We all know the Biden administration has lost its mind when it comes to climate alarmism. We all agree on clean air and water. We all realize that climate does change, although the time frame is often hundreds or even thousands of years. Science (the real kind, not the UN propaganda) has made it clear…

Thanks to Elon Musk opening up the Twitter files to the public, we now know just how rotten and corrupt the White House, FBI, and Twitter under Jack Dorsey were in terms of rigging the 2020 election, crushing voices that said the vaccines don’t work (they don’t), and that Russia is winning in Ukraine (they…

Here’s the key question for Democrats at this early stage of the 2024 election cycle. On the one hand, they regard Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as some kind of fringe candidate or worse. They talk about his past environmental activism and anti-vaccine positions as being kooky and unacceptable (never mind that no one is more…

I’ve written a lot about central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) including the U.S. dollar version that I call “Biden Bucks.” The threat from CBDCs is enormous. They are digital (but not true cryptocurrencies), which means they are programmable. The Treasury and Fed can use the CBDC ledger to track your purchases, look at your political…

The de-dollarization story is everywhere. You see it in publications from The New York Times to The Economist and in financial media including CNBC, Fox Business and Bloomberg. The idea is that countries around the world are preparing to ditch the dollar. This takes many forms including efforts by China to pay for imported oil from Saudi Arabia and…

It may seem ridiculous to start writing about the 2024 presidential election in June 2023, but that’s the world we live in. The truth is twelve candidates from both parties have declared they are running, the first primary debates are only three months away, and the New Hampshire primary is only eight months away. We’re…

The year 2010 marked a major inflection in central bank gold purchases and the overall level of gold reserves held by central banks and finance ministries on a global basis. In 1950, the United States held about 20,000 metric tonnes of gold bullion. By 1970, the U.S. gold hoard had shrunk to 9,000 metric tonnes.…

You’ve all heard the cries from the climate alarmists and green new scammers: “Wildfires are increasing because of global warming!”…“The ice is melting in Antarctica!” … “Hurricanes will destroy coastal cities!” and so on and on. These claims are cranked out by corrupt so-called scientists working on grants from global elitist foundations and are echoed…
