It must be my week for posts about Trump… Ross Douthat has written a piece for the New York Times: “The Party Still Decides” (HTLRC). Calling on Lenin From Ross: POLITICAL parties are mentioned nowhere in the Constitution…. You would think this would end the conversation – well, in some countries maybe.  Not in banana republics. What did some of the founding fathers (for lack of a better term) think about political parties? There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in … Continue reading →

ReadyNutrition Readers, this article is going to highlight several effective naturopathic remedies to assist in the removal of radiation from the human body.  The information can be used if you are undergoing any treatments that have radiation therapy attached to them, such as chemotherapy, and can also be taken into consideration for preparation and survival.  We have Fukushima that is an ongoing release of radiation into the Pacific Ocean, and we also have a world situation where the nations are poised on the brink of thermonuclear war. Knowing what to do when this type of disaster occurs can save your life … Continue reading →

What goes around comes around, and we don’t just mean records on a turntable. Audiophiles swear by the sound quality of vinyl over CDs, MP3s, and other files, and now younger generations are starting to see the light. Vinyl sales continue to increase each year as CD sales drop, which means that more and more young people are borrowing albums from their parents or buying their own while those who grew up with them are perhaps dusting off their cherished collections. New records are typically more expensive than other formats, but fans would argue that the listening experience and ability … Continue reading →

Chart: Deaths of Roman Emperors vs. Coinage Debasement The Money Project is an ongoing collaboration between Visual Capitalist and Texas Precious Metals that seeks to use intuitive visualizations to explore the origins, nature, and use of money. Correlation does not necessarily imply causation. In other words, just because two sets of data may follow a similar pattern, it does not mean there is any direct causal relationship. However, as we were assembling our previous research on Currency and the Collapse of the Roman Empire, we noticed something that was too uncanny to skip past: during the 113-year stretch of time … Continue reading →

“If his poll numbers hold, Trump will be there six months from now when the Sweet 16 is cut to the Final Four, and he will likely be in the finals.” My prediction, in July of 2015, looks pretty good right now. Herewith, a second prediction. Republican wailing over his prospective nomination aside, Donald Trump could beat Hillary Clinton like a drum in November. Indeed, only the fear that Trump can win explains the hysteria in this city. Here is The Washington Post of March 18: “As a moral question it is straightforward. The mission of any responsible Republican should … Continue reading →

The post Is the GOP Slitting Its Wrists? appeared first on LewRockwell.

Throughout history, and in every part of the world, political rulers – and the elites who enable them – have been flattering the ‘agrarian’ classes for the benefit of the state. That these classes buy into it, no less today than ever before is an impediment to economic and political freedom. I have always loved agriculture and rural life but have never been of the opinion that people are morally superior merely for living in rural areas, or that those who farm deserve adulation and special privileges either because the economics of agriculture require it or because the production of … Continue reading →

The Japanese response to negative interest rates was to buy personal safes. The German response is to pull money out of bank accounts and stick it in safe deposit boxes. Both are perfectly understandable reactions to the prospect of having to pay interest to a bank for holding deposits. It is particularly interesting in Germany, where the Bundesbank a few years ago admitted that the average real rate of return on savings deposits has been negative for nearly the past 40 years. Now that nominal rates have turned negative too, the facade of savings accounts as a safe place to … Continue reading →
