Finally, a good news letter from old Bill. The kind of stuff he’s capable of but many times gets off the track he should be on. As he states, the problem isn’t Trump, it the deep state. Every time Trump tries to do something that takes some of their power away and start to fix the massive problems, they react like a cornered mad dog. Why do they try so hard to kill him, lie about him, to hurt him any way they can. The first leader since Eisenhower to stand up to them.

Could you show how Trump is standing up to the Deep State? Scott Bessent is a Deep State Wall Street veteran and made his fortune speculating as the right hand boy of MAGA enemy George Soros. Howard Lutnick is another Wall Street speculator who lied to CONgress about his friendship with Epstein. Trump's FDA even just approved another Big Pharma mRNA vaccine for the flu even though the Warped Speed experimental mRNA COVID shot was neither safe nor effective. Obama fanboys used the same line of thinking- he wanted to change things but the Deep State won't let him.

Well, at this rate we’ll be getting through the Fourth Turning a lot faster. But then, what will the First Turning look like? A high for freedom lovers or tyrants? Most likely something in-between. Either way, we can take comfort in knowing that while we're enjoying the new high, we'll be busy building a brand-new disaster for future generations. I wish there was a cycle for clear thinking… that kept getting better.
