Roots..

 
Chris Licht came into the top spot at CNN pronouncing he had a clear view of what was wrong with the cable news channel, the vision to fix it, and the corporate backing that would enable him to turn the ship around. 

Barely more than a year later, with the channel's battered ratings further sagging, the formats for key shows still in doubt, internal strife at crisis levels, and journalists inside CNN still questioning what his vision is, Licht is gone, ousted by the corporate patron who wooed him to the network, Warner Bros. Discovery chief David Zaslav. 

Licht had argued that CNN had strayed too far from its roots, and spent much of his time publicly condemning the network's coverage of former President Donald Trump, the COVID-19 pandemic and many other key subjects. In so doing, he was echoing the mandate of Zaslav, who had taken over CNN as part of Discovery's acquisition of Warner Media last year.

Multivitamin..

 

Adults over age 60 who want to stave off memory loss could benefit from taking a daily multivitamin supplement, suggests a recent study from Columbia University in New York and Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard in Boston.

"Daily multivitamin supplementation improved memory in older adults after one year, an effect that was sustained, on average, over the three years of follow up," Adam M. Brickman, PhD, professor of neuropsychology at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, told Fox News Digital.

After the first year, those taking the multivitamin showed memory improvement compared to the placebo group — an effect that continued over the entire course of the study.

People who had cardiovascular disease experienced a bigger memory boost from the multivitamins, the study found.

Decisions..

 

Member countries of OPEC  are considering further cuts to oil production that could send oil prices soaring. 

The cuts have drawn criticism from the Biden administration and Western allies, arguing that OPEC policies have sent energy prices soaring and that they have taken the side of Russia amid its ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

 Meanwhile, OPEC+ countries say Western money-printing over the last decade is driving inflation and forcing measures to protect their most valuable export.

The US and allies sanctioned Russia and stoped purchases of Russian oil.

Biden promised "No Fossil Fuel" 2 years ago..., The inflation and shortage of food worldwide followed. 

Do these leaders know what their decisions mean?

Cause and..

 

Washington and its allies made some misjudgments about the Ukraine/Russia conflict. They underestimated the neutral stance of China and several other countries such as India and Brazil, in addition to several countries on the African continent, for example. 

And the worst: they also provided the beginning of the acceleration of the de-dollarization of the world economy with the economic sanctions against the Russians, uniting the objectives of several countries that already questioned the supremacy of the dollar as the dominant commercial transaction currency. 

A supremacy’s downfall could certainly take decades, but that seems to be already underway.
       The current Russian-Ukrainian conflict could never gain the international proportions that were generated from the action of the Washington-Brussels Axis.

 Their actions have directly impacted Europe, which bears the brunt of the consequences while the US benefits economically from Russian sanctions and Europeans suffer as much as Moscow from their actions and effects.

OK..

 

Hurray..

 

The politicians and the Media is not helping at all when it comes to the Debt and the debt ceiling. Having this much in debt is a serious problem for the country. We may have passed a minor problem, but the debt is still growing and will impede the economics at one point.  Just a thought.
