Many European politicians and media pundits were profoundly shocked by Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election. However, according to Willy Wimmer, former Parliamentary State Secretary in the German Defense Ministry, with Hillary Clinton as president, a third world war would have been just around the corner. Donald Trump’s victory has prevented a global conflict, Willy Wimmer, a former Parliamentary State Secretary in the German Defense Ministry and a leading politician of the Christian Democratic Party (CDU), told Sputnik Deutschland on Wednesday. “I was so relieved, like never before, for I had a feeling this morning that this decision saved us from a great war. … Continue reading

One of the potential silver linings from the surprising victory for Donald Trump is the hope that a Republican White House will resurrect the left’s distrust of the Federal government. During the Obama administration, progressive activists have been noticeably less vocal on issues such as war, executive overreach, and civil liberty violations than they were when George W. Bush was in office. Encouragingly, we are already seeing signs of this with the idea of California secession buzzing on social media as demonstrators marched in Sacramento yesterday in support of the idea. As Business Insider reported: The group leading the charge, Yes … Continue reading

Outspoken Brexiteer Nigel Farage offered to the “responsible adult” in the room when British PM Theresa May and US President-Elect Trump meet. Keen for Britain and the USA to keep up its special relationship, The Sun reports Farage said he would be there to ensure Trump did not get out of hand. Physical Gold & Silver in your IRA. Get the Facts. (Apologies for the low volume audio) Speaking to James Whale on TalkRadio he was asked how he is going to make sure Trump behaves himself when he meets the Prime Minister for the first time, he replied: “I … Continue reading

Remember that song about making an ugly woman your wife so as to be happy for the rest of your life? It applies to cars just as much. Like the pretty girls, everyone wants the pretty cars. This drives up the cost of acquisition. Also, one tends to put up with more hassles than one otherwise might. Ugly girls, on the other hand, are appreciative – and inexpensive (usually). Same goes for ugly cars. Consider, as a for-instance, the notoriously unattractive Pontiac Aztek. And – even more so – its almost-as-homely sister, the Buick Rendezvous. Neither were bad rides. Just ugly … Continue reading

US president-elect Donald Trump has been honored with a water cannon salute at New York’s LaGuardia airport, the same facility he blasted as being “Third World” during the first presidential debate. Trump was awarded the ceremonial gesture as he undertook his first flight since winning the election, en route to meet President Barack Obama at the White House in Washington D.C. Myths, Misunderstandings and Outright lies about owning Gold. Are you at risk? The spraying is customarily carried out by fire trucks to form a series of arches during important occasions such as the retirement of a senior pilot or … Continue reading

Stunned political analysts are missing the most plausible argument explaining Donald Trump’s unexpected victory. The misreading of the American electorate stems from the political class’ acceptance of mistaken (and increasingly insane) economic dogma that has arisen over the past generation. Based on their flawed understanding of economics, the pundits could simply not understand why the electorate had become totally disillusioned. According to the ideas favored by economists on Wall Street, in government, and in the Federal Reserve, Americans should be enjoying a marginally good economy. Unemployment is low, home values and the stock markets are high, credit is cheap and … Continue reading
