For the better part of a year, I haven’t felt like myself. I was lethargic, depressed and always on the verge of catching the latest virus circulating around, even though I was taking supplements and eating a healthy diet. After having enough of feeling crappy all the time, I took a food allergy test and found out I had a food intolerance to dairy, gluten, and a few other food types. For years I had heard of people talking about the Wheat Belly book and thought it was impossible to live that healthy of a lifestyle. Well, folks, my time … Continue reading

A foreign army consisting of 31,000 soldiers from an anti-American alliance are conducting military “exercises” a few miles from San Diego. Hundreds of tanks converge on the Rio Grande, while jets from 24 countries converge in attack formation, darting through Mexican skies. It isn’t hard to imagine Washington’s response. Yet that’s precisely what has been happening on Russia’s border with the NATO alliance, as the cold war returns. Economic sanctions aimed at sinking Russia’s fragile economy, plus a propaganda campaign designed to characterize Russian President Vladimir Putin as the second coming of Stalin – or, in Hillary Clinton’s view, Hitler … Continue reading

I could write a book about the Orlando shooting, its antecedents and its exploitation by the Progressive State of America.  Alas, that won’t be necessary.  If you understand two key concepts, you can unravel the whole puzzle very quickly.  If you don’t understand them, you will be quickly swept out to sea by a progressive rip tide, not ever knowing what hit you. First, the government creates its own demand.  Second, once you understand what progressivism is, you then immediately understand how progs robotically react to each new crisis. The government is perhaps the least understood institution because so far … Continue reading

As Donald Trump flew in to Scotland today after the UK’s seismic break with the European Union, parallels have been drawn with the anti-immigration message that led to Brexit and his rise to presumptive Republican presidential candidate. Many have pointed out the similarities between Britain’s decision to leave the EU and Trump’s campaign – and believe it is an indication of how Americans will vote on November 8, which could see Trump in the White House. The Donald’s arrival in the UK will be seen by many as a meeting of minds – two worlds colliding with shared views including … Continue reading

Yesterday, we warned “EU is nothing without Britain,” and it seems that is being borne out by today’s price action. There are two big losers from the Brits’ decision to “Leave” – UK Billionaires… and the rest of Europe. First of all, UK stocks dropped almost 3% today – no doubt an ugly day – but look at the complete catastrophe across The EU… Why are the most advertised Gold and Silver coins NOT the best way to invest?   In fact the British stock market is the best performing European stock market today. But there is an even bigger … Continue reading

Brexit has won.  A joyous occasion for fans of decentralization. Now, what?  Markets are certainly in turmoil – the Pound is falling historically; gold is rising; equity markets everywhere are falling; volatility is all the rage. But this will all pass…perhaps until the next vote.  The Dutch are already pushing; so are the French.  More will come. As an aside, take it further: not every county and city in Britain voted to leave.  Why not let each locality decide if it chooses to stay or go?  After this, why not each household?  Why not? And why stop at the EU?  … Continue reading

Today we have two presumptive candidates and it is obvious to anyone with the ability to think clearly that Trump’s opportunity cost is Hillary. It is not Gary Johnson or any other candidate. Whether you dislike his style, his arrogance, or whatever else you cannot stomach about him, it is time to realize that the choice is as stark as the choice between the Whites and the Reds in Russia in 1917.  As bad as you think that the last Russian Czar Nicholas II, Chiang Kai-shek of China, or Fulgencio Batista of Cuba were, they were all “humanists” in comparison … Continue reading

A billboard for Comcast pitches a lineup of “reality” shows, with this caption, “Recommended for you. Because the real reality is boring.” In contemporary America, real reality is also less real than Big Brother’s cartoony version. While we’re driving, walking, at work, lying in bed or even in the bathroom, Big Brother dictates what we know. Big Brother’s hypnotic screens have become our arbitrator of reality. What capture us most are not the propaganda images, which can be ludicrously unconvincing, but the voice over. If Big Brother says it, it must be true. Unlike in Orwell’s 1984, Big Brother does … Continue reading

So ride your bubble of choice up–stocks, bonds, housing, bat guano, take your pick–but it’s best to keep your thumb on the sell button. One person’s bubble is another person’s “fair market value.” What is clearly an outrageously overvalued asset perched at nosebleed levels of central bank fueled speculative euphoria is to the owner an asset at “fair market value.” But beneath the euphoric confidence that valuations can only drift higher forever and ever is the latent fear that something could stick a pin in “my bubble” — that is, whatever bubblicious asset we happen to own and treasure as … Continue reading

In 2008, Barack Obama promised a fundamental transformation of America. Where that promise has gone unfulfilled the most is in areas of sexual and racial discrimination. What’s worse is the official sanction given to such discrimination. Let’s look at some of it. Visit just about any California men’s prison and you will see that one’s race determines whom the cells with, the toilet and shower he uses, and what recreation areas he enjoys. Then there is sexual discrimination. Female correctional officers earn the same pay as their male counterparts. However, when it comes to extracting a dangerous inmate from his … Continue reading

Britain is leaving the European Union. But that reality doesn’t begin to tell the story of the larger historical forces at work that are reshaping global politics, the global economy, and global culture and have been for much of the last decade. The survival of the EU is actually of little consequence. The union is dead and will probably be in its death throes for years. Germany, France, and a few other northern European countries will keep the dream of a united Europe alive, but on the periphery – especially the southern European nations of Italy, Greece, Spain, and Portugal – the … Continue reading
