Big Tech's $5 Trillion AI Debt: Big Enough to Fail?

(Dreamstime)

By Lee Barney | Wednesday, 22 July 2026 01:22 PM EDT


Massive artificial intelligence data-center projects could stall as Big Tech’s opaque financing commitments collide with falling technology shares, Wall Street analysts warn.

Second-quarter reports from Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon and Meta — along with Oracle’s latest disclosures — may begin revealing cracks in an AI buildout whose full financial burden is difficult for investors to measure, says Mitch Feierstein, CEO of Glacier Environmental Fund Ltd. and author of “Planet Ponzi.”

Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and Oracle carried $1.65 trillion in off-balance-sheet commitments tied largely to data-center leases, graphics processing unit supply contracts, and servers, according to a Nikkei analysis of recent financial statements.

That exceeded the roughly $1.35 trillion in debt Nikkei counted on their balance sheets.

Rubio Signals No Letup in US Strikes on Iran

By Charlie McCarthy | Wednesday, 22 July 2026 10:56 AM EDT


The United States will "continue to protect shipping" in the Strait of Hormuz for as long as Iran tries to exercise control over the international waterway, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Wednesday.

Speaking to reporters during the Association of Southeast Asian Nations foreign ministers' meeting in the Philippines, Rubio said the Trump administration remains open to diplomacy but will not tolerate Iranian attacks on commercial shipping through one of the world's most critical energy corridors.

"We remain open to working it out in a negotiated way," Rubio said. "But right now, they don't seem to be serious about that. And so, we're going to continue to protect shipping."

Rubio added that the United States will continue degrading Iran's ability to threaten international commerce.

"At the same time, we are going to — when the opportunity presents itself — degrade their ability to target global shipping," he said.

WASHINGTON—The U.S. government intends to push back against the Chinese communist regime’s transnational repression on U.S. soil and defend vulnerable groups such as Falun Gong practitioners, the State Department told The Epoch Times.

“We are committed to safeguarding our sovereignty, keeping our communities safe, and defending individuals from the overreach of foreign governments and regimes trying to silence, intimidate, harass, harm, or coerce individuals within our borders,” a State Department spokesperson said on July 21.

“CCP [Chinese Communist Party] repression extends far beyond China’s borders, as Chinese officials or their proxies threaten, harass, and intimidate critics of the CCP overseas, including in the United States.”

Falun Gong, a meditation discipline based on the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance, quickly spread by word of mouth to reach an estimated 70 million to 100 million practitioners during the 1990s.

On July 20, Falun Gong practitioners marked 27 years of persecution by the CCP.

“The CCP promoted the Falun Gong movement in the 1990s, but since then has waged a campaign to eradicate the spiritual practice for political reasons, targeting practitioners and their families in China and around the world,” the State Department official said.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has certainly been on a tear.

We reported earlier how his team had tracked down an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)-linked crypto wallet and frozen $140 million. Bessent also found the money man for the Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, and had other fun prepared for the Ayatollah.

But he wasn't just seizing Iran's money; he was cleaning up a lot of the mess left by the Biden administration.

Bessent explained their effort to make sure that money was going out to the proper people, and how they've, through their new process. That stopped the payouts to dead people of about $100 million. "It's common sense," he told Fox's Maria Bartiromo.

Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent is at it again, tracking down Iranian regime's cash and grabbing or freezing it with Operation Economic Fury, the financial side of the actions against the regime.

Bessent explained how they've been tracking accounts all over the world, and now they've frozen a crypto wallet containing about $130 million linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

The White House Correspondents’ Association will give an award to the Secret Service officer who helped put a stop to the gunman who attempted to rush its annual dinner in April.

Victor Gonzales, the Secret Service officer who stopped alleged gunman Cole Allen from barging into the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner at the Washington Hilton hotel, will receive the “President’s Award for Exceptional Service to the WHCA” at the rescheduled dinner on Friday, July 24. Staff at the Washington Hilton will also receive the award.

“The WHCA is deeply grateful that law enforcement officials prevented the armed suspect from entering the ballroom,” Weijia Jiang, president of the WHCA and CBS News correspondent, said in a statement. “Officer Gonzales played a significant role when he ran toward danger so that thousands of others could make it home safely. His courage stemmed from a dedication to service, which we are looking forward to honoring this week.”

White House takes victory lap over discovery of 6,600 noncitizens on New Jersey voter rolls

The White House is having an “I told you so” moment after New Jersey‘s Democratic governor announced she was removing 6,600 noncitizens from her state’s voter roll following 400 of them casting ballots in past federal elections.

“Democrats and their media allies have repeatedly said it is impossible for noncitizens to register to vote, let alone cast a ballot,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told the Washington Examiner. “Time and again, they have been proven wrong. As President [Donald] Trump has said, there is nothing more important than the integrity of our elections. And this latest incident underscores the absolute necessity of the SAVE America Act.”

Jackson added that American voters “deserve to have confidence that our elections are safe and secure” and that Trump “will never stop fighting to make that happen and all patriotic Americans should join in his effort.”

OP-EDS

‘No deal’: JD Vance’s Iran fantasy could cost America everything

By John D. O’Connor
Published July 21, 2026 6:00am ET

The naivete of a sophomore isolationist vice president in JD Vance has at the least proven that the United States has no chance to reach a satisfactory agreement of peace with Iran. Is seeking Iran’s de facto surrender our only successful strategy? It appears so.

After five weeks of amazingly successful bombing, the following 13 weeks — of troubled negotiation of a highly aspirational “agreement to agree” — should have seared on our collective cerebrum that a deal, even a bad one, with the allegedly representative Iranian regime is, at bottom, impossible.

If the $6 billion conned from our credulous negotiators is taken as a lesson, it will be well worth it to the security of the Western world, as we seek a more realistic approach to a jihadi regime.

State Department links Cuba’s push for ‘guerilla warfare’ to American leftist movement

By Hudson Crozier
Published July 21, 2026 3:31pm ET | Updated July 21, 2026 3:47pm ET

VIDEO

A State Department report says American leftists are serving Cuba‘s goals for “urban guerilla warfare and terrorism” through a regime-linked activist group.

The Venceremos Brigade spent decades building relations with elected Democrats, labor leaders, and activists by giving supporters propagandistic field trips to Cuba and weapons training, the State Department said Monday in a 100-page report on the communist state’s influence. The report traces financial and political ties between the Venceremos Brigade and the Black Lives Matter cause, Democratic Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and others, describing how the group “brought some 10,000 American activists to Cuba” since Cuban officials helped form it in 1969. 

“Since its creation, the Brigade has served as a tool for the Cuban regime to sponsor a wide range of subversive activities against the United States — ranging from influence campaigns to espionage and guerilla violence,” the State Department said. “It has been linked to the formation of some of the most infamous far-left terrorist movements in U.S. history.”
