Socialism is failing in France. Margaret Thatcher said it best, socialism only works until you run out of other people’s money. French politicians had made promises over the years that could not be fulfilled. Eventually the idea that everyone could be supported on the government dole was going to blow up. Macron was installed as France’s leader so that the economy could be collapsed and taken over by the globalists.

Silicon Valley Bank was closed by bank regulators on Friday. In an unusual move the closure took place during the business day and not after the markets had closed. Its failure was the second largest in US history and the largest since the financial crisis of 2008. On Sunday Signature Bank was closed as well.

Dr. Tom Woods has reported on the appearance of Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger in front of the House Select Committee. I have reproduced his report on Taibbi’s opening statement below.

In a House Judiciary Committee meeting today, journalists Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger testified about the kinds of issues they uncovered in the so-called Twitter Files, which revealed an outrageous collusion between government and Big Tech in the suppression of dissident voices.

Matt Taibbi is firmly on the left, and Shellenberger voted for Biden. These are not partisans. But, of course, the general run of journalists has either stayed silent about the ridiculous attacks on them or actually joined in. Why, Taibbi and Shellenberger aren’t working for the team!

If one ever doubted that the UniParty exists, the events of the last week should bury that doubt forever. On March 1^st, Chuck Schumer (D-NY) Senate majority leader, and Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), the House minority leader, called for Tucker Carlson, et al, to be made to bow down and back away from the Big Lie that Joe Biden won the 2020 election. This was a direct attack on the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights.

On March 7^th, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) joined with them blasting Tucker Carlson and Fox News for “misrepresenting” the events of January 6^th.

The length of time that campaigning for the presidency in this country goes on is ridiculous. However, as some say, it is what it is. The campaign season for both the DNC and the RNC is well underway. For the RNC their issue is how to stop the juggernaut that is the MAGA movement.

NTSB Report…East Palestine

An initial early report is out by the NTSB about the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. Was it caused by deregulation as many bobbleheads in the media have suggested? Was it caused by a failure to implement common sense safety regulations? Was it simply an unavoidable accident caused by a perfect storm of railcar failures that could not have been anticipated?

The answer to all of these questions is a resounding “No.” The data was there for the train to be stopped and inspected BEFORE the catastrophic failure occurred.

As we recently saw last week, the UK is rationing tomatoes among other fresh vegetables. Perishables like tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers, cauliflower, peppers and broccoli have been restricted to just two or three per customer in many stores.

In his weekly monologue Neil Oliver takes this issue and overlays the surplus of lies that has created it. Neil Oliver generally has exceptional insight and points out what should be obvious.

The tone-deaf, and hateful Joy Behar blames the people in East Palestine for the disaster that has befallen them because they voted for Trump. The 2020 election saw 70% of the voters in that county voting for PDJT.

Joy Behar says the residents of East Palestine got what they deserved because they voted for Trump:

There is no understanding here other than it must be Trump’s fault. That is what this show is all about. None of these people have even deigned to look at the NTSB report.
