The Jason Stapleton Program

The media is going bonkers over Trumps latest tweets. They're calling his sanity into question while claiming he's calling for violence against the media.

The reality is, both the media and Trump are right...and wrong.

I'll break it down for you today.

***
Politico has a story out claiming Colorado Springs has tried and failed to create a libertarian paradise.

It's an extremely slanted article, but there's plenty we can learn from the discussion.

I may manage to piss off everyone today. You be the judge.

We get a lot of fear mongering coming out of the reporting on North Korea. I've been all over the world, but never over the 38th parallel so...

My perspective, opinion, and analysis of the North Korean situation is based solely on my life experience. That's why I've invited Michael to come and share his insights.

He's a recognized authority on North Korea, and he's got a sense of humor to boot.

I got a lot out of this interview, and I know you will too.

Michael has written a book on Kim Jong Il entitled "Dear Reader" and you can pick up your copy here:

There's been a lot of posturing over the last few days with Russian and NATO jets "buzzing" each other in the sky.

It's the type of high school flexing designed to see if you'll flinch.

The problem is, this type of juvenile shenanigans can start a war, and all sides should take a step back from the edge.

Don't count on any big changes. Both the US and Russia are lead by macho-personas that don't show any signs of capitulation.

Are we on the cusp of another world war? I hope not, but the table is set, the chess pieces are in place. All we need now is for someone to make the first move.

P.S. Here's the link to the business course I talked about: www.jasonstapleton.com/kickstart

The interwebs are in an uproar over Amazon's purchase of Whole Foods. Apparently, the world is ending, and big companies like Amazon must be stopped.

Never mind the fact that people can now get goods from all over the world shipped to their front door in 2 days for FREE.

And let's ignore the how Amazon often offers products cheaper than they can be purchased in store, providing additional savings to consumers.

The critics are right about one thing. Our global economy is changing. It always has been, it always will be. Those who see it and understand it will profit from it. Those who stay locked in the old ways of doing business will perish.

Today I'm going to share my thoughts on Amazon and the 21st-century economy. The opportunity to make millions exists for each one of you. All you need to do is seize the opportunity.

Yeah, you read that right. Apparently the premium hikes you're going to see this year aren't due to a failed socialist program designed to capture and monopolize one of the most important industries in America.

NO! It's Trump's fault because he's created uncertainty for insurers over whether the government will continue to pay them billions in subsidies.

One might make the point that had the government not gotten involved in subsidizing private companies, to begin with, this problem wouldn't be, well, a problem.

But to make such a bold, shocking claim would require HONESTY! Something the media isn't all that fond of.

The Truth: Premiums are going up because Obamacare was doomed to failure from the beginning. Assembled by partisan hacks and paid lobbies who know as much about health insurance as they do quantum physics.

NATO is increasing its troop deployments along the border with Russia. The buildup coincides with the US stationing 330 Marines in Norway, the first time since WWII they have been allowed to do so.

***
After the downing of a Syrian aircraft by US warplanes, Russia has responded by vowing to shoot down all "flying objects" in Syria. One would assume that means US jets as well.

It seems Russia has beat us to the "no-fly-zone" punch.

What does it all mean? Should you be worried? Is another world war inevitable? I'll discuss it all today. Don't miss it
