Apple Has Lost $450 Billion of Revenue Since October 2018!

Just about three months ago, the California tech-giant was enjoying a smooth ride with profits coming in, constantly; considering the fact that it was also the most valued company on the planet, last year. But since October 2018, the freefall of its revenues has generated a lot of ‘negative buzz’ among the analysts, the investors, the consumers, and also those who are the admirers of Apple Inc. in one or the other ways.

Apple has so far lost $450 billion of revenue since October, which is more than even the ‘overall value of social networking giant Facebook’. The total value of Facebook is about $383.76 billion. Well, FB’s total worth is also more than the total GDP of some countries like Iran, Norway, and Austria!

Now, you can imagine how big the loss is for Apple, even taking into account that it’s still got a lot of money and will probably make up for the losses very soon.

On Thursday, the iPhone maker’s stocks fell by 9.96%.

Way back, three months ago, on October 3rd, 2018, when Apple hit a peak of $232.07 per share, it gained a market cap of $1.16 trillion. But now, it just dropped to a low of about $142.19 per share (new results may vary from the article’s figures), clearing out a massive amount of $450 billion from its revenue. And on Thursday, January 3rd, Apple’s market cap was standing at $710.97 billion, as per the reports of Macrotrends.

The King of Recusals: How Ald. Ed Burke’s Private Law Business Intersects With His Public Power

Chicago’s longest-sitting alderman has recused himself 464 times in the last eight years, far more than all other aldermen combined. Following recent federal raids, questions of his conflicts of interest have arisen again.

The line between embattled Chicago Ald. Edward Burke’s lucrative law practice and his public office is so thin that he has recused himself from hundreds of City Council votes that have sent millions of dollars in benefits to his private clients — from mega bond deals to tiny zoning changes.

Follow-Up

Burke’s dual roles as the most powerful alderman on the council and high-end tax attorney for companies with business before the city have played out for decades. But the potential for conflicts of interest have taken on heightened interest after federal investigators raided Burke’s City Hall and ward offices in recent weeks.

This CGI News Anchor's Chilling Gaze Is Scaring People for Multiple Reasons

There are a lot of things that we sacrifice for the sake of efficiency, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say these Chinese CGI news anchors controlled by AI take things just a bit too far.

For example, I get it when a business cuts back on expensive corporate retreats and removing cool startup perks like frozen yogurt bars and Dance Dance Revolution machines and instead puts that money into research and development.

All of those moves make sense. But when a country like China — which isn't too friendly towards journalists reporting on government and corporate corruption — busts out a computer-programmed news anchor under the guise of cutting costs it's a bad look.

Head of Dubai-owned P&O Ports’ operation killed in Somalia’s Puntland

Gunman shot dead the head of Dubai government-owned P&O Ports’ operations in Somalia’s semi-autonomous region of Puntland on Monday, a local government official said, and group al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the attack.

Yusuf Mohamed, governor of Puntland’s Bari region told Reuters that two men disguised as fishermen had shot Paul Anthony Formosa as he was going to Bosaso port this morning.

He was killed “in the fish market as he was going to Bosaso port this morning. The men armed with pistols hit him (with) several bullets in the head,” Mohamed said.

According to Mohamed, Formosa was rushed to the hospital where he died of his wounds. One of the attackers was shot dead by security forces at the scene and the other detained.

US highlights ‘broken promises’ on 40-year anniversary of Iran revolution

The United States marked the 40th anniversary of Iran’s Islamic Revolution by highlighting what it says are the “broken promises” of the Middle Eastern country’s leadership.

Tehran launched celebrations Friday to mark the 1979 return from exile of the Islamic republic’s founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and the revolution that overthrew a centuries-old dynasty.

“When he returned to Iran in 1979, Ayatollah Khomeini made lots of promises to the Iranian people, including justice, freedom, and prosperity. 40 years later, Iran’s ruling regime has broken all those promises, and has produced only 40 years of failure,” the US State Department wrote on its official Twitter account.

Khomeini said that “injustices of the past will not continue,” according to the tweet. It quoted a report from the rights group Amnesty International as saying: “The staggering scale of arrests, imprisonment and flogging sentences reveal the extreme lengths the authorities have gone in order to suppress peaceful dissent.”

Kansas judge calls girls, 13 and 14, the 'aggressor' in a child sex solicitation case

A Kansas judge has come under fire for saying in court that two girls–solicited by an online predator to have sex with him when they were 13 and 14–were partly to blame for what happened to them.

“I do find that the victims in this case, in particular, were more an aggressor than a participant in the criminal conduct,” Leavenworth County Judge Michael Gibbens said in remarks delivered at a December sentencing for a 67-year-old man who paid for sex with the two girls, according to a report in the Kansas City Star

Infanticide Abortion May Be Only the Beginning

Once upon a time, leading Democrats, such as Bill Clinton, wanted abortion to be "safe, legal, and rare." Given the reality of Roe v. Wade and the unlikely prospect of it ever being repealed, this stance on abortion had been the status quo in America for decades.

Nevertheless, abortion remains a thorny political and social issue. Democrats, not following the admonition "perfect is the enemy of the good," have doubled down to the point that reversing Roe is not now so far-fetched. Not satisfied with a contentious truce between the pro- and anti-abortion factions in the U.S., the left wants to rub the noses of most decent Americans into new levels of legalized barbarism.

The latest push from Democrats, perhaps emboldened by winning the House last November, is to make abortion "unsafe, repugnant, and common." Several states, including New York and Virginia, have pushed abortion to the limits of humanity, by legalizing, or attempting to do so, literal infanticide, killing full-term babies up until and including at the time of delivery.

All this in the name of "choice," ignoring the potential choice of the new human being to live – a baby not at all different from the babies filling the newborn nurseries at hospitals across the country.

The Best Place for a Sexual Harasser is in a 2020 Democrat Presidential Candidate’s Office

Schumer, Biden, Beto O’Rourke, Bernie Sanders.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was forced to dump Communications Director Matt House for “inappropriate encounters” with staffers.

House had been Schumer's press secretary after working on Joe Biden's presidential campaign.

Biden isn’t the only Democrat in the 2020 race with sexually creepy staffers.

Senator Kamala Harris is embroiled in her own sexual harassment scandal after a lawsuit revealed that Larry Wallace, "a longtime aide and one of her closest professional confidantes" had been accused of sexual harassment by his executive assistant. The lawsuit was settled by Harris' old office for a cool $400K and was sealed with a non-disclosure agreement. The only reason for an NDA is keeping the victim from going public and embarrassing Harris, Becerra and California’s Democrat establishment.

President Trump holds a 48% approval rating today after nearly two years into his first term despite a continued barrage of fake news and vicious media attacks.

This is 2 points higher than Barack Obama at the same point in his presidency.

This is despite national mainstream media reporting negatively on the highly successful President Trump 92% of the time.

Barack Obama had a cake walk with the media.

More Syrians return from Jordan camps through Nassib crossing

Daraa, SANA – A number of displaced Syrians returned from camps in Jordan through the Nassib-Jaber border crossing, in the southeastern countryside of the southern Daraa province.

After arriving through the crossing on Tuesday, the families were transported to their homes in the areas liberated from terrorism, said SANA’s reporter at the crossing.

The reporter noted that the authorities in the Governorate provided the returnees with buses to transport them to their home towns and villages after they registered at the Immigration and Passports Department at the crossing, and that medical services were provided to those who needed it.

Since its reopening last October, thousands of displaced Syrians have returned, including hundreds of young people who had their legal status settled.

Acting Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security Submit Joint Report on Impact of Foreign Interference on Election and Political/Campaign Infrastructure in 2018 Elections

Report Concludes No Material Impact of Foreign Interference on Election or Political/Campaign Infrastructure in 2018 Elections

Acting Attorney General Matthew G. Whitaker and Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen M. Nielsen yesterday submitted a joint report to President Donald J. Trump evaluating the impact of any foreign interference on election infrastructure or the infrastructure of political organizations, including campaigns and candidates in the 2018-midterm elections.

The classified report was prepared pursuant to section 1(b) of Executive Order 13848, Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Influence in a United States Election, which the President issued on Sept. 12, 2018.

Throughout the 2018 midterm election cycle, the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security worked closely with federal, state, local, and private sector partners, including all 50 states and more than 1400 local jurisdictions, to support efforts to secure election infrastructure and limit risk posed by foreign interference. Efforts to safeguard the 2020 elections are already underway.

Although the specific conclusions within the joint report must remain classified, the Departments have concluded there is no evidence to date that any identified activities of a foreign government or foreign agent had a material impact on the integrity or security of election infrastructure or political/campaign infrastructure used in the 2018 midterm elections for the United States Congress. This finding was informed by a report prepared by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) pursuant to the same Executive Order and is consistent with what was indicated by the U.S. government after the 2018 elections.
