Feminists Have Discovered "Nose Ring Theory" And They're Not Happy In the swiftly degenerating world of western relationships one factor above all others can be identified as the culprit:  Feminism.  The driving force behind third-wave feminism is not the pursuit of equal rights (which women already have), it's the pursuit of power.  Like any communist movement, unilateral power over society is the end goal.  When power is the goal, such movements naturally attract narcissistic people and inspire narcissistic behaviors.  How can the nuclear family function when the female […]

We Are The Cure For TDS Authored by Anthony Constantino via RealClearPolitics.com, America has a sickness, and it’s not just a horrendously unhealthy food supply. It’s deeper, darker, and more sinister. It goes by three letters: TDS – Trump Derangement Syndrome. What is TDS? It is a condition that turns ordinary people into hateful monsters whenever President Trump is mentioned. It drives politicians, journalists, professors, and late-night comedians to hate rather than admit that President Trump is good for America. It divides families, ruins friendships, and […]

US Bailout Of Argentina Begins: Bessent Purchases Pesos, Finalizes $20BN Currency Swap With the Argentine Peso imploding in recent weeks - but not as fast as it would have had the Milei government not backstopped it with relentless central bank interventions which quickly drained the country's dollar reserves - and the country's bond market in freefall, the Latin American country was facing a full-blown market collapse if it didn't get quick and generous access to a source of USD funding.

The Real Deal By Michael Every of Rabobank The Real Deal Right now, the focus shouldn’t be on the little data we have. German industrial production figures were shockingly bad and take output to the lowest level since 2005, but that was an obvious trend years ago to those who wanted to see it.

The FOMC minutes said they are minded to cut rates further this year, after being adamant that wasn’t necessary a few weeks ago (i.e., why listen to them?), but are still worried about inflation risks – in sharp contrast to the RBNZ, for example.

America's Growing Pushback Against Data Centers Authored by Kay Rubacek via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), We are told daily that America is hopelessly divided.

But last month in Franklin Township, Indiana, something happened that doesn’t fit that story and it may hold a lesson far bigger than one rezoning fight. A data center near single-family homes in Stone Ridge, Va., on July 17, 2024. Nathan Howard/Getty Images Google had planned to rezone nearly 500 acres for a massive […]
