  • Letters: This is America

    I read the letter to The Madera Tribune (April 3) by Chuck Wieland and the reply (April 10) by John Wright. I appreciated the comments by Wieland about Trump, the Republican party and the colorful language.“Let’s not be silently complicit in transforming America into a Bizarro World.

  • Living On Uneasy Street

    Living On Uneasy Street Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog, It's nice to anticipate sunny weather, but it's a good idea to carry an umbrella just in case the forecasts prove overly optimistic. Yes, the market will rally if World War III didn't start last night. The market will also rally if World War III does start, because the Federal Reserve will surely lower interest rates.

  • The Fundamental Unraveling Of America

    The Fundamental Unraveling Of America Authored by Albin Sadar via American Greatness, By now, it must be overwhelmingly apparent to every American citizen that what candidate Barack Obama promised on the campaign trail back in 2008 has come to pass.
