Matein Khalid It is time that the government and WHO tell the world that the mutations of the COVID virus will ensure that seven billion human immune systems are vulnerable to the molecular vagaries of its genetic code. In essence, there is no such thing as the end of COVID as we have all assumed after vaccines last November. True, my knowledge of human biology is self […]

By Matein Khalid The horrific fall of Kabul to the Taliban is an indictment of both the systemic corruption that plagued the Ashraf Ghani government and the policy incompetence of the Biden White House in a critical stage of the war.

It is ironic that the US Dollar Index (DXY) rose to 92.85 even as the yield on the 10 year US Treasury note tanked from 1.75 in March to as low as 1.26 last Thursday. Economic data, high yield credit spreads and the TIPS inflation breakevens convinced me that the fall in bond yields had less to do with shifts in Federal Reserve monetary policy or inflation/growth […]

By Simrah Wajahat Most people believe criminals don’t have human rights because they took away the rights of their victims. Why should they be given anything?
