You can blame white men for the world’s ills. But when it came to plumbing and internal combustion engines, white men were on the ball. Not a single one of them was carrying out a government policy.

And RIGHT at least 90% of the time - closer to 100% when responding to any of your posts, but it's pretty easy, honestly. You deny Reality and are not afraid to shame yourself.
Sorry, Not Sorry, Dotty. Your side is failing, desperate and in the corner - more dangerous now than y'all have been in many years, just like losing leftists throughout History. Because you are too Indoctrinated and Obtuse to see what is right in front of your face is not my problem. No Mercy, no Quarter...
Unlike SE I think you had a clever answer. Especially with the new DA in LA going to prosecute. However California has gotten what they deserve by voting for people like newsom. Shame because it used to be a beautiful state. But please keep commenting because I enjoy all the responses you get 😁
I have a burning question. How came this happy change? The rarified atmosphere high on the Argentine plain? Aged Malbec and a juicy ribeye? Just getting out of the big, big city?
Many people have insane ideas, as Mr Foley proves, but who cares? We hear constant nonsense every day and it’s mostly junk and fake news to upset and divide the masses. Watching the news yesterday(for 5 minutes) about the 50 or so real refugees from South Africa, and the assault on these people from the left just proves how truly disgusting, ignorant and disgraceful the leftist in America have become. We live in such a blessed world at an incredible time in history, and because of our own actions, have blessed lives. These poor demented freaks on the left have insane lives, and surround themselves with more insane people that actually agree and promote their demented behavior. This my dear fellow readers is the difference between America’s left and right, or Right and Wrong…
Steve, I so fully agree…..but for one portion of your offering….
Left wing, counter culture kooks are not a new phenomenon…..they have been around forever. Many outgrow their goofy thinking when they try to get jobs and feed themselves and realize, like it or not, that socialism just doesn’t work…..
They too have had a Sea Change. Fewer and fewer are outgrowing the Lunacy, and even less are "getting jobs and trying to feed themselves." We have a permanent 20%+ of the population that are Victims for Life - just ask them and they'll explain in-depth about their "oppressors" and how there is no way out. In fact, there is a growing subset that permanently affirms their mental illness through pharmaceuticals and irreversible surgery - and a massive, evil contingent that enables them.
Ya’ know Starboard, you are probably correct, but sooner or later “life” does have a way of balancing the scales and these fringe folks do deside that life really isn’t unfair and with some effort they can right their ship or go ahead and sink. It’s their choice.

Also very strange that before sub-Saharan Africa was colonised there are no signs of building construction, aqua/via ducts, domes, arches, columns or wheels. Then these pesky white men came and ruined it all, bringing with them all this unsettling knowhow.
The MSM sure doesn't talk about debt? Wonder why? But they even found a professor to write a book "Modern Monetary Theory." What a disgrace professor Kelton. You've added just one more insanity to the leftist destructive narrative.
Actually neither "default" nor "inflation" are a solution. For the U.S. debt bubble along with the $100T derivative bubble, it will just keep increasing until it "blows sky high" making all fiat currencies world wide become worth zero, nada, zlitch in a flash. Now - some may call that a "default" but when the US$ goes bye-bye because no one will take "more" US$ that is a whole different outcome. US$ are there to pay the debt but no one wants them. It is the 4th Turning. The Empire is moving and it isn't staying in the good ol' USofA - reality awaits ahead!
When one of my low income tenants complains how bad things are, I suggest they read: Up From Slavery by Booker T Washington.
After which I point to how Booker rose from slavery and abject poverty to greatness without government assistance. Government in the south if it had succeeded would have Mr. Washington remain in poverty while believing he was free.

Mr. Bonner is right, Capitalism is the backbone of our modern civilization. The trusty old spine that keeps the world turning and the lights on. As he mentioned, if you’ve ever enjoyed a hot shower, an ice-cold beverage, or a late-night Netflix binge, you can thank capitalism and the tireless drive it inspires. It’s not just an economic system, it’s a civilization engine, an ever-churning machine of progress, fueled by the human desire for comfort, security, and the occasional absurd luxury. Sure, some dummies argue it’s time to toss this system aside, but when you consider what Mr. Bonner said, that kings and emperors of old couldn’t dream of the comforts available to the average person today, it’s clear that this grand experiment in free markets is doing something right. Our God-chosen president, The American Savior, The Son of Fred, Lord Trump, the captain of this capitalist ship steers us through the choppy waters of economic turbulence, ensuring that the promise of opportunity remains within reach for those willing to grab it. As long as the spirit of innovation, Sir Musk, and the freedom to pursue one’s own fortune remain at the heart of our economy, capitalism will continue to be the sturdy backbone of this great nation.
I think the "work or starve" method is pretty good motivation. Maybe we should try some more of that and see how it works out. Remember, I said "maybe".
We have tried "something else", and it's been a disaster. What is that "something else"? Welfare is one name for it; vote-buying is another. Best always. PM
‘Capitalism isn’t working for the poor.” What a moron! Socialism can only work in a capitalist system… there’s nothing to take or socialise is a communist system. The sheer fact that we are wasting time discussing this subject in 2025 explains why productivity in the West is going backwards. Sad state of affairs.
We march to the beat we hear. The media constantly spouts about the cost of buying a home. What era was buying a first time home cheap? The beat I grew up too was, "if you don't like it, you can change it." The wife and I started in an apartment, had one car, progressed to two cars, bought our first small home. We paid for our college education and child care. Progressed to larger homes. We accomplished this without one single Federal handout. Change the beat.
What kind of jobs did U2 have to accomplish all this? None related to Government spending? Amazing ! And both of U had to work outside the home to do this ?
Sorry ,David my point was , did either one or both of Ur jobs relate to or dependent on any sort of Gov. funds . I didn't mean it as a handout but as a Gov. produced employment.
Disagree, so if the air force buys jets then all the workers at Lockheed or Boeing is considered government assistance??? You are losing me as a follower SE

They're more worried now about coastal erosion than earthquakes. All the fault of wh!te man-induced global warming/climate change.

I AGREE!!! HALLELUJAH !!

And Bill should know better than to state facts. He could become another hunted human for the left’s demented madness…
What about the debt ???? If our debt keeps growing then eventually we will all be on the street !!
History says so !
Always remember there is a difference between EDUCATION and INTELLIGENCE -
And America’s Universities prove that point….spewing out millions of educated idiots
Depends on how one defines “educated.”
Edumacated 🤔
Ya man, go to college, get stupid and life long debt
This time around there will be literal blood in the streets if the media has its way.
Dat be da plan, yo - y comprende - and درک....
It's what MSM is all about.
Debt the elephant in the room. Glad you have mentioned it Nobody seems to want to mention the word "DEBT" nor how to fix it.
Either a default or it will be inflated away. Neither are pretty solutions. Living within our and the govt's means gets no mention.

Yes, and Foley never mentions The Debt. He just proposes rearranging deck chairs on our sinking ship. A blissful fool.
At this point I often recommend a viewing of the movie "Americathon", set in the era of Japanese trade, industrial, and financial ascendancy.

Hope you haven't tried that lately. There has been a Sea Change in the attitudes that are acceptable toward Whitey in just the last few months...

I never know if you're being sincere or sarcastic!
Well, that’s the trick, ain’t it?
Like laughing in a graveyard, half the thrill is never quite knowing if it’s a joke or a sermon. 😂😢🔱🙏🏻🤩
Actually 100% free market capitalism has never been tried. Why don't we try that.
Noble idea Steve, but then we would really have bloody revolt…..
I think the "work or starve" method is pretty good motivation. Maybe we should try some more of that and see how it works out. Remember, I said "maybe".
Nice of you to give Trump a rest😂
You can’t fix stupid but we sure do vote for it. Now that is what needs to be worked on!!
We have tried "something else", and it's been a disaster. What is that "something else"? Welfare is one name for it; vote-buying is another. Best always. PM

Holy shit. Was this an article by Bill Bonner. I am amazed. I agree with him. AP
You are right to be skeptical.

Surely you are being sarcastic Patty?
Amazed that a couple could find prosperity without government “assistance “?
SMH…
Starry, u need comp. reading assistance . I said nothing about ,,ASSISTANCE
Please elucidate how a government "job" is not the same as government "assistance"...
We both worked outside the home. I had a full time and a part time job.
Sorry ,David my point was , did either one or both of Ur jobs relate to or dependent on any sort of Gov. funds . I didn't mean it as a handout but as a Gov. produced employment.
They're the same picture.
PS - Excluding employment in the Direct Arms Services or Federal LE....
