Debt piles up at the rate of $8+ billion per day; the day of reckoning comes closer. Day after day, the feds must finance and refinance more debt. Mathematically, there is no way this story ends well.
If we had a professional press instead of mindless propagandists they would be asking the candidates this question of how they are going to address our out of control debt and spending. In Harris's case she held no open interviews only scripted affairs. I knew the Fed and the treasury had to keep the faltering economy and stock market bubble from bursting prior to the election but after today who knows.
Let’s hope that it does burst…..bring on the day of reckoning that is clearly inevitable and then force the powers that be to face up to results of their pathetic spending and fiscal mismanagement habits. I must admit to a sense of evil curiosity when I wish this. To watch our erudite leaders manage and attempt to repair the unraveling of so many bad decisions would be wryly amusing. Please forgive me for self indulgence……
"erudite leaders manage and attempt to repair the unraveling of so many bad decisions..."
That's not their plan, not at all. They will walk away counting their loot and whistling while they and their media whores blame the entire fiasco on Trump and his attached garbage people. And the moron leftardes will buy it completely because it's what they want to hear - facts and evidence be damned. As usual...
I believe that if/when that “day of reckoning” comes there will be a giant clamp down on liberty. J6 was a small preview of the government’s reaction to insubordination, (real or imagined). The Jacobins are not about to lose control over the populace.
No need for that. Since the day it started, 1913, 1933, 1965, 1971 (pick your start date, doesn't matter which; they all get you to same place), they never intended to "address" it, much less "fix" or "stop" it. How do I know? It would have happened by now, because the address, fix, and stop are SIMPLE to do. Best always. PM
Repeating myself. It is pathetic, yet I do it anyway.
Liberty comes from a Latin root meaning "unbound". Liberty emphasizes the importance of agency, individual rights, autonomy and the limitations of government power.
What do you want? To be handcuffed tax-payers which is to be **turnspit dogs. Indentured servitude.
I guess Bill is part of the establishment. The rants are boring, but fun to read. When the reckoning comes, we are going to see Harris melt like a pad of butter right in front of us. Could she possibly blame Trump for that?
Yea seems she always knows what Trump is thinking and what he will do. I think she'd have a lot better chance if she thought a bit more about what she would do.
Maybe not one-sided but disingenuous nonetheless. Anyone who can't see the difference, or pretends NOT to see the difference, between Kommie Kamala and Mr. Trump is not helping. His premise that it doesn't make any difference in the long run may be correct, but I'm not interested in the long run, anymore. If what he says is right, I'd just as soon Kommie Kamala win, and we go full-bore commie right now and get it over with. We'll see. Best always. PM
I don't agree. I don't want to go full commie. Socialism take decades, centuries to undo. and then everyone loses their freedom in the mean time. Look at Argentina and China. Argentina retained democracy where as China is totally authoritarian with re-indoctrination and lost body parts.
But I must admit I want a financial collapse to force realization on the political elite, those who think they are controlling the economy. On the other hand I don't want it for my kids and grandkids. I suppose I hope for a superficial financial collapse where economic realization occurs but not the collateral damage. Foolish hope; because I suspect the result would be drastically more spending and printing and more of what we've been experiencing lately.
Obviously, I was being facetious, and obviously my subtlety failed. I argue here daily against our trending to our ultimate destination, which is communism. There is no escaping the inevitable result: Bonner says, over and over, ad nauseam, there is no difference. I don't agree, but, if Bonner is right, and I'm wrong, skip the drama and give me what's coming. If there's no difference, why fight? Best always. PM
C'mon gentlemen! I agree with what could be the current destination, but that DOES NOT MAKE IT A FORGONE CONCLUSION!!
Not take up the fight when it truly matters and is the last resort??! WTF? Fine, I guess. Steel your Resolve to give up just when your actions and attitudes matter the most. Unbelievable and pathetic. All your guns, PMs and preps are apparently theater - thank God there are millions of American Veterans and Patriots who keenly understand what is happening/who is behind it and refuse to shrug our shoulders and roll over.
Go back to bed, Grandpas. We'll wake you when it's time to either load the boxcars or thank us for saving the pathetic remnants of our Republic...
You are right on point. Too many want to give up. The task ahead is not easy. It requires rational thought and rational policies. I think if more people read Ayn Rand back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, we would be in a better place. No giving up with that genius as she laid the foundation of what it would take to live in a rational and rights respecting society.
These Grandpa's, Me included can see a a thing or 2. If You think You will be able to pick up the pieces of the world let alone North America after all that will come , I say good on You. The cycle has to complete and it is not a good cycle. The ending will be but in between now and then is where You and I are . I do not think that Us old timers have given up, but You can not beat Your head against a wall and expect different out comes. Now I speak for Me , the other old timers can agree or disagree.. You probably will also disagree and that is fine with Me, as it should be. All can not be right and all cannot be wrong.
Thank you for the replies, on and off record. I apologize if I offended or angered anyone - I was trying to make a crystal-clear point. None of you (whom I read and agree with so frequently) seem like quitters to me. I wanted to illustrate that the time for strategizing, war-gaming and what-iffing is just about over. The next 90 days will likely call for active, concrete measures if we are to save what's left of America. Preparing is one thing - being solidly ready to make things happen is another...
Lolol, come on brother Starboard, you know that me and Paul are both being facetious, and of course would fight against any outside threat! It’s just so difficult when the communist assault is from within, and control so much of our society. Fight as long as we can, and we still have hope, but we all know our time is fleeting…
I have thought about getting it over with as well, but if she wins there's about a 90% chance of never seeing a republican in office again.. 20-30 mil illegals will be given citizenship... Pray hard for America...
DH: If you listen to what Harris said: she wants both Rep., and Dem in the White House to work together. Trump doesn’t. You all need to listen to her speeches now and again. So, where do you get your figures of 20-30 millions of illegals will be given citizenship? Probably from Trump. He lies continually and obviously you don’t do fact checking.
What about killing babies, mutilating children's bodies, grown men going in women's locker rooms where little girls might be, after they just beat a woman at a boxing match.. oh cant forget all this pronoun crap!!!The only deals she would make would be with the devil!!! I pray for your soul ladies (can you define a woman??)
DH: What about killing babies, mutilating children bodied, etc.,etc. Have you been drinking??Some Things like that came up when discussing Roe vs. Wade. Not understanding your questions concerning a woman at a boxing match; the pronoun crap!! The only deals she would make would be with devil??? You can ask your mother or wife to define a woman…they have had the experience. Good luck to you!
Agree Paul, at this late stage of the game, a full blown Chinese communist takeover would definitely improve our sick and demented society. First to be executed or forced into work camps would be the Elites and traitor government officials who supported it, followed by the educators, professors, media traitors, entertainers, men In women’s sports, and prisoners. Last but not least would be the millions of “Useful Idiots” and useless breathers that have backed this coup for their own pitiful benefit over Country. Yes Paul, most of the above are democrats, but can we imagine a world without them 🤔 Unfortunately this is the only solution for a corrupt dying country, and we the people who have worked hard, loved our country and did the right thing will continue to do so under a government that will reward our actions over the mentally and morally corrupt left wing 🤔
SL: Why don’t you do some fact checking. The mentally and corrupt wing is some of your Republicans. Trump and the MAGA republicans will be our country’s downfall.
It seems we head toward socialism and then communism. It has always sounded rather utopian. Certainly society needs to try the easy stuff before they can go Argentinian.
The problem with Bonner is that he sees things from a 50,000-foot view, which, of course, makes everything look the same. But at least in some rare bout of sanity today, he acknowledged Biden's and Harris' complicity in the problem.
Sitting here waiting for results, I am terrified. Harris provides a total collapse of the system. Just an open border will destroy the country or cause civil war. And while I think maybe four more years of disaster will finally make American see the light, I’m afraid it will be too late to repair the damage. On the other side, if Trump wins, depending on the results in congress, it may be impossible to repair enough damage to keep him from being blamed (as usual) four years down the road. Close the border. Drill. Shut down Iran. After that? God help us all.
If I remember correctly...it is the responsibility of the wealthy, the elite, the governing class to entertain the poor, the ignorant, the simple. It is our responsibility to prepare the insults, the rotten vegetables and the occasional dead, stinking raccoons to pelt them with. So during the 'show' we should be diligent in sharpening the hoes and axes, straighting the pitchfork tines, and saturating the torches; maybe heating the tar and plucking the chickens. After the upper class scurry to their bolt-holes, I hope to come along and weld their steel doors shut and sh!t in the ventilation shafts. Then cultivate the crops and care for the livestock. I may be and hope to be simple but I'm not stupid.
Please share a couple or a few links you think are indicative of the media melt down you’re seeing.
There is a lot more (8 specific steps in the process) yet to happen in the U.S.
#1 The people have voted Election Day, registered voters in each state cast their ballots not directly for presidential candidates but for a slate of State’s electors pledged to those candidates. Each state has a number of electors equal to its total number of Senators and Representatives in Congress, plus three electors from Washington, D.C., as established by the 23rd Amendment.
#2 Determining Elector Votes
After the general election, each state counts its popular votes. Most states use a “winner-takes-all” approach, where the candidate receiving the most votes in that state gets all of its electoral votes. However, Maine and Nebraska allocate some electoral votes based on congressional district outcomes.
#3 The electors from each state convene on the 1st Monday after the 2nd Wednesday in December following the election (in 2024, this will be December 17). During this meeting, they formally cast their electoral votes for president and vice president.
Thats it for now from me until I can think about the rest of what is still ahead.
Okay, got some ☕️coffee☕️ in me now, here is a little more.
#4 Certification of Votes - Once the electors have cast their votes, they prepare official documents “certifying their results”.
#5 Submission of certification - The certified results must be sent to several parties:
The President of the Senate (who is the current sitting Vice President AND who’s is also presidential candidate Harris),
The National Archives and Records Administration,
The federal court with jurisdiction over each state’s capital,
State officials.
These certificates must arrive in Washington, D.C., by December 25 following the election.
Now, this is where thing can go wrong for a President Elect
#6 Counting Electoral Votes
On January 6 following the election (in 2025), Congress meets in a joint session to count these electoral votes. The Vice President (Harris, who is the presiding President of the Senate) presides over this session and opens each state’s certificate one by one while members from both chambers tally them.
#7 Declaring Results …and this is where things can go even more wrong for a President Elect… it can get really twisted
Hi Mark, thanks for the reminder on that complicated procedure. Had a deep dive into the matter following 2020 elections.
With respect to your question:
Public broadcasters, forcibly financed by each citizen* with a home are huge in GER and much more dominant than e.g. NPR.
They're parroting the government policies as long as they are leftist.
Sorry to sound highly biased but there's tons of evidence for their preference.
They covered the election for almost 24hours and it was a unlimited bashing of Tump turning into whining if not signs of panic the clearer the figures came in.
So for sure the biggest share of viewers were served with that menu
They get close to 10 billion USD per year from the population. (Except homeless and refugees)
I have been left scratching my head in wonderment more than once.
If Soros & Son have money to burn and their payola can induce some sorts of civil unrest to put the blame game propaganda factories to work on a false flag? Maybe
Hallo Petra, this is not so much in media per se. Here’s what I’ve been reading. Any thoughts?
Original Source Attribution - Germany Gov’t First Shake-Up With Trump Victory
Posted Nov 6, 2024 By Martin Armstrong
Germany is the first real casualty of Trump’s victory. Europe is also turning to the right, rejecting the same losing leftist policy spouted out by Harris. Chancellor Olaf Scholz just fired Finance Minister Christian Lindner, putting at risk the collapse of the German ruling coalition between the SPD and the Greens after three years. There have been differences in the budget and economic policy positions between the two factions. Lindner’s departure could lead to the FDP exiting the coalition.
Lindner of the FDP issued a paper that outlined his vision to revive the German economy. However, it argued against both fundamental positions of the SPD and the Green party. Hence, the German Finance Minister Christian Lindner has realized that the solutions undermine the socialist and green agendas. His paper provided a practical attempt to analyze Germany’s problems facing Germany. However, it argues that they have been unable to agree upon a 2025 budget, which still had a funding gap of several billion euros and was still being negotiated. The deadline for the budget was set for later this month.
Dear Mark, that is quite accurate. The German liberal party FDP once was the herald for a strong and independent market approach, avoiding gov. overreach etc..
Those times are long gone.
They're as woke and ”green” as all other parties, considered to be establishment.
Only one exception existing. Alternative for GER, AFD.
So in the past almost three years the FDP supported almost any motion of the coalition partners, even the most controversial to their alleged “values”.
The last four regional elections saw them reduced to “other parties” so not even worth mentioning the individual results.
Of course a huge wake up call but much to late. So Scholz, the chancellor just shortcut the nuisance. He himself is anyway a puppet.
Something else. The president of Germany is another SPD-Shill who is about the most shameful individuals to ever play that role.
His five minute statement to Trump's win is a pure imposition and disastrous example of anti diplomacy.
The puppet doesn't have a thought, only the words that she is instructed to say. That's the only reason Biden is not here, he couldn't remember the words.
Finally, we get an equal critical evaluation of the "other" canidate. Obviously, as Bill indicates, the gates of hell are about to open with one canidate and may be delayed with the other. It's the old story, "you can pay now or pay later, but you are going to pay". The problem is how many months or "years" will we pay. Let's pray that Tom's scenario of the bottom will be the Dow/Gold ratio of 5. The "big" question is when will we finally get a comparable leader like the current Argentina president. We've had some in the past, so hope springs eternal.
I didn't say any of what we have will be it. Maybe, the closest we may have is Vivak but until this debt is cleared (one way or the other), nothing much will change financially, except get worse.
I dunno. I found the article through substack, then navigated to BPR's site itself and read it, but it's still not showing up on the Home page and get this - it appears that Comments are turned off for today's missive?
Bill, I'd like to hear more about what Milei has done in Argentina. How would that be duplicated here in the U.S.? What would that look like, what would be the consequences - positive and negative?
Idealism sets one up for disappointment. Many of us look at the promise of the ideals that formed America. We see that promise evaporate. One reaction is to kiss the expected results goodbye, throwing our hopes into the fires of destruction. That is sad.
The smart guys seem to have no appreciation of magic. Here is a prediction of the rabbit that Trump is going to pull out of the hat. He is going to provide all the promised tax cuts, balance the budget with room to begin paying off the national debt. He will do this by using Musk as the independent observer / expert and then slash a few trillion off government expenditures. Really straightforward and simple but unexpected.
That ain't happenin'. But maybe, just maybe, as Trump begins to do what he said he would and Life improves for all Americans - Dottie will let go of some of the Hate and Envy...
SE: You always think the worst of anyone who disagrees with you. Let’s wait and see what Trump will really do while president. No Hate or Envy on my part. Disagreement yes, Envy—Never.
If we had a professional press instead of mindless propagandists they would be asking the candidates this question of how they are going to address our out of control debt and spending. In Harris's case she held no open interviews only scripted affairs. I knew the Fed and the treasury had to keep the faltering economy and stock market bubble from bursting prior to the election but after today who knows.
Let’s hope that it does burst…..bring on the day of reckoning that is clearly inevitable and then force the powers that be to face up to results of their pathetic spending and fiscal mismanagement habits. I must admit to a sense of evil curiosity when I wish this. To watch our erudite leaders manage and attempt to repair the unraveling of so many bad decisions would be wryly amusing. Please forgive me for self indulgence……
"erudite leaders manage and attempt to repair the unraveling of so many bad decisions..."
That's not their plan, not at all. They will walk away counting their loot and whistling while they and their media whores blame the entire fiasco on Trump and his attached garbage people.

Yeah the leftardes dont care what happens, as long as they get socialsm, or something that seams like it.
I believe that if/when that “day of reckoning” comes there will be a giant clamp down on liberty. J6 was a small preview of the government’s reaction to insubordination, (real or imagined). The Jacobins are not about to lose control over the populace.
No need for that. Since the day it started, 1913, 1933, 1965, 1971 (pick your start date, doesn't matter which; they all get you to same place), they never intended to "address" it, much less "fix" or "stop" it. How do I know? It would have happened by now, because the address, fix, and stop are SIMPLE to do. Best always. PM
Repeating myself. It is pathetic, yet I do it anyway.
Liberty comes from a Latin root meaning "unbound". Liberty emphasizes the importance of agency, individual rights, autonomy and the limitations of government power.

Hence, the German Finance Minister Christian Lindner has realized that the solutions undermine the socialist and green agendas. His paper provided a practical attempt to analyze Germany’s problems facing Germany. However, it argues that they have been unable to agree upon a 2025 budget, which still had a funding gap of several billion euros and was still being negotiated. The deadline for the budget was set for later this month.
Gute Nacht

Dear Mark, that is quite accurate. The German liberal party FDP once was the herald for a strong and independent market approach, avoiding gov. overreach etc..
Those times are long gone.
They're as woke and ”green” as all other parties, considered to be establishment.
Only one exception existing. Alternative for GER, AFD.
So in the past almost three years the FDP supported almost any motion of the coalition partners, even the most controversial to their alleged “values”.
The last four regional elections saw them reduced to “other parties” so not even worth mentioning the individual results.
Of course a huge wake up call but much to late. So Scholz, the chancellor just shortcut the nuisance. He himself is anyway a puppet.
Something else. The president of Germany is another SPD-Shill who is about the most shameful individuals to ever play that role.
His five minute statement to Trump's win is a pure imposition and disastrous example of anti diplomacy.
That hunk was foreign minister before…..
The puppet doesn't have a thought, only the words that she is instructed to say. That's the only reason Biden is not here, he couldn't remember the words.
Finally, we get an equal critical evaluation of the "other" canidate. Obviously, as Bill indicates, the gates of hell are about to open with one canidate and may be delayed with the other. It's the old story, "you can pay now or pay later, but you are going to pay". The problem is how many months or "years" will we pay. Let's pray that Tom's scenario of the bottom will be the Dow/Gold ratio of 5. The "big" question is when will we finally get a comparable leader like the current Argentina president. We've had some in the past, so hope springs eternal.
"Comparable leader" ... all three are publicly avowed zio-bots.
Does that work 4 U ??
I didn't say any of what we have will be it. Maybe, the closest we may have is Vivak but until this debt is cleared (one way or the other), nothing much will change financially, except get worse.
How's the Team at BPR feeling right now?
Two are up, One is feigning apathy...
Welllll brother, Mr Bonner writes today, “Beer still goes flat.”
lol, that’s a “flat” out fact :)
Oh man… it still drinkable :/
As my uncle would say , “It’s mind over matter” …ya don’t mind, it don’t matter…
Cheers,
Mark
Hi Mark -
For some reason I'm not seeing today's post on the BPR homepage. Weird, but it has happened before...
I got Bonner’s email and I didn’t see it on line either.
But, I don’t get emails from Dyson and Denning now, and I used to before
I don’t know there’s gotta be a glitch somewhere …we are too nice to be censored, right.
I dunno. I found the article through substack, then navigated to BPR's site itself and read it, but it's still not showing up on the Home page and get this - it appears that Comments are turned off for today's missive?
Aside from comments here on BPR; I was listening to Jim Rickards’ give his post election day commentary while I was reading Marty Armstrong.
Seems the district of corruption crowd and the smoke filled room hats behind the scenes didn’t sleep last night and are hard at work.
Especially (round up of usual suspects) Jamie Raskin and Hakeem Jefferies. We’ll see soon enough, eh.

I guess that is possible.
I don’t know, does BPR make money on clicks?
If so, it makes more sense to open the floodgates.

Nyt needle up to 73% for Trump.
I reckon I'll call it for Trump. 88% on the needle now.
Bill, I'd like to hear more about what Milei has done in Argentina. How would that be duplicated here in the U.S.? What would that look like, what would be the consequences - positive and negative?
Idealism sets one up for disappointment. Many of us look at the promise of the ideals that formed America. We see that promise evaporate. One reaction is to kiss the expected results goodbye, throwing our hopes into the fires of destruction. That is sad.
The smart guys seem to have no appreciation of magic. Here is a prediction of the rabbit that Trump is going to pull out of the hat. He is going to provide all the promised tax cuts, balance the budget with room to begin paying off the national debt. He will do this by using Musk as the independent observer / expert and then slash a few trillion off government expenditures. Really straightforward and simple but unexpected.
I don't believe it. Almost, just almost, an endorsement for Trump?
DJH: Hard to tell.
How about you right now fellow BPR - Subscriber?
That ain't happenin'. But maybe, just maybe, as Trump begins to do what he said he would and Life improves for all Americans - Dottie will let go of some of the Hate and Envy...
SE: You always think the worst of anyone who disagrees with you. Let’s wait and see what Trump will really do while president. No Hate or Envy on my part. Disagreement yes, Envy—Never.
