India Virus Outbreak, Congresswoman Attacked & US Dollar Crash!

January 28, 2026

SINCE WE LAST SPOKE!! 🍿🥤

## **WORLD CUP BOYCOTTS**

Imagine a **World Cup without Europe** — because that’s now being openly discussed.

Germany’s largest party leader said he won’t rule out a boycott, while senior figures in German football want a serious debate. Scottish MP **Hannah Kennedy-Bardell** has floated “radical action,” and a **Dutch petition has passed 150,000 signatures** calling for a boycott over Trump’s immigration policies.

Two UK MPs — from **opposing parties** — have backed the idea, and even **Piers Morgan** said if enough top teams pulled out, it would force change.

It’s still unlikely… but even **one major team** boycotting would be historic.

And interestingly — over **70% of you on Instagram said Europe SHOULD boycott**.

What do you think?

## **CONGRESSWOMAN ATTACKED**

Things got tense at a Minnesota town hall when **Rep. Ilhan Omar** was rushed by a man with a syringe.

The suspect, **Anthony James Kazmierczak**, sprayed an unknown liquid, shouted “you must resign,” and was tackled by security. Witnesses say the liquid had a strong chemical smell. He’s now facing assault charges.

Omar didn’t back down — she stood her ground, later saying she survived civil war as a child and won’t be intimidated.

Then Trump weighed in… and instead of condemning the attack, he said:

“She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her.”

Now some online are claiming it was staged — **with zero evidence**.

The attacker, meanwhile, had a long history of posting anti-Omar content.

Was Trump out of line here — or fair game?

## **INDIA VIRUS OUTBREAK**

Because 2026 needed more chaos — **India is dealing with a Nipah virus outbreak**.

At least **5 confirmed cases**, including healthcare workers, have triggered airport screening across parts of Asia. Nipah isn’t new, but it’s terrifying — **fatality rates can reach 75%**, and there’s **no cure**.

The good news: it doesn’t spread easily and requires close contact with bodily fluids.

Still — the WHO lists it as a **priority threat**, so yeah… not ideal.

## **EU WANTS MORE INDIANS**

In wild timing, the **EU and India just announced a historic deal** after **20 years of negotiations**.

It covers trade, supply chains, tariffs — and crucially — **easier movement for Indian students, researchers, and skilled workers into Europe**. The EU is even opening a **Legal Gateway Office in India** to support migration.

Ursula von der Leyen called it “the mother of all deals.”

At a time when the US is tightening immigration, Europe is doing the opposite.

Which approach wins long-term?

## **US DOLLAR CRASH**

The **US dollar just hit its lowest level in four years**.

Investors are getting spooked by unpredictability — Greenland threats, tariffs, clashes with the Fed, Venezuela, Canada trade threats… and now **another possible government shutdown**.

Markets hate chaos — and right now, chaos is undefeated.

That’s why **gold and silver are exploding**.

We don’t have time for the full economics lecture — but yeah, this isn’t great.

## **ICE GOES INTERNATIONAL**

ICE is now going… **international**.

According to AP, ICE agents will provide **security for US officials at the Winter Olympics in Italy**, including JD Vance and Marco Rubio.

Not immigration enforcement — bodyguard duty.

Still, Milan’s mayor is furious, calling ICE “a militia that kills” and saying they’re not welcome.

February is already loading…

## **DOOMSDAY CLOCK**

And finally — the **Doomsday Clock** just moved closer to midnight than ever before.

We’re now at **85 seconds to midnight**.

Scientists cite rising aggression from the US, Russia and China, nuclear risks, climate collapse, AI misuse and biotech threats. The clock isn’t a prediction — it’s a warning.

They say it *can* be turned back…

But only if global leaders stop acting like it’s a zero-sum game.

So yeah.

Happy New Year, I guess 😭
