The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the Social Security Administration now estimate that the Social Security's retirement trust fund is projected to run out of reserves in 2032 under current law. Or, put another way, according tothe trustees' report: "the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund will be able to pay 100 percent of total scheduled benefits until the fourth quarter of 2032." After that, Social Security recipients will be looking at cuts, unless, of course, the law is changed to allot more tax money to the program.

"That it is better 100 guilty persons should escape, than that one innocent person should suffer." - Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

The hardest decision a government prosecutor may ever face is also one of the most important tests of the rule of law: What do you do when you believe a crime occurred, and you believe you know who committed it, but you do not believe you can prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and to a moral certainty?

Multiculturalism as a subversive movement is the defining political schism of our time. Is is the fulcrum point for numerous civilization changing events and a direct trigger for the exponential decline of the western world. Anyone who ignores the effects of multiculturalism will be oblivious to the many disruptions coming to our lives today and in the near future.

Why MAHA Is Fracturing

It now seems clear that the Make America Healthy Again movement is fracturing because its leaders chose power over principle, and the people who built this coalition are now watching it get hijacked by the very institutions the health freedom pioneers set out to dismantle. What began as a genuine grassroots revolt against pharmaceutical corruption, chronic disease profiteering, and regulatory capture has curdled into exactly the kind of insider game that always protects access and influence while the true believers get thrown under the bus.

Après la visite du secrétaire d'État américain Marco Rubio à Reykjavik, les États-Unis veulent renforcer leur présence militaire en Islande. Selon le Wall Street Journal, les ports, aérodromes et installations de surveillance du pays pourraient appuyer les opérations américaines dans l'Atlantique Nord, avec l'aval des autorités islandaises.

Brèves de crise  

Bien entendu que les midterms de 2026 jouent un rôle politique essentiel puisque nous nous trouvons au cœur d'une crise considérable de l'américanisme. L'enjeu est, tout aussi évidemment, la question du pouvoir du président Trump et de ses différentes initiatives considérées comme autant éléments de crise : rien dans l'action de Trump n'échappe à cette référence crisique.

Dorothy Day's own post-conversion writings and actions might be enough to disqualify her from consideration for canonization by the Church - save for an ulterior agenda behind the effort.

When it comes to contextualizing the tech, bond, gold and policy headlines of Q4 2026, it's easier to foresee their pathway ahead by first looking backwards. Once understood, we mathematically realize that our problems are not in the future, they are right now.

The 1970s

Ah, the 1970s. It was an era of bellbottom jeans, checkered suits, wide ties, the music of ABBA and Saturday morning cartoons.

Late October in northern Virginia carries a specific quality of light, thin and metallic, as if the sun itself has begun to withdraw from the coming winter. On the morning of October 30, 1989, this light fell across the loading dock of a commercial building on the outskirts of Reston, Virginia, where a freight truck from John F. Kennedy International Airport had arrived after driving through the night.

Writes Ginny Garner:

Dolly Parton rarely talked politics because she was a smart and successful business woman who understood she was an entertainer, not a political advisor, and she didn't want to alienate her fans who had varying political views. But even though she was a patriotic American she was definitely antiwar and I believe a libertarian. In 2005 she released the bluegrass flavored album "Those Were the Days" that included antiwar songs "The Cruel War," "Blowin' in the Wind," "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?"and "Imagine." In a 2023 interview she was asked about her lyrics in her song "World on Fire." She flatly said all politicians were greedy.

Ina 2007 interview, Lew Rockwell was asked if he considered himself to be a libertarian. The context of the questions was the same then as it would be today for the same question. The question is really this: do you still call yourself a libertarian in spite of all the beltway, pro-government, pro-state intellectuals and activists who also call themselves libertarians ? Rockwell answers "yes" because, of the reasons that he states below.

Lors d'un discours prononcé devant une foule rassemblée lors d'un meeting dans le Nebraska, Donald J. Trump a balayé d'un revers de main la destruction des grands centres métropolitains américains pour préserver sa posture géopolitique en Asie du Sud-Ouest :

The legacy of the Iraqi occupation should be that land empires are the better option, especially in the 21^st century, as games of colonization no longer work.

Around 5,000 American and NATO troops dead, countless thousands more injured, the bodies of at least 180,000 Iraqis with them in the sand, and this number could be over a million by some accounts, and anywhere up to 3 trillion dollars have gone into the abyss of national debt; this was the cost of the occupation of Iraq.

There is a v ery good article by Evgeny Morozov in today's FT, emphasizing how the U.S. progressive movemenet endorsing Trump's U.S. attempt to maintain its postindustrial prosperity by establishing monopoly choke points is reminiscent of how Britain's Labour Party sught to benefit its membership from the predatory takings of British imperialism in the late 19th century.

Here's the column, to which I've added some comments by Lenin in his own 1916 critique of this - to which Morozov helpfully refers.

Donald Trump, le président américain

En campagne pour le Congrès, Donald Trump a qualifié la destruction potentielle de villes comme Los Angeles ou San Diego de "tout petit prix à payer" dans une guerre contre l'Iran. Balayant également la hausse des prix du carburant comme étant "artificielle", il a de nouveau promis une fin rapide du conflit.

"Tout le monde est attardé et rien ne fonctionne." Il s'avère que c'est là la clé pour percer le mystère de ce quatrième tournant particulier, celui d'ici et maintenant, de notre époque.

As the midterm election draws near, a number of Republicans in tough races are distancing themselves from President Trump's war. The war is unpopular because it has inflicted economic pain on the already-suffering American people.

No, I am not talking about the Iran War. I am talking about President Trump's tariff war.

The Tax Foundation estimates that, since he returned to the White House, President Trump has imposed tariffs on about 54 percent of imported goods.
