Entitlements Tsunami by Eric Allie, Caglecartoons

EDITOR’S COMMENT: The above cartoon image accurately portrays how a number of us feel about the impending out-of-control disaster of entitlement spending, and how the Obama Administration is not preparing for it. This commentary provides great insight into the plight of the average hard-working American worker, while exposing those, who exploit the nation’s so-called “safety net.” “At this point, an astounding 49 percent of all Americans live in Read More »

Mining Stock Bull Market-2399699

By Jack Kneafsey

King World News again had some very interesting comments on its site from an interview with acclaimed money manager, Caesar Bryan from Gabelli & Co., regarding his current thinking on gold itself and the mining shares.

He comments that “The fundamental story for gold has not changed, and if it has, it has changed for the better. There is simply too much debt, both here and in Europe.  In this environment Read More »

New Listingm Sold Sign-697568

EDITOR’S COMMENT: Chris Mayer provides us with an excellent perspective into what is really happening in some real estate markets, such as those that were severely depressed throughout the State of Florida, for example. As we’ve been mentioning for the past couple of months, it certainly appears as if the residential home market is bouncing along the bottom. In certain areas, as you’ve read, there are actually bidding wars breaking out because Read More »

Dollars Falling

EDITOR’S COMMENT: Here is another very well written and in-depth commentary that should answer, once and for all, some of the economic or financial questions that have been nagging you lately. Especially since, your own personal experiences and observations do not reflect what you are hearing from our government and from our media!

Where the Bond Traders Are RJ Matson, Roll Call

EDITOR’S COMMENT: These comments were written this past week, but before the results of the German elections were known. Nevetheless, since these results were anticipated, John Browne’s conclusions and insights  are still timely and informative.

By John Browne, Senior Economic Consultant to Euro Pacific Capital.

Last week’s media headlines focused on how the election results in France and Greece reflected a wave of rising public resistance across Europe to the austerity programs being championed Read More »

Obama’s Intel Twofer: Undermined US National Security and Compromised Brit Intelligence

Fruity Loomy Terrorists by Daryl Cagle, MSNBC

EDITOR’S COMMENT: What Am I Missing Here? Simply put, this is what happens, when you have a President , who is more interested in winning voters and getting re-elected, than he is in running, managing and protecting our country. Apparently, our intelligence agencies and the Brits are furious, as seen from this commentary from American Thinker!

By Rick Moran

I think you actually have to make a serious effort to be this spectacularly inept.

Financial Armageddon: Should a Rational, Thinking Person Be Worried?

Posted on May 11th, 2012
Serious About Debt by RJ Matson, The St. Louis Post Dispatch

EDITOR’S COMMENT: Robert Barone takes note of all the dire forecasts of financial Armageddon being bandied about in Washington, in your emails and even on the so-called “happy-talk” cable TV shows. So, he asks “should a rational person be concerned with the histrionics of the predictors of doom?”

Well, rather than fully answer this question for you, he has provided you with enough financial figures, forecasts, projections, and long-term assumptions for you to Read More »

Forget Homeland Security, Now It’s About “Environmental Justice”

Posted on May 10th, 2012
TSA and Liberty by Gary McCoy, Cagle Cartoons

EDITOR’S COMMENT: I had to aggressively research this information, because, I, frankly, couldn’t believe that I hadn’t heard of this previously. Not surprisingly, this new layer of authority being handed off to the TSA, under the umbrella of the Department of Homeland Security, is being kept somewhat under wraps. Where is the mainstream media on this?

Aside from the totally unjustified expansion of TSA’s powers, what bothers me most about this is that Read More »

“We Are Preparing For Massive Civil War,” Says Dept. Homeland Security Informant

Posted on May 9th, 2012
Homeland Security at Penn Station

EDITOR’S COMMENT: I wanted you to be aware of these comments by a “supposed” Department of Homeland Security informant regarding the rumors that DHS is, in fact, preparing for not just civil uprisings, but actually riots and “massive civil war” in this country later on, as reported by ETF Daily News. Personally, these comments seem a “little over the top” to me at this point in time, but, as always, I just Read More »
