Watching America’s Collapse Existence is running out for America In the 1950s and 1960s the United States was a vibrant society. Upward mobility was strong, and the middle class expanded.

Financial Cold War

Russia, Insanity and the Treason that Wasn’t
Russia, Insanity and the Treason that Wasn’t It’s become clear to me U.S. politics is reaching a breaking point.

Yellow Journalism and the New Cold War
Yellow Journalism and the New Cold War Like Saddam Hussein a decade and a half ago, Russia and its President Vladimir Putin have been repeatedly vilified in the Western media over the last five years, helping to mobilize popular support for the reemergence of a new Cold War. Best-selling author Dan Talbot has called it […]

Trump is at his worst when….making peace with our enemies! Has he been brainwashed by Russian and/or North Korean […]

This is the moment when it positively embraces the role of serving as a mouthpiece for the government. […]
