President Donald Trump’s promise to send 5,000 dollars to each adult American citizen after the November election has one big contingency explicitly built in — that Republicans must first keep control of the United States House of Representatives and Senate in that election. It also has another big unstated contingency — that Trump follows through on his promise.
In the Wednesday episode of his Peter Schiff Show, economics and current affairs commentator Peter Schiff focused in on two situations in which he argued United States President Donald Trump has worked to pump up the value of an asset so that holders of it can sell it at a high price, while leaving in a losing position people who acted upon belief in Trump’s pitch.
For argument’s sake, let’s assume that Donald Trump is the worst United States president in history. Still, is he so bad that you would like to see him overthrown via a military coup? A new survey from the Center for Strategic Politics, reported on Tuesday by Ryan King at the New York Post, indicates that 59 percent of Democrats would feel from somewhat to very positive to waking up tomorrow morning and find out such a military coup had booted Trump from office, supposedly to safeguard the US Constitution.
You can tell something is off with the Alums for Campus Fairness’s Campus Climate Brief from the cover of the report. There you see the odd secondary title of “The Strongest and Most Concerning Campuses for Jewish and Pro-Israel Students.”
Cracking down on freedom related to alcohol was one of the early emergences of authoritarian tendencies in the United States government, as demonstrated by President George Washington leading troops to confront people in Pennsylvania who were participating in what became known as the Whiskey Rebellion against a US government tax on distilled spirits.
Economics and investing commentator Peter Schiff, in the Tuesday episode of his Peter Schiff Show, suggested people consider an offbeat investment strategy — buy nickels.

The advance of socialism and rejection of the United States Constitution have been continuing themes in America over several decades irrespective of which party has majorities in the US House of Representatives and Senate. Yet, on occasion — and especially as biennial elections approach, Republicans in Congress like to make a show of their fidelity to the Constitution and enmity toward socialism.
Mark Ruffalo put on a great performance in what I consider one of the best movies released this year — Crime 101. People should consider giving the film a viewing. They should also give consideration to Ruffalo’s comments last month regarding the relationship between the Israel government and the plans of one movie company — Paramount — to acquire another — Warner Brothers.
On August 4, I wrote about how the effort to scare Americans about the threat of measles was running up against the fact that nobody in the country has died from the infection this year. Without measles deaths, how are the measles scare promoters going to build up enough fear in parents so they load their children up with measles and other shots instead of continuing to increasingly opt out?
Americans this century have moved away from supporting the loudly proclaimed exhortation that it is extremely important that children take a slew of shots states impose for school attendance in vaccine mandates. This changing sentiment is manifesting among parents in their increasingly, where able, opting their children out these shots mandates.
