Trump’s Inflationist Monetary Policy Favors Wall Street over Main Street

The Trump administration has tried to cultivate a reputation for preferring “Main Street over Wall Street.” Unfortunately, this image is belied by the administration’s renewed push for artificially low interest rates and monetary inflation. By embracing these policies, Trump has put himself squarely in the camp of “Wall Street over Main Street.”

This is because a policy of monetary inflation and low interest rates favors wealthy owners of assets while imposing higher prices and fewer income gain...

Will We See Mushroom Clouds Over Kashmir?

One of the world’s, oldest and most dangerous conflicts went critical this past week as nuclear armed India and Pakistan traded threats of war. The Kashmir conflict is the oldest one before the UN.

In my book `War at the Top of the World’ I warned that the confrontation over Kashmir, the beautiful mountain state claimed by both Islamabad and Delhi, could unleash a nuclear war that could kill millions and pollute the planet. 

After three wars and many clashes, it seemed the two bad neighbors had ...

The Government Wants Americans To Get Married and Have Many Babies. But Is That Part of Its Job?

problem with that is, for many decades, the government has contributed to the problem. Moreover, there are other, more trustworthy, institutions that can handle this sort of problem.

The birthrate in the U.S. is 1.6 children per woman, below the 2.1 replacement rate needed for the population to sustain itself without immigration. Up until recently, our leaders used this fact to justify the unceasing deluge of third-world migrants. Rather than address why the people who already live here aren’t h...

Nothing Really Happens in WWE Politics

As I’ve mentioned before, I have no idea why I still pay the slightest attention to politics. I derive absolutely no enjoyment from it. Changes that are absolutely essential never come. The changes that do occur just make things worse. And we continue to be “represented” by carnival barkers and grifters with capped teeth.

Behind these shameless frontmen/frontwomen/fronttheythems are an illusory group we still can’t really identify. Jews? Freemasons? The Vatican? I think it’s something like the I...

Why We Need Nullification

What can we do if Congress passes a bad law? For example, Congress mandates that billions of dollars be spent on aid programs to the Ukraine, the Middle East, and other troubled areas. Of course, we can protest or refuse to pay part of our taxes. But if you try that, the IRS will come after you. In this week’s column, I’m going to talk about a remedy for such bad laws. States have the power to nullify unconstitutional laws, so they do not apply within that state. If the Alabama legislature, for ...

Genuflecting to His Political Financiers and Puppet Masters

From Javier Milei’s X profile:

“On this day, 77 years ago, a state was born, modern yet ancient.  77 years of miracles, hope, courage, and determination.

77 years where FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY rose above the DARKNESS.  I congratulate the State of Israel on its short but glorious 77 years of existence.  A country small in size but immense in spirit.  Like Argentina, Israel is a beacon of FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY.

AM ISRAEL JAI!

VLLC!

(The Israeli Constitution, as in The Communist Manifesto, makes it i...

Donald Trump: Militarist

Trump will host a military parade on June 14 in Washington, D.C. to honor U.S. military veterans and active-duty servicemembers and to commemorate the 250th birthday of the murderous U.S. Army. June 14 is also Trump’s birthday. But, of course, that has nothing to do with it.

Israel’s Nukes

David Martin wrote:

I have been informed by a correspondent that the site that I used for the explanation of why the Trump administration continues to lie for Israel about its nuclear arsenal has a credibility problem of its own.  One can spot it by reading the article carefully.  The headline says, “Israel has 90 nukes – but our leaders won’t say so because U.S. would have to cut off aid.”   The “90 nukes” wording is also in the subtitle and in the third paragraph.  But in the second paragraph ...
