There are many types of collapses.  When I was a kid and fire buff, which I still am, I watched the Empire Building at 9th and New York Ave in Washington D.C. collapse, after a fire weakened it.  Earthquakes collapse buildings constantly around the world.  A stack of dominoes can collapse, as can a […]

  The so called “Robber Barons” of the early and mid 1800’s, were responsible for most of what made America great.  Were they rich?  You bet!  Were they smart?  Absolutely!  Were they ruthless?  Many were, but given all of the above, few Americans today, are aware of the true facts and what they did.  The […]

  The slow, but ever increasing slide of the dollar into oblivion, could be stopped and even rescued.  Not by me and you, but by the Tea Party Republicans if they wipe clean the Democrat slate next year.  If Tea Party Republicans can take the Senate and get rid of the RINOS (Republicans in name […]

  The various uprisings and revolts in the Mid East have wreaked havoc with America, and for that matter the rest of the world.  As usual, America has done exactly the wrong thing by sending warships off the coast of Libya.  We will never learn to mind our own business.  We will always decide who […]

  The state Legislatures in a couple of states have set new records for irresponsibility. A revolution. Do they realize they are making the Democrat Party the laughing stock of not only America, but the world?  “We don’t like the way the elections turned out, even though the winning candidates promised in advance what they […]

  I take all types of risks every day, as do you, the reader.  Life is full of risks, and there is even a field of endeavor called “Risk Management.”  I risk my safety when I go out in my car, that some reckless or drunk driver won’t crash into me.  I take a risk […]

  I have written thousands of columns, five books, and continue to do so.  I have huge, loose leaf books, full of columns written decades ago.  Yesterday, I picked up one of the binders and congratulated myself on stuff I had written 16 years ago.  The following was written May 8, 1995. “It is an […]

  The frauds in D.C. insist that inflation is absolutely no problem.  Bernanke says it, so we know it’s true.  Of course the official inflation rate doesn’t include foods or fuel, all of which we use daily, but that makes no difference to the D.C. Gang.  If they say we have no inflation problems, we […]

  Since we just got back late on Wednesday evening, I am going to write about where we went, because it may interest you mainlanders. Hawaii is a paradise.  During the 10 days we were there, it was always 80 or so in daytime, and maybe 60 at night.  Hawaii is a strong Democrat state.  […]

  I was going to write about the absurd State of the Union Speech, or Obamacare, but the current correction seems to be more important.  Not to me, but to newbys. The current correction in gold and silver, is the most severe in the last year. 7%.  Believe me, a 7% correction in anything, is […]
