Paraguay is the honey badger of South America

Two German players- Kimmich and Neuer make more than the entire Paraguay team. That’s how big an upset this was.

Shortsightedness is the not-so-secret destroyer of this country.

Is anyone else worrying about how the eurozone debt crisis might affect the US?

Praying for Charlie and his poor wife and their young kids. We have to stop looking at each other less as symbols and see each other more as humans. #FreeSpeech matters.

Interview with Congressman Burgess Owens open.substack.com/pub/nique/…

There have been three watershed periods in the life of the American Republic. The first was from the creation of the original Constitution to the Civil War. The second was from Lincoln to Woodrow Wilson. We have been living within the structures that Wilson laid down and FDR built up - globalist, bureaucratic, and centralist (federal government dominant). Trump in many ways is the anti-Wilson - nationalist, technologist (as a substitute for bureaucracy), and decentralist. We don't know yet if this is a fourth watershed, but we do know that at least in the short-term, states are going to be asked to take on more responsibilities than many of us have seen in our lifetimes. The changes looming for education and emergency management are likely just the tip of the iceberg.

What many people don't realize is that states rights also come with states responsibilities. The new federalism that we're watching get put in place in real time requires the state governments to make adjustments that take into account what the federal government is doing. Federalism isn't just a one-way street. Decentralization only works if the states can rise to the occasion. This has broad-ranging implications for SALT, state and local governments, place-based investments, disaster recovery, finance, and more. The centralization that we have seen for the last 100 years may be more ingrained in the system than we currently realize, and we have to hope nothing critical is dropped during this transition.
