Wolfers: "There are deep concerns about the competence of the [Trump] administration. This is the worst economic team I've ever seen in my lifetime, and it's not even close. The president's understanding of economics probably at the University of Michigan would not earn him a passing grade."

Poland’s conservative President Karol Nawrocki tells Maria Bartiromo that Poland is thriving. Not just because of economic growth, but because they REFUSED to make the same two mistakes as all of the other countries in Western Europe. “This economic growth of Poland, which is noticed by all the countries, not only in Europe, but all over the world, is very radical.” “Poland also safe and secure, which is important. We did not make the mistakes about illegal migration, which affected west European countries.” “And we’re not going to repeat these mistakes.” “We do not want to make mistakes of Green Deal, which also has an impact on the economic life.”

Julius Debrah, Chief of Staff, you rushed to apologize to the Chairman of the Church of Pentecost over a comment by your appointee. Yet you have not apologized to Ghanaians who voted you into power, the very people you promised a better Ghana but are now facing a worse reality. That is hypocrisy at the highest level. Remember, your power comes from the people, not the pulpit. Julius Debrah

Sec. Wright: "The economic pressure on Iran right now is increasing dramatically. Not only is their government in the country losing their main export revenues because of our blockade, but also, the Economic Fury operation that we launched, starting just a few weeks ago, is collecting the monies of the corrupt IRGC leaders that they've squirreled away abroad."

Bacteria, parasites, fungi and mould do not cause disease because they're nature's helpers and not the enemy of nature. Germ theory of disease is so unscientific that they had to fantasize nonexistent viruses to make the theory believable without any evidence.

Australian Senator Malcom Roberts calls out the World Economic Forum's Global Agenda "The media who have the same owners as the World Economic Forum persisted with calling the World Economic Forum's evil agenda a conspiracy theory. There only a handful of Senators with courage to call out the agenda for what it is - economic exploitation and social control." "The temptation is to - at their desire - control even mundane aspects of our lives. But the truth is much more frightening than that. The world economic Forum has now turned their evil agenda to food. The campaign against farming is really a campaign against one of the necessities of life - food." "Predatory billionaires - parasitic billionaires - owning near Urban intensive production facilities producing "food-like" substances for the masses forcing the public into acceptance. To World Economic Forum's fake global warming scam. These are their own stated motives : ・ Control Consumer Goods ・ Control Food ・ Control People ・ Who controls the food supply, controls the people ・ Who controls the Energy can control whole continents ・ Who controls money can control the world The world economic forum and the predatory billionaires are currently trying to achieve all of those things and they MUST be stopped at all cost before they kill us all!

The average American does 4 months of free labor a year. Yet what does the public school system teach about taxes? Keynesian economic theory - “that taxes & gov’t spending are great,” while conveniently not teaching strategies to protect your money. Now why would that be?
