Very good trend.
The state is not God. (Hegel was wrong).
♦️Neither is the absolute leader. (Hobbes was wrong)
♦️Or "the will of the majority" (Spinoza and Rousseau were wrong)
♦️Or the proletariat (Marx was wrong.)
♦️Or the race (Hitler was wrong.)
♦️Or "The Science™️" (Scientism was wrong).
♦️Or the zookeepers. (Eugenicists were wrong)
♦️Or technology, or AI (today's technocrats are wrong.)

We rag on the left for pushing those "boosters" simply because their great leader said so.
But after seeing how obedient Trump's cheerleaders are...
I'm confident they would do the same if Trump were the one pushing the "boosters."
So it wasn't a leftist thing after all. It's a human thing.
Both sides refuse to think or question anything.

2025-04-04 15:16:50

More inflation?
I don't want more inflation. https://m.primal.net/QEEy.png

2025-04-03 17:45:40

Will businesses now move manufacturing to the U.S.?
Pro-tariff people are an automatic "yes."
I don't know either way.
But I do know that the U.S. is still a big mess financially and politically.
In a few years we can have a President Harris, or President AOC.
We can return right back into leftist insanity.
Do businesses really want to have their assets here under those conditions?
I don't know. I guess we'll see.

2025-04-03 03:18:00

A tariff is a tax.
Prices can rise as a result.
But it’s not inflation. Inflation is an increase in the money supply.
Tariffs do not increase the money supply.

2025-04-02 20:23:02

While I’m a skeptic, I’ll leave open the possibility that the tariffs “work.”
But if they don’t work, and everything goes to shi*t, do you know what presidents often do to cover up their economic mess?
It begins with a “W” and ends in an “R.”

2025-04-02 16:56:20

The original liberation in 1776 was in opposition to taxation.
"Liberation" in 2025 is the imposition of taxation. https://m.primal.net/QBxW.jpg

Democracy is showing itself to be a huge con.

In the last few days, Trump has moved to threatening just about everyone.
- Invading Greenland.
- Bombing Iran.
- More (useless) sanctions on Russia. https://m.primal.net/PyXm.png

2025-03-27 13:29:12

Bombing Yemen is not America First (along with the rest of the Middle East).
Neither is NATO anything related to America First.
When can we be "liberated" from being ripped off by these?
Why not now? https://m.primal.net/PvEj.png

2025-03-17 20:45:59

Trump prides himself on being UNPREDICTABLE.
He’ll say things that are never meant to be taken seriously.
In many ways, it serves him well.
But…
It would be a terrible irony if Trump ends up being one of MOST PREDICTABLE presidents in history.
Everyone (who pays attention) knew before the election that the problem with Trump is Israel.
Would he further bury our nation for Israel?
Many were (and still are) certain that the answer is YES. The memes are endless.
I hoped this was a different man after everything he went through, and even voted for him; which I never do.
But here we are in month 2 and already the threats of war with Iran are being proclaimed.
Very predictable…and very worrying.
Can it be that Trump is actually extremely predictable?
I hope (ultimately) the answer is No.

2025-03-17 18:55:24

Trump had a lot of "political capital" and "goodwill" after being elected.
In such an environment, a president can do stupid things and Americans will tend to look the other way.
But "goodwill" always wanes. Excitement always fades.
Is Trump using his "goodwill" to push us into war with Iran?
The Democrats are an embarrassment, and MAGA "influencers" will repeat anything you tell them to repeat. They're the social media equivalent of the mainstream media.
Is the Empire looking to strike when the iron's hot?
Toss away the "goodwill" while you still can?
It wouldn't be a surprise.

2025-03-15 16:57:23

As opposed to America's founding, when it was believed that we have inalienable rights that come from God...
Our society, for a very long time, has believed that rights come from man himself, specifically the man (or group) that wields power.
If it's popular it's a right, if those who wield power "make it legal," then it's a right.
God and our natural and inalienable rights are a thing of the past.
Both sides believe in this...even those who use God as a smokescreen on the right.
Both sides censor, steal, redistribute, fight endless wars, and are beholden to foreign nations first.
The difference between the two sides is that when their opponents are in power, they scream "tyranny."
When they are in power, it is not.
And back and forth we go in "Our Democracy."™️

2025-03-13 15:19:13

Trump says that the EU was formed to "screw" the U.S. and that may be true, I don't know.
But one thing I do know, is that the EU is modeled after the U.S. (at least the post-1865 U.S.).
After the Civil War, the U.S. did not go back to being a decentralized union (without the slavery). That's what should have happened...ban slavery across the board, and go back to being decentralized and unique states.
Instead, the U.S. became a consolidated and centralized power located in DC.
Everything would flow from DC.
The states would be homogenized, and local cultures whisked away.
When you travel the U.S., it often feels like you never left home. With the exception of restaurants and the wonders of nature, the states have become a carbon copy of one another.
There's Home Depot, Lowe's, McDonalds, Best Buy, Kohl's...etc...etc.
Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike any of these places, but all of them are tentacles of the Grand Octopus in DC.
If DC says check for :vaccine passports," they'll all comply. If DC says "go woke," they will all go woke.
The European Union is modeled after this.
All of the European nations would be homogenized, and take their orders from their own DC (i.e., Brussels).
Local cultures would homogenized.
Is it a coincidence that both the United States and European opened their borders?
When is such insanity acceptable, unless there's an ulterior motive?
Both the United States (post-1865) and the European Union look to me to be the models of Globalism.
Do this to the whole world!
Any country that seeks to retain its own nationality and its own culture is labeled the enemy.
Every nation must be homogenized...to take orders from some centralized entity.
God forbid.

2025-03-11 15:31:30

By far.
And Trump compares him to Liz Cheney?
Big blunder. https://m.primal.net/PcIJ.png

It's true.
The burglar always has an excuse:
"You don't understand, I have to steal because [XYZ]."
"Let me steal just one more time, and then I'll change my ways."
"You'll see, just one more time." https://m.primal.net/PatM.png

2025-03-09 19:35:38

As long as there have been libertarians, the cry has always been the same — shrink the state.
The longer you wait, the harder it will be for the people to accept.
The hatred against Elon proves this point.
The people are addicted to the state that enslaves them. https://image.nostr.build/586a57a87587d9f999a218183680164a1ad8744c3c20a2620372e8ff449f16d5.jpg

2025-03-08 17:39:17

This is not a bad idea, but corruption doesn't reside in politicians alone.
Citizens WANT politicians to act like criminals:
- Steal my neighbor's money for me.
- Take away my neighbor's rights.
- Send my neighbor to die for a foreign nation.
- Mandate my neighbor to wear masks and take jabs that don't work.
- (the list of crimes is endless)
So you can't want your politician to be a criminal FOR YOU and not be corrupt FOR HIMSELF. https://m.primal.net/PYYr.png

Will Trump really chisel ethnic cleansing onto his legacy?
After everything he’s been through?
You never know.
The media destroyed themselves by lying about Covid.
Corporations ruined their businesses going woke.
People do things that don’t make sense.

2025-02-16 21:25:48

Ethnic cleansing is not bold.
Why Trump would want such a stain on his legacy is beyond me.
People focus on and remember the negative, no matter what good a person does.
Forcing people off their land, and prohibiting them from returning to their land is a big negative. https://m.primal.net/OzYH.png

Banking, in and of itself, is a great industry.
However (like everything else) when you mix power, greed, and a lust for control, you get terrible mischief.
Ever since Christ overturned the tables of the money changers, humanity has been dealing with the same story.
I just came across a quote from the 1830's, when President Andrew Jackson closed down the central bank at the time, called the Second Bank of the United States.
(Yes, the Federal Reserve is not the first central bank that Americans have suffered under.)
Here's what Jackson said when he shut down the Second Bank. Notice how the same words can be said today:
"Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time, and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank…You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out.”
Jackson did rout them out, and this was the only time period in U.S. history when the national debt was ZERO.
But alas, the power-hungry regrouped and came back, ultimately with the Federal Reserve in 1913.
And, now, WE (you and I) live in an America that has $36 TRILLION in debt (that's a long way from ZERO).
Our country has been bankrupted both morally and economically.
The new thing is to move into "crypto," which like any other form of money will have its positives and negatives.
I don't know what the future holds, but one thing is for sure...
We need to beware the power-hungry who will certainly desire the use of "crypto" as a way to satisfy their lust for control.

2025-01-14 20:32:29

Just because the Democrats look like fools (they always do) does not make Hegseth good for the job.
During the confirmation hearing Tom Cotton (ultra-war hawk) and Hegseth were trading notes about both being Christian Zionists.
That's a red flag.
I don't care how absurd the Democrats are.

2025-01-14 19:36:24

Hegseth will bring "peace through strength."
Really?
Well, 'no peace' and 'no strength' costs us $1 Trillion per year.
Will "peace through strength" cost us even more?
Does "strength" mean defending America alone, as it should be...
...or defending, "aiding" and pumping weapons into lots of different foreign nations?
Real peace and real strength means one thing:
Bring the troops home....close all the overseas bases.

2025-01-14 16:22:03

Robustly support Israel how?
Our taxpayer money?
American soldiers lives?
More wars?
All three?

After going most of my life without hearing an American mention the nation of Greenland…
All of a sudden, millions of Americans are infatuated with the place.
They cannot wait for this paradise in the North to be a part of the bankrupt empire.
They can’t wait for the inhabitants of this northern paradise to be able to call themselves Americans.
I never knew such love & affection existed!
How could it have been hidden from me my entire life?

Bernie Sanders complains that we don't have a democracy, but an oligarchy.
He doesn't see that the two go hand in hand.
Democracy is rule by public opinion.
Public opinion is shaped by the most powerful minorities -- oligarchs.
So, democracy and oligarchy are two sides of the same coin.
America was not setup to be a democracy. But alas, over time, it morphed into one.
If we're stuck with democracy, then we're stuck with oligarchy.
In such a circumstance, the key question then becomes:
- Do the oligarchs (in power) hate the people? .. or ..
- Do the oligarchs (in power) have a more benevolent view of the people?
It's a sad situation to be in. Those in power should automatically care for the nation...and the well being of those who live in it.
But that's not what you get when have a democracy.
In fact, our nation has been (consciously and purposefully) destroyed by democracy.
