POTUS seems to be making good on whatever promises he made in exchange. He keeps sending US weapons and money to Israel. But his ‘base’ is becoming uncomfortable.
The question that Mr. Bonner overlooks (every day, it seems) is this: do we, as Americans, want America to survive (relatively closely) as envisioned by the Founding Fathers and as described in the Constitution, and as America was up to 1960 (my interpretation of America's peak), or to morph, constantly, under the influence of so-called progressivism, which, in my opinion, requires top-down, big-government to implement, causes ill-advised economic choices, and must be socialist in nature, if not downright communist, in order to effect so-called equality and fairness? It's a binary choice, because the two alternatives, traditional America, and progressive, socialist/communist America are diametrically opposed, and incapable of co-existing. The beat here used to be money, but now it seems to be social justice. Best always. PM
Thank you Paul! Pretty much sums it up! America had no choice in these elections. Our country is broke, our people are divided and ignorant and our government is corrupt. Where do we go from here🤔. The ignorant base want and need larger government and don’t believe in our republic, because that is how they were raised and taught. The American base want a government that will take the chainsaw approach and cut down the size of government, the spending and the corruption. We just haven’t had the opportunity to vote for such a candidate, but I’m hopeful for next presidential election. In the meantime, Trump is at least a million times better than any demented candidate from the left. So I pray that logic will prevail as Trumps business approach prevails over the leftist big government and severely corrupt social movement.
Thank you Steve, unfortunately Big Man Bill doesn’t seem to understand it. He just likes to smear the President and all his millions of supporters, who elected him, with the same ridiculous broad brush. Typical fascist technique. Does Bonner ever look in the mirror? Apparently not because what he’d see has become extremely warped and ugly.
The President we, including me, doesn’t need any help smearing himself. He promised peace and prosperity and is re-creating ancient savagery and implanting economic practices already proven to guarantee poverty (starting with tariffs, but probably ending with his personal greed and dismissal of all the rest of us, including us supporters). Attacking truth-telling messengers doesn’t help anyone.
You’re probably right, I was hoping for some kind of family intervention but sadly, that doesn’t seem to be happening. Dan D taking the reins would be a good option. On the brighter side, when I was younger, I used to be amused at the ramblings and ranting of the so-called crazy uncle! We all knew that he’d gone round the bend though. In this case, we’ve PAID for the “privilege”!
Thats like saying you have to vote for the lesser of two evils.
And yes I understand better Trump, than the socialist utopia.
Imho there's the seen and unseen consequences; the immediate direct effect Vs the unforseen indirect consequences I pay closer attention to. Steve brought up several crucial points one of them being the ignorant which, of course applies not only to the general public, in and of itself bad enough it resides in the upper echelon of government as well.
Then they weren't conservatives, were they? Nixon made his bones being tough on communism, easy to do in the 50s, so that made him "conservative"? He tossed the gold standard, gave us so-called revenue sharing (a big-government deal if there ever were one), and legitimized Red China for all the world to see (and I got up at 3:00 AM or whenever the hell it was, to watch it in the basement (laundry room) in my college dorm, doing so, lest I disturb my fellow students, ALL of which were sleeping history away. Best always. PM
All true and why Nixon was a bad president, not the Watergate thing. But it has dawned on me that while Nixon tossed the gold standard, no other president has restored it. So, who is fault here? Much more than Nixon.
I believe the last President to "tell" us anything not tainted by political drift was Eisenhower: "we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex".
Truman's famous quote: “My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth, there’s hardly any difference.”
When DJT conquered politics in this country, something snapped in Bonner. At first, it came off as mild irritation. Then it became a mania. Sad. Best always. PM
“Loser”? Even Nazi Germany barely compares to the 2 biggest REAL “losers”of the last century: 1) the pariah slaughterhouse called Israel and 2) the US war machine that has killed 22 million foreigners and loaded a $37T debt on us individual citizens. And you, an apparent supporter of this insanity and inhumanity, label as “losers” those who merely point out the obvious?
I guess that’s intended as an additional name-calling insult. Unfortunately similar mindless machismo threatens all of. Us with another war in the Pacific that for sure will be our last.
People that live in constant Fear and bemoan a President that uses the actual Power, Economy and Resolve that our Country built over the past 249 years should stay under their beds. If you think Masculinity is toxic you have no role to play in today's Reality....
Hi Starboard. Do you consider Trump and Vance to be representatives of "masculinity"? Starting with Donnie - he graduates from a military academy but suddenly finds he has bone spurs so he can dodge the draft letting some poor or working class smuck go in his place. He bankrupts his casinos, screws small contractors and retreats to his palace to party with Epstein. Etc, etc. Are those masculine traits?
Without exception in human history those who live by the sword die by the sword. Toxic masculinity’s record: ZERO wins and hundreds (thousands?) of losses. “Effete” (your label) China has a record of 3000 years of peace in its treatment of the rest of the world and in spite of only 50 years of exposure to a world totally different to its previous 2950 years it has surpassed the US in virtually every measurement of progress and development This is the result of REJECTING the sword!
You probably weren’t around in the 40’s when Generals LeMay, MacArthur, et al , were itching to drop A-bombs on the coastal cities of China. Fortunately Truman put a stop to those calls, but the Dulles brothers built the swamp that has guided us into more than
50 macho military disasters. Do you really think that the Palestinians (1947), Iranians (1952), Guatemalans (1953), Chileans (1973), Argentinos, Nicaraguans, Vietamese, Panamanians, Afghans, and 45 others put out the calls to be mutilated, starved, murdered by US warmongers and their equally evil “friends”?
...yet it was the U.S. and her war machine that eliminated the Nazi's, imploded the CCCP and developed much of the neo-tech we can no longer survive without.
And importantly to your pointlessness Mr. Uehling, you are still here.
How can he do much when so many of his appointments are held up by crooked Democrats, the founders never thought there would be so many people like Shumer and Pelosi and Shiff!
An Nixon taking us off the gold standard, he didn’t have much choice, the system was about to collapse, he just saved it for a while, and the follower’s continued on down the path to where we are today. The ignorant kept voting in crooks and thieves , and most of all,Liars!!! The most skillful liars the world has ever seen! You can keep your health plan! The border is closed! Trump is Hitler! They’re going to push grandma off the cliff! And the most recent bunch of lies, “they are destroying our democracy!! doing exactly what they have been doing for decades!!!
Nixon had a choice; the choice he took was the easier one. Funny how that works. But your point is valid; the next guy in line would have done it. A restart in 1968 would have been infinitely easier than in the 2020s or 2030s, but here we are. Best always. PM
Hi Paul. Do you have a "leader" in mind that would return us to 1960 America? We actually had a budget surplus that year plus a defense budget less than half of that of 2025 in inflation adjusted spending. Perhaps Ron Paul - one of the last candidates for whom I voted - was the only one close.
It would take at least a decade of true conservative leadership to MAGA(follow Argentina’s progress). That’s not going to happen. So we just need to ready ourselves for the inevitable collapse. Nothing can stop that. The most important factor will be who is our leader when the SHTF. If it’s a leftist, we know it will be over. If it’s Trump, or a True conservative, we will stand a chance of rebuilding on the hope of following law and order, after the democrat cities burn and many tens of thousands of leftist are gone. I know it’s not as simple or “black and white” as it sounds. But it is…..
The older I get the more I discover that most things ARE just as simple as they seem. It's the exponential increase in worthless, agenda-driven static that confuses many people...
But we were talking about returning to 1960 when there was an actual budget surplus and the defense budget adjusted for inflation was less than half of the 2025 budget. Trump is definitely not the politician for that job. Are there any true conservatives in your book?
There are plenty of true "conservatives" out there (I use the quotation marks because the word is fairly useless), but not one of them has a chance in hell of ever being elected POTUS. That train left the station decades ago and is never coming back.
Who is screwed David? Nobody! Trump is a win win for America. Cleaning up the demented third world democrat cities and saving the lives of the ignorant that don’t support him or America. But he continues because he cares for the Majority of people who want the RIGHT thing. The end of the LEFT. Don’t even look at our poor host, who now only has a few readers left, due to his leftist views. This very well can be the end of the long overdue run of the party of mental illness. Everything these most disgusting people say and do proves how unstable and corrupt they are.
Neither, but don’t get me wrong we are screwed as well. It doesn’t matter it is the debt that will do it. When the world stops buying your treasuries, it doesn’t matter who is driving the bus when it goes off the cliff. Trump was your chance but the OBBB screwed the pooch.
C.A. Ron Paul was not electable, likely because he told the truth. Had he gotten far enough along in the process. I would have voted for him. I voted for every alternative candidate that came down the pike. My favorites: George Wallace and Pat Buchanan. I didn't care for Ross Perot, but I voted for him, anyway. I think the way to play it has to be doing this in gradual shifts. Warts and all, Donald Trump fought back and set the tone. It is up to successive players to pick up the ball and run with it. The trouble is, we have a situation in this country today where polarization is killing progress, national unity no longer exists, and the debt bomb is killing the Dollar and the Economy. I don't see a return to 1960 America as possible. Demographics alone kill that idea. In 1960, America was still 90% white, welfare as we know it today did not exist, and the Dollar was strong. It did not take near as much to live a middle class life. What we need to do, in my opinion, is focus on and return to the values/culture that got us the apex of 1960. Best always. PM
Rule by executive order was also not envisioned by the Constitution. In fact, George Washington turned down being “king” and refused running for a third term.
Our government was built around basic principles of what at the time were considered to have universal appeal among the citizens no matter the peripheral disagreement. The basic idea that in order for each individual to achieve his/her maximum potential, freedom and liberty were required. That's what the Bill of Right is all about. We are to the point in this country where only 50% of the electorate believe that individual rights are the key to a successful nation. The other 50% want top-down, big government control that the Founders were trying to escape. Now, for the last 30 years, the country has been at cross purposes, and we are getting nowhere fast. Lacking political consensus, executive orders (and they are NOT laws!), have been used to effect work-arounds. Best always. PM
Pence was a good governor here in Indiana. It turns out he was not national-scene material. President Trump has a share of the blame; he was wanting the evangelic faction support he believed Pence would bring to the election effort. Mike Pence's brother, Greg, has been an effective representative for Indiana as well. We generally agree politically, or so I gather from your comments, and I appreciate that. Hanging Mike Pence, even in jest, will create more harm than good. Best always. PM
He was a good governor. He was not national-scene material. President Trump is partly to blame; he brought Pence on board hoping to secure the evangelical vote. Best always. PM
He was a decent governor in Indiana. I'm sorry he wasn't national-scene material, because he did a good job here, keeping Indiana 2/3rds super-majority Repub. Best always. PM
BB, I get it! President Trump is worse than Mussolini, Satan and Hitler combined. Let’s get another wretched communist like Killary or his favorite son, Obummer back in office! As he writes his nonsensical screeds from what used to be France or his tax haven in Ireland. He doesn’t visit his Argentinian much anymore, since he found out who actually owns it. Lifestyles of the rich and not so famous, don’t you know. Maybe BB should buy a place in Hollyweird, he’d fit right in that hellhole. He and NewScum would make a great team!
Sir sadly I must agree with you and your analysis of BB. Granted Trump is not perfect for he is a human who is subject to all flaws associated a human; however, he is a quantum leap above all the treasonous thieving garbage we have had within our federal government over the last eight years! The debt and inflation will continue irrespective of who occupies the office of POTUS and it is just a matter of time before something drastic will occur and rearrange our fiat monetary system. I personally hold Nixon responsible for the financial mess our country currently faces and this is due his decoupling our dollar from gold. Nixon allowed the thieving ass bankers (rothschild’s) and their minions to steal the country and citizens blind and we are experiencing this fiasco on a daily basis!!!
I agree with your assessment; however, I do think Trump and Bessant are giving serious consideration to an agenda to possibly rectify the situation, possibly with the monetizing of the Fort Knox Gold or the issue of a Gold Bond! I am like all other citizens but I do think Trump has a plan!!!
Hope you are correct! The WEF globalist hate him and will do anything to eliminate him including killing him! I do believe Kennedy was killed by the Trilateral Commission and Bilderbergs for attempting the same agenda. The world is being controlled by mentally ill narcissistic evil satanic bastards and we billions of world citizens should wake to this fact!
My guess is for the same reason Nixon took the out. DeGaulle effectively called our bluff, insisting on remittances in gold. Not doing what Nixon did would have forced us to face the end game in 1971 instead of today. And though I am not pleased with Nixon's action, it was LBJ who put him on that hot seat via the Great Society scam and the Viet Nam disaster. Best always. PM
Your comments are ridiculous, Bill. You need to read Zero Hedge's write ups on the Russiagate Affair. You show yourself to be truly ignorant of what you are trying to defend, the violation of the American Constitution by political players who have sworn to defend it and furthermore who are committing treason. So you better realize who you are defending before you go off on your rants agains't someone, Trump, who is trying to restore the American birthright, The US Constitution. Furthermore you are writing to group of people who can interpret who is lying and who is telling the truth, intuitively. You are gonna lose even if you are right about tariffs.
If you believe in the foundational principals of the American experiment, Thomas Massie is the one congressman that consistently upholds those principles.
If one opposes Thomas Massie, they obviously oppose America's founding principles.
Its obvious Trump does not want his policies to be saddled by principles.
Once again, Bonner finds a way to insult the working class backbone of America. I happen to think eastern Kentucky and western Georgia are beautiful places. Bill B. needs to get out of that garbage can called Baltimore and see some flyover country! It’s still beautiful 🤩
Bills home town of Baltimore is in the top five of the most dangerous cities in the world. It’s evident that Bills beliefs may have had a profound influence on that fact, and the other fact that he ran from the same insane policies that he believes in, explains even more the liberal mentality that has helped destroy America.
Absolutely. They love to crap in their nest and then move on to “greener” pas and start the whole process anew. The hypocrisy is mind boggling. At least he’s spending most of his time overseas now, except for the fact in this connected world, he can still instantly spread his destructive communist ideology back to America.
Exactly brother! Just another bit of Democrat logic🤔 if anything a democrat does can be labeled “logical”………. “ WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following the announcement that the president had ordered the federalization of law enforcement in the nation's capital, Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser warned that Trump's crime-fighting measures would unfairly impact criminals.”🤔
“Jews made the desert bloom.” Actually most Zionist Colonizers were city folks. The policy was “Kill the buffalo” acquire Arab land cut all the fruit, nut and olive trees and despoil the land so that it could not produce food.
The Jews had the narrative for 70 years, Arabs reacted badly giving them fodder.
Now, Arabs can’t act at all, 2 million people being slaughtered, starved.
Trump, the US government, most of congress supports it.
It’s ramped killing, destruction; if you support it, participate in it, then you are evil, the opposite of good; you are incapable of good. No matter what you say, your actions, your fruit, displays the reality.
where were the fruit nut and olive trees? Hmm, you start off saying the jews made the dessert bloom then say they cut all the trees down. Fact is, that land under the ottoman empire was nothing but desert. Unattached, as Palestine was never a country nor a state, never, not even once. What you have in terms of Palestinians are really what has become Jordan, and Jordan don't want them. Neither does Egypt, nor any other Arab state. There is a message in that.
That’s a fact jack! Romans called it Palestine as a thumb in their eyes. No such thing as Palestinians. Most folks are just ignorant fools who have no idea what they’re talking about. Useless idiots is what Papa Joe called them. The “Palestinians” are just another, in a long line, of people being used by the murderous leftists.
In 1900, there were 2 million people there; they subsisted from the land. They did it effectively for 2,000 years after the Roman destruction and some were there subsisting for as long as history.
Do you have a source for the "nothing but desert"? ChatGPT says this: "Yes, agriculture was deeply embedded in Palestinian life well before 1948, spanning millennia.
Under the Mandate, Palestinian farming was substantial and expanding, particularly in cash crops like citrus, olives, and vegetables."
Great - if that is true, tell us what their currency was called? What did their Flag look like? Were they a Democracy, Theocracy, etc.? What was their native language? What was their national anthem? Who were their Founding Fathers or even their President?
You can't answer ANY of that because they were not/are not a "people." They are the lowest of the Arab world - that's why no other Arab Nation will take them in. A few have tried in the last 100 years, gotten badly burned and have had to forcefully expel the "palestinians" because they could not exist in a normal Society.
Who's crying? Just stating facts. Why do you need a flag or a currency to ensure your right to a land? Why do you even need a government if you can get along without it? Why do you need a President or Dear Leader or Politburo? But I hope you know that even Nuttyyahoo's father's real name was Mileikowsky - a Pole not a Semite. What gives Nutty the right to live there?
I don’t believe it’s an “Arab” issue more than a Muslim issue. Like water and oil, these people will never mix. It would definitely be the opposite if Hamas had the power….
My feeling is nothing else does much good when corruption is a rampant as is obvious, USAID, FBI, CIA, DOJ, wokism, a boy in every girl's dressing room, competing against women in women's sports, covid shots that cause greater chance of infection and pay government and media off by those would could care less about the nations children and their health. The only way to improve America is to remove the corruption first i.e. those who want to destroy the country and attack the basis of their sworn integrity and honor to defend its constitution. It doesn't do much good to have these traitors voting against every effort to establish a collaborative democracy that has integrity.
The first step is to remove the rot and dishonesty and then work with a truly collaborative team to get honest democracy working again. Furthermore it is extremely detrimental to improvement in the concept of collaborative democracy when one's "allies" are trying to undermine the nearest government to democracy in the world at every turn including trying to start WW III so they can steal some other country's resources. Especially if the leaders of the "allies" are lying at every turn and consistently want to undermine the Constitutional Republic so they can retain power.
Although I agree that debt is likely to cause a financial collapse first, I think if I was the president I would be ridding society of these power hungry liars / traitors and our supposed "allies" before I tried to resurrect the Constitutional Republic to a true collaborative democracy. It would be essential to remove their power and positions to fight before trying to direct society into making constructive changes and sacrifices that are necessary to achieve that goal.
Mackinac, I would agree with Your approach . Well actually I do agree. But this would not happen as Somebody may come to Your door and say , if You do not do things My way something bad will happen to You or Your family. In My opinion this world could stoop no lower for power, prestige and money. Sort of glad I am a peon!
Don: Yes me too, glad I'm a peon from this perspective. Have you read Zero Hedge's articles on the whole Russia Gate Affair? It's pretty obvious Trump's team has these traitors red handed. Now whether or not they can convict them is a different story but I'm guessing yes. The evidence is simply too clear this whole democratic consortium including the media is guilty of exactly what we suspected all along and exactly why we believe in Trump.
Human intuition is, after watching a long drawn out affair, like this Russia Gate stuff, is pretty damn good. Now the information, the documents and the collusion confirm what my intuition has been telling me all along. These traitors are colluding to undermine America and to install themselves in power.
Now whether or not these corrupt American colluders/traitors intend to be part of Davosian plans to establish global control is still in question. However viewing all their supporters, like George Soros, Al Gore, Justin Trudeau, Mark Carney etc. human intuition essentially confirms this too. There are just too many paths crossing and supporting the whole nest of corruption vying for control.
Yes Mack, I know the silence from our DOJ and FBI is deafening. I believe they are in the process of making the biggest corruption case In history against the entire Democratic Party. It will be so devastating for the left that many thousands will be incarcerated and hopefully a few given the death penalty for treason. The first move is securing the corrupt cities with federal and military support and protecting the innocent in those cities during the coming riots. It will be historic and such an important event to clean up the leftist mess and take back our nation 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
For the sake of freedom and liberty, I hope Your view is a correct one. Freedom always comes with a price. It may not be pretty, but has to be effective.
I am still hoping that we can take it back. Justice must be served otherwise look at Democratically control cities as the example and their defunded police forces. Now we must rebuild trust in government and police.
As more and more of the truth comes out against the most corrupt government(and the idiots who elected them)in our nations history, the more the left will go insane. We are witnessing the demise of the left as more Americans are realizing they have been lied to and fed such 🐂 💩 that even the dumbest are waking up. The next couple of weeks will be very interesting 🤔
Another demented column from Bongo Bill. It's not worth going through the points one by one. You just have to look at the first point he made about so-called MAGA influencers: "Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Rand Paul and, notably, Mike Pence". Pence, a MAGA influencer? Where has Bongo Bill been? And, neither are the others, especially Carlson and Paul. They are just conservatives who agree with Trump when they think he's right and disagree when they think he is wrong. This is just Bongo Bill's technique of setting up strawmen just to knock them down. It is truly remarkable and pathetic how Bongo Bill goes to great lengths to find anything and anyone who disagrees with Trump so he can include it in his columns.
Who didn't see this coming from the Bonner keyboard? Some of us even called it last week.
You cite Mike Pence and AIPAC as "proof" that the MAGA coalition is coming apart?
𝙈𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚??! Bill, seriously - you need to take some time off and get out more if you sincerely believe either one of those entities represents the Movement. This person and that organization are completely despised and typically distrusted, respectively, by nearly every MAGAT out here in Realville. This is not a secret.
What are you attempting to sell us, that the defense industry and not Putin are the deciding factor in when this war stops? Come on Bill you cant believe that. If the U.S werent arming Ukraine, Russia would own more then half the country by now. Lets give Trump at least the chance he deserves to help end the killing.
not really..... they were Ukraine b4 russia, but as usual the huskies had bigger guns and did not care about who they aimed them at, you know, like Hamas.....
Working, I can’t cut and paste! You can try a simple google search and sift. It’s just a matter of history. I guess you can take that, at this point in time, with a grain of salt too.
President Trump could cure cancer and you guys would condemn him still as a demon.. where were you guys when Biden was ruining my country. I only keep taking this for Tom’s financial views. Good grief get off the Trump hater syndrome!!

You’re not aware that Saudi Arabia allows sales in other currencies and will likely join BRICS?
...yes, acutely aware and that is why I do not sweat Trump's questionable dictums at the moment.
I share the concerns Mr. Bonner has about "Our Leader".
He is a nut.
But a nut is a seed, and this particular nut's sewing is what I believe this country needs right now...
No it was Nixon & we know he was a crook. He bailed as he would have been impeached
but he said "I'm not a crook"....
That is what all criminals say, I am innocent--I didn't do it etc-----
Funny, thanks Angry Icebergs

Toxic masculinity’s record: ZERO wins and hundreds (thousands?) of losses. “Effete” (your label) China has a record of 3000 years of peace in its treatment of the rest of the world and in spite of only 50 years of exposure to a world totally different to its previous 2950 years it has surpassed the US in virtually every measurement of progress and development This is the result of REJECTING the sword!
I don’t recall anyone here ever calling for war Ed. It’s possible that I might have missed it though. Have a great day!
You probably weren’t around in the 40’s when Generals LeMay, MacArthur, et al , were itching to drop A-bombs on the coastal cities of China. Fortunately Truman put a stop to those calls, but the Dulles brothers built the swamp that has guided us into more than
50 macho military disasters. Do you really think that the Palestinians (1947), Iranians (1952), Guatemalans (1953), Chileans (1973), Argentinos, Nicaraguans, Vietamese, Panamanians, Afghans, and 45 others put out the calls to be mutilated, starved, murdered by US warmongers and their equally evil “friends”?
...yet it was the U.S. and her war machine that eliminated the Nazi's, imploded the CCCP and developed much of the neo-tech we can no longer survive without.
And importantly to your pointlessness Mr. Uehling, you are still here.
How can he do much when so many of his appointments are held up by crooked Democrats, the founders never thought there would be so many people like Shumer and Pelosi and Shiff!
An Nixon taking us off the gold standard, he didn’t have much choice, the system was about to collapse, he just saved it for a while, and the follower’s continued on down the path to where we are today. The ignorant kept voting in crooks and thieves , and most of all,Liars!!! The most skillful liars the world has ever seen! You can keep your health plan! The border is closed! Trump is Hitler! They’re going to push grandma off the cliff! And the most recent bunch of lies, “they are destroying our democracy!! doing exactly what they have been doing for decades!!!
Look how many believe this terrible lie!!
Nixon had a choice; the choice he took was the easier one. Funny how that works. But your point is valid; the next guy in line would have done it. A restart in 1968 would have been infinitely easier than in the 2020s or 2030s, but here we are. Best always. PM
Hi Paul. Do you have a "leader" in mind that would return us to 1960 America? We actually had a budget surplus that year plus a defense budget less than half of that of 2025 in inflation adjusted spending. Perhaps Ron Paul - one of the last candidates for whom I voted - was the only one close.
It would take at least a decade of true conservative leadership to MAGA(follow Argentina’s progress). That’s not going to happen. So we just need to ready ourselves for the inevitable collapse. Nothing can stop that. The most important factor will be who is our leader when the SHTF. If it’s a leftist, we know it will be over. If it’s Trump, or a True conservative, we will stand a chance of rebuilding on the hope of following law and order, after the democrat cities burn and many tens of thousands of leftist are gone. I know it’s not as simple or “black and white” as it sounds. But it is…..
The older I get the more I discover that most things ARE just as simple as they seem. It's the exponential increase in worthless, agenda-driven static that confuses many people...
Exactly brother! The “ worthless, agenda-driven” 💩💩💩 called the Democratic Party, or more precisely, Donkey 💩💩💩
But we were talking about returning to 1960 when there was an actual budget surplus and the defense budget adjusted for inflation was less than half of the 2025 budget. Trump is definitely not the politician for that job. Are there any true conservatives in your book?
There are plenty of true "conservatives" out there (I use the quotation marks because the word is fairly useless), but not one of them has a chance in hell of ever being elected POTUS. That train left the station decades ago and is never coming back.
Given the almost certain anointing of JDV by Trump you know exactly who you are getting for what is likely another 8 years. You guys are screwed.
You make my point. You say, "You guys are screwed." Not "We are screwed." There is no "we" any longer. Best always. PM
Who is screwed David? Nobody! Trump is a win win for America. Cleaning up the demented third world democrat cities and saving the lives of the ignorant that don’t support him or America. But he continues because he cares for the Majority of people who want the RIGHT thing. The end of the LEFT. Don’t even look at our poor host, who now only has a few readers left, due to his leftist views. This very well can be the end of the long overdue run of the party of mental illness. Everything these most disgusting people say and do proves how unstable and corrupt they are.
Are you writing from Europe or Canada? Let's REALLY talk about who is screwed.....
Neither, but don’t get me wrong we are screwed as well. It doesn’t matter it is the debt that will do it. When the world stops buying your treasuries, it doesn’t matter who is driving the bus when it goes off the cliff. Trump was your chance but the OBBB screwed the pooch.
C.A. Ron Paul was not electable, likely because he told the truth. Had he gotten far enough along in the process. I would have voted for him. I voted for every alternative candidate that came down the pike. My favorites: George Wallace and Pat Buchanan. I didn't care for Ross Perot, but I voted for him, anyway. I think the way to play it has to be doing this in gradual shifts. Warts and all, Donald Trump fought back and set the tone. It is up to successive players to pick up the ball and run with it. The trouble is, we have a situation in this country today where polarization is killing progress, national unity no longer exists, and the debt bomb is killing the Dollar and the Economy. I don't see a return to 1960 America as possible. Demographics alone kill that idea. In 1960, America was still 90% white, welfare as we know it today did not exist, and the Dollar was strong. It did not take near as much to live a middle class life. What we need to do, in my opinion, is focus on and return to the values/culture that got us the apex of 1960. Best always. PM
Rule by executive order was also not envisioned by the Constitution. In fact, George Washington turned down being “king” and refused running for a third term.
Our government was built around basic principles of what at the time were considered to have universal appeal among the citizens no matter the peripheral disagreement. The basic idea that in order for each individual to achieve his/her maximum potential, freedom and liberty were required. That's what the Bill of Right is all about. We are to the point in this country where only 50% of the electorate believe that individual rights are the key to a successful nation. The other 50% want top-down, big government control that the Founders were trying to escape. Now, for the last 30 years, the country has been at cross purposes, and we are getting nowhere fast. Lacking political consensus, executive orders (and they are NOT laws!), have been used to effect work-arounds. Best always. PM
Pence is a two-bit knee buckler of the first degree...and that's being nice.
Sir you are dead on the money, pence is nothing but a deep state globalist treasonous traitor and should be hanging from the gallows!!!
Why waste resources building the gallows, just find the nearest light pole
Pence was a good governor here in Indiana. It turns out he was not national-scene material. President Trump has a share of the blame; he was wanting the evangelic faction support he believed Pence would bring to the election effort. Mike Pence's brother, Greg, has been an effective representative for Indiana as well. We generally agree politically, or so I gather from your comments, and I appreciate that. Hanging Mike Pence, even in jest, will create more harm than good. Best always. PM
He was a good governor. He was not national-scene material. President Trump is partly to blame; he brought Pence on board hoping to secure the evangelical vote. Best always. PM
He was a decent governor in Indiana. I'm sorry he wasn't national-scene material, because he did a good job here, keeping Indiana 2/3rds super-majority Repub. Best always. PM
BB, I get it! President Trump is worse than Mussolini, Satan and Hitler combined. Let’s get another wretched communist like Killary or his favorite son, Obummer back in office! As he writes his nonsensical screeds from what used to be France or his tax haven in Ireland. He doesn’t visit his Argentinian much anymore, since he found out who actually owns it. Lifestyles of the rich and not so famous, don’t you know. Maybe BB should buy a place in Hollyweird, he’d fit right in that hellhole. He and NewScum would make a great team!
Sir sadly I must agree with you and your analysis of BB. Granted Trump is not perfect for he is a human who is subject to all flaws associated a human; however, he is a quantum leap above all the treasonous thieving garbage we have had within our federal government over the last eight years! The debt and inflation will continue irrespective of who occupies the office of POTUS and it is just a matter of time before something drastic will occur and rearrange our fiat monetary system. I personally hold Nixon responsible for the financial mess our country currently faces and this is due his decoupling our dollar from gold. Nixon allowed the thieving ass bankers (rothschild’s) and their minions to steal the country and citizens blind and we are experiencing this fiasco on a daily basis!!!
True, but no president after Nixon reversed that decision. Why is that? I hold them equally responsible.
I agree with your assessment; however, I do think Trump and Bessant are giving serious consideration to an agenda to possibly rectify the situation, possibly with the monetizing of the Fort Knox Gold or the issue of a Gold Bond! I am like all other citizens but I do think Trump has a plan!!!
I agree that Trump does have an end game. Hopefully he can get there before the whole system collapses.
Hope you are correct! The WEF globalist hate him and will do anything to eliminate him including killing him! I do believe Kennedy was killed by the Trilateral Commission and Bilderbergs for attempting the same agenda. The world is being controlled by mentally ill narcissistic evil satanic bastards and we billions of world citizens should wake to this fact!
My guess is for the same reason Nixon took the out. DeGaulle effectively called our bluff, insisting on remittances in gold. Not doing what Nixon did would have forced us to face the end game in 1971 instead of today. And though I am not pleased with Nixon's action, it was LBJ who put him on that hot seat via the Great Society scam and the Viet Nam disaster. Best always. PM
🤣
Mike Pence has about as much influence on MAGA as Adam Schiff. What a ridiculous statement. SMH.
Your comments are ridiculous, Bill. You need to read Zero Hedge's write ups on the Russiagate Affair. You show yourself to be truly ignorant of what you are trying to defend, the violation of the American Constitution by political players who have sworn to defend it and furthermore who are committing treason. So you better realize who you are defending before you go off on your rants agains't someone, Trump, who is trying to restore the American birthright, The US Constitution. Furthermore you are writing to group of people who can interpret who is lying and who is telling the truth, intuitively. You are gonna lose even if you are right about tariffs.
If you believe in the foundational principals of the American experiment, Thomas Massie is the one congressman that consistently upholds those principles.
If one opposes Thomas Massie, they obviously oppose America's founding principles.
Its obvious Trump does not want his policies to be saddled by principles.
Mr. Bonner says that over and over. Best always. PM
...Ukraine is not a partisan issue, it's a peace settlement vs warpig issue.
Too many on both sides are keen to continue the bloodshed (including Europeans).
“The hills and backwoods of Eastern Kentucky and Western Georgia aren’t exactly the Promised Land.” Amen to that. I think Massey and MTG are awesome.
Once again, Bonner finds a way to insult the working class backbone of America. I happen to think eastern Kentucky and western Georgia are beautiful places. Bill B. needs to get out of that garbage can called Baltimore and see some flyover country! It’s still beautiful 🤩
Bills home town of Baltimore is in the top five of the most dangerous cities in the world. It’s evident that Bills beliefs may have had a profound influence on that fact, and the other fact that he ran from the same insane policies that he believes in, explains even more the liberal mentality that has helped destroy America.
Absolutely. They love to crap in their nest and then move on to “greener” pas and start the whole process anew. The hypocrisy is mind boggling. At least he’s spending most of his time overseas now, except for the fact in this connected world, he can still instantly spread his destructive communist ideology back to America.
Exactly brother! Just another bit of Democrat logic🤔 if anything a democrat does can be labeled “logical”………. “ WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following the announcement that the president had ordered the federalization of law enforcement in the nation's capital, Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser warned that Trump's crime-fighting measures would unfairly impact criminals.”🤔
The United States is AKA West Israel.
“Jews made the desert bloom.” Actually most Zionist Colonizers were city folks. The policy was “Kill the buffalo” acquire Arab land cut all the fruit, nut and olive trees and despoil the land so that it could not produce food.
The Jews had the narrative for 70 years, Arabs reacted badly giving them fodder.
Now, Arabs can’t act at all, 2 million people being slaughtered, starved.
Trump, the US government, most of congress supports it.
It’s ramped killing, destruction; if you support it, participate in it, then you are evil, the opposite of good; you are incapable of good. No matter what you say, your actions, your fruit, displays the reality.
where were the fruit nut and olive trees? Hmm, you start off saying the jews made the dessert bloom then say they cut all the trees down. Fact is, that land under the ottoman empire was nothing but desert. Unattached, as Palestine was never a country nor a state, never, not even once. What you have in terms of Palestinians are really what has become Jordan, and Jordan don't want them. Neither does Egypt, nor any other Arab state. There is a message in that.
That’s a fact jack! Romans called it Palestine as a thumb in their eyes. No such thing as Palestinians. Most folks are just ignorant fools who have no idea what they’re talking about. Useless idiots is what Papa Joe called them. The “Palestinians” are just another, in a long line, of people being used by the murderous leftists.
In 1900, there were 2 million people there; they subsisted from the land. They did it effectively for 2,000 years after the Roman destruction and some were there subsisting for as long as history.
Do you have a source for the "nothing but desert"? ChatGPT says this: "Yes, agriculture was deeply embedded in Palestinian life well before 1948, spanning millennia.
Under the Mandate, Palestinian farming was substantial and expanding, particularly in cash crops like citrus, olives, and vegetables."
"Cash Crops" you say?
Great - if that is true, tell us what their currency was called? What did their Flag look like? Were they a Democracy, Theocracy, etc.? What was their native language? What was their national anthem? Who were their Founding Fathers or even their President?
You can't answer ANY of that because they were not/are not a "people." They are the lowest of the Arab world - that's why no other Arab Nation will take them in. A few have tried in the last 100 years, gotten badly burned and have had to forcefully expel the "palestinians" because they could not exist in a normal Society.
Cry harder - Facts matter....
Who's crying? Just stating facts. Why do you need a flag or a currency to ensure your right to a land? Why do you even need a government if you can get along without it? Why do you need a President or Dear Leader or Politburo? But I hope you know that even Nuttyyahoo's father's real name was Mileikowsky - a Pole not a Semite. What gives Nutty the right to live there?
Maybe because the populace VOTED for him?
Now do Sheinbaum or Carney....
They voted for Hitler too. Funny how those two guys have a lot in common.
Palestine is traditionally the western arc of what was historically called "The Fertile Crescent." Best always. PM
I don’t believe it’s an “Arab” issue more than a Muslim issue. Like water and oil, these people will never mix. It would definitely be the opposite if Hamas had the power….
Then where are their Arab brothers and sisters? The lack of action is telling.
The question, is, where am I? In reality, when you say, “Where are they”, throughout history, they are never there.
Bill states an uncomfortable truth. It's the way things are.
In our town we just laid to rest a brave sailor....he served on
the USS Liberty.
My feeling is nothing else does much good when corruption is a rampant as is obvious, USAID, FBI, CIA, DOJ, wokism, a boy in every girl's dressing room, competing against women in women's sports, covid shots that cause greater chance of infection and pay government and media off by those would could care less about the nations children and their health. The only way to improve America is to remove the corruption first i.e. those who want to destroy the country and attack the basis of their sworn integrity and honor to defend its constitution. It doesn't do much good to have these traitors voting against every effort to establish a collaborative democracy that has integrity.
The first step is to remove the rot and dishonesty and then work with a truly collaborative team to get honest democracy working again. Furthermore it is extremely detrimental to improvement in the concept of collaborative democracy when one's "allies" are trying to undermine the nearest government to democracy in the world at every turn including trying to start WW III so they can steal some other country's resources. Especially if the leaders of the "allies" are lying at every turn and consistently want to undermine the Constitutional Republic so they can retain power.
Although I agree that debt is likely to cause a financial collapse first, I think if I was the president I would be ridding society of these power hungry liars / traitors and our supposed "allies" before I tried to resurrect the Constitutional Republic to a true collaborative democracy. It would be essential to remove their power and positions to fight before trying to direct society into making constructive changes and sacrifices that are necessary to achieve that goal.
Mackinac, I would agree with Your approach . Well actually I do agree. But this would not happen as Somebody may come to Your door and say , if You do not do things My way something bad will happen to You or Your family. In My opinion this world could stoop no lower for power, prestige and money. Sort of glad I am a peon!
Don: Yes me too, glad I'm a peon from this perspective. Have you read Zero Hedge's articles on the whole Russia Gate Affair? It's pretty obvious Trump's team has these traitors red handed. Now whether or not they can convict them is a different story but I'm guessing yes. The evidence is simply too clear this whole democratic consortium including the media is guilty of exactly what we suspected all along and exactly why we believe in Trump.
Human intuition is, after watching a long drawn out affair, like this Russia Gate stuff, is pretty damn good. Now the information, the documents and the collusion confirm what my intuition has been telling me all along. These traitors are colluding to undermine America and to install themselves in power.
Now whether or not these corrupt American colluders/traitors intend to be part of Davosian plans to establish global control is still in question. However viewing all their supporters, like George Soros, Al Gore, Justin Trudeau, Mark Carney etc. human intuition essentially confirms this too. There are just too many paths crossing and supporting the whole nest of corruption vying for control.
Make Hangings Great Again.....
Yes Mack, I know the silence from our DOJ and FBI is deafening. I believe they are in the process of making the biggest corruption case In history against the entire Democratic Party. It will be so devastating for the left that many thousands will be incarcerated and hopefully a few given the death penalty for treason. The first move is securing the corrupt cities with federal and military support and protecting the innocent in those cities during the coming riots. It will be historic and such an important event to clean up the leftist mess and take back our nation 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
For the sake of freedom and liberty, I hope Your view is a correct one. Freedom always comes with a price. It may not be pretty, but has to be effective.
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
I am still hoping that we can take it back. Justice must be served otherwise look at Democratically control cities as the example and their defunded police forces. Now we must rebuild trust in government and police.
As more and more of the truth comes out against the most corrupt government(and the idiots who elected them)in our nations history, the more the left will go insane. We are witnessing the demise of the left as more Americans are realizing they have been lied to and fed such 🐂 💩 that even the dumbest are waking up. The next couple of weeks will be very interesting 🤔
Another demented column from Bongo Bill. It's not worth going through the points one by one. You just have to look at the first point he made about so-called MAGA influencers: "Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Rand Paul and, notably, Mike Pence". Pence, a MAGA influencer? Where has Bongo Bill been? And, neither are the others, especially Carlson and Paul. They are just conservatives who agree with Trump when they think he's right and disagree when they think he is wrong. This is just Bongo Bill's technique of setting up strawmen just to knock them down. It is truly remarkable and pathetic how Bongo Bill goes to great lengths to find anything and anyone who disagrees with Trump so he can include it in his columns.
Who didn't see this coming from the Bonner keyboard? Some of us even called it last week.
You cite Mike Pence and AIPAC as "proof" that the MAGA coalition is coming apart?
𝙈𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚??! Bill, seriously - you need to take some time off and get out more if you sincerely believe either one of those entities represents the Movement. This person and that organization are completely despised and typically distrusted, respectively, by nearly every MAGAT out here in Realville. This is not a secret.
Sheesh....
Yah. I had to laugh at the Mike Pence comment and posted how insane this was.
you are eating your breathe, Bill bullsitter bonner has stooped to fabrications to sell his narrative.
What are you attempting to sell us, that the defense industry and not Putin are the deciding factor in when this war stops? Come on Bill you cant believe that. If the U.S werent arming Ukraine, Russia would own more then half the country by now. Lets give Trump at least the chance he deserves to help end the killing.
The whole of the Ukraine has traditionally been a part of Russia, if I recall correctly.
not really..... they were Ukraine b4 russia, but as usual the huskies had bigger guns and did not care about who they aimed them at, you know, like Hamas.....
They’ve been attached at the hip since around the 6th century or so.
where is the proof of that?
Working, I can’t cut and paste! You can try a simple google search and sift. It’s just a matter of history. I guess you can take that, at this point in time, with a grain of salt too.
Since the 9th century Kiev has been ruled by 7 different governments, of which Russia held the longest reign.
Kiev was the first Former federation of East Slavic tribes.
Kievan Rus' is considered the historical predecessor of modern Russia, as it laid the foundation for the development of the Russian state.
Me thinks you are confusing Russia and the USSR.
President Trump could cure cancer and you guys would condemn him still as a demon.. where were you guys when Biden was ruining my country. I only keep taking this for Tom’s financial views. Good grief get off the Trump hater syndrome!!
