| Eat Gold |
| Submitted by BullionStar.com
A popular phrase in segments of the mainstream financial media is that “You Can’t Eat Gold”. We don’t know who first uttered this comment, but it was more than likely a talking-head or Wall Street analyst on CNBC or Bloomberg.
The disparaging claim seems to be based on concluding that in a financial or monetary crisis, if you own gold, that “You Can’t Eat It”. And so, according to the logic of whoever came up with the phrase, this would make gold useless during a finMonday, August 13, 2018 |

| Tariff Talk Has Become Topic 'A' |
| Bloomberg news has the effrontery to ask: Did Trump Just Start a Global Trade War? Although even MSNBC pit bull Rachel Maddow treats the President with more deference than Bloomberg.com, it’s still a fair question to ask. Judging from the way the stock market has flounced around recently, Wall Street’s answer to the question is an emphatic “maybe.” For once, the Street seems to have gotten it half-right. The bill Trump signed on Thursday will place tariffs of 25% and 10%, respectively, on Saturday, March 10, 2018 |

| Budget Issues Return To Spotlight As Next Debt Ceiling Circus Looms |
| Judging by the fact that you’re reading this, at some point you have probably been concerned about the financial condition of United States government.
The publicly stated debt is now over $20 trillion, while Boston University economist Laurence Kotlikoff pegs the cost of unfunded liabilities at over $222 trillion! Not exactly ideal in an $18 trillion economy. And if there’s an accountant out there who can explain how it’s even feasibly possible that the debt could ever be repaid without defaultWednesday, February 14, 2018 |

Fever Pitch  |
| In case you’re worked up about the looming federal government shut-down, this is exactly how we’re supposed to roll in the long emergency: everything organized at the gigantic scale is going to wobble and fail. It’s nature’s way of saying, “get smaller, get realer, scale down, and get local.” The catch is, we probably won’t listen to nature. Instead, we’ll just behave like bystanders and do nothing until the full force of failure is upon us, just as we’re doing with climate change — the tragedy Friday, January 19, 2018 |

| The Future of Libertarianism |
| Marxists were notorious for infighting over the most trivial differences. One group would secede from another, reverse the word order of the group it had seceded from, and declare itself the new and pure group. The first group, the new group would declare to the world, was part of the fascist conspiracy to suppress the coming workers’ triumph, even though the differences between the two groups were completely undetectable even to an expert.

 Another One Bites the Dust  |
| If only abortion were retroactive, we could suitably deal with monsters like Senator Al Franken (D – MN), who apparently ventured to apply a breast adjustment to a female colleague asleep on the military airplane winging them home from USO duty in Afghanistan. This was back in the day when Senator Franken was a professional entertainer, a clown to be precise, but his career shift to politics has rendered all his prior clowning anathema.

I know, the Nasdaq is down 100 and tech stocks are engulfed in flames. But how do you expect me to sit here and ignore this story? As a person who lives to 'stir the pot', this is the best timeline for me. All I have to do it sit back and watch the President of the United States talk smack all day, providing me with endless ways to trigger those opposed to him.
Just to recap today's impeachable offense.

| The Final Nail in the Mainstream TV News Coffin: Fox News Ratings Plummet to 17 Year Low |
| The mainstream media has been fighting a losing battle against independent news outlets (AKA fake news) ever since the internet took hold in our society. Countless newspapers have filed for bankruptcy, and news channels have faced dwindling ratings.
The only news channel, at least in the US, that still commands solid ratings is Fox News. Unfortunately for Fox, the average age of their viewers is 68, which isn’t exactly a profitable age group for advertisers. And more importantly, that statistic Thursday, May 25, 2017 |

 Did Trump Start Taking Orders From Hillary |
| Excuse me for asking, but didn’t Trump win the election? If so, is he now taking orders from Hillary?
Ahead of the insane bombing of Syria with no proof of anything and no authorization from Congress, Hillary Clinton said the US Should Take Out Syrian Airfields.
Here are some tweets I gathered.
Guest after guest is gushing. From MSNBC to CNN, Trump is receiving his best night of press so far. And all he had to do was start a war.

| Government dysfunction is at its worst. We voted them in. We have no one to blame but ourselves. Granted, the choices were abysmal. But the Republican and Democratic parties, with no third party competition, can continue to run dysfunctional governments, whittling away our dominant global position until the cracks of our broken government becomes abundantly clear.

Freedom’s Leftist Enemies  |
| One of the tragic ironies of history is that the very moment freedom was given birth in America in 1787 with enactment of our Constitution in the wake of the Declaration of Independence, the concept of freedom itself came under direct assault from the philosophical thinkers of Europe, which laid the groundwork for the massive statisms of the modern day. This is because ideology moves history. Mankind’s societies are shaped by the prevailing ideas that have gained prominence among the great mindsSunday, January 15, 2017 |

| History Shows How Rare and Valuable Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press Are |
| The Founding Fathers protected freedom of speech and freedom of the press as the most important liberties.
They are protected in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. And as discussed below, the Founders recognized that the ability to speak freely was the foundation for all other freedoms.
Thousands of years of history shows how rare and valuable such freedoms really are …
