Why Is Everyone Making Such A Big Deal About One Shooting When 14 Million Crimes Are Committed In The U.S. Each Year?

Are we supposed to be shocked that someone was just gunned down on the streets of New York City?  The truth is that this happens all the time.  Violence is out of control in the Big Apple, and of course the exact same thing could be said about most of our other major cities.  According to the FBI, more than 14 million crimes were committed in the United States last year.  The only reason why everybody is suddenly making a big deal about this is because someone “important” got shot.  Our society is dominated by large corporations, and so when the CEO of one of the largest corporations in the healthcare industry gets gunned down it is going to make news(Read More...)

We Have Never Seen An Economic War Quite Like This

Donald Trump is not messing around.  After trying to play nice during his first administration, Trump is making it very clear that he fully intends to use the full power of the presidency to shape economic policy during his second administration.  In particular, Trump is planning to impose massive tariffs on other nations that attempt to stand in the way of the MAGA agenda.  Last week, Trump threatened to impose 25 percent tariffs on all products coming into the United States from Mexico and Canada if those two countries do not work with him to secure our borders… (Read More...)
