Congress could easily end the shutdown by coming to an agreement on healthcare subsidies. Other disputes could be readily resolved in the familiar way — in which both sides agree to spend more money.
Arizona's Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva is needed to complete the required signatures for a petition that would trigger a vote on the release of the Epstein files. Her swearing-in has been delayed by House Speaker Mike Johnson, which has led to a lawsuit to compel the process.
Mike Johnson is keeping the house out of session because of the over 1 trillion dollars the Dems senators are trying to add to the bi-partisan house approved bill their request for illegal immigrants health insurance. Has nothing to do with Grijava.
Approving the house bi-partisan approved bill would not only open the gov't but would get her her approved and the Epstein files released.
Epstein Files are just another update on 22 November 1963: to let the truth out would be to allow the scales to fall from the eyes of American citizens. "In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem"(Ronald Reagan 1981). I say, why satisfy ourselves with measly $1-$2 trillion-dollar deficits? I say, ramp up spending; remove all strictures and impediments. Fulfill every monetary desire. Sing "Happy days are here again". Blow it up. Get it over with. This is death by a thousand cuts. And with the resultant crash, we can build a new government from the ground up per the original blueprint, The Constitution. Best always. PM
I enjoy Bill's columns, whether or not I agree with some of what he writes. I enjoy the comment forum and the give-and-take that comes with it. Best always. PM
Bill, you’re putting this shutdown on Mike Johnson?! I think your Democrat derangement syndrome has gotten a lot worse. This is not about working out a compromise on healthcare. It is about the Democrats closing the government because they don’t want to live with the law they voted for. The healthcare they are fighting for died its natural death in accordance with that law and shutting down the government is not the way our system of checks and balances is meant to work.
"Congress could easily end the shutdown by coming to an agreement on healthcare subsidies." Such a Bonner!
How about the Congress could easily end the shutdown by agreeing to the extension, you know, the one Schumer and company has approved and passed 13 times under Biden.
But Bonner being the new TDS form of Bonner must find a way to blame the administration.
Per the Epstein files...how ridiculous. Given the democraps have tossed everything at President Trump, including the kitchen sink, do you not think that if he was implicated they would have released at least the portion of the list showing his atrocities???? They would have filleted him - without even a little doubt.
Your commentaries have become really sad Bill, really sad..... and highly partisan.
Thank God for Tom and Dan else you would have no audience
These guys (Tom and Dan) are apparently heirs apparent, the Aussie argentine-transplant, Joel Bowman, having gone his separate way (sadly so for me). Imagine their personal distress (likely unexpressed) at the Boss (The Big Man! haha) alienating half the revenue base! Still, I enjoy the Bonner missives, whether or not I agree. Bill's premise is still correct: real money is what should be the foundation of both economics and politics. His pathos is what is coming to the fore in old age. I give him a pass on that and overlook it. I comment on the egregious stuff, but my original motivation back in the 90s to join the Bonner circle was I thought he would be able to give me, maybe, a jump on the real-deal crash, not just financial, but the demise of the country. Turns out I didn't need him (Bonner) for that; it's all plain as day; anybody who wants to can see it. Best always. PM
PM, the difference between the left and right is the left traditionally has screamed for free speech as long as you agreed with them, otherwise they do not agree with what you say, then they have no tolerance for your opinion. The right has had a tolerance for free speech but also has the right to disagree. But still allows you to say your piece.
Me, I am no longer a Dem or Reep. I am a, and I encourage others to not be labeled, “a Constitutional Pragmatist “. I prefer to be anchored in an objective document combined with evidence of what works practically, not a head filled with corrupt rationality based in reactive emotional outbursts of the latest minutia of the day. After writing this maybe I am actually a “Macro constitutional pragmatist”?
I get that and support it, but constitutional pragmatism, while the ideal, brings us to the admission that such is a lost cause, for we have neither constitutionalism nor pragmatism. So, despite my frustrations with Repubs, our system is binary, and I choose the Repubs now, every time out, since 1976. Neither is good, but one is closer to good (for me and my way of thinking) than the other. Thank you for your reply. Best always. PM
Yes Paul, Joel was such an amazing part of this team, and I still follow him on his Substack. Love Joel and enjoy his humor and intelligence. I definitely enjoy your thoughts here over Bills and his ghost writer, but stay for the money making tidbits and insights from Dan:) enjoy the weekend 😊
Thank you for your kind words. I'm just another one of us daily grinders trying to get by. The problem, I guess, is that the people who tried to sell me back in the day on the American Way did too good of a job. I took the small government, freedom and liberty thing to heart. Best always. PM
It’s all good brother! The American way is the Only way! We work hard, love harder. Raise our families, enjoy our friends, love God and support our country🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 It’s the American way! Not the insanity of the fatherless, godless, brainless, lifeless left….
if he truly was a king, you would be dead for your post as well as those who are freely protesting No Kings, btw, President Trump and us deplorables agree with their protest, we don't want a king taking away the Presidents job.
Yes Jimm, without castigation or insults. Just facts. If President Trump is a KING, then the democrat party is now the Court jesters of today. Also known as fools or buffoons, these current mental cases were considered entertainers in royal courts during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Their primary role was to amuse KINGS and their guests through various forms of entertainment, including jokes, music, and juggling, or as today with Football, Basketball, MSNBC, CNN, Hollywood and Democrat politicians. Jesters often wore colorful clothing called motley, which included a distinctive three-pointed hat adorned with bells.
Roles and Responsibilities
Types of Jesters
Natural Fool: Often someone with a physical or mental disability, perceived as amusing due to their behavior, or Joe Biden.
Licensed Fool: A skilled performer who entertained through comedy, satire, and storytelling. They had the freedom to mock nobility and provide candid advice, or most democrats.
Duties include…
Entertaining at royal feasts and events.
Performing household tasks when not entertaining.
Serving as messengers during wartime, which could be dangerous.🤔
Boosting morale among troops before battles through songs and jokes.🤔
Historical Significance
Jesters played a unique role in society, often acting as advisors for the democrats and critics of America and the courts. They could speak fake truths that others could not, using humor and lies to address political and social issues. Notable jesters include Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and all democrats who served King Obama.
The tradition of jesters continues today, with some modern performers adopting the role in historical reenactments and entertainment. Another words, the entire democratic cult of mental illness. Jesters remain a symbol of humor, but unfortunately, have become severely mentally damaged due to TDS, ignorance and hatred for their real or imagined 🤴
I agree that the Democrats generally promote policies that made us dependent on government largesse but I disagree that calling them names is a productive response.
Better the small government; fiscally responsible advocates, of which I am one,
explain why these twin goals are better than their opposites.
My take: every president in this century has been bad; the current one especially
Because it likely involved minors. That still is a big deal to some people not to mention more proof that our greatest "ally" is blackmailing our elites.
evilest man in history killed 200 million chinese, 2nd vilest killed 100 million Russians, 3rd was hitler whose numbers evade me. Trump isn't even int h running - talk about TDS!
Isn't it a problem that there has never been an investigation into the Epstein blackmail operation? It would be nice to know who are the politicians that have been compromised by their visits to Epstein Island and most of all who was behind the operation.
What does anyone expect to learn other than some of these wealthy popular important privileged distinguished consequential learned celebrated men are no more reserved than a pubescent teenager with pimples...
-
I don't think it's a mystery as to who was behind the operation...
Hi Bill, I used to read you missives with anticipation and enjoyment. I have enjoyed your insights and humor, and even share your humor with my wife. But recently you seem to waste your words on subtle and disguised angey screeds. It is quite obvious to me that you are fed up with all of American government and particularly the "Big Man". I think the president, while far from perfect, after all he is just a man, is doing a very good job given the dearth of tools in his tool box and a legacy media which goes out of their way to distort and disparage his words , deeds and accomplishments. Bill, I find myself reading half or maybe two-thirds of your daily missives, and I find myself in such disagreement with your thoughts that it saddens and disappoints me. Maybe, just maybe you are getting a little long in the tooth for this venue? Being 80 years of age I understand the disappointment and negativity that can accompany age.
Tom, you are correct to label our King "far from perfect." He's a convicted felon, philanderer, documented liar, found guilty of sexual assault, now exploiting his office for personal gain who recently bulldozed part of the White House with no prior consultation with the America people. He was impeached several times when he was last in office; I wonder if the mid-term elections will tilt the tables enough to get him impeached anew.
Perhaps not "Devine Right", but you might want to do a refresher on Natural Law. Your boys Bush, Obama and Clinton certainly didn't understand it, or our Constitution.
Well Jimm, he is well within his peer group in the government. Not sure if the truth be known that many would measure right up there with Trump's credentials.
I’m confused, maybe you could help. The Republicans have voted I believe a dozen times to reopen the government and the Dems are voting no. How can anyone conclude that the republicans are keeping the government closed because of the Epstein Files?
Has someone hijacked this newsletter or has Bill gone "completely around the bend?"
This letter is an absurdity. A naked attempt to foster an entirely new rumor that purports to tie the government shutdown to the Epstein files and then stumps for democrats being allowed to support illegal aliens with citizen health benefits - a tacit encouragement for even more obscene levels of government money-printing debt.
Is there a doctor in the house? Preferably, a Neurologist.
US citizens are such cowed imbeciles that even with the release of Epstein files and the most egregious proof of treason against them by their rulers, they will manage to ignore or rationalise it to themselves and go on as before… US people have a slave mentality now.
Another column by Bongo Bill about stuff we already know expertly mixed in with his delusional anti-Trump TDS fantasies that he hopes will finally put the nail in POTUS' coffin. It is his fondest wish as he goes to bed every night dreaming that this last accusation will finally do Trump in. But then, what will Bongo write about? Maybe some real stuff? That would be interesting.
One thing I have noticed.....that I can't tell that the government is shut down. I could go on for years like this. Are we figuring out who is actually non essential on the FED payroll? I really would like to see Concgress's pay get cut. We are stupid. We pay them in spite of the lousy job they do.
David Stockman had a great article on Obama health care subsidies. The average American pays 8% of income, Obama care 4%.
My health care costs: Medicare and Government employee, $1200. A month or 50% of AGI which does not include SS.
Seems those out of power want to release Epstein Files, those in power no. It has been argued that Epstein committed no crime, but the woman is still in prison. Democrats had four years; during those years Bill ignored the issue.
We all know it was an Israel Masad sting, CIA. The same base of power used by J Edger Hoover
Brother Xave, If what you write is true, then the Epstein scandal has the same source as 22 November 1963: rogue bureaucratic elements within the government. The Dulles Brothers, but primarily Allen and less John, orchestrated 11/22/63 and J. Edgar Hoover provided both access and cover. I'm leaving out Mossad, because I am essentially ignorant of their history and influence in American politics. I know enough of USA perfidy to come to conclusions without considering the potential Mossad side. Best always. PM
You know me: I believe that the less government, the better. I think people are capable of finding a way together without the top-down, one-size-fits-all approach of government. These guys can't be the destructoes they are, if they aren't in power in the first place. Best always. PM
They'll never find a way to spend less money. But if they do, which would most likely be a mistake, they'll just find a way to increase another line item in the budget. And they'll do it by more than what the "reduction" was.
Mike Johnson is not keeping the house out of session because of the Epstein files. To imply so is ridiculous and misleading.
Arizona's Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva is needed to complete the required signatures for a petition that would trigger a vote on the release of the Epstein files. Her swearing-in has been delayed by House Speaker Mike Johnson, which has led to a lawsuit to compel the process.
What is untrue about this statement?
Why has Speaker Johnson delayed her swearing in?
Mike Johnson is keeping the house out of session because of the over 1 trillion dollars the Dems senators are trying to add to the bi-partisan house approved bill their request for illegal immigrants health insurance. Has nothing to do with Grijava.
Approving the house bi-partisan approved bill would not only open the gov't but would get her her approved and the Epstein files released.
Why?
Per Mike Johnson
Ridiculous and misleading . . . a succinct summation of the auto-pen that has become Bill Bonner's musings.
Epstein Files are just another update on 22 November 1963: to let the truth out would be to allow the scales to fall from the eyes of American citizens. "In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem"(Ronald Reagan 1981). I say, why satisfy ourselves with measly $1-$2 trillion-dollar deficits?

And with the resultant crash, we can build a new government from the ground up per the original blueprint, The Constitution. Best always. PM
I agree . let it fall . There will be turmoil world wide, but We will live to see another day. Well I hope so, to see another day .
I'm still baffled by why so many comments are from people who really hate what Bill writes.
Why do they keep reading his messages?
I enjoy Bill's columns, whether or not I agree with some of what he writes. I enjoy the comment forum and the give-and-take that comes with it. Best always. PM
So we can have a voice on this platform. We pay for it right?
To hear Tom and Dan’s insights… Bill’s a great writer, too bad he gets his “news” from mainstream sources.
It’s not about hating anything. It’s a free exchange of ideas in a respectful manner. We don’t have to agree with everything to appreciate one another
Jerry, damn good question…..
If we all think the same thing, then none of us are thinking. (Forget who said that first)
Entertainment?
Bill, you’re putting this shutdown on Mike Johnson?! I think your Democrat derangement syndrome has gotten a lot worse. This is not about working out a compromise on healthcare.

The truth is that no system works in perpetuity. We like hiding behind that fact, evidently. Best always. PM
You’re right about that. No system works forever because they are run by men.
The democrats did not vote for the big ugly bill….they did not vote for the rescissions….
"Congress could easily end the shutdown by coming to an agreement on healthcare subsidies." Such a Bonner!

Oh! You mean names like, Facist, Nazi, KING?
Not sure why some folks think of the Epstein papers as the ultimatum of Presidential employ.
What will happen if it were revealed that Trump indeed had an encounter(s) connected to Epstein.
Will Trump be impeached?
Terminated?
Why?
Clinton and RFK did as much... likely others too...
The President should be held accountable for his performance as POTUS, not the speculative acts perceived...
Because it likely involved minors. That still is a big deal to some people not to mention more proof that our greatest "ally" is blackmailing our elites.
...whether it did happen or not, and whether it included minors is irrelevant to the Administrations performance.
(IMO the girls at age 17 knew what they were doing).
I agree to your point of blackmail.
But the blackmail only works if your line in the sand is whatever trysts may have occurred.
Perhaps now that Biden is out, the Democrats have nothing to lose by disclosing the sins of their party along with the Republicans.
The TDS inflicted already vying for the death of the evilest man in history, Trump.
They can't hate him to any degree more...
evilest man in history killed 200 million chinese, 2nd vilest killed 100 million Russians, 3rd was hitler whose numbers evade me. Trump isn't even int h running - talk about TDS!
I congratulate you for most folks have no idea Mao was by far the most successful tyrant, not only by dead count but he lived to age 82.

Perhaps you missed my point, it is those inflicted with TDS that think Trump the worst tyrant...
apologies - i misread it as Trump is the evilest; hey, maybe it might do some good and sink into Bonner....... nah, no chance!

The king would just kill them.
