Girl Fatally Shot by Her Brother in Georgia
121
GEORGIA – April 15, 2019 Possessing a weapon is a huge responsibility, and anyone who owns one should obey all possible safety rules. Another testimony to this simple fact comes from Georgia, where a real tragedy occurred when six-year-old Millie Drew Kelly was fatally shot by her four-year-old brother with a gun their mother had forgotten under the passenger seat in their car. The accident allegedly happened when the children were left in the car by their mother who was busy trying to fix the car. Although the girl was immediately rushed to the hospital, she died there...
Trump Calls Fed Policy a Stock Market "Killer"
105
WASHINGTON, DC – April 15, 2019 If not for Fed policy, the stock market could grow by 10,000 points, the President Trump is certain. He called the “quantitative tightening” program (or officially - the normalization of balance), in which the regulator cleared its inflated balance in 2017, a “killer.” “If the Fed had done its job properly, which it has not, the Stock Market would have been up 5000 to 10,000 additional points, and GDP would have been well over 4% instead of 3%...with almost no inflation. Quantitative tightening was a killer, should have done the exact oppo...

5440
GEORGETOWN – April 13, 2019 The American system of higher education is extremely corrupt as shown by the recent scandals. And the system is not only corrupt, but also tolerant to so-called “social justice warriors”, who beg for “slavery reparations” and other welfare money of any kind. And this is exactly what happened in Georgetown. Georgetown University is one of the most famous educational institutions of Washington D.C., and also one of the oldest universities in America in general, founded back in 1789. It is also the oldest Catholic and Jesuit-affiliated American...
The Police Officers Are in Charge of Shocking Humiliation of a Homeless Man in Hawaii
133
HONOLULU – April 9, 2019 Police violence in the US sometimes manifests as true humiliation and the deprival of basic human rights, as happened to a homeless man in Hawaii who was forced to lick a public urinal. The names of the “heroic” police officers responsible for this brutal and inhumane act are John Rabago and Reginald Ramones. The incident that occurred on January 28, 2018 was apparently meant to be a joke, but did not go according to plan for these violators of the human rights in police uniform. According to the official statements, Rabago and Ramones were resp...
Ministry of Foreign Madness: US About to Label Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps a Terrorist Group
5860
USA - April 8, 2019 Washington is challenging Tehran with the new move within their informational and geopolitical war, though such a step seems rather odd, and more importantly, culpable. The tensions between the US and Iran have severely worsened since the beginning of the Syrian War, as Iran makes every effort to fight against Western-backed Syrian opposition forces, and, of course, against the pure evil of ISIS. Iran also resists the militaristic rhetoric of Israel at the international level, which certainly can’t satisfy Washington, so they have to tackle Tehran as...
The Floridian Political Ouroboros: How the Swing State Becomes a Battleground in the Interim
3027
Florida has traditionally been considered a swing state, so the latest provocation against President Trump in Mar-a-Lago is certainly a part of the Democrats’ 2020 Strategy. But Trump has skeletons in the closet himself, and this shouldn’t be forgotten. What do we know about Florida? We know that it is a key state, as political history has shown many times, and that it has become a battleground once again. The last Republican president, George W. Bush, won by only hundreds of votes after a recount in Florida, becoming the second Bush president in American history. Who kno...

Some experts believe that the market is on the verge of collapse The efforts of the world's central banks have forced financial assets around the world to rise in price, playing almost all the fall of the end of last year. Crude oil futures are no exception, since they are also a financial asset. Nevertheless, sometimes this asset still takes into account the fundamental factors, and here is not the most favorable picture. The fact is that the world economy...
