Yeah, we don’t like Extremism, either. But have you noticed lately, everyone seems to be a crook, illiterate and ignorant of America’s founding Principles, as they’re off working their own game plan?”
Manic Friday just ahead.
When we take the high-level view, it’s like the values-based, clear-thinking, financially-savvy, American Middle has been teleported “off-planet.” We’re not sure where, but they’re welcome to reappear any time. Call Clown Central in DC and let ’em know what POS’s they are for this mockery of Justice. Not that they’ll care: Responsive government left in the early 1960’s.
As Jimi Hendrix warned in “All Along the Watchtower”
“…the hour’s getting late…”
Here’s our Thursday Perp-Walk:
- Justice John Roberts is covering-up for the dems by not naming the whistle-blower who is sure as hell IS a “public figure.” Does this mean the Judge will also quash the original third-hand source of this coup attempt in this sham trial should it go to witnesses?
- Alan Dershowitz has gone “drifty.” He’s opened up a fallback position that a President can “quid pro quo” and that’s not impeachable. Dershowitz is making a classic trial error – underestimating the mood of the lynch mob he’s addressing. Quid Pro – is like beauty, Alan: Eyes of the beholders. Talk to the mob, not the Bar Association.
- The American Media which, points out NewsBusters, in “Evening News Spin: 100% Negative on Trump Defense, 95% Positive Dems” is totally co-opted and dancing to the mob chants. The Obamanistas and NewLefties are very likely “tipping” crooked reporters with unfounded innuendo (as they have since the inauguration). Result? The feckless media doesn’t have enough old-fashion journo-balls to ask questions critical of the 2-bit Coup Against Trump.
- Mitt Romney: Career
leach hackpolitician. who’s apparently trying to up-end the acquittal vote possible in the Senate tomorrow. Romney’s game seems to be nabbing an “appointed VP” slot if the Lynch Mob ousts Trump. Mittens could then Big-Shot his way into running for president. America’s in trouble. - John Bolton: Warmongering NeoCon who’s promoting his book. He’s ready to turn on his former boss because NeoCons are what? The data suggests to us they’re Ethical sell-outs on a quest for “continuous war for continuous access.” Who leaked his book contents to the NY Times, we wonder? An Obamanista with publishing house connections, or the RINO members of the Coup Against the President? Noecons leach power from both parties under the guise of “foreign policy expertise.” Pass the Charmin. We should have let Schwarzkopf finish it.
- Joke-Who-Haunts-Us Warren: Like most lawyers, arguing the wrong case. Because while CNBC reports “Elizabeth Warren proposes criminal penalties for spreading voting disinformation online…” the fact is online media should NEVER have had “special privileges'” shielding them from libel and slander laws in the first place. Rather than repeal the “Social Media law” (bad law), Warren’s on a quest for another law (bad). Too many laws spoil the clarity of thought. This is why the book Three Felonies A Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent could be updated to at least 5 or 6 a-day now.
- Bernie Sanders: He’s going to run America into the hyper-inflationary ditch. While he’s got his hopes up in Iowa, his supporters are engaged in old-fashion voter intimidation threatening “Bern America” if these spoiled self-important socialists don’t prevail.
In case you haven’t figured out why the stock market is wobbling at the moment, let me lay it our for you in terms you can understand:
Compund Lessons
As we have been warning for YEARS, there comes a time when compound interest takes over the Federal Debt.
The same crooked media that made up Russian Collusion (none) and has a bunch of RINOs (like Mitt) angling for a hand-out from the coup, so too the Crooked Media has lied consistently about the size of the U.S. federal debt.
Here’s how The Con worked: For years, democrats have been champions of Deficit Spending. RINOs are hip-deep in it, too, however.
The ;lie was that the Federal Debt is a) Trumps fault and b) it’s about $23-trillion.
Wrong. On both counts. ALL GOVERNMENT SPENDING BEGINS IN THE HOUSE. Trump executes what the crazy-spenders and Free-Lunchers “make-up” on The Hill. Trump’s personality? Sure, it may suck. BUT blame numeracy in Congress when this all blows up.
The second part of the Lie is worse. The principal on the U.S. Federal Debt really is $23-trillion. The clowns in D.C. don’t mention another as much as $40-trillion which is owed interest payments on said debt.
Example: The situation is like when you buy a house. Imagine saying “I just bought a $300,000 house.”
What are you really going to pay for it? The wrong answer is 300,000 divided by 360 months. Why, that would be $833.33 per month.
No, you will actually pay $1,350, for 350 months assuming you got a VA loan that’s locked (30-year fixed).
Over the life of the loan (even with never-before so low rates) you will pay $186,000 of interest. Making the REAL COST of the home $486,000 plus or minus a cheeseburger.
While the homeowner can write-off the interest, up to the first $750,000 of home value, (if purchased after Dec 2017) the Federal Government’s interest debt on the National Debt enjoys no such blessing.
In fact, the compounding is STILL going on and at a high-enough effective rate that by 2030 says the Wall Street Journal article here, the debt will eat 98% of U.S. Gross Domestic Product.
At least the Journal has enough brains to run the number, too.
The Stupid People Test
We are in run-away compounding mode. Coming a bit later than I have been expecting, but with the Debt going up a trillion a year for at least then next 11-years, that means incomes taxes will have to skyrocket. So, if you think the Trumpster’s economy is bad, wait till the Free Lunch Party gets out the spending gasoline and throws that on.
All the while, keeping borders open, letting people come to the US to “retire on USA taxpayer beneficence” and all the other Free Lunch Socialism crap that has been infiltrated into the American education system over the past 60-years.
In the end, Nikita Khrushchev didn’t need to say “We will bury you” and bang his shoe on the desk at the United Nations back in October of 1960.
All he needed to do was infiltrate Free Lunchers into the higher ed system in communes like Berkeley and liberal local school boards… We’ve stupidly picked up the shovel ourselves.
If everyone one of your friends doesn’t understand this Big Picture of how Perestroika was the largest Trojan Horse in history, you need a smarter set of friends.
Nikki through Bernie…all so warm and cuddly, these commies, are they not? Bravely tossing out an elected president to bankrupt America and and seize leadership of the Free Lunchy class. To finish the Soviet take-over of the West.
Just freaking marvelous. Still wonder why the stock market is heading south?
As Hendrix said “ …the hour’s getting late…” Pandering Mitt and Molotov Sanders. What could possibly go wrong?
Business News Central
The new Gross Domestic Product report is out.
Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 2.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2019 (table 1), according to the “advance” estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the third quarter, real GDP increased 2.1 percent.
The nice thing about the report is it let’s us update the M2 Velocity of Money value, which has been re-cratering (if that’s a word) of late.
Not a single market we track was up overnight. Global losers were led by Hong Kong’s Hang Seng down 711 points of 2.62 percent.
After the GDP number, Dow futures were down 183. Because not everyone is stupid. Although it’s sure hard not to believe that here lately.
How much gasoline? $82.575-billion just thbis morning in free money from the Fed. And Uncle Jerry says the gas will flow till at least April! Wheee!!!

“Bernie Sanders: He’s going to run America into the hyper-inflationary ditch.”
If the compounding issue is real, what is trying to be saved? It’s a train wreck either way.
Let Bernie torch it once and for all.
The problem is like feeding 2 rats. Pretty soon you have nothing but rats
A sad place, but this is how we see DC – rats nest
“A sad place, but this is how we see DC – rats nest”
I think you are giving those in DC supposedly looking out for the american public way to much credit.. I see DC as a venomous SNAKE DEN…
I am sure our for fathers are doing sumersaults in their graves..
“Bernie Sanders: He’s going to run America into the hyper-inflationary ditch.”
unfortunately OOWS.. with the zero interest and printing presses working at the speed of light.. we have been digging that ditch for a long time now..
Bernie could actually do some of the things he would like to do.. and if you look at them.. they make some sense in a way.. but.. we would have to quit spending the amount of money on wars.. and we have seen how that will play out with DJT… work for the people not the puppeteers.. has been a nightmare for him and his family.. so it won’t ever work.. the next person in will be a game player that is willing to do the puppeteers biddings..my hope is that is isn’t the person that we shall never talk about..
by the way speaking about that.. has julian assange commited suicide yet..or is he waiting to do that until he gets to america soil under our supervision..
I actually think we are upside down with the interest on our deficit.. the only logical action is.. charge everyone for the interest.. or go bankrupt on our debt and start from square one.. a total reboot of our country..
but Bernie’s a commie, and commies do things with a gun
“American Middle has been teleported “off-planet.”
I don’t think they are missing I think its all in the game plan .. I think that the middle has been eliminated.. with one in two on social programs.. there are now only two classes.. the haves and the have nots..
in Adolphs second book that seems to be the game plan.. that way they can have total control and the support of the majority of the population when its time that they take the step to take away from the Haves..
simple plan really .. promote greed and carnal desires. get the majority to depend on programs for survival then take away and give to the wealthy.. then they have the support to take what the wealthy have..
by the way how much of the NAZI loot has been recovered so far.. I had read that lately they did find barrels of gold teeth buried along with vast amounts of hair..for making uniforms.. but have they found all the art paintings etc..

Now we have the have nots, and the have yachts’
Cap’tn – brilliant prose – consider it stolen!
I’m sure I won’t be the first to mention this but Bob Dylan wrote “All Along the Watchtower”.
Hendrix covered. Although Hendrix is far more exciting to the ears.
thanks fred.. I appreciated the suggestion to bob dylan.. ended up listening to his music all morning.. what a talent he had…
phew.. I need to prep more..
I wonder if it will be this year yet.. or will it wait until the new administration is in.questions I have are… what kind of war will they get us involved with.. trying to bring back the economy.. will they let this new virus go unchecked .. or will they bring out the vaccine for it.. what devious things are being planned .. will DJT survive the puppeteers rath if reelected.. will I have to listen to ten more months of this constant drivel that is being put out in the news every day all day about Trump wanting to investigate corruption of an ex vp and his kid.. Not to mention the drivel being spit out by democrats.. how deep is this shizt anyway.. its all disgusting..
Hi Ho Silver! away..
It be called Secular Stagnation – as written about extensively by Al Hansen. USA economy is going to need at least a 4-5% rate cut as the Asian Contagion Global Recession gets rolling – so we B at 1.55% currently – back o napkin figuring looks like a Negative -3.5%.
Oh hot dam! The coot buys a new ski chalet somewhere in PNW..Whistler/Blackcomb/Revelstoke and da Bernake is going to PAY me 3.5% to take this Loan? What can possibly go wrong – damm might even use the Interest $$ da Bernake pays me for the Mortgage loan to Lever up my stock portfolio! This is better than money magic!
Shout out to the Financial Geniuses at the NOT Federal Reserve Bank – the Black Hole commeth!
Kaboom!
“Shout out to the Financial Geniuses at the NOT Federal Reserve Bank – the Black Hole commeth!” I couldn’t agree more crash,until the FED runs out of ink, paper, or warm bodies to man those printing presses! Paging Donner er Fed Party of 7!
If the Fed can’t keep all this money in motion without anyone complaining about what is going on, everything will blow up like in 2008. People are refinancing loans to get at home equity like in 2008. Let things slow down & It all blows up.
Term limits DAMMIT! 2 and done for all with no lobbying or government contracts for 10 years after. WTF is wrong with people?
How do these hacks/socialist/commies/wackos/numbskulls keep getting elected over and over again? Oh, wait. That’s right. Votes count. What a joke.
“Shout out to the Financial Geniuses at the NOT Federal Reserve Bank – the Black Hole commeth!” I couldn’t agree more crash,until the FED runs out of ink, paper, or warm bodies to man those printing presses! Paging Donner er Fed Party of 7!
Remember him very well good old Nikita ;). Your column points out vividly that in the long run Bolsheviks always win, because it’s just in the nature of US beastly humans.
George,
To your point, Bolton certainly epitomizes the dangers of Conservative ideology taken to its logical conclusions, having given away Iraq to Iran and all, but, TBH, I’ve never heard of a trial in the US where a key witness to the crime is not called.
Maybe in Banana Republics or the USSR, but not in the US.
Best, Mike
As usual, you may have missed your “reality meds:” again.
Bolton is to conservatives what bicycles are to fish.
Unrelated.
The problem with group-think (single demon) liberals, is they are so anxious to smear the right that they take leave of objective evidence.
Neocons work both sides of the aisle and prospered during the Obamanation.
GAFG
Not a witness, key or otherwise.
Not a crime.
The House is supposed to deliver a COMPLETED, cut-and-dried case of an actual crime having been committed by an actual person, when they deliver Articles of Impeachment to the Senate. The fact they have obviously not done so means that either the Democrats in the House are completely incompetent, and should be voted out of Office, or the “impeachment” was an illegal political stunt done to invalidate a National Election and, in-effect, perform a coup d’etat, in which case they should be voted out of Office, then tried for conspiracy to commit treason and treason itself, then locked away forever, or shot.
The House couldn’t find an actual crime, and now they’re lobbying for the Senate to make their case for them, which is not the province of the Senate in an impeachment proceeding. There was no crime, therefore no case can be made.
Now George you know this has been forty years in the making, and rather then Bernie causing the wobble its simply a corrupt system that’s run its course.It started with Greenspan and the holy grail that we will not permit the market to fail, and he was knighted by the queen for his service to the City of London.
No its not Bernie its the fact that the bankers who control the Fed.and their minions who run and control the corporations, who have installed a fascist type of government and the sooner it crashes and burns the better off we will be,then perhaps the people will rise up and dispose of those that created it, and those in government who who went along with it for the pay off of another trip to the trough will get their JUST rewards.!!
Can’t disagree with much of what you say, of course. I’m still (somewhat) rational…
On the heels of a fake China virus scare, the inability of the GOP to fess up their disgust in an extremely corrupt and brainless President, a real tragedy in Kobe’s death…there is some real positive news as one of the many Bay Area darlings…Tesla, is witnessing its stock skyrocket on incredible earnings report. Even Jim Cramer, a former skeptic turned.
In late November, Cramer began to turn more positive toward the company, due largely to the wishes of his wife, Lisa, who wanted a Model X sport utility vehicle.
“I give up. The car is too damn great,” Cramer said then, while adding, “I have to admit it’s just an unbelievable experience.”
In December, Cramer declared that he had gone from an “agnostic skeptic” to an “outright bull” on Tesla’s stock, which is among the most polarizing on Wall Street.
Tasha Keeney, analyst at ARK Invest, delved into how Tesla is in a league of its own compared with other auto companies.
“The auto gross margin was higher than most expected. I saw estimates in the sort of early 20s range — it’s at 24%. I think that goes to sort of prove our thesis. … The way that we’ve modeled battery cost declines, Tesla’s costs should continue to come down while traditional gas-powered vehicles are just becoming more expensive to produce. And this is what’s really going to drive the inflection with electric vehicles, we think that they’ll be at price parity with gas-powered cars by the early 2020s.”
Innovators and real geniuses like the hundreds of Musk types in our neck of the woods drive our economy…not dolts like Trump…
Hold the phone!!!
WHAT “fake virus scare???” 8,000 confirmed cases, 170 confirmed dead…are you losing it?
Human-human transfer confirmed (duh!)
And tech will save us? With FB value down $50-billion – and that’s just today?
We’re all in it to win it, but denial is dangerous stuff. Leads to poor decision-making.
8,000 cases and 170 dead is bull crap. The deaths equals 0.00000017% of their population. Compare that the the common influenza virus that has killed 8,200 people in the U.S this year alone. According to the Center for Disese control, at least 12,000 people will die from the flu in the U.S every year.
You are a victim of your own hype and the hype of the conspiracy theorists George. It’s the mental disease you all get when you start to believe that Trump is a good President
Sorry, I don’ty do real estate math. 170 divided by 8,000 confirmed is a 2.1% death rate.
I’ll be sure to send CDC word their website https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/index.html is wrong.
And the World Health Org too: https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situation-reports/20200130-sitrep-10-ncov.pdf?sfvrsn=d0b2e480_2
I’ll get word tdo them right away.
Hey guys! It’s a fake virus!
And on Facebook…Buy it…it’s trending up right now.
Dang George, I wish I had checked with Mark before I cancelled my trip. It’s a fake virus! Who would have guessed.
Mark does make a good point about the annual flu killing so many people. Point is we know and understand that virus now. We don’t have a handle yet on the fake Coronavirus and that’s what makes it dangerous. No vaccines available for probably a year. No idea yet how it will spread when it hits areas like parts of Africa where care and containment are poor.
P.S. WHO just declared the fake virus a global public health emergency.
PPS. United States just had the first person to person transfer of the virus inside USA.
PPPS. With my luck, I would have been a passenger on the 6,000 passenger cruise ship that now is quarantined off Italy.
All fake news!
I* mentioned it on PN yest – how you canceled the Jamaica vacaicia due to coronavirus only to miss the 7.7 EQ there..
You know you’re living a blesses life when Universe takes care of you so, even in unexpected ways. (Just don’t mention to ECD how this works…)
George…it’s the percent of their total population…not of cases. Over a billion people and only 8,000 cases? Hardly a blip.
You don’t do math very well. By your logic, the Spanish Flu of 1928 had a zero mortality rate to… in 1917!!!
Give it time. Invest in Clorox.
Just tossing out a wild idea – how better to herd the sheeple than to expose their helplessness to the novel coronavirus? Globally, nation-states are stepping up and taking charge, nobly protecting their vulnerable subjects. Nations can and are tightening entry and exit criteria, done without scrutiny or serious public debate. This nCV crisis presents the perfect climate for nefarious actors to slither and slime their way into magnified positions of power. Beware!
If you actually did any research you would know those CDC “Flu deaths” are an estimate and if you dig into it you’ll find they admit it.
That being said, this “new” virus is not “bull-crap” as you state, George is correct, 170 dead at this point is NOT good news.
Mark: NK and Russia are probably in the best position to evaluate intelligence feeds coming out of China. NK and Russia closed their border with China. Think about it. Your fake-virus narrative requires that you also believe that Putin and Kim Jong-un are easily bluffed ignoramuses. Your ego and business model is fueling the misread. Find someone who knows something about the subject and have them explain the public statistics to you; you are misinterpreting all of it.
Add Singapore to the list of countries shutting down traffic out of China. Note the pattern: countries which are most likely to have inside information are restricting travel most aggressively.
Naw…it’s a “fake virus scare!” heard it from SF myself! Let them via-holders in!!!!
On Justice John Roberts…he is just doing his job. If anybody is non-partisan, it’s him…But he also isn’t stupid. He, like everyone else with a brain can see that Trump’s an unfit leader. He has to be careful to not cross the line of opinion and fact. That’s tough when you have someone as inept as Trump involved. Defending Trump is like defending OJ.We all know he’s guilty, but semantics get in the way.
On Alan Dershowitz…See above…The same man that got OJ off? No surprise here.
The American Media…Ask any ex-Fox reporter or anchor and they will all tell you that other than MSNBC, there is no other outlet as biased and one sided and even crooked as Fox. So, when polls come out in favor of impeachment and removal of Trump, don’t be a gaslighter. I have still yet to meet anyone that actually admits to supporting Trump. Even my midwestern friends and family have turned on him.
On Mitt Romney..HE IS NOT A CAREER POLITICIAN. Where did that statement come from George? He isn’t worth $300 million+ from service work. His stint at Bain was his career…Politics is his way of giving back in a way that Tom Steyer, Mike Bloomberg, Bill Gates and others try to give back when they have reached a pinnacle in the private sector.
On John Bolton…Not a fan of his hawkishness…but let’s give him credit for standing up to evil and stupidity. Finally, someone in the thick of the Oval Office with the guts to tell it like it is. Yes there have been books from Michael Lewis, Woodard, and some Anonymous guy or woman…possibly Kellyanne Conway, that have lambasted Trump, but the man Trump used to praise is another story. Now with A Patriot like John Kelly having Bolton’s back, I can only wish that this is the beginning of the end of the biggest nightmare in the history of American politics.
On Warren and Sanders…I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE with you. Vote Michael Bloomberg in.
To your points:
1. Roberts is only for show, he doesn’t have a vote.
2. Ame3rican media? There is none. It’s a corporate PR center
3. Romney’s career in politics began with birth – you do know the family history, right?>
4. Bolton stands up when there’s something in it for…Bolton! Thjat he isn’t standing up to the coup says he’s unable to differentiate good and evil!
Thats an odd statement about Bolton given that his former Idiot boss is 1000 times worse. Always about Trump is so obvious even For Mr. Obvious.
This is major gaslighting. The normal guy who was once praised by the crooked rat, that rats on the rat is the bad rat?
His former idiot boss being….wait for it…the lesser Bush? N ow, if you want to compare idiots, let me table that one.
OJ got off because he wasn’t guilty. You appear to be a racist & a denier. I consulted the Washington Post’s “Fact Checker” & you come across a liar.
“On Mitt Romney..HE IS NOT A CAREER POLITICIAN”… “He isn’t worth $300 million+ from service work.” “His stint at Bain was his career”
Free money and low interest for the elites led to enormous leverage used against manufactures and pension plans to remove great sums of money from the middle class, and leave the carcass of debt to the bankruptcy process. We don’t even know what hit us, and most are truly lost on where the money and lost jobs went.
Elites like Mitt are the Bain of the middle class… but Utah can redeem themselves in the next election. Bye Bye!
I guess WE “Won’t Be Fooled Again!” Or Will WE?
In the past when I was at SFO listened to KFRC-AM on 610 (now defunct). At the time KFRC
played a new release by the “WHO.” I thought it was quite prophetic at the time, but more so today! Shows you WE have NOT learned a thing since then!
Have a listen and pay attention to the lyrics.
https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=won%27t+get+fooled+again+lyrics&view=detail&mid=880329248759DE720D72880329248759DE720D72&FORM=VIRE
Do you think we have learned anything? Or we will be one of “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” George Santayana.
Come to think of it, may be a good “campaign” slogan for some aspiring politician who can’t remember the past.
With due kudos to Dr. Don, Jo Interante, Ron Casteel, B.R. my mentor Bradbury and all the Super 610 greats…
The facts are pretty in-your face simple: We haven’t learned and it’s a human failing because we are (mostly) not really values-based people. Dieting, we all say “well once scoop of sherbet won’t hurt…” And, thinking no one is watching, we break the rules.
This same phenomenon happens in addition, in politics, and in how we treat our fellow humans when we don’t think they are watching.
“LOOK AT THE NEW BOSS, SAME AS THE OLD BOSS”
“Looking…
He has done nothing. Name one thing that he actually did that made a difference.”
Dam Mark sorry I totally missed your question the other day.. got busy with chores and a cardboard project and missed it.. sorry..

We have begun BUILDING THE WALL. Republicans want STRONG BORDERS and NO CRIME. Democrats want OPEN BORDERS which equals MASSIVE CRIME.
• Passing the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) that will bring relief and business to the American farmer.
• Passing 12 weeks of paid family leave for federal workers. An initiative that Ivanka Trump has been advocating for since Day One. And on a personal level, one that NO LESS than 10 career HUD employees thankedme for in private – with some even admitting they may vote for him in 2020.
• Reaching an historic trade deal with China that lifts the unfair tariff burden off the American tax-payer that the LAST THREE PRESIDENTS had no problem paying for DECADES.
• Getting Space Force
• Requiring Hospitals to publicly disclose the costs charged and paid by ALL insurance companies to ensure transparency and fair competition.
• Making animal cruelty a FEDERAL FELONY, praised by the American Humane Society as a bill they’ve been trying to pass for DECADES
• Forcing delinquent foreign countries to contribute an additional $530 BILLION to NATO so that Americans are no longer bearing the global burden
• Expanding federal civil rights protections against anti-semitism, which was duly praised by the President of the Anti-Defamation League
Great list! And one has to consider he did all this with nothing but constant flak from the dems and Rinos. Anyone who disses Pres Trump has his head waaay up his arse (Mark, are you reading this?).
The only thing you failed to do is to use a strainer to separate the truth from the propaganda (stay away from Fox),its strange how people always love to pounce on something that makes their man seem some kind of hero, when he fails to deliver on anything that he preached, when he was on the campaign trail.Now the lay-off list for weeks have been showing a steady stream of business’s closings plants shutting their doors and stores closing by the hundreds,transportation hitting the skids,630 trucking companies that went out last year but yet the unemployment rate never changes.Now a sane man would question just how that could be when you see the numbers living in poverty ,the number on the street always increasing,to me two and two makes four but I guess to some it makes three or five.!!!
“people always love to pounce on something that makes their man seem some kind of hero, when he fails to deliver on anything that he preached, when he was on the campaign trail.”
What’s seriously funny about this is.. DJT wasnt my first choice.. I was a Democrat but wanted to see someone anyone do something ..yea or nae to something. My first choice was Rand Paul..but then he is for the constitution and wouldn’t have gotten anything done. I didn’t get impressed until after he was ..elected. first thing he did. He went around and treated the help at his inauguration as if they were dignitaries asking their opinions and how he could help them . Then he recognized something was up with news broadcasts .. ( he could recognize negative subliminals) then being attacked non stop through the media.. hes still gotten done more than any presidential in my lifetime and with all the negative sniveling and whining by congress..
Then on top of that his companies retention ratio… my only negative thought is dam..why didn’t I apply to be a lawn keeper or some other position in his company..
Fox talking points…many of which are total BS. Most people are sceptical about the wrong things and gullible about the wrong things.
Think about the… WHAT IF…
Have you been watching the candidates your so proud of.. they’re opinions on how the PIE is divided in America..
Now I dont care if someone has more than myself.i have my share of struggles but I live well and still find a way to give a few of those that need a hand up a hand up. Not a hand out. the problems we have today could have been avoided a long time ago if those industry leaders had kept the mindset of the previous industry leaders.. keep it at home.. look after those that work for them instead of the ME and ME alone outlook.
So.. just walk down the hall.. everyone you meet or pass hand them a thousand dollars.. let them get a happy meal at Micky d’s or bag up some of that moldy money put it in a brown paper wrapper and mail it here lol lol.. I’ll make sure it gets put to good use lol…
Or would you rather see someone running our country that wants to develop industry bring some of the pie back home rather than send it overseas and keep our dollar secure and pride back to those that labor in our country..
That is a list of what he was able to accomplish while being under constant attack.. just imagine what he could have accomplished if they would have given him some support.
What everyone that is against DJT seems to forget is that the only other choice in 2016 was that hideous Hildaburg!
I can’t even imagine what might have happened in that alternative time line other than we’d be at war with Russia, PM’s would have gone up, and taxes along with inflation would have gone through the roof, while massive regulations on everything made it impossible to do anything other than watch TV.
I’m quite happy with our president, though there are a few things I wish he’d not done, like signing FOSTA/SESTA.
Pee Air Delecto’s work at BAIN was strickly a Deep State operation. They have been “running” money for the ClownsInAction for years. Hell G – U prolly ran into that filthy traitor back in your Cayman Airline days..truely an American P.o.S.
Justice Roberta – owned lock-stock and barrel by the Catholic Church – after casting the deciding vote AGAINST the people of the United States – he immediately left CONUS for an island nation inhabited by the real money moving priests (elongated skulls under those hats?) – some truly remarkable acoustics can be experienced in a well known cave on the island – Hyogeum of Hal Saflieni – Oracle Chamber – 110 Hz talk about a amplifying experience!
Good Luck with the Bite Sized Bitter Billionare – how about a Sandernista/ Kamala Toe Harris ticket for Demonrat ticket.
I don’t think that I can keep up with this much longer, but in the 60’s I thought that BS had some excellent ideas to run for POTUS. At one time I also thought that DJT would make a good one. However, people change their minds and so did I. ;)
Be aware that I also thought at one time that JCP was a good stock to buy, and RAD (at it’s lowest price in history) was a good speculation that had worked out well for me.
Anyway, DJI & SPY have closed their gaps, respectively, and a new game is on schedule. The percentage changes in individual issues shows just how little respect there is for money, IMHO, of course.
At an afterthought, much of our so-called “elites” were Harvard, Princeton, etc. educated. What does this say about education, per se? Is it just about money & me?
Old newsroom saying (you might even get a degree for knowing this)
We said of all public officials: “it’s who they know and who they blow…”
“it’s who they know and who they blow…”
Lol lol .. I just told my grandson about a company he should apply at.. join the club that the boss belongs to.
The key to success there is learn to shoot skeet or play golf.
Young lady that quit school when she was 14 became a boss because she was a dead shot at skeet.
Most colleges are just preppy party time clubs
If your willing to sit it out get the paper your in like Flynn…they teach the basics the real lessons come with the job. Of course that’s just my opinion
“had some excellent ideas to run for POTUS”
I would never want that job at anytime…In another country.. the leader is just that.. the leader that has some power.. in this country I think the POTUS is nothing more than a figurehead that takes the blame for the actions of those in chambers making the decisions and laws.
and even with them.. since they don’t read or write anything they vote on.. the ones that are making the decisions sit in another country dreaming this stuff up to meet their personal agenda of coveting what others have that they want and will have us do to get it for them..I think America is called “The great Satan” for a myriad of reasons.
most importantly, it seems to be a result of the arrogance and that we are willing to do the bidding of a very few to do what they wish so that they can get the things they covet that others have ..
In centuries past The Scribes were called “teachers of the law” and this was their primary task. It was part of the ideal of Judaism that every Israelite should have a professional acquaintance with the law. The rabbis gathered a large number of People to sit and learn from them. Because the true oral law was never committed to writing, they believed that constant repetition was necessary so that it would be “fixed” in the minds of the pupils. Therefore in rabbinic circles the words, “to repeat” mean exactly the same as “to teach.” Many questions were asked by the rabbis to the pupils and likewise the students were granted the privilege of asking questions to the rabbis this was how they passed the laws of the community down. since the majority of the people were not taught to read laws were passed down as stories and the teachers would pop in what they wanted for their particular community.
Religion and beliefs was brought up the other day.. but one would never seen Nancy as an emissary of our creator and what she says is from a devine source.. yet in the future the things they have signed into law the things she has said could be interpreted as messages of the creator and part of the future bible.. (OMG.. saint Pelosi .. sort of has a ring to it doesn’t it)
of course that is just my opinion.. the leaders of old were the ones with all the say in england the monarchs were looked at as a god..A divine king is a monarch who is held in a special religious significance by his subjects, and serves as both head of state and a deity or head religious figure. This system of government combines theocracy with an absolute monarchy.What made the USA better in my opinion was that we were open to discussion. the leader was not the one that although leading the USA was monitored by a Congress.. the two partied system was to have pro’s and con’s so that no one had the ultimate say so and they had the time to mull the decisons of one house over to make sure that what they were doing was the right thing for the People.. decisions was by a collective group of people each with their own thoughts and decisions from the citizens of the communities that were voted in to represent the people, they would pen down their ideas and bring them up everyone would read them and then discuss them. today we don’t have the signing of the constitution where everyone read the bill of rights and constitution and proudly put their signature on it. we have laws of several hundred to several thousand pages that have off shoots to other laws and papers that make these up to hundreds of thousands of pages long and can be interpreted in any number of ways.. take the waterfoul protection act.. big boring read.. yet at the end there is one paragraph in it that basically says that no matter what else is in this if we say it is then it is so and it will be followed. so if you have the yellow bellie sap sucker on your property and someone wants to control your land.. so be it…
Since its beginning it has changed.. today the POTUS is nothing more than a scapegoat and because it is now legal to bribe and change the opinions of congress through normal greedy impulses of gifts and profit there is only one group truly leading our country in my opinion. We can see that today on television watching the parade of puppets.. of course all of this is just my opinion..
Take the amount that people died in the United States from the flu every year but then backtrack it to the first month or two months and see how many there are and see the expansion rate.
Already had the flu on December 3rd now let’s calculate how many have already died in United States from the regular flu flu when it started and then the conavirus is in the United States just starting out and if it’s worse then the regular flu that we have then we’ll have to determine whether the people that had the regular flu are now weakened or strengthened against the, conavirus. And what the dormant rate for the regular flu is compared to the condo virus.
At any rate we won’t be able to stop it it’s going to take its course, and only then after will we be able to determine and then we also want to know if the Chemtrails they are spraying has anything to do with it whether it’s in Hibbing it us from getting well or if it’s actually spraying a virus to the atmosphere.
And then is there another virus that’s even more dormant that’s been sprayed on all of the articles a merchandising that are being shipped throughout the world from China.
And is the internet frequencies for g5g have anything to do with it, and is the food that we eat and the beverages that we drink are they associated with the problem.
So is it possible that there could be a mass overlay of all different kinds of Destruction that has been master plan with computers to simultaneously diminish the world’s population and 3 years or less.
And there by there for getting ready getting rid of the paper money and allowing everything to go to digital and you won’t even have a bank to go complain to when they cut your card off or your phone off and you have no Back-up Plan for reinstating your whole digital existence. See how easy it can be for them to rule the world from the controls of a computer with the codes that cut off every single single cell phone computer 4 card or chip that puts you in a financial desert.
Is it possible hell yeah
