Father, Hiker, Investor, Nerd & American Patriot... AMERICA FIRST! Is not MAGA and not Israel. We have been sold out by both parties. Hope is not a strategy.

R's could've cut spending, could've enacted the DOGE cuts, could've stayed out of the mid east, but threw it all away - $41 trillion before Christmas...

The computer projects chaos for the next two years. We're going into stagflation: economic growth declines while inflation rises.
People who voted Democrat thinking they'd get paradise will see that it doesn't matter whom you put in. Washington is Washington.

Abdul El-Sayed says that he wants the government to put money in people's pockets. But the government has no money that it doesn't first take from people's pockets. So what he's really advocating is that the government take money away from some people and give it to other people.

It’s kinda crazy that 70-80 year olds are generally seen as unemployable due to physical and mental decline. But we’re allowing them to run our entire country.

There are no mirrors in government. We're always the problem, never them. For decades, I've heard that everything would be fine if people paid all the taxes government thinks they owe.

Equality diminishes individualism.
Sparta didn't issue coins because it didn't want wealth accumulation. The Ten Commandments say, “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods.”
Yet that's what these socialists do: “He has more than me. That's unfair.”
There it is, the truth. I think DJT may be delusional at this point.
Shut the fuck up already. You had everything going for you and the Republicans. You failed the American people on every promise you made, and as if that wasn’t enough, you handed the Democrats and the far left the keys to this country for years to come.
You didn’t just destroy your own legacy. You destroyed the Republican Party’s future.

Ana, don’t over complicate things. The Founders were clear that we should have no foreign entanglements. Period.

"If you put the government in charge of this Sahara desert, there would be a shortage of sand in three years." - Milton Friedman
This is one of my favorite quotes from Milton Friedman. Government is a necessary evil. It is not there to be Santa Clause. That was Marx’s idea.

The Democrats will so screw up everything between 2026 into 2028, this will be the first opportunity for a surge in 3rd Party activity as the Democrats prove once and for all that the Marxist-socialistic class warfare does not work.
FDR used it but that won only one time.
They blamed the Great Depression of Republican tariffs with no mention of the 1931 Sovereign Defaults that helped to wipeout 9,000 banks.

The economy is not working. GDP is falling and Europe is desperate for war.
You are hearing all the governments telling people to stock up for what is their intended war. They will create some sort of false flag to claim they have been attacked by Russia.

I really don't know which lunatic decided that a White kid born in 2005 owes the world an apology for something that happened 300 years ago
Slavery wasn't some White invention. Every civilization did it. Africans sold other Africans. The Arab slave trade ran for over a thousand years and enslaved millions. Nobody talks about that
And guess who actually ended it? The West. Britain banned the trade and literally sent its navy out to hunt down slave ships. That part somehow never makes it into the lecture
Meanwhile, slavery still exists today in parts of Africa and the Middle East. Mauritania only made it a crime in 2007. You will never see the outrage or the protests... Nothing but silence
But in the West, people are told to feel guilty for being born. Criminals get excused because "the system made him do it." Repeat offenders get arrested again and again and walk right back out. The victim gets forgotten and the criminal gets treated like the victim
Seriously, how did it get this bad? The same civilization that built the modern world and ended slavery is now tearing itself apart and calling it morality
You have no reason to feel guilty for things that happened centuries ago. You don't even remember what you ate last week
This isn't compassion, it's insanity
This is literally civilizational suicide

Bush’s presidency will be forever defined by the catastrophic Iraq war. Had Bush declared victory & left Iraq at the eight month mark, he could have forged a legacy of greatness, not failure and spilled blood & wasted treasure.
Something for POTUS @realDonaldTrump to consider.
Better yet, recall his own advice to Bush from 2007, once Iraq had descended into chaos.
The Walk Away option:
The President can avoid another round of diplomatic frustrations and dangerous escalation by simply declaring victory and walking away. President Trump has already laid the groundwork for this scenario; each time he’s discussed the war and listed off the number of Iranian capabilities we’ve destroyed, he’s messaging a win.
Per his own statements, the war ends when Trump says it’s over.
Now is the perfect time for him to say it’s over.
By pulling our blockade from the Gulf & our troops out of our remaining bases in the region, we end the conflict kinetically while simultaneously (finally) depriving Iran a key point of leverage: actionable military targets to strike. We essentially force Iran to reopen the SOH because they can no longer reasonably justify attacking ships without an active aggressor to blame.
The Iranians have demonstrated that they care deeply about public opinion—therefore, once we lift the blockade, they’re likely to engage in serious talks with the Gulf states to come up with an arrangement that quickly opens the SOH.
We then use economic leverage to our advantage: we offer incremental sanctions relief on Iranian oil to make opening SOH a non-negotiable for the Iranians. While President Trump takes a victory lap about having ended the war & ensuring that Iran won’t have a nuclear weapon, our diplomats can quietly work with our Gulf allies and the Iranians to negotiate a workable peace plan that ensures the SOH stays open.
Right now Iranian leaders are unable to make many concessions with the U.S. threatening another round of strikes.
The Iranian people rallied around the hardliners in their government after we killed the former supreme leader & members of his family including children, and the tragic bombing of a girl’s school. If you understand basic human nature, you’ll understand why all of this has had a radicalizing effect on their population. Now, many Iranians believe that the only acceptable path forward, for the sake of their national pride and to deter future attacks, is by forcing a badly blooded U.S. retreat from the region.
Our walking away from the conflict will provide Iranian leadership a symbolic victory they can tout to their now-galvanized people, allowing more latitude for them to eventually reach a compromise with us on bigger items, like the nuclear issue. By walking away, we buy more trade space for compromise in future negotiations that won’t be possible if we remain poised to strike Iran.
At the moment, Trump has the political power in the U.S. to sell walking away as a victory to his base. Of course, the same neocons who talked him into this war will complain and attack him, but they don’t represent a legitimate constituency.
This war is widely unpopular—ending it will be widely popular. In the long run, history will commend Trump for choosing this option.
In recognizing that the war was a mistake, and by leaving quickly before getting bogged down in a quagmire, he avoids falling into the gambler’s fallacy that ensnared many of his predecessors and got thousands of Americans killed.

In the early morning of August 31, a line of thunderstorms moved over the Grand Canyon. I managed to capture this bolt that powered through the heavy rain and landed inside the canyon. #azwx

The policies of the Progressive are right out of Marx’s Communist Manifesto. They do not believe in God. Marx called religion is the opium of the people.
For thousands of years this idea of robbing people because they have more than you has resulted in hundreds of deaths from civil wars.
The progressive are getting the upper hand in the Democratic camp. Even James Carville is concerned.
They will not merely destroy the Democratic Party, they will so polarize the country and we will see a rise in separatist movements while others will simply leave.
We have already witnessed the great migrations since COVID from Blue states to the Red. This time, they may cause the great migration from North America to the South.
