Iraq’s oil exports dropped in November. In October the Oil Ministry ordered an increase in productionbecause the government was desperate for cash due to its financial crisis. The next month the country cut back because it’s still supposed to be following an OPEC+ agreement on limiting its output. The result was a decline in exports and revenues. In November Iraq exported an average of 2.709 million barrels a day of oil. That was down from 2.876 million barrels a day in October, which was the highest amount since May’s 3.212 million barrels. For the month Iraqi crude sold f...

*Ari Heistein* *Security, Middle East* While Israel is not a party to the war in Yemen, it does have interests in the arena. The trajectory of the war in Yemen is now highly uncertain due to a number of factors which include the upcoming change in U.S. administrations as well as the failure of the Saudi efforts over the past year to maintain internal cohesion within its coalition and reach a negotiated settlement with Houthis. The present uncertainty provides an impetus for Jerusalem to recalibrate its approach to the Yemen conflict, and it should consider shifting its policy to...

The American Elections
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 13 hours ago
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” ~ Lord Acton’s best known line. In retrospect, it becomes obvious that the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 has had a negative impact on the USA—it resulted in the USA acquiring absolute power over the world and becoming absolutely corrupted. Now the situation is so bad that the Americans can’t even hold a proper election. In the recent election, there are so many glaring anomalies in the voting and vote-counting processes that you need to be a truly gullible and ignorant (or biased and corrupt) person to believe in t...

In case there was any doubt that COVID testing serves as the ultimate microcosm of the Saskatchewan Party's mismanagement of health care, we've seen the endgame released today. Remember that it was just a few months ago that Scott Moe was trumpeting a plan to massively increase public capacity, while saving for the fine print the fact that he was relying on federal money to achieve it. It didn't take long for word to leak out that nobody had bothered to do the work needed to meet them in time. And that hasn't been a matter of merely taking too long to ramp up, but of systemic fai...

JOYEUX NOEM: Reporting (Covid) statistics is hard!

*WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2020* *Let the Post's editors show you:* As we've often noted, reporting statistics is very hard, especially for major top journalists. That's even true with respect to major topic like pandemic infection and death. This very morning, the editorial board of the Washington Post helps us see how hard it can be to fight our way through such statistics. In a newly published editorial, the board says that Sweden's experiment with "herd immunity" has majorly failed. As far as we know, that assessment seems to be accurate.

Those are points I'd love to see argued before the Supreme Court. *Without a verifiable, comprehensive, secure audit trail, one that can't be accessed or modified post-event, the security and integrity of the software simply can't be guaranteed - and that means the security and int...

People spend more than half of their life, worrying about what other people think. It ends with you feeling miserable because you don’t feel good enough for anyone. Some people tend to think of the worst possible things a person could think about them, which takes a mental toll on them. Therefore, it is crucial to identify when you start thinking negatively and accept what you’re experiencing. It is possible by changing your perspective and letting go. People tend to care too much about others because their happiness depends on the quality of their relationships. They want to be i...
