China’s troubled property market continues to get a lot of the headlines but China’s stock market is also in terrible shape right now. The total losses since 2021 are roughly $7 trillion dollars. While U.S. stocks have been soaring, Chinese shares have been on a seemingly interminable downward slide. China’s benchmark CSI 300 index is […]
Politicians SAY a lot of things; some they mean, some they don’t. So you should always look at what they do and how they spend the money they take from citizens. And, as importantly, whose pockets that money ends up in. The latter is even more important than the former. There’s a great article in […]

America deserves to know! — Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) February 9, 2024 That tweet has over a million views as of this morning. Governor Abbott […]
Last summer the organizers behind the efforts to block the construction of a police training center outside Atlanta seemed to have reached the end of their rope. The so-called “forest defenders” had been cleared out of the forest and their efforts to oppose the construction legally had hit a wall after a day long protest […]
I haven’t watched the entire Tucker Carlson interview with Vlad the Impaler Putin. John did that so we don’t have to. I have watched clips, of course, and glad they exist.
