Weather or Not?

via LewRockwell by Capt. Randall on Tue, 12 Nov 2024 04:01:00 GMT

The news cycle leading up to a hurricane is long, but soon after landfall and damage reports; it disappears. The dead are counted, dollar amounts are guessed at and FEMA sends in the troops,…eventually.  The aftermath is soon forgotten, but not by the displaced, or the many other victims fighting-off loss, facing endless cleanups and depression. After direct hits by 3 major ‘canes in 14 months, I know.  After weeks of sleeping with chainsaws, aching hands and back, I still wonder at the strange coincidence of getting whacked, over and over and over again. Salty sweat burned my eyes, yet … Continue reading

Immigration, Hispanics, and the Political Triumph of Donald Trump

via LewRockwell by Ron Unz on Tue, 12 Nov 2024 04:01:00 GMT

The Amazing Political Comeback of Donald Trump Given that I strongly disliked the policies of both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, I didn’t pay much attention to the twists and turns of our recent presidential election, and although I voted, I wrote in someone else’s name. I can’t quite remember whom I honored with that protest vote, though it may have been former British MP George Galloway, a pugnacious pundit and host on RT. One silver lining in not having supported either major candidate in the race is that unlike many others I won’t be disappointed in my choice. For example, … Continue reading

Freedom from Digital Hell Depends on Trump’s “Multiple Personality Disorder”

via LewRockwell by Wayne Lusvardi on Tue, 12 Nov 2024 04:01:00 GMT

“If you look at the dependency of the economy on organized crime and war, the deep state is not something that happens in Washington. It’s something that happens within the cash flows of every county in America. There are 3,100 counties and 50 states and those are highly dependent on the financial machinery of the deep state. So, the corruption whether it is organized crime or war is really bottoms up. Many people in America want Trump to reduce dependency on organized crime and money laundering. But they are not prepared for the financial ramifications if he does……It is good … Continue reading

Congress Should Fire Jerome Powell

via LewRockwell by Ryan McMaken on Tue, 12 Nov 2024 04:01:00 GMT

There were a few seemingly tense moments at the FOMC press conference on Thursday when two reporters asked Jerome Powell about the prospect of Donald Trump asking Powell to resign. The first reporter asked “would you resign if asked to do so by Donald Trump?” To this, Powell responded with a resounding “no” followed by silence. A few moments later, Powell was asked by another reporter if it was lawful for Trump to either remove or “demote”—that is, remove Powell as chairman, but leave him on the Board of Governors—Powell. To this, Powell responded with a forceful “not permitted under … Continue reading

Make Money Free Again

via LewRockwell by Ron Paul, MD on Tue, 12 Nov 2024 04:01:00 GMT

Two days after Donald Trump became the first American since Grover Cleveland to win nonconsecutive presidential elections, the Federal Reserve announced a quarter percent cut in interest rates. Following this announcement, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell held a press conference where he said that he would not comply with any presidential request that he step down before his term ends in May of 2026. Powell claimed that the president lacks the legal authority to fire the Fed chairman. So, if President Trump tells Chairman Powell “you’re fired,” Powell could bring suit asking a court to review Trump’s action. President Trump and … Continue reading

No Title

via Scripting News on Tue, 12 Nov 2024 02:31:10 GMT
Does anyone know who was doing the work at kamalahq on the various social networks? I wonder if they would like to keep posting. They stopped updating on Election Day. We could change the names of the accounts. I thought it was great that there was a steady source of political news that didn't equivocate like the NYT-inspired news orgs. I would love to help fund a continuation of that flow.
