Ok, so we made it. This morning has gold in its mouth, but NOW the work starts.
𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘀 (note that I called you by your capitalized, proper name):
Onto the crushing reality - what hoax has already been prepared by the media and the Democrat leadership to spring on President Trump just like Russia, Russia, Russia, the first go round? Anyone paying attention to the facts, reports and "investigations" the last 4 years knows that was an invalid farce and hopefully understands that it has been proven the Steele dossier was paid for by Hillary Clinton's campaign and completely made up in a fabricated attempt to remove power from the duly elected candidate. Ditto for our intelligence agencies spying on the Trump campaign up to and including after he was Inaugurated. If you disagree with these two points, we really don't have a foundation to build any trust on, but hopefully your intelligence will allow you to accept Reality in these instances. No time to bring up the fake "impeachments", the J6 Hoax, the Lawfare attempting to ruin Trump's businesses and wrongfully take away his Liberty, TWO (or maybe 3) ASSASSINATION attempts, and a host of other despicable actions we likely have not been made aware of. Also, while we're here, where did 20 million of Joe's 81 million votes go? Hmmmm.
If you can't or won't release your hatred/envy and acknowledge these Facts, we really don't have any common ground.
Not to be Debbie downer, but we've been through this rodeo before and your side did not act exactly appropriately considering what I just mentioned above, including the laundry list of other borderline treasonous acts that were carried out against Trump in the first four years. I believe you all might actually have the imbecility to jail him in a couple of weeks. Good luck with that and hopefully at least a tiny bit of the Left's criticisms of divisiveness and calls for unity during the past campaign were actually authentic.
Having said all that, here's an olive branch - which is what we've offered you all historically and particularly during Trump's first term. The difference is that now Compromise means you must move our way as we meet in the middle. The American people have spoken and SOUNDLY rejected your headlong dash into Idiocy, Authoritarianism and Degeneracy. For too long Compromise meant that we acquiesce to your wants and demands - that age has officially passed. Come together and help us Make America Great Again for EVERYONE. Please.
Let's see if more of you are willing to accept our open hands of Cooperation this time. I'm quite skeptical, for good reason. But we can't get where we need to be without you....
Hello Don, Mark here. Aside from waning faith in humanity; our fellow BPR subscribers will soon enough come back around to the sheer overhanging menaces.
President-elect Trump inherits a nation facing major economic challenges, not the least of which are:
1. A national debt exceeding $35 trillion and still growing
2. Inflation continues to erode a meaningful percentage of the dollar’s purchasing power
A weakened American position on the global stage; which are attributed to the largest U.S. export… (unwanted) Treasuries. It can take decades to reverse credibility damages, statesmanship and diplomacy.
Yes decades to reverse . That is a problem-time. Time may not be on His watch. What has been put in place has been done very slyly . And over a number of years. From My view this will take decades to turn around , but none the less can be done. There are some very wise people in the helm of politics. Just need to make sure they stick their nose to grindstone, always, to get back to the Constitution as was meant to be!
GF , I am not sure that I want to sit around much longer, but that call is not mine. Yes things are definitely getting more and more interesting. At 73 You have more experience .
SE: Your message was going in the right direction until you listed “fake impeachment and the J6 hoax.” Whether you acknowledge it or not, it did happen and it’s true. I will always honor our lawfully elected officials. So now you all can put your guns away for now.
Funny thing about Hate, Dottie. It blinds you while whispering in your ear that you are right - and better than the Other because of it. It's a double deception. Sadly, most haters don't ever see that until it is too late and the opportunity for a fulfilling, satisfied Life has passed them by.
I'll scratch you off the list of Americans willing to put emotions aside and engage with us in the work ahead...
I expect in one year you will comment positively on a Donald Trump presidency. I expect lower inflation, border security, reduction in the deficit, drill baby drill, less regulations, energy independent, reduction in crime, more support for our police, improve education, reduction in government, and many other things to make America great again. We shall see. AP
Bill, I agree 100% with what you are saying about the elite, debt, what the future looks like, etc., but there is this thing called Hope that is being left out. In the long run what you are saying is correct, but hope is a powerful thing and it can transform lives and even countries, and can even transform the future. I feel like those people who elected Trump now have hope and probably are more energized today to go out and work and dream of a better future for them and their families. The founding of our country was founded on a small group of people that had a hope that they could have a better life regardless of their current circumstances. So for the short term a lot of good things will happen for families and individuals because they have a hope for the future that will energize them to work and change their lives for the future. The building blocks of our country are crumbling for sure, but maybe in this changing of the guard, in name only, there will be tens of thousands of people whose lives will get better because they are putting in the effort needed to make their new found hope a reality. Maybe!
The Palestinians are hoping that ; Trumpstein comes to his senses about the morality of continuing to fund, and assist Bibi's rabid sociopathic-psycopathy before it makes his legacy into being the most publicized, in realtime/live action, genocide enabler in world history.
Lest anyone forget ... the Donald has already pledged the annexation of the Palestinian's (UN designated) West Bank land, to Isn'treal, in a 'pay to play' exchange, for Miriam Adelson's campaigh financing of billions of shekels.
Is that a Hebrew Semite, Zionist Semite, Arab Semite or Ashkenazi Semite?
The point being things on that real estate are a bit more complicated than Mr. Eti would have us believe.
PS - I was told on good authority that the English Royal Family and/or the Rothschilds and/or the Free Masons are the true dastardly bunch responsible for the root of all our problems. Ya mean I've been hating the wrong foreigners all this time??
We need to go back to the gold standard and a smaller footprint for America. Leading but not abusive to those that aren't living with the freedom and resources that we have!
Not true that things stay pretty much the same regardless of what the President does. In Biden’s 4(almost) years, he allowed tens of thousands to die if fentanyl poisoning, caused massive inflation, and put the world on alert for WW3. Quite a lot done by a doddering old fool. Also Regan didn’t spend that money all by himself; Congress had a hand in that. But, now things can and will get better…….
What will REALLY happen is Trump will make budget-busting great again. That way, he'll be indistinguishable from almost every other occupant of the White House.
Maybe - but I DID notice the words "pay off the debt" or "reduce the debt" were mentioned in his victory speech last night. That might not mean anything, but I was surprised to hear it come out of his mouth at all...
🥵 gold falling hard 💯 Yes indeed, an Arnold Palmer, right.
The risk aversion hedge replaced by risk-off and into what; s-t-o-n-k-s and Treasuries?
According to Kitco news: The election results prompted the unwinding of safe-haven, long-gold with a little help from Ouija board strengthening of a confetti, monopoly money, U.S. dollar index and higher U.S. Treasury yields today. And it looks sort of bearish for gold.
My thought: In the long haul, what is better or worse?
A barbarous relic with no counterparty liability risk?
It is NOT a gold bull, it is a BEAR [falling] market for fiat currencies and fractional reserve (dollar) currencies & credit.
Those familiar with Alasdair Macleod; my notes 🎶 from his hymn book:
Financial Imbalances
US consumer debt at 71% of GDP and declining savings rates contrast sharply with China’s 50% household savings rate, indicating fundamental differences in economic structures and potential future challenges.
The widest ever recorded gap between rising bond yields and falling equity values suggests an impending equity market crash as historical correlations reassert themselves.
Banking and Credit Risks
Banks face increased duration risk due to high leverage and long-term bond holdings, with rising yields potentially wiping out equity and triggering a credit crunch in mortgage markets.
Private equity firms leveraging stable utility income streams 4-5 times with debt are now facing defaults and bankruptcies across Europe and Japan as refinancing becomes impossible due to rising rates.
Precious Metals Perspective
Gold’s rising price primarily reflects the falling value of currencies against real money (gold, silver, copper), rather than a gold bull market, emphasizing the historical role of precious metals as stores of value.
There comes a point in any organisation where they have a choice between being big or being great. Government has long since passed that point and sadly will probably only get that choice again after a massive implosion.
Oops! We originally published this with comments turned off (the default settings in Substack). We've enabled comments now. Sorry for the mistake!

Compromise, a big word . For your sake and mine I hope that can or will be the way. But My faith in humanity has been waning lately.

Well said Don. Agreed.
At 76 yo, hopefully I have a good number of more years as an activist or at least as a spectator.

GF , I am not sure that I want to sit around much longer, but that call is not mine. Yes things are definitely getting more and more interesting. At 73 You have more experience .
Did I read somewhere that Elon could cut $6 trillion from the budget?
Musk has said a lot of things. I recall this - https://youtu.be/5qxjm4RH6oA $2T.
The who, when, how and where sure is not going to be one person alone.
I’ll go out on a limb to say a government employee attrition rate does much.

The lesser of two evils, ... is still evil !!
LOL.
What is a "Palestinian"?
An authentic Semite.
Is that a Hebrew Semite, Zionist Semite, Arab Semite or Ashkenazi Semite?
The point being things on that real estate are a bit more complicated than Mr. Eti would have us believe.
PS - I was told on good authority that the English Royal Family and/or the Rothschilds and/or the Free Masons are the true dastardly bunch responsible for the root of all our problems. Ya mean I've been hating the wrong foreigners all this time??
/sarc off...
Originally, one was classified a Semite if they both spoke a dialect from the Semitic language group and their lineage traced back to the Levant.
Nailed it.
And one reason why the term anti-Semitic is so blatantly dumb.
On the Flip side it's a good indicator for the lack of knowledge, education and thought amongst those who use it extensively.
Thank you for the clarification and education...
Someone who wants to kill all Jews.
Just maybe!
Hopefully
Woke up this morning, not woke as in “woke”, but sleeping in my comfy bed and waking up to see my account already up by 1200%!
lol
Mayorka, Smith, and Kamala, YOU’RE FIRED!
Get the hell outta here!
😂
Biden, you’re cool bruh, in a sincere way.
They tried to do you ugly.
Literally forced you to step down, but you got the last laugh!
Who’s “they”?
The Libs! 😂
Soon to come:
1. Russian troops start pulling out of Ukraine.
2.Iran and Israel agree to a new cease fire period to negotiate.
3. North Korean troops return home.
4. Old dusty Mill Plants and Factories across America begin plans to reopen.
5. The National Deficit recalculated with a new provision that shows, with math, how billions and trillions will be cut.
6. The Stock Market gets greener than Slimmer!
7. Inflation down below 3%.
8. Drill baby drill, average gallon of gas, $2 bucks and 14 cents!
9. Grocery prices down by 30%.
10. 3 Million new jobs added in one month!
11. Ect…ect…on and on it goes.
The Golden Road to Heaven has been paved here on earth. Thank you Lord Trump, Mr. 47th President!
Oh yeah boy!
There is a theme to bills political writing “What’s the use”. “Life has no meaning.” It’s depressing. I feel very happy 😃 today.
We need to go back to the gold standard and a smaller footprint for America. Leading but not abusive to those that aren't living with the freedom and resources that we have!
I think , not think this is called " Love" thy neighbor!

I hate to remind Bill that communism did not die in 1991. Just ask the poor souls living in China or Cuba today!
Or running our Institutions of "Higher Learning"...
PS - According to BB today, Reagan's actions and words had nothing to do with the collapse of Communism.
Alrighty then...
What about Elon’s plans to slash trillions from government spending? It is not true that the DemonRats are equivalent to the Trump Republican party.
Indeed let's get back to work...
What will REALLY happen is Trump will make budget-busting great again. That way, he'll be indistinguishable from almost every other occupant of the White House.
Maybe - but I DID notice the words "pay off the debt" or "reduce the debt" were mentioned in his victory speech last night. That might not mean anything, but I was surprised to hear it come out of his mouth at all...

So, no matter what, the path is still laid out. As crooked as can be!
