Your blood sugar is aging you faster than cigarettes or alcohol.

It wakes you up at 3 AM, destroys insulin and fat loss, and drives fatty liver.

It's estimated almost 2000 people joined the queue for the opening of Belfast's newest store earlier, Sephora. The beauty industry is worth about 30 billion pounds to the economy. It's big business, which continues to grow and support jobs. Claire Graham joined the queue.

@RepThomasMassie I just wanted to thank you, sir. I’ve never voted Republican, but I damn sure appreciate you. Democrats are lost. Keep doing what you’re doing. How about a run in 2028? You’d be my first Republican vote. 😊

🇮🇳 🇺🇸 Response from MEA India to USA.

Statement by Official Spokesperson, August 04, 2025

India has been targeted by the United States and the European Union for importing oil from Russia after the commencement of the Ukraine conflict. In fact, India began importing from Russia because traditional supplies were diverted to Europe after the outbreak of the conflict. The United States at that time actively encouraged such imports by India for strengthening global energy markets stability.

2. India’s imports are meant to ensure predictable and affordable energy costs to the Indian consumer. They are a necessity compelled by global market situation. However, it is revealing that the very nations criticizing India are themselves indulging in trade with Russia. Unlike our case, such trade is not even a vital national compulsion.

3. The European Union in 2024 had a bilateral trade of Euro 67.5 billion in goods with Russia. In addition, it had trade in services estimated at Euro 17.2 billion in 2023. This is significantly more than India’s total trade with Russia that year or subsequently. European imports of LNG in 2024, in fact, reached a record 16.5mn tonnes, surpassing the last record of 15.21mn tonnes in 2022.

4. Europe-Russia trade includes not just energy, but also fertilizers, mining products, chemicals, iron and steel and machinery and transport equipment.

5. Where the United States is concerned, it continues to import from Russia uranium hexafluoride for its nuclear industry, palladium for its EV industry, fertilizers as well as chemicals.

6. In this background, the targeting of India is unjustified and unreasonable. Like any major economy, India will take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security.

Kamala is proposing an *INSANE* 25% tax on unrealized capital gains.

Imagine buying shares for $100,000, and their value rises to $150,000.

Under Kamala's plan, you'd owe taxes on the $50,000 gain, even though you haven't sold the shares or made any actual profit.

Now, imagine the stock's value drops back to $100,000 the following year.

The gain you were taxed on has vanished.

You’ve already paid a 25% tax on a gain that no longer exists, leaving you with a financial loss and no real benefit.

Taxing unrealized gains would force investors to sell off assets to cover their tax bills, hurting long-term investment and economic growth.

This isn’t just risky; it’s a recipe for a stock market crash and another Great Depression.
