Commentary The U.S. economy is already deteriorating due to the humongous fiscal and monetary cliffs. These cliffs are now being compounded by the war in Eastern Europe and near record-high inflation. And, the Fed’s “PUT” is much lower and smaller in size than Wall Street believes. The war in Ukraine will exacerbate the negative supply…
The New Canadian Despotism
Commentary With its recent crackdown on protesting truck drivers, Canada’s government has shown that it is an enemy of liberty, and there is little hope under the current government that we shall ever see a return of any of the libertarian principles that once characterized Canadian life. Besides using guns and brute force, the Trudeau regime also has…
5 Unique Time Management Hacks That Have Been Proven to Work
Modern reliance on technology by most companies today means that the same devices that we use for work are also where we get our distractions. Some say it’s not your fault if you often fall victim to technology—many of us have. But come on, you are in charge of yourself, even if the nature of…
Ukraine-Russia War Puts Fed in Quandary on Rate Hike Despite February Jobs Beats
Commentary The February jobs report printed at 678,000 new jobs, well above the consensus estimate of 400,000. That’s up from January’s 481,000 jobs.

Biden, the Ultimate Monopolist, Pretends He Wants Competition
There was a great deal of disinformation to comb through—not to mention repeated gaffes and garbled speech—in the 7,900 or so words of President Biden’s hour-long State of the Union address to Congress on Tuesday evening. Whether it was the far-fetched notion that his administration over a course of months had “prepared extensively and carefully”…
Congressional Clown Show Bankrupts America
Commentary Seemingly lost in the day-to-day nonsense of our political theater is the fact that the United States Congress is responsible for passing an annual budget. You know, one of those things that determines how you spend your money and keeps you from going broke. Well, once again our elected leaders on Capitol Hill have…
The Unforgivable Student Loan Forgiveness Fraud
Commentary It’s an election year, and that means two things. More volatility in the stock market … and more giveaway promises from politicians. A recent headline in The Wall Street Journal mentioned President Joe Biden’s promise to forgive student debt had stalled.

US Economic Recovery Slows
Commentary With economic sanctions against Russia going into place and little precise knowledge of their effect—on Russia or the United States—America’s post-lockdown recovery otherwise seems to be losing momentum.
