Last March, I got an extra $1,400 check from the IRS—money I shouldn’t have received. I had already received an economic impact payment earlier in the month from my parents because they claimed me as a dependent on their 2019 return and filed their 2020 taxes a few months after I did. It seems the IRS failed to...
Scams, frauds, flim flams, and grifts are nothing new to America. In fact, confidence games were old hat when Clifton Wooldridge published his 1906 classic, The Grafters of America: Who They Are and How They Work, which describes common cons in fin de siecle Chicago. The recent death of notorious investment scamster Bernie Madoff should remind Americans that if it sounds too good...
The Bureau of Labor Statistics published “The Employment Situation – March 2021” earlier this month. Here is a quote from that report… The number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks or more), at 4.2 million, changed little over the month but is up by 3.1 million since February 2020. In March, these long-term unemployed accounted for 43.4 percent of the total...
The Left are on a mission, and that is to establish a New World Order… one in which they have complete control over every single aspect of our lives. They see America as a threat to their goals, since we hold high the value of freedom and individual liberty. In order to win, they must ensure that we...
Buried amid the chaos of the Biden regime, which has only been in power for roughly four months, is actually some good news if you take it the right way. Article by J.D. Heyes from Natural News. Simply put, Biden’s diminished mental state coupled with his left-wing handlers’ tanking of the economy and pathetically weak foreign policy have created one crisis...
We have a contender for this year's "Worst Excuse for Failure" award. White House economic adviser Cecilia Rouse was trying to make excuses for the horrific jobs report from April. One of her excuses was that Easter fell in March this year, prompting the bad April report. Even if we set aside the obvious question of what Easter...
By this point readers are more than familiar with the previously unthinkable infringements on our traditional rights and liberties due to “health and safety” lockdowns that the state has inflicted upon us over the last year. While thankfully more and more restrictions are being lifted, it is important not to forget the period of veritable universal house arrest...
Most wealthy countries today have central banks. And most of these central banks operate discretionarily. What this means is that monetary policymakers have significant latitude to determine the course of monetary policy. Although monetary policy is crafted using sophisticated economic tools, ultimately any policy decision in a discretionary regime is a judgment call. Article by Alexander William Salter...
During the 2020 Election, I kept saying that if Joe Biden won it would end any chance we had to have a Republican as President again in our lifetime. I also continually reminded everyone that Democrat control of the Federal Government would result in the ripping up of the Constitution, which leads to the end of America as...
As Joe Biden and Democrats talk about $6 trillion in new spending from DC alone, the consumer price index saw a 4.3 percent jump, the fastest increase since 2008.
