What just happened (Friday) tells us much about what Trump must do on Monday. Thirty thousand people just lost their jobs – as opposed to the not one person actually harmed by VW’s “cheating” on the government’s emissions tests. The jobs go away because VW’s profits have. In order to pay the government (and shyster lawyers), the company can’t afford to pay wages to those 30,000 people. So, they’ve been pink slipped. This is just one – very real – measure of the human costs of an out-of-control regulatory apparat that imposes these costs on the basis of speculative or … Continue reading →

Donations to the Clinton Foundation plummeted amid Hillary Clinton’s failed presidential run, it has been revealed. The non-profit organization’s latest tax filings show contributions fell 37 per cent to $108million – down from $172million in 2014, according to the New York Post. Donations fell as the former Secretary of State left the group in April last year shortly after announcing her run for the White House. Her departure also meant that revenue brought in from paid speeches plunged from $3.6million in 2014 to just $357,500. Physical Gold & Silver in your IRA. Get the Facts. The foundation became an issue … Continue reading →

NEW YORK—The only thing worse than a sore loser, I suppose, is a sore winner, but thank God we don’t run into too many of those. Thirty years ago The Spectator and I lost a libel case that cost the then proprietor and yours truly a small fortune, and as it turned out after the plaintiff had gone to that sauna-like place below, everything that I had written was the truth and nothing but. (The hubby of the woman who sued me came clean after her death, but a lot of good that did the Speccie and myself.) The sainted … Continue reading →

Former congressman Ron Paul revealed a list of “fake news” journalists he claims are responsible for “bogus wars” and lies about Hillary Clinton’s chances of winning the election. Journalists from CNN, the New York Times, and the Guardian are included. Why are the most advertised Gold and Silver coins NOT the best way to invest? “This list contains the culprits who told us that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and lied us into multiple bogus wars,”according to a report on his website, Ron Paul Liberty Report. Paul claims the list is sourced and “holds a lot more water”than a … Continue reading →

Originally published by AmmoLand.com. USA – WLWT-TV 5 and FOX TV 19 reported in Middletown, Ohio, 11-03-2016 an incident happened after midnight on Monday in the 3100 block of Yale Drive.

The victim said “I started scratching, digging at his skin, pushing him, just knocking the crap out of him with my fists.” The hapless burglar was apparently stuck in the … Continue reading →

I have been writing publicly ever since 1958. Over the years, I have received my fair share of letters from crackpots, really stupid people, and people so far beyond the fringe that I wonder how they function. Nevertheless, I have received an email from a man who puts them all to shame. I wrote an article on a system of informing that would get illegal immigrants into a federal database. I called it Trump’s Squeal-a-Thon. With a title like that, you might conclude that I was not altogether serious. I am not saying that my plan would not work. I … Continue reading →

By Dr. Mercola When you go to the restaurant or grocery store, food fraud is probably the last thing on your mind. In his fantastic book, “Real Food/Fake Food: Why You Don’t Know What You’re Eating and What You Can Do About It,” Larry Olmsted, an investigative journalist and food critic, sheds much-needed light on this important topic. It’s loaded with solid information revealing just how prevalent food fraud actually is — and offers helpful guidance on how to make sure you’re actually getting what you’re paying for. “I’ve been writing about food and travel for a wide variety of … Continue reading →

In late October, when it was still conventional wisdom that Hillary was “guaranteed” to win the presidency, the WaPo explained that among the neo-con, foreign policy “elites” of the Pentagon, a feeling of calm content had spread: after all, it was just a matter of time before the “pacifist” Obama was out, replaced by the more hawkish Hillary. As the WaPo reported, “there is one corner of Washington where Donald Trump’s scorched-earth presidential campaign is treated as a mere distraction and where bipartisanship reigns. In the rarefied world of the Washington foreign policy establishment, President Obama’s departure from the White … Continue reading →

So when the protected class of well-paid institutional “progressives” speak darkly of “reversing 40 years of social progress,” what they’re really saying is we’re terrified that the bottom 95% might be waking up to our Great Con of identity politics and political correctness. To understand the Great Con of political correctness, we must first grasp the decline of the working class (self-described as “the middle class”), i.e. those who must sell their labor to earn their livelihood. Current Prices on popular forms of Silver Bullion Labor’s share of the national economy has been declining for 46 years: So where has … Continue reading →

At each of these great gates of history, eighty to a hundred years apart, a similar generational drama unfolded. Four archetypes, aligned in the same order – elder Prophet, midlife Nomad, young adult Hero, child Artist – together produced the most enduring legends in our history. Each time the Grey Champion appeared marked the arrival of a moment of “darkness, and adversity, and peril,” the climax of the Fourth Turning of the saeculum. – The Fourth Turning – Strauss & Howe In September 2015 I wrote a five part article called Fourth Turning: Crisis of Trust.

A long time ago there appeared in the once-revered New Yorker a cartoon. The scene was a concert venue, where a string quartet was about to perform. As the audience grew quiet, the cellist coughed, laid his bow to one side, and said: “Before we begin, I would like to say a few words about the war in Viet Nam.” Back then it was funny. Today it is a farce. As a long-time music critic for Saturday Review and High Fidelity magazines, I had a lasting and fairly informed impression that the rudest audiences in the country were in Boston. … Continue reading →
