviet Union. However, other Russian NHL players have worn similar jerseys in the same season, including San Jose Sharks players Alexander Barabanov and Nikolai Knyzhov and Pittsburgh Penguins star Evgeni Malkin. Just two months prior to the Blackhawks' decision, Ivan Provorov, Russian-born player for the Philadelphia Flyers, cited his Russian Orthodox beliefs as the reason why he didn't want to wear a "pride" warm-up jersey, with San Jose Sharks goalie James Reimer following suit in March 2023 because of his Christian faith.

Blinken's comments came during an exchange with Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., during a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Thursday to examine the "State of American Diplomacy in 2023: Growing Conflicts, Budget Challenges, and Great Power Competition." "There are several Americans who are being detained by the Taliban. We are working to secure their freedom. The families have asked that we protect their identities and don't speak publicly to their cases," Blinken responded when asked by Wilson how many Americans remain in the war-torn country. Blinken's comments come as Republicans continue to push for accountability from the Biden administration over its rocky withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, which resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. service members who were killed in a suicide bombing while protecting the evacuation at the Kabul airport. Republicans in the House of Representatives have begun an investigation into Biden's handling of the withdrawal. Lawmakers seek to examine what they called a "stunning failure" of leadership in their first hearing on the topic earlier this month. The Taliban quickly took over Afghanistan's capital of Kabul in August 2021 as U.S. troops prepared to withdraw on Biden's orders, timed for the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. In addition to the thirteen U.S. service members who were killed, 170 others also lost their lives during the withdrawal and thousands of U.S. citizens and allies were left behind in the country overrun by the terrorist group. Earlier this week, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, sent a letter — one of many in recent months — to Blinken demanding that he provide the committee with "documents and information concerning the Biden Administration’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan." Specifically, McCaul is demanding information from Blinken regarding a "Dissent Channel cable reportedly sent on July 13, 2021, by 23 State Department officials and the Department’s response to it," as well as an after-action report and two versions of U.S. Embassy Kabul’s Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prior to the embassy's closure. In the letter, McCaul warned Blinken that his "failure to produce" those documents would "result in the Committee issuing a subpoena to compel their production." https://www.dailywire.com/news/your-platform-should-be-banned-congresswoman-rips-into-tiktok-ceo-for-targeting-kids ‘Your Platform Should Be Banned’: Congresswoman Rips Into TikTok CEO For Targeting Kids Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) tore into TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew during a Thursday morning hearing, accusing him and his company of targeting American children and feeding data to the Chinese Communist Party. Rodgers, who chairs the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, held nothing back in a blistering opening statement, saying that the platform specifically and intentionally targets children outside of communist China while protecting their own children from the platform’s harmful content.

Grand Valley State University's Multicultural Affairs Office lists graduation ceremonies or celebrations for Black students, Asian students, "Latinx" students, Native American students, and "LGBTQIA+" students next month. The university will also have a general commencement ceremony for all students. The college describes the graduation celebration for "Latino/a/x students" as "an opportunity to come together and acknowledge Latin accomplishments in the spirit and traditions of culture." Similarly, the Black Graduation Celebration encourages students to celebrate all "that is representative of Black/African American and African tradition, heritage, culture, and legacy."

Jim and Matt peel back the curtain of Saturday's stacked UFC 285 card on today's episode of UFC Unfiltered with three special guests — middleweight Bo Nickal, welterweight Shavkat Rakhmonov, and gambling expert Gianni “The Greek” Karalis. After Bo shares his mindset going into his highly-anticipated UFC debut against Jamie Pickett, the 27-year-old wrestling prodigy explains how being raised by a mom with an amateur boxing background and a dad with decades of wrestling experience fostered his desire to venture into the world of mixed martial arts. Matt and Jim then run through some of their picks from the main card of UFC 285 before their chat with unbeaten Shavkat Rakhmonov and his translator. While Shavkat admits that a fight against Khamzat Chimaev would be an entertaining matchup between two undefeated beasts, the UFC's first-ever Kazakhstani fighter insists that he remains keenly focused on Saturday's fight against 7th-ranked welterweight Geoff Neal and taking fights that will inch him closer towards a title shot. Riding an impressive winning streak of accurately-placed bets in the UFC's first two months of 2023, Gianni “the Greek” caps off today's show with the rationale for his red-hot takes from the prelims on up to Saturday's highly-anticipated main event featuring heavyweights Jon Jones and Ciryl Gane.

A Kazakhstani judo player bit a Belgium judo player on the calf well trying to escape an armbar. We then go into the -57kg finals in Tel Aviv. With an all Canadian final. Where Klimkait finally beat Deguchi with a throw. But with it not being without some controversy in the end. We finish up talking about the Clarisse Agbegnenou comeback troubles. Some of you may or may not know but she signed a sponsorship deal with Mizuno, but the French national team is sponsored by Adidas. At this tournament she decided to wear her Mizuno sponsored Gi. In doing this the French team decided to punish her by taking away all her government sponsored funding.

Hello, is this Pizza Hut? Excellent. My name is Ben Shapiro. Conservative thought leader. Prominent white YouTuber. The Muggsy Bogues of the intellectual dark Web. And—look, it's just a fact—I would like to order some pizza pie. If you are triggered by that request, I do not care. I truly do not. Now let's discuss conditions. First, thank you for agreeing to debate me. Typically, in fora such as this, I am met with ad-hominem mudslinging, anything from “You racist creep” or “Is that your real voice?” to raucous schoolyard laughter and threats of the dreaded “toilet swirly.” However, your willingness to engage with me over the phone on the subject of pizza shows an intellectual fortitude and openness to dangerous ideas which reflects highly on your character. Huzzah, good sir. Huzzah. Second, any pizza I order will be male. None of this “Our pizza identifies as trans-fluid-pan-poly”—no. Pizza is a boy. With a penis. It's that simple. It's been true for all of human history, from Plato to Socrates to Mr. Mistoffelees, and any attempt to rewrite the pillars of Western thought will be met with a hearty “Fuh!” by yours truly. And, trust me, that is not a fate you wish to meet. Now. With regard to my topping preference. I have eaten from your pizzeria in times past, and it must be said: your pepperoni is embarrassingly spicy. Frankly, it boggles the mind. I mean, what kind of drugs are you inhaling over there? Pot?! One bite of that stuff and I had to take a shower. So tread lightly when it comes to spice, my good man. You do not want to see me at my most epic. Like the great white hero of Zack Snyder's classic film “300,” I will kick you. Onions, peppers—no, thank you. If I wanted veggies, I'd go to a salad bar. I'm not some sort of vegan, Cory Booker weirdo. And your efforts to Michelle Obama-ize the great American pizza pie are, frankly, hilarious. Though not as funny as the impressively named P'Zone—when I finally figured out that genuinely creative pun, I laughed until I cried and peed. A true Spartan admits defeat, and I must admit that, in this instance, your Hut humor slayed me, Dennis Miller style. And, with that, you have earned my order. Congratulations. Ahem. Without further ado, I would like your smallest child pizza, no sauce, extra cheese. Hello? Aha. A hang-up. Another triggered lib, bested by logic. Damn it. I'm fucking starving. I think that it's ok to be sexually aroused by Pokemon. More so, I think it should be encouraged in the games and anime, and GameFreak should lean into it. Firstly, some Pokemon are shown to be much smarter then humans. Kadabra has been said to have an IQ over 5000, which is gigantically more than the definition of an animal, which have an IQ between 0 (Worms and Fish) and 65 (Apes and Octopus). Thus, they are smarter then needed to be able to give consent. Secondly, the argument could be made they are not as empathetic as humans, and thus can't give consent. This is proven not to be true numerous times in the anime, by watching Meowth. In Season 2, Episode 16 of the Pokemon show, it is established that he is no smarter or different then regular Pokemon, he simply learnt to walk by watching a dance rehearsal and later learnt English through a picture book. Throughout the following seasons, it's shown how he schemes, laughs, cries and even at points, deceives people into thinking he is a human (in order to steal Ash's Pikachu of course). And the last piece of damning evidence - a folk tale in the Canalave Library (Pokémon Diamond and Pearl) literally STATES that humans used to marry Pokémon. This was removed in the English translation. Gamefreak, if you wanted us to fuck Pokémon, just say it. Conclusively, Pokemon aren't animals. They are intelligent, with empathy and kindness, and should be treated as equals. Denying them the right to have sex with humans removes their freedom, which is racist, and frankly, unamerican.

I had a “beseda” with the Entrepreneur, Dána Utembayeva. We discussed her life in Astana, Kazakhstan, the history of Koreans in Kazakhstan, different types of immigrants, free education in communist Russia, negative effects of Borat on the Kazakhstani community, why she chose to immigrate to Maine over Pennsylvania, her bouts with dual identity crisis, individualistic Western values, cutting family out of your life, being in a mixed relationship, taking pride in representing our ethnicity, people equating Covid mandate as fascism, and the recent unrest in Kazakhstan.
The Kazakhstani government is implementing promising reforms that could make Kazakhstan Central Asia's leading example of religious freedom. USCIRF has recommended the U.S. State Department place Kazakhstan on its Special Watch List, and previously USCIRF's Tier 2 List, since 2013 in response to deteriorating religious freedom conditions stemming from the passage of its religion law in 2011. However, proposed amendments to that law could significantly improve the religious freedom landscape in Kazakhstan. USCIRF is deeply invested in Central Asian religious freedom reform and has engaged directly with the Kazakhstani government. In recent years, the Commission has traveled multiple times to Kazakhstan and other countries in the region, released numerous reports with policy recommendations, and held a hearing on religious freedom conditions in Russia and Central Asia in September 2020. Today we are joined by USCIRF Senior Policy Analyst Jason Morton to discuss recent reform efforts and the religious landscape in Kazakhstan more broadly. Read the 2021 Annual Report chapter on Kazakhstan available in English, Kazakh, and Russian.
