The world’s only one man media empire
The experts shouldn’t be surprised that inflation doesn’t fall in a straight line in a relatively short period as they’ve been claiming. The historical record over the past 800 years is clear: Inflation can take decades, as in tens of years, to revert to the norm. Wall Street was stunned last week because inflation remains… Continue reading About that “stubbornly high” inflation
“This poor kid is down a hundred-foot vessel, chimney, scraping the hydrogen bubbles off of the inside,” the President told the Special Counsel. “And he was wearing the wrong pants, wrong jeans, and he—a spark caught fire...and he lost part of his penis and one of his testicles and he was 23 years old.” This… Continue reading Biden’s budget is as demented as he is
Like Bidenomics before it, the vibecession rests on two false assumptions, first that the economy is either the best ever or the worst ever, and second that declining inflation means declining prices. Besides, if the economy is so good, why is everyone saying the American dream is dead? Following the failure of “Bidenomics” to change people’s… Continue reading The “vibecession,” the truth about the economy, and the resilience of the American dream
2024 will be defined by a confluence of events most of which remain completely unpredictable, far more so than most years in modern memory. Call it the quantum mechanics or Schrödinger’s cat of years, where we will not know what happens until the waveforms collapse into history. 2020 was considered an extraordinary dumpster fire of… Continue reading 2024 might make 2020 seem like an ordinary year
The promise was that Joe Biden represented a return to normalcy and competence, but his administration lacks even the normalcy or competence to produce a Christmas video without politicizing the holiday season. In a sane world, producing a holiday video at the White House should not be either difficult or controversial. Conservatives might well demand… Continue reading The White House Christmas video says it all
The budget is an out of control beast, but this isn’t the first time elevated spending combined with massive inflation to threaten the economy. The Constitution gives the President the tools today as it did in the 1920s. All that’s missing is the will to do it the Coolidge way, cutting everywhere you can and… Continue reading Taming the budget the Calvin Coolidge way
While the Biden Administration brags about how inflation is declining, consider purchasing a car or a house where increased prices combine with spiking rates to cost consumers over a thousand per month, every single month. It’s no surprise almost two thirds of the country lives paycheck to paycheck and credit card debt is at an… Continue reading The automobile and housing markets reveals the death spiral of high inflation and high interest rates
The mainstream media is convinced the debacle over documents is the worst political crisis of President Biden’s tenure in office, even as they provide cover for him and the Department of Justice, but why are they ignoring all of the other disasters on his watch and the steady stream of lies and dissembling that have… Continue reading The media’s reaction to President Biden’s document scandal reveals how little they care about you
The new year begins with the feeling that little was resolved last year. The topics that dominated the conversation from political polarization to the war in Ukraine continue apace without resolution. 2023 should finally begin to provide some answers domestically, internationally, and politically. Future historians might look back on 2022 and identify it as a… Continue reading 2023: A year of continued questions and some possible answers
The President has chosen to mount a self-interested defense of democracy as his closing message for the midterm elections rather than defend his own record. It’s one of the most cynical strategies in modern memory for furthering dividing Americans in the obvious pursuit of power. It’s also dumb and hopeless because voters know the deal.… Continue reading Biden: Cynical, dumb, hopeless, or all three at the same time?
