EV Owners Are Finally Getting It Right. Better Late Than Never.
We’ve been warning for years that electric vehicles (EVs) were not feasible as a transportation solution for more than relatively few Americans and that they were little more than glorified golf carts despite the $70,000 and up price tags. In the first place, EVs don’t cut carbon emissions. The car itself does not have emissions,…
Read MoreSupremes Rule for Trump — Sort Of
It’s been a momentous past week for the Supreme Court. It’s released several important decisions that will have a significant impact on American politics.

Read MoreWe’ve Already Lost Faith in Government and Media. Universities Are Up Next.
Americans have lost faith in government because of the lies told about the pandemic, climate change and other critical public policy issues. Faith has also been lost in the medical profession because of the pandemic and vaccine lies. Social media platforms have also lost the trust of Americans because of their censorship and deplatforming of…
Read MoreMedical Warnings on Social Media? Or Just Another Censorship Plan?
We’re used to reading medical warnings on pharmaceuticals, devices and consent forms. Some of them seem highly technical and just legal boilerplate. Others are useful in warning about side effects, allergic reactions, and drugs that should not be taken in conjunction with other drugs. These warnings are required by agencies such as the Food and…
Read MoreWall Street Is All in On the Green New Scam
We’ve written extensively about the green new scam over the past several years. We’ve made the point that the best science shows that there is no climate emergency and that UN and other models that show extreme global warming are so badly flawed that they can’t even back test correctly, let alone forecast. Other evidence…

I have studied nuclear warfighting since the late 1960s and lived through the 1950s when nuclear attack drills were common in elementary schools. I vividly remember the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis when, as an 11-year-old, I studied maps to see if Soviet missiles in Cuba could reach my neighborhood in New Jersey at the time.…
Read MoreThe New Resistance Against Donald Trump Has Begun
+ Readers may have heard about the “resistance” to Donald Trump from inside the Deep State and the media. It began immediately after he was elected in 2016 and continued throughout Trump’s first term. Members of this resistance stole the name from the French Resistance, the underground movement that fought Nazi occupation in France during…
Read MoreU.S. Plays Russian Roulette
Since the start of the war in Ukraine, I’ve been warning about the dangers of escalation between the U.S. and Russia. We may be about to take a serious step up the escalation ladder. On Sunday, Ukraine launched an attack on Crimea with U.S.-supplied Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles. The target was likely a…
Read MoreDollar Takes a “Pounding”
You’ve probably heard that the U.S. economy is heavily “financialized.” What does that really mean? What is financialization? It’s a big topic and not very well defined. It can refer to the dominance of financial activity over traditional business activity in goods and services. It can refer to market bubbles. It can refer to the…
Read MoreNext Middle East War Imminent?
Had enough of the current Middle East war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza? Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news. But it’s time to get ready for the next phase of this war. The next Middle East war will also involve Israel. Except in this war, Israel’s guns will be pointing…
