Commentary The Bank of Canada (BoC) has raised the key overnight rate to 5 percent and the Bank Rate to 5.25 percent. The increases of one-quarter of a percent were widely anticipated by market observers. Coincidentally, the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for June was released and the core rate, at 3 percent, was lower…
How to Create a Fake News Cycle
Commentary Despite the best efforts of the mainstream media to pillory him as an anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is having a moment. A recent poll from CNN of all places showed him earning 20 percent of Democratic primary voters—and that was before his Joe Rogan interview and shirtless push-up video went viral. Kennedy’s support…
Sanders’ Medicare-for-All Would Destroy America’s Health Care
Commentary Trust in public health has been shattered in the wake of COVID. Confidence in government health authorities has plummeted—64 percent rate the FDA as “only fair or poor” and 58 percent rate the CDC the same. Ironically, and in defiance of Americans demanding more health autonomy, Sen. Bernie Sanders has put forth a radical Medicare-for-All 2023 bill to…
Vilnius Summit Shattered Putin’s Anti-NATO Strategy—but Left Ukrainian NATO Membership on Hold
Commentary Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine directly targets the Kiev government, but dismantling NATO has been another energizing mania. NATO’s Vilnius, Lithuania, summit confirms Putin has lost his NATO war. Putin despises the alliance. NATO defeated his beloved Soviet Union (a Russian Empire hawking utopian Marxist pap).

US Desperately Needs a Long Deflation
Commentary Consumer Price Index (CPI) day has been the same for most of the last 12 months. Data comes in and it’s not good.

War Against Profits Is a War Against Prosperity
Commentary White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre recently reiterated a point the Biden White House has been making for the past year: that inflation remains high not because of the Biden $6 trillion spending spree but because “high profit margins” captured during the COVID-19 pandemic drive up consumer prices. We then were told that the…
