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.
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.

Theory Explains Data, Not the Other Way Around
For most analysts, if the gross domestic product (GDP) data shows an increase, then this is perceived as good economic news. Conversely, if the GDP data shows weakness, then this is regarded as a possible deterioration in economic conditions. Most analysts are data-driven. The reality for them is what they see.
The Total Collapse Of Negotiations With Iran Threatens To Cause Global Economic Devastation
This is a moment in history that we will remember for a long time to come. Even though we were told over and over again that a deal with Iran was almost “finalized”, the truth is that there never was going to be a deal with Iran. It was all smoke and mirrors. The U.S. couldn’t give Iran what it was demanding, and Iran simply refused to give the U.S. what it was demanding. Now negotiations have totally collapsed, and it appears that the war is back on. Needless to say, this is going to be absolutely devastating for the global economy.

Trump Slashes Tractor Tariffs In Bid To Revive Ag Belt Optimism
The Trump administration appears to be trying to inject new optimism across the nation’s farm belt following the China meeting last month, during which Beijing committed to making billions of dollars of new purchases of U.S. agricultural goods. The White House’s latest move is to reduce tariffs on tractors and combines, a policy shift aimed at easing cost pressures on farmers already squeezed by diesel, fertilizer, and machinery costs.

Shortages And Rationing Loom As Global Oil Reserves Fall At The Fastest Rate In History

Narrative That The U.S. Controls Iranian Airspace is Collapsing in Real Time; Iran Strikes U.S. Airbase
The United States and Israel have spent years assuming they can strike Iranian targets with impunity, violating ceasefire agreements and assassinating officials without consequence. That assumption just exploded along with a U.S. airbase near Bandar Abbas. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps struck back at 4:50 a.m. Thursday, targeting the American base it identified as the “origin of the aggression.” The IRGC’s warning was stark: Aggression will not go unanswered, and any repeat attack will draw a “more decisive” response.
WHO Chief Swears Ebola Outbreak “Can Be Stopped”
The World Health Organization (WHO) Chief has said he swears that the Ebola outbreak “can be stopped.” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has arrived in the Democratic Republic of Congo, proclaiming that the spread of this disease can be stopped, so long as warring faction lay down their weapons and commit to a ceasefire.
The Public Goods Circular Argument
In our modern, Western world, many justify the state and its policies because of the presupposition that the state—and the state uniquely—is an indispensable service-provider of essential services that could not or would not be provided by the free market or which would be underprovided were it not for the state’s collective provision.
