Point of post? Not much. Just a curiosity.
Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.

We are living in the very best of times if wealth and long life are critical considerations.
Going back to the time of Christ, we have a chart that quantifies history in two categories: one is life expectancy and the other is the amount of product sold or bartered. A couple of interesting points: one, the 20th century (the 1900's) saw more economic activity than all the previous centuries combined. The 21st century -- what happened?? Well, it is not half over. Take a pill.
