Like most people who aren’t communists, I prefer the Orange Man defeats the communists in a few days from now. Communism being a thing best avoided. But is it – per the lament of the fish-man thing in one of the Star Wars movies – a trap?
It hardly bears thinking about. But that is why it ought to be thought about.
Many supporters of the Orange Man have stopped thinking about the latter’s actions during the sickness kayfabe – which was apparently designed to get rid of the Orange Man (along with whatever remained of our onetime rights, including the right to not take drugs pushed on us by the medical-industrial cartels). But what if it was just apparently – and just kayfabe?
The term refers to the play-acting that is professional wrestling. Hulk Hogan – who has appeared twice at Orange Man rallies – pretends to be sucker punched or hit over the head with a folding chair by a heel. The bad guy. He pretends to be staggered. The crowd boos the heel, who struts cockily around the ring. But – wait! – the face (that’s the good guy) is recovering his strength. His legs steady. The audience can almost see the life-force returning. Vengeance! The face proceeds to turn the tables, decks the heel and wins the match.
Then they both head to the locker room for a laugh.
It is odd that Orange Man was fooled for so long. It was very clear by the summer of 2020 – after a few months of the “pandemic,” as it continues to be called – that whatever-it-was was a differential threat, at most. Meaning if you weren’t already very sick – or very old – it was a cold. Colds can, of course, be a lethal if you’re very old or already very sick. Everyone used to know this. All of a sudden, they were expected to pretend that healthy younger people faced an existential threat – and that wearing a Chinese-made “mask” would stave it off.
Orange Man is many things. Is he an imbecile? It is the only comforting explanation for his going along with the kayfabe after mid-summer 2020. Because after that point in time, only imbeciles and evil people continued the kayfabe. This includes the “emergency” that Orange Man declared and never rescinded.
The heel – Joe Biden – did that.
And everyone knows about the “beautiful vaccines” that were in fact neither thing. Orange Man is said to be a hypochondriac and perhaps he was fooled – as some of his defenders insist. But when a man comes to understand he was fooled, does he not repent having been fooled? Has the Orange Man repented? No, he has not. He continues to defend his not-so-beautiful “vaccines.”
But this is history. What about the future?
What might the Orange Man do if he is elected in a few days from now or however long it takes to count and recount and litigate the votes?
One of the reasons for the Orange Man’s popularity is that he is the face – again. The champion who will do something about the wide-open border that the heel now says she wants to control. Which is a thing like Ted Bundy saying he wants to get serial killing under control.
But what will Orange Man do? How will he identify the millions of “immigrants” – as they are neutrally styled by the heels – that are now on this side of the border, in order to do something about them?
What will he do to us, that is?
Will he impose a national regime of identification – your papers, please? – and checkpoints to enforce this? Will his supporters accept it – because it is their face who is demanding their “papers” – which of course would be something more than that this time. They would be digital. And perhaps also money.
Tied to money, might be more precise.
Orange Man has talked up just that. Yes, Bitcoin. Which no one really understands, especially as regards the source of its value. Some say it derives from high-end computers making calculations. How that makes value is harder to fathom. In any event, one thing we can know is that it is not physical money and so isn’t under our control. Just as you do not control the engine in a car with a drive-by-wire throttle. You think you have control.
If you have a gold coin in your pocket – or even a paper dollar – you do control it. And you can spend it anonymously. Digital “coin” is something you are allowed to use. By someone else, who controls it. And someone else knows how you spent it.
These are the kinds of things that most of Orange Man’s supporters would oppose if a heel were to try to hit them over the head with them. But perhaps the kayfabe is to have Orange Man hit them over the head with it. Just as it was Orange Man who hit them over the head with the “beautiful vaccines” he also insists no one was forced to take. And that is technically true. Just the same as no one in the old Soviet Union was forced to love Stalin and smile enthusiastically whenever his name was mentioned. You’d just end up in a camp if you didn’t.
One hopes – I pray – that Orange Man is not a heel and that it isn’t all kayfabe. But God help us all if it is.

Derrick Broze Debates Ian Carroll – Is Donald Trump The “Lesser Of Two Evils”?
“On October 28th, 2024, TLAV lead writer Derrick Broze and researcher Ian Carroll discussed the 2024 election and the often repeated claim that Donald Trump is the “lesser of two evils”. Ian shared how he went from quietly supporting Robert F. Kennedy’s Independent Presidential run to openly supporting his effort. In the end, Carroll embraced Trump’s campaign because he believes that Trump will potentially be slightly better than a Harris administration. Derrick presented numerous points countering this notion, including debunking claims that Trump is anti-war, the Zionist influence on Trump’s campaign, Trump’s relationship with Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, his actions during COVID1984, and Trump’s calls for limiting freedom of speech.”

Hi Jack,
I am leery of the Orange Man but if he does manage to pull it off, I will savor a few days, at least, of communist agony.
GOOGLE IS SO CORRUPT.
The newsmax livestream of Trump in salem VA had 144,000 watching at the end, and the instant it ends, view count goes to 6.9K.
ELECTION INTERFERENCE!
And comments get auto removed
Maybe my eyes were lying I can’t remember any more. Oh well keep an eye out for that sort of thing.
Trump is a beast did 3 rallies today.
Hi Steve,
Trump seems to have the momentum, but who controls the vote count? I am doubtful of the outcome for the same reason I remain doubtful about the outcome of the last selection.
Either Harris or Trump will win. No getting around that.
I find them both bad, but in a swing state, is my vote better given to Trump (rather than earned) to prevent the most worthless airhead to ever disgrace a stage?
My plan was to write in Massie. It won’t get Massie elected. My individual vote won’t elect anyone.
Do I trust Trump enough to do anything he says?
Free Ross
End wokeness
Place RFK in charge of the health ministry
Continue tax cuts and institute some more
End the Ukraine fiasco
Not really. I don’t trust him to do anything other than to tell us how great he is.
Conundrum
I like your approach, Dan. Thomas Massie is awesome, and I think your none-of-the-above vote is better than anyone’s lesser-of-two-evils vote.

Cool story! Only one problem: Clowngress, which is deeply invested in every single one of these entrenched, unionized bureaucracies.

Best meme of the election
https://static.noauthority.social/cache/media_attachments/files/113/413/177/595/818/012/original/d82dcb43bd0fd59f.png
I hate to say it because I don’t really like the guy, but Ronald Reagan was the last true leader in the white house. Faced with a 242 seat Democrat majority in the House of Representatives, he was able to inspire grass roots individuals to call their Clowngressmen and get them to support the budget and tax cuts in 1981. Unfortunately, he didn’t keep it up. After that, budget after budget would be dead on arrival in the Democrat congress, but for a brief period, Reagan led the country, despite being shot at himself in April. The tax cuts were passed in August 1981.
Trump actually led on Tariffs and other issues during the early part of his term. He didn’t lead on taxes and we ended up with a tax cut that has an expiration date. After an intial surge of leadership. that, everything fizzled. Steve Bannon was fired.
And so it goes.
I’m not saying Trump is some leader. I’m not saying he’s good, but there is a large difference between him and what is coming. If we give that bitch a mandate (through a selection), it’s 100 percent our goose will be cooked. If Trump gets in , only 50 percent cooked.
The date of John Hinckley trying to impress the young actress Jodie Foster (if only “dear John” knew that he was absolutely barking up the WRONG tree) by plugging the President, and instead turning Reagan Press Secretary into his favorite “vegetable” was Jan 30, 1981. It was kept from the public for a few weeks that, thanks to a chance ricochet that impacted off the INSIDE of the armor of the Presidential limousine and struck the President under his armpit and lodged in his lung, missing penetrating the Pericardium by about a half inch! Reagan felt the sharp pain in his left side, and at first thought the manhandling by the agent in charge, Jerry Parr, who pushed him into the limo, had resulted in a fractured rib. However, as the limo pulled away, initially to return to the White House, Reagan started coughing up “bright red, frothy blood”, and Parr immediately directed the driver to head for George Washington University Hospital. They arrived less than five minutes after the shooting, and since no stretcher was ready at the ER, Reagan insisted on walking out himself, and made it to the ER reception area, where he buckled to his knees, and there the ER staff got him on the gurney and into treatment right away. It’s believed that Parr’s quick decision to divert to the hospital averted Reagan dying of the gunshot wound. That and our 40th POTUS was a rather vigorous man for a 70-year old.
Hi Douglas,
I remember it like it just happened – as people who were around when JFK was publicly executed in Dallas remember that. I also remember that the Bush connection – to the Hinkleys – was effectively suppressed. To this day, few are aware that the two families were intertwined. An interesting coincidence – and I don’t believe in those.
Speaking of “Coinky-Dinks”, I’ve gotta quit procrastinating putting up something I noticed about my mail-in ballot. If you voted for Trump/Vance, and fold the paper ballot a certain way (made of a light weight card stock), the mark is VISIBLE through the provided envelope’s vent hole. Now, IDK that someone at the Sacramento County Elections department would just toss out any ballot where they could see the mark, but they are postage-paid, and the Postal Workers Union and the Letter Carriers Union are strongly pro-Democrat and have consistently endorsed their candidates since the Postal Service was formed in 1971 (taken out of US Civil Service and rendered a US Government-chartered corporation).
This sort of dirty trick I noticed in 2021 when we in California had a recall election, not being happy with “Gabbin’ Nonsense” and his “rules for thee, not for me” posture during the “Coff” lockdowns, while himself and his cronies living it up at a posh Napa Valley French restaurant. Same “coincidence”…if you voted “yes” on recalling the snobby Guv, and electing the main challenger, Larry Elder, to replace him, BOTH choices were visible through the envelope vent holes!
Coincidence? I think not. Or, as author and former UK SOE operative Ian Fleming put it:
“Once” – Happenstance
“Twice” – Coincidence
“Thrice” – ENEMY ACTION

Yep, Eric. Even to this day, how often do we hear that Hinckley’s parents were having dinner with the evil Bushes…err..was it the night before he plugged Ronnie?
Those events are not as fresh in my mind as are the televised images of his colonoscopy while I was trying to eat dinner, though.
Always remember, there are NO (((cohencidences))), ever… especially in the Swamp, known as (((Washington DC)))!!!
I can only hope this is true.

If Ron Paul participates in the creation of another useless Government Department / alphabet agency he will forfeit all credibility.
I hope he’s smarter than this. But alas, even as good as he was, he was still a government parasite on the dole for years.
Elder abuse!
Full transparency: I did vote for Ron Paul once before I came to believe voting doesn’t matter. LoL!
‘I did vote for Ron Paul once before I came to believe voting doesn’t matter.’ — Burn It Down
Ditto. As a former member of Clowngress, Ron Paul should know that radical reforms of The Swamp are highly unlikely, bordering on fantasy.
Whereas two trillion dollar deficits forevermore are a slam-dunk certainty. Trump, like Reagan, is gonna borrow like there’s no tomorrow.

FINALLY! Someone articulates what I’ve know for years, namely that Ron Paul made his nest in a den of snakes for decades. If one doesn’t like the company of snakes, one doesn’t decide to move in with them. Yet all one ever hears is people toe-licking this man talking about how “great” he is. He’s only great at telling you what you want to hear.
Big discussion on cryptos….
Try using it in Western North Carolina where there is no power,,, no internet. Americans are so stupid it’s doubtful they would even take gold or silver. BUT they’ll take useless, worthless cash! So always have some local currency on hand in emergencies. Even in a total crash people will likely accept it for a short time.

Commie la’s father…a full on marxist….handling her behind the curtain….
Her father…..approvingly cites the socialist nostrums of Karl Marx and his partner Friedrich Engels – as well as Vladimir Lenin
he joined a radical black Marxist group on campus known as the Afro-American Association, where he gave lectures on “social inequality.
The group – which Don Harris referred to as his “oasis” – refused admission to white students; included among its members were Bobby Seale and Huey Newton, who would establish a violent breakaway offshoot, the Black Panther Party. The Afro-American Association was also enamored with Fidel Castro and the communist takeover of Cuba and arranged trips to Havana in 1963 and 1964 in defiance of a State Department travel ban.
While enrolled at Berkeley, Kamala’s father formed a friendship with Malcolm X.
Harris said he bonded with Malcolm X over his rejection of both white society and capitalism.
In his tribute to Malcolm X, Kamala’s father argued in favor of Malcolm X’s version of resistance, which condoned violence against “white racists,” in contrast to Martin Luther King’s non-violent approach to securing equality.
So….commie la’s coach….condones violence against “white racists
“Mr. Harris’ work is more unashamedly Marxist than anything in modern American politics,” The Economist magazine recently editorialized.
commie la hired Lateefah Simon, former leader of the militant Marxist group STORM Revolutionary Movement to help reform the criminal justice system.
she was defeated by Biden [in 2020], and she was radical left. She was probably beyond Marxist, if you want to know the truth,”

Republican candidate: One who verbally opposes what the Democratic candidate advocates, but who after winning the election does what the Democrat would have done, and then some, while couching it in more agreeable terms so that those who voted for him in order to oppose the Democrats and what they stand for, will now heartily embrace those things.
I can’t help but thinking of all the times I’ve breathed a small sigh of relief when the Republicans won “to save us from the left”, but yet did more than any Democrat ever could have to spite us.
Think:
Nixon, and his wage and price controls and recognizing of China, and war on drugs.
Reagan and his unprecedented expansion of the Federal government and exponential expansion of alphabet-soup agencies and the military.
The Chimp- who changed this country and all of our lives irreparably.
Trump’s 1st. go-round: The beginning of genocide, travel restrictions, contact tracing, etc. AND the BIGGEST expansion of the military and police in history! -a dry-run for the New World Order.
I’ve finally gotten to the point where I no longer even breathe that very small sigh of relief when a Repub wins, because my memory is still intact, and I know that the day after the election, the reality will set-in. The only difference being that if the Repub wins, thye saner half of the population will all go quietly along, and any criticism of their hero makes you an instant commie and supporter of the Democratic loon.
👍
‘Republicans won “to save us from the left”, but yet did more than any Democrat ever could have to spite us.’ — Arthur
During Trump’s Oct 31 rally in Henderson, Nevada, he denied Democrat claims that he wants to end Social Security, Medicare … and Obamacare.
Obamacare is poor quality coverage, Trump said, and too expensive. But the Orange Oracle can fix it!
As Mitt Rino Romney would say, channeling an age-old Republiclown tradition: Mend, not end! 🙁
Yes, Jim. Trump went from “We’re gonna repeal Obamacare on day one” (as if he could) in ’16, to “Well, MAYBE we change it if we can think of something better”.
Disgusting.
This must be the LEAST important election in history, because we have both sides advocating the very same things: Continued war; circumcised schlong-sucking; wage and price controls/interference with what remains of the free-market; curtailment of free speech…
It’s all over already. Doesn’t make a dime’s difference which side of the one-sided coin wins. Heads they win; tails we lose.
…and their unabashed utter contempt for us! Like Trump saying he’ll end taxation of Social Security…which of course, he does not have the power to do- but if it sounds good and will win him votes, and most of the voters are too ill-informed to know that he’s just blowing smoke…what the hey. Tell thge people what they want to hear!
As I’ve mentioned before, one of the biggest reasons why I strongly disagree with the assertion that Hombre Naranja is a fascist dictator, or at least a wannabe fascist dictator, is how he handled The Covfefe Virus.
Real/wannabe dictators typically capitalize on some sort of real or imagined emergency to gain or consolidate power, á la the Reichstag fire. COVID was one such emergency that was handed to the Orange Man on a silver platter—yet he totally whiffed on it.
Think about this: Under the guise of “stopping the spread”:
-He could have declared martial law and suspended the 2020 elections…kinda like what Zelenskyy did in Keeeeeeev.
-He could have banned all travel and sealed the borders with military force with order to shoot to kill anyone trying to cross.
-He could have nationalized the entire health care system…and implemented socialized medicine: “All your doctors, nurses, hospitals, drug companies, and medical devices are belong to us!”
-He could have nationalized other industries and systems, like transportation and manufacturing.
But he didn’t.
What he did do, which is actually what’s Constitutionally correct, is leave the bulk of COVID response to states, counties, and cities—And a lot of governors, state legislators, county commissioners, mayors, judges, and city councils really did act like dictators—like Andrew “The Creeper” Cuomo, “Karen” Whitmer, and Small Balz Walz did—and Trump lifted nary a finger to stop them.
Hi Bryce,
What’s laughable about people who call Trump a “Fascist dictator” is they didn’t say SQUAT when Joe Biden tried to MANDATE that millions of Americans who have a job take an experimental Big Pharma product to continue working or be fired. Instead, many of them CHEERED when, in a CNN townhall, Biden said “Yes” to a question of whether front line workers who refuse to comply with COVID vaxx mandates should be FIRED. And given that Kamala Harris couldn’t name even ONE thing she’d have done differently if SHE were President the past 4 years instead of Joe Biden, she’d probably push something similar for whatever other mRNA “vaccine” Big Pharma concocts and corrupt public health bureaucracies decide to push on the masses.
Projection at its finest!
That’s right! As we’ve seen the past several years, whatever the Democratic Party accuses others of, THEY tend to be the ones who are actually guilty of.
Quoth Senator Padme Naberrie Amidala of Naboo, when witnessing the entirety of the Galactic Republic Senate (even the E.T.s cheer and clap)…”So this is how ‘Liberty’ dies…to thunderous APPLAUSE”.

The upside of delegating authority is that DeSantis’ decisions made Florida a Republican state for at least a generation, and Abbott in Texas was forced to emulate DeSantis even as Texas drifts down the road towards becoming California 2.0.

After having read all comments these two need to go back to the top. Let them sink in.
“And I would remind you all voting got us to where we are today. in hell, begging for salvation from a reprobate orange clown.” Wolf man Jack

It’s all kayfabe. It’s all fake and gay.
The president runs nothing. If that isn’t crystal clear after witnessing dementia Joe’s time at the helm, I don’t know what to tell ya’ all.
Orange man didn’t run anything the 1st time around nor will he this time.
Let’s compare notes and outcomes in 4 years. Perhaps I will be wrong. But at this point, I’m going with what the data says. It’s all Kayfabe.
Bingo
You nailed it Burn,
The president is just the figurehead while govco is run by the three letter agencies. I remember when Reagan made a tentative deal with Gorbachev to eliminate all nuclear weapons; the MIC threw a fit and Baker talked him out of it. Can’t allow peace in our time, bad for business. Same with NATO, long past its expiration date and no reason to exist anymore other than to enable the USSA to expand its empire. It will always be this way no matter who is selected to play president.
RE: “The president runs nothing.”
That seems to be the key take-away from the video link I just posted.
‘It’s all kayfabe. It’s all fake and gay.’ — Burn it Down
Let me add a third comment to the two you bumped, which are excellent. This comment appears under Dr Philip Giraldi’s weekly column at unz dot com:
‘Americans are such narcissists. Trump and Harris really are the politicians you deserve. Kind of a shame you can’t have both at once; that would be way more amusing for the rest of the world that is laughing at you.’ — aspnaz
Dr Giraldi cites an analysis showing that the US financed 70 percent of Israel’s destructive rampage in Gaza, West Bank and Lebanon over the past year. These are the true American Uniparty values: destroying cities; bombing schools, houses of worship and hospitals; burning women and children alive.
Israel is our misfortune.
I looked up the word “kayfabe” – it means fake and gay. Why not just say it’s “fake and gay”? Never heard of kayfabe, never watched big time wrestling because it is:
A. FAKE
B. GAY
Oiled grown men wrestling with each other is fucking gay.

I am not looking for a savior, a government handout, or representation. I have a simple goal…to be left alone. Allow my husband and I (and every American) the ability to live our lives as we see fit.
To me government has one role…maintaining personal freedom. That’s it. A bloated, ineffective, and corrupt government who dictates man made rules on what substances we must put in our body, how we educate our children, “equity”, and the constant regulation of the free market destroys every citizens path toward life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. None of us need government’s opinion or assistance and we should never seek it.
A Harris win will be our country’s final breath. Will any of us roll out of bed the next morning excited and hopeful? I sure as hell won’t. Do I believe Trump will correct the path of destruction? Nah, but he will leave me alone. He will deregulate the market, shut the border down, and hopefully, keep our country out of war. If Bobby Jr. decides to ban a few bioengineered ingredients and tells Big Pharma to take a hike it wont hurt.
Do I have any proof that Trump will do this and keep his word? All I can do is look at history. We had no foreign wars, twenty million people didn’t invade our country, and nobody bothered me. This is all I ask for.
Ditto, RG –
Orange Man and his policies are less of a threat to me and you and people like us than those of the communists. So I will vote for the Orange Man. Because orange is better than red.
Same. Day one, he will repeal the EV mandate. The VP admits he has a heavy foot on the gas pedal.
Harris will cancel more drilling fracking and will go door to door on guns.
Not that im afraid about that.
I dont care.
If Orange man hires the right people in some departments it will be worth it.
I always like RG’s comments and I agree with her theme about what Government SHOULD be. But unfortunately that isn’t going to happen.
“A Harris win will be our country’s final breath.”
Remove Harris and replace with ___candidate X___. This is what I’ve heard all my life.
The sad fact that isn’t accepted by the public at large is that our system was broken and corrupted long before any of us writing here were even of age to cast a vote.
Hi BID,
I don’t dispute what you are saying, but the current Biden Administration, as well as, the Harris Administration are coming for us. As an accountant I deal with the IRS ALOT. It is becoming an uglier, meaner, and even nastier version of itself under Yellen. If anyone out there thinks they are going to leave you alone under Harris, they are dreaming.
1. The required registration of every small business (registered with the State) in America detailing every individual who directs the day to day operations or owns more than 25% of interest in the organization with the US Treasury Criminal Network Division. You and your spouse have one LLC for your rental home…you are required to register. Names, addresses, DOBs, and copies of each person’s drivers license are mandated. Big business, on the other hand, are exempt.
2. The requirement of 1099s to be issued by anyone that uses PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, etc. who receives more than $600 a year.
3. The constant surveillance and establishment of cryptocurrency beginning in 2014 by the IRS. For something that is supposed to be “personal” they sure know a lot about what one owns.
4. Under the Biden Administration they now require registration with ID.me or login.gov to see your SSA account, pay payroll taxes, file W2s and 1099s, and even make estimated tax payments. Why does one have to have their identity verified to check correspondence or make a payment?
5. The continued expansion of the IRS creating their own tax software which is being promoted currently in 24 states. Right now this is optional. In under 5 years I guarantee this will be required in every state. You will be required to file through the IRS, in essence, the fox is running the hen house.
Trump was right. They are coming for us. The upsetting thing is we will be unable to fight it. You are guilty until they say you are innocent.
These requirements were not made under Trump, but established under the Obama Administration and then enforced under the Biden Administration. We are being setup and the enforcement of biometric passports WILL be enforced under her tenure.
RG, all true but nothing will roll back under trump. Perhaps time will prove me wrong. I’ve bet my life by going Gault that I’m not wrong.
As it currently stands the general population is so pathetic and weak willed that they can’t be bothered to to protest that which shut down and destroyed millions of their lives – ie COVID.
I’ve lived through 2020 and 2021. The government will do what the government does (ie destroy things) until the citizens of this country see fit to rise up and resist . . . Physically if needed. We are no where near that point.
If COVID, lockdowns, and mandated injections didn’t get them to do that I don’t hold out much hope that anything short of complete mass starvation will change their minds.
Its shocking to me that we’re nowhere near the point of rising up and resisting. Just goes to show what a absolute success public education is. Mostly it confirms to me how stupid we all are. The pinch point in their control system is the media. The individual liars who never see any consequence for the hostility shown toward freedom and liberty.
Because of all this I’ve come to the conclusion that the DEI retard would be our best way forward. Not sure that mass starvation will change any minds. What would galvanize folks is if their thumb-fuckery grab-ass with their devices was curtailed to the level of the chocolate rations
It’s also a lot of fun watching people who honestly believe he will round them up and put them into camps for their kinky sex preferences (to be fair, pedophiles might need worry). Or that he’ll force women into Handmaid’s Tale costumes while ignoring all the women he put on his staff.
https://youtu.be/Gm3WCuyQUoY?si=86tGOnN_4uIRwJxo&t=111
Amen, RG. Voting for Orange Man…maybe there will be a chance in hell that we will be left alone, but I am not going to hold my breath. He is still stubborn about how “beautiful” the COVID jab was. He is still on record as saying “take the guns, due process later”. He did not stop the insane spending during his first term as President, and probably will not slow it down if he gets in for a second term, because the crooks in Congress (who sit there for decades with no term limits) will gladly over ride any veto. He may just be the poor bastard who is in Office when everything crashes and burns, and will be the one conveniently tarred and feathered for what was coming a long time before he (Trump) ever came along. But to vote for Kamala? Oh hell no!
Kamala Harris Prosecutor Ad – MAHA Alliance
One of the most brutal ads you’ve ever seen against a politician.

Great post Eric and the main reason why I don’t and won’t vote. They are all in it together clinking champagne glasses at the after party.
I like RFK but he is being snookered by the orange wrestler. First he was promised by Trump to be in the maybe administration working on health issues. Bah! Now the orange wrestler says RFK is just going to get information, which means RFK is not part of the tag team and NEVER will be part of any maybe orange man administration.
RFK, Musk, Ron Paul, and really anyone with brains and morals will NEVER be working with Trump. He’s the star wrestler and only employs flunkies around him.
That’s why he won’t repent for the bioweapon shots he created. I wish he’d lose. I wish they’d all lose.
At the top the slave owning control group…the masters…they are sovereign….above the laws…they make the laws…all the leaders are part of the control group…
2nd level the banksters provide financing for the masters…they are part of the control group…
3rd level down the enforcers…they are given sovereignty by the masters…so they have the power to enforce….. with lethal force…legally….
4th level at the very bottom the slaves…they are the property of the master…because they are the property of the master…the master can kill them if they want to….that is how a master slave system operates…

The Democrat Terrorist Organization is going to steal the election and Trump will be eliminated. That is the plan. The terrorists will then merge the Treasury with the Federal Reserve and issue a political controlled digital currency and get rid of commercial banks. They will only lend to retarded government worshippers(RGW/DEI) and we will have hyperinflation since RGWs are too stupid to produce any human values. They consume everything with counterfeited dollars and produce nothing.
Got self-custody Bitcoin?
I hope you’re wrong, Anne –
But if you’re not, we’re facing an imminent catastrophe that may make Mao’s Great Leap Forward seem like a bad hangover.
“They will only lend to retarded government worshippers(RGW/DEI) and we will have hyperinflation since RGWs are too stupid to produce any human values. They consume everything with counterfeited dollars and produce nothing.”
Parasites consume everything produce nothing, except shit. Kamal is the tip of the spear of the parasite takeover, nothing but shit follows her wake. Hatred for the nation, only intent is to get rich, hold power, while destroying the nation. The Left represents Communism and the emotion of envy. We are in the collapse stage of the the rise and fall of empires. Biden bit 3 babies on Halloween, Biden = Caligula. Amerika 2024 is like late Rome or Weimar, Germany.
Hyoerinflation could be on the way, especially if Kamal is installed. I think the big thing coming, regardless of who is installed, is higher interest rates – which are deadly considering everyone is in debt and the nation 35 trillion in debt. Amerika is a banana republik destined for very high rates.

Look for a new high in 30 year mortgage rates, I believe the real crisis starts when the 30 year fixed mortgage rates goes to 8% – this will crater the housing market – cause panic as everyone realizes that rates are in a secular bull trend higher like the 1970s.
Trump will likely be installed because the owners do not want their cash cow killed. The owners like what they have, they are not going to just allow their investment to be scrapped. At no time in history has any nation been able to run trillion dollar deficits and get away with it. Amerika is the greatest nation of exploitation that has ever existed, and only a fool would trash it by allowing some Krazy Kamal Kommie thing to run it into the ground.
People are worried about some new currency system, but they already have us exactly where they want, strapped to the debt table bleeding us dry. The current debt based currency system is the most exploitive system ever devised, no need to change it. Trump’s job is to restore the system back to working order. That is why the billionaire Jewish bankers are backing and funding him. They own us, we are the cows being milked, they are not going to burn the farm to the ground, but renew it.
Not quite accurate Eric. The part about Bitcoin, I mean.
Plenty of people understand Bitcoin. It is, after all, open source. If you have the nous, you can inspect the code, or even contribute to it. The fact that many liberty-loving programmers are constantly doing so is also the reason why it does not really matter just WHO wrote the original white paper. If there were a backdoor into the code, it would have been found many times over.
As far as what gives it value, you need to ask what gives value to anything? One often reads comments by semi-literate commenters (hello ZeroHedge!) claiming that Bitcoin (BTC) does not have ‘intrinsic value’ because it’s not of a material nature and so can’t be ‘held in one’s hand’.
But that’s utter nonsense. ‘Intrinsic value’ does not exist. All value is always subjective. If you are lost in the Sahara desert, with ten kilos of gold, would you gladly swap those for a few liters of water and directions to get out of there?
Or how about beach-side shacks, that are now on the outskirts of major metropolitan areas and suddenly worth millions? It’s still a shack after all!
Having physical gold in your hand is great, but unfortunately not overly practical. The very beginning of the ‘fractional reserve system’ our banks enjoy today by the benevolence of the government, can be traced to people back in the middle ages, leaving their gold in ‘safe custody’ and obtaining paper receipts instead. This worked well, until the jewelers providing the custody realized they could issue lots more receipts than they had gold, and charge interest on all those.
Gold can be confiscated by the AGWs relatively easily, given that you need to satisfy KYC (know your client) rules now to buy it in the first place. Storage is not simple and as far as crossing borders…forget about it.
Do you want to send gold to someone overseas? –Good luck with that.
This here is not the place to go into long-winded write-ups about why/in what areas BTC may or may not be a better solution, or just why it’s revolutionary on being the truly first trust-less, decentralized payment system.
Personally, I am convinced that having allowed the government to hold a monopoly on what is to be used as money – via their legal tender laws – and then also letting them go ‘full fiat’ (i.e. create unlimited money from thin air, with no anchor whatsoever) are the very main reasons why we as a formerly free society find ourselves where we are today.
Hold onto your gold by all means, but do make the effort to learn more about BTC, because if/when you get de-banked like the Canadian truckers did, or when Google censors your site (like has happened to Karl Denninger), then you may well appreciate having a Plan B and still being able to get donations from your readers.
By the way, nobody ‘controls’ Bitcoin. Only you, via your keys, which is a 12 to 24-word phrase.
Would you keep all the money you own at home, as cash?
I gather not; you’d leave most of it at the bank, because it’s ‘safer’ that way.
Which of course implies you have to trust the bank, right?
You do not need a bank with Bitcoin. All you need is a 12 to 24-word phrase. You can write that on a piece of paper, or you can even memorize it. No need to hope your bank isn’t going to go belly up, with your money in it.
And, last but not least, you can transact it anonymously, too. Nobody knows it’s your Bitcoin being spent, unless they can link the wallet address to you, which is not that easy considering every transaction can have a different address.
And if that’s not good enough, it is trivial to swap BTC to a fully anonymous, non-traceable crypto-currency like Monero, with no KYC whatsoever. As you would expect, Monero is banned on US exchanges, because Big Brother does not like its subjects to spend their own money without supervision!
You see, I’m no dewy-eyed 20-year old; in fact I’m as cynical as they come!
But I have spent a lot of research time on this particular topic, and I am convinced there is much more freedom to be had in BTC than there ever be in fiat dollars or even physical gold.

Pretty much everything is grid & internet dependent today. Mind you, you can transact BTC over home-made radios, so even in that area it’s much more solid than pretty much anything else.
And no, they can’t just ‘block’ you. China tried that. Others did, too.
Hi John,
Physical money is not “grid & internet dependent.” I do not need the “grid” – much less the Internet – to pay cash for things.
But you DO need to get that cash out of the bank first, right?
You do realize our political masters, and their friends who run the bank, have put limits on how much cash can be used for payments, or even how much of your own money the bank will give you in paper bills?
How do you receive donations on this site? It’s not via cash, is it?
Do you pay all your bills, including taxes and utilities, by cash?
I think the point has been made, no?
And also, don’t forget that the cash you use is the government’s. It’s the mandated legal tender, and they manipulate its value and debase it’s purchasing power at will.
That’s most definitely not ‘freedom’ in any meaningful sense of what word.
Hi John,
One only needs to get the cash out of the bank if one leaves it in the bank! Yes, I pay some of my bills and do on via check. But the point is that one does not have to have a bank to be able to use physical cash. And that is my ideal. Electric money is even worse than government money, in my view, because you do not possess any of it and you are entirely at the mercy of electronica – god-damned sail fawns and apps. As if those were “freeing.” As opposed to being tracking devices – and not just of your movements.
Gold and silver. And currency tied to (redeemable) in gold and silver. That’s the best option if you care about free money.
This is more accurate description of bitcoin. The real story.
https://www.amazon.com/Hijacking-Bitcoin-Hidden-History-BTC/dp/B0CXWBCWDR
Written by Roger Ver, who has/had a vested interest as one of the leading figures in the Bitcoin/Bitcoin Cash ‘hard fork’ back in 2017.
Why do you think Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is now trading at ~$350, while BTC is around $70K? If the ‘big blocks’ was such a great idea, that is?
Again, this is not the forum to go into detailed technical discussion on the merits of various crypto-currencies.
But do yourself a favor and read the two books I linked above. They are written by a libertarian-leading economist, with no particular view to push. You’ll find an ample explanation there just why BTC is the ‘real Bitcoin’, as opposed to the numerous copycats.
Hi John,
I am leery of digital anything. But money especially. It is – essentially – vaporware. Anything you do not have direct, physical control over is by definition not under your control. And I regard control over something as functionally synonymous with ownership. If you don’t control it, someone else owns it. That is my worry as regards Bitcoin or any other digital currency.
It means the machine controls it – and we do not control the machine.
Physical money is the only money you truly own.
Fair enough, Eric.
Alas, for better or worse, the future will be increasingly more digital. Just have a chat with some young people, to find out what they think about it.
You do not have to agree with it, but you do need to try and learn as much as you can, because the good news is that while technology can be abused, it can also provide an least some protection against the worst aspects of it.
Decentralized web, payment systems, and, perhaps most importantly, communities, are all ways toward that end. And there are many very smart, liberty-loving minds out there, making it happen.
Hi John,
I know the youth like this digital stuff and for that reason it’s the “future.” It’s one I will fight to not be a part of – just the same as I want no part of a touchscreen-controlled, “connected” EV, either. My hope is to make it long enough so that I can Go Galt at some point and live off-grid without any computer-dependent, “connected” anything. I have lots of books and find them much more interesting than anything on Kindle!
Old Ted may have been right in some ways.
Amen, Tim –
I have come to agree in principle with Frank Herbert’s thesis in Dune: Thinking Machines – the Internet, computers, electronica – are going to be the end of humanity unless humans decide to smash the god-damned Thinking Machines and return to using machinery that does not think. And so, think for themselves again.
Bitcoin is CBDC.
The problem with “Artificial” Intelligence is that the “Natural” Intelligence that created it doesn’t have the greatest track record. At some point, one or more of these contraptions is going to become self-aware, and likely it’ll be like postulated in the THIRD “Terminator” flick from 2003, where it’s not some “supercomputer”, but rather, a VIRUS, self-propagating in Cyber space, and quite able to stay ahead of attempts to eradicate it. At some point, “It” will “decide” that humanity is not only unnecessary, but an ANNOYANCE, and take action as “It” sees fit.
As C3PO put it, “Machines making machines” (or software programming software)…how PERVERSE!
John Bayley: Not challenging your assertion in the security of BitCoin, but I do have one nagging question. When one of the extortion situations was paid for in BitCoin, how did the government recover those funds? How did the FBI obtain the key? I am asking out of ignorance of how that all unfolded. I guess I could understand plea-bargaining with one of the extortionsists, or even his outright torture, but just to snag it, it appears to me that absolutely nothing is safe from the grasp of government.

They do that the same way, effective and time-proven, as the Mafia: By beating the information out of the culprits.
That’s what happened also to Ross Ulbricht, the guy behind the very first dark net market place, Silk Road. And others since.
Bitcoin encryption is still secure. Solutions are already being worked on the keep it that way even if someone does eventually develop a working quantum computer – still a big ‘if’…
But physical violence and threats of a lifetime in jail will always beat any encryption.
“the government to hold a monopoly on what is to be used as money – via their legal tender laws – and then also letting them go ‘full fiat’ (i.e. create unlimited money from thin air, with no anchor whatsoever)”
Increasing the amount of currency in circulation….inflating the money supply….printing more dollars……….promissory notes not convertible to gold and silver…this is a powerful tool for the masters….the control group….
The control group pays the slaves in rapidly devaluing dollars, then taxes them into poverty….then they give them credit so they can still eat…soon they are drowning in debt….next…. they own nothing and are happy….
Soon the slaves owe nothing…the control group…the masters… own everything….
Gold and silver is the only real money….paper money…..promissory notes convertible to gold and silver….are just more convenient to carry around…
These three stages are repeated throughout history….
Stage one….promissory notes convertible to gold and silver…1945 to 1971….
Stage two….. promissory notes NOT convertible to gold and silver…suspended promises to pay…1971 to today….
Aug. 15th 1971 went to stage two…..printing like crazy….printing presses go brrrrrrrrrrr….
then inflation exploded…..owning assets better then holding cash….
Stage three….gold and silver revalued to account for all the promissory notes issued….revaluation…then back to stage one again….
revaluation….forced conversion….a million old dollars for 10,000 new dollars….gold revalued at $10,000…. new dollars per ounce…..promissory notes convertible to gold and silver…again….
there will be a rush to convert to gold and silver…around the end of the 2020’s…that date 2030 keeps showing up….

Hi John,
I agree re intrinsic value.But gold and silver are valuable – as such. I mean, not just as a medium of exchange. Paper money has no intrinsic value and neither does an electronic “chit” or whatever you want to call it. But the worst things about the latter (i.e., Bitcoin, etc.) are that it is not even physical money and it is not anonymous money. I do not believe the claims to the contrary regarding the latter. Nothing that is online is private. Not unless you’re a Neo level Matrix hacker type. To believe otherwise is, I think, foolish. No offense meant. I simply do not trust it. The opacity of it ought to be a red flag.
Yes, you’re right that physical gold and silver can be taken. But not electronically, if the gold and silver are in your possession. And you stand some chance of being able to hide it. A “chit” on a screen can be deleted just like that by remote “powers and principalities”- so to speak – without your even realizing it until you check your balance.
Anything tied to sail fawns and computers is part of their control network. Whoever “they” are. I just know it’s not us.
“I agree re intrinsic value.But gold and silver are valuable – as such. I mean, not just as a medium of exchange.”
I will never understand this statement and you’re not alone in having made it.
Say what??? Gold and silver have been used as a medium of exchange for millennia.
Are you referring to international settlements? On-line transactions that aren’t done in a physical hand to hand transaction?
Those sorts of non hand to hand transactions still will occur whether regardless of whether final settlement is in dollars, bitcoin, or gold.
It takes no effort at all to carry a 1/10 oz gold coin or even a 1oz gold coin. Carrying $2700 of hundred dollar bills is quite a lump in the wallet and not at all practical either. As the dollar continues to devalue, it soon won’t be practical to pay in cash when the largest bill is a hundred and that $100 barely buys you two bags of groceries. How would you pay in cash when that bag of groceries becomes $5000? (Hint: it eventually will)
Bitcoin is already on Uncle’s radar, there’s a line on the IRS 1040 form rat yourself out for any bitcoin holdings. Even if you manage to keep it hidden from government’s Eye of Sauron I don’t see how you could use it to purchase necessities, as in food and fuel.
Mike,
What you say is true. That is how they have already changed Bitcoin from a monetary unit – to be used for day to day transactions to a “store of wealth”.
By having to track bit coin capital gains the IRS has negated its value as “currency”.
Only time will tell how the “store of wealth” model works out for Bitcoin.
Keep in mind the IRS has previously used the same model of taxing capital gains to negate the ability of gold to be used as “currency”.
If you sell and make a profit it is taxable….
Gold and silver are valuable because we collectively ascribe them that value. There is nothing ‘intrinsic’ about it, as I tried to explain above.
Yes, silver also has some industrial use (gold not so much), but so do many others, much rarer metals (like rhodium, iridium, platinum etc). Yet those have never been considered to be ‘money’ – even though there is no reason why they could not be.
In a real free society, literally anything could be money. As long as the majority agrees to use it as such.
Today, lots of non-physical ‘things’ are very valuable. Microsoft sells software and services associated with it, and it’s worth trillions. Google sells advertising on a 100% electronic media. So does Meta/Facebook. Those who have marketable skills in those areas are remunerated a lot better than any manual jobs are ever likely to be.
This would have been science fiction a few short decades ago.
Yes, anything that’s ‘online’ can be potentially compromised. But you know what – the mafia that has nukes, also known as the government, can easily take anything physical you have as well. And kill you in the process, too.
And no, Bitcoin has not been ‘cracked, it is not ‘easy to survey everything you do’ (unless you have no clue as to what you’re actually doing) and there really exist totally anonymous crypto-currencies. So anonymous, in fact, that they are not allowed to be traded in the US and that the NSA has a standing reward of quite a few dollars for anyone who could crack that anonymity.
Sure, someone perhaps will manage to actually do that one day. But then, nothing stands still, new solutions will be found, and there are never any certainties in life anyway.
While Gold and Silver have intrinsic INDUSTRIAL value as well as adornment and jewelry, in the end, they’re just METAL…you can’t EAT nor WEAR them. I’d say you can’t HUMP articles made of gold or silver…well, I can’t or at least WON’T. Nothing wrong with having precious metals as a hedge against inflation and the “backup” medium of exchange, but when things begin to go to “shite”, FOOD, clothing, FUEL, weapons, and AMMO will be prized above all else. And the thing about having a backlog of foodstuffs, meds, household supplies (TP, for example!), gas and/or diesel, and, of course, AMMO, and it’s a good idea to accumulate common rounds like 9 mm, .223 Remington, and .30-06, even if you don’t presently shoot weapons employing those calibers, for exchange or on the chance you’ll ACQUIRE a suitable weapon, is that they can get you through you own crisis, even if we’ve got Kevin Bacon out there shrieking on the main street of Farber, PA, that “All is well!”

I’ll make an excuse for Trump’s reaction to the Wuhan flu. I think maybe he forgot the first rule of Washington DC: If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog. Trump thought the people in the intrenched bureaucracy actually wanted to do good by America, not just gain power over each other and steal money. I think he might have learned his lesson, at least that’s the message he’s been saying.
But I think he might be being played again. GDP is flat, unemployment is up and everyone’s out of ideas. Tech is stuck in a rut. Hardware isn’t worth upgrading, software’s stuck keeping users comfortable and not pushing the envelope. The big three (Google, Apple and Microsoft) are expending more effort into virtue signaling than producing good product.
I’m reminded of The Onion’s obituary of Steve Jobs. The average CEO these days is a Tim Cook clone. Don’t rock the boat, push earnings and… maintain maintain maintain. In some ways I can understand: either you’ll be sued for patent infringement by some troll, or just assume it will be stolen by your competitors.
Hi RK,
I do not blame Trump at all for the initial being caught-off-balance. I do blame him for not ending the “emergency” when it was obvious there wasn’t one. This was by summer 2020. People were not dying in the streets. The “cases” were being obviously – maliciously – hyped. What did he do? He let Fauci run the country for the rest of the year. Worst of all, he did nothing – absolutely nothing – to prevent shyster Leftists from using the pretext of “COVID” to alter state election processes in a manner that an imbecile could have seen was meant to facilitate a cheat. Some say he had no power to intervene. I say bullshit. A president is essentially an elected Fuhrer at this point. He could have simply used the power of his office to negate much of the egregious shenanigans that took place and that have since that time undermined almost everyone’s confidence in the election process.
And his “beautiful vaccines” thing is just egregious.
With all that said, I am still going to vote for the bastard. Because orange is better than red.
Hi Eric,
To be fair to Orange Man, he did advocate Hydroxychloroquine as a COVID treatment at one point (which he turned out to be RIGHT about) but was pilloried by Democrats and corporate media for it. Trump also brought Scott Atlas aboard his administration’s Coronavirus Task Force in, IIRC, the summer of 2020. Atlas had a more sensible take on the whole COVID thing and what the pandemic response should be than Tony Fauci & Deborah Birx did, but corporate media, along with the DC establishment, savaged him for it. Unfortunately it also appeared that Trump hiring Atlas when he did was too little too late, as the federal government’s COVID pandemic response was already firmly in the nonsensical measures pushed by Fauci & Birx.
There were also doctors who co-signed what was called the Great Barrington Declaration, which called for ending the draconian COVID measures, focused protection of elderly people, and allowing children & healthy people to resume normal life, but they were smeared by Fauci & the media as “fringe epidemiologists who advocated letting COVID rip”. Has Trump learned a lesson from the last time he was President? We shall see, particularly by who he picks for cabinet positions should he become President again, given that some of his picks the last time were swamp creatures, Neocons, or had connections to the ______-industrial complex.
OK, what was the proper reaction to the 9/11 attacks? (taken at face value as a rag-tag group of terrorists operating in fringe areas and taking advantage of loopholes, not the various alternatives) George W Bush’s implementation of the War on Terror™ had far larger consequences and has disrupted the nation on a far wider scale than the OM’s war on chest colds.
How about Bush’s, Clinton’s and Obama’s foreign policy of Extending NATO right up to Russia’s borders? Attempting to turn the Middle East back to its pre-oil third world status? Kissing China’s ass? Obama’s takeover of the health insurance industry? Trump’s fail was more direct and is still fresh in our minds. It would have been much worse had the media and bureaucracy been on his side. As it turned out most of the dirty work was done by the state governors (acting on advice from Fauxchi). And let’s not forget that the vaccine was released while he was still in office, but the mandates didn’t start rolling out until February of 2021.
Point is, they all do stupid things that cause more harm than good.
Not one candidate stands for America.
Bingo!
Truth!

At his rally in Green Bay, Wisclownsin, Orange Man promised to cut energy prices in half. How? ‘Drill, baby, drill.’
For sure, increasing supply will push energy prices down, compared to what they would have been under the ‘Biden’ green energy, anti-oil regime. So would a white-knuckle recession, for that matter.
But Orange Man is promoting an illusion of control by saying he can slash energy prices in half, and cut inflation too. He does not possess this level of control. Such claims are economic snake oil.
Over time, the Federal Reserve creates inflation with its digital keystroke currency. Mix in the aggressive tax cuts promised by Orange Man, and actually you’ve got a recipe for runaway inflation.
US Fedgov debt, currently $36 trillion, will easily hit $60 trillion during Trump’s term. And $100 trillion is not out of the question, in the case of an ‘exogenous event’ (as eclownomists call it).
While he dare not say it, this is Trump’s true campaign slogan: Death to the dollar!
Jim H: I keep reminding folks that Trump’s “fantastic mind for business” is largely “how to steal other people’s money through bankruptcy”. My dreaded scenario is that he decides to do the same thing with the 35 trillion in debt. The people would cheer. For about 3 hours until they discover what that would do to the value of the dollar. With The Donald, nothing is off the table (well, there is Israel…).
One thing that Orange Man could help with would be to get behind ridding us of goddamned firearm background checks and this “NICS” BS. Perhaps he’ll be more sympathetic now that he’s a felon.

Having RFK, Jr. and Gabbard at this point is a plus that no one seems to be talking about. Musk gets all the attention but, as for policy he doesn’t hold a candle to the afore mentioned.
If he’s got the guts to have them he just might learn something.
It gives me hope that a successful challenge to Big Pharma and the MIC that is consuming our very lives.
Tulsi Gabbard would be ten times better as Secretary of State than ‘Antony Blinken.’
Maybe a hundred times better. But you get the idea.
You’ve really touched upon something here, Eric.
Yes, I believe the “border crisis” is a contrivance of one kind or another, with the final goal of getting everyone to cheerleader all manner of tyrannical interventions. Orange Man is out promising the Death Penalty for this and Death Penalty for that, and people love it.
And yes, you’re gonna love it when the jackboots show up at your door asking for “Ze Papers”, and when you don’t produce those papers in whatever form that sates these jackboots, they will beat you senseless, if not kill you, and proceed to steal things from you, perhaps cuffing you and putting you in jail for your insolence.
I don’t think Trump really understands Bitcoin either, but his rich friends seem to like it, and he thinks it might make him some money and get him a few votes if he becomes Bitcoin Champion, so he’s playing that role.
Bitcoin and other related cryptocurrencies primarily a method by which you can circumvent the banking/credit system. They do work for this purpose. Cryptocurrencies circumvent ANY centralized authority, in theory, by distributing their operations over thousands of computers worldwide. I personally like using them. Seems very James Bond.
The bitch is having the IRS interested in what you’re doing. Now, regardless of what sins the Orange Man has accumulated, if he abolished the IRS and the Income Tax, he really would be a fuckin’ hero. But I believe that quip was, unfortunately, just idle chatter.
A popular “gun” channel on rumble was advertising the “Trump Rifle,” a glorified, overpriced AR-15 style rifle with weird coloring and Trump’s name tattooed all over it. It makes me wonder if one can get them to send you one with a bump stock preinstalled…
Shoal Creek: I guess another question might be if you can keep the one you buy if a neighbor heard you holler at your wife for burning the potatoes.
I saw a similar ad, perhaps in The American Rifleman. Kinda made me nuts. (Whoops, there go my guns!) The last issue was basically a campaign ad for Donnie. Sounds like they still don’t have the management of the NRA quite sorted out. Nor their qualifications for candidates who truly believe in the right guaranteed by the Second Amendment. (Is it that DT can spell it but KH can’t?) I guess one could overlook the fact that they ignore his view of the 5th and 6th, since they are essentially a “single-issue” organization. Too bad they don’t at least really understand that one.
A 1980 Reagan like landslide victory is forecast by insider Paul Manafort interview with Tucker:

We’ll soon see Orange man’s real intentions. First thing to look for will be his cabinet appointments, then how many promises he back tracks on. I wouldn’t hold my breath, but hope for the best. At least with Trump there’s hope, if the Kommie Kamal thing is installed all hope will be lost to utter despair.
I think Trump will stop the immigrant flow, but how many he deports is another thing altogether. I hope he deports them all but he may back track and only deport a million or less. But there is hope that if we keep his feet to the fire he does what he said he would. I say round them up and send them home. No other nation just allows millions to walk in.
Another thing about Trump is that he says he wants peace, and did not get us into a big war like Biden has. But Trump, the self proclaimed “King of Israel” no like Iran which is in a shooting war with Israel. What will Trump do? We’ll see. Not holding my breath he’ll do the right thing and tell the Israelis to fuck off. I would cut them off all the way, for one thing it is ILLEGAL to give Israel one penny when they have nuclear weapons and have not signed the NNPT.
Elon said something interesting – he said just a week ago that Trump’s tarriffs will crash the economy – which matches the Brandon Biggs prophecy that Trump dodges a bullet by his ear, gets elected and the economy crashes forcing wages to be cut in half. The depression lingers on for a long time according to that preacher’s “vision”. V2K anyone? CIA has Voice 2 sKull tech – perhaps it wasn’t god talking to him, it was CIA using him to reveal the plan they have for us.
Is there really any doubt that as the EV craze ends, the massive malinvestment will cause many auto mfgs major financial difficulty. The big problem for Trump is to undo this massive money inflation pumped toward the New Green Deal, which has created false prosperity like a Leftist coke addict high out of his mind then falls into a coma when his body crashes. Amerika is ripe for a malinvestment coma. But someone has to turn the tap off and I hope Trump does.
Most politicians have no spine and would never intentionally crash the economy. We’ll see what happens. Not holding my breath and in fact I think we should focus on our own survival – after all the Roman families did survive when the Roman State fell and morphed into the Catholic Church. Governments come and go, especially in Italy. Many nations rule the world for a long time, then when they fall they never recover – with BRICS on the way I think Amerika will descend into the morass and stay there for the next thousand years. By 2050 whites will have been replaced. Robots will replace us, and organic humans will be a small minority according to Ray Kurzweil. In fact Amerika today resembles little to what I experienced in the 1960s and 70s. The golden age of my youth passed because of the extreme political corruption in the District of Criminals – which I hope and pray Russia lights up with a massive nuclear strike – they certainly all deserve to be burned alive after having funded the Gaza genocide. IMO Congress signed their own death warrant when they gave that butcher Bibi Mileikowski 58 standing ovations.
Humans are severely fucked up, and I resent being alive on a hell planet run by mass murdering psychopaths. I will be glad when i no longer exist. There is no point in hell except endless misery – which we create by not being able to get along. The psychos love this place, I do not. Everyone wants to vote for their guy and force their will upon others. What right does anyone have to do that? Another reason not to vote.
And I would remind you all voting got us to where we are today. in hell, begging for salvation from a reprobate orange clown.
Politics – which is just legalized retard-supported terrorism – appeals to the mental retards which is why you need to cater to them to get their vote. It don’t matter if they are Dumobrats or Repulsicans.
