The oppressors and the oppressed mostly stay where they are. More than half a century of the War on Poverty, for example, has left us with about the same proportion of poor people as we started with.
4% on T-Bills - 25% for taxes = 3% net. - 3.5% - 5% inflation means that if you spend the interest income, like I am doing in retirement, you are going backwards big time!
If you do not spend the interest income you are still going backwards, only at a slower speed!
We need 8% T-bills for this to be fair, but that will be very unlikely to happen. Even if it does it only leads to the Feds bankruptcy happens sooner rather than later. HELP!
For those who don't know, and I, as well, had to learn this lesson upon my arrival in Baltimore in September of 1974 for my ill-fated 2-year "incarceration" in that city, "Anne Arundel" is pronounced "Annarunnel", just as "Baltimore" is pronounced "Bawlamer", accent on the 1st syllable in both cases. Best always. PM
Bonus: "caramel" is not pronounced with the first "a" being long, but rather a soft "a", as in "car, with the second "a" dropping out completely in most instances. "Maryland" Is "Murralyn", again with the accent on the 1st syllable in both cases. That's privileged information, so consider yourself privileged.
Change it to "a country not known for sponsoring terrorism of any kind before the US invasion in 2003". Speaking of sponsoring terrorism Trump recently welcome the new Syrian president, Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa, to the White House. Ahmed made a career move from former top headchopper of ISIS with a $10 million on his head. Did Donnie collect the reward from the State Department?
Although I agree humans do get hoodwinked from time to time Bill...I think you're off the mark today...The world is getting less safe and we need to do something about that...there are certain cultures who enjoy the free stuff provided by the more successful cultures that work...and we're allowing them to invade us and steal...about time we have a few political leaders willing to act on the obvious.
Maybe some of those cultures that enjoy free stuff are right in DC. Donnie keeps bragging about stealing oil from Venezuela and even proposed taking Iran's oil. Interesting that the CIA coup of the democratically elected Iranian government was triggered by the Iranian president's attempt to stop the British from taking Iranian oil.
You get one guess as to what is the one, American political party that possesses “the lingering ‘racist’ prejudice that African-Americans couldn’t be left alone, like everyone else. They were a special group in need of either the whip of the slave driver...or the bounty of well-meaning bureaucrats.”
Hint: It's the political party that was formed explicitly to preserve the American form of slavery.
“If I were to start a political party from scratch, it would be the Mind Your Own Damn Business Party.” – Pierre Poilievre, Leader of Conservative Party of Canada. Would be nice, but we'll unfortunately, never see it.
Mr Bonner you've got a wonderful penchant for lighting fires in readers 'brains' or at least what passes for them .. all of France & Spain are alight and many others in Europe are just waiting to burn .. but of course we've had such continental fires ad nauseam over the centuries .. but sadly someone forgot to record them in any meaningful way .. ah well temperature variations have been around for eternity surely they will abate and we'll be back in an ICE age in no time .. or maybe we already are in an ICE age? well whatever the heat has not even started yet and it's gonna get a lot hotter but then all those Red Hats have got their bunkers built and can survive anything .. so lets just see how they survive the rest of this decade .. and the heat goes on and the seismic swings from dry to hot to floods is getting bigger but we have many more souls to release (bout 3 or 4 billion) before we even get close to re-balancing the environmental seesaw !
Bill never forgets to mention antisemitism because he is of course an antisemitic jerk..exactly what he purports to be. Somewhere in Bill’s family history some Hasidic Jews must have stolen someone’s lunch money. Simple solution to the Iranian problem , blow up Kharg Island.. put the Mullahs out of business. No money no paying terrorists and no nuclear weapons. Sure, oil will go up for a while but it will in due time settle in the 70s… exactly what the oil futures say. L’chaim to you Bill.
VDH as a philosopher reminds me of Monty Python's sketch on the German Philosophers vs the Greek Philosophers competing on the soccer pitch. The wrinkled brows determining the fate of the human race (and the outcome of the game). What a hopeless mess, yet each of those characters are focused on both examining and stewing the pot with little attention to the fray. Pick your philosophers carefully. (including VDH).
Our species will always find a way to kill those who don't look, speak and/or worship like us

The white race is the only group marked for extinction.

Hmmm… much love sweetie darling. You poor thing. Looks like you need a hug xx
Sorry Ian, I don't swing that way. Meanwhile, I just call it like I see it, and they aren't hiding it anymore.
“…he found them even in Iraq, a country not known for sponsoring terror of any sort.”
Not true. Total disinformation.

He even went to 10 downing street and shook hand with the PM there.

Hey Bill.....please (re-) read Romans 12:17. Being a "preference-ist", I prefer many different things. And the bible as always been a good read.
Liberal's science of classifying living things; Racism.
So when are we going to get onto the macroeconomics this week and away from the student politics?
Read Denning and Dyson.
Fair enough

Marked for Extincition? I will edit your columns if you need some help. Tighten it up, amigo...
