What is National Banking? Why is it Mandatory for Human Economic Development?
Introducing a three part class series on National Banking—In 1791, with the creation of the Bank of the United States, Alexander Hamilton launched the greatest economic revolution in human history. Later, in 1862, with the issuance of the Greenbacks, Abraham Lincoln sparked the most powerful growth of industry and agriculture, again, in all of human history. Sovereign National Banking has proven, through its own accomplishments, that explosive economic growth and development can be willfully created, for the benefit of all of the people and for all future generations. read more

Putin surprised by Ukraine resistance
Monica Showalter: Ukraine is fighting back. And that must startle invading Vladimir Putin, who seems to have expected another Afghanistan-style takeover, the way the Taliban did it -- the Taliban marching in, the the local president loading up his money and flying off without a fight, and the boldest locals cramming onto U.S. waiting jets. Few fought back in that one and the disaster speaks for itself. We don't see that in Ukraine. The U.S. offered Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a flight out and he refused it.

Texas ranchers want Biden to control border, not pay for damages
Washington Examiner: Texas ranchers are rejecting an offer from the federal government to cover property damages resulting from illegal immigration and drug smuggling, fearing the aid will come with strings attached and won't help with the underlying problems at the border. A Department of Agriculture initiative to pay landowners across the state for a wide array of losses they sustained due to a surge in trespassers traveling from the border north into Texas is being met with skepticism and calls for President Joe Biden to secure the border.

Forbes: Even as the omicron variant loosens its grip on the world, destinations continue to require travelers to show proof of vaccination.

To date, 21 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico offer accessibility to the SMART Health Card, a verifiable digital proof of vaccination developed through the Vaccination Credential Initiative (VCI), a global coalition of public and priva... read more

CBS inflates Ukraine responsibility for inflation
Fox News: CBS News is being ripped by critics for blaming increased gas prices, inflation and supply-chain issues on Russia and the crisis in Ukraine rather than the Biden administration's handling of the economy. "The U.S. economy has been hit with increased gas prices, inflation, and supply-chain issues due to the Ukraine crisis," the liberal network wrote in a Tuesday tweet, linking to an article that described what "could" happen as a result of Russian action in Ukraine rather than the economic challenges already impacting Americans.

Russia: from sanctions to slump?
The economic war between the US-led NATO group and Russia is hotting up alongside the real war in Ukraine itself. In response to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the US and Europe have upped the ante in imposing economic sanctions. The first of these was the suspension of any dealings with several leading Russian banks, including the two largest, Sberbank and VTB. However, it was significant that the sanctions excluded Gazprombank, the major Russian lender to energy export companies. Clearly, the West does not want to disrupt oil and gas exports through sanctions, when Germany ... read more

Trump well received at CPAC
Roger L. Simon: ... Trump has received a fair amount of criticism from media on the right, from Byron York and even occasionally from Laura Ingraham, for harping on the 2020 election. On Feb. 26, those objections seemed puerile. The paramount importance of electoral integrity couldn’t have been more clear and Trump laid that out logically. He was aided by the repeated plays on the CPAC screens of the trailer for Dinesh D’Souza’s forthcoming documentary “2000 Mules,” which evidently includes significant actual footage of extraordinary amounts of late-night ballot box stuffing.
