Coronavirus Vaccine Terrifies Trump Haters
Or, why not to read the NYT: Weren’t we told back in March that several weeks of lockdown were necessary to “flatten the curve”? Well here it is August, and Americans still don’t know whether schools and churches will reopen. The only hope for a return to normalcy is a vaccine for COVID, which, despite […]
Dump All Low Yielding US Treasuries Now
Today we have a situation where the Fed has forced individual investors with life-time savings to subsidize corporate buybacks, acquisitions, and Wall Street banking industry borrowing and speculating.

The Democratic National Convention is less than two weeks away, but more than 100 local police departments have withdrawn offers to send police officers to help.

Sturgis Rally Set to Host 250,000
Debbie and I have put over 100,000 miles on our Harleys riding across the United States and Canada. My riding days are behind me, but as a devotee, I keep an eye on the world of motorcycles, and Harley in particular. The epicenter of that world is the annual rally in Sturgis, South Dakota. Twice […]
Red Bull Refuses to Cave in to the Pressure of the Marxist BLM
Red Bull fired two executives working for its American division this week. The CEO and CMO of the company’s North American division were fired, likely for the pressure they were putting on the company to take a more active stance on BLM. Breitbart’s John Nolte reports: Red Bull’s Austrian parent company fired a bunch of […]
