Today I want to talk about a disappearing phenomenon before it is gone, your dollar’s purchasing power. The dollar is the world’s reserve currency and the current arrangement was set up at Bretton Woods in 1944 as the US was set to help the rest of the world after the war. America had all the …

In 1997, there was a wonderful neo-noir crime drama called LA Confidential. It tells the story of three cops in the early 50s. Colin McCormick and Padraig Cotter set the stage well in their piece on ScreenRant.com, “Directed by the late Curtis Hanson, L.A. Confidential is an adaptation of James Ellroy’s novel of the same …
Today we continue with one more post on the hodge podge stew of bullshittery that we are about to embark on. While the task force was being announced also just over a week ago over 60 million people watched or at least logged in and tried to watch a 58 year old Mike Tyson fight …

This past weekend Don Trump worked the fries and drive thru at a McDonald’s in swing state Pennsylvania. It is good to see he found a job that he is qualified to do. Now we just have to find a job Kamala is qualified to do and get them both to stay there, but I …
On the September 15th episode of Looking Backwards Looking Forwards, I wrote about the Russian position regarding the US technology being used in long range missiles and fired from Ukraine.
