American households have been unable to pay off their debts. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York recently reported that household debt has reached a new all-time high at $18.04 TRILLION. Americans acquired an additional $93 billion in outstanding payments during Q4 of 2024, with half of this debt finding its way onto high […]

COMMENT: Marty, it looks like Trump is aware of the ECM. The markets crashed right on cue with Socrates, and he refused to rule out a recession. What is most curious is that you had a Panic Cycle for this week of the 10th. I heard you prevent Google from searching your private blog. If […]

The First Amendment is designed to protect peaceful expression and assembly. It does not protect against civil disobedience or inciting violence. According to the new president, America will no longer fund schools that permit “illegal protests,” with an emphasis on universities that permit pro-Hamas rallies. The question remains whether a protest can be deemed “illegal” […]

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, I found your initial comment that Epstein was not a pedophile offensive.

There are probably a number of powerful politicians listed in those files, but there may be […]

  Well, the country is still divided, with the Democrats screaming about DOGE. I would love to see Chuck Shummer in handcuffs and sent to Riker’s Island, where he belongs.  All we hear is how evil Musk is, and that he is UNELECTED. I do not recall ever voting for the head of any agency. […]

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has called property taxes “the more oppressive and ineffective form of taxation” and is looking at ways of reducing or implementing this tax. In America, one never truly owns their home. Even if you’ve paid off your mortgage, you’re still paying rent to the government for the privilege of staying in […]

Zanny Minton Beddoes, Editor-in-chief at the Economist, began her rant: “Well, the world changed yesterday.” The anti-Americanism is percolating to a boil. She continued: “Ukraine’s future, European security and transatlantic relations were all thrown into the air by a torrent of announcements and attacks from the new administration.” This refusal by Europe to seek peace […]
