Yes Joel, the corrupt hens always seem to infuriate the happy, productive, successful duck dens no matter where they fly. The world will always be balanced by good and evil, but when evil ( hatred for God, murdering babies, corruption of religion, Communism) becomes the norm, and bad is considered good, and the world becomes as unbalanced as Joe Biden and his corrupt cult, then a cleansing always follows. Hundreds of millions will be lost in the coming cleansing, but good will always win over evil, as evil historically destroys itself. It’s the common cure for self loathing humans. Suicidal self destruction is what the democrats now stand for. Let’s support their demise and watch them all fly off the edge of the world 🙏
Yes Dear Dorothy, anyone that could possibly support the evil in the current American administration, the open borders and allowance for cartel, murderers, terrorist, drugs and more future democrats, and the murder of innocent unborn are just as you say. You need to ask yourself, why would a cult like this want the absolute destruction of the country that offers them the freedom to self destruct? You said it best! Sick, Sick…truly Sick!
These are the associates and allies of our “Law and Order” President who have been indicted, faced criminal charges, or sent to prison so far: Steve Bannon, Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Michael Cohen, Rick Gates, George Papadopoulos, Lev Parnas, Igor Fruman, Roger Stone, Chris Collins, Duncan Hunter, Sam Patton, Elliott Broidy, George Nader, Tom Barrack, and Trump's CFO Allen Weisselberg. And the list keeps growing.
Yes my little friend. Many innocent are being falsely persecuted as happens daily in communist countries. I’m sure you see the deteriorating nation before you, but you cheer for the evil. You despise “In God We Trust” and glamorize “God Damn America” because it’s what you believe. Yes my little friend, you have that right as an American, if you are one, so appreciate the opportunity to give your opinion, as the culture you support will forever take it away from you, as the list above have lost their rights, so will you. Why do you think such a corrupt administration could possibly be falsely elected? Xi Ping knew his entire plan would have fallen, and all of the traitors, Bush’s, Clinton’s, Obama’s, Biden’s and most of the media, would all lose their heads. China would be thrown back to the third world shithole it was, and the America would be great again 😊
Are we in kindergarten now? You can actually read our minds? We are concerned for America. Sour grapes...Trump tried to takeover the Presidency. How many times did you want the ballots counted?? He lost! get over it. Try again in 2024. By the way Reprobate Mind refers to you; you just haven't figured it out yet!
Joel, please consider that the quality of the discussion here in the comments section reflects the quality of your commentary. I thought I was paying for financial advice, not one-eyed political opinion which seems to have become your thing. I'm afraid I feel the only one in the gang of four at BPR worth reading is Tom.
Tom, consider breaking out on your own, please. Then I can vote with my feet and feel like I'm getting what I paid for.
I would submit to you that, SADLY, politics has injected itself into virtually every cultural and social subject in our Country.
You may not like the side Joel appears to be on, but to insist that he eschew politics in his musings is a disservice to the BPR team, subscribers and general readers.
Oh I intend to. I have already decided to let my membership lapse at time of renewal. I signed up expecting financial advice. I will just stick with the Oxford Club where they manage to stick to their knitting.
And by the way, I have been reading Bill's daily musings for over 2 decades, and have listened carefully to his points of view, agreeing strongly with some of them, and disagreeing strongly with others. All good stuff. But, all that came free, or should I say, at the cost of the endless marketing, which I was able to train myself not even to see. And now after 20+ years I'm a paying customer and feel like I've walked into Twitter Hell, with the usual cohort of self-proclaimed experts responding to Joel's trolling. I paid for financial advice, but one sane posting a week from Tom doesn't meet the standard of "truth in advertising".
Yes, I’m also curious. Joel knows what is coming down the pike, and so do you. What we see here is the normal division before a total national collapse. It’s the following lousy preview before a horrible movie, where all the good guys die. It’s the New World Order, Great Reset before it’s all Built Back Better…I learn much from all four gifted authors, and from many on this site. This pretty much sums up the world today…you can never learn enough, and can learn something helpful from the least likely source…
Joel trying to control noise/information is like trying to control a virus .. impossible as humans love to talk, particularly about stuff they no nothing or very little about as the commentary of these BPR blogs indicate. The readers of BPR are also an exclusive audience who subscribe because they think/hope they'll get inside conformation for 'hunches rumors conspiracies' like how valuable Gold/Silver etc is going to be if such and such happens .. and well you know that in this age of miss information none of what's predicted by BPR is guaranteed, it's simply a possibility and right now none of the predictions are showing signs of playing out any of the scenarios indicated by BPR. If nothing else the weekly reports and commentary are entertaining and certainly give some very clear indications of social/cultural segmentation that are much more alarming than anything BPR has proffered/predicted .. lets hear more about your observation of other countries and their means/ways of dealing with the continued decline in human interaction especially in places like Argentina which is supposedly where we are heading? although I doubt is as the people there sounds far more savvy and cooperative with what's evolved. Perhaps they'll also find ways of overcoming these/their issues in far better ways than other freedom fanatic's ?
Very insightful on the Pelosi's. Obama is not doing too bad either, for an ex community organizer turned President. It's obvious what they set their sights on when elected, if Americans want it to stop, create term limits. Otherwise, suck it up. It's about power, money is power, and they want it, of course while feeling our pain.
Like you, Michael, I’ve oft wondered why there are no term limits for “public servants” in those two houses of government. Dow here in Louisiana, we’ve enacted term limits on both the state house and senate. It doesn’t stop the crooks, ahem, servants from jumping from one branch to the next, but at least there’s a facade of limits. I would think if a bassackwards little state like this can pass term limits, surely it can happen in the nation. But alas, that’s like asking a CEO to vote to relinquish his/here salary, stock options, and country club membership (that the company is paying for) after a few years. Of course they’re not going to go peacefully into the night.
So much for letting your neighbor BBQ in peace. Don’t look like me, don’t think like me: shoot the f-kr! Sounds typical of the Taliban; but isn’t that why far right Republican are just another group of Taliban: want to tell me what to think, how to act, how to dress, what to ingest, how to fornicate, which church I need to attend, and who to kill on order. Oh, I’m sorry, PG V, I bet you know what good Taliban looks like. As for Libertarians being feckless, faithless and foolhardy, I think you are confusing the terms with independent, skeptical and cautious.
And not the Republican Party??!!?! Seems to me they both are; which is why I’m a libertarian. But honestly, it is way beyond elected politicians, the swamp has a life of its own and is not going away.
Okay..Who tells you how to act, how to dress, what to ingest, etc? What country are you living in?? I'm living in America and no one tells me or any one else those things. You like to make up lies, but you're not fooling anyone but yourself!
Act: TSA line - better be showing the proper obedience or you’ll find yourself hauled off for a full cavity search.
Dress: I’m smart enough to know when I need to wear a mask, but shutting my local restaurants down when they don’t enforce me to wear one is a bit much.
Ingest: I really would like to take my Viagra without an prescription
Offensive? Let’s see: Taliban want their own country and, in that country, will dictate what others think, believe, and how they behave. Sounds like you, pal! The difference is that I don’t care what you teach your kids, but you sure care about what I do mine. I can ignore you if you ignore me, and I won’t pass some asinine law that affects you, but so far that is not the far-right policy, instead it is shove it down their throats; sounds like Taliban to me. (Heck, the truth is we probably think more alike than I care to admit but I don’t care what others do, or believe.) But note, I will not force you to be woke (which is all a bunch of BS anyway), I will respect your opinions and beliefs, and will not force you to like your neighbor. As for civil war, not likely, more likely is the degradation of civil society due to the Republicans and Democrats running this country into the ground and usurping our civil liberties and spending money they don’t have; think food riots. As long as our government continues to think it can direct every aspect of our lives this will not end well; think “I’m a low interest guy”, or “inflation is just transitory”. Again, I will fight to protect your freedom, but don’t believe you’re truly interested in protecting mine. You claim Libertarians are feckless and idealistic, don’t kid yourself. (And you’re not?) Life is a bitch and most people are smart enough to know that there are times when hard decision need to be made and that you have to plan for those times. In previous posts you have made claim you are in the know, suggesting some insider knowledge; well I’m a skeptic.
Yes Wes, I’m so happy that you don’t want to shove your pure interest on me nor my children. I agree we shouldn’t force CRT or BLM or Trans, Homosexuality American loathing social issues on our children and I feel so secure knowing that you will “fight” for the rights for all equally. In a perfect world that sounds so beautiful. I think you know much better than that. You will end up choosing a side soon. I believe you will choose wisely 🤔
Probably true. Take the Civil War as an example: slavery is abhorrent, but those southern states never signed a document that said they could not secede from the union. So which side. Not and easy decision and one that can’t be made until it situation is upon us. So advice: be prepared for the worst. We need limited government because there are times when these types of decisions have to be made as a nation and we will all be called upon to do our part. But god help us if it falls to demagogues and dictators that are “in the know”
Ayn Rand wasn’t a Libertarian. She was an Objectivist that did not believe in voting and participating in government. Libertarians believe we are as responsible as much as you, the difference is we are not the worlds police, they don’t want our help. Your country is on fire because of politicians
PG V should be kicked off for his FOUL language. Not appropriate! Clean it up. He has no control over his emotions. I don't think people should demean others by calling them nasty names and insulting them.
Sadly when the population becomes distracted by trivia, (punctuation spelling etc) and cultural social life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainment, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, people become an audience and their public business a vaudeville act, and their private business a degenerate attempt at redemption, a nation finds itself at risk of complete irrelevance and cultural death is a very likely possibility. revised from <Neil Postman>
You always play the blame game. A good christian doesn't talk like you do. Better start going back to church and listening to the sermons. Republicans are not perfect; not even close. This is not a perfect world. There is good and bad about both parties. You just can't bring yourself to admit that.
A "good" Christian doesn't attribute their beliefs and feelings to God's position, nor does a "good" Christian presume to know someone else's salvation status.
But I know you can't help yourself Dot old girl. Typical Leftie - knows best for everyone while loathe to apply the same standards to themselves...
Yes Joel, the corrupt hens always seem to infuriate the happy, productive, successful duck dens no matter where they fly.

Dems won't support evil.
Hey fiend -
No need to support something when you have given yourself over to it COMPLETELY...
Yes my little friend. Many innocent are being falsely persecuted as happens daily in communist countries. I’m sure you see the deteriorating nation before you, but you cheer for the evil. You despise “In God We Trust” and glamorize “God Damn America” because it’s what you believe.

While I appreciate your patience and effort Steve, you are wasting thought, time and keystrokes.
It's referred to (accurately) as a "Reprobate Mind."
It is terminal for Eternity and the people that suffer from it (Dot and fiend to name two out of millions) do not recover...
Are we in kindergarten now? You can actually read our minds? We are concerned for America. Sour grapes...Trump tried to takeover the Presidency. How many times did you want the ballots counted?? He lost! get over it. Try again in 2024. By the way Reprobate Mind refers to you; you just haven't figured it out yet!
No thought is ever wasted if on the right side of good and history. Thank you my friend 😊
Nekeg should be deleted. This not an advertisement page.

Hi Curious -
I would submit to you that, SADLY, politics has injected itself into virtually every cultural and social subject in our Country.
You may not like the side Joel appears to be on, but to insist that he eschew politics in his musings is a disservice to the BPR team, subscribers and general readers.
Perhaps it is YOU who need to move on...
Oh I intend to. I have already decided to let my membership lapse at time of renewal. I signed up expecting financial advice. I will just stick with the Oxford Club where they manage to stick to their knitting.
And by the way, I have been reading Bill's daily musings for over 2 decades, and have listened carefully to his points of view, agreeing strongly with some of them, and disagreeing strongly with others. All good stuff. But, all that came free, or should I say, at the cost of the endless marketing, which I was able to train myself not even to see.

$52 billion for the wealthy chip manufacturers ..
Socialism for corporations and hardcore capitalism for the working man.
Very good Joel, from reading the comments, you really put the cat amongst pigeons. "wink"

Now lets look into Jared getting $2 billion from the Saudis. With a guaranteed $20 million per year fee for handling.
Looks like the Crown Prince just bought the next president if Trump is reelected.
Yes, lets.
Right after we investigate, indict and convict Hunter and ALL associates for their grift and 10% to the Big Guy.
What? That's not the same thing?
Who knew...
Do it !!! You have had 6 years and still nothing on Hunter.
Joel, Scary,she is 3rd in line to run the country,and she can't answer an honest question.
Didn’t Martha Stewart do jail time over something like this😂
Yes, and now she has Snoop Dogg to steer her right.

It's obvious what they set their sights on when elected, if Americans want it to stop, create term limits. Otherwise, suck it up. It's about power, money is power, and they want it, of course while feeling our pain.
But Michael...we do have term limits. In 2/27/51 the 22 Amendment limits an elected president to two term in office, a total of eight years.
Am referring to the entrenched congress, and how that manifests.
Like you, Michael, I’ve oft wondered why there are no term limits for “public servants” in those two houses of government. Dow here in Louisiana, we’ve enacted term limits on both the state house and senate.

Republicans are turning America into Iran.
"want to tell me what to think, how to act, how to dress, what to ingest, how to fornicate, which church I need to attend, and who to kill on order."
Do you seriously not realize that you just described today's Dimocrat party TO A TEE??!
Cognitive Dissonance is NOT your friend...
And not the Republican Party??!!?! Seems to me they both are; which is why I’m a libertarian. But honestly, it is way beyond elected politicians, the swamp has a life of its own and is not going away.

PG V There is a big difference between Liberals and Libertarian's.
This country will split up. Give it time. We in WV will remain conservative.
Easy..They own the stock. More money for them. Been going on forever; both parties do it. No big secret.
