John T. Reed’s news blog

I added Swedish currency to my list of those I hold and recommend. I am taking them off the list. That country is committing some sort of suicide with their immigrant policy. I have seen a number of news reports about it most recently Tucker Carlson tonight.They let a whole lot of Muslim immigrants in starting in the 1970s. They are now 4.6% of the population. Few of the Muslims work. The vast majority are on very generous welfare paid for by Swedes who do work. Rape capital of Europe And the Muslims commit crimes against the Swede, especially rape....

Here is a fun back-and-forth from Facebook:Danilo Josue reposted one of my posts: Post from John T. Reed about politico-cultural differences between Anglos and Latin-Americans written in his brash style.

The jury in effect nullifies a law that it believes is either immoral or wrongly applied to the defendant whose fate they are charged with deciding.

Can anything be done about that? Yes. It’s an impeachable offense. Can we read their minds? Yes. They give the...

I talked to my Canadian banker yesterday because I sent her some more money to put into my Canadian dollar savings account. The danger today is our debt-to-GDP ratio is too high, almost at the record level it hit after World War II. Plus, Trump wants to spend much more on the military and infrastructure and enact big tax cuts. That is likely to worsen the debt-to-GDP ratio which I regard as the main indicator of hyperinflation probability. He hopes growth will prevent the deficit from widening. I hope so too, but in the spirit of Praise the Lord and...
