How America Was Destroyed

Those who control the Democrat Party are concerned about Kamala’s election chances.  Little wonder.  She represents the most anti-American, anti-Constitution, anti-white, anti-peace regime in US history.  Top Democrats are concerned that Trump will not only take the swing states, despite the multiple theft mechanisms Democrats have in place, but also some blue states.  Polls are revealing that a majority of men of color see Trump as a leader of America and Kamala as a destroyer of America.  Thos...

Gold Climbing From Record High To Record High: Why Buy Now?

There is no question that gold owners have been finally and spectacularly vindicated over the last months: the “barbarous relic”, the “worthless shiny rock”, as many have called the yellow metal, once again proved its value as a true safe haven. In the face of inflation, intense geopolitical turmoil and widespread uncertainty, investors fled to safety “en masse”, as they consistently, repeatedly and predictably have done for decades (if not centuries), inevitably pushing the gold price to unprec...

Democrats Have Already Suspended Article II of the U.S. Constitution

Today I had a long conversation with one of my oldest friends, who happens to believe that Donald Trump poses a grave threat to democracy.

I asked him the following question:

“Do you believe that we are currently living in a democracy as defined by the Articles of the U.S. Constitution for representative government?”

“Yes,” he replied.

“Then who is currently holding the executive power as defined by Article II?” I asked. After some gentle prodding, he admitted that it does not seem to be Joe Bid...

Making Manhood Great Again

As I write, Trump just wrapped up a euphoric Madison Square Garden event. Its packed audience was treated to an evening of common sense, humor and America-loving courage—a New York taste of Reaganesque optimism. Best of all, this spectacle occurred right in the middle of the Left’s vaunted stronghold; and who didn’t love the blazing rendition New York, New York at the end?

While anything could happen by election day, the political juxtaposition of bold optimism and demonic lusts couldn’t be more...

Speaking of Abortion

What were they thinking after they shoved “Joe Biden” into the abyss, like an old refrigerator over the edge of the landfill, and afterward settled — instantly it appears, with no process at all — on Kamala Harris to lead the party to victory in the fall election? I will tell you: they were not thinking at all. The collective mind of the Democrat elite was a vast vacuum devoid of thought, mass, or light, like a corner of deepest space, lacking even a particle of cosmic debris to evoke the existe...

Take Me Back to the Old Game

At the time I came to this country in 1948, baseball was unrivaled by other sports, and it seemed to my 11-year-old self to be at the very center of American life. I remember it well, staying at the Plaza Hotel on Fifth Avenue and hearing about it in the lobby and on the radio: The Yankees had lost the pennant to the Cleveland Indians, now called the Guardians due to political correctness. The Indians went on to win the World Series against the Boston Braves, a team that I think is now called th...

Consolidating Recent Rises

This week, against a background of the BRICS summit in Kazan gold and silver paused, consolidating their recent heady runs. In European trade this morning, spot gold was $2720, unchanged from last Friday’s close, and silver was $33.25, down 40 cents on the same timeframe. Comex volumes were healthy, consistent with bull market turnover.

Undoubtedly, traders will be locking in some profits, because they account in fiat, not gold. But does it make sense for investors hedging fiat currency risk?

The Problem With Voting for Candidates With Biblical Values

If you attend, or have attended, a conservative, evangelical, or fundamentalist church, you have probably been told how important it is to vote for candidates with family values, moral values, traditional values, or biblical values.

Now, I certainly support family values, moral values, traditional values, and biblical values, but I don’t partake of the sacrament of the American civil religion called voting. I have already made known my view of politics and given twenty reasons why I don’t vote s...

Is Sugar the Deadliest White Powder Drug?

Although I’ve been reading the New York Times every morning for almost 45 years, I’ve gradually become more and more disgusted with it, and occasionally say so in my articles.

For example, back in 2016 I wrote:

For decades I’ve been closely reading several major newspapers every morning, and for the last few years have noticed a striking decline in the quality of their scientific coverage, as exemplified in the weekly Science Section of the New York Times. Whereas in the past, dramatic discoveri...

Government Gaslights People About the Economy

Public opinion polls consistently show the economy is one of the top issues, if not the top issue, for American voters. This may strike some as odd, since official government statistics show low unemployment and declining price inflation, suggesting the Federal Reserve has engineered a “soft landing” bringing down inflation without causing a recession. So why the concern over the economy? One reason is more people are realizing government economic figures hide the truth about the economy.

“Reces...
