QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong I live in Israel and today I listened to your podcast with Macrovoices. At some point you mentioned that there is more oil in Golan heights than in Saudi Arabia -and this oil belongs to genie energy. Is it true? How can it be that nobody knew nothing about this in Israel? Are you sure 100 % about this information? I will be happy to know more about this. Current Prices on popular forms of Silver Bullion ANSWER: Yes. This is one of the best kept secrets. You can imagine that if this went into production, then … Continue reading →

About a decade ago, the IRS started communicating with taxpayers by email. While the IRS never contacts taxpayers by email about their personal tax situation, they offer a variety of IRS e-news subscriptions. These include news releases, tax law updates, information for tax professionals, etc. Most of the messages the IRS sends are mind-numbing. Just a few days ago, I received an announcement that the IRS was seeking “Public Comment on Recommendations for 2017-2018 Priority Guidance Plan.” Dull though that may be, it’s better than this one: “Rev. Proc. 2017-33, 26 CFR 1.168(k)-1: Additional first year depreciation. (Also Part 1, … Continue reading →

I rely on Amazon Reader Reviews to inform me about books I am contemplating. But this time, I opened the Reviews just to revel in others’ comments about a book I felt, and feel today, is among the very best histories I have ever read, Thomas Fleming’s A Disease in the Public Mind. But I was amazed at the high percentage of one-star and two-star reviews, and so I opened those. And what I found was stunning. What I found in those one-star and two-star reviews were clouds of mad, slurring, scoffing, sarcastic impugning of Fleming and his motives and … Continue reading →

You’ve heard the saying – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it? True enough. But there are also things you can’t fix once broken. The car will never be quite right again – and may be a lot wrong. These Irreparables include: * Water damage – This has always been a killer; a water-logged interior almost inevitably means a soon-to-be-moldy interior. Carpet and insulation sops up the water, wicking it up into places that are dark and not well-ventilated. If areas like the interiors of door panels, the underside of the roof, the trunk and so on that aren’t supposed … Continue reading →

Well, we knew it was coming. Have a look. Now, do we really think that Senator Elizabeth Warren actually cares about people well outside her caste? Of course not. We sit here in America and think we haven’t got a caste system, but we do. And Warren is in the top caste. So, her sympathy for the Untouchables is touching, but it’s so plastic that it’ll take 10,000 years to biodegrade. Of course, this is all the beginnings of her run for president in 2020. We knew it was coming. I figured it would be her or Nancy Pelosi. Maybe both on … Continue reading →

The car business has been rockin’ since the financial crash.  The headline on Automotive News just a few days ago screamed “GM’s Q1 profits surge 34% on North American Strength.”  It was the best quarter Government Motors has posted since emerging from bankruptcy in 2009. “It was the eighth consecutive quarter in which GM’s results topped expectations on Wall Street,” writes Nick Bunkley. Meanwhile, Ford posted a 35% decline in Q1 profits. The website Jalopnik.com points out “For a couple years, the Morning Shift story at the beginning of every month was ‘Another month of record sales!’”  But, as Kristen … Continue reading →

PARIS – France is holding its breath as this weekend’s second-round presidential vote approaches.  The first round vote on 23 April left two winners: National Front leader Marine Le Pen and centrist Emmanuel Macron. Polls show newcomer Macron with an overwhelming 60/40 lead over Marine Le Pen.  But many French are very nervous that a surprise electoral upset may occur if undecided voters and shut-out leftists throw their votes to Le Pen’s National Front Party. Le Pen has vowed to ditch the Euro, pull out of the European Union and make life miserable for France’s five million impoverished, marginalized Muslims.  … Continue reading →

It’s been a while since I have commented on anything regarding the current pope.  That ends today! Those Rotten Libertarians The pope recently offered a critique, based on numerous strawmen, of libertarianism.  Several people have rightly offered a response.  The few that I have read have been respectful, attempting a rational and reasoned dialogue with the pope on this topic. Well, this will not be of that type.  I will not bother with a point by point rebuttal; others have done that all too well.  My approach will be different – as you might have surmised, given the title of … Continue reading →

In a memo dated November 30, 1957, an agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation identified as “A. Jones” raised an issue of critical importance: “Several complaints to the Bureau have been made concerning the ‘Mad’ comic book [sic], which at one time presented the horror of war to readers.” Attached to the document were pages taken from a recent issue of Mad that featured a tongue-in-cheek game about draft dodging. Players who earned such status were advised to write to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and request a membership card certifying themselves as a “full-fledged draft dodger.” At least … Continue reading →

Lyme disease makes every trip to the outdoors a little less fun. The threat of this tick-borne pathogen forces us to take extra precautions every time we venture out into nature. Fortunately, Lyme disease mainly proliferates in a few specific regions of the country, such as the Northeast and the Great Lakes region. The majority of Americans only have to worry about the ticks themselves, and not the diseases they carry. There are still plenty of wilderness areas that lie just outside of Lyme disease hotspots. However, many of the places that everyone assumes are safe from this disease, may … Continue reading →

Late last week, President Donald Trump told CBS News that domestic surveillance of American citizens should the “No. 1” topic of inquiry until we can find out “what the hell is going on” with it. Also late last week, the National Security Agency — the federal government’s 60,000-person-strong domestic spying agency — announced that it would voluntarily hold back on its more aggressive uses of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. That section permits the NSA to capture communications between foreigners and Americans without a warrant from any court, even though the NSA has its own secret court … Continue reading →
