Last week President Trump announced an impending pullout of American forces from Syria.  Now recall, the only supposed reason for US boots in Syria has been to fight ISIS.  But ISIS is now destroyed. Even so, members of both parties in Congress, and the MSM are in a dither because of the pullout.  Obviously, the purpose those ditherers had for US boots in Syria was not simply to fight ISIS.   So to understand what this is really all about, let’s take a thumbnail retrospect of the last 20 years of US involvement in Iraq and Syria. Toyota battlewagons do not occur naturally in the desert In 1999, the European Central Bank introduced the Eurodollar to compete with the US (Federal Reserve) dollar as the world’s reserve currency.  Shortly thereafter, in 2000 Saddam Hussein declared Iraq would no longer take US dollars for oil, opting instead for Euros.  Predictably, soon allegations of weapons of mass destruction against Saddam appeared througho...

I have been a student of American politics for over a half century.  And it shames me to say that until the financial crisis of 2009, I was clueless regarding what was really happening politically right in front of my eyes, like, frankly, most remain today.  Sure, I stayed informed, had my favorite news shows like anybody else.  So until that crisis occurred, I took all the DC actors seriously.  I just thought many of them were stupid.  They were stupid because they said stupid things, held stupid policy positions, then changed to different stupid policy positions and tried to explain how they had “always been consistent.”  The financial crisis finally taught me a lesson.  I did my homework, opened my mind.  As I expanded my perspective, my paradigm shifted.  I began to see much more clearly. I discovered DC politicians are not stupid.  They think we’re stupid.  And frankly, in many cases they have been right. How many of you live...

If you follow this column, you may remember an article I wrote last January entitled, “Trump Declares National Emergency, MSM Ignores.” In that article I informed you that one month earlier, on December 21, 2017, President Trump signed an executive order declaring a national state of emergency.  That executive order is one based on a finding that, “serious human rights abuse and corruption around the world” constitute an “unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.”  And for that reason, President Trump invoked certain powers granted by Congress to deal with emergencies, powers that give him an array of tools to manage the circumstances the order describes. While Trump’s order, which remains in effect, does not specifically state what those threats may be, it does say that they are significant and endanger not only the “foundation of stable, secure, and functioning societies,” but importantly, “the financial syst...

Did you see it?  Did you see President Trump’s retweet last week?  I don’t know how many among this readership keep up with those kinds of things, so I will tell you that last week President Trump retweeted a meme depicting the likes of numerous notables behind bars.  Among those notables are individuals by the names Obama, Hillary, Podesta, Comey, Lynch, Holder, Clapper, even Mueller and Rosenstein.  And the caption on the meme reads, “Now that Russia collusion is a proven lie, when do the trials for treason begin?”  So let’s look at what Trump is saying here.  He is telling us that there will come a time in the short future when the Russian collusion theory being used by those individuals and their political cousins to protect themselves, will be proven beyond doubt to be a lie.  And then he is telling us that once that occurs, those responsible will be charged with treason.  Well, isn’t that exactly what I told you back in September in my artic...
