America's nerves are twitching — so it's time go abroad
America is antsy. Its nerves are twitching. Anger rising. Jobs changing. Lives aging, finances shrinking, homes switching, politics muddying. Its wardrobe's diminishing. Prices rising. CBS failing. CNN who cares. Stores closing. It's cranky. Schools fighting. Religion disappearing. English disappearing. Other languages appearing. Crazies shooting. Students marching. Kids disobeying. Foreigners entrapping. Diners in bus lanes. Commies encroaching. Drugstores getting robbed. Rules muddying. Longtime ways crumbling. And our lawmakers? Three little bears running for mayor. Advertisement It's become Our country tis of what? Sneakers are dress shoes. T-shirts are black-tie. Guns today are part of wardrobe. Dessert's a puff of pot. DAs let crazies go free. Roadways are for bicycles, motorcycles, deliveries, scaffolds, double parking. Movies are re-dos. Politicians are who? Get to packing Result? This summer our country's moving. Traveling. Not to Arkansas or — oy — Tennessee. The USA's schlepping abroad. So, if still home scratching for day-old bagels or brownies, let Little Mother clue you about airlines today. They're negotiating. Do not tell me you don't know about it. They are newly doing as well as Biden. Hunter Biden. Advertisement One traveler I know well bought a low-class plane ticket. If he could buy cheapo passage stuffed inside a rubber tire, he'd take it. At check-in he's told an extra charge could be tacked on if he wants to upgrade. So he pays the extra charge and his behind squats in first class across the ocean. The country of Qatar bought London's USA embassy which, for some reason, needed a more secure building. The new buyers are keeping our rooftop's gilded eagle. Just telling you what I know. They've turned the building into the $2,000-a-night Grosvenor Square Chancery Rosewood Hotel. Originally designed by Eero Saarinen, who also did JFK's TWA terminal, it'll open to guests in a few weeks. Advertisement Paris is dressing up. $2,000 a night. Want a super room not overlooking your john it's $4,000 a night. The Ritz's prices now look like a Hamptons timeshare. Hotel rooms in Europe — $1,000 to $1,400 a night. Three-day stay is norm but they throw in breakfast. Itchy for the Amalfi Coast? It's $5,000 a night. Rome, heating up faster than Hell's Kitchen, has hit 120 degrees. Perspired travelers are pushing north. Shoving now to Switzerland, Bavaria, cooler Scandinavia. Also they're discovering Japan. It's cheaper. Safe. Clean. Efficient. Nice. But such a long schlep that visiting the moon is shorter. And pay attention — nobody, nobody — is lining up for China. If Mao had great grandchildren even they wouldn't buy a rice cake in downtown Shanghai. However, the once greatest shopping city on the planet — Hong Kong — is still a major destination. Advertisement They're shipshape The big transport? Ships. Once, bus tours. Now cruises. Ships that squeeze in 6,000 passengers, 47 restaurants, bowling alleys, skating rinks, swimming pools, movies, lectures, shows, wall-climbing try to make you believe you're on a private yacht. All great — until some steward loses your drawers in the laundry. Listen, I wish you well. Have a nice time. Betty Grable, Hollywood's famous long ago beauty queen, once told me: 'All I want in life is to take a five-day ocean sail to England and have a different guy make love to me every night.' OK by me. Definitely beats a Remsenburg time share.

Meta bans millions of WhatsApp accounts linked to scam operations
Meta took down 6.8 million WhatsApp accounts tied to scam operations on Tuesday after victims reported financial fraud schemes. The company said many of the scam sources were based in Southeast Asia at criminal scam centers. 'Based on our investigative insights into the latest enforcement efforts, we proactively detected and took down accounts before scam centers were able to operationalize them,' Meta said in a Tuesday release. 'These scam centers typically run many scam campaigns at once — from cryptocurrency investments to pyramid schemes. There is always a catch and it should be a red flag for everyone: you have to pay upfront to get promised returns or earnings,' they wrote. In an effort to ensure users are protected, the company said it would flag when people were added to group messages by someone who isn't in their contact list and urge individuals to pause before engaging with unfamiliar messages where they're encouraged to communicate on other social platforms. 'Scams may start with a text message or on a dating app, then move to social media, private messaging apps and ultimately payment or crypto platforms,' Meta said. 'In the course of just one scam, they often try to cycle people through many different platforms to ensure that any one service has only a limited view into the entire scam, making it more challenging to detect,' the company added. The Tuesday release highlighted an incident with Cambodian users urging people to enlist in a rent a scooter pyramid scheme with an initial text message generated by ChatGPT. The message contained a link to a WhatsApp chat which redirected the target to Telegram where they were told to like TikTok videos. 'We banned ChatGPT accounts that were generating short recruitment-style messages in English, Spanish, Swahili, Kinyarwanda, German, and Haitian Creole. These messages offered recipients high salaries for trivial tasks — such as liking social media posts — and encouraged them to recruit others,' OpenAI wrote in their June report focused on disrupting malicious artificial intelligence efforts. 'The operation appeared highly centralized and likely originated from Cambodia. Using AI-powered translation tools, we were able to investigate and disrupt the campaign's use of OpenAI services swiftly,' the company added. The Federal Trade Commission has reported a steady increase in social media fraud. The agency said more money was reported lost to fraud originating on social media than any other method of contact from January 2021 to June 2023 — with losses totaling $2.7 billion.

Wealthy Americans are quietly buying their way out of US with ‘golden' visa programs
America's elite are increasingly drawn to 'golden' visa programs with new opportunities emerging in sunny and desirable locations. The latest countries to be included in the trend are some Caribbean Islands — namely, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, and St. Lucia. Advertisement The islands offer citizenship-by-investment (CBI) programs, also dubbed 'golden passports.' The visa can be obtained by making one of two qualifying investments. The first is 'a direct contribution to the Government (commonly known as the contribution to the Economic Diversification Fund route), starting at U.S. $200,000 for a single applicant,' according to the Commonwealth of Dominica. The second is 'the purchase of pre-approved real estate at a minimum value of U.S. $200,000.' Advertisement Many Caribbean Islands do not have wealth, gift, inheritance, foreign income or capital gains taxes. The CBI program allows investors to retain their existing citizenship and grants visa-free entry to most countries around the world. America's elite are using 'golden' visa programs to reside in more desirable locations across the globe. Earth Pixel LLC. – Nadia Dyson, owner of Luxury Locations Real Estate in Antiqua, told the BBC there has been a surge in business. Advertisement 'Up to 70% of all buyers right now are wanting citizenship, and the vast majority are from the U.S.,' Dyson said. 'This time last year, it was all lifestyle buyers and a few CBI. Now they're all saying, 'I want a house with citizenship.' We've never sold so many before,' she told the BBC. The Caribbean Islands feature multiple countries in which America's wealthiest citizens want to explore next, including Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, and St. Lucia. SeanPavonePhoto – New Zealand recently saw a surge of Americans seeking its 'Active Investor Plus' visa, Fox News Digital previously reported. Advertisement In April, the government relaxed its visa rules to attract more high-net-worth individuals, with such changes as removing an English language requirement and reducing the amount of time required to spend in New Zealand. In under three months, 189 golden visa applications were received, while previous applications were at 116 submissions over the span of more than two-and-a-half years, Reuters reported. Nearly half the applications were submitted by U.S. citizens. Former New Zealand Minister for Economic Development Stuart Nash, co-founder of Nash Kelly Global, told Fox News Digital the visas are becoming more popular. 'There's a lot of global uncertainty at the moment,' he said last month. 'You've got a war going on in Europe, you've got the tinderbox, which is the Middle East. You've got a change in the U.S. administration,' said Nash, 'which is causing more polarization than we've seen in a long, long time.' He added, 'In the past, people were looking for tax havens. Now they're looking for safe havens for them[selves] and their family.'
