Podcast host Joe Rogan once again courted controversy this week when he questioned the racial identity of a prominent African-American professor, saying it was “very strange” that anyone would call themselves Black unless they’re from the “darkest place” of Africa. During Tuesday’s broadcast of the immensely popular “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Rogan brought on clinical psychologist and cultural commentator Jordan Peterson, a fellow charter member of the so-called Intellectual Dark Web. While the conversation went through many hilariously weird turns—such as Peterson’s confident claim that there is no such thing as climate—it was the pair’s discussion on race that really raised […]

If the Fed stays the course, it could amount to a dramatic change to the macroeconomic environment. More to the point, it might be perceived as a major change by investors and employers, who would shift their own choices accordingly. Among other impacts, higher Fed interest rates usually draw capital away from speculative sectors because savers and investors are drawn to safer returns in government bonds. At the margins, this will inevitably pull value out of both tokens and crypto startups (along with tech and venture capital more generally). Source link
83-year-old Justice Stephen Breyer will retire from the US Supreme Court at the end of the current term after 27 years on the bench. Breyer, who was nominated by former President Bill Clinton, is currently one of the three liberal justices serving on the highest court of the land. Breyer’s retirement while the Democrats control the Senate will allow Joe Biden to appoint a far-left justice to replace him.

The United Arab Emirates, on Wednesday, said it was assessing risks that funds for banned weapons could be funnelled through the regional commercial and trade hub, part of its efforts to avoid making a dirty money watch-list ahead of a review in March, Reuters reports.

Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer said Tuesday on FNC’s “Hannity” that China, Russia, and the Ukraine “absolutely” have compromising intelligence on the family of President Joe Biden. Schweizer, the author of Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, said, “What we discovered is that some $31 million were provided to the Biden family by five individuals in China.” He continued, “Those individuals all have ties to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence. So what has been a story about corruption and cronyism increasingly is a story about spying, espionage, and national security.” Schweizer added, “This demands investigation. This is not just about politicians getting money from their office.” Hannity asked, […]

Eta Carinae was once one of the brightest stars in the night sky—a light that seafarers would use as a guide along with the North Star. Then, in the middle of the 19th century, it seemed to abruptly disappear after having one of the most famous violent outbursts in astronomy, the 1843 Great Eruption, which released as much visible light as a supernova. Scientists have now used images taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-Ray Observatory to create an exquisitely detailed 3D model for how the Eta Carinae eruption unfolded more than 7,500 light years away.

Los Angeles Times – Aug 12, 1991 A search of the patent records turned up a 1994 Chinese patent (CN1106283A) for these ‘toothache-killer cigarettes’: The toothache cigarette is prepared from paniculate swallowwort root, dahurian angelica root, asarum herb, European verbena verb, turtle shell, honeycomb and tobacco shreds through mixing and grinding the first six, mixing with tobacco shreds, rolling into cigarettes or loading in sealed box or bag. Smoking it can immediately stop toothache with effective rate of 98% as the active components in Chinese-medicinal materials are released when heated.

A Boston man has been shunted from the top of a heart transplant list with doctors saying that it is because he refused to take the COVID vaccine, and thus has less chance of survival. CBS Boston reports that DJ Furguson was on the waiting list to receive a heart at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, but has since been taken off it. Furguson’s father told reporters that the COVID vaccine is “kind of against his basic principles, he doesn’t believe in it. It’s a policy they are enforcing and so because he won’t get the shot, they took him […]
By Ven Ram, Bloomberg Markets Live analyst and commentator In the past few years, you could have closed your eyes and gone long beta. Preferably even higher beta if you felt a bit more adventurous. And the markets would have rewarded you with returns far, far higher than even your rose-tinted marketing material could have possibly projected. Fast forward three weeks into the new year, and those portfolios and closet-index trades have taken it on their knuckles. Given Monday’s stock rebound, the mood may have turned again for now, though traders may prefer to revive their best bets — short or […]
Boris Johnson’s comments come as tensions run high on the Russian-Ukrainian border Not a single member of NATO is ready to send a large fighting force to Ukraine in the event of a Russian invasion, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has told MPs. Addressing parliament on Tuesday, Johnson said that “the British Army leads the NATO battle group in Estonia, and if Russia invades Ukraine, we would look to contribute to any new NATO deployments to protect our allies in Europe.” However, the Prime Minister stated that while “many people would yearn to send active, physical support in the form of […]
(Natural News) The January 24 episode of Free4eva Media discusses how citizens are pushing back against vaccine mandates as data does not add up: The Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) is still spreading, and governments still continue to promote dangerous, experimental vaccines as the best way to fight the pandemic. As governments continue to impose these mandates and offer incentives to those who take the plunge, they remain quiet regarding the massive numbers of side effects that have been reported. COVID-19 vaccination has also not prevented the spread of the virus; if anything, it is contributing to its proliferation. Since the beginning of […]
Amid heightened tensions between the US and Russia fuelled by unsubstantiated claims from America and its NATO allies that a Russian invasion of Ukraine is an increasing possibility, Joe Biden said he would consider sanctioning President Vladimir Putin directly, warning of “enormous consequences” in the event of an incursion.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is a politician by profession, so he easily puts politics above all else, even when it concerns the fight against a virus that has killed 870,000 Americans, including 61,000 of his constituents. “Without a shred of clinical data to support its decision, the Biden Administration has revoked the emergency use authorization for lifesaving monoclonal antibody treatments,” DeSantis tweeted after the FDA’s Monday night announcement that it was suspending approval of the two main therapeutics offered by the centers he opened with great fanfare just last week. DeSantis went so far as to say, “This indefensible edict takes […]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has announced her run for reelection despite the fact it could mean her serving out her final congressional years in the minority party.

A massive power outage was reported on Tuesday across several Eurasia countries that left millions in the dark. Reuters reports Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan found themselves without power today. All three ex-Soviet republics have interconnected power grids connected to Russia. The source of the disruption could be due to Kazakhstan’s North-South power line, which links its two neighbors to power stations in northern Kazakhstan and the Russian power grid. On Tuesday morning, Kazakhstan Electricity Grid Operating Company (KEGOC) said “emergency imbalances” resulted in disruptions. “At 11:59 [05:59 GMT], due to a significant emergency imbalance created by the energy system of Central Asia, […]

Biden has authorised a $2.5 billion arms sale to Egypt as the country's human rights violations spiral out of control. The announcement comes as a video spread online showing scenes of torture within a police station in Cairo confirming what rights defenders have said for years – that torture of prisoners in Egypt is systematic and widespread. Details of the weapons deal have been announced just days before the US will decide whether to release a tranche of military aid suspended last year due to human rights concerns. In September last year the US released $170 million worth of military aid to Egypt and withheld […]

Joe Biden called Fox News reporter Peter Doocy a “stupid son of a bitch” on Monday despite last year warning that he wouldn’t tolerate “bullying of the media” in his administration.

By Marnix Arendshorst, Rabobank Macro Strategist focusing on Italy Summary In this piece we take a closer look at the Presidential elections in Italy that started this week and for which current PM Draghi is seen as a key candidate. We argue that the role of the President is more than just ceremonial: acting as a guarantor of stability in times of crisis, employing his or her informal power by moral suasion as Head of State and being the key ‘Representative of national unity’ with an important say in EU affairs. We look at some of the pros and cons of […]

(Natural News) The World Health Organization (WHO) said the B11529 omicron variant could spell the end of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in Europe. However, it warned against complacency as other variants could possibly emerge. WHO Regional Director for Europe Dr. Hans Kluge told Agence France-Presse (AFP) in a Jan. 23 interview: “It’s plausible that the region is moving toward a kind of pandemic endgame.” However, he projected that once the current COVID-19 surge in Europe driven by omicron subsides, “there will be, for quite some weeks and months, a global immunity either thanks to the vaccine or because […]

All right guys, let’s talk about it…. your hair is thinning. You see it, I see it, and your friends definitely see it because they won’t stop making jokes. Your mom will never admit it. She’ll always say you look handsome, but I know you can see the signs from those long and in-depth mirror stares. But you’re not alone, my friend. When I was in my early 20’s I started to notice hair loss when I’d wake up and there would be hair all over my pillow. When I washed my hair with shampoo, I’d see loose hairs all over […]

As a result of the ban, Turkish exports to Saudi Arabia declined from $2.7 billion in 2018 to $189 million in 2021.
