We see today the Biden has reintroduced his Student Loan Forgiveness scheme, scaling back his SCOTUS killed plan by roughly 95%. But they never give up, and they know from long history that all they have to do is get the camel’s nose inside the tent. The $800 Billion camel will soon enough march right on in. Never mind that the tent comes down. Now that seems to be a feature not a bug.

Unbelievable- the American public has no scruples left at all. Soon they will use this angle to support free education for anyone who wants it and the Bernie Sanders of the world will have won their battle. Next up, 200k / year jobs with no education required.

Wow - that sounds intimidating to say the least and yes, AI can be leveraged to extract all sort of human traits from a person. They could use the recorded interview to examine your voice and detect nervousness, lying, faking and so forth. They could evenn use AI to build an interactive scenario with your voice to see how you might react in certain situations. I am so glad I am on the tail end of life and now able to avoid the ever increasing social engineering exploitations.which younger folks are facing. I'm not the least bit jealous. I first worked on voice recognition 40 years ago and yes, it has taken that long to perfext. The new AI models are able to use text, numbers, pictures, recordings, videos etc to learn heuristically. A real game changer. Be careful out there. I wish AI could help me catch bigger trout, but they are still pretty smart.

Correct! Biden needs to look good and carry on the tradition of the Democratic Party: "Take from the middle class and give it to the poor" equals Biden's reelection.

Aristotle predicted it when he named demo-cratiea, rule by neighorhood, "the perversion" of popularly elected government.

Democracy = decriminalized civil war.

Where do we go - and what can we do - to avoid the bloodshed and help those we love do the same? My best friend wants to stay put in a suburb of Portland, OR, near family, with his beautiful home, some cash reserves and investments, "homeless" tents on streets and highways all around, and no food security at all.

Lift where you stand, I guess. Take what comes and love it.

Is it too early or too late to ponder where do we go - and what can we do - to avoid the bloodshed and help those we love do the same?

I believe in the truth and promise God gives us of his kingdom to come. The Bible foretells and provides the answers you are looking for. Look up Matthew 24:7,8 "Many false prophets will arise and mislead many; and because of the increasing of lawlessness, the love of the greater number will go cold."

I encourage you to open JW.org and in the Teaching Toolbox is a video called Why Study the Bible? It's only 3:34 minutes long. It is never too late to help yourself and those you love to weather the increase in suffering that Satan has already set in motion.

"Since then, both Democrat and Republican parties have been taken over by a new breed of politician. In public, the two parties rage against each other. But, on the important matters— carrots and sticks – they are more solidly united than ever. As to both, they want more. "

Bullseye Mr. Bill.

If only more Americans would take off the jersey and realize this reality...

Ms. Raimondo must have talking to G.W. Bush. He too was under the illusion the everyone in America should be allowed to own a home. We know how well that turned out. Not all companies have the need or the desire to create their own raw materials be it phone chips or chips from potatoes . That’s what supply chains are for. Nor will it make a company smarter or more competitive trying to create their own vertical market by borrowing. Ask any of the big 3 car companies. If the US were so smart and savvy we’d have created our own TSMC 50 years ago. Why, the answer is simple - it’ was cheaper to buy them in Taiwan . In the end its always about the bottom line.

As long as We the People are under the Federal Reserve system, we will always have politicians willing to do anything to get more for themselves instead of each one of us. Our whole system is run on a debt basis. Look it up (See The creature of Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin)!

We need to start to take back our country at the local level, school board, clerk & recorder, caucus member or anything that will make that little difference in our community and work towards bigger goals.

I am personal friends with a State Senator who goes to my church, and he told me that there was 600+ pieces of legislation brought to the floor in the last year...600! This is a group of well-organized and payed off people who are working for a Leftist agenda to make us all their slaves, truly. They use LGB..., racism, and every other thing they accuse good people of being is what THEY are at their core. It is all a distraction from their main agenda which is Socialism which leads to Communism. It's a great way to go until you run out of other people's money. Look in the mirror and if you aren't rich, you are their target middle class American.

Moses didn't start until he was 80 so "Come on Man!", get off your Baby Boomer butts and let's show these kids how we fought back in the day...today! We are smarter than they are, there are many more of us and we are better armed. That is truly the only thing they are concerned about, armed America, or they would have taken over by now.

Do not let them win on your street, in your kids' school, in your county, in your State and we can all celebrate when We the People win, not until then, it is a war for the very soul of this America which was founded on Biblical principles. Pray to the One True King for us all.

Blessings

Yes, but Moses listened to God. How many of us are truly doing that? Moses was also raised to be a ruler of Egypt, he was very educated. He had to be re-educated by God by tending sheep for 40 years. Still up for that?

Hello Alex. No, but neither was Moses ready, but I have been more deeply dedicated to the Word of God since the Vid made us all home bound and it is not I, but Him working through me. There are always excuses, look for answers and allow yourself to be immersed in Him and he WILL show up in your life. It is the small steps that are the start to great things and if we are truly in His will, it is all His glory Blessings.

Moses may be the best possible example. He did not rally the Israelites to rebellion. They had nothing, certainly not unity. Perhaps the majority of them were, however, calling upon God Almighty for deliverance - as they showed up every morning to stomp more straw into the mud and take abuse by their "elite."

That, I'm afraid, is the only realistic chance for freedom in our lifetime.

We are not like 1776, not at all, and by all accounts I have read even the American Revolution was a miracle.

I'm convinced that it's a miracle we need today, or the American Dream ceases to be in our lifetime. Calling upon a power far above our own is the only chance we have on the national or even community levels - and I am confident that it will be extremely valuable on the community level.

God has promised there will be an outpouring of the Holy Spirit before the end and He always keeps His promises. I have been blessed, and terrified, to be part of what many would call miracles. I just see it as God being God.

I was a Navy Aircrew man and in 1980 my high school sweetheart broke up with me after four years together and first love is hard when you start at 16. I had the night flight line watch from midnight to 6am which basically was walking the outside area where we parked our planes close to the runway. I was trying to drown my sorrow with LOTS of booze but that night I felt I couldn't live with the pain anymore. I decided to run into the propeller of a taxying airplane. I stood up and was about to start running when I felt two giant hands on my shoulders push me back down to where I was sitting. It had to be guardian angels because the only thing that went through my mind was, "I don't care how hard your life is, as long as you have the ability to bring one more person into My Kingdom it will be worth it". I turned my life around 180 degrees. It still blows my mind feeling invisible hands which started at my mid chest and wrapped around my shoulders gently pushing me back down.

I have many more tales about God intervening in my life in similar ways, but most people think I'm nuts. I have a 140 IQ, I have taught science at the University level, been a car Dealer, Bonded Insurance Agent, Realtor, stay at home foster dad, Public Presenter for a Pharmaceutical company lecturing a room full of 350 MD's, worked numerous roles in construction and had the leader of the L.A. Chapter of the Hells Angels trying to get me to join the club...and much more.

I believed at the age of three that there had to be a God and my mother taught us five kids it was the God of the Bible. I just believed and held Him to what His book said, and He always shows up for me because of that belief. He wants our hearts and unconditional belief and if we give Him that He is always faithful.

Happy to tell you about more "miracles" but He is my Father, and I am the Child of The One True King. Seek Him with all your being and fight the one who goes around "like" a roaring lion. People no longer believe in satan, who is just as real as God, and they allow darkness into their lives in many forms, dream catchers, movies about vampires, walking dead and witchcraft, profanity, wicked thoughts they let take hold of their mind...See GTEN 8:22 and learn about "Seedtime". "As you sow, so shall you reap", every word that comes out of our mouths holds power. What are you planting in eternity? I am no saint, and I am not preaching from on high. I am a sinner and a Believer and know Him and His truth. Until casual "christians" become hardcore Believers this world will never be subdued by His children as it was meant to be. Rise up in belief! Live to serve others, fathers love your wife and let her feel it, raise your children to fear (revere) God and give Him all the Glory always. Live II Chronicles 7:14

Blessings.

PS: I am also a Minister.

The majority were calling on pharoah for deliverance, when it was pharoah that increased their burdens. They were unable to think clearly.

We do need a miracle, and should all call on a power far above our own. Remember, though, there are TWO of those powers!

$27 trillion dispensed on ‘carrots’ in the US alone in just over 20 years. Who funds these giveaways?

A quick search on google reveals that total US debt is currently around $34 trillion - of which roughly $7 trillion is owed by the Fed, $7 trillion by foreign governments and $20 trillion by the public by way of social security and pension funds.

So my reading of the situation is that the $7 trillion from the Fed is pure and unadulterated inflation working its way through the system as it should. Which as Bill states is simply a transfer of wealth from savers to takers.

The $7 trillion from foreign governments represents the taxes they collected from their citizens to lend to the US government only for the US to produce ‘big sticks’ to wave back in their face.

And, the $20 trillion from social security and pensions funds went from those who have worked, paid taxes and saved to those who did neither. Less of course those who were paid from taxes in the first place… like politicians.

But, at some ‘point’ however: inflation will run out of control unless checked; foreigners will fund, then build big sticks of their own; social security and pension recipients will want their money back … and the game comes to an end… self evidently… even to the brain dead.

Social security is not a retirement plan, and there is no "lockbox." Social security (FICA) is a tax, and has always been a tax, and CONgress has to appropriate the welfare payments every year. The money comes from people who are still working. If you don't believe me, all this can be easily verified on the interwebs.

Bill, is RFK, Jr “kooky” when he says when he’s president he’s going to get Congress together and come up with a plan to pay off all student loans? You ok with that?

I liked RFK, Jr initially, thought he might be a viable option. But every time he opens his mouth lately, it becomes evident that at heart, his solutions are just standard Washington, and won’t do a thing to stop the insanity. But Bill, sounds like he’s your guy, that you’re good with it all.
