I have used SWI SwissInfo.ch for information a number of times in the past having gained approval to do so from time to time. Management had changed and I had to ask for permission to use their articles again. They were gracious enough to allow Angry Bear the opportunity to rebroadcast their reports in the United States. For that privilege, I am grateful. Who’s to blame for the demise of Credit Suisse? SWI swissinfo.ch, Keystone / Martin Ruetschi...

It has been a tough year for Angry Bear. We lost Dan Crawford to cancer. Dan was Angry Bear’s owner and my friend. From October of last year, I was talking to him on and off when he could talk. I would post his selected commentaries till he could no longer pick something he would want to present. The hopes of a recovery disappeared late last year. In his last week alive, his wife told me Dan hoped we could keep Angry Bear a going blog. There are...

Infidel introduced me to Annie’s blog and Annie. Angry Bear lacks for a female writer who can discuss the issues from a women’s point of view, economics impacting them, and other needs. Annie provides a different perspective than what I have on the many topics we discuss at Angry Bear. I am fortunate that Annie allows me to draw from her site “annieasksyou . . . . Our Woefully Underestimated Vice President and the Unforgiving Chattering...

I am offering up something different to Angry Bear readers. The offer is a chance to listen to an article on Radio Atlantic. Or you can read the article: “Read This Before You Buy That Sweater,” The Atlantic, by Hanna Rosin Or at least read the tag. An introduction: “We’re in the coldest season. We’re in the shopping season. We’re in the season of hygge. All the cues point to buying yourself a new cozy sweater. Don’t do it, until you...

December 21, 2023, Letters from an American, Prof. Heather Cox Richardson The Washington Post editorial board today wrote that “the battle for democracy will be fought—and won” by “explaining to the world why freedom matters to everyone, every day.” So, on an evening when our power has finally been restored, but too late for me to do a deep dive on anything, let’s see what that might look like from today’s news:  For years now, the U.S. right...

Trump & Constitutional Amendment 14, Section 3, J.P. Jefferson Posting Trump & Constitutional Amendment 14, Section 3 Should Donald Trump be on the ballot in 2024? Now before the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS), appealed from the recent 4-3 decision of the Colorado Supreme Court. I’m pretty sure that the Trump-loaded SCOTUS will find some bizarre interpretation of the obvious and allow the 4-time indicted, twice-impeached...

Parts of the Mexican border are already closed due to the influx of migrants. Puerto Peñasco or Rocky Point and Lukeville crossing, Eagle Pass and Piedras Negras, San Ysidro, etc. and several rail crossings. Reader Jim Han offered up a Thom Hartmann commentary suggesting Dems take the deal Repubs are offering up. Thom also points the finger at Repub commentary claiming a Biden policy opened southern borders to all who can get to it. Not true...

My whole life has been centered around mathematics. It was not until much later when I was told I may, might, could have a talent for writing. It did not dawn on me then as my life’s course or desire was to be an engineer of some type. It never happened because of a little downturn in demand for engineers in the seventies. VP of Patents and Trademarks at USG convinced me then to get some type of degree in Business. I had two years of Calculus to back...

Having lived in Michigan for twenty-seven plus years, we became aware of PFAS in the surrounding water and land towards the later part of the time period. Much of it was due to the closure or abandonment of businesses in and around the area. Some of the lakes nearby were impacted by land runoff from these sites. Warnings were posted about not eating the fish caught from these lakes. Fortunately, our well was not impacted by it. Michigan is number...
