Austria’s far-right Freedom party scored a historic victory in the country’s parliamentary election on Sunday, with the result consolidating pro-Russian, anti-establishment forces in central Europe. The FPÖ was due to win just under 29 per cent of the ballots cast, according to a near final official estimate of the vote late on Sunday, bolstering the claim of its firebrand leader Herbert Kickl to become Austria’s next chancellor. It is the first time the FPÖ, which has embraced increasingly hardline and extremist policies on immigration and the war in Ukraine in recent years under Kickl, has come first in a national…

It always turns out the same way: No matter what people might say, the beginning of an interest rate cycle always causes a change in command in the stock market. You must always change your mind, hold your nose, and buy what look to be some of the weakest names — the stocks that do best when rates go down, especially the housing-related stocks. In our case, that means Best Buy , Stanley Black & Decker and Home Depot . These Club stocks — beaten down, disliked, without sponsorship — go from being ugly ducklings to beautiful must-own swans.

According to Dr. Becca Levy, author of Breaking the Age Code: How Your Beliefs About Aging Determine How…
The death of Hassan Nasrallah has caught President Joe Biden in a bind: While no one in the White House shed any tears for the longtime Hezbollah leader, the Israeli airstrike that took him out has only worsened fears of an escalating conflict, something Biden says he’s actively working to avoid. In the immediate aftermath of the operation, Biden was quick to alert the public that he hadn’t received any advance warning and wasn’t involved. It was only 24 hours later, after both Israel and Hezbollah had confirmed Nasrallah was killed, that Biden released a carefully worded statement declaring the…

Chicago, America’s third-biggest city, is on the verge of losing its only intercity bus terminal, jeopardizing access for many low-income, elderly and minority travelers with few other transportation options. It’s part of a nationwide trend. Greyhound’s lease for its terminal in Chicago expires next month. Not only would that mean Greyhound could leave the city, but FlixBus, Barons, Burlington Trailways and other lines that also operate from the terminal could be forced to leave as well. A representative for Greyhound told CNN that there are no proposals for a lease extension. The city, which regulates curbside pickup and drop-off locations,…
