The Inflation Monster Stirs

By Jeff Harris

By now you’ve probably heard that if you’re receiving Social Security benefits you’ll be getting a raise in 2022. According to Wolf Richter’s Wolf Street report published December 6th, 2021 the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for Social Security beneficiaries will rise 5.9% for 2022. That’s the highest increase since 1982! You’re going to be getting more money so that’s a good thing, right?

The latest spin by main stream media outlets is that inflation is a GOOD thing because it sh...

Desperate Fauci: 'We've Got To Supersede Personal Choices!'

As Biden's vaccine mandates continue to be smacked down by courts, as the Senate has held a bipartisan vote rejecting mandates, as even Democrats are - according to media reports - "souring" on vaccine mandates, Fauci was asked in a MSNBC interview whether it might be time to back down a bit. Not at all! - was Fauci's response. If people won't take the shots they must be forced to take the shots, he replied. Also today - are UK's ICUs filled with the unvaccinated? Should we change the definition...

Strike Three! Federal Judge Blocks Biden's Contractor Mandate

Biden's vaccine mandates continue to drop like flies, with a US Federal Judge in Georgia yesterday blocking the Administration's Federal contractor vax mandate nationwide. Previously the Medicare and OSHA mandates have been blocked nationwide. Key question: the Administration has admitted these mandates are a "work-around" from Constitutional limitations - isn't that illegal? Also today: you'll never guess which states have the highest Covid hospitalizations. And...get ready for your six doses p...

Letting Go of The Obsession With "Over There" & Focusing On Right Here

By Chris Rossini

​One of the great challenges of life is in dealing with it as it is, right where we are. In our hyper-politicized world, the temptation is always in front of us to focus on where we are not.

When political power is decentralized (as it should be) this is not a problem. What happens "over there" is for the people "over there" to deal with. After all, no one can deal with it better than they can. They're there!

However, when political power is centralized (as it should NOT be)...

Biden-Putin Virtual Summit: Will Washington's Dogs Of War Be Unleashed?

After weeks of US claims that Russia is about to invade Ukraine - because it is moving troops on its own soil - today's Biden-Putin video meeting is billed as a way to release building pressure. The irony is that the US, with over 700 bases across the globe, is demanding that Russia stop moving its troops within Russia even as NATO members continue to add troops and sophisticated weapons in Ukraine. The Russia-Ukraine open wound is the poster child for the idiocy of US interventionist foreign po...

DeBlasio Goes Full Dictator: 'Mandatory VAX For ALL'!

Outgoing New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio is going out with a bang! He announced today that ALL employers in the Big Apple must require their workers to take the Covid shots or be fired. It is a decision that will hurt black NYC residents the most, but the mayor doesn't seem to care much about those black lives. Meanwhile, a cruise ship has arrived in Louisiana with a fully vaxxed crew, a fully vaxxed group of passengers...and at least 17 covid cases! But not to worry - they are all asymptomati...

Biden’s ‘Democracy Summit’ is a Joke

By Ron Paul

On December 9-10 President Biden will preside over an online “Summit for Democracy,” which claims it will “bring together leaders from government, civil society, and the private sector to set forth an affirmative agenda for democratic renewal and to tackle the greatest threats faced by democracies today through collective action.”

What a joke. This is not about promoting democracy. It's really about undermining democracy worldwide with US interventionist foreign policy.

Yes, the confere...

Biden Expected To Lock Down Travelers!

According to the Washington Post, the Biden Administration is expected tomorrow to force ALL travelers to the US - Americans and foreigners alike - to take a Covid test within a day of travel AND to self-quarantine for seven days after arrival. Vaxxed and unvaxxed alike! Government internment of all arrivals? Are we becoming Australia? Also today, the Biden vax mandates continue to take severe body blows in the courts, with the government contractor mandate being overturned yesterday. Also...Cra...

Good News For Christmas: Biden's Mandate Keeps Losing In Court

From California eastward, US courts keep ruling against President Biden's attempt to force Americans to take the experimental virus shots. And the President has been forced to quietly back off of his threat to fire Federal workers who refuse the jab. Is freedom winning? Also today, leading expert says new variant may spell the end of Covid-19 altogether!

Reduce Expectations of Government

By Ron Paul

​Inflation was an unwelcome guest at this year’s Thanksgiving gatherings. According to the Farm Bureau, a traditional Thanksgiving meal cost 14 percent more in 2021 than the same meal cost in 2020. Many families went without certain Thanksgiving favorites — or limited their guests — to reduce costs in hopes of saving Christmas from the Grinches at the Federal Reserve. Sadly, these efforts will not guaranty that children’s Christmas wish lists will be fulfilled because the government-c...
