    Where California Went Wrong

    I have lived in California for more than four years, having married a lifelong California girl a while back, having come here after retiring from being a college economics professor in Western Maryland at the end of 2021. Presently, we live in Roseville, a city of nearly 150,000 that has been called one of the country’s most livable cities.

    The Truth About What Is Really Going On In The Strait Of Hormuz

    The Truth About What Is Really Going On In The Strait Of Hormuz

    We live at a time when deception is running rampant. Iran is not telling the truth about what is going on in the Strait of Hormuz. Neither is the Pentagon. On Monday, a few commercial vessels were able to get through the Strait. On Tuesday, that number dropped to zero. That isn’t progress. In fact, that is the opposite of progress. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran is the greatest threat to the global economy that I have seen in my entire lifetime. If it is not reopened soon, it will be an unprecedented catastrophe for the entire world.

    US Approves a Bomb Deal For Ukraine

    With all the focus being on fuel prices as the Strait of Hormuz crisis expands, it was easy to forget that another war continues to rage and the United States continues to fund it. Washington has approved a bomb deal for Ukraine as it continues to blow through money on its own war with Iran.

    The Battle of Ideas Paves the Way for Radicals and Revolutionaries

    In January of 1917, V.I. Lenin was disappointed. He was living in exile in Zurich, having failed to bring about a communist revolution in Russia in the wake of the Russian Revolution of 1905. Yet, being a committed revolutionary, he refused to declare defeat. In a speech to socialists on January 22, Lenin described the failure to win a decisive battle against the Russian regime as a “temporary defeat.” Nonetheless, he did not know when a similar opportunity might arise, and he told his audience:

    Media Report Claims Iran Struck A US Navy Ship

    Fars News Agency has reported that a United States Navy patrol boat has been hit by two Iranian missiles not far from the Strait of Hormuz after it ignored warnings to stay out of the critical waterway.

    The Global Fertilizer Shortage Will Sabotage Spring Planting Season In The Northern Hemisphere

    The Global Fertilizer Shortage Will Sabotage Spring Planting Season In The Northern Hemisphere

    Nobody is going to be able to save the spring planting season in the northern hemisphere now, and that is really bad news because, according to the UN, the number of people in the world experiencing acute hunger was already at an all-time high even before the war began. A historic global food crisis has been escalating for years, and now farmers all over the northern hemisphere either can’t get the nitrogen fertilizer that they desperately need or they are paying much more for it. As a result, global food prices will start rising dramatically once harvest season rolls around, and in many impoverished nations, there simply won’t be enough food for everyone.

    When America Chose Empire

    In 1901, on far-away Balangiga—a village in Eastern Samar of the Philippines—an American general gave an order that stripped away any notion of “civilizing” or “Christianizing” a foreign people: “Make it a howling wilderness.”
