Commentary Markets reacted badly last week to Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell’s statements outlining the Fed’s initial forecast for the coming year. With inflation clearly no longer being “transitory,” with the Consumer Price Index accelerating to 7 percent in December, Powell has turned increasingly hawkish. Apart from seeming to confirm a series of rate hikes for 2022,…
Sanctions on Russia Likely to Backfire Against US and to the Benefit of China

ESG Investing—The Great Wall Street Money Heist
Commentary Wall Street is once again in the midst of a “money heist” from naive investors. This time in the form of “woke activism” called ESG.

Environment Program warned that “entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.” For good measure a study from the program…
Biden’s Folly: Where Political Ego and Policy Collide
Commentary The world is at war. Fortunately not the kind with bombs and bullets that level cities and kill millions. But one almost as bad. And no one in charge seems to care. It’s a war against an enemy that can’t be won. One in which the combatants have staked everything on victory. Like all…
