Palestinian Genocide and Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Israeli-Palestinian conflict has raged for hundreds of years. Since October 2023, many people have been talking about a “Palestinian genocide.” For many decades, ‪Israel has been under constant bomb and missile assault by Palestinians/Arab States/Hamas. After years of constant bombardment, in 2010, Israel invested in an anti-missile system called Iron Dome to protect itself. This is just one aspect of…

House Republicans Beyond Delusional

I may have never heard so many House Republicans — all of them — completely divorced from reality. Whether they like or hate Speaker McCarthy, they are all talking as if the Democrats are the problem. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is a Republican. Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz proposed vacating McCarthy from the Speakership of the House. Last week, Republicans brought…

LGBTQ Despair

Looking back, the overall increase in LGBTQ hate has been measurably escalating since 2016. 2016 is when the tide sharply began to turn against many minority groups in America.  The hate of LGBQ people arises in large part  from fear of “The  Other,” people who are different in a way that seems important, often for odd and  irrational reasons.

Much like a former US government official grifting with badly photoshopped NFTs. From the Washington Post.

What Does The Econo-Political Crystal Ball Say?

Let’s look at Paul’s Econo-Political Crystal Ball:  2022  In the last two months, US inflation growth has slowed.  Monthly US inflation rates will stay about the same for another month or two, without going up much.  Americans will most likely vote Republicans into US House and (maybe) Senate majorities in November 2022.  2023  Monthly inflation rates will go down as…

Republicans Offer Great Economic Ideas

I heard recently that Republican Party candidates are doing really well against Democratic Party candidates in November election polls because of the U.S. economy, especially relatively high inflation. I wondered if Republicans have proposed great economic ideas. So I decided to look up all the ideas and proposed legislation from Republican Senators and Representatives to address U.S. or global inflation,…

Free-Market Economy?

Many people — especially Republicans — say they want a small United States government that doesn’t regulate much or interfere in the free-market economy. But when demand is high, supplies are relatively low and the free-market economy gives the world high inflation, then what? Instead of simply paying the higher prices and reveling in the glory and joy of a free-market…
