The following is a brief essay by Sundance over at CTH. It is a short history of how American foreign policy has arrived where it is.
President Trump and Alina Habba, Trump’s lawyer, speak to the media following another day of nonsense testimony in the New York civil case against Donald Trump.
Karl Denninger was the founder and CEO of MCSNet. He later sold the company to Winstar Communications. Denninger is a founding contributor to the finance blog market-ticker.org, and has used the internet to bring attention to his concerns with the financial system. Denninger was also one of the early members of the Tea Party movement, sometimes referred to as a founder.
Denninger is gifted at processing mountains of statistical data and being able to present his findings in an understandable manner. He does not pretend. Denninger does not ignore data he does not like.
Denninger did an outstanding job with COVID data. While I do not always subscribe to his ideas for fixing things, his analyses are thought provoking.
Karl Denninger believes we are headed to very bad economic times and he pulls no punches in telling everyone why.
Dr. Fauci is a central figure in the COVID pandemic that was unleashed upon the world. Fauci has been accused of suppressing information about treatments (hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, etc.) that were effective at mitigating and stopping the virus. Fauci was a big supporter of the lockdowns that had absolutely no effect on the transmission of the virus. Fauci has also been interviewed by Congress over his role in “gain of function” research into viral agents. Now his “influence” over a CIA investigation into the origins of COVID has been subject to some sunlight by the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic (SSCP).
“Comrade citizens. In the spirit of protecting you from hateful misinformation, the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) is stepping up. No longer will comrades be subject to the depredations of individuals who might undermine the great work that your government is doing. All “meaningful content” appearing on Internet platforms will be monitored to ensure that streaming services are making valid contributions to Canadian and indigenous lives. Comrade citizens lives will be better for the heroic efforts of the CRTC.”
The last federal budget that went through the appropriations process, passed both chambers and signed by a president, was the fiscal year 2008 budget signed in September 2007 by George W Bush. Every single budget from that moment to today has been a series of continuing resolutions, omnibus spending packages (mini and regular) and baseline budgeted CR extensions. This is the insanity that has resulted in the debt mess we see today.
More signs that Biden is being encouraged to consider not being President much longer. NYC, a Democratic stronghold, has demanded that New York Gov. Hochul, a Democrat, sue President Joe Biden’s administration over the migrant and border crisis. Public actions like this against a President who is a member of your own party are rarely seen when a Democrat is in the Oval Office.
It seems like only yesterday that we were talking about the government taking over other sections of the economy now that the New Mexico governor went full Hitler last Friday. One area that was mentioned was food. Now the mayor of Chicago wants to open city-owned grocery stores. What could possibly go wrong?
Another media story invented out of whole cloth. A couple of years back, we were treated to lurid stories about indigenous children being murdered and buried in mass graves at residential schools in Canada. The claim was based on results from ground-penetrating radar at these sites. How much of these stories turned out to have any basis in fact. None!
Look at their bank accounts. It is all you need to do to understand why our country is where it is today.
