…by Andre Vltchek, for VT COVID-19 is not just a disease; it is also a state of mind, a psychosis, a fear. It is an event that, all over the world, unleashed irrational behavior by the governments, individuals, and media. It triggered speculations, bizarre analyses, and selective ‘cut-and-paste science.’ Result: while there are, undeniably, few optimistic success stories, including the Russian vaccine, China’s and Vietnam’s ability […]
The changes that were recently made to the USPS and which sparked Democrat outrage have already been suspended, but Donald Trump’s opponents still fear that this will not be enough to vote the incumbent president out. US Democratic Party officials are rushing to come up with new election strategies for the November presidential election as they fear that mail-in voting might not give them victory, citing […]
This is not a guide of how to trade crypto. This is not about how to make money, how to invest, or where to find alpha. But if you’ve dabbled in crypto-trading? Then you know this one thing: It can be all-consuming. When your money is on the line, suddenly you’re checking the prices more than you check social media, you obsess about the charts, and […]
Previously speculation has been rife that Argentine footballer Lionel Messi, whose contract with Barcelona expires in 2021, was not planning on re-signing over reported “internal squabbles” at the club. FC Barcelona’s forward Lionel Messi is reportedly one step closer to leaving the club, according to COPE. The iconic Argentine footballer, winner of a record six Ballon d’Or awards, is cited as barely having been able to […]
Kanye West’s presidential campaign has asked to appear on the Iowa ballot, keeping his 2020 bid alive as the entertainer called to meet with Donald Trump and Joe Biden to discuss “restoring the black community.” Representatives for the West campaign brought nominating petitions to the office of Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate on Friday, the secretary said in a tweet, adding that that would be […]

People who love these desserts can often be divided into two categories: those who prefer to lick them and those who bite them. Turns out, dogs are not that different in this respect. Two charming golden retriever buddies were filmed sharing a popsicle. Each of the […]
If the election were this Tuesday, Joe Biden would win at least 321 electoral votes. Sunday morning I went through every state poll on fivethirtyeight.com and toted them all up. It came out Biden 321, Donald Trump 121. And that was without the six states where the margin based on more than one poll was three points or less—Texas, Ohio, Georgia, North Carolina, Iowa, and Alaska. […]

Some like it hot. But not me. I’d rather be cold. So when summer comes along, I’m looking for ways to get outside, sure, but more importantly, I’m searching for the best ways to beat the heat. Staying cool all summer is about more than jumping in a pool (especially if you don’t have one). If you’re overheating and your AC isn’t keeping you as cool […]
by Nebojsa Malic, senior writer at RT If the picture of Chinese ‘malign influence’ in the US is as dire as FBI Director Chris Wray painted it, the two nations ought to be at war. Yet Wray doesn’t advise that, suggesting it’s all just Russiagate-like fear-mongering. “China is engaged in a whole-of-state effort to become the world’s only superpower by any means necessary,” Wray argued on […]

The album, released Friday, is a masterpiece, and a masterclass in lyric-writing in league with Dylan’s—and therefore anyone’s—best. While vaguely mining the same musical landscape Dylan has explored since 2001’s Love & Theft—a sort of modern day juke joint mixture of pre- and post-rock and roll swing—Dylan is […]

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Wednesday that the West could not ignore the rise of China. Beijing was coming closer to the West in various ways – in the Arctic, in cyberspace and in critical infrastructure, including telecommunications, he told BBC radio. The head of the Western military alliance also said it was important that Britain had a review of the role of Huawei in […]

The only member of Congress known for lamenting the decline of white Americans and making racist remarks about the size of immigrants’ calf muscles is out of a job next year. Rep. Steve King was defeated in a five-person primary Tuesday by a fellow Republican, Iowa state Sen. Randy Feenstra, who had received support from a national GOP establishment that finally invested deeply in an effort […]

The COVID-19 outbreak has prompted Russian health professionals to develop new methods for treating coronavirus patients. As the creation of an anti-COVID vaccine does not seem to be imminent, Russian scientists are prioritising the urgent production of drugs that activating human beings’ innate immunity.

We are social creatures. So it’s no surprise that quarantine fatigue has begun to set in. “Humans are wired to come together physically,” says psychologist Judith Moskowitz of Northwestern University. But, loneliness has become widespread in modern life. And, social distancing has just exacerbated the problem,” Moskowitz says. Finding ways to connect is essential to our well-being, since prolonged isolation can increase the risk of depression […]
