Having boosted its oil output to historic records, Saudi Arabia denied that it seeks to “get rid of” US shale oil producers, after Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Riyadh of aggressively targeting competitors. Rejecting the accusation as “fully devoid of truth,” Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud insisted that the Kingdom is and has always been “seeking to reach more cuts and achieve oil […]
(Natural News) As the herds of gullible sheep anxiously wait for their government to roll out a new vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), it can’t be stated emphatically enough that whatever jab is eventually unveiled will surely be far worse than the virus itself. Instead of telling Americans to go outside and get more disease-fighting vitamin D from natural sunlight, or to take vitamin C […]
Irrational and all-encompassing fear of the coronavirus pandemic is racking up its own body count, sometimes faster than the disease.

Daniela Trezzi, an intensive care nurse at the San Gerardo Hospital in Italy’s hard-hit Lombardy region who was diagnosed with coronavirus earlier this month, killed herself on Sunday. She was terrified that she had infected […]

Ed Asner would very much like Betty White to live. Also Carl Reiner, William Shatner, Mel Brooks, and Cloris Leachman. Oh, and himself. On Tuesday afternoon, the Emmy-winning TV legend (The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Lou Grant) directed a tweet at Donald Trump in response to the president’s comments which insinuated that he plans to reopen the country in weeks.

Donald Trump is half-right. At Monday’s news conference, Trump correctly noted that our society balances human lives against other values (freedom, prosperity, profit) all the time. We do it every time we set a speed limit, knowing full well that letting people drive faster will cause some of those people—and their innocent victims—to die. But when you run the numbers on the novel coronavirus, Trump is […]
US equity and bond markets have reversed their initial exuberance at The Fed’s monetary policy lunacy as investors realize that soaring stocks will dramatically reduce the urgency from The Senate to cut a deal, which once again leaves The Fed shouldering the bulk of the burden (and given that, the fiscal stimulus may not come at all). And it’s gone… And bonds erased their gains… However, […]

In the course of a month Iran has gone from downplaying its coronavirus outbreak to now issuing its most dire warning yet.

On Tuesday Iranian state TV journalist, Dr. Afruz Eslami, captured headlines in […]
The Russian Orthodox Church’s response to the ever-changing Covid-19 situation has raised some eyebrows, but one new measure will undoubtedly receive a good reception from those partial to a tipple. In what could only be described as an ‘unorthodox’ proposal, parishioners who wish to receive communion will be drinking a lot more wine than usual. Speaking to radio station Moscow Talks, Archpriest Leonid Kalinin, a member […]

William Mougayar, a CoinDesk columnist, is the author of “The Business Blockchain,” producer of the Token Summit and a venture investor and adviser. We should stop trying to define or classify cryptocurrency as if it were a beast from another planet. Rather, we just need to accept it as the future of money. It is a currency, not a security, and it shouldn’t be governed by […]

UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab may want to avoid checking his Twitter mentions and enter self-isolation, as he has begun trending online for repeatedly coughing into his hand during the budget debate in the British Parliament.
