NATO & Invoking Article 5

COMMENT: Martin, I must admit, I have never read NATO article 5 until this morning while reading your post from yesterday.

The Second US State to Tax Fossil Fuel Companies

New York state has enacted a bill to extort fossil fuel companies in the name of climate change.

I jokingly say that the climate change agenda believes they can simply throw money at the sky to change the weather, and I suppose there is a little truth in every “just kidding” as this method is precisely that. Volcanoes […]

Who Creates Money?

To a large extent, there is still much confusion regarding the creation of MONEY. Some people still think the government actually creates money as if it were in ancient times. When I say MONEY is no longer TANGIBLE, but it is VIRTUAL, many seem to fail to grasp just how much the world has changed. […]

Democrats Arguing Kamala Should not Certify the Count

America, we have a problem. The chatter being whispered in DC is that now some Democrats are saying that Pence was wrong and he should not have certified the 2020 election. This reversal is self-serving because some now argue that Kamala should NOT certify the count because Trump is disqualified under the 14th Amendment. Then, […]
