If you were caught up in the midst of a massive earthquake – the kind that takes down buildings and buckles roads – would you know what to do? I’m not talking about a minor temblor that shakes a glass off the counter and sends it to shatter on the floor. I’m talking about The Big One. The one for which we are long overdue. The United States has several active fault zones, and some of them are capable of producing extremely destructive quakes. While most people think of the West Coast (and for excellent reason), there are massive faults … Continue reading →

This short piece continues series on some “Deeply Momentous Things” — that is, American intervention in the First World War. (See Part One.) As the first installment has shown in a general way, the background of the war among Europe and its extensions (Canada, Australia, etc.) is crucial to understanding how the United States would eventually declare war on the Central Powers. More specifics on this issue will help us understand just what the might of the United States meant to the warring powers. European leaders on both sides hoped to change the dynamic of the war in January 1917. … Continue reading →

Your skills, knowledge and social capital will emerge unscathed on the other side of the re-set wormhole. Your financial assets held in centrally controlled institutions will not. Longtime correspondent C.A. recently asked a question every American household should be asking: which assets are most likely to survive the “system re-set” that is now inevitable? It’s a question of great import because not all assets are equal in terms of survivability in crisis, when the rules change without advance notice. If you doubt the inevitability of a system implosion/re-set, please read Is America In A Bubble (And Can It Ever Return To “Normal”)? This brief … Continue reading →

The violence shamefully on full display several nights ago at the UC Berkeley campus is an alarming reminder of just how far Americans have now gone astray in allowing the ruling elite to divide us. The repeated scenes of rioters viciously acting out their rampage determined to shut down free speech in America and deliver violent civil unrest to foment a national crisis in this divided nation is bent on undermining the Trump presidency. Unfortunately, this political violence is becoming increasingly common. Is America on the brink of a second civil war? This presentation explores this potentiality focusing on the … Continue reading →

Hopes for the Trump administration are not burning brightly. Trump’s military chief, Gen. Mattis, is turning out to be true to his “mad dog” nickname. He has just declared that Iran “is the single biggest state sponsor of terrorism in the world.” He has declared Russia to be the number one threat to the US. He has threatened intervention in China’s territorial affairs. I was wrong. I thought Gen. Mattis was a reasonable choice as he rejects the efficacy of torture, and, according to Trump, convinced Trump that “torture doesn’t work.” Apparently, Mattis cannot reach beyond this realization to higher … Continue reading →

As the use of technology becomes increasingly commonplace, more and more people – of all ages – are suffering from myopia, or nearsightedness. Research has shown that myopia diagnoses have increased 66 percent since the 1970s. Nearsightedness develops when the eyeball becomes larger than the normal size. As a result, the angle at which the light enters the eye changes, leading to abnormal focus on the objects that are far away. But staring at a computer screen all the time is not the only culprit of the growing myopia rates. Researchers suggest that insufficient sunlight exposure is also a contributing … Continue reading →

Is Donald Trump to be allowed to craft a foreign policy based on the ideas on which he ran and won the presidency in 2016? Our foreign policy elite’s answer appears to be a thunderous no. Case in point: U.S. relations with Russia. During the campaign Trump was clear. He would seek closer ties with Russia and cooperate with Vladimir Putin in smashing al-Qaida and ISIS terrorists in Syria, and leave Putin’s ally Bashar Assad alone. With this diplomatic deal in mind, President Trump has resisted efforts to get him to call Putin a “thug” or a “murderer.” Asked during … Continue reading →

Can you afford an emergency? Not a “must see Beyoncé live” crisis, but a 911 situation requiring cold hard cash to the tune of $1,000. Think dental surgery or bailing a relative out of jail. If you’re like two-thirds of Americans who don’t have a spare grand, start saving now–like your life depends on it. How robust should your emergency fund be? It depends. If you own a home or a car, you’ll need more for inevitable repairs. Regardless of your assets, experts suggest saving the equivalent of several months salary, should you get laid off. This calculator tells you what your threshold of … Continue reading →
