At San Antonio’s Cornerstone Church on Sunday morning, hundreds of maskless congregants sang and prayed, swaying together in the pews, babies and grandparents in close proximity. It might have been easy to forget there was a deadly pandemic blazing through the country. That is, until about 25 minutes into the sermon, when pastor Matt Hagee, on a stage bathed in blue light, announced that his father, the 80-year-old senior pastor and the church’s founder, John Hagee, had been diagnosed two days earlier with COVID-19. Hagee said during the Oct. 4 livestreamed service that his father “has been diligent throughout this entire […]
Amid the latest news of Donald Trump testing positive for COVID-19, the media has been focusing attention on a number of world leaders who contracted the coronavirus earlier in the pandemic. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was the first, requiring intensive care treatment in April. UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has revealed that he was afraid Prime Minister Boris Johnson might die when he was hospitalised with COVID-19, reported The Sunday Times. In a speech recorded for Saturday’s virtual Conservative conference, the foreign secretary said: “I really worried we might lose him and I was worried for Carrie pregnant with baby […]
The sudden takedown of BitMEX has cast a new light on Ethereum’s decentralized finance (DeFi) markets. On Thursday, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and Department of Justice (DOJ) served the Seychelles-based crypto derivatives exchange with a slew of charges, arresting CTO Samuel Reed and seeking out CEO (and admitted DeFi degen) Arthur Hayes for violating the Bank Secrecy Act. While centralized exchanges (CEXs) reside on central servers in various municipalities around the globe, decentralized exchanges (DEXs) like Uniswap remain uncensorable, existing within smart contracts on top of the Ethereum blockchain. However, they are founded by real, live humans who […]
The rest of the country may have moved on to the Supreme Court fight at hand, but on Wednesday night, Samantha Bee still had something to say about the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. “This week, we, like everyone, are mourning the loss of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg,” she began. “Ginsburg fought tirelessly for women’s equality and civil rights throughout her career, including more than 27 years on the Supreme Court. On behalf of the entire staff of Full Frontal, I’d like to say fuuuuuuuuuck.” Bee aimed to honor Ginsburg as more than “just a meme your Aunt Bev cross-stitched on […]

But there was more to come. American rap star Kanye West has once again shocked his Twitter followers after he called himself ‘baby Putin’ in his latest post. The tweet without any pictures reads: ‘Trust me I won’t stop until all is fair’, ‘from Nat Ye aka baby Putin’. TRUST ME I WONT STOP […]
Over the last few U.S. presidential election cycles, the major television networks have chosen to broadcast just one hour each night from the respective parties’ political conventions, usually out of concern that anything more would impact viewership numbers and ad revenues. But this year, another explanation was offered for keeping the broadcasts short: Uncertainty over what airing President Donald Trump’s coronation event might look and sound like. Multiple sources told The Daily Beast that when Democratic officials met with various broadcast network executives about their convention coverage plans, the executives stressed that they could not broadcast two hours each night in […]

Nevertheless, don’t forget to wish your four-legged loved ones good health each time they sneeze or cough. This video shows a trio of cute dogs – two huskies and a labrador – travelling in a car. Suddenly, one of the huskies starts sneezing, and it does it several times in a row, which makes its buddies really worried about the situation: just look how caring the other husky is! “That’s the cutest thing ever! They should teach some humans to be so caring,” one viewer […]
After paying tribute to the late Congressman John Lewis Monday night, Trevor Noah moved on to a “less legendary political figure: Kanye West, hip-hop superstar and Kim Kardashian’s eldest child.” “Kanye has been promoting a new album-slash-presidential campaign,” the Daily Show host said. “And it has not been going great.” (And this was taped well before his late-night tweetstorm.) From there, Noah played a montage of clips from West’s 2020 campaign launch event in South Carolina over the weekend, during which he openly wept about almost aborting his first daughter and criticized Harriet Tubman for not helping Black Americans more. “This […]
A seven-year-old girl who has been filmed squatting and deadlifting heavy weights in a gym in Instagram videos posted by her fitness-obsessed mother has been questioned by concerned viewers who fear her growth could be stunted.

The resurgence of new COVID-19 cases in states in the US Deep South and Midwest isn’t part of a second wave. Rather, it is just the comeback of the first wave, Dr. Krutika Kuppalli, an infectious disease physician and vice chair of the Infectious Disease Society of America’s Global Health Committee, told Radio Sputnik’s Loud & Clear Friday.
