But also bankrupt the Fed and global central baking system that speculates and preys on our producers and households. End the sanctions and green policies that they cynically use to serially abuse the American people, with ever-higher predatory costs! read more

True North is reporitng that "Conservative leadership hopeful and former Quebec Liberal premier Jean Charest attacked rival candidate MP Pierre Poilievre on Friday, saying Poilievre can’t be prime minister if he supported the Freedom Convoy. Charest accused Poilievre of backing “people breaking the laws” and alleged that his support for freedom demonstrators disqualifies him from being prime minister." Another one bites the dust. That is somewhat disappointing. I had high hopes for Jean Charest. Not any more. The truckers convoy were patriots. If Charest opposes them, then he's no... read more

Voters In France Go to The Polls On Sunday
*BBC:* *French election: Far-right Le Pen closes in on Macron ahead of vote* The least a president might expect, when juggling a war in Europe with an election at home, is a bounce in the polls. But Emmanuel Macron has discovered that all the energy he spent dealing with Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine has been of little help in France's unpredictable vote. "Nothing is impossible," President Macron has warned, as polls suggest his far-right rival is closer than ever before to winning the presidency. A month ago, Marine Le Pen was trailing President Macron by 10 points and fi... read more

We watched the Senate vote which confirmed the soon-to-be Justice Jackson. We thought we'd watch a bit of Opening Day, but Opening Day became Opening Night. We also caught up on some sleep.

Iran-backed Houthi is the winner in Yemen
These are early days and Yemen has witnessed many a ceasefire in its tortuous civil war that began in September 2014 when Houthi forces took over the capital city Sanaa, which was followed by a rapid Houthi takeover of the government. There is a feeling of déjà vu about the 2-month long Ramadan ceasefire that has been announced. read more

The actual debt using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which includes all off-book obligations (promises of future payments such as Social Security, government retirement accounts, Medicare A & B, et.al.) was $238 Trillion. Today the on-book debt is $30.3 Trillion, not quite double what it was when I last wrote about this. We... read more

"Bloody energy"
I've said on several occasions that we simply don't know the truth about what's going on in the Ukraine war. Both sides are corrupt; both sides are creating increasingly effective propaganda about their and their opponent's actions; and neither side can be trusted. Nevertheless, for students of propaganda, there's a great deal to be learned from the Ukraine war. I'm sure it'll be studied as a public relations exercise for many years to come. One of the most effective pieces of propaganda I've seen so far comes from the Ukrainian side, targeting ongoing European purchases o... read more

Fog of War, Brain Fog of Warmongers
I guess we could look on the bright side of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Covid diagnosis this week. She will be forced to postpone her provocative trip to Taiwan, which is the next apparent site of the US hegemon's "bait and bleed" operation to stop their global competitors (Russia and China, for now) right in their economic tracks by goading them into wars against their weaker neighbors. Even the risk of nuclear war is not preventing the American gerontocracy from trying to maintain their increasingly tenuous status as Sole Remaining Superpower. Of course, the really bad news ab... read more

Russia invaded Ukraine, and the outcome was sanctions that shut off Russia from doing business in dollars. The Obama/Biden Administration was out to kill Russia financially, and it appears they have killed the dollar instead. Russia is demanding rubles for its energy, and that means less dollars needed. Other countries are shedding the dollar to do business with Russia, namely China and India. Tho... read more
