How Much Is the US President Worth these days?
91
Donald Trump’s real time net worth has remained stuck at some $3.1 billion since February, and might well be in for a decline as Trump’s hotel businesses continue to falter. His net worth today ranks him 715th on Forbes’ billionaires list. His wealth stood at $4.5 billion in March 2016 before Trump became president. Trump jumped 51 spots from 766 in 2018 while his total wealth remained the same. Forbes said Trump’s rise in ranking despite his unchanged wealth was due to the declining wealth of other billionaires. The president still adamantly refuses to publicly release...

2275
Exclusive
The meekness of the government and a case of a blatant foreign intervention. How a peaceful protest of the Sudanese people was abused by the United States, Britain and other allied States – read in the Federal news Agency’s (FNA) investigation. Russian experts from the protection of national values fund have repeatedly warned President Omar al-Bashir about the threat of revolution in the Sudan, if he does not begin to work to overcome the beginning of the economic crisis. Clear recommendations of the Russians were ignored, time was lost, and in the second half of Decembe...

Exclusive
USA - 30 April, 2019 The CNN host, Don Lemon, destroys Trump’s “bogus argument” that the Charlottesville violence was caused by a statue of Robert E. Lee.

MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA – April 16, 2019 On March 21, Representative Merika Coleman (D – Birmingham) introduced 2019 Alabama House Bill HB265, also known as the Gun Violence Protective Order Act, which would prohibit individuals who are found by the court to be a legitimate threat to themselves or others from owning, possessing, using, or receiving a firearm for up to one year.

British Lobbyism in U.S. Politics: Myth or Reality?
294
Despite the common notion that the U.K. is literally the 51st state of the U.S., and no matter how close the historical, ethnic, cultural, and social ties between the two countries, there still are some organizations that portray British Americans as a minority and defend their interests in Washington. The term British American is rather wide, often referring mostly to Americans whose ancestral origins come from the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). It might surprise you, but British Americans can be counted as a minority: An American Communi...
The Suspicious Journey of Pompeo
336
AUSTIN, TEXAS - April 15, 2019 The tour of US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Latin America is increasingly beginning to resemble either preparation for a general offensive against rebellious Venezuela or a review of the "troops" on the eve of the offensive. The US’s rhetoric, directed not so much against Nicolas Maduro as against Russia and China, which support him, is becoming more and more aggressive. Threats are increasingly overt. Did the United States decide to take extreme measures? Let's look at the facts. Pompeo rides through the capitals and countries of Lati...

The World of Cash at the Crossroads
4871
NEW YORK – April 13, 2019 Today, the world is entering an era of the “digital” economy. An important feature of such an economy is the predominance of non-cash money in circulation, and they already have an exclusively electronic, or “digital” form. Cash in the form of paper currency (banknotes) and coins are present in circulation, but in the whole world, there is a tendency to their final replacement by non-cash money. The process is very uneven and the level of cash circulation varies greatly from country to country. Recently, an attempt was made to draw an overall pi...
