President Donald Trump on Thursday again chided NATO for its reluctance to support U.S. operations in Iran, just a day after a tense private meeting with Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House.Rutte travelled to Washington to mollify the president, who remains incensed at the alliance for refusing to intervene in the de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery that typically carries a quarter of the world’s oil and gas. The strait’s near-closure has prevented roughly ten million barrels of crude oil daily from reaching global markets. But Trump, following the face-to-face talks, was far…

It was March 19, and Tucker was fishing with his dad, Aaron, and veteran guide William Oliver in northeast Texas. They were targeting big flatheads on the 4,700-acre Lake Tyler when a rod got bit. Tucker picked up the heavy-duty custom bait-casting rod and put his 90-pound body to work battling the deep cat. But it soon became obvious that the flathead was more fish than the 11-year-old could reasonably handle. “After about…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. It is difficult to believe the pace at which global events are now moving. Apocalyptic threats are being thrown around recklessly, and severe damage is being done to the global economic system every single day. A lot of people still seem to think that economic conditions will snap back to normal once the war ends, and that is because they don’t understand the level of destruction that has already taken place. Even if the war ends tomorrow and commercial traffic starts flowing freely through the Strait of…
