Victoria Nuland has gone to Africa. Gone to Africa to talk some sense into the Nigeriens and convince them to return to the shackles of Paris. Gone to Africa to harvest blood diamonds and cobalt. Gone to Africa to masturbate on Gaddafi’s grave. Gone to Africa to trade glass beads for slaves. Click for Full Text!

Right on the heels of seeing a downgrade of the creditworthiness of the United States itself, Moody’s has downgraded ten small to medium banks across the country, citing “financial strain” and “strains that could erode their profitability.” Six more banks are under review, and another eleven have been shifted from “stable” to negative. If you still have all your money in the banking system, you’re quickly running out of time to change strategies and preserve some of your wealth. Click for Full Text!
The Ukraine Mess Is Animal Farm in Reverse: Starring Blackrock and Other Pigs

Recently, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said that the European Union should double its assistance to Ukraine. She went on to say the EU should create a support fund of 50 billion euros by the end of the year and that everything should be done to ensure victory on the battlefield for the Ukrainians. The European Union has created a “support package” for Ukraine for 2023 of up to €18 billion. This money, however, is not in the form of gifts, grants, or to create an emergency war chest. These billions are a loan under an EU macro-financial assistance program dubbed the MFA+ Instrument. In the fine print, EU member states are guaranteeing these loans ...

Last week, hundreds of thousands of young Catholics from around the world converged on the Portuguese capital Lisbon for World Youth Day, an international religious gathering that first took place in Rome in 1986. In a sermon delivered in the city on August 3, Pope Francis reminded those present that “in the Church there is room for everyone”. More than 42,000 of the 354,000 pilgrims were from France (the fourth- largest national contingent after Spaniards, Italians and Portuguese). And a poll of young French Catholics planning to travel to Lisbon published in May, in the religious newspaper La Croix, suggests that they might not have been especially receptive to Francis’s ...
Labour Shortages – Food Shortages – Critical Thinking Shortages

As the middle class wanes and poor immigrants continue to invade, the impact on America’s businesses is completely restructured. Tyson Foods shuttered four plants in the US claiming a significant loss in ‘demand’ and a need to lower costs. Simultaneously, Tyson opened 3 plants in – China. The decoupled China. Various economists have speculated that Tyson shutting down is because the cost of chicken is too high – reducing demand. Shutting down plants means less supply – means higher prices. Even economists seem oddly inept. A secondary factor for the shutdowns is ‘labour shortages’. Yet, given labour is the most significant expense for a commodity, a ...

The economic meltdown that is coming should not be a surprise to anyone. Throughout U.S. history, there have always been signs that a major downturn was coming, and that is precisely what we are witnessing right now. Tax revenues are way down, demand for trucking services is way down, demand for cardboard boxes is way down, the money supply is shrinking at the fastest pace in modern history, and the Conference Board’s index of leading economic indicators has already declined for 15 months in a row. At this point, anyone that cannot see what is coming has got to be willingly blind. The following are 7 trends which indicate that economic disaster is approaching very rapidly… #1 ...
Everyone Chose the Military Option

There was a whole menu of peaceful ways the war in Ukraine could have been prevented. NATO could have kept its promise and not expanded east to Russia’s borders and across its long advertized “brightest of all red lines,” as now CIA Director and then Ambassador to Russia William Buns called Ukraine in 2008. Ukraine could have implemented the Minsk Agreement in 2015, and Germany, France and the US could have provided the necessary pressure and support. The US could have come to the table instead of clearing the table when Russia demanded negotiations over security concerns on December 17, 2021. Instead, all three sides, Russia, Ukraine and the US, chose the military option. ...

I'm Not Really Enjoying the Show

The Show Must Go On, but I'm not really enjoying the show. One reason why is I Keep Changing Channels But It's Still the Same Program, i.e. the programming and marketing are now homogenized. Another is Even the Aliens Are Boring, i.e. everything is so sensationalized and hyped that we are now desensitized to it all. A third reason is our culture has perfected the craft of self-parody, rendering parody impossible. To parody foolish excess, we exaggerate a two-patty burger into a four-patty burger: oops, they've already hyped four-patty burgers. Click for Full Text!

The response from Niger was to ask Wagner Group to help repel any western attempts to intervene. The fact that the western coup makers had inserted the previous president, Bazoum, a member of the Arab minority tribe, and culled with Blinken appointed as Handler, is Undemocratic. That was The Coup. The US inserted proxies are falling like humpty-dumpties. Click for Full Text!

The United States must "crush" the cartels in Mexico to save American lives, Sen. Tim Scott, a candidate for the GOP presidential nomination, said on Newsmax Saturday. "We have to freeze their assets, sanction their accounts, and use the full force of the American government to stop them from killing another 70,00 Americans," the South Carolina Republican said in an interview on Newsmax's "America Right Now."

Biden's New 'Prevailing Wage' Rule Will Cost Taxpayers, Benefit Unions, and Hike Inflation

In the same week as government data revealed that inflation is stubbornly ticking higher again, the Biden administration put its final stamp of approval on a new rule that will hike the cost of infrastructure projects. The Department of Labor announced Wednesday that it will change how it calculates so-called prevailing wages paid to government contractors working on construction and infrastructure projects. In its announcement of the new rule, the Labor Department claims the changes are meant to "modernize Davis-Bacon," the 1931 law that governs compensation for federal building projects.

Are You Smarter Than a "Social Media Influencer?"

Back in the antiquated days of 2007, a television show burst upon the scene with the provocative title, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? By and large, the adults who competed proved that they weren’t. Which really says something, considering that today’s 5th graders aren’t exactly well educated. The popular program was hosted by comedian Jeff Foxworthy, who achieved notoriety through his “You might be a redneck if…” jokes. Foxworthy, like many a comedian smarter or not smarter than a 5th grader, recognized that there was gold in gently ridiculing the intelligence, habits, and appearance of “rednecks.” After all, to be a redneck, you have to be ...

Last week a Palm Beach friend, a country club Republican, gave me a copy of the Weekly Standard. She urged me to read “A World in Crisis, what the thirties tell us about today” by its opinion editor, Matthew Continetti. The predicate of this overly long article seems to be that the fate of the universe hinged upon a little-known traffic accident involving Winston Churchill on the upper east side of Manhattan in the early 1930’s. Unlike a Thomas Hardy novel, in this instance a chance mishap worked out for the best. Or so Continetti would have the reader assume. Churchill was crossing Fifth Avenue at 76th Street in the late evening of December 13th, 1931 on his way to Bernard ...

The Illinois Supreme Court on Friday overruled a lower court's ruling and upheld the state's law banning assault weapons in a 4-3 decision. Illinois lawmakers passed the ban in January, months after the mass shooting at a July 4 parade in Highland Park, just outside of Chicago. The shooter legally purchased a semiautomatic weapon and shot parade goers from a rooftop, killing seven and injuring 36. Click for Full Text!

Florida is slated to vote on adopting a classical education model, which would make the state the first of its kind. Altony Lee III, a spokesman for the Florida Board of Education, told Axios that the board would vote to adopt the conservative-backed education model on Aug. 30. The proposal would allow students to take the Classical Learning Test (CLT) instead of the SAT or ACT. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill in May that allowed the test to be used to determine eligibility for a state scholarship program. Currently, around 200 schools accept its scores, most of them religious.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is expected to seek more than a dozen indictments when she presents her case regarding efforts by Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia before a grand jury next week, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. Willis, a Democrat, has been eyeing conspiracy and racketeering charges, which would allow her to bring a case against multiple defendants. Her wide-ranging criminal probe focuses on efforts to pressure election officials, the plot to put forward fake electors and a voting systems breach in rural Coffee County, Georgia.

Gun Violence in Red and Blue

With the 2024 field of presidential candidates beginning to take shape, Americans can expect political debates to hit a new level of intensity— especially over crime. The issue emerged as a weak spot for Democrats in the 2022 midterms, raising the question of how the party planned to handle it moving forward. Yet despite some scattered pushback, Democrats have not compellingly repudiated the police and criminal-justice reforms that likely contributed to the Republican edge on the crime question. Expect Democrats to pivot to a bread-and-butter theme: gun control, which allows them to shift the blame for crime to conservative gun control opponents. This approach may have political ...
