I was listening to three of the most astute political journalists in the country the other night on CBC, and the one phrase that kept coming up was, “It’s not making sense.” Andrew Coyne went so far as to say, “Are they just stupid?” Which is an echo straight out of my book, “Why Are…

Ambush at the White House
by renaissanceadmin • • 0 Comments
My take on it? Zelensky was set up in the most despicable way. They pretended to bargain in good faith until the deal was set to be signed. Once they had his hopes up, they got him in front of the news and proceeded to gaslight him. Clothing The first omen was the comment on…

Yalta 80 Years Later
by renaissanceadmin • • 0 Comments
In case you don’t recognize the original of the image above, it’s Yalta, in February 1945. Exactly 80 years ago. It should have been the final act of European colonialism, with the victors in WWII dividing up the world the way they wanted it without consulting the countries affected. For the Record: They gave Israel…

More Good News for Canadians
by renaissanceadmin • • 0 Comments
The one silver lining in the Canadian political scene right now is that when real danger threatens from outside chaos, Canadians opt for sanity and cooperation. The Tariff Malarky The business wing of the Republicans isn’t made of stupid people. The sudden postponement of the tariff plan was because of pushback from the business community.…

Canadians and Adversity

There were several silver linings to the clouds this week. When the Going Gets Tough… …Canadians band together. All sorts of news stories about “buy Canadian” moves. Canada is planning to fight in any way we can, and we’re letting Americans know it. Trumps move to postpone the tariffs had a lot to do with…

A Clash of Economic Theories
by renaissanceadmin • • 0 Comments
A Lesson in Macro-Economics The non-coincidental rise to power in United States of a demagog and an industry czar has forced the world into an experiment in economic theory on an unprecedented scale. The result will be, as usual, a minor shuffling of the power brokers at the top, and chaos and poverty for those…

The New North America
by renaissanceadmin • • 0 Comments
Now that the topic of redrawing the map of North America has been raised, I wonder if the idea doesn’t have merit. Some Americans, in their egotistical little way, see it as an opportunity to expand. However, it seems to me like the whole of our combined territories might benefit from a reshuffle. The South…

The Man Who Cannot Lose

Donald Trump is probably going to lose the election. “Ah,” you say. “But the polls say it’s a neck-and-neck race.” Not precisely true. Most of the information we have doesn’t come from the polling companies. It’s filtered through people who slant it the way that suits them. The polls give Harris the edge, but the…

Revisiting Basic Economic Ideas
by renaissanceadmin • • 0 Comments
I do my research, and I think long and hard before I form an opinion. As a result, I don’t find myself changing my mind too often. (My wife might not agree with this analysis, but she’s entitled to her own opinions.) However, present economic trends have forced me to re-evaluate some ideas I have…

How Stupid Are Voters?
by renaissanceadmin • • 0 Comments
If one were to follow the media (especially the leftist variety) lately, one might get the impression that about half the voters in US and Canada are completely brain dead. As I discovered when I researched my book, “Why Are People so Stupid?” they usually aren’t. Illogical perhaps. Stupid, no. So, with a B. C.…
