Germany is a great example of a lot of things we see in the problems of many economies in the world today, to include our own. A centrally controlled economy with your “best intentions” in mind does show good results for a little while. Right up to the point where the central banks transition to a outward focus on world growth versus a domestic growth.

The US involvement in Syria clearly is not America’s best moment. We got involved at the behest of our “allies” Saudi Arabia and Israel. Like so many “wars” we fight in, we let the CIA and the US military organize things. We send lots of military hardware to those we support, to include ISIS. CIA groups fought against our military groups. And it all failed.

The Alabama senate election is turning into a microcosm of everything that is wrong in national politics. The deepstate is spending many millions of dollars to protect their agenda. The leader in the polls has collected less than half a million. But if Judge Moore's victory will cause mass retirements of the swamp, I’m all for it. Think about what they are actually saying here. They have to protect the swamp so they want have to face angry voters.(4 comments)

Hillary Clinton likes to talk a tough game about Russian President Vladimir Putin. And she likes to put him on the list of those at fault for her loss in the election last November to Donald Trump.

As residents of SC, we know all too well that we have two of the worst “Republican” senators in the country. The other day, I got an email from Lindsey Graham titled: “The Most Significant Threat To Repeal Obamacare”. Silly me, I thought that was his buddy John McCain. My response to his email saying the same thing has not been responded to.(2 comments)
