One of the trends that I have noted is that for the time, major urban areas are seeing a sort of exodus. This does not mean they are disappearing, for long-term trends suggest that the opposite is taking place. Rather, what is forming are “megaregions” in the sense of mega urban centers with sprawl going […]
Historically speaking, Syria has been dominated by many powers, and for about five centuries was under the control of her norther neighbor of Turkey under the Ottomans. In recent years, Syria has seen a US military presence owing to the wars in Iraq and Syria. However, as Al-Masdar news reports, an interesting change may be […]
What is Artificial Intelligence? How does it work? Scientists cannot even understand how the process works, yet so much has been entrusted to it, from the completion of common tasks to the creation of computer scripts and major defense system maintenance. At this rate and given these trends, one can only ask, when will AI […]
As Biden now moves to take power over the country, questions remain about what he will do regarding the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. The question is, as the AP asks, will Biden restore nationwide COVID lockdowns such as existed earlier in 2020? or now, it’s a question the president-elect would prefer to avoid. In the week […]
Trump’s tax returns revealed a lot about him. The same can also be said about Joe Biden, for according to a story from the New York Post, Biden created a cancer research “charity” and then proceeded to spend millions of dollars on salaries after collecting donations but NOTHING on research. A cancer charity started by […]
After much tweeting, silence, and more tweeting, it appears that Trump has gone a further step by saying, as is reported by Business Insider, that “[Biden] won because the election was rigged”. President Donald Trump on Sunday for the first time seemingly admitted that he lost the 2020 presidential election in an early morning tweetstorm, over […]
Some countries are big. Some can be small. Some are just for leverage between other powers. These “countries” are often used as geopolitical tools in manipulating particular ends for larger nations. Examples currently include Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Lugansk, Donetsk, Catalonia, Flanders, and Walonia. They are used by the US, Russia, Germany, and other powers alike […]
I have been saying over and over and over at Shoebat.com that the problem with the economy is the debt, and that the government has only one solution through her private bank (the Federal Reserve) which is printing money, and they WILL print for political reasons until the currency is worthless because of the debt. […]
I have said that there is going to be a huge day of reckoning, economically speaking, due to the effects of COVId-19. One of these is happening right now in New York, where the Big Apple is going rotten as 80% of hotels face bankruptcy, including iconic ones. Normally among most vibrant of global hotel […]
President Trump’s niece Mary Trump made news earlier this year with a book describing family problems and other issues in President Trump’s life, and according to a recent interview with her reported on by Mediaite, Trump will not run again in 2024 amid what are a series of serious health problems that he has due […]

With Russia trying to rebuild the USSR and assert herself as a major global power again, this has come with some new attempts to bolster and assert herself. However, in Russian fashion, while she is excellent (better than the Americans and Anglos) at bluffing, she is poor at lying and because of this she can […]
Justice Samuel Alito, a man who is long-regarded as one of the ‘conservative’ justices on the Supreme Court, according to a recent interview reported by ThomsonReuters said that the current COVID-19 pandemic has been a kind of ‘constitutional stress test’ to see how the integrity of the rights guaranteed in it would be able to […]
The effects of COVID-19 continue to linger and are not going away. Since the economy is consumer-driven, when people cannot earn money, they can’t spend, meaning they can’t consume, meaning businesses can’t make money, meaning they can’t pay their debts, meaning the whole economy suffers. It’s a circle of pain that is directly tied to […]
