Something that both of the (idiotic) political parties seem to be missing is the whole major problem summed up as “Where does growth come from? Around here, though more on the Peoplenomics side of things, the answers are lined up and we go through them from time-to-time. One way to jump-start an economy is to … Read More

With War on the Horizon, time to dial things in. Back in 2015, we outlined how to build a fairly effective “home intelligence platform” using readily available online tools.  Until recently, however, there wasn’t much to “move the needle” in terms of international crisis.  That has recently changed.  So this morning with get back into … Read More

As I get further into outlining the second book on the collapse of the Internet (Broken Web came out in 2012), the folly of Man’s waste of resources becomes ever-more apparent. We live in a society that – presented with the great promise of advancement based on “mind amplifiers” – has not only turned its … Read More

Let’s roll into the data, first of all.  The press release is just out: “(Here are) the latest results for the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices, the leading measure of U.S. home prices. Data released today for January 2019 shows that the rate of home price increases across the U.S. has continued to slow. YEAR-OVER-YEAR The … Read More

BREAKING First housing data of the day Back with the Case-Shiller data about 8:15 AM While most of the mainstream media is wrapped around the axle of a story we called correctly from the beginning, there’s a much more sinister reality coming into focus that no one is sounding the alarm on. Internet licensing is … Read More

As I wrote in the special update Sunday, the US media, at least that portion which has swallowed the lefty “blue pill” owes America an apology for pissing away time, energy, oh – and taxpayer dollars – “investigating” a slimy piece of political “opposition research” whose goal was to a) smear DJT and b) become … Read More

As a long-time AP stringer during my major market news career, I was appalled to read the disavowing AP cow-towing to liberalistas when the summary of the Trump report from Robt “Witch-Hunter” Mueller began to filter out. An example of my disappointment in the AP may be found in: “In fact, Mueller did not make a determination … Read More

Can we blame the 460-point Dow drop Friday on the end of a political election report? Because of travel, we will have an exceptionally short report this morning.  Assisted by an ill-timed Microsoft update that stole an hour of work time.  But, not like we’re the first victims under that bus. For those wondering, yes … Read More

A major part of prepping is “keeping sharp” on those skills that you have earned over time.  Like any set of muscles, they are guaranteed to deteriorate over time. You have three skill areas to be concerned with: Mental skills: Physical skills And mixed skills Let’s run through some of them and see how fast … Read More

Sitting in a casino hotel in Oklahoma at 5 AM writing, it’s just not right to think about doing a chi-square analysis for you.  I’m, trying to “unlax” a bit, since re-laxing presumes a preceding “lax” has occurred.  Not so. We haven’t seen hide nor hair of “lax.” Before I regale you (assuming you knew gale, lol) … Read More

Yes.  Climate has been changing ever since the Laurentide Ice Sheet began to pull back from places farther south than Chicago.  St. Louis, perhaps? Three serious reality checks:  No amount of political hype shuck and jive would have changed the ultra-slow motion melting. Second reality check:  The world was never intended to support well north of … Read More

It’s one more “world-ending” threat to consider.  Unlike the odds of a full-on nuclear exchange between parties on the Indian subcontinent, we don’t hear much in the daily fear-mongering about what could happen if the world got too much really good news from the field of medicine. Rather than monger, though, we’ll look at an … Read More

In my 2012 book Broken Web (see “books” in menu) I forecast that the USA would, shortly after our big economic break (just ahead, though possible this Fall) that we would replay the outbreak of federal regulatory powers that culminated in the Communications Act of 1934.  This Act, I noted, effectively seized and controlled the … Read More
