End the War on Freedom

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 →

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 →

“If you look at the dependency of the economy on organized crime and war, the deep state is not something that happens in Washington.

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 →

The post Congress Should Fire Jerome Powell appeared first on LewRockwell.

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 →
