The Lonely Realist is a bridge across the partisan gap, raising questions and making pointed observations about politics, economics, international relations and the markets.

“Health in America, like almost everything else, has become politicized.” Instead of being a “United” States of the vaccinated and COVID-recovered, America is suffering through a new wave of infections, hospitalizations and deaths. Importantly, although COVID-19’s Delta variant is increasingly disrupting Blue States, it is aggressively rampaging through Red States where residents inexplicably reject the success of President Trump’s Operation Warp Speed vaccination initiative.
