Most Americans assume that their votes decide who the next president will be, but that is actually not the case.  It is the Electoral College that will elect the next president, and they don’t meet until December 19th.  And the truth is that all of the members of the Electoral College never meet in one place.  Rather, electors gather together in all 50 state capitals on the second Wednesday in December, and it is at that time that the next president and vice president are officially elected.  Of course members of the Electoral College have voted according to the will … Continue reading →

The confectionery corporation Mondelez International Inc. has announced it will be downsizing its beloved Swiss chocolate bar Toblerone due to the high cost of ingredients. The Illinois-based company said in a Facebook post: “We carry these costs for as long as possible, but to ensure Toblerone remains on-shelf, is affordable and retains the triangular shape, we have had to reduce the weight of just two of our bars in the U.K.” Adjusting the size and weight of their products is a common practice for manufacturers of food and beverages. It’s called “shrinkflation” and works as a cost-cutting maneuver. In adjusting … Continue reading →

Used to dramatic theatrics even if many of them sounded dead serious, dozens of celebs vowed over the last few months to depart the US if Donald Trump won the White House, saying they’d buy a one-way ticket to everywhere from Canada to Jupiter. And perhaps some of them planned on carrying through on their threat: overnight Canada’s immigration website crashed from heavy traffic after it became clear that Trump would win. The question, however, now is how many of these provocateurs will be true to their word, especially in a world in which long-held conventions just got slammed overnight: … Continue reading →

The US presidential election is historic because the American people were able to defeat the oligarchs.  Hillary Clinton, an agent for the Oligarchy, was defeated despite the vicious media campaign against Donald Trump.  This shows that the media and the political establishments of the political parties no longer have credibility with the American people. It remains to be seen whether Trump can select and appoint a government that will serve him and his goals to restore American jobs and to establish friendly and respectful relations with Russia, China, Syria, and Iran. It also remains to be seen how the Oligarchy will … Continue reading →

Donald Trump’s jaw-dropping White House win is a slap in the face for Barack Obama, elected eight years ago as the country’s first black president on the promise of a nation united. At the political level, Hillary Clinton‘s defeat is certainly a setback for Obama, who campaigned hard for his former secretary of state, traveling across the country and employing the charisma and charm that she sorely lacks. But, aside from being the loss of a typical battle between the two major American political parties, the 70-year-old real estate tycoon’s success is also a stinging personal blow for Obama. Current … Continue reading →

The forgotten man decided the presidential election. Donald Trump persuaded the forgotten man to repose his anger and frustration and power into Trump’s hands. Who is the forgotten man? What does he want from government? Why did he vote for Trump? When the tide began to turn against Hillary Clinton on Tuesday night, I planned to write this column about the unwarranted and unlawful injection of the FBI into the political process. At the time, I was seated with the Fox News number-crunchers and generally was exposed to trends and vote totals — and the number crunchers’ lucid explanation of … Continue reading →

Originally published by AmmoLand.com USA – If you’re like many gun owners, you don’t carry a firearm every day even though you have your concealed carry license. Maybe it’s because while you realize the importance of being armed, you just don’t feel comfortable carrying in public. Maybe you’re worried everyone will know you have a gun. Or maybe you’re concerned you might make a mistake, like dropping your gun in the cereal isle at the grocery store. That’s okay. All it takes is practice to make carrying a firearm feel safe and familiar. Why are the most advertised Gold and Silver … Continue reading →

Congratulations to everyone who stood up when no-one gave us a chance. You did it, and I am proud to stand beside each and every person who joined the movement to Make America Great Again.   Click to enlarge Forgive my indulgence as I take an opportunity to recap a very important aspect to this election that must be hammered home lest the professional political class be allowed to obfuscate the reality of the situation. For many of us, last night was the culmination of several years worth of painstakingly difficult effort, which began long before Donald Trump announced his … Continue reading →

Please read my election note at the end of the essay. There are many sources of rage: injustice, the destruction of truth, powerlessness. But if we had to identify the one key source of non-elite rage that cuts across all age, ethnicity, gender, and regional boundaries, it is this: The Ruling Elite is protected from the destructive consequences of its predatory dominance. We see this reality across the entire political, social and economic landscape. Myths, Misunderstandings and Outright lies about owning Gold. Are you at risk? If I had to pick one chart that illustrates the widening divide between the … Continue reading →

Las Vegas is said to be constantly reinventing itself. What was once “Sin City” has gone through it’s Rat Pack days, it’s family friendly days, it’s “what happens here stays here” phase, and now it’s “pay for parking” phase. Arriving at the Mirage to spend hundreds on dinner and more hundreds watching “Love” I was made speechless when the valet parker, no doubt seeing my Nevada license plates, sheepishly told me, “you know we now charge for valet.”  I asked how much. “Between $13 and $18.” With a car full of out-of-town guests, I could only reply, “okay.” Later I … Continue reading →
