Countries around the world slowly are beginning to open back up again, as the coronavirus pandemic begins to abate. The revival of economic activity means that, after a disastrous period in the first quarter of 2020 that shut down businesses and industry almost everywhere, pent up demand for goods and…
There seems to be an odd lack of curiosity about one aspect of the coronavirus: not where did it come from, as in “which lab”? Some indeed are asking about that. But rather, why were scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and elsewhere in China working for decades on research…
One might be excused for wondering why the Iranian regime is pressing the International Monetary Fund (IMF), headquartered in Washington DC, to give Tehran an emergency $5 billion loan. Hardship, says Iranian President Hassan Rouhani—and the urgent need to fight the coronavirus pandemic. But the mullahs’ regime in fact seems…
Special Report There’s little doubt anymore that COVID-19 originated in China. It’s very possible – likely even – that the Wuhan coronavirus was not released into the world on purpose. But it’s also a fact that the Chinese Communist regime runs a sophisticated offensive biological weapons program. Chinese researchers at…
With the news cycle completely dominated by the coronavirus pandemic, another war is being overlooked: the oil war. The oil price war is being waged between Russia and Saudi Arabia after the Russians abruptly broke off talks with the Saudis and other OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) members in…
Anyone who drives these days has noticed the drop in gasoline prices at the pump lately. No doubt we’re all happy about that. But what is actually behind the dip? And is that back story really good news for America? Over the last several years, the ingenuity of American oil…

U.S. confirmed cases are climbing upwards of 3,000, but thanks to the Trump administration’s aggressive, early, and sensible counter measures plus a world class health care system, deaths here have…
In mid-January of this year, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo Tweeted a statement and accompanying video in which he said that “The goal of our maximum pressure campaign is to deny the regime resources to conduct its destructive foreign policy. We want Iran to act like a normal country.” He…
After more than eighteen long years, American troops may finally be on their way out of Afghanistan. Reports indicate that the United States (U.S.) and Taliban forces are close to reaching agreement on a seven-day truce followed by withdrawal of most U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

The deadly Wuhan Coronavirus, dubbed “2019-nCoV” by the World Health Organization (WHO), is spreading farther and faster than the SARS virus (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) did at a similar point in its outbreak, although this corona virus’ lethality rate is still lower than for SARS at around 4% so far.
