I’d love to see the script. The plan. The grand strategy. The masterstroke that will finally erase the IRS from existence.
Dan Denning seemed to have mapped out a potential playbook last week (link below), and on paper, it had a certain ruthless elegance. But if this is the plan being executed, then it looks less like a surgical operation and more like someone testing spaghetti doneness—by launching the entire pot at the ceiling.
And now everyone’s dodging not just the noodles, but also the boiling water, the saucepan, and possibly the kitchen sink.
Look, I don’t live in the U.S., so I don’t have a personal stake in whether the IRS gets axed. But as an outsider, I was expecting a deliberate dismantling, not a full-speed, no-brakes demolition derby where half the participants don’t even realize the race has started. If there is a carefully thought-out plan, it’s currently hiding somewhere under the wreckage.
Don’t get me wrong—watching a government agency implode is fascinating. But at this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if the next step involves appointing a sentient AI chatbot as the new head of tax enforcement (and honestly, that might be the most competent bureaucrat involved).
Tariffs & taxes on liquor & sin taxes which was sufficient when our country was formed. That dam Wilson got a temporary income tax in 1913 & Congress made them permanent in the 1920’s bc they got hooked on spending all that FREE $$$ on their preferred projects. Since then the income tax % has continued to increase!
When you add property taxes + state income tax & federal income tax plus the many other government hidden taxes (fees) most Americans pay over 50% of their earned income to our governments‼️😮
Put 3% on ALL Online Bets when they are placed, 5% on ALL Online Gambling Winnings when they are collected and 7% on ALL cash remittances to a foreign Country --
Tariffs and sin taxes on liquor might’ve worked back in the day, but good luck funding today’s mess with a few extra bar tabs. Wilson’s 1913 “temporary” income tax—locked in during the ’20s—got Congress hooked on that sweet cash. You’re spot-on: federal income tax, state taxes, property taxes, and hidden fees mean most Americans hand over 50% of their pay. But replacing that $3T+ with your nostalgia plan?
Lets see:
$1.7T in Social Security - take this away, and you're going to have a new season, gratis, of the Walking Dead on your hands. That $1.7T loops right back into the economy in the form of C or Consumption in the GDP calculation. Take it out and the ripple effects will be enormous (Good luck w this one - No savings).
$950B in Medicare for seniors - maybe if you can get everyone to do 10,000 steps or more a day, you wouldn't need all that healthcare - but you might want to get the pres and el Musk on board first. (Savings of $950B - most of these people wouldn't even know where to go to complain. You should be good.)
$650B in Medicaid - you know. For the ones who live in poverty. Yeah those folks. The forgotten ones. Drop this, and you'll have them all coming to the White House or Capital Hill. To cough on all the politicians. Riots. Chaos. On second thought.(Savings of $650B).
$895B - National Defense - with no more NATO funding and the US apparently closing all of its 750 bases around the world, and bringing the boys and girls home, you should save a pile of cash. Only to be chewed up in the first year by unemployment cheques, after you fire the majority of the 1M plus military. Unless of course, you have your sights set on Canada, Greenland, Panama and Mexico and beyond. (No savings. All monies go to Unemployment payouts, foreign coups and Defense Industry bailouts).
$750B - Interest on the debt. That ones kinda tough. If you drop interest rates to 0%, there is no interest on the debt. Just a looming $36T credit card statement with no expiry. Problem is, your dollar will go to shit, and inflation will sky rocket. You currently already need a wheelbarrow of cash to buy that shiny new Tesla. After that move, the only thing you'll get for that wheelbarrow of cash, will be a loaf of bread. Everyone will dump your Treasury papers along with their last night's meal on their next visit to the toilet. What to do? I know you'll do the right thing. (Save $750B by dropping interest rates to 0%.)
$320B - Veterans benefits and services - don't piss these guys off. Otherwise I know who'll be leading the charge onto capital hill. And they won't be waiting until January either. (No Savings. No pay? Instant civil war which would cost more than $320B).
$315B - "Other" discretionary spending - you know - stupid stuff like education, transportation and housing. (Saved $315B)
$200B - More retirement money - for federal employees and military personnel. I'll give you this one. These clowns don't need it. They've made their cash in insider information. Save for the military. They're the last to know anything. (Saved $200B)
$120B - Highways, airports and transit system - save on ATC personnel and just install traffic lights at all airports. Coulda used one last week in Chicago when that private jet didn't look both ways and decided it was time to go. A set of lights, and he won't have to think next time. As for highways and transit, over-rated! (Saved $120B)
That is still $3T you need to come up with. Liquor and Betting taxes won't do it alone. Fair tax of 10% would give you $2T. Fair tax of 15% would give you $3T.
But your bigger problem?
Trying not to get the close to 1.5M workers you put out of work by firing their asses from the federal government, not to burn the whole thing down, as their lives go to shit.
Couldnt agree more. I have a friend who is a financial wealth advisor and informed me of an elderly couple retiring from the business passing down the farming industry to their kids as had been done for several generations. Deciding to travel the world for a stint only to learn in a meeting that was called by my friend and his partner to break the news. My friend said to me, you should have seen their faces when we told the clients that passing down the business and all proprety was going to trigger a capital gains tax as if they sold it !.
That changed everything for that family. Trudeau: "well hey, you can sell the land and your kids will not have to worry about the several million in capital gains aside from the fact they know the land and the business. enjoy ".
It’s sound alike a ploy. The same reason many large ranches throughout the western US have been forced to sell to the Nature Conservancy. This has been going on for at least 30 years.
Yep. We found out about the "Alternative Minimum Tax" when we sold our business last year. Brutal.
What sane person would want to start a business in Canada these days, with the number of penalties the government puts on a business owner for all those years of love and hard work. In the form of exit taxes.
Read up on “The Fair Tax”, and the supplement that addresses all the concerns of those so afraid to abolish the IRS. Bottom line: the federal tax coffers would explode.
Tariffs, Usage Tax, Sell/Lease Federal Assets (Buildings and Land), Increased Energy Production and associated taxes - do you want me to keep going, Ol' Man?
Our government really does not have a balanced budget, especially when the unfunded liabilities are included.
Our government (Congress) basically has a spending problem by trying to buy favors from most everyone including other countries! They solve their SPENDING PROBLEMS by PRINTING MORE MONEY; hence, outrageous debt! When is it ever going to end?
DOGE will delete some stupid spending & excessive overhead but they are “saving” Billions and our debt is in the Trillions!
Get rid of this stupid 10 year budget and then budget & spend for ONLY THE COMING YEAR!
Without pain nothing will change. We are and will be for awhile in a recession. Im all for giving this admn a chance to turn a 40 trillion disaster around. Trump has recruited an outstanding team and they deserve their 4 year opportunity.
Bob, fully agree. Change is coming - one way or the other - and it is going to be painful. If Harris had won, it would be swifter and more destructive in my opinion. An inflationary depression is starting. The Administration needs to focus back on the U.S. and get out of all the foreign entanglements as Eiserhower lamented. Cut the Defense Budget by 70%. Unfortunately - chances of that happening is zero. Human nature doesn't change and it isn't going to change this time. Hang on tight.......and stack some PMs.
Mr. LSO, Cutting the Defense budget by 70% would be a great thing, but it would result in seven-to-ten million jobs in the private sector disappearing, causing a job-loss contagion overall, leading to a stock market collapse and a depression. Eventually this would turn around and be a plus for the U.S. But during the TRANSITION PERIOD there would be massive marches on DC (from suburbanites, not the urban poor), and the GOP would be wiped out, leading to far-left radicals taking over the federal govt. Most Americans are much too hooked on the greatest drug of all, and this is the debt drug. The debt-for-jobs binge has gotten so out of control during the 21st Century that it can only be reversed GRADUALLY. The problem I see is that even if it's done gradually, the economy will probably collapse before the problem can be reversed. But maybe the collapse will not be so dire if a gradual approach is tried.
Some of my friends hope for a collapse, believing that Texas and Florida will then lead the South and the Farm Belt to secede from the U.S., possibly taking the rest of the Midwest and some of the Rocky Mountain West with them. In their opinion, the third-world coasts can then rot. I'm not certain how the Globalist Elite would react to this because the guns and the military are from the center of the U.S., not the coasts. So this might be why the Globalist Elite are supporting Trump for now. They never want to see new independent countries. They want to consolidate countries. Look at the $350B poured into Ukraine from the U.S. & W. Europe so tiny Donbas won't break away. So I worry what a collapse would cause. A huge unknown.
Those who can’t, become democrats, and tonight’s despicable show of their ignorance and contempt for America proves this fact. It’s cringe worthy watching the demented democrats tonight, sitting with their disgusting grins during one of the greatest speeches ever from any president. It looked like a shot out of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest” with all the sad inmates whining about exceptional leadership. TDS, like liberalism is definitely a mental disorder 🤪
Ha! Public School in '70s-'80s FLA followed by the second best small University and best Business School in the state (Stetson), a stint in the US Army then Florida National Guard, a lifetime spent working my ass off under the hot Florida sun building a business, providing jobs and objective value to my customers, tons of sweet lovin' from multiple amazing ladies and the solid companionship of many faithful dogs and several subjectively indifferent cats. Oh, I also lived in the Cayman Islands for 10 years pursuing my career in Tropical Horticulture. Learned a LOT and had an absolute BLAST!
But the most important earthly thing, BY FAR, was my mom marrying a WWII Veteran when I was 8 years old. He raised me as a true Father should and I'd be just about nowhere today without him. RIP, Daddy-O.
Well, SE, your life’s quite the Florida tale—public school, Stetson, Army days, and building a business under that relentless sun. That Cayman horticulture chapter sounds like a dream worth chasing. I’d bet your dad’s looking down with quiet pride every time he sees you. RIP, Daddy-O.
Me, I kicked off with ‘60s and ‘70s public school years, then drove a cab—long nights, good stories—while at Red River Community College, the best trades spot around. Spent 12 years with the feds, then started an IT company with friends. Bought them out and ran it with my wonderful wife, a stellar crew, and amazing clients for 25 years. Raised two great kids in the mix. We traveled plenty—North and South America, Europe—stacking up memories I wouldn’t trade. Last year, we sold the house and business, moved to an apartment, and now I’m soaking up freedom. Writing, reading, digging into research—trying to fly under my wife’s radar, since she’s always got a “productive” plan for my day. It’s a chapter I never saw coming.
Two anchors kept me steady. My mom—Dad passed early, leaving her with me and my sister, at 11 and 9—dug in with a strength that still floors me. “Work hard, keep it honest,” she’d say, and she lived it. Friends, neighbors, church folks, scouts, and a stack of books helped us along—those authors shaped me more than they’ll know.
Then there’s my wife, my other anchor for the last 35 years. She pushed me to finish trade school when I wanted to quit, backed me when I left a safe job to start the business, and said “let’s buy the partners out” when we could’ve sold early. Today’s possible because she believed in me. For that, I’m truly grateful.
Sadly, I'm kinda right there with you Lucas. I've known Pam Bondi a long time here in FLA. She's not a very good liar - and it shows. We are seeing Epstein's customer base exerting their considerable influence in more conniving and dangerous ways than heretofore - it's actually a bit scary for us thinking commoners to realize how much unadulterated control some of the worst people in the world actually have available to use as they see fit.
As I mentioned before, March 2025 is a PIVOTAL month:
1. It gives enough time for the investigations of the cornucopia of corrupt, low-hanging fruit to be wrapping up - so we should see perp walks and handcuffs by April Fool's day. Should be and Righteously by the dozens.
2. Mid-month is Showdown Time regarding if our near-worthless "Representatives" are actually concerned about the lethal Debt problem and if they are smart enough to acknowledge the output coming from DOGE and begin cutting off the faucet that is feeding all the Theft and Fraud. I'm not at all hopeful.
3. March will show us if the EU is really as stupid as they appear to be. Will they insist on trying to continue a losing battle just because of their hatred and fear of Putin? This month will tell, though we will likely NEVER know the real reasons behind their blood-filled insanity when it comes to UK/RU.
Thank GOD we have Trump at least paying lip service to the right side of these issues - lip service that is based on Logic, Critical Thinking and Reality. This month will show us if Salvation as a Nation is actually feasible without violence and bloodshed -- or it will show we have been, 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻, sold a mirage...
At least Trump is taking some action rather than just spending money we don't have and doing nothing but maintaining power. Seems some old farts are caught up in doing nothing except complaining, like Bill. Is he insane? Of course Trump's ideas might fail but he is on the right course of reducing corruption and government. Reducing corruption can't be a bad direction. Bill sounds like a elite complainer to me and I'm tired of the elites and their stupidity.
Sadly, Bill nailed it today. Not sad that Bill is right, but sad because Bill is right - if ya know what I mean...
PS - Those "nickels under the cushions" will start to add up - but even better, finding and collecting them denies their use by criminals and enemies for things that harm and/or denigrate our Country and the world...
It is my personal belief that US citizens have been exposed to a covert civil war by segments of the government and others since 2008. They are influenced by the coordinated actions of WEF, which I watch closely for indications of their desired deconstruction in this country. If the US is reduced to the common status of the EU there is no example for other nations to aspire to. Global control can then be assured through economic control. China uses Belt and Road. WEF uses climate control manipulation.
Official language for a state is not acceptable for Mr Bonner.
And he even finds an example which seems to contradict.
Just move your eyes a little northwest, e.g. to Belgium. Two languages and a ongoing feud and division even in that tiny country.
We speak five languages. How dare we? Well maybe on the background that so many countries in the world regard their language as constitutive to their nation?
And DOGE' s identified billions of fraud are nickels? Why haven't I seen Mr B on the Forbes list? Too rich like Rothschild's, who never appeared on such lists?
One official language for all legal documents, contracts, voting, traffic signs, driver license tests, public schools, government correspondence, etc. is the practical way to run a government. The private sector including business, places of worship, organizations, communication of all types including verbal, written, newsprint, books, digital, interpersonal, etc., the language used should be at the complete discretion of the participants.
Yup. I'd highlight "public" schools in the first part of your list. The explosion of illegal brats in our national "education" system has resulted in YUGE amounts of money spent on duplicate learning materials in multiple languages, numerous "aides" in the classroom to interpret all verbal teaching for "students" who shouldn't be there in the first place and the creation of a busy, confused environment that is NOT conducive to Learning for the deserving, native kids whose parents provide the majority of funding for the circus...
Making English the official language in the U.S. would definitely save money. Up here in Canada, everything must be written and translated into two official languages. That’s great for Quebec and the small number of French speakers west of it, but for the rest of us, it’s just an economic drain.
The government is required to have French-speaking staff nationwide—not just where French speakers actually live, but anywhere they choose to engage with the government. That adds unnecessary costs.
It also creates barriers for businesses. Some manufacturers avoid Canada entirely because of the hassle and expense of redoing packaging just to comply with language laws.
On a global scale, language dominance is shifting. In the end, it will likely come down to Chinese vs. English vs. Hindi—the three most widely spoken languages. Which one wins will depend on who wins the final battle.
Especially if psychopathic leaders are left to decide the outcome.
"it will likely come down to Chinese vs. English vs. Hindi—the three most widely spoken languages. "
Don't forget all those around the world that speak Stupid as their primary language. It appears they are a sizeable minority, over-represented in the U.S. and E.U....
That's a given "second" language for all of humanity. I'm talking about the language where people actually communicate and accomplish incredible things for all of mankind, vs. simply going "stupid" on each other.
Bill is clearly out from under the effects of anaesthesia and back to his "enlightened" self, while his subconscious bangs to get out of its cage. Best always. PM
P.S. It's a gesture more than anything, designed to set a tone. Executive orders are not laws; they are policy directives for the government, which, judging by governmental activity (transfer payments) equal to 40% of total GDP, can't be blithely dismissed. PM
Hmmm......following the path of all presidents since at least Jimmy Carter. They set the tone they are told by the Deep State run by the Jewish Lobby. Hasn't changed - they all do stupid stuff from us peons perspective but not theirs. Why? you asked - simply they get wealthy.
Nixon got sand bagged to agree to take the U.S. dollar off the gold standard temporarily, then resigned and the bankers never pushed for a gold standard return. Just like interest rates for banks were capped at 12% until the Carter High Inflation, the banks that cap lifted without a sunset clause and now live with Mob interest rates of up to 26% on credit cards. Pure ROBBERY‼️
Agreed, but at some point (different for each Lizard), the money has to not matter as much. What takes its place as the Motivating Factor(s)? For Bill, a big driver appears to be embracing the opportunity to disparage his enemies on-the-daily.
I don't know specifically, but I can surmise that few, if any, of those alternate reasons can or will result in anything beneficial to the rest of us nor our Society...
I think Bill just hates all politicians. And doesn't miss the opportunity to disparage a single one of them as clowns, when they act the part. This has become his M.O. since, like, forever.
Today's theme was a surprise to me, as he sidestepped the Ukraine debacle on Friday and the Epstein papers entirely.
Yet for 4 years and a Presidential Campaign, he ignored the fruit hanging so low that it repeatedly bumped him on the head while he was crawling around...
"Howard Lutnick, Trump’s Secretary of Commerce, wants to remove government spending from the GDP calculation."
I think that would be an absolutely excellent change and get people focused on the private economy-- the only part of the economy that matters to the health and well-being of the citizens. As to your poll Tom, what happens now to the economy was in the cake sort a speak, stocks, the economy, are all tricked up and destined to degrade from here. Reduced federal government spending, yes including all the grift, graft, fraud, cheating and et. al., will have greater impact on the official GDP numbers than tariffs. I suppose we could just keep spending and adding to the debt but then there is that little matter of the doom loop we've entered...
Polls are for the unwise, stop trying to be popular with stupidity. As for Bill, he remains upset regarding his failure with the Taxpayers Union, and can not get over HIS personal dislike of President Trump. Trying to clean-up 50 years of garbage done by Congress, The Senate, and several Presidents, requires many ideas, tries, and time, therefore, the RANT Bill, produces against President Trump, is uncalled for and as we have discovered VERY PERSONAL. NOT GOOD.
I am reading a book recommended by Darryl Cooper Martyr Made. “The Wages of Destruction”, Adam Tooze. It’s about Germany and the world economy in the 1930’s, a very complicated situation. It would seem that advancing civilization is without answers. Everyone is fixated on something and the dots are all over the place. Tariffs and debt are big in this rendition and it seems like “deja Vu all over again.” Keynesian theory is rearing its ugly head and Hitler has big plans for the expansion of Germany Eastward. He wants to be powerful, indestructible, like the US at the time, self contained, plenty of food and resources and a big homegrown market. Ah those were the days, free from foreign entanglement when Americans owned their own means of production and were free.
When we had good government, hardly any government at all.
I am also reading, Of True Greatness of Kingdoms and Estates by Francis Bacon,
The US is doing everything wrong as is the world and Russia is forced to be self contained and China is growing and trade is f…ed up. I wonder what will happen in the next 5 years. We have nuclear bombs… what, a thousand times more destructive than Nagasaki and pin point GPS and rockets that do 2,000 miles per second. As Porter Stansberry said, Bill’s protege, “People be crazy.” We are all crazy, all to blame and all will bear the brunt of our own stupidity.
Go to the farm in Argentina, Bill; fight the originarios and visit your daughter; we all need a change of scenery. It’s probably the best place to survive.
Brother Xave, Russia has everything it takes to be a living, breathing Colossus: space, resources, central location, but not enough people. The numbers now are not adequate, and the birth rate is below replenishment, much less growth. 70 years of communism killed any dynamic initiative the country ever had. They have a huge stockpile of nuclear armaments, most of which are 50 years old. I live 30 miles as the crow flies from a semi-major metropolis of nearly 1,000,000 souls. Assuming this area is targeted, and there are hugely significant assets near there, I will simply go out in the front yard when I see the flash, spread my arms, smile, and experience my own vanishing point. Best always. PM
...I see a lot of folks here think Russians are stupid. Russians know what would happen in a nuclear scenario as well as Americans. IMO the ones you need to fear are the wild cards, like Kim Jong Un... if he were to launch a rocket full of BB's (millions of BB's) and blow it up in Earth's satellite zone, he could effectively wipe out all communications.
I am not sure I get this remark, as I have seldom commented on Russia, but I have never, to my recollection, referred to the Russians as "stupid". Communism is a dreadful curse to any nation; once imposed, it is nearly impossible to throw off, and it drains the people and their country of any chance of progress. It is a tragedy of enormous proportions. I pity the generations of Cubans today who have to endure unending and ` soul-crushing hardship due to communism. Best always. PM
The "stupid" comment refers to awareness of the result of a nuclear showdown. I believe the "big 3" superpower's leadership knows there would be no victor and they would likely lose the next millennia of elections because the majority of their constituents have turned into zombies. With all the vast array of technology now and what is on the horizon, it seems more likely a smaller head of state or terror group will have the apathetic ability to recreate hell on earth.
I don't know how old you are, but if you were around in the 50s and 60s as I was, you will definitely recall that Chairman Mao openly and proudly demonstrated via "the numbers" how China would and could survive a nuclear exchange and come out on top. He was only too happy to show the world that he would willingly sacrifice 2/3rds of his population (the key ingredient of population being people) to gain that advantage. Now, there is a difference between stupidity and insanity, but they are often bedfellows. Best always. PM
Me too, Paul. My inherited "bolt hole" is 11 miles from Patrick Space Base on the East-Central coast of Florida. This property is surely in the obliteration zone and I too will go out the front door to embrace the faux Sunrise if given enough time, but man the beaches nearby are REALLY nice...
I live about a 150 miles away from a Minuteman Silo. In a town that has a Canadian Airbase, for what that's worth. I wouldn't even have the time to say "what the duck was that?"
A brilliant man, Michael Savage, who stole my line “liberalism is a mental disorder” many years ago, also has a brilliant book named “Borders, Language and Culture.” He rightly explains the importance of national identity and we are now living through the collapse empires experience by not following logic, reason and national values. I’m pretty sure the globalist who have pushed for the destruction of the West’s national sovereignty and have brilliantly succeeded with their evil intentions, want nothing less than the destruction of our nation and way of life. We will see how this mess unfolds, but in the meantime, focus on your own security and buy the dip in Bitcoin 😊
Excellent advice, Steve. Our open boarders policy and Europe's immigration policy are perfect examples of cultural suicide. Let's at least be honest about it. TDS distorts everyone's vision as the world is awash in USAID propaganda.
Yes Sam, just more proof that liberalism is a mental disorder and how truly self loathing/self destructive these most demented of our society really are. Democrats
The world is inevitably moving toward a unified entity—one ruled by a single power. The only question is who will lead us there, and whether it will happen through force, coercion, or mutual benefit.
Actually Lucas, I don't see it that way. The Western Deep State wants that in the most evil way - however, it appears the World is splitting into Regional Areas of Influence - not one great big World. Europe is dying - the East is rising - and the Middle East with the upcoming surge of the ol' Ottoman Empire become influential. The U.S. needs to retreat to the Western Hemisphere and hopefully expand by building tight relationships without threats in the Americas including South America.
With regard to International Relations, it seems you have articulated the Trump Doctrine near perfectly. It might feel good for some as they wrap themselves in the Flag, but I'm not sure where Isolationism has worked (long run) for any Country in the past...
Shhhhhh...here's a secret... it's called the Internet.
The world has become smaller....
I am not sure where globalization has worked (long run) for any Country in the past.
Living behind enemy lines in SoCal, globalization (off-shoring in the 1990's) and globalized culture, along with coordinated globalized liberal philosophy ruined this State.
Governments the world over, and throughout history have been about 1 thing, and 1 thing only.
The accumulation and wielding of power.
This administration is no different. Other than the weilding. Which isn't hidden under a layer of snow. But being used like a two by four with a nail in it. Swung by an octegenarian that couldn't give a shit who's in the way. As long as people remember who swung the stick.
There are MILLIONS of us standing directly behind him in the arena, cheering him on. There are also ten of thousands of us ready and willing to pick up the stick if he drops it or has it taken from him...
My issue with multiple languages is that our government pays for the translation of all government forms, legal proceedings, tests, etc. I feel that cost should be born by those who speak a language other than English rather than the U.S. TAXPAYERS‼️
Thing is, we’re all just banging our gums here. Not jack sh!t is going to change. Repubs are proving (and have proven) to be just as enamored with deficits as Dems. The iceberg has been hit, we’re just rearranging deck chairs on the sinking fiscal ship.
I will always chose "abolish the IRS" =)
Replaced by what exactly? As the only source of income for the USG is the IRS.
Some pixie dust? Or some strong arm tactics like "Canada, give us your land or we'll simply nuke you?"
I wonder how the USA survived before the IRS was founded (sarcasm).
I’d love to see the script. The plan. The grand strategy. The masterstroke that will finally erase the IRS from existence.
Dan Denning seemed to have mapped out a potential playbook last week (link below), and on paper, it had a certain ruthless elegance. But if this is the plan being executed, then it looks less like a surgical operation and more like someone testing spaghetti doneness—by launching the entire pot at the ceiling.
https://www.bonnerprivateresearch.com/p/degenerates-delinquents-soaring-demand
And now everyone’s dodging not just the noodles, but also the boiling water, the saucepan, and possibly the kitchen sink.
Look, I don’t live in the U.S., so I don’t have a personal stake in whether the IRS gets axed. But as an outsider, I was expecting a deliberate dismantling, not a full-speed, no-brakes demolition derby where half the participants don’t even realize the race has started. If there is a carefully thought-out plan, it’s currently hiding somewhere under the wreckage.
Don’t get me wrong—watching a government agency implode is fascinating. But at this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if the next step involves appointing a sentient AI chatbot as the new head of tax enforcement (and honestly, that might be the most competent bureaucrat involved).
Tariffs & taxes on liquor & sin taxes which was sufficient when our country was formed. That dam Wilson got a temporary income tax in 1913 & Congress made them permanent in the 1920’s bc they got hooked on spending all that FREE $$$ on their preferred projects. Since then the income tax % has continued to increase!
When you add property taxes + state income tax & federal income tax plus the many other government hidden taxes (fees) most Americans pay over 50% of their earned income to our governments‼️😮
Put 3% on ALL Online Bets when they are placed, 5% on ALL Online Gambling Winnings when they are collected and 7% on ALL cash remittances to a foreign Country --
PROBLEM SOLVED...
Does anyone have a computation of this spending?
Tariffs and sin taxes on liquor might’ve worked back in the day, but good luck funding today’s mess with a few extra bar tabs. Wilson’s 1913 “temporary” income tax—locked in during the ’20s—got Congress hooked on that sweet cash. You’re spot-on: federal income tax, state taxes, property taxes, and hidden fees mean most Americans hand over 50% of their pay. But replacing that $3T+ with your nostalgia plan?
Lets see:
$1.7T in Social Security - take this away, and you're going to have a new season, gratis, of the Walking Dead on your hands. That $1.7T loops right back into the economy in the form of C or Consumption in the GDP calculation. Take it out and the ripple effects will be enormous (Good luck w this one - No savings).
$950B in Medicare for seniors - maybe if you can get everyone to do 10,000 steps or more a day, you wouldn't need all that healthcare - but you might want to get the pres and el Musk on board first. (Savings of $950B - most of these people wouldn't even know where to go to complain. You should be good.)
$650B in Medicaid - you know. For the ones who live in poverty. Yeah those folks. The forgotten ones. Drop this, and you'll have them all coming to the White House or Capital Hill. To cough on all the politicians. Riots. Chaos. On second thought.(Savings of $650B).
$895B - National Defense - with no more NATO funding and the US apparently closing all of its 750 bases around the world, and bringing the boys and girls home, you should save a pile of cash. Only to be chewed up in the first year by unemployment cheques, after you fire the majority of the 1M plus military. Unless of course, you have your sights set on Canada, Greenland, Panama and Mexico and beyond. (No savings. All monies go to Unemployment payouts, foreign coups and Defense Industry bailouts).
$750B - Interest on the debt. That ones kinda tough. If you drop interest rates to 0%, there is no interest on the debt. Just a looming $36T credit card statement with no expiry. Problem is, your dollar will go to shit, and inflation will sky rocket. You currently already need a wheelbarrow of cash to buy that shiny new Tesla. After that move, the only thing you'll get for that wheelbarrow of cash, will be a loaf of bread. Everyone will dump your Treasury papers along with their last night's meal on their next visit to the toilet. What to do? I know you'll do the right thing. (Save $750B by dropping interest rates to 0%.)
$320B - Veterans benefits and services - don't piss these guys off. Otherwise I know who'll be leading the charge onto capital hill. And they won't be waiting until January either. (No Savings. No pay? Instant civil war which would cost more than $320B).
$315B - "Other" discretionary spending - you know - stupid stuff like education, transportation and housing. (Saved $315B)
$200B - More retirement money - for federal employees and military personnel. I'll give you this one. These clowns don't need it. They've made their cash in insider information. Save for the military. They're the last to know anything. (Saved $200B)
$120B - Highways, airports and transit system - save on ATC personnel and just install traffic lights at all airports. Coulda used one last week in Chicago when that private jet didn't look both ways and decided it was time to go. A set of lights, and he won't have to think next time. As for highways and transit, over-rated! (Saved $120B)
That is still $3T you need to come up with. Liquor and Betting taxes won't do it alone. Fair tax of 10% would give you $2T. Fair tax of 15% would give you $3T.
But your bigger problem?
Trying not to get the close to 1.5M workers you put out of work by firing their asses from the federal government, not to burn the whole thing down, as their lives go to shit.
Good luck with that!
I failed to mention sales taxes, utilities taxes, luxury & alcohol taxes. I am sure there are many more plus many fees, licenses, registrations, etc.
Couldnt agree more. I have a friend who is a financial wealth advisor and informed me of an elderly couple retiring from the business passing down the farming industry to their kids as had been done for several generations. Deciding to travel the world for a stint only to learn in a meeting that was called by my friend and his partner to break the news. My friend said to me, you should have seen their faces when we told the clients that passing down the business and all proprety was going to trigger a capital gains tax as if they sold it !.
That changed everything for that family. Trudeau: "well hey, you can sell the land and your kids will not have to worry about the several million in capital gains aside from the fact they know the land and the business. enjoy ".
It’s sound alike a ploy. The same reason many large ranches throughout the western US have been forced to sell to the Nature Conservancy. This has been going on for at least 30 years.
Insanity
Theft wrapped up under the guise of environmental protectionism. Who are the big players in the Nature Conservancy? It’s big money.
See your farm to your kids for $1, therefore no capital gains tax and move on. Is that legal?
Im not certain it seems too easy. Not sure what came of it.
Yep. We found out about the "Alternative Minimum Tax" when we sold our business last year. Brutal.
What sane person would want to start a business in Canada these days, with the number of penalties the government puts on a business owner for all those years of love and hard work. In the form of exit taxes.
Head shaker.
Read up on “The Fair Tax”, and the supplement that addresses all the concerns of those so afraid to abolish the IRS. Bottom line: the federal tax coffers would explode.
And, if the IRS is abolished, then how is the Federal Government funded? Raise property taxes? Raise sales taxes? Print more fiat currency?
Tariffs, Usage Tax, Sell/Lease Federal Assets (Buildings and Land), Increased Energy Production and associated taxes - do you want me to keep going, Ol' Man?
Our government really does not have a balanced budget, especially when the unfunded liabilities are included.
Our government (Congress) basically has a spending problem by trying to buy favors from most everyone including other countries! They solve their SPENDING PROBLEMS by PRINTING MORE MONEY; hence, outrageous debt! When is it ever going to end?
DOGE will delete some stupid spending & excessive overhead but they are “saving” Billions and our debt is in the Trillions!
Get rid of this stupid 10 year budget and then budget & spend for ONLY THE COMING YEAR!
Educate yourself. Read up on “The Fair Tax”, and the supplement that addresses all the naysayers.
yup but it was a 2 part question. Which part does one reject?
Without pain nothing will change. We are and will be for awhile in a recession. Im all for giving this admn a chance to turn a 40 trillion disaster around. Trump has recruited an outstanding team and they deserve their 4 year opportunity.
Bob, fully agree. Change is coming - one way or the other - and it is going to be painful. If Harris had won, it would be swifter and more destructive in my opinion. An inflationary depression is starting. The Administration needs to focus back on the U.S. and get out of all the foreign entanglements as Eiserhower lamented. Cut the Defense Budget by 70%. Unfortunately - chances of that happening is zero. Human nature doesn't change and it isn't going to change this time. Hang on tight.......and stack some PMs.
Mr. LSO, Cutting the Defense budget by 70% would be a great thing, but it would result in seven-to-ten million jobs in the private sector disappearing, causing a job-loss contagion overall, leading to a stock market collapse and a depression. Eventually this would turn around and be a plus for the U.S. But during the TRANSITION PERIOD there would be massive marches on DC (from suburbanites, not the urban poor), and the GOP would be wiped out, leading to far-left radicals taking over the federal govt. Most Americans are much too hooked on the greatest drug of all, and this is the debt drug. The debt-for-jobs binge has gotten so out of control during the 21st Century that it can only be reversed GRADUALLY. The problem I see is that even if it's done gradually, the economy will probably collapse before the problem can be reversed. But maybe the collapse will not be so dire if a gradual approach is tried.
Some of my friends hope for a collapse, believing that Texas and Florida will then lead the South and the Farm Belt to secede from the U.S., possibly taking the rest of the Midwest and some of the Rocky Mountain West with them. In their opinion, the third-world coasts can then rot. I'm not certain how the Globalist Elite would react to this because the guns and the military are from the center of the U.S., not the coasts. So this might be why the Globalist Elite are supporting Trump for now. They never want to see new independent countries. They want to consolidate countries. Look at the $350B poured into Ukraine from the U.S. & W. Europe so tiny Donbas won't break away. So I worry what a collapse would cause. A huge unknown.
Don't forget the Lead.
(Sorry Ol' Man - it's obligatory at this point...)
An outstanding team? Let's see..there's RFK jr, Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard. Really
outstanding folks!
You prefer the likes of Rachel Levine and Sam Brinton?
Yes James... Compared to the Pack of liers, thieves, cross dressers, deep state clowns during the last 4 years.
Those that can't, become teachers - or they just sit on the sidelines and bitch...
Those who can’t, become democrats, and tonight’s despicable show of their ignorance and contempt for America proves this fact. It’s cringe worthy watching the demented democrats tonight, sitting with their disgusting grins during one of the greatest speeches ever from any president. It looked like a shot out of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest” with all the sad inmates whining about exceptional leadership. TDS, like liberalism is definitely a mental disorder 🤪
I would love to hear how you were educated, SE. Surely, you didn't get homeschooled, now did you?
BTW, don't forget to add retirees to your list.
Ha! Public School in '70s-'80s FLA followed by the second best small University and best Business School in the state (Stetson), a stint in the US Army then Florida National Guard, a lifetime spent working my ass off under the hot Florida sun building a business, providing jobs and objective value to my customers, tons of sweet lovin' from multiple amazing ladies and the solid companionship of many faithful dogs and several subjectively indifferent cats. Oh, I also lived in the Cayman Islands for 10 years pursuing my career in Tropical Horticulture. Learned a LOT and had an absolute BLAST!
But the most important earthly thing, BY FAR, was my mom marrying a WWII Veteran when I was 8 years old. He raised me as a true Father should and I'd be just about nowhere today without him. RIP, Daddy-O.
How about you?
Well, SE, your life’s quite the Florida tale—public school, Stetson, Army days, and building a business under that relentless sun. That Cayman horticulture chapter sounds like a dream worth chasing. I’d bet your dad’s looking down with quiet pride every time he sees you. RIP, Daddy-O.
Me, I kicked off with ‘60s and ‘70s public school years, then drove a cab—long nights, good stories—while at Red River Community College, the best trades spot around. Spent 12 years with the feds, then started an IT company with friends. Bought them out and ran it with my wonderful wife, a stellar crew, and amazing clients for 25 years. Raised two great kids in the mix. We traveled plenty—North and South America, Europe—stacking up memories I wouldn’t trade. Last year, we sold the house and business, moved to an apartment, and now I’m soaking up freedom. Writing, reading, digging into research—trying to fly under my wife’s radar, since she’s always got a “productive” plan for my day. It’s a chapter I never saw coming.
Two anchors kept me steady. My mom—Dad passed early, leaving her with me and my sister, at 11 and 9—dug in with a strength that still floors me. “Work hard, keep it honest,” she’d say, and she lived it. Friends, neighbors, church folks, scouts, and a stack of books helped us along—those authors shaped me more than they’ll know.
Then there’s my wife, my other anchor for the last 35 years. She pushed me to finish trade school when I wanted to quit, backed me when I left a safe job to start the business, and said “let’s buy the partners out” when we could’ve sold early. Today’s possible because she believed in me. For that, I’m truly grateful.
That's a great life, Lucas! Thanks for for always being a maker and not a taker...
I had hope. In November. That the clowns were going to doff their garb and get to business.
Then I witnessed the clown show on Friday.
Nuff said.
Sadly, I'm kinda right there with you Lucas. I've known Pam Bondi a long time here in FLA. She's not a very good liar - and it shows. We are seeing Epstein's customer base exerting their considerable influence in more conniving and dangerous ways than heretofore - it's actually a bit scary for us thinking commoners to realize how much unadulterated control some of the worst people in the world actually have available to use as they see fit.
As I mentioned before, March 2025 is a PIVOTAL month:
1. It gives enough time for the investigations of the cornucopia of corrupt, low-hanging fruit to be wrapping up - so we should see perp walks and handcuffs by April Fool's day. Should be and Righteously by the dozens.
2. Mid-month is Showdown Time regarding if our near-worthless "Representatives" are actually concerned about the lethal Debt problem and if they are smart enough to acknowledge the output coming from DOGE and begin cutting off the faucet that is feeding all the Theft and Fraud. I'm not at all hopeful.
3. March will show us if the EU is really as stupid as they appear to be. Will they insist on trying to continue a losing battle just because of their hatred and fear of Putin? This month will tell, though we will likely NEVER know the real reasons behind their blood-filled insanity when it comes to UK/RU.
Thank GOD we have Trump at least paying lip service to the right side of these issues - lip service that is based on Logic, Critical Thinking and Reality. This month will show us if Salvation as a Nation is actually feasible without violence and bloodshed -- or it will show we have been, 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻, sold a mirage...
At least Trump is taking some action rather than just spending money we don't have and doing nothing but maintaining power. Seems some old farts are caught up in doing nothing except complaining, like Bill. Is he insane? Of course Trump's ideas might fail but he is on the right course of reducing corruption and government. Reducing corruption can't be a bad direction. Bill sounds like a elite complainer to me and I'm tired of the elites and their stupidity.
Sadly, Bill nailed it today. Not sad that Bill is right, but sad because Bill is right - if ya know what I mean...
PS - Those "nickels under the cushions" will start to add up - but even better, finding and collecting them denies their use by criminals and enemies for things that harm and/or denigrate our Country and the world...
It is my personal belief that US citizens have been exposed to a covert civil war by segments of the government and others since 2008. They are influenced by the coordinated actions of WEF, which I watch closely for indications of their desired deconstruction in this country. If the US is reduced to the common status of the EU there is no example for other nations to aspire to. Global control can then be assured through economic control. China uses Belt and Road. WEF uses climate control manipulation.
U.S. Libtardes use stolen tax dollars, altered Histories, trannies and drag queens...
This becomes truly laughable.
Official language for a state is not acceptable for Mr Bonner.
And he even finds an example which seems to contradict.
Just move your eyes a little northwest, e.g. to Belgium. Two languages and a ongoing feud and division even in that tiny country.
We speak five languages. How dare we? Well maybe on the background that so many countries in the world regard their language as constitutive to their nation?
And DOGE' s identified billions of fraud are nickels? Why haven't I seen Mr B on the Forbes list? Too rich like Rothschild's, who never appeared on such lists?
You intermittency is absolved by your efficacy, Petra.
Love it...
,🙏
One official language for all legal documents, contracts, voting, traffic signs, driver license tests, public schools, government correspondence, etc. is the practical way to run a government. The private sector including business, places of worship, organizations, communication of all types including verbal, written, newsprint, books, digital, interpersonal, etc., the language used should be at the complete discretion of the participants.
Yup. I'd highlight "public" schools in the first part of your list. The explosion of illegal brats in our national "education" system has resulted in YUGE amounts of money spent on duplicate learning materials in multiple languages, numerous "aides" in the classroom to interpret all verbal teaching for "students" who shouldn't be there in the first place and the creation of a busy, confused environment that is NOT conducive to Learning for the deserving, native kids whose parents provide the majority of funding for the circus...
Making English the official language in the U.S. would definitely save money. Up here in Canada, everything must be written and translated into two official languages. That’s great for Quebec and the small number of French speakers west of it, but for the rest of us, it’s just an economic drain.
The government is required to have French-speaking staff nationwide—not just where French speakers actually live, but anywhere they choose to engage with the government. That adds unnecessary costs.
It also creates barriers for businesses. Some manufacturers avoid Canada entirely because of the hassle and expense of redoing packaging just to comply with language laws.
On a global scale, language dominance is shifting. In the end, it will likely come down to Chinese vs. English vs. Hindi—the three most widely spoken languages. Which one wins will depend on who wins the final battle.
Especially if psychopathic leaders are left to decide the outcome.
"it will likely come down to Chinese vs. English vs. Hindi—the three most widely spoken languages. "
Don't forget all those around the world that speak Stupid as their primary language. It appears they are a sizeable minority, over-represented in the U.S. and E.U....
That's a given "second" language for all of humanity. I'm talking about the language where people actually communicate and accomplish incredible things for all of mankind, vs. simply going "stupid" on each other.
Yes. I said much of the same thing in my post.
Bill is clearly out from under the effects of anaesthesia and back to his "enlightened" self, while his subconscious bangs to get out of its cage. Best always. PM
P.S. It's a gesture more than anything, designed to set a tone. Executive orders are not laws; they are policy directives for the government, which, judging by governmental activity (transfer payments) equal to 40% of total GDP, can't be blithely dismissed. PM
Set the tone, of an 80 year old baby, saying and doing stupid shit?
And I'm not talking about Bill, either.
Hmmm......following the path of all presidents since at least Jimmy Carter. They set the tone they are told by the Deep State run by the Jewish Lobby. Hasn't changed - they all do stupid stuff from us peons perspective but not theirs. Why? you asked - simply they get wealthy.
Nixon got sand bagged to agree to take the U.S. dollar off the gold standard temporarily, then resigned and the bankers never pushed for a gold standard return. Just like interest rates for banks were capped at 12% until the Carter High Inflation, the banks that cap lifted without a sunset clause and now live with Mob interest rates of up to 26% on credit cards. Pure ROBBERY‼️
Yiu are truly full of shit
AP
Agreed, but at some point (different for each Lizard), the money has to not matter as much. What takes its place as the Motivating Factor(s)? For Bill, a big driver appears to be embracing the opportunity to disparage his enemies on-the-daily.
I don't know specifically, but I can surmise that few, if any, of those alternate reasons can or will result in anything beneficial to the rest of us nor our Society...
I think Bill just hates all politicians. And doesn't miss the opportunity to disparage a single one of them as clowns, when they act the part. This has become his M.O. since, like, forever.
Today's theme was a surprise to me, as he sidestepped the Ukraine debacle on Friday and the Epstein papers entirely.
Going for low hanging fruit would be my guess.
Yet for 4 years and a Presidential Campaign, he ignored the fruit hanging so low that it repeatedly bumped him on the head while he was crawling around...
They're all the same. And they're getting what they all deserve from us.
Our absolute disdain.
"Howard Lutnick, Trump’s Secretary of Commerce, wants to remove government spending from the GDP calculation."
I think that would be an absolutely excellent change and get people focused on the private economy-- the only part of the economy that matters to the health and well-being of the citizens. As to your poll Tom, what happens now to the economy was in the cake sort a speak, stocks, the economy, are all tricked up and destined to degrade from here. Reduced federal government spending, yes including all the grift, graft, fraud, cheating and et. al., will have greater impact on the official GDP numbers than tariffs. I suppose we could just keep spending and adding to the debt but then there is that little matter of the doom loop we've entered...
Polls are for the unwise, stop trying to be popular with stupidity. As for Bill, he remains upset regarding his failure with the Taxpayers Union, and can not get over HIS personal dislike of President Trump. Trying to clean-up 50 years of garbage done by Congress, The Senate, and several Presidents, requires many ideas, tries, and time, therefore, the RANT Bill, produces against President Trump, is uncalled for and as we have discovered VERY PERSONAL. NOT GOOD.
RALPH W.
You mean like your disdain for Bill?
Lucas, Spot-on but they all stay with Bill. I wonder if they do just to buy the wine?
I can't quit you, Ol' Man - and I don't drink wine.
I'm kinda addicted to Dorothy too...
;)
Or your's for Trump?
Fair question...
Do read Bills letters just so you can butch?
Bitch
I once had some lady neighbors we lovingly called Butch and Bitch.
Good folk, but no kids for some reason...
Now I'm wetting myself!
I am reading a book recommended by Darryl Cooper Martyr Made. “The Wages of Destruction”, Adam Tooze. It’s about Germany and the world economy in the 1930’s, a very complicated situation. It would seem that advancing civilization is without answers. Everyone is fixated on something and the dots are all over the place. Tariffs and debt are big in this rendition and it seems like “deja Vu all over again.” Keynesian theory is rearing its ugly head and Hitler has big plans for the expansion of Germany Eastward. He wants to be powerful, indestructible, like the US at the time, self contained, plenty of food and resources and a big homegrown market. Ah those were the days, free from foreign entanglement when Americans owned their own means of production and were free.
When we had good government, hardly any government at all.
I am also reading, Of True Greatness of Kingdoms and Estates by Francis Bacon,
https://bacon.thefreelibrary.com/The-Essays/29-1
The US is doing everything wrong as is the world and Russia is forced to be self contained and China is growing and trade is f…ed up. I wonder what will happen in the next 5 years. We have nuclear bombs… what, a thousand times more destructive than Nagasaki and pin point GPS and rockets that do 2,000 miles per second. As Porter Stansberry said, Bill’s protege, “People be crazy.” We are all crazy, all to blame and all will bear the brunt of our own stupidity.
Go to the farm in Argentina, Bill; fight the originarios and visit your daughter; we all need a change of scenery. It’s probably the best place to survive.
Brother Xave, Russia has everything it takes to be a living, breathing Colossus: space, resources, central location, but not enough people. The numbers now are not adequate, and the birth rate is below replenishment, much less growth. 70 years of communism killed any dynamic initiative the country ever had. They have a huge stockpile of nuclear armaments, most of which are 50 years old. I live 30 miles as the crow flies from a semi-major metropolis of nearly 1,000,000 souls. Assuming this area is targeted, and there are hugely significant assets near there, I will simply go out in the front yard when I see the flash, spread my arms, smile, and experience my own vanishing point. Best always. PM
...I see a lot of folks here think Russians are stupid. Russians know what would happen in a nuclear scenario as well as Americans. IMO the ones you need to fear are the wild cards, like Kim Jong Un... if he were to launch a rocket full of BB's (millions of BB's) and blow it up in Earth's satellite zone, he could effectively wipe out all communications.
I am not sure I get this remark, as I have seldom commented on Russia, but I have never, to my recollection, referred to the Russians as "stupid". Communism is a dreadful curse to any nation; once imposed, it is nearly impossible to throw off, and it drains the people and their country of any chance of progress. It is a tragedy of enormous proportions. I pity the generations of Cubans today who have to endure unending and ` soul-crushing hardship due to communism. Best always. PM
The "stupid" comment refers to awareness of the result of a nuclear showdown. I believe the "big 3" superpower's leadership knows there would be no victor and they would likely lose the next millennia of elections because the majority of their constituents have turned into zombies. With all the vast array of technology now and what is on the horizon, it seems more likely a smaller head of state or terror group will have the apathetic ability to recreate hell on earth.
A dying Kim Jong Un comes to mind...
I don't know how old you are, but if you were around in the 50s and 60s as I was, you will definitely recall that Chairman Mao openly and proudly demonstrated via "the numbers" how China would and could survive a nuclear exchange and come out on top. He was only too happy to show the world that he would willingly sacrifice 2/3rds of his population (the key ingredient of population being people) to gain that advantage. Now, there is a difference between stupidity and insanity, but they are often bedfellows. Best always. PM
However... Mao did not nuke America.
Likely Mao knew his constituencies would no longer succumb as "his" subjects because there would likely be no more Chinese government.
Note: Mao did not nuke Taiwan either...
Me too, Paul. My inherited "bolt hole" is 11 miles from Patrick Space Base on the East-Central coast of Florida. This property is surely in the obliteration zone and I too will go out the front door to embrace the faux Sunrise if given enough time, but man the beaches nearby are REALLY nice...
I live about a 150 miles away from a Minuteman Silo. In a town that has a Canadian Airbase, for what that's worth. I wouldn't even have the time to say "what the duck was that?"
Agreed
I think, “the vanishing point,” is the next great adventure. Do you think you will see the flash? They say it’s awesome. Wear sunglasses 😎.
If the IRS were eliminated, would anyone ten years from now say "gee I miss the old IRS forms and regulations".
A brilliant man, Michael Savage, who stole my line “liberalism is a mental disorder” many years ago, also has a brilliant book named “Borders, Language and Culture.” He rightly explains the importance of national identity and we are now living through the collapse empires experience by not following logic, reason and national values. I’m pretty sure the globalist who have pushed for the destruction of the West’s national sovereignty and have brilliantly succeeded with their evil intentions, want nothing less than the destruction of our nation and way of life. We will see how this mess unfolds, but in the meantime, focus on your own security and buy the dip in Bitcoin 😊
Excellent advice, Steve. Our open boarders policy and Europe's immigration policy are perfect examples of cultural suicide. Let's at least be honest about it. TDS distorts everyone's vision as the world is awash in USAID propaganda.
Yes Sam, just more proof that liberalism is a mental disorder and how truly self loathing/self destructive these most demented of our society really are. Democrats
The world is inevitably moving toward a unified entity—one ruled by a single power. The only question is who will lead us there, and whether it will happen through force, coercion, or mutual benefit.
Actually Lucas, I don't see it that way. The Western Deep State wants that in the most evil way - however, it appears the World is splitting into Regional Areas of Influence - not one great big World. Europe is dying - the East is rising - and the Middle East with the upcoming surge of the ol' Ottoman Empire become influential. The U.S. needs to retreat to the Western Hemisphere and hopefully expand by building tight relationships without threats in the Americas including South America.
I guess we'll see won't we? Trump, or any other politician that isn't following the script, will be removed. Forcibly, or by some form of scandal.
We just need to sit back and see if all is going according to plan. And plan accordingly ourselves.
Also , beware of the Ides Of March. Myth , maybe, but maybe yes.
With regard to International Relations, it seems you have articulated the Trump Doctrine near perfectly. It might feel good for some as they wrap themselves in the Flag, but I'm not sure where Isolationism has worked (long run) for any Country in the past...
Isolation?
Shhhhhh...here's a secret... it's called the Internet.
The world has become smaller....
I am not sure where globalization has worked (long run) for any Country in the past.
Living behind enemy lines in SoCal, globalization (off-shoring in the 1990's) and globalized culture, along with coordinated globalized liberal philosophy ruined this State.
Mutually Assured Destruction I surmise.
Revisit that claim in 2035?
Governments the world over, and throughout history have been about 1 thing, and 1 thing only.
The accumulation and wielding of power.
This administration is no different. Other than the weilding. Which isn't hidden under a layer of snow. But being used like a two by four with a nail in it. Swung by an octegenarian that couldn't give a shit who's in the way. As long as people remember who swung the stick.
There are MILLIONS of us standing directly behind him in the arena, cheering him on. There are also ten of thousands of us ready and willing to pick up the stick if he drops it or has it taken from him...
Exactly brother Starboard 🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I forgot to add, "Swung by an octogenarian, wearing a blindfold, that couldn't give a shit who's in the way."
Give him room SE. Give him room.
Ya didn't have to add all those good points. You had me at "stick"...
The leaders we elect of all political stripe prove to be self serving fools .
I don't see a solution but we will hunker down and plant a bigger garden .
My issue with multiple languages is that our government pays for the translation of all government forms, legal proceedings, tests, etc. I feel that cost should be born by those who speak a language other than English rather than the U.S. TAXPAYERS‼️
Thing is, we’re all just banging our gums here. Not jack sh!t is going to change. Repubs are proving (and have proven) to be just as enamored with deficits as Dems. The iceberg has been hit, we’re just rearranging deck chairs on the sinking fiscal ship.
What is hidden in snow, is revealed at thaw.
