By James M Dorsey When Turkish finance minister Nureddin Nebati this week announced plans to encourage households to convert their gold holdings into Turkish liras in a bid to shore up Turkish central bank reserves, he was targeting people like Esra G. Ms. G., whose last name has been abbreviated to preserve her anonymity, has had a life-long troubled relationship with gold. When she was barely three years old, […]
My vote for Biden was not because I liked him it was because I could not take one more minute of that fat fascist pig gushing all over himself and self congratulating himself for doing nothing of substance for all Americans. Republican voters need to push him out of the picture and move on from Trumpisim or be prepared to never see their party with another presidential […]
The reauthorization of the popular investment immigration program of the United States, namely the EB-5 Immigrant Investor program, has once again been delayed as Democrats and Republicans were unable to reach a consensus on a comprehensive federal spending budget. On December 3, 2021, President Biden signed a short-term funding bill, known as a Continuing Resolution, to avert a shutdown of the U.S. federal government. Despite the expectation […]
James M Dorsey The family of nations is balancing on the edge of an abyss as mushrooming religious and ethnic intolerance becomes the norm. Western as well as non-Western societies have helped paved the road towards the abyss: the West by abandoning the post-World War Two principle of ‘Never Again’ and the non-Western world by never embracing it and failing to adopt the principle of ‘forgive but […]
Start with the majority of Democratic governors who had the common sense to shut their states down then compare that to the Republican governors that chose money over the safety of their residents . Lets see the daily death rates between Red and blue states . Adblock test (Why?)
Matein Khalid Imran Khan described the fall of Kabul as liberation, I wonder if he has seen the images of desperate Afghans trying to flee their “liberation” by the odious Taliban – mothers handing over babies over the razor wire, the country’s best and brightest coming back to the airport after the savage suicide bomb attack, which was the Taliban’s modus operandi to slaughter the citizens of […]
By James M Dorsey Abu Omar Khorasani was taken from Kabul’s Pul-i-Charkhi prison and unceremoniously shot. The first and only person to have been executed since the Taliban gained full control of Afghanistan, Mr. Khorasani was the head of the Islamic State in South Asia until he was arrested by government forces last year. The precise circumstances of his execution are not known. His killing was, however, […]
James M Dorsey Israel’s first post-Netanyahu government is seeking to rebuild fractured relations with the Jewish Diaspora and rebrand the country as a liberal rather than an illiberal democracy against the backdrop of uncertainty about future US policy towards the Middle East and continued unconditional backing of the Jewish state. Uncertainty about US reliability has been reinforced by the US negotiation with the Taliban and subsequent withdrawal […]
Raytheon is America’s preeminent vendor of advanced aerospace technology products, mission critical for 21st century warfare. Hypersonic missiles, space to space command and control systems, cyber warfare, satellite reconnaissance/surveillance/smart drones and defence electronics. The stock has been a beauty, rising from 55 on Election Day to 89 now even though the Republicans lost the White House. This is the testament to the fact that its product menu […]
James M Dorsey A major Muslim and Evangelical organization joined forces this week to significantly advance hitherto state-backed ceremonial inter-faith dialogues that seldom go beyond platitudes and lofty statements. This week’s launch at a Washington DC mosque of an inter-faith alliance and a book published by the Institute for Humanitarian Islam and the Germany-based World Evangelical Alliance (WEA) as well as the Center for Shared Civilizational Values constitutes an […]
By James M Dorsey When Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid recently sparked a war of words with Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki he was doing more than resisting Central European attempts at rewriting the history and legacy of the Holocaust and right-wing nationalistic flirting with anti-Semitic tropes. The war centred on a bill debated in the Polish parliament that makes it essentially impossible for Jews to claim property they […]
Republicans and Democrats both use the same highways and aging overpasses they both live in the areas with the crumbling dams this is not a left or right thing this is a fix it or people will start to die thing. China poured more concrete to shore up their infrastructure in the last 10 years then we did in the entire last century. Adblock test (Why?)
By David Trujillo The door is wide open now to the people in the United States. The opportunity for socialism is a serious option for a new political future. Let’s get real: The Republicans have abdicated democratic responsibilities. They have given up on our basic democratic values and the U.S. Constitution. The Republican Party […]

By Conn Hallinan When President-elect Joe Biden takes office on January 21 he will be faced with some very expensive problems, from bailing out the COVID-19 economy to getting a handle on climate change. Vaccinating over 300 million people will not be cheap and wrestling the U.S. hydrocarbon-based economy in the direction of renewable […]

By Ole S. Hansen Since the U.S. election this Tuesday, nearly all assets including most commodities have enjoyed a strong surge. The everything up and U.S. dollar down narrative unfolded despite the prospect of at least two years of political gridlock in Washington preventing U.S. fiscal stimulus from flowing into a Covid-19 hit economy, while also putting the brakes on the reflation trade. Commodities nevertheless rallied hard […]
Shouldn’t you be more concerned with those electronic machines with no paper backup? Because THOSE can be rigged. But of course, those are in Republican states where rigging is the plan. Or maybe you should be concerned with all those armed “poll watchers” called upon to intimidate voters. But no, go ahead and waste our time with one of the proven safest voting methods because it doesn’t […]
