For the first time in history, crude oil prices dropped to the point of entering a negative territory. This Monday, Fortune reports that the “evaporating demand and scarce storage” caused the decline to below zero. This decline means that there is a flip, with sellers effectively paying buyers to take the oil. Late Monday afternoon, the front-month WTI (West Texas Intermediate) contract sat at $38.45/barrel. This significant drop means that the decline was at 310.45%, all in the same day. An oil analyst from the Oslo based Rystad Energy told Fortune that this is almost unreal. Louise Dickson stated, “It’s like trying…

Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi discussed how delay and denial can cost lives. She was talking with Ari Melber about what could happen if situations regarding the coronavirus are delayed or denied, and she heavily stressed that it could cost lives. In that case, she’s right. Any delay or denial when it comes to medical situations and patients could always cost lives – that’s a given. However, as Nancy Pelosi speaks about this, she’s missing one really gigantic and obvious point – that she’s also very guilty of the same delay and denial she speaks of. Except, her delay and…

Trump will likely square off against top Democratic candidate,…

President Donald Trump unleashed a flurry of Tweets aimed at Democrats in a demand that governors begin lifting statewide lock-downs when the outbreak flattens and the peak is over. Trump suggests that each state is different and had recently said it will be up to each governor to make their own decisions on when and how to start lifting stay-at-home orders and other lock-down sanctions that were put in place to help flatten the curve of the outbreak that originated in China and has since traveled all over the world. Trump’s tweet storm against Democrats focused on Minnesota, Michigan, and…

Michigan’s Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer has faced heavy criticism and protests after issuing a stay-at-home order.

Whitmer stated that she was concerned that people congregating in protest would cause the virus to bounce back and start spreading further. Whitmer also discussed the possibility of opening the state too soon and having a “second wave” strike her constituents. Whitmer…

A Sheriff in Los Angeles County has released 4,276 inmates from a county jail in hopes to slow or prevent the outbreak from taking over the jail. But, now he’s concerned that there might be a “future surge of crime” with so many inmates being released at once. Despite the fact that most of the inmates were said to be non-violent, one must remember that someone who is released from prison who has nowhere to go, no family to call, will often resort back to crime to survive out of necessity. Some criminals don’t have many options when they’re released,…

Failed candidate Bernie Sanders has officially endorsed Joe Biden and they went on live video to chat. Bernie Sanders was already pushing for free college for the generations coming up. Biden suggests proposing canceling student debt for people who were abused by private colleges. He makes a point because some colleges keep raising their tuition while offering nothing extra in return and that should be capped at some point. One way to drop the student debt is to simply lower the interest rates to 1-2% so students can make bigger payments that aren’t mostly interest. Biden and Sanders, surprisingly, were…

Michigan’s first time governor, Democrat Gretchen Whitmer, is being slammed for her draconian style of ruling and extreme measures during the outbreak. She’s officially been labeled as the worst governor in America, a title given to her by Robert Stacy McCain of Spectator. Whitmer received this title after people started calling her policies regarding the outbreak insane and to the extreme.

There’s no way to prove one way or the other why…
