Our Way of Life
Sometimes I worry that I won’t have anything to write about. But then a knucklehead shows up on television from either the right or left to say something stupid. If you are young, let me save you years of frustration. All politicians are knuckleheads, and very few of them have the guts to ask critical…

The Bond Scam
What would happen if we got rid of the bond market I’ve been looking at the bond market for over 35 years, and it’s as confusing today as it was 35 years ago. It shouldn’t be confusing for a bond is just a loan. Yet economists have gobbledygooked bonds into a state of incomprehensibility. They…

The Bombs
Today, according to the MSM, pipe bombs were sent to various Democratic Party leaders and sympathizers. Bombs were sent to CNN as well. CNN contributors are already champing at the bit to blame Trump. Oddly, none of the bombs went off. Not so oddly, no one in the MSM has offered the possibility that these…

It’s Your Republic
When Ben Franklin exited Independence Hall, he was asked what type of government we would have. He answered: A republic if you can keep it. That’s an odd reply. I guess he must’ve known something.

Venezuela is dying. The country lived large a few years ago; it was making a helluvalota money in oil with which it lived large. Unfortunately Venezuela didn’t follow the advice of Ben Franklin who would have advised them that a penny saved is a penny earned. Or to save for a rainy day. Instead Venezuela…

He threatened the government of Honduras that there would be hell to pay if they didn’t stop the caravan. Who is he…

Going for the Gusto
No healthcare system can hold up against greed. No innovation can stand up against greed. No reform can stand up against greed. Greed kills all. Greed is the mother of death. Corporate greed is the biggest mother of all. Sensible reforms to healthcare corporations involve the following acknowledgements, epiphanies and measures: CEO pay must be fixed.…

The Best and Brightest?
I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but the basis of your educational system, the almighty GPA, and the SAT, is damaged goods. These metrics don’t cull out the best and brightest, and they discriminate against you. These metrics are constructed by elites to select students who think like the elites. These metrics…

Princess Eugenie’s Big Day
Define obscenity. Princess Eugenie’s big day. That’s what the media called it: Her big day. What about the big day for the Yemenese who have nothing but cholera thanks to the greed of the US and GB who support the ruthless Saudi regime’s crackdown on their country? What about the big day for the Jamaicans who live…

A Tale of Two Brothers
Many years ago, and it could be just about any century after the year 1500, and in any country, there were two brothers, let us call them Brother A and Brother B. But their names could have been Helmut and Horst, Pierre and Claude, Jim and Dave or any pair of names from any country.…
