The history of U.S. bankruptcy

Today our federal government has $31.4 trillion of national debt recorded on its books, including $24.6T of Public Debt—which yields a Public Debt/GDP Ratio of 94%. Studies have shown that once Public Debt exceeds 90% of GDP, the debtor nation falls into a debt death spiral as the interest cost starts to suffocate economic growth needed to repay the debt. China, etc. have stopped loaning us money, so our “Independent” Federal Reserve is now printing money to loan it to the Treasury. We also have over $70T of entitlement promises that are not even recorded on our books.

Did Trump pave a path with hispanics and low propensity voters that few can replicate?

The Hispanic shift away from the Democratic Party – and specifically the dangerously incompetent Biden administration – is something Americans for Limited Government Foundation has been watching closely. New polling shows Biden’s approval rating is continuing to sink, and more Hispanics now want Trump to run for president again than want Biden to.

The battle to rescue New Orleans

In 1840, New Orleans was the third largest city in the country. As a booming port city, New Orleans enjoyed incredible growth for decades due to increasing levels of commerce on the Mississippi River and its designation as the “Gateway to the Americas.”
The population of New Orleans continued to grow until 1960, when it peaked at 627,525 residents. At that time, it was the 15th largest city in the country.

Catholic under attack by the FBI!

Did you know that traditional Catholicism is under attack by the FBI for being extreme, and festering terrorism? That’s right! The FBI issued a memo warning of extremists who are infiltrating “radical – traditionalist Roman Catholic organizations known primarily for the love of the Latin Mass.” I thought this was a joke when I first heard about the FBI’s latest blunder. But I kid you not. Such a memo was actually issued by the organization that is supposed to be there to protect, and not to intimidate.
