When President Barack Obama bombed the first presidential debate of his 2012 re-election campaign, then-Vice President Joe Biden was tasked with triage: righting a campaign that appeared on the verge of sinking. On Wednesday night, with President Donald Trump’s illness and hospitalization with COVID-19 cementing public skepticism of his administration’s handling of the pandemic, Vice President Mike Pence faced a similar, though even more daunting challenge.

A Chinese video site copycat raised $2.1 million via an initial exchange offering in August 2019 – but it appears this last resort wasn’t enough to save the company from falling apart. On Sept. 24, the Shanghai Yangpu District Court disclosed an Aug. 31 ruling that video streaming company Dilidili has infringed the trademark of Nasdaq-listed Bilibili and must pay a fine of nearly $500,000.

Teenage environmental activist Greta Thunberg repeatedly accused world leaders of “not doing enough” to tackle climate change. Last year, her strongly worded “how dare you” speech in the UN attracted worldwide attention and made some politicians promise to act more swiftly to fight global warming. “We’ll plant 2 billion trees over the next ten years. That’s it. That’s the tweet”, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wrote […]
The CEO of publicly traded MicroStrategy (MSTR) shares why he started to feel like he was “sitting on a 500-lb block of ice” and how he came to bitcoin as a solution. MicroStrategy made waves when it announced in early August it was moving $500,000,000 in treasury reserves out of cash. At least $250 million were to be moved into bitcoin. Earlier this week, the company announced […]
Hours after it was revealed that President Donald Trump intentionally misled the American public about the threat posed by the coronavirus pandemic that has claimed nearly 200,000 lives nationwide, the president explained his actions by saying that he didn’t “want to scare people.” The daughter of a Trump supporter who died from COVID-19 told reporters on Thursday morning that she would rather her father have been […]
President Donald Trump, who launched his 2016 presidential campaign by fear-mongering about Mexican “rapists,” said with a straight face on Wednesday night that he intentionally misled the public on the coronavirus threat because he doesn’t “want to scare people.” Following his bombshell admission to legendary journalist Bob Woodward that he knowingly downplayed the virus even though he knew in early February that it was airborne, contagious, […]

Washington has maintained its deployment of troops in the Arab Republic despite having no legal grounds for it as per international law. The US has been ignoring criticism from Damascus and Moscow, which condemned both the illegal deployment and the White House’s “stealing” of the country’s resources.

The folks at Constellation Brands surely had a premonition that this was going to be a very tough year. “Seriously?” they must have thought, “there’s a virus that’s become a deadly pandemic, and it’s got the same name as our bestselling beer Corona? You have got to be kidding.” Unfortunately, this was no joke. Constellation is the sole U.S. importer of the Grupo Modelo beer brands, […]
Throughout the week, the Democratic National Convention has been on prime time TV every night. If you watched any of it, you would have heard some crazy things, but the REALLY crazy stuff was happening during the day, and the media didn’t show you any of that. Tucker Carlson recently exposed this in a must-see segment on his show. Here’s a partial transcript via FOX News: […]
The rags-to-riches legend of Cosmos from 2017 (turning a $17 million token sale into roughly $104 million by 2019) almost came to an end in February 2020 when the interoperability project’s co-founders engaged in a scathing feud. Jae Kwon accused Zaki Manian of blasphemy, arguing over whether this software was “godly” and demanding that Manian renounce his “self-professed godliness.” (This is a quasi-religious industry, after all.

President Donald Trump refused to say whether he found the civil rights icon John Lewis impressive, grumbling that the longtime Democratic congressman and voting rights pioneer didn’t come to his inauguration or State of the Union addresses.

Devin Nunes was with Elizabeth MacDonald on FOX Business yesterday and he addressed the same question that many people have had since last weekend’s op-ed in the Washington Post supposedly drafted by corrupt cop and senile Robert Mueller.

Recently an editor at the website Jezebel titled her essay on quarantine reading “You Don’t Have to Read Gravity’s Rainbow During Self-Isolation.” She instead recommended “trash” or books one had read as a child.

US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he was never briefed on claims published by the New York Times about bounties on US soldiers in Afghanistan given to the Taliban by Russian intelligence agents because US intelligence agencies don’t believe it ever happened. “We never heard about it because intelligence never found it to be of that level, where it would rise to that,” […]
The Trump administration has for years gathered intelligence about foreign powers, including both Russia and Iran, using financial means to support and encourage armed militants in Afghanistan, according to six current and former U.S. intelligence and national security officials. And, those officials said, the president has been briefed about those wide-ranging efforts. One current senior national security official and two other former officials familiar with intelligence […]
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Monday morning told Fox News that the reason why President Donald Trump tweeted a video featuring one of his supporters chanting “white power” is that he was trying to voice support for his “demonized” supporters.

The man who shot at police with a taser he stole from the police and then was shot dead by the police may not be the saint the mainstream media is attempting to make him out to be.

The head of Wuhan’s virology institute has debunked the evolving US ‘Wuhan virus’ theory, saying Covid-19 couldn’t have artificially leaked.

I actually thought we were through with hydroxychloroquine. That medication, which has legitimate uses for the treatment of malaria and certain autoimmune disorders like lupus, was dubiously touted by President Trump earlier this spring as a potential miracle treatment for COVID-19. At one point, he proclaimed that tens of millions of doses had been released to the nation’s doctors struggling with the pandemic illness that has […]
Bloomberg has yet again had to correct the title of an article, after rolling out a report about why Covid-19 hasn’t “killed more Russians.” Moscow has argued that Western media distort Russia’s fight against the disease. US-based Bloomberg News had published the story, originally titled “Experts Want to Know Why Coronavirus Hasn’t Killed More Russians,” on Wednesday. The news piece was ostensibly about how Russia’s relatively […]
While for Israelis 14 May will always be remembered as a day when a new nation was born, for Palestinians, it is remembered as a catastrophe, and is associated with expulsions, dire economic conditions, humiliation and the loss of property, the total cost of which stands at more than $50 billion. Friday will mark 72 years since the Israeli declaration of independence in 1948. Palestinians call this […]
