One Year, Big Results! How Javier Milei Freed Markets, and Reduced Inflation
One year ago, libertarian Javier Milei was elected president of Argentina. How has it worked out Amazingly well! In his first year, Milei has already cut government spending by 30%, eliminated entire ministries, fired thousands of government workers, slashed subsidies, and deregulated the economy. Today, inflation is down, the federal budget is in surplus, and the country’s housing shortage crisis is over. “When Milei came into power,” says Ian Vasquez of the Cato Institute, “There was 40% poverty rate. There was an annual inflation of over 200%. Now inflation is down. The economy started to recover... Milei is showing that his libertarian policies are working." Years of big government had left Argentina in crisis. Pundits and the media claimed Milei couldn’t fix any of that. They were wrong. Milei’s success shows that freedom works! Maybe our politicians will learn from him.

The ESG Collapse: Al Gore, Intel, BlackRock, and the Failed Promise of “Sustainable” Investing
https://youtu.be/ZfKVCcV-WcQ?si=EzfHeJeVp76-Nsac
For years, investment firms pressured companies to hire people of certain races and genders, and pushed “sustainability.” That has hurt returnsInvestments that claim to be “sustainable” have been underperforming. It's because companies that embrace “ESG” woke investing end up prioritizing politics over innovation. Intel, once a leader in the tech world, wasted millions on ESG goals. Now, it lags behind its competitors. Its stock is down more than 70%. “You have a company that’s absolutely failing!” Says Matt Cole, CEO of Strive investment managing. Even BlackRock, which led the “ESG” push, now backs away from ESG investments. “What you're seeing today,” says Cole, “is ESG funds shuttering at record speed.” Our new video explains why

Many colleges no longer teach critical thinking. They teach censorship. And victimhood. These ideas make students depressed and anxious. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— The new documentary, “The Coddling of the American Mind,” ( thecoddlingmovie.com ) tells stories of students who fell for the indoctrination. Before college, Kimi Katiti was full of confidence. But at the Art Institute of California, she learned she was a victim. “I was introduced to microaggressions,” she explains. “This set of thought processes was really unhealthy and was making me miserable.” Lucy Kross at Stanford was taught that Ben Shapiro’s ideas "put black, brown, trans, queer, and Muslim students at risk." She found that embracing woke language made her more popular. “When I started to use the vocabulary of like, marginalized, intersectional, hegemonic…People just kind of smiled a little bit more.” Over time, she, and others, concluded that such ideas hurt her. Our new video looks at their experience navigating campus indoctrination, and how they escaped it.

People have been “black pilled” to think the world is doomed. Michael Malice says there’s hope. In his book, “The White Pill,” he argues that tyrannical regimes, like the Soviet Union, can be toppled. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— Today, media and universities distort history, and push socialism. It used to be worse. The New York Times once covered up Stalin’s famine, even as millions starved. Why? Malice says it’s because NYT star reporter Walter Duranty liked communism’s utopian promises, and status he got from his exclusive Stalin interviews. Malice says the fall of the Soviet Union should give us hope that America can resist the universities and media’s brainwashing – or any tyranny that someone is “black pilled” about. Our video above explains Malice’s “white pill” and why you might want to take it.
Why Government Can’t Build Broadband or Charging Stations… Or Anything!
The government promised to expand broadband, build hundreds of thousands of EV chargers, and to bring back semiconductor jobs. They delivered delays, waste, and failure. Why? Because they spend your money, not their own. After three years and $65 billion spent to expand broadband, not a single person has yet been connected. Also, two years into Biden's $7.5 billion EV charging stations initiative, which was supposed to build 500,000 stations, only seven have been built. The CHIPS Act promised to bring semiconductor jobs back to America. But the money got tied up in DEI quotas, climate pledges, and union mandates. When bureaucrats spend other people's money, they have little incentive to spend it carefully. Our new video explains why government should leave building things to the private sector.

America’s Stone Age Ports: How Unions Block Progress
At some ports, remarkable machines now move shipments with no humans in sight. That innovation upsets unions. International Longshoreman's Association president Harold Daggett says they'll soon strike if automation isn't completely banned. "If I don't get that, I'm not coming back to the table!” Daggett shouts. He has been clear about the harm that will impose on Americans. "Guy sell cars can't sell cars because the cars aren't coming in off the ships… constructions workers get laid off because the materials aren't coming in." The union boss wants to protect his union's jobs, but there's a cluelessness to his demands. Banning automation will also hurt his members. "They'll save some jobs today," economist Liya Palagashvili explains, “but they'll destroy a lot more jobs in the future." That's because shippers have choices. They'll just send goods to the more efficient, automated ports. That's just one of the things unions get wrong about automation. Our new video explores how automation will make the future safer and richer, if only unions get out of the way.

Help CSI Stamp Out Slavery In Sudan
Join us in our effort to free over 350 slaves. Listeners to the Eric Metaxas Show will remember our annual effort to free Christians who have been enslaved for simply acknowledging Jesus Christ as their Savior. As we celebrate the birth of Christ this Christmas, join us in giving new life to brothers and sisters in Sudan who have enslaved as a result of their faith.
Typical Aid for the Enslaved
- A ration of sorghum, a local nutrient-rich staple food
- A dairy goat
- A “Sack of Hope,” a survival kit containing essential items such as tarp for shelter, a cooking pan, a water canister, a mosquito net, a blanket, a handheld sickle, and fishing hooks.
- Release celebrations include prayer and gathering for a meal, and medical care for those in need. The CSI team provides comfort, encouragement, and a shoulder to lean on while they tell their stories and begin their new lives.
Thank you for your compassion Giving the Gift of Freedom and Hope to the Enslaved South Sudanese

Food For the Poor
Help us serve the poorest of the poor
Food For The Poor began in 1982 in Jamaica. Today, our interdenominational Christian ministry serves the poor in primarily 17 countries throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Thanks to our faithful donors, we are able to provide food, housing, healthcare, education, fresh water, emergency relief, micro-enterprise solutions and much more.
We are proud to have fed millions of people and provided more than 15.7 billion dollars in aid.
Our faith inspires us to be an organization built on compassion, and motivated by love. Our mission is to bring relief to the poorest of the poor in the countries where we serve.
We strive to reflect God’s unconditional love. It’s a sacrificial love that embraces all people regardless of race or religion. We believe that we can show His love by serving the “least of these” on this earth as Christ challenged us to do in Matthew 25. We pray that by God’s grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless.
