I'm not sure I can add much to the criticism of Bill's perspectives myself and others have already proffered. But today Bill raises the bar on insulting our intelligence once again.

If Trump is Captain Confusion then Bill is Captain Clueless. Inflation came down, gas prices are down, egg prices have dropped, there are foreign and domestic companies making commitments to invest trillions in the United States, and but for a cadre of leftist district judges the American tax payer would be writing paychecks to tens of thousands fewer useless bureaucrats and we'd be deporting a lot more illegals. I'd say that's a pretty good 67 days' work.

"when all these pathetic little tyrants in black robes get overturned on appeal."

They haven't learned from the last 4 years where they tried to pull judicial BS on Trump and seemed to "win" at first - only to be shattered on the shore of Reality when real Prosecutors, Judges and Juries looked at the "charges" and/or "evidence."

Out of all the Witch Hunts they "won", I believe there are only 1 or 2 left standing at this point, and one of them is going to die along with Fanny Willis' career.

But they are too indoctrinated to see what is right in front of them. Whether it's Russia/Russia/Russia, the "Very Fine People Hoax", "Suckers and Losers", or the suits they "won" at first - once Reality sets in and they have LOST once again, they choose to ignore it. So infantile it blows the mind...

But he's a convicted felon! 36 counts. Trust me, I know a felonious person when I see one convicted of all those felonies. There's just so many. I can't keep track of the same crime charged 36 times by a corrupt and conflicted judge. Nah, that won't be overturned. No way. Felon for life, baby! Felonious Trump is Hitler for sure.

You forgot the SARC tag (I think?), but are those the 36 "felonies" that needed the underlying Law to be changed and the Statute of Limitations to be removed before, somehow, a jury from a pool that was 98% dimocrat was able to "find" Trump "guilty?" Are those the "felonies" you are referring to? Yet they continue to bleat about a blatant farce of "justice" - they have nothing but Hate and are a pathetic, deplorable group of people....

Dave -- Trump is not Captain Confusion; he's Captain Chaos.

Bonner described him and his first 67 days perfectly.

Like his first Administration, in this one he'll not only leave us with more debt but -- with Musk and his teenager strike force running amuck, scaring the elderly by disparaging social security and frightening the poor by plans to whack Medicaid -- also more dysfunctional.

He's all Ready-Fire-Aim. Better if he started off by urging more new business creation.

After all, it's this sector that produces the wealth, the jobs and the fresh tax revenue the Federal government disparately needs

Expand full comment
Dave J's avatar

Sigh, so the 3 trillion in business investment commitments from here and abroad doesn't indicate that he's urging more business creation?

Nobody is running amuck except for the Democrat Party politicians. I haven't heard anyone from his administration "disparaging Social Security". Saying it's setup like a Ponzi Scheme is factual. If you've read anything about it you'd know that the Social Security Trustees have been banging the pots and pans for almost 2 decades about it becoming insolvent by the mid-2030's. What Trump and Musk are doing would only forestall that, and depending on the degree of waste, fraud and abuse they find, might even save it from a major overhaul which otherwise will happen as a matter of course due to the way it's currently structured.

It's the same with Medicaid. Why not sit back and watch what actually happens before YOU ready-fire-aim? Show me one Social Security or Medicaid beneficiary that has been harmed as of now, just one. As for leaving us with more debt, that's possible, and you think that would be Trump's fault? A guy that's looking to eliminate departments and useless bureaucrats by the tens of thousands? You do realize that tax cuts have resulted in increased federal tax revenue every time they were implemented going back to Coolidge, right?

Trump isn't going to bring on a panacea, his predecessors f'ed things up too much to address it all in four years regardless of how effective he is. But someone has to start somewhere. It's amazing how many people don't recognize that the federal government is far too large, inefficient, incompetent and corrupt.

Yes Bill, only a few months in office and Trump has been doing everything he possibly can to keep this bankrupt country from failing. “Ninety-three percent of Republicans, 37% of independents and 4% of Democrats approve of Trump’s job performance overall. Republicans also broadly approve of the president’s handling of immigration (92%), foreign affairs (90%), the economy (90%) and foreign trade (89%). Another 80% of Republicans each approve of Trump’s handling of the situations in the Middle East and Ukraine.” The poll shows that 93% of his supporters(Americans🇺🇸) back what he has done and the majority of the opposition, or party of mental illness, disapprove. Life is as it should be, as we know the birds will fly, fish will swim and democrats( who have a historically low 29% positive rating) will continue to be mentally challenged. So please Bill, maybe stick with travel ideas and even consider becoming a travel agent because you are so good at it! Let the Big Boys do what they are good at and hopefully they can figure out how to get us out of this mess and make America Great Again. In the meantime, let’s enjoy this wonderful country and continue to buy the dip in Bitcoin 😊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

“Ninety-three percent of Republicans, 37% of independents and 4% of Democrats approve of Trump’s job performance overall."

These numbers, while encouraging, reveal our two-fold problem:

a) inability of the Democrats (CommieDems, Lefty Libs, and so-called Moderates) to be converted, and b) how long do we/can we maintain this kind of solidarity on our side if, at some point, some high-profile heads do not figuratively roll?

Thank you brother Paul! I’m very positive about the fact that the poll numbers are starting to reflect reality. The 29% in America that support the party of mental illness is the factual evidence that shows the corruption In our voting system and with Trumps new war on it, should guarantee fair elections in our future, which won’t bold well for the insane leftists. The leftists will be making much trouble in these coming months, but as long as we the people are sufficiently armed and educated on what is happening, and have leadership willing to address these most demented people, we have hope. It won’t be pretty, but after the damage Biden/Obama have inflicted on us, the facelift will make America beautiful again 😊

Steve, although the polling is encouraging, what is rarely ever talked about, and concerns me the most, is that the independents and libertarians are never allowed to come to the trough when it comes to election time. The cadre who control this aspect of our society - whoever they are - have given us the two -party system. Unless this can be miraculously changed, along with term limits for all, this titanic will eventually sink. Sad to say, Trump is only slowing the fateful journey down. As to Bill being a negative Nancy about the whole scenario, I will defer to Bills opinions, as well as everyone else’s. We might find a nugget of gold in there somewhere.

Agree Rodney, another reason why I like Trump now, because he reached across the field and brought democrats, libertarians and independents into his team. I was never a Trump fan in my past, as everyone knows, but given the options, we had none. This election I was 100% behind Trump because of the reaction of the globalist/leftist last term and the incredible damage that Biden/Obama/Xi Ping cartel caused, besides the terribly corrupt 2020 elections. If you follow Bills advice, you have plenty of gold nuggets, but missed out on many great investments and are miles behind those who stayed the course or invested in Bitcoin. We are all responsible for our actions and can’t have a negative opinion of BPR because they deal in fear, and like Mr Buffet says, when everyone is afraid and selling, it’s time to be greedy and buy🤔

Bill, do you ever wake up in the mornings with having an "Ah-Ha" moment. Where you finally learned something new, something that you hadn't known or remembered for some time? I find it a bit disheartening for me not to have learned something new, something that I had never thought of before, something learned from someone else's musing, someone's reasoning.

At nearly 89, I recall quite a bit from all those past years of life, but ya know, I'm still learning even among me having negative thoughts of what I hear and see as my life continues on. I always see a silver lining as my mind reflects on my past efforts in life.

Hope and the kind still pushes through as I see God's strength flowing on through all the garbage we have endured though people's greed and fear continuously posturing in our lives.

2. For my entire adult life, Political Compromise has meant acquiescing to the demands & desires of the left. That is NOT compromise in any sense of the word, yet that is what the right has tried selling its supporters for decades. Those days are GONE.

So while what you write would definitely be the preferable course of action, your advice is at least 30 years too late.

Ha! Hahaha!! So we go from "Big Man" to "Captain Confusion." While it is slightly more Creative (just barely), my point above stands.

PS - Trump is doing so much better than Bill's drivel would have you believe that I am going to suggest yet a third nickname - giving The Donald a promotion and better reflecting what's really going on - ladies and gentlemen, say hello to 𝗠𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘂𝘀....

I have to share a comment from my Daughter with everyone, pro or negative Trump, Bonner, Republican, Democrat, independent , or those that just don’t give a flip. Our daughter is 45 years old, happily married with 3 children between the ages of 19 and 26. She is an elementary school teacher and has been for the past ten years. Her husband has a good paying job working for one of the local TV stations as a sales rep. We were together last night and she just randomly said, “Dad, for the first time in a long time I have Hope. I had gotten to the point where I didn’t believe it would get any better for me, my family, and my children. I now have Hope and that makes a lot of difference in my attitude each and every day”. That was encouraging for a Dad to hear. I think most people in America had lost all hope in the future. Is America perfect, is Trump perfect, was Biden/Harris perfect, no, but I think the one ingredient that’s been missing is Hope for the future. With all of Trump’s flaws, he has created some hope for America and the future. When people have Hope, that can overcome a lot of bad decisions. Bill/Dan/Tom, I don’t disagree with your analysis and I take your financial advice seriously, but in the midst of all the doom and gloom, the sun will come up tomorrow. Bill, as you have mentioned, other civilizations and empires have gone to hell in a hand basket, but they survive i.e. Italy, Vietnam, Greece, etc. people are still living life, having families and community, etc. I don’t diminish any of the financial, cultural, or long term issues we face, but in the middle of all that, the everyday person needs Hope for their future and I think for the first time in a long time the average person has that Hope for their lives. I am a long time subscriber and will continue to be a subscriber. Love reading your comments and reports daily. I look forward to the future, come hell or high water. Living life and looking for the next great adventure.

Thank you JK, you and your daughter are an inspiration for hope, much like Trump and his team are. Unfortunately, too many of the corrupt, mentally challenged, self loathing, America hating fellow citizens do their best to destroy all good for our nation and lives. Common sense, logic and law and order are coming back and America will go through some repairing pains, but should come out better than ever🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

We need to find out who is really writing this column. It is not Bill. I couldn't even finish the missive. Bill could be sarcastic, but not this. If we want to talk about getting something done, you have been connecting the dots for 10 years now, and I can only speak for myself, but I am not any better for it. Yeah, I get it. It's the deficit, its Trump, Stay on the Sidelines, buy gold.

Only three explanations for Bonner's columns: dementia, insanity, or advanced TDS. He is truly useless. I only read his columns in order to read the much more intelligent comments on this page.

Or perhaps, all of the above.

Friendly correction: Connecting the so-called dots has been at least a 30-year theme. Best always. PM
