Yes, there are patterns to life. Cycles. Stories with beginnings, climaxes, and endings. We all play our roles. Even the ‘greatest story ever told’ had its extras.
I sort of enjoyed "Energy Independence", "Closed Border", "No Russian Invasion of Ukraine", "No War in the Middle East", "Elimination of Islamic Caliphate", "Tax Cuts" and "Less Crime". But what do I know.
Geez, Jim. You didn't call Bill an idiot or even worse - just presented facts. Bill won't be able to add your comments to his pity-party post. But I will say that Bill does make a few points (but never mentions the good things Trump did as you did here). Trump never did push for or even mention a balanced budget, wanted to keep the interest rates low which leads to misallocation of resources, did increase the deficits with his stimulus payments, etc. However, he was one of the few that said the cure can't be worse than the disease (COVID) and he didn't "preside" over lockdowns - that was the decision of each state. Plus, all the points you mentioned and there is much more, like a decent foreign policy, and not kowtowing to the Chinese. If anything came out of the 2020 election, it was to expose the Democrats for what they are - progressive-fascist-nihilist wackos. Will the electorate understand that and vote them out? Can we get a Republican candidate elected who is better than Trump? We'll see.
JG: To respond to your last few comments: what are the Democrats being exposed for that the Republicans are not?:
Progressive-fascist nihilist wackos. That sounds more like Trump. You obviously didn't follow Trump's Presidency too closely. Reread what Bonner wrote about Trump. Trump was actually worst than that. You may also want to keep up with his trials that are going on to find out what a sterling individual he isn't. Trump is being exposed to 90+ counts and he enjoyed being China and Russia's friend..no one can trust those countries.
Good luck finding a good candidate..just don't vote for a Mega republican.
Thank you for your Democrat talking points. If you think Trump is a progressive-fascist-nihilist, then you have no idea what those words mean. The 91 counts against Trump just proves my point as to what the Democrats have become. I suppose you believe that Trump colluded with the Russians despite a two-year Mueller team investigation largely based on a phony dossier funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign that found nothing. And I bet the mountains of evidence that is being accumulated against the Biden crime family (IRS whistleblower testimony before Congress; bank records; former business partner testimony; Hunter's incriminating laptop; words out of Joe Biden's mouth; photographs of Joe, Hunter, and foreign partners; etc., amounts to nothing. You can impeach Trump over a phone call, but all this evidence against the Bidens doesn't amount to anything? Or are you even aware of it since you probably get all your news from leftist media. And Trump being Russia and China's friend - how clueless can you get? Yes, he tried to get along so that he could influence them but was very tough on both. It's Biden that has given China a pass and would be giving Russia a pass if not for the Ukraine war.
Hey John. I made the mistake of engaging her two times in the past. I will never do it again! It is an exercise in frustration, the liberals see what they want to see.
JG: Not sure where you get your info. Why would you think 91 counts was a good thing? Pray tell me what the mountain of evidence that is being accumulated on Biden. It's been investigated for years now and they have not come up with the evidence. Trump isn't being impeach for a phone call. If you watched what is actually happening, you would know it's for the insurrection that happened on 1-6. Which we all had a front seat view of. Now he's on trial, along with some family members ( right now it's Trump's son, Donald Jr., testifying for lying about the value of Trump's various properties which he denies he didn't get involved in. Trump's CPA and others will evidently need to testify also.
As far as Trump being friends with Russia and China, at the time we were not in such a mess as we are now....so I'm not so clueless, but obviously you seem to be about what Trump is all about.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and comments. No reply is necessary. Keep following that yellow-brick road, Dorathy. There is a surprise at the end.
the saddest part is that you can't come up with one other single soul out 330 million who could do a better job .. that what ensures a failed democracy as your legacy .. well done!
Not my job to name anyone. And, by the way, the USA is not and was never meant to be a democracy, it is (or I should say, was at one time) a Constitutional Republic with some democratic elements. But, hey, the USA is far from perfect unlike the political paradise of Australia where all the politicians are honest, intelligent, and fierce defenders of individual rights.
Mr. Jim. He absolutely can give Trump no credit. I agree with Bonner on the spending it was absolutely absurd. But the things you mentioned were all real. Look what we have now.
Yep, it's Trump's fault just like everything else from war to mumps and measles is Trump's fault. Congress is as innocent as a new born babe.
Bill, politics definitely ain't your lane old sport.
By the way, I don't blame Biden alone for our coming collapse. He has 535 co-conspirators and they don't even get an honorable mention by the presstitutes who are also as useless as breasts on a boar hog.
You didn't mention Pedo Joes almost entirely zionist cabinet members. Is the Donald still claiming his 'Warp speed', bio-'jabs'are beautiful, safe, and suddenly/unexpectedly effeicient?
No. Biden is. Trump never took the position that everyone must take the jab. Unfortunately, Trump relied way too much on Fauci and didn't push back often enough. He made mistakes, no question; but compared to Biden....
Well, I voted for him (twice) and will do so again.
Is he perfect? C'mon man. But he was so far and away better than the alternatives, there is really no competition. Particularly in 2016 when his opponent was an ESPECIALLY vile, traitorous enemy of our Country - Skanky McKankles Clinton.
So Bill lists some facts about Trump (no disputing the "substance", though I would quibble over the severity of some of them), yet neglects to mention any of the myriad POSITIVE and BENEFICIAL things Trump accomplished. Color me shocked.
Should be a surprise to no one. As I've said before and he proves consistently, Mr. Bonner has zero qualms about showing his sh*tlib "elite" ass whenever he feels like it. What? You don't care for that facet of his newsletter?? It's a "free" Country, so cancel your subscription...
What I liked about Trump is that he didn't get much done. Gridlock is the best we can hope for; the government that governs best governs least. I'm hoping he's re-elected for the third time in 2024. The Palestinians will suffer, though. (edit: I mean suffer even more.)
SE: You have a problem of being censored. Bill was right about Trump. Only Bill didn't go far enough. But you can still watch your favorite president, Trump, even if he's still not president now. Trump is in just a little bit of hot water. P.S. Try to be nice, if you respond!
My theory is that the nation is led by clever incompetents. They manage to get elected because the people don't have enough physical experience or knowledge of science, I mean the real science of physics, chemisty, math, business acumen to discern the difference between an imposter and someone else with knowledge. Nobel is handing out economics prizes to Paul Krugman who says make one platinum coin to pay for the debt. Totally absurd, totally incompetent in economics yet gets a Nobel prize for absurd reasoning. The public doesn't know the difference and either does the Nobel committee giving the award. OR
Climate change by Al Gore. He notices that CO2 goes up as does temperatures. He doesn't have enough experience to understand that correlation is not necessarily causation. But he convinces enough politicians, who also have no understanding of statistics, that they could get a lot of money from carbon trading. Oh Al just happens to own the carbon trading company. But the politicians are so dumb they don't know if global warming is true of false. But they can get a lot of money to spend and they see they can hire a lot of academia to support their cause because they control the grant payments. But they go further, start paying trillions for windmills that now fall apart, start paying for solar panels that don't last as long as they are supposed to. Meanwhile companies attempting to supply energy via these forms are losing money. So who cares? Certainly not the politicians "buying" the votes with other peoples money. Society will just pick up the foolish spending. Is anyone noticing all the foolish spending where society picks up the tab. Oh by the way the politicians forgot to do any calculations as to what the cost was to provide the materials of construction or industries which must be established to provide those materials, like lithium or cobalt. Is anyone seeing a pattern here? And of course the financial giants didn't miss a beat milking the ESG mantra with higher costs to young and believing ESG investors well except for now that its becoming obvious that ESG is losing money in the markets. Are these politicians serving Americans? OR
The politicians have figured out they can buy votes from trans and gay parts of society if they support the trans movement. The leftists need a few more votes to insure election so they spout a bit of trans nonsense. No societal backlash yet i.e. until they want to dance in front of their kids or perform drugs and operations to change their kids sexuality without parental permission. OR
BLM. Politicians figure out they can garner black votes with BLM. Who doesn't think Black lives matter? Well the leftist politicians but they aren't worried about improving black lives they just want to sound empathetic to blacks. The policies they activate hurt blacks including the free money but it does look good to get free. It even came to supporting free millions for each black, saw that Gavin supported some effort. Of course they never got the money. Every self respecting black fully realizes he must work hard, negotiate for better positions and constantly protect and "fight" for his reputation.
I see a pattern. Figure out some mantra / narrative that sounds empathetic to some group or part of a group ignorant enough to fall for the false empathy. When one doesn't really understand almost any aspect of science such as chemistry, physics, math, industrial engineering, thermodynamics, business acumen or the effect of policing on society then it is really easy to fall for some empathetic ploy that appears urgent and goes along with a popular complaint within the group being addressed.
I don't even want to belabor covid vaccination point. Anyone with a hint of statistical knowledge is now fully aware of the vaccination hoax but man did it pay off for the politicians and bureaucrats through donations from big pharma and it just so happened to support the big pharma, big tech political consortium through media. Just so happens big pharma and big tech have no liability for their actions, how convenient. But the politicians sure reaped the benefit of media coverage and political contributions. I gotta say it was pretty clever as all these industries saw advantages for themselves. Guess that is what happens when you get trained in the WEF and all the big shots sit around under the protection of 4000 Swiss army troops. I just kinda wonder why they need military protection? Seems they could only be helping society, right?
Congress has the power of the purse, not the President, although he sets policy.
Congress is so irresponsible that almost every President since FDR resorts to constitutionally illegal Executive Orders to legislate from the White House.
I hope speaker Johnson leads a movement to Repeal all unconstitutional laws,starting with the patriot act and ending with EO’s.
I meant to ask about that a couple of days ago - I would love to see that, though with the addition of pigs in flight departing from Bigfoot's hind quarters. Maybe Dan can get the ChatGPT Image Maker on it...
News flash: Trump Derangement Syndrome is a bipartisan disease. The symptoms on both sides differ in kind but not in degree. One side is blind and desperate and the other cunning, focused and opportunistic. America is the victim. To sum up our truly existential crisis, a friend said to me recently: We’re a nation of 330 million people and the best we can do is Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
Brien , I'm not sure that doubting the ability of the presidential candidates to lead started with the two you mention: Clinton x 2, Bush x 2, Obama, Gore, McCain, Dukakis, Dole and a few others now disappeared down the memory hole, spring to mind as somewhat less than satisfactory alternatives for presiding over the worlds most powerful democracy. You gotta wonder how it comes to be?
The one modern President, John F Kennedy, who spoke many truths and most importantly wanted to end the private Federal Reserve Bank system, returning to USTreasury issued Constitutional money, was murdered. Many say the CIA was involved in the Assassination and George HW Bush was head of the CIA at the time. He was in Dallas on that day! Those alive when JFK was President will be mostly gone in the next few years. Who will bear witness to the great man he was? JFK’s speeches live on the internet. Let us hope the young are watching.
Well, I was mentioning especially bad presidents. Reagan was not a bad president, but he did squander his presidency by not shrinking the government as I thought he would. Wasted opportunity, unfortunately.
Such truth John, that in reality, we have only been given the choice between a democrat, and a socialist for the past half century. We have been the perfect example of the frog slowly being boiled to death, very much in line with the communist agenda.
Unfortunately ,we know damn well how 'it comes to be". It's just incredibly depressing that we the people have allowed it, that we did not heed the advice of our forefathers.
"I do not know whether it is to yourself or Mr. Adams I am to give my thanks for the copy of the new constitution. I beg leave through you to place them where due. It will be yet three weeks before I shall receive them from America. There are very good articles in it: and very bad. I do not know which preponderate. What we have lately read in the history of Holland, in the chapter on the Stadtholder, would have sufficed to set me against a Chief magistrate eligible for a long duration, if I had ever been disposed towards one: and what we have always read of the elections of Polish kings should have forever excluded the idea of one continuable for life. Wonderful is the effect of impudent and persevering lying. The British ministry have so long hired their gazetteers to repeat and model into every form lies about our being in anarchy, that the world has at length believed them, the English nation has believed them, the ministers themselves have come to believe them, and what is more wonderful, we have believed them ourselves. Yet where does this anarchy exist? Where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusets? And can history produce an instance of a rebellion so honourably conducted? I say nothing of it’s motives. They were founded in ignorance, not wickedness. God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13. states independant 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure. Our Convention has been too much impressed by the insurrection of Massachusets: and in the spur of the moment they are setting up a kite to keep the hen yard in order. I hope in god this article will be rectified before the new constitution is accepted".
“...and in the spur of the moment they are setting up a kite to keep the hen yard in order. I hope in god this article will be rectified before the new constitution is accepted".
Dracula politicians disguised as protectors of the populace, but with a document promulgated with pitfalls & words adapted by judicial decisions, from those elected to be gods of decisions, by the said politicians.
Mankind has moments of success but staggering capabilities to be non-constitutional, evil and destructive of all and sundry
I'm always left wondering ... what happened to the other half of the glass's contents. Not poured yet? no more content to pour? spilled? already consumed? ... or the dog ate it
"but the people really hate socialist fucktards!!"...guess you havent noticed our current government, nor the Newly Painted street at the newly named Black Lives Matter Plaza, in our Nations Capital, or the old Washington DC.
Yes Dereck, BLM is 100% communist and Chinese supported, and the day may come where you wish those 'socialist fucktards" were back in office...
How stupid to say that BLM is 100% Communist and Chinese supported. I hope that in your next life you are born Black in 1920 in Alabama. Then let's see what you say.
I suspect BB is being accused of trying to think clearly. It reminds me of something Nassim Taleb wrote in “The Bed of Procrustes.” “I suspect that they put Socrates to death because there is something terribly unattractive, alienating, and nonhuman in thinking with too much clarity.” Page 4.
I remember reading a quote from Putin stating that from his perspective U.S. government policy doesn't change from president to president. The Deep-Administrative State runs the county and has for quite some time. I'd argue that our Constitutional Republic was lost with Lincoln. You can't vote out these unelected Apparatchiks-Bureaucrats. Theses bastards are probably laughing their asses off as they see the Sheeple bitch and moan about their President. Financial calamity or Secession is the only way to rid ourselves from these parasites. I'd opt for Secession and hope we don't have another Lincoln among us knowing full well that hope's no strategy :-)
Someone wrote in the late eighties that if there was a change in Presidency/Administration but no changes to policy-there was a conspiracy taking place. I believe the writer has all the proof needed.
The left is always wondering about the half thats not there.. it’s just not fucking there period!! Don’t cry over spilt milk there’s always another cow ..
And the only non-politician has received more grief from both parties than all the other presidents put together. Step on Washington's money flow and their is no limit to the grief they will bring on you.
Yes Andre, not too many realize nor notice the current corrupt, lawless banana republic police state we now live in, and the many hundreds of billions the perps stole for themselves.
Not now, but soon the victims will awake, but much too late to help themselves...
Now that it is voting season, I got to thinking about the standard(s) I might like to use in order to better determine the candidates and/or issues I would like to vote for. But first, in order to be transparent, I should tell you that I have a personal bias whose foundation is based upon my love for Jesus and His love for me! :)
At least for now, here are the three standards I think I will use:
1. Will the candidate or issue end up costing more money? If so, vote "no"/"against" for the issue/candidate. Our culture is rapidly descending into bankruptcy and cannot afford increase our already humongous personal/national debt.
2. Will he/her or it end up favoring/elevating one group of people above another? If so, vote "no"/"against" the issue/candidate. Our current culture hungers for all-encompassing love over the hate that seems to currently permeate our so-called "advanced" culture.
3. Will he/her or it grant to EVERYONE more personal freedom in place of communal slavery? If slavery, then vote "no"/"against". Freedom to think and act, so long as it does no genuine harm to others is always to be preferred :)
you just 'select' from the list of the Uni-party's, bought and paid for, vetted 'selectees'.vs. Ethical, verified registration, Photo IDs, Written ballots, and purple dyed thumbs. One day 'selecting', and massive campaign finance reform.
Bill, since you seem to be firmly in his camp and apparently have his ear, tell us the ways in which RFK, Jr. would be doing things so much differently than The Demented One currently occupying the White House?
Yeah, Teddy Roosevelt's vote splitting gave us the progressive POS Woodrow Wilson. We're still dealing with that dumpster fire some 111 years later. We sure don't want to see that history repeat :-)
Yes Pete, like Trump or Hillary, Obama or Romney, Obama or McCain, Bush or Kerry, Bush or Gore....on and on the deciet goes, where it ends, we will all see soon enough...
DJ: Or the demented one who lost the last election..and claimed he didn't. Still trying to hang on to anything. RFK, Jr. is still a mystery. Don't think he is strong enough or smart enough...Time will tell; but I wouldn't bet the bank.
I sort of enjoyed "Energy Independence", "Closed Border", "No Russian Invasion of Ukraine", "No War in the Middle East", "Elimination of Islamic Caliphate", "Tax Cuts" and "Less Crime". But what do I know.
Geez, Jim. You didn't call Bill an idiot or even worse - just presented facts. Bill won't be able to add your comments to his pity-party post.

Ha, Ha! Delusional would be a very nice way of putting it.
JPG: I'll be nice and won't state my opinion of you...but it's not good!
Hey John. I made the mistake of engaging her two times in the past. I will never do it again! It is an exercise in frustration, the liberals see what they want to see.

No Alex, I didn't so bite me.

GREAT POST - 10,000 upvotes and one question, Mr. Mac:
Will it ever be profitable for the vipers to throw their "support" behind straight, white, Christian males?
Not gonna hold my breath, but we deserve a turn too...
Congress has the power of the purse, not the President, although he sets policy.
Congress is so irresponsible that almost every President since FDR resorts to constitutionally illegal Executive Orders to legislate from the White House.
I hope speaker Johnson leads a movement to Repeal all unconstitutional laws,starting with the patriot act and ending with EO’s.
I'm still hoping to see Bigfoot riding a Unicorn too.
Hi Alex -
I meant to ask about that a couple of days ago - I would love to see that, though with the addition of pigs in flight departing from Bigfoot's hind quarters. Maybe Dan can get the ChatGPT Image Maker on it...
90% of what our government does is unconstitutional, so good luck with that. By I agree with you wholeheartedly.
True, but we have to start somewhere or all hope is lost...
You should lose all hope in salvation by man, since it's an impossibility, and let God save you. He's good at it, and you will be so much happier.
The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer.
-Henry Kissinger
News flash: Trump Derangement Syndrome is a bipartisan disease. The symptoms on both sides differ in kind but not in degree. One side is blind and desperate and the other cunning, focused and opportunistic. America is the victim. To sum up our truly existential crisis, a friend said to me recently: We’re a nation of 330 million people and the best we can do is Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
Brien , I'm not sure that doubting the ability of the presidential candidates to lead started with the two you mention: Clinton x 2, Bush x 2, Obama, Gore, McCain, Dukakis, Dole and a few others now disappeared down the memory hole, spring to mind as somewhat less than satisfactory alternatives for presiding over the worlds most powerful democracy. You gotta wonder how it comes to be?
And don't forget Carter, Nixon, Truman, Wilson, Hoover, and the worse of all - FDR. Just an unending string of bad presidents.
You forgot Reagan. He talked a good game, but raised the debt more than all before him.
The one modern President, John F Kennedy, who spoke many truths and most importantly wanted to end the private Federal Reserve Bank system, returning to USTreasury issued Constitutional money, was murdered. Many say the CIA was involved in the Assassination and George HW Bush was head of the CIA at the time. He was in Dallas on that day! Those alive when JFK was President will be mostly gone in the next few years. Who will bear witness to the great man he was? JFK’s speeches live on the internet. Let us hope the young are watching.
John, it's starting to look like the only one we're all a bit scared to throw into the mix is Reagan!!
Well, I was mentioning especially bad presidents. Reagan was not a bad president, but he did squander his presidency by not shrinking the government as I thought he would. Wasted opportunity, unfortunately.
Such truth John, that in reality, we have only been given the choice between a democrat, and a socialist for the past half century. We have been the perfect example of the frog slowly being boiled to death, very much in line with the communist agenda.
Unfortunately ,we know damn well how 'it comes to be". It's just incredibly depressing that we the people have allowed it, that we did not heed the advice of our forefathers.
"I do not know whether it is to yourself or Mr. Adams I am to give my thanks for the copy of the new constitution. I beg leave through you to place them where due. It will be yet three weeks before I shall receive them from America. There are very good articles in it: and very bad. I do not know which preponderate. What we have lately read in the history of Holland, in the chapter on the Stadtholder, would have sufficed to set me against a Chief magistrate eligible for a long duration, if I had ever been disposed towards one: and what we have always read of the elections of Polish kings should have forever excluded the idea of one continuable for life. Wonderful is the effect of impudent and persevering lying. The British ministry have so long hired their gazetteers to repeat and model into every form lies about our being in anarchy, that the world has at length believed them, the English nation has believed them, the ministers themselves have come to believe them, and what is more wonderful, we have believed them ourselves. Yet where does this anarchy exist? Where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusets? And can history produce an instance of a rebellion so honourably conducted? I say nothing of it’s motives. They were founded in ignorance, not wickedness. God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13. states independant 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure. Our Convention has been too much impressed by the insurrection of Massachusets: and in the spur of the moment they are setting up a kite to keep the hen yard in order. I hope in god this article will be rectified before the new constitution is accepted".
“...and in the spur of the moment they are setting up a kite to keep the hen yard in order. I hope in god this article will be rectified before the new constitution is accepted".
Dracula politicians disguised as protectors of the populace, but with a document promulgated with pitfalls & words adapted by judicial decisions, from those elected to be gods of decisions, by the said politicians.
Mankind has moments of success but staggering capabilities to be non-constitutional, evil and destructive of all and sundry
Hi Steve -
I've never seen the full quote. Thank you for taking the time...
No argument
Orangeman bad!! Rinse and repeat!! Common you can do better!!
Energy independence
Lowest unemployment across the board
No new wars
DT was surrounded by deep state he had road blocks everywhere he turned..
we’re in a better place now ?!?!
Wtf!!
Stick to economics.. your good at that.
Love your readings and wisdom when it comes to financial issues.. but the people really hate socialist fucktards!!
Your glass is half empty
Mine is half full!!
Good job
I'm going to go out on a limb and say you really didn't get Mr. Bonner's essay.
Meh - I think he did, for the most part...
I'm always left wondering ... what happened to the other half of the glass's contents. Not poured yet? no more content to pour? spilled? already consumed? ... or the dog ate it
"but the people really hate socialist fucktards!!"...guess you havent noticed our current government, nor the Newly Painted street at the newly named Black Lives Matter Plaza, in our Nations Capital, or the old Washington DC.
Yes Dereck, BLM is 100% communist and Chinese supported, and the day may come where you wish those 'socialist fucktards" were back in office...
How stupid to say that BLM is 100% Communist and Chinese supported. I hope that in your next life you are born Black in 1920 in Alabama. Then let's see what you say.
Saying 100% is unscientific. It's more accurate to say 99.9%.
P.S. Reincarnation is not scientific, and impossible.
that some strong language mate .. have a cuppa and chill down ..
Just the facts🤔
SL: Not facts...just supposition (and not a good one at that).
I suspect BB is being accused of trying to think clearly. It reminds me of something Nassim Taleb wrote in “The Bed of Procrustes.” “I suspect that they put Socrates to death because there is something terribly unattractive, alienating, and nonhuman in thinking with too much clarity.” Page 4.
By Saudi’s you mean the CIA and Mossad?
Quiet you...
I remember reading a quote from Putin stating that from his perspective U.S. government policy doesn't change from president to president. The Deep-Administrative State runs the county and has for quite some time. I'd argue that our Constitutional Republic was lost with Lincoln. You can't vote out these unelected Apparatchiks-Bureaucrats. Theses bastards are probably laughing their asses off as they see the Sheeple bitch and moan about their President. Financial calamity or Secession is the only way to rid ourselves from these parasites. I'd opt for Secession and hope we don't have another Lincoln among us knowing full well that hope's no strategy :-)
I’m from Texas and so I vote secede!
BUH-BY!
Hell yeah! People should hang over that circus on the border.
Someone wrote in the late eighties that if there was a change in Presidency/Administration but no changes to policy-there was a conspiracy taking place. I believe the writer has all the proof needed.
Bill no matter what BPR is still worth the price of subscription and leaves the rest of the noise way behind .. keep at it mate ..!
The left is always wondering about the half thats not there.. it’s just not fucking there period!! Don’t cry over spilt milk there’s always another cow ..
bush -deep state career politician
Obama- deep state career politician
Trump- businessman ..no prior political career
H Clinton -career politician
Fn Biden- career loser politician
Great choices we have..
Maybe I’m getting off track..
It is “we the people “
Did I forget closed borders &
Law and order…
It seems to be an endless conversation ,
No hard feelings..
Until we comment again!!
And the only non-politician has received more grief from both parties than all the other presidents put together. Step on Washington's money flow and their is no limit to the grief they will bring on you.
Let’s step on ‘em..
Gold and silver my friend
DS: Trump- businessman and a not so honest one...watch the trials. Biden- long time politician who should retire and not run again.
Sham trials!! How pathetic! But wait !!
Let’s try this and see if we can get him on this , no wait try this , oh darn. Try this try that .. why comment
DS: Hahaha. If you believe these are Sham trials...you don't read much.
"A small group of (mostly) Saudis, on a limited budget, launched a spectacular attack on the heart of American capitalism."
Actually it was the CIA and Mossad among others that coordinated and launched said spectacular attack.
It was rehtorical, me belives.
And their motive for this attack?
Hmmm...it doesn't take much imagination. Pro tip: the path to enlightenment begins by first turning off your TV.
Yes Andre, not too many realize nor notice the current corrupt, lawless banana republic police state we now live in, and the many hundreds of billions the perps stole for themselves.
Not now, but soon the victims will awake, but much too late to help themselves...
Motive$$$
When you warn of impending destruction, the vast majority will call you a party pooper. Or worse.
Now that it is voting season, I got to thinking about the standard(s) I might like to use in order to better determine the candidates and/or issues I would like to vote for. But first, in order to be transparent, I should tell you that I have a personal bias whose foundation is based upon my love for Jesus and His love for me! :)
At least for now, here are the three standards I think I will use:
1. Will the candidate or issue end up costing more money? If so, vote "no"/"against" for the issue/candidate. Our culture is rapidly descending into bankruptcy and cannot afford increase our already humongous personal/national debt.
2. Will he/her or it end up favoring/elevating one group of people above another? If so, vote "no"/"against" the issue/candidate. Our current culture hungers for all-encompassing love over the hate that seems to currently permeate our so-called "advanced" culture.
3. Will he/her or it grant to EVERYONE more personal freedom in place of communal slavery? If slavery, then vote "no"/"against". Freedom to think and act, so long as it does no genuine harm to others is always to be preferred :)
So...you're not voting for anyone? Cause Ron Paul is no longer running for anything.
Alex: What a shame. He was Great; his son..Not so much.
you just 'select' from the list of the Uni-party's, bought and paid for, vetted 'selectees'.vs. Ethical, verified registration, Photo IDs, Written ballots, and purple dyed thumbs. One day 'selecting', and massive campaign finance reform.
Bill's depressing summary of how the nation got in the hole in which its mired makes me wonder exactly how we're going to get out of it
Clearly, our government can't keep borrowing its way to prosperity, especially at ever increasing interest rates
There are a lot of people frolicking in the Federal trough. The ones in the US will become angry voters when they're expelled from it
Bill, since you seem to be firmly in his camp and apparently have his ear, tell us the ways in which RFK, Jr. would be doing things so much differently than The Demented One currently occupying the White House?
JFK Jr. is dead !!!
RFK is a vote splitter ... like Teddy Roosevelt was.
I do admire RFK's anti-war, and vaccine complication/adverse events studies/analysis.
Yeah, Teddy Roosevelt's vote splitting gave us the progressive POS Woodrow Wilson. We're still dealing with that dumpster fire some 111 years later. We sure don't want to see that history repeat :-)
Absolutely correct… My hopes is that RFK siphons off of the Democrats. At least we will get the lesser of two evils. Definitely not perfect.
But, but, but, its stil EVIL.
Yes Pete, like Trump or Hillary, Obama or Romney, Obama or McCain, Bush or Kerry, Bush or Gore....on and on the deciet goes, where it ends, we will all see soon enough...
you forgot Ron Paul but then so did everybody else sadly ..
Ok maybe 1. And that says alot !
The last hope for America? We have DeSantis, but it doesn’t matter at this point, the game is over and America lost…
A: Sad, very sad.
Sad but true no matter where one looks.
Sorry, it's fixed now (typed too fast without a reread to edit). The point of my question has more to do with Bill than it does RFK, Jr.
DJ: Or the demented one who lost the last election..and claimed he didn't. Still trying to hang on to anything. RFK, Jr. is still a mystery. Don't think he is strong enough or smart enough...Time will tell; but I wouldn't bet the bank.
