Integral to the implausible claim that Donald Trump has wrested the GOP from “conservatives” is a recent statement by former G.W. Bush speechwriter and Fox-news wise man, Marc Thiessen in The Washington Post that “Trump has followed a consistent strategy of neutralizing traditional Democratic attacks by adopting the Democrats’ positions.” A striking example of this strategy cited by Thiessen is Trump’s foreign policy, which sees him “campaigning from the isolationist Left.” Aside from the inconvenient fact that Trump has announced that as president he’ll “knock the sh-t out of ISIS,” there is absolutely no reason that an intelligent person would … Continue reading →

In a book set to be released on Tuesday, former Secret Service agent Gary J. Byrne details his time in the White House serving former president Bill Clinton and former first lady Hillary Clinton. Byrne claims within the pages of the book that Bill Clinton had a ‘jogging list’ and would have Secret Service ‘take the names of attractive women he saw while out exercising’. In Byrne’s new book, ‘Crisis of Character: A White House Secret Service Officer Discloses His Firsthand Experience with Hillary, Bill, and How They Operate‘, the former White House security makes no apologies for his criticisms … Continue reading →

The Brexit vote shows that a majority of the British voters understand that the UK government represents interests other than the interests of the British people. As difficult as the British know it is to hold their own government to account, they understand they have no prospect whatsoever of holding the EU government to account. During their time in the EU, the British have been reminded of historical times when the law was the word of the sovereign. The propagandists who comprise the Western political and media establishments succeeded in keeping the real issues out of public discussion and presenting … Continue reading →

Water and carbon dioxide are life-giving chemical compounds. Life, on Earth, could not exist without these compounds. What else do they have in common? Well, both are also byproducts of mankind’s fossil-fuel energy production. For example, a gasoline internal combustion engine produces exhaust comprised of 71% nitrogen, 14% carbon dioxide, 12% water vapor; with the remaining 3% consisting of trace gases. Coal, natural gas, and petroleum-burning power plants also emit both carbon dioxide and water vapor. So, if bureaucrats, environmentalists, politicians and scientists want to deem—and properly so—the aforementioned carbon dioxide emissions as “manmade” then water-vapor emissions must be deemed … Continue reading →

It’s hard to imagine a better endorsement of Donald Trump’s economic policies – whatever they may be, whenever he finds the time to explain them – than the recent endorsement of Hillary Clinton by former Goldman Sachs CEO and U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson.  As the man in charge of the biggest explosion of corporate welfare in world history – the “TARP” bailouts, he defined himself as a sworn enemy of capitalism and a socialist when it comes to the capital markets.  Socializing billions of dollars in investment bank, insurance company, and automobile industry losses with taxpayer dollars qualifies Paulson … Continue reading →

They shouldn’t have tried to scare us. It is a sign of how little the Remainers understand or know about Britain, and above all about England, that they thought that would work. I do sometimes wonder if these odd denatured shiny types, who actively prefer foreign rule to their own, ever visit their own country. Confined to glossy multicultural London neighbourhoods for most of the year, they then hurry abroad. Most of them are more familiar with Florence or Barcelona than they are with the equal glory of Lincoln Cathedral, whose history, beauties and significance are alike unknown to them. … Continue reading →

Okay, so, my last two articles have been kind of heavy. I think we could all use a great laugh right now. So, okay, the global economy. I see this whole Brexit thing and everyone is freaking out. I thought Brexit was some kind of new men’s cologne or something. Then I saw this. Wow, so Britain really pulled out of the European Union? And now every stock market is acting like it’s the Great Depression worldwide. Come on, man, I can smell this scam coming a mile away. Oh, wait, this is our European brethren talking: I can smell … Continue reading →

Janet Yellen should send a note of congratulations to Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson, the British politicians most responsible for pushing the Brexit campaign to a successful conclusion. While she’s at it she should also send them some fruit baskets, flowers, Christmas cards, and a heartfelt “thank you.“ That’s because the successful Brexit vote, and the uncertainty and volatility it has introduced into the global markets, will provide the Federal Reserve with all the cover it could possibly want to hold off on rate increases in the United States without having to make the painful admission that domestic economic weakness … Continue reading →

This is a forgotten aspect of American history. It is worth mentioning. The Preamble is the most famous section of the Constitution. We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. The phrase, “We the People of the United States,” has been quoted ever since its adoption in 1788. But it was not in the original Preamble. … Continue reading →

By Dr. Mercola Many people are now aware of the importance of your gut microbiome. Some even take proactive steps to protect it, like minimizing the use of antibiotics and eating fermented foods to support a healthy balance. Less widely known is that such microorganisms don’t only populate your gut; they’re found throughout your body, including on your skin. Just as your gut depends on a balanced microbial state to function optimally, the balance of bacteria and other microbes on your skin also matters. What’s more, the average American showers close to once each day,1 a hygiene habit that may be … Continue reading →

War with Russia appears increasingly likely as the US and its NATO satraps continue their military provocations of Moscow. As dangers mount,  our foolish politicians should all be forced to read, and then re-read, Prof. Christopher Clark’s magisterial book, ‘The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914.’ What is past increasingly appears prologue. Prof. Clark carefully details how small cabals of anti-German senior officials in France, Britain and Russia  engineered World War I, a dire conflict that was unnecessary, idiotic, and illogical. Germany and Austria-Hungary, of course, share some the blame, but to a much lesser degree than the … Continue reading →

I always thought the Freuds a pretty sordid bunch, and after the latest revelations, it seems I wasn’t far off. I first met Clement Freud when John Aspinall employed him as an adviser for food and wine. He was lugubrious and aggressive, and none of us punters liked him one bit. He was not a gambler but talked as if he were a big one. While crossing the Atlantic on board the QE2 back in 1974, he tried to play the tough guy with me over—yes, you guessed it—a lady, but it didn’t work. But there’s no use giving him … Continue reading →
