Latest Polls (view all)

Under the cover of Covid, and now in the shadow of the infamous Election Irregularities of that fated 2020 presidential election, with current emerging alleged election fraud in Nevada and Pennsylvania inconveniently slipping into the public discourse, there is proved a colluded ongoing Election Interference in the nomination of the Republican candidate, the likes of which has never occurred in our Constitutional Republic's history, albeit, the question remains: Do you support the plain-sight Election Interference of the Democratic Socialist party, employing its minions in their Propagandistic Media, and their Two Tiered Justice System?

98.13% No, I do not support Election Interference; I am a patriot unto our Constitution.

0.93% Yes, I do support Election Interference; the alternative, Donald Trump, to this mentally diminished president is far worse.

0.93% "What, me worry" if elections are rigged?

Federalist Columnist Offers Dire Economic Warning

Christopher Bedford of the Federalist offers an alarmist take on the nation's economy.

The U.S. economy is in trouble, and if you can believe it, that trouble isn't simply the closure of Main Street, the massive number of nationwide layoffs, and the danger of financial crisis we've all heard about. As companies run out of cash, pushing them toward insolvency, our country's business-to-business trust is at risk of coming apart, tearing and ultimately collapsing the delicate system that keeps industries as diverse as farming, chemicals, and aluminum profitable and solvent.
Just beyond - and in the midst of - the public health and financial liquidity crises is the expansive and potentially devastating solvency crisis. It won't be solved by the Federal Reserve or Washington stimulus, although there is a way to draw from an important Depression-era lesson and hold it at bay.
While government and scientists across the planet rush to find a vaccine or treatment, the harsh medicine we've prescribed is turning off much day-to-day economic activity. Normal things like work or family trips, eating out, going to a bar, or even regularly driving our cars have all ground to a crawl and, in many instances, a complete halt.
America's imperious airlines don't inspire much public empathy, but they have run at a massive loss for weeks and over the course of a few months will become insolvent. The problem for the American public, beyond the obvious, is the airlines' solvency crisis won't stop with them, nor with our local shops, regular barbers, favorite restaurants and bars, or any of the other industries in the daily news. The solvency crisis is going to continue throughout the pandemic like an aggressive tumor, spreading deeper and deeper into the lifeblood of our economy.
