I found Marjorie Taylor Greene’s interview with Tucker Carlson quite enlightening. I never really formed an opinion of her one way or the other. The image that floated around was she was some sort of radical. After listening to the interview, I can confirm what she said about how Washington Works was correct. You are […]

  ASIA:   A significant Chinese bank, Chouzhou Commercial Bank, has stopped conducting operations with Russian and Belarusian companies. Other Chinese and Hong Kong banks are reportedly imposing stricter regulations on transactions with Russia to align with Western sanctions. The Kremlin has acknowledged the strained relations between Russian companies and Chinese banks, and Russian government […]

COMMENT: Marty, I just wanted to thank you for your 2020 forecast on the future Superbowls. The double-directional change in 2022 was on target, and we saw the AFL team win two years in a row. Everything is cyclical, right down to football. Socrates even got the viewership correct, forecasting a six-year decline from 2015. […]

ASIA: India’s industrial output, grew at a faster-than-expected rate of 3.8% year-on-year in December, exceeding economists’ predictions of 2.4%. This growth was primarily driven by a boost in manufacturing activity, with manufacturing output increasing by 3.9% compared to the previous year. However, electricity generation and mining activities showed slower growth rates in December compared to […]

I do not advise governments to use sanctions for leverage due to the economic implications that may take time to materialize.

Israel has seen numerous conflicts over the years such as the Second Intifada or war with Hezbollah, and even then […]

I have listened to the oral arguments and have considered this entire 14th Amendment nonsense. Some have tried to argue that it is self-executing, meaning that Congress does not need to write a statute. That is really absurd, for we are talking here about trying to overthrow the entire foundation of democracy when pretending to […]

  I paid very close attention to Tucker’s interview with Putin. I found Putin honest but curiously restrained. He could have easily gone off on the interference in the Russian 2000 election, his request to interrogate Bill Browder and the fake dossier manufactured for Hillary Clinton and her co-conspirator, the grandfather of the Neocons, John […]

The number of immigrants has surpassed 3 million immigrants entering the United States. That is more people than 5 State populations combined.  Immigrants crossing the border has been a rising issue in the United States, more so since the lift on section 42 in June of 2023, which brought us back to Title 8- allowing […]
