President Donald Trump revealed in February 2025 a highly contentious plan to transfer Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring countries like Egypt and Jordan. His plan was to transform Gaza into the "Riviera of the Middle East" and did not exclude using American forces to do so. The plan has been widely criticized as a means of ethnic cleansing, a term applied to the forced transfer of a religious or ethnic population from a particular territory, often with the use of violence

Africa, a continent of unparalleled diversity and untapped potential, has long grappled with economic challenges that have hindered its development. One bold solution that has been proposed is the creation of an African Central Bank, a unified monetary authority that could play a pivotal role in reshaping the continent's economic landscape. This essay explores the potential benefits of Africa establishing its own central bank, from fostering economic stability and growth to e

Recent regime changes in Niger and Gabon should open our eyes to the reality that our naïve belief that Africa is a monolith is an incredibly dangerous position. Our generalized western conception of the needs and wants of countries in Africa has crashed violently against the reality that our American conception of “democracy” on its face is incredibly hypocritical and disconnected from the reality. Many countries on the continent of Africa are experiencing a tectonic shift p

In the aftermath of the 2007-2008 global financial crisis, policymakers and regulators recognized the need for enhanced stability and resilience in the banking sector. To address this, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) introduced Basel III, an international regulatory framework that aims to fortify the banking system by implementing stringent risk management and capital adequacy standards. In this post, we will delve into the key aspects of Basel III and under

I’ve been unapologetic in my critique of the Biden Administration’s fiscal response to inflation and equally critical of the Feds response by way of monetary policies. My opinion has not changed that the U.S. economy will be in full-fledged recession by the fall of 2023 and I’ve reached this conclusion by focusing on the commercial mortgage market as well as exploring recessionary signals like inverted yield curves. As I began my research for this piece, I was quite frankly s

I would imagine for almost everyone else, their Friday night consists of DM’s asking how they intend to spend their impending holiday weekend; DM’s confirming plans or attempts to create new plans, but my DM’s consist of angry liberals accosting me for my views on gun ownership and 2nd Amendment rights in light of the tragic events in Uvalde, TX. Before I explain in great detail the framing issues that we have around guns in America I will give you an opportunity to stop read

Over the span of Mr. Biden’s presidency, he has been forced to confront the ugly realities that come with generous fiscal initiatives: inflation. While many hope to make the debate around inflation a partisan issue, it seems more appropriate to relegate sentiments surrounding inflation to understanding the true economic goals of the U.S. economy in both the short and long term. Admittedly, I have some bias as a self-described Moderate Conservative, but the reality is that reg

WSJ Article Title : Fed Chairman Powell Navigates the Inflation Debate [1] On August 23, 2021 the Wall Street Journal published an article titled, Fed Chairman Powell Navigates the Inflation Debate , the writers describe how Jerome Powell, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, was stuck in an unusually difficult position because of the unexpected global pandemic that ravaged both domestic and foreign capital markets and the emergence of the Delta Variant following extended sta

**Here is a copy of the press release that was sent in May 2017 along with a copy of the complaint that was filed** Attorney Andrew Crumbie And Wire & Mail Fraud HARTFORD -- On May 12, 2017, Earl O'Garro, Jr., ex-President and Chief Executive Officer of Hybrid Insurance Group, who was convicted of wire and mail fraud, after a one week jury trial in December 2015, relating to misappropriated funds from the City of Hartford, filed a motion in federal court in Hartford for bond

I will not spend too much time re-stating what is contained in the attachment. Read and let's discuss, much of this will become relevant very shortly.

August 17, 2021 TrueNewsReport By: Nathaniel Ballantyne New York City – Natural disaster is a good business, and no one knows this better than the Red Cross, a nonprofit organization with over a hundred years of experience. In 2010 a devastating earthquake struck Port-Au-Prince killing over three hundred thousand people. The world was shocked and sprung into action. The Red Cross quickly set up hotlines and television commercials seeking donations, and within a few days, mil

I told myself a few months back, when I heard the term ‘Critical Race Theory’ (CRT), that I was going to leave the subject alone and focus on other subjects like the militarization of the police, or criminal justice reform. Against my better judgement, I elected to dive a bit deeper and try to understand why my fellow Republicans were up in arms about this notion of effectively teaching children in American schools’ history that is encompassing of a racialized perspective for

Admittedly, back in May of this year I dragged my feet in writing about Haiti and its disarray. With the benefit of hindsight, I acknowledge that my trepidation was rooted almost exclusively in my belief that things would ultimately get worse so I would wait until then to share my thoughts, I figured I had a little bit of time. In full disclosure, my views shared herein should be considered alongside the fact that in in late 2020 I was asked to assist in the Presidential ele
