Major Economic Warning Sign: The Euro Is Heading For Parity With The U.S. Dollar

22 Dec

“The collapse of the euro is accelerating, and it looks like we could be staring a major European financial crisis right in the face early in 2017.  On Thursday, the EUR/USD fell all the way to $1.0366 at one point before rebounding slightly.  That represents the lowest that the euro has been relative to the U.S. dollar since January 2003.  Ever since 2011, I have been relentlessly warning that the euro is heading for parity with the U.S. dollar.  When the EUR/USD was trading at about $1.40 that must have seemed like crazy talk, but I never wavered.  I just kept warning people that the euro was going to weaken greatly relative to the U.S. dollar.  Here is one example from March 2015: “How many times have I said it?  The euro is heading to all-time lows.  It is going to go to parity with the U.S. dollar, and then it is eventually going to go below parity.”  After Thursday, we are almost there, and once we do hit parity that is going to be a sign that all sorts of chaos is about to erupt…”

Political Elites Want the People to Remain  Defenseless in Public 

20 Dec

New Jersey lawmakers, primarily Democrats, voted yesterday to keep the people of the state defenseless when they are in public. In other words, our representative believe the right to self-defense stops at your front door.   How many more mass shootings or single attacks will it take for the political elites to come to their senses and allow the people to protect themselves in public?

“Lawmakers passed bills Monday related to concealed carry regulations, ride-hailing services and criminal justice reform.”
