De-Dollarization Was Always More of a Political Slogan Than a Pecuniary Fact

Any breakthrough in Russian-US relations would inevitably disappoint those multipolar enthusiasts who bought into the most ideologically dogmatic narratives of the New Cold War and consequently believed that Russia would forever eschew the dollar out of principle.

The three-year-long NATO-Russian proxy war in Ukraine contributed to the belief that the international community had bifurcated into the West and the World Majority respectively, with the outcome of the aforesaid conflict determining w...

There Are no Free Marketers in a Recession

Peter went live on X Spaces on Tuesday to comment on President Trump’s address to congress and take questions from his followers. Peter offers his thoughts on ongoing economic instability, gold’s long-awaited rise, and mounting inflationary pressures. He also comments on the recent Trump-Zelenskyy debacle and Trump’s renewed tariff pressure.

Peter opens the conversation reflecting on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, framing it as a senseless geopolitical quagmire reminiscent of Vietnam:

But I remem...

Dems and Blob Together

If the Jacobins of Paris, 1794, had not been bum-rushed to the “national razor,” perhaps they would have acted-out as clownishly in defeat as America’s Democratic Party does right now after their election debacle of 2024. Imagine Robespierre in Harlequin drag riding backwards on a goat over the Pont Neuf to do handsprings and a juggling act in the Parvis de Notre-Dame. Alas, foiled by the guillotine. . . .

Now imagine Rep. Al Green (9th Texas Dist) shaking his cane and hollering curses at the ro...

The Stoicism of the Caregiver

These are difficult realities without Hollywood cliche answers.

Caregivers and the costs of caregiving don’t get much attention. They’re not part of the news flow, and the day-to-day grind of caregiving doesn’t lend itself to the self-promotional zeitgeist of social media. Look at me, helping Mom on her walker is not going to score big numbers online.

The burdens in human and financial terms are often crushing. These realities are generally obscured by taboos and Hollywood cliches: it’s consider...

Saying Goodbye to Benjamin Netanyahu Is Long Overdue

President Donald Trump’s address to Congress and the nation on Tuesday night was remarkably devoid of any mention of why the United States continues to both enable and be complicit in the Ukrainian conflict with Russia as well as with the war crimes that are being committed by the state of Israel against nearly all its neighbors on a daily basis. The most recent abomination committed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his band of thugs is the cutting off of food, medicine and temporary hou...

Trump Just Doesn’t Get It on Drugs

Trump blames other countries like Canada, Mexico, and China for the drug problem in the U.S. and thinks the solution is to raise taxes on Americans by raising tariffs. The terrible truth, as recently stated by Jacob Hornberger, is simply this: “American consumers want drugs and are willing to pay for them. To meet that enormous demand, other people sell them the drugs they want to buy.”
