An article by Dr. Michael Rubin suggests that’s likely. Now it seems the Taliban are preparing to make their move and export their revolution. Ahmad Massoud’s National Resistance Front, which maintains a strong intelligence network in Kabul, the Panjshir Valley and across northern Afghanistan, reports that in recent weeks, the Taliban first transferred 16… Continue reading Might Russia be facing Islamic terrorism coming out of Afghanistan?

“Why the middle class is being destroyed”
That’s the title of an article at American Greatness. I don’t necessarily agree with all the author’s arguments, but he makes an intriguing case that deserves our attention. Here’s an excerpt. The emergence of a cognitive elite, and, for the first time in history, the almost total convergence of intellectuals with the financial elite… Continue reading “Why the middle class is being destroyed”
US used auto sales crash – more confirmation
Yesterday I put up an article titled “Vehicle sales as a bellwether for the economy“. Reader Andrew Smith added a comment linking to the video below, for which I’m grateful. The speaker calls himself the “Economic Ninja”, and certainly seems to have inside knowledge of the US auto market. He reinforces what I said… Continue reading US used auto sales crash – more confirmation
“The Death of Germany, and Europe”

Sounds like the Italians have picked themselves a worthwhile leader
I don’t normally follow Italian politics very closely, but I’ve watched the recent election campaign there with real astonishment. To have the President of the European Commission publicly and unashamedly threaten the Italian electorate with “consequences” if they elect the “wrong” government . . . that’s mind-boggling. So much for democracy! Thankfully, Italian voters… Continue reading Sounds like the Italians have picked themselves a worthwhile leader
Yikes!
This graphic popped up on MeWe yesterday evening. I can’t link directly to the post concerned. Clickit to biggit. The original poster didn’t provide a source link, or any further details about where the data had come from. It’s pretty scary, isn’t it? I’d love to know how accurate those figures are. Certainly, the… Continue reading Yikes!

Saturday Snippet: Notes on Inflation
We’ve heard from investment guru John Mauldin in these pages on several previous occasions. He’s one of the few economic commentators whom I read regularly. He’s able to summarize critical issues into a few paragraphs, and make sense of interlocking factors affecting the economic world we live in. In his latest weekly newsletter, titled… Continue reading Saturday Snippet: Notes on Inflation
