The only thing that could Make America Great Again is the thing that made it great in the first place -- less government, fewer deficits, fewer wars, and fewer meddlesome laws and regulations.
Be careful, James. Just because some of us agree with some of what Trump has done, it doesn't mean we are in a 'cult', are brainwashed lockstep robots. One need only to look to the leftards that couldn't get far enough up BarryO's arse for that.
I'll freely admit that the military interventions, the failure to get the federal budget under control, are disappointments. The continuation of deficit spending, especially. The DOGE hoopla sure is a distant memory :-(
Ah, yes, the DOGE hoopla is a distant memory and a disappointment, but the Minnesota corruption is not and is just the tip of the iceberg. Hopefully, this will lead to bigger things as they are already investigation California, and, I hope, other states as well.
Exactly. And the same jackwagons that accuse us of being in a Trump 'cult' are likely the same fools that voted for Kackling Kamelface Harris and Tampon Tim. So much for their judgement.
Indeed, I LOVE IT that Trump is blowing the lid off of Democrat corruption (but really, is anyone - other than a blindly partisan leftard - really surprised?)
Come on, Sluggo. Let's not forget that Donnie was once an admirer of both Clintons. Here's a little something: Asked about Hillary Clinton, Trump said: "I think she is going to go down at a minimum as a great senator. I think she is a great wife to a president". No chance you are being played no matter which team is in power?
They aren’t just “disappointments”. They cause nations/empires to collapse. Trump hasn’t just failed to cut borrowing with all his antics, but he has increased it.
Referring to those that recognize the benefits that some Trump Administration policies have created as cult-like is intellectually weak. Criticizing every single policy, idea and action of the Trump Administration without exception meets the definition of insanity (i.e. our editor). I guess you'd like to see the ignorant, impoverished, unskilled masses keep invading our borders en mass.
"Referring to those that recognize the benefits that some Trump Administration policies have created as cult-like is intellectually weak."
I agree. 100%. Of course it's also true that failing to recognize any of his mistakes is also intelectually weak. And for the record, I'm a 3 time Trump voter.
"Of course it's also true that failing to recognize any of his mistakes is also intelectually (sic) weak. And for the record, I'm a 3 time Trump voter."
I share your voting track record. Recognizing mistakes is the difference between ideology and intellect. We have to be umpires that look through the bars and not at them. Which is to say we have to have the ability to view things objectively and call out a bad move as a bad move when one is made.
I don't think most conservatives think Trump is a clown, but I would assume many think he has a clownish side to him like I do. I think most conservatives (whatever that term really means) believe Trump is on their side but at the same time, he is a mixed bag. In our culture, there are no perfect candidates. I think Trump has shown himself to be a game changer, but it is to be determined whether that is predominately for the good.
Ha, ha! I caught a little bit of Bad Bunny's half-time show. I thought it was a comedy act. But then again, I can't think of any half-time shows that impressed me. Many have elements that are offensive like BB's did.
The sensible needs for "less government, fewer deficits, fewer wars, and fewer meddlesome laws and regulations" are not espoused by either the Republican or Democratic parties.
But they are by the humble Libertarian Party.
More: No political party espouses as a goal enabling the creation of more wealth. Without wealth, there's nothing to tax. No tax; no government to provide services to benefit all.
First, they use the government to take money from those they believe have too much and
Next, they use the government give it to those whom they believe should have it.
Better if they let the organizations that need operational funds solicit these monies directly from the individuals whom they believe will financially support their beneficial endeavors.
The sensible rarely coincides with the doable. Government is cagey and clever, it will find ways to tax whatever is taxable, sometimes phantoms, like “unrealized capital gains.” Refer to my post of a snapshot of just how sticky taxation is in VA.
"On Friday Tesla TSLA CEO Elon Musk issued a stark warning...In a recent podcast appearance, Musk declared, 'We are 1,000% going to go bankrupt as a country and fail as a country, without AI and robots. The national debt is piling up like crazy.'"
And it "piled up" $5million more in the time it took you to read Musk's quote.
Just because I voted for Trump doesn't mean I agree with all his actions. The alternative was not an option for many of us. As for AI taking over, I don't see it. Having spent 45 years of my life working in engineering, I do not believe it will replace the number of jobs Mr. Musk proposes. As smart as he is, he is not God! I believe a large segment of Bill's readers are over 50 and have lived through many changes in their lives and this is another phase we will survive.
One thing is for sure, AI will never replace a plumber, an electrician, or a carpenter.
As us older people die off, millions of replacements will be needed for people who can work with their hands and think on their feet.
James: I agree with you. There are no superhumans that can do everything perfect 100% of the time. ALL countries have debt and many countries are under water. Trump has closed the border, stopped the mutilation of children, increased our energy production, is having a major role in having peace in the Middle East, bringing manufacturing bck to the U.S. and more. This is after ONE year. Give the man a chance; certainly better than the fraudulent corrupt Democratic Party and previous administrations. TIME WILL TELL. AP
(according to the liberals) you voted for Trump and therefore you are a MAGAT, blindly following the orange cult and accepting of everything the orange man propagates.
-
I believe the reason liberals assume this is because that's what they do...
"The only thing that could Make America Great Again is the thing that made it great in the first place -- less government, fewer deficits, fewer wars, and fewer meddlesome laws and regulations."
Couldn't agree more. Unfortunately, what follows are half-truths and biased commentary. Bonner even gloats that Trump is doing essential work in bring down the empire!
Apparently, Bonner does not believe that the Trump administration's efforts to deregulate the economy, encourage production of reliable energy sources (oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear, for example), weed out inefficiency and, more importantly, corruption in our government, bring trillions of dollars of investment into our economy, etc. are relevant to his opening statement. He never mentions these things - never! You can argue that they might not be enough to avert the disaster that seems to be lurking around the corner, but to completely ignore them like Bonner does is, at best, malpractice on is part.
America, now ruled by President Trump, a self-declared philosopher king whose policies are shaped entirely by Tweets, Tupperware dreams, and the side effects of expired cheese. The economy runs on anxiety, eggs, and crypto-laced almond milk.
You ever notice how every time a nation gets bloated with debt, there’s suddenly a genius screaming “We need robots!” That’s not economics, that’s a suicide note from a vending machine. President Trump’s grand solution to bankruptcy is to let the toaster unionize. AI and robots, he says. Yeah, sure, let’s replace the fry cook before we regulate the war profiteer. Makes sense.
And now they’re selling hope in bags marked “productivity gains.” That’s rich, considering these jackasses can’t even produce a living wage, a decent school lunch, or a congressman with a functioning cerebellum.
President Trump is the only leader who declares a state of emergency because his crypto wallet needs therapy. But don’t worry, he’s got plans. Big ones. First, blow up Iran with a love letter. Second, bomb Yemen with AI-enhanced apologies, Third, cut Social Security because the robot vacuum swore it could pick up the slack.
The US is like watching a 20-car pileup in clown makeup. I mean, President Trump is the only world leader who thinks foreign policy involves sending a bikini selfie to Kim Jong-un.
The man tried to buy Greenland like it was on eBay. You think I’m kidding? His press secretary announced it with finger guns and a slideshow.
And now this new Fed guy, Kevin Warsh, apparently found enlightenment through AI. Wow, AI will raise productivity so fast we’ll forget there’s no healthcare. Brilliant! Let’s trust the same people who made traffic lights talk to Twitter.
Oh, and let’s not forget inflation, that magical word that means “we took your savings and turned it into a meme stock.”
So now the US is broke, and President Trump, yeah, he’s a real free thinker. The kind of guy who believes in destiny, fate, and ordering nukes with a coupon code.
They say he doesn’t believe in free will. Which is weird… cause it sure looks like he freely willed this country into a meat grinder. And now he’s betting the farm on AI. That’s awesome, beause if there’s one thing you want managing your economy, it’s a glow-in-the-dark toaster that hallucinates GDP figures.
Trump keep’s talking about eggs being down, but don’t talk about eggs Bruh, you ain’t got no eggs, dummy, “L’eggo My Eggo!” The only thing that’s fertile in the US is debt. It multiplies like a bunny on meth.
Inflation? Oh, don’t worry, AI’s got that covered. Yeah, that’s the plan now. Fix inflation with robots. It’s like fixing a broken leg with a kazoo.
President Trump standing atop the flaming remains of Bank of America, holding a lightsaber made from broken unemployment claims.
“My fellow Americans! AI will save us! The robots will build the future! And if they don’t, well, we’ll just declare bankruptcy and invade someone with oil!”
OMG it's all Trumps Fault! What do we do, what do we do…OMG, we are F’ed. Billy please save us, what should we do, what is the direction, please help -
How can you maintain that sending costly flotillas of battleships, first to kidnap a president and second to do Israel’s bidding against Iran, and then to increase the already bloated Dept of War budget to $1.5 trillion is in any way “less government”. 75 years of war-mongering by DOW (btw, thanks, DJT, for applying the correct name to this monstrosity) is responsible for nearly all our crushing debt—not to mention the 30 million foreigners we have slaughtered. But that’s even minor compared to an entire world awakened by Trump’s extreme antics (remember the tariff fiasco?) that every country (except Israel which is realizing its genocidal dream) actually has been victimized, terrorized, and pillaged by its ruler, the USofA!
China could pull the plug on our pathetic excuses and eternal lies just by liquidating its $700 billion investment (in REAL dollars) decades ago, but it probably won’t, because it is serious—and realistic—about creating a prosperous world for everyone.
Yes an amazing footage. The rest of the world or should i say most other countries see what is happening , but mos t Americans do not . This is in My opinion, the set up for digital control of You and I, World wide.
Bill, I'll bet your message today will still get lots of critical comments. Once in a cult, like the
present Trumplican party (formerly the Republican party) it's difficult to leave.
Be careful, James. Just because some of us agree with some of what Trump has done, it doesn't mean we are in a 'cult', are brainwashed lockstep robots. One need only to look to the leftards that couldn't get far enough up BarryO's arse for that.

🤣LOL!!!
Oh, they probably voted for the loving, charming, devoted Mrs. Bill Clinton, too. Just an absolute delight of a lady, isn't she?
Come on, Sluggo. Let's not forget that Donnie was once an admirer of both Clintons. Here's a little something: Asked about Hillary Clinton, Trump said: "I think she is going to go down at a minimum as a great senator. I think she is a great wife to a president".

... no, wrong!
Most conservatives are not Trump supporters, they are realist that recognize the better of two horrible candidates, won.
-
I don't know any conservatives giddy about Trump, most think he's a clown.
But the clown is much better than the treasonous globalist offered by the Democrats...
-
Seems Democrat cultists can now only muster socialists.
You and your lock-step liberals are propagating the U.S. into a socialist state....
I don't think most conservatives think Trump is a clown, but I would assume many think he has a clownish side to him like I do.

Trump:
...game changer: yes.
Mixed bag: yes.
Clown: absolutely, can't think of a more fitting definition.
Narcists: poster child
Patriot: yes!
Will he Make America Great Again: depends upon what one believes is a great America...
-
Imagine it's 1965 having no idea who or what a Beatle is...
Or today not being aware of Taylor Swift.
This happened to me with this Bad Bunny person…
I never heard of him prior to his StuperBowl appearance.
Unfortunately, I believe this guy is the face of America’s future.

Not sure what a “conservative” will be in 10 years…
Fortunately for all the folks that appreciate this guy,
my opinion doesn’t matter…
Ha, ha! I caught a little bit of Bad Bunny's half-time show. I thought it was a comedy act. But then again, I can't think of any half-time shows that impressed me. Many have elements that are offensive like BB's did.

I like the Libertarian ideology.
It's a great concept.
...the fallacy with Libertarians...
They somehow conclude folks are capable of thinking and doing what's best for themselves.
-
Democrats know this not to be true, the proof being is there are more of 'em.
Democrats are wealth-takers.
First, they use the government to take money from those they believe have too much and
Next, they use the government give it to those whom they believe should have it.
Better if they let the organizations that need operational funds solicit these monies directly from the individuals whom they believe will financially support their beneficial endeavors.

Bill every time I read your blog I feel like I need to have a root canal just to cheer myself up.
Pat
Pat..me thinks you don't have nearly enough teeth in your mouth to
suffer all the "root canals" headed your way in the future of this USA.
No matter who we call President.
Free will... the decision to spend $100 to read this bullshit...
Best $100 I’ve ever spent
🤣
Mr. Bonner tells us we will lose no matter...
Mr. Musk tells us "Without keeping up we will lose".
Mr. Trump tells us we will win no matter...
-
My portfolio has so far done better following Trump...
"On Friday Tesla TSLA CEO Elon Musk issued a stark warning...In a recent podcast appearance, Musk declared, 'We are 1,000% going to go bankrupt as a country and fail as a country, without AI and robots. The national debt is piling up like crazy.'"
