The U.S. dollar enjoys the world reserve currency status due to numerous factors.Legal and investor security, an open and transparent market, as well as independent institutions with checks and balances that limit political power and strengthen the country’s currency in relative terms. No, a country does not have a world reserve currency due to military power. No one accepted the kopek when the Soviet Union ruled half the world.For a fiat currency to be a world reserve it needs to be widely accepted as unit of measure, method of payment and reserve of value.The problem is that all the above...

Nicholas Sandmann, a former Covington Catholic High School student who traveled to Washington DC with a busload of classmates in January 2017 to walk with thousands of young pro-life kids in the annual March for Life, was a victim of hate and intolerance of the racist hate group Black Hebrew Israelites and the habitual liar and teen bully Native American, Nathan Phillips. Phillips became a hero to the Left after then-16-year-old Nick Sandmann refused to be intimidated by him, as he stood his ground and faced the leftist agitator while he repeatedly banged a drum within inches of his face....

The shooting that unfolded at a kosher market in Jersey City, N.J., was a "targeted" attack, according to officials who say at least one of the suspects had published anti-Semitic and anti-police posts online before opening fire Tuesday. Mayor Steven Fulop would not commit on Wednesday to calling the shooting an anti-Semitic attack, but said after reviewing surveillance footage, investigators believe the attack was plotted against the Jewish deli. He told reporters footage shows the gunmen passing by other shops before getting out of a van and aiming for the market.

What is the real lesson of the Covington Catholic School incident last week at the Lincoln Memorial? Decent Americans are rightly appalled at the deliberate lies propagated by the “mainstream” media, the knee-jerk surrender to Leftist narratives by allegedly “conservative” commentators, and the resultant abuse and death threats hurled at children and their families since the edited video originally went viral and was re-reported by an agenda-driven propaganda press. But this isn’t simply yet another instance of the #FakeNews Industrial Complex doing what it has been doing for so long. This isn’t just another tactical engagement on the battlefield of...

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump Looking like Nick Sandman & Covington Catholic students were treated unfairly with early judgements proving out to be false - smeared by media. Not good, but making big comeback! “New footage shows that media was wrong about teen’s encounter with Native American” @TuckerCarlson 13.3K 6:46 PM - Jan 21, 2019

So let me see if I’ve got this straight: we made fun of Clint, butt this, this is considered…high art? Apparently the giant sand sculpture of Big Guy commissioned for the opening of the DNC was damaged by a strong storm that blew in from out of nowhere... ... I don’t think even Clint Eastwood could make it funny. H/T DAILYBRISKDAILYBRISKBesides, the sand sculpture is just creepy. Did they hire the same artist who “restored” that Spanish fresco? Or just some partisan hack who dabbles in the arts? ... Anyway, I’m just saying, if you believe in omens, a big...
