Sloppy Methodology: Social Media, Censorship And New York Post’s Hunter Biden Story

How’ll Covid-19 End? With A Bang Or A Whimper?
The number of people who have died of coronavirus in the United States has crossed 200,000, by far the highest figure for any country in the world. One way of looking at the figure is that America is a large country and a superpower where everything assumes a larger-than-life proportion. In […]
What Will Be The Foreign Policy Of The Next US President?
The two programs for the Trump and Biden candidacies are not similar to those of previous candidates. It is no longer a question of adjusting the United States to the changing world, but of defining what they will be.

We Are All Americans!
On several templates, the Democratic candidate in the November election in the US Joe Biden’s choice of Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate becomes an extraordinary development.

India Isn’t Singapore. It Is More Like Iran
The news report in the Tehran Times today that Iran and the Russia-led Iran Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) will set up three more working groups on the expansion of trade ties between the two sides should not come as surprise — except to those Indian analysts who visualise Persian Gulf […]
Trump’s Wrong: Biden Isn’t Brainwashed, He’s The Perfect Puppet!
Trump’s recent claim that Biden is “brainwashed” by the most radical members of his party is wrong since the visibly senile candidate is incapable of thinking for himself, which is actually why he was chosen as the party’s front-runner since he’s destined to be a puppet implementing the “deep state’s” […]

Minneapolis has declared a state of emergency. For a week now, protests have raged on unabated in Minnesota’s largest city at the police murder of unarmed black man George Floyd.

There’s No Longer Any Question That Biden Carried Out A Cover-Up In Ukraine
Trump stands vindicated for accusing Biden of trying to cover up his son’s corruption in Ukraine after one of that country’s lawmakers released audio recordings of the former Vice President’s numerous conversations with former President Poroshenko to that effect, proving that the real Ukrainegate scandal has been about the Democrat […]
