Sometimes it takes a man of long standing to review current events of moment, and undoubtedly the "shooting of Donald Trump" is one such event, an event that seems to have sealed the fate of the Democratic party prior to the November election 2024.
So, a very significant event indeed.
Perhaps the Grand Old Republican Party is now set fair to sweep the board?
And yet, "the Donald" is said to be a man of his word - and the GOP was just as much a participating member of the Washington DC "swamp" as the Democratic Party, so perhaps there is still more water to flow under the bridge between now and November if DJT is to pull off his 2016 inaugural promise: to remove power away from Washington DC and return it to the people.
Would merely re-electing the GOP into power come anywhere close to fulfilling that promise?
Meanwhile, Bill Bonner reviews the historical context for Fortune and Freedom, and it's worth highlighting here for the benefit of those who were neither yet born in those days, nor subsequently properly educated in their history classes.
Let us hope that Donald Trump will provide an adequate answer to his question - it's hard to think of anyone else who might fit the bill, but never say never ...
Where are our ‘great men’ today?
In the apparent absence of the great and the good everywhere we look, is it now up to "we the people"?
