Trump Threatens To “Blow Up” Oman
United States ruler Donald Trump has threatened to attack and “blow up” Oman if it doesn’t “behave.” Should Oman attempt to seize control of the Strait of Hormuz, which has effectively been closed since the US and Israel launched attacks against Iran in February, the US would be willing to attack its own ally, Trump said.
“People Are Hiding” During Ebola Outbreak, Making Containment Difficult
Not nearly as many people are checking into hospitals in the Democratic Republic of Congo for symptoms of the rapidly spreading Ebola virus. “There is a high concern overall, but the main concern is that people are hiding,” said Faith Koskei, the head of Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL) at Save the Children.
Crazy Wealth Tax Proposals in California and New York City
The socialists who have been taking over the Democratic Party lately have a problem—the state and local jurisdictions where they are able to seize power still have to compete with rival jurisdictions that are still relatively friendly to private property and capitalist businesses. The principal targets of egalitarian fury, namely possessors of great wealth, are strongly incentivized to escape from dystopian hell-holes created by socialists to saner locales. Even those who aren’t so clearly targeted as objects of envy suffer from the effects of economic and social decline and are also incentivized to leave.

The Truth About What Is Really Going On In The Strait Of Hormuz
We live at a time when deception is running rampant. Iran is not telling the truth about what is going on in the Strait of Hormuz. Neither is the Pentagon. On Monday, a few commercial vessels were able to get through the Strait. On Tuesday, that number dropped to zero. That isn’t progress. In fact, that is the opposite of progress. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran is the greatest threat to the global economy that I have seen in my entire lifetime. If it is not reopened soon, it will be an unprecedented catastrophe for the entire world.

In a speech to socialists on January 22, Lenin described the failure to win a decisive battle against the Russian regime as a “temporary defeat.” Nonetheless, he did not know when a similar opportunity might arise, and he told his audience:

The Global Fertilizer Shortage Will Sabotage Spring Planting Season In The Northern Hemisphere
Nobody is going to be able to save the spring planting season in the northern hemisphere now, and that is really bad news because, according to the UN, the number of people in the world experiencing acute hunger was already at an all-time high even before the war began. A historic global food crisis has been escalating for years, and now farmers all over the northern hemisphere either can’t get the nitrogen fertilizer that they desperately need or they are paying much more for it. As a result, global food prices will start rising dramatically once harvest season rolls around, and in many impoverished nations, there simply won’t be enough food for everyone.

Government Regulations Create Monopolies and Stifle Competition
