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,…

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. This morning, the Supreme Court issued another major ruling. In a 6-3 decision, the court ruled that presidents do have immunity for official acts that they performed in office. The court…

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…

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…

+ 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…

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…

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…

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…
