Everyone already knows that America is already... Continue Reading →
“This is not a moment of crisis”
Photo of Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew: AP Images "This is not a moment of crisis". Isn't that what the Captain of the Titanic also said, as the iceberg appeared out of the fog? So, if it is not a moment of crisis, is it then an "Oh shit, moment"? I'm not sure the G20 participants... Continue Reading →
“The Decline and Fall of Hillary Clinton”
There are less than a handful of weekly blogs that I regularly follow for the wisdom and wit that I perceive in their writings.

It gets a little boring waiting for the world of national economies to go belly up,... Continue Reading →

“There’s No Understanding Anything Without A Grasp Of Its History”
"There’s no understanding anything without a grasp of its history—which, of course, is the American failing over and over again." The above is a quote by Patrick L. Smith, interviewer in this piece: “Intelligent people know that the empire is on the downhill”: A veteran CIA agent spills the goods on the Deep State and... Continue Reading →
