Might want to rethink this, Bill. "So far, it is more like a girl fight in a high school corridor than Gettysburg or Stalingrad." In 30 years of education I broke up a few fights. Only one got buttons ripped off my shirt and blood on me. That was two tenth grade girls. Hell hath no fury . . .

In my experience the guys posture for longer to allow adults to intervene. The girls? They fight like wildcats and go from 0-60 in 1.4 seconds.

I learned how this turns out when I was 10 years old watching Hulk Hoagan screaming in the square ring about Andre the Giant and what he was going to do to him in the next steel cage match. Entertainment at it's best... and Deja vu all over again... and just like that Hulk and Andre would meet at the Waffle House over breakfast and laugh about their public twist .. and how much money they were both making.. what a joke this all is.

Hey Brian. His name was Chris and I thank you for the condolences Trust me when I say he was a character! I picked him up at the airport He had flown the red-eye home from LA. His forehead looked like a road map as he had to cut himself several times during the match. As they as they say in the business "red brings green".😂😂

Oh BIlly, Billy, Billy - once again your ability to mislead is astounding. Whilst i agree with your “Girl Fight” analysis, it would do wonders for your reputation, at least to those of us whom follow you, to for once, quit your bitching and demonstrate the alternative ways one could go about correcting past wrongs, namely:

1. How would you go about getting all the criminal illegals (although they are all criminal, I’m specifically talking about the “Criminals” sent from foreign prisons to get rid of that cost to their respective regimes?) Keep in mind you are up against the idiotic Democrats who want them to stay and have due process. This despite the fact that thier own Billy Clinton signed into law legal deportation of illegals without due process. Look it up. So how would you go about it without the support, (in fact the opposite) of people like Amy K., Gavin.N., Cory B. And others.

Answer:

2. Foreign Affairs, what will the great Bill Bonner due differently with the Intransigent Putin? How do you handle a relationship you thought you had, when the other party basically flips you off? Gaza, simply let the hostages go, no, eat my ammo. - what could be done differently?

Answer:

3. Iran - Obstinate yet weak, facing a big stick, in order to keep a lid on nukes, they don’t give a shit. Having served in the Military as part of the 1980 rescue mission, i can first hand tell you it is not the people. We had allies in country, these people hate the regime and will do anything to aid anyone (including Israel) to take the regime out. So tell me Billy, what would you do, what is the solution?

Answer:

I’ll bet we go on with more left wing rhetoric from you, full of bluster attacking the Trump Administration. Could it be you agree with the left and support a borderless USA? Could it be you want the US to continue sending munitions to Ukraine, could it be you support Hamas? Your months of TDS posts surely support someone taking this position.

I remember when the people spoke, the opposition party generally supported the executive branch, not on everything but certainly not as publicly - definitely not supporting violent protest. Frankly, he (President Trump) is doing everything most of us voted for, the left just don’t get it. They are way down in every demographic yet persist in selling their b-u-l-l-s-h-i-t, despite very, very few buyers. When will they learn? When will you become part of the solution vice pumping out more and more propaganda.

Perhaps you think you are in good company, you know, Tokyo Rose, Jane Fonda, John Kerry? If you don’t, that would be difficult to tell by your posts.

We’ll wait for answers, however, I suspect they will go unanswered, because you don’t have any. Just more anti-Trump rhetoric. I fully think you prefer the cadaver Biden, or should I say his unelected staff (auto pen) and of Course the fake dr. Jill.

We’re waiting….

This isn’t a girl fight. It is the fight of two brothers. When brothers fight, all gloves are off and they both know what hurts the other one. Things getsaid that are very dofficult to take back regardless of the desire to do so. A pause in the relationship is usually the best therapy.

Talking about a “girl fight”, who ever is writing this nonsense sounds like the typical teenage spoiled girl, who relentlessly attacks the innocent little girl who isn’t part of her mean girl crowd. I knew the assault on Trump would be relentless, but this insanity has no bounds, and like the left wing criminals and illegals in LA, needs to be fully vaccinated 😊

In the blackest recesses of American political theater, somewhere between a hallucination brought on by expired gas station sushi and the final season of a reality show that should’ve been canceled two presidencies ago, two juggernauts clash: The Iron Visionary and The Dream Peddler. On one side, Sir Elon Musk, the techno-mystic paladin with emerald dust in his veins and rocket fuel in his soul, responding to threats of subsidy-snatching with the energy of a cybernetic Dirty Harry: “Go ahead, make my day.” He builds empires in space while the swamp dwellers on Earth scream about nationalizing his life’s work, because apparently success is un-American unless it’s wrapped in red tape and incompetence. Meanwhile, the peanut gallery, featuring Steve Bannon, who looks like a cursed scarecrow brought to life by resentment and beard oil, calls for Musk’s deportation. Presumably to Mars, where the work ethic might finally match the ambition.

Then there’s Trump, the Orange Oracle, the Barnum of Broken Promises, master of the magical illusion known as “policy.” Like a cosmic dreamcatcher who never bothers to clean it, he weaves fantastical visions of greatness from the hot breath of rally crowds, only to leave nothing but glittery disappointment in his wake. “Big, Beautiful Budget Abomination” isn’t just a bill, it’s a fever dream stitched together from pork, platitudes, and the ghosts of bankrupt casinos. His party, now less a coalition and more a group therapy session for power addicts, splinters into MAGA cultists, RINO appeasers, and a few trembling relics of Reaganomics whispering “balanced budgets” into the void. The Republican identity crisis isn’t a crisis, it’s a full-blown séance, with everyone pretending the corpse of conservatism might still twitch. And through it all, America barrels toward fiscal oblivion, while its political elite slap-fight in the hallway like rejected Real Housewives extras, hoping someone’s livestreaming.

Jim, I hear what you’re saying but who else could pull this off besides musk? This country does absolutely need more than two parties. Both suck. Although Republicans in my humble opinion, are one click better than the current Democrats.

Bill:

You are writing about things we already know. Nothing new. The only comment I have is think of the country first and be a good American citizen for all. Mr. Musk: sometimes it’s best to keep your remarks to yourself, sparring with the President doesn’t do anything good. President Trump: Be more presidential; your negative remarks make you more ridiculous. Bill: Solutions not negativity about the same B.S. over and over again AP

"Steve Bannon suggested that Musk be deported...and that his property be seized by the government." Bannon wouldn't even have the ability to make that nonsensical comment if it wasn't for Musk preserving his 1st Amendment right. Bannon the Statist showed his true colors. He's no different than a Jacobin. What an envious, jealous, POS!

“…and knees that jerk at the sound of immigrant voices?”

Well there you go again, Bonner. Once again, you are wrong. Repubs/MAGA/conservatives are totally ok with the sound of LEGAL immigrant voices. No “knees that are jerking” at all. Quite the opposite: welcome to America!

What part of I L L E G A L can you leftards not grasp?

And let’s be clear: there is no such thing as “illegal immigration.” To immigrate is a legal process. The people you defend - and malign the Right with - Bonner, are criminal border trespassers; illegal entrants; illegal aliens.

Why, Bonner, do you insist on being so intellectually disingenuous? Are you suffering from cognitive dissonance? It is beginning to look that way, and that is a mental disorder.

What has become the cult of MAGA started out as the Tea Party, in that iteration I had hope for America.

Americans have a tendency to believe then parrot whatever news feed or belief system they've plugged into.

The founders of the Tea Party seeking a presidential candidate allowed a liberal Democrat from NY city to worm his way in and then redirect the organization. With a well crafted PSYOP derailing the only hope to start a third political party running as a Republican.

Humans never learn from history especially when it is true.

Trump is either deluded, a Progressive, or both. A pipe dream platform knowing that ship sailed a hundred years ago. He panders to every group, like the self proclaimed apostle Paul, all things to all men, deceiving for their own good.

It is impossible to pay off debt using debt.

This past weekend our small group of Boomers paid the $345 fiat based dinner check with cash. This act was enthusiastically welcomed by the owner and waitress, while the tables close-by wondered if we were drug dealers.

What if we'd settled the bill with a $5 US Eagle?

Remember the limitations of spending cuts in the BBB. Trump has already sent a $9.4B document to congress to implement some of the DOGE recommendations. Nobody seems to want to mention this.

I’ve decided I’m no longer going to waste my time reading BB’s diatribe.

I’m simply going to give a negative criticism. I’m ok if I’m wrong once every decade or so.
