On September 18, 1928, at the peak of the ‘Roaring 20s’, an American investor by the name of Evelyn Gregory was sitting on a fat capital gain totaling over $133,000– worth more than $12 million in today’s money. The top federal tax rate back then was 25%… but Evelyn wasn’t inclined to fork
I imagine life can often feel pretty difficult for today’s high school students. On top of dealing with classic teenage drama like homework, hormones, pimples, parents, driving, dating, university selection, and more, students these days have to contend with a host of new challenges. They suffered long periods of brutal Covid lockdowns. Active
Last week’s headlines were understandably dominated the special counsel’s report which chronicled President Biden’s “diminished faculties and faulty memory”. So, it’s easy to understand why no one even noticed the Congressional Budget Office’s $20 trillion bombshell announcement that was released within hours of the special counsel report. Granted, an investigation concluding that the
“Can Selecting the Most Qualified Candidate Be Unfair?” asked researchers in a recent study published by the American Psychological Association. And the short answer, according to this new ‘science’, is a resounding YES: hiring the most qualified people based purely on their merit and talent is unfair. Naturally they don’t actually discuss WHY.
Thousands of years ago during the late Bronze Age– most likely between 1100 and 1200 BC, two ancient civilizations were exhausted after nearly a decade of warfare. On one side was the ancient Achaean peoples led by the Mycenaean king Agamemnon. On the other was a legendary Hittite city that had already been
It’s interesting to see how so many mainstream voices are starting to express concern about the gargantuan size of the US national debt. For most of the past decade, even as the debt spiraled out of control and passed $20 trillion, $25 trillion, $30 trillion, etc., hardly anyone in the media said a
Last week when I wrote about the dumbest guy of the week, I should have known it wouldn’t be a one-time thing. A week ago I wrote about Congressman Jamaal Bowman, who was demanding that the US government make “at a minimum” $14 trillion worth of reparations payments. (Remember, this is the same
Yesterday the Treasury Department announced that they expected to increase the national debt by a whopping $760 billion this quarter alone… and another $202 billion next quarter. In short that means almost $1 trillion added to the national debt just in the first half of this year. And, again, these are the Treasury
Imagine waking up on a tropical mountain setting as the sun rises over the valley below. You take a dip in your infinity pool before eating a breakfast complimented by fresh mango and papaya from your own garden. And the beans for your morning coffee came from a farm just down the road.
When Publius Licinus Valerianus (known as Valerian) became Roman emperor in September of 253 AD, people across the empire must have breathed a sigh of relief. “Finally,” many Roman citizens probably thought, “There’s an adult in the room.” The Roman Empire at that point was in the midst of its infamous ‘Crisis of
What follows below is purely satire. But just barely. We hope you have a good laugh after a long week. Texans have long complained about the pitiful condition of many of US federal highways that pass through their state. But eventually the state government grew tired of waiting around for the Biden administration
After nearly 15 years of flying solo in this business, I’m excited to announce that Sovereign Man is officially joining forces with my old friend Peter Schiff. (Our new venture is called Schiff Sovereign, and you can check out the new website at www.SchiffSovereign.com). Peter, as you may know, is one of the
Chances are there will never be a formal inquiry about the insurrection of September 30, 2023. Nancy Pelosi won’t hire a Hollywood producer to stage theatrical prime-time specials showing members of Congress grilling witnesses. The mainstream media won’t constantly wail about it for the next several years. And no one will ever be
“In the present position of Europe,” Napoleon wrote to his ambassador in Constantinople, “all my thoughts are directed towards England. . . nearly 120,000 men and 3,000 boats. . . only await a favorable wind to plant the [French flag] on the Tower of London.” That was written in March 1804. And to
That infernal clanging you might have heard outside your bedroom window this morning was the sound of the proverbial can being kicked down the road, yet again. With no agreement on spending anywhere on the horizon for the current fiscal year, the US Congress passed yesterday a ‘Continuing Resolution’ to keep the government
