The Pending Implosion
Implosions are events that occur without warning, yet with respect to America’s future, anyone who isn’t blind can see what’s coming. We are now on the verge of watching history repeat itself. When a dictator comes to power with an agenda for scapegoating, hatred and retribution, we are on the road to recreating the 1930’s…

A New Beginning or the Beginning of the End?

The Results of Trumps Manic-Depressive Attitude Towards Harley Davidson
Donald Trump’s policies concerning trade have been a disaster for some sectors of the US economy. But worse, Trump’s apparent willingness to escalate a trade war with China will be disastrous for Americans and American business interests. Trump has endorsed downgrading China’s trade status with the US, which will lead tariffs between China and the…
