A Darkness Descends Upon Washington
The year began with two ongoing conflicts that could only continue with American support. When sworn in on January 20, 2025, there was some question whether the newly reelected Donald Trump would continue supporting the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine. He had campaigned on a pledge to end the war in Ukraine in a day and curtail all overseas war, which presumably included the conflict in Gaza. For one brief moment, peace was in the air, and many looked forward to a time when all these wars would come to an end.

Venezuela And The Importance Of International Law
We live in a world founded upon the twin pillars of international law and international cooperation. The United States, above all others, has benefited from the free flow of goods and services, which have brought us one of the highest standards of living in the world.

Venezuela: Where Was The UN Security Council Meeting? The US Senate Debate?
The ramifications of today's actions in invading Venezuela will, without doubt, be profound, for in it a US President has placed the United States above international law, global norms, and US customs. By these actions, President Trump has set our Country on a rogue path, one that puts military aggression above peaceful deliberation.

How Many Of Those Foreign Investments Are Due To Trump's Tariffs?
President Donald Trump is the most loquacious Chief Executive the country has ever seen. During his third campaign for President, he would speak before tens of thousands, often for hours, while enthralling everyone. His crowds loved it and came away feeling they understood precisely what Trump's vision for America was. However, as he has transitioned to his second term, there is a definite lack of precision when he describes his policies – a "muddying of the waters" if you will, making it difficult, if not impossible, to determine precisely what the policy is. A case in point is his recent sp...

There's An Issue When President Trump Speaks To Us About Tariffs
Tariffs are the most consequential economic policy of this Trump Presidency. Yet we have a President who is demonstrably wrong in his recitation of the Tariff's income and benefits. Will someone in this Administration set the record straight?

JPMorgan Chase Revives An Old-Time Investment Risk
It was a simple executive-change notice, the kind that dots the financial press nearly every day. Todd Combs, one of Warren Buffett's senior managers, would be leaving Berkshire Hathaway to form a new unit at JPMorgan Chase. But this was far from an ordinary management change. For the first time in nearly a century, the fabled House of Morgan would invest its own capital in the stock market.

What President Trump Risks In Venezuela
The Pentagon likely instructed the President to curtail all additional Russian-supplied arms to Venezuela, because there is one weapon that is of utmost concern for the US Military. That weapon is the growing number of hypersonic missiles Russia has developed. Among those, Hypersonic is the sea-based Zircon, as well as the seven-year-old, battle-tested Kinzhal.

President Trump's Fundamental Flaw As A Global Salesman
The effort, by President Trump, to make America come out on top in every transaction may seem entirely laudable. But there comes a point when the other side of those transactions begins to doubt whether there's any benefit for them. As any good salesman knows, buyers will walk away from any "deal" that offers little or nothing. Advertise to the world, as the President is doing, that we're going to make a giant profit, and global buyers will think what we're selling is too expensive.

Russia's Ancient Strategy: The Cauldron
First Published in May 2023 The War in Ukraine is like nothing we’ve ever seen. For NATO and especially the United States, the conflict remains a mystery, a contradiction of every theory of modern warfare. The West’s concept of War goes back, at least to Genghis Khan and his Mongol cavalry — a strategy of broad sweeping attack over vast areas of land. The objective is to cover as much territory as possible and drive out the enemy. War became a giant chessboard where the winner had the most ground.

Undoing An Economic Miracle
The 1970s were the last time we had the toxic combination of high Government Deficits and strong Government controls, like Nixon's wage and price controls and Trump's Tariffs. The result was that economists had to invent a new term for the outcome: Stagflation. It's hard to imagine things turning out differently this time.

Why We Must Demand That Washington Get Back To Work
So, imagine your employer/contractor announced it will stop paying you and put you on a temporary furlough for an undetermined period. Although you understood that such a draconian action was possible, it must have come as a real shock, a financial blow that you're still living through. Twelve million of our fellow citizens are currently living through just such an economic crisis. Ironically, it's the most secure employer of all, the US Government, that is inflicting this pain on its own workers and contractors.

For days, speculation has raged as pundits and analysts have tried to determine the meeting's agenda. What was so vital that Secretary Pete Hegseth would bring all the military "brass" together in one location? In itself, this was a reckless and dangerous move, a temptation for any enemy to decapitate, in one fell swoop, the Nation's military leadership.

The demand for Soy in the States had continued to gradually strengthen, as many Americans sought out the healthy, vegetarian alternative to red meat.

America's Risk Of Geo-Conflict Rises

Yet most people seem totally oblivious to these possible dangers. It is especially true for Wall Street, where most of the investing class dismisses any risk with a shrug.

The World Responds To American Tariffs And Sanctions
However, it's only now that we're beginning to feel the added pinch of this new import tax. Because it takes time for imports to reach American ports, be transported to local stores and shops, it has taken this long for us to see those new, tariff-laden goods. Labor Day Weekend was the beginning of what we anticipate will be a sustained elevation in prices due to tariffs. Regrettably, we're only at the first chapter of what will likely be a very long story, one that may have a profound financial influence on us all.

Regrettably, we're only at the first chapter of what will likely be a very long story, one that may have a profound financial influence on us all.

A President Who Demands The Very "Best"
President Donald John Trump has lived a life that few of us can even imagine. For years, we've seen him on the cover of magazines and the front page of newspapers—photos of him walking with celebrities, shaking hands with Presidents. He's been the epitome of a real estate tycoon, having owned signature properties, including a selection of golf courses, three Atlantic City Casinos, and now his legendary Trump Tower in Manhattan and the Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach.

The Hubris Of Tariffs
At the core of President Trump's Tariff Policy are the multiple goals of reducing the nation's trade imbalance, re-industrializing the country, and raising funds for the government budget. Almost no one would argue with these objectives.

Trump And The Coming Global Trade War
President Donald J. Trump is a consummate salesman and a master marketer. On April 2, Liberation Day, the day he announced his worldwide tariffs, it was a presentation long on benefits but short on costs. Like any salesman, Trump was anxious to "sell" the country on the benefits of this new import tax. The new tariffs would provide a short-term, one-time price boost, while offering a lasting income stream to "even the playing field" in international trade, said Trump.

How A Temporary Presidential Directive Took Us Off The Gold Standard
It was the mid summer in 1971 when President Richard M. Nixon gathered 15 of the nation's leaders together to discuss the twin problems of high inflation and slow economic growth, what came to be known as "Stagflation."

Why Manufacturing Left America
It would be years before I learned that Berkshire Hathaway had been taken over by one of the preeminent investors of all time, Warren Buffett. Buffett had identified Berkshire as an undervalued company that made a worthwhile product. And at that time in his evolution as a portfolio manager, Buffett was renowned for buying what some on Wall Street labeled as “cigar-butt” companies. Companies that weren’t particularly attractive or scintillating but produced positive financial results year after year.

On April 2, President Trump announced that the United States would impose tariffs on all its trading partners. He called it "Liberation Day." From his perspective, the day that America would be "freed" from being "ripped off" by other countries' predatory trade practices. The President would go on to tell us that this was an idea he had thought of 40 years ago.
