By Sean Dempsey February 12, 2026 Today’s Republican Party often resembles an 11-year-old boy’s action-figure fantasy. Many in the GOP base, predominantly angry men, are acting out a macho daydream: blustering about “toughness” toward enemies foreign and domestic. They thump their chests about cracking down on Iran, putting the boot on the head of illegal […]
NB: There is no “right way” to deal with what’s coming. And what’s coming will be catastrophic. Especially if/when the commercial real estate market implodes (as early as Q1 2026). But the most important thing is being able to anticipate the coming issues (before others) and get a leg up to protect you and your […]
By Sean Dempsey, 01/06/25 Before discussing presidents, missiles, or the moral abstractions of foreign policy, it may be wise to consult the document that claims to authorize such discussions at all. The Constitution of the United States is not lengthy, nor especially poetic, but it is precise. On the question of war, it is remarkably […]
History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” – Mark Twain tldr; The US and global economies are on verge of an epic collapse. Before end of this year (perhaps even before end of October 2026), we will start to see financial/economic cracks emerge & dominos begin to fall. JAN 05, 2026 – STRATHAM, NH […]
The biggest systemic risk to markets right now. Will it be the pin to pop the “everything bubble?” The yen carry trade has long been the financial world’s favorite magic trick: borrow yen at 0%, sell it for dollars, then plow the proceeds into whatever shiny thing is booming that month: U.S. tech stocks, crypto, […]
A whimsical children’s tale to help explain the wonders and audacious logic of tariffs. == Tank Thompson, wild-eyed and grinning, cut off his own ear at recess. Nobody knew why. Maybe it was a dare no one heard … or just a storm inside him finally breaking loose. Blood slicked his neck. He held the […]
by Sean Dempsey, 04/03/2015 Tariffs Explained Tariffs, often sold as shields to protect a nation’s workers and industries, are in reality a cruel tax that falls hardest on the poor and middle class of the very country that levies them. Far from safeguarding prosperity, they distort markets, inflate prices, and erode purchasing power, as some […]
To Those Just Now Waking Up—Where Have You Been? By Sean Dempsey, 3/20/25 Oh, so now you see it? Now, after decades of rampant government abuse, after endless wars, after a surveillance state that tracks your every move, after a Federal Reserve that devalues your savings into dust—now you’re realizing that the U.S. government doesn’t follow the Constitution? […]
By Sean Dempsey, 3/13/25 Congressman Thomas Massie is once again standing as one of the last true fiscal warriors in Washington, boldly opposing yet another reckless Continuing Resolution (CR) that will further drown America in unsustainable debt. And make no mistake—Massie has been right before, even when it was unpopular. Massie Was Right in 2020—And America Paid […]
It is a curious irony of the human condition that we often kill what we profess to cherish most — or, as it is said in Latin: “Occidimus quod nos fovere profitemur.” However, this irony may be lost on the Libertarian Party. The May 2024 nomination of Chase Oliver in Washington DC as the Libertarian […]
