  1. I applaud everyone who's been paying attention to USD hegemony and the economic repercussions taking place in the US. Btw, We're not at 6.8% inflation; it's about 40% since Jan 2020. It's a very strategic dismantling of the West.

  2. These truly are the end times. It's not like our economy can absorb another economic crisis. The value of the US Dollar and standard of living have gone as low as they can. The next crisis will bankrupt the middle class officially. Hard to imagine you need to be making $100K single just to be considering centre middle class these days; thanks Federal Reserve inflation!

  3. People need to quit blaming senile Joe. He doesn't know where he is half the time. Who is really pulling the strings?

  4. Millennial here at 30 years old; married, own a home, child etc. I went to community college and got my Associates in 2016. It was about $10k and I'm glad FedEx paid for it all. However, if I could have gone back and done it over again; I would have skipped it. College these days is a waste of time with the illusion of information scarcity. Unless you are going into Medicine or STEM; avoid it at all costs. Especially if you're looking at a top tier University. Otherwise you'll just be another statistic working at Starbucks with $100,000 in debt.

  5. "Accuse your enemy of what you are doing." Considering that these people have done JUST THAT since Trump, hearing them saying "Millions are being killed" is terrifying.

  6.  @tayhayes2781  Yeah, that's what happens in war time; humor keeps humanity alive in dark times. Rolling up in a ball and crying about it accomplishes nothing.

  7.  @stoneyrules  Can you elaborate on how Trump did not "Help us." But Biden is?

  8. Government isn't THIS creative and they never have been. Somebody or a group of people is putting up BIG BUCKS to see this happen in government.

  9. I commend Trump for his strength of character, but I still won't vote for him. People have very little understanding of the fundamentals that allowed his Presidency to roll this country on an economic and foreign policy basis. I'm well aware that most of the Covid issue was beyond his control, but virtually all the inflation we've seen was a result of his policies. His relationship with the Federal Reserve and policy in 2020 is what led to the current state of affairs we are in. As well as his Trump continuing Obama's legacy abroad as far as sanctions and tariffs. This exacerbated problems in South America and East Asia. If Trump gets back into office, he'll probably do what he said he'd do in 2020. Fire Jerome Powell and appoint somebody who will slash interest rates. Then we get inflation all over again when the demand curve goes insane. Again, I like Trump for his strength of character, but he is economic suicide. Just because he got to ride a bull-market thru his Presidency (that began in 2014) doesn't mean he had anything to do with it's inception.

  10. You forgot the Biden increased the gasoline tax from 18.3 cents to 53.3 cents when he signed the American Rescue Act. Sec. 9512 (a) It's all there; black and white, clear as crystal.

  11. Many homeless people are actually fairly intelligent; they know how to game the system. The people that are sitting at the low end of the IQ bell curve that can't function in society are the people living in Section 8 on income and energy assistance. Those are the real victims in the economy and there's around 45 million of them. Not pan handlers that make $50 an hour! Someone with an IQ of 85 wouldn't figure out how the earn money in that manner.

  12.  @taylormickelson225  Yet we lost some 9 Million jobs in Spring of 2020. Are you seriously saying that re-opening businesses is job creation? Nobody can be this dense.

  19. China is watching these segments; laughing their balls off at how poor our security apparatus is! And that's the point, our security net sucks. Surely they will be looking to take advantage of it. The balloons were just a goof to see how far they could push it.

  21. In all honest, he's probably already confessed to his parents about her disappearance. They are more than likely seeking legal advice to carry the news forward before the son says something stupid and gets a life sentence.

  22. There's no money in taking the time to be 100% accurate and correct. They get ad revenue for clickbait titles and being first; plain and simple, sadly.

  23. I don't think so; people fell for Ukraine just as easily as Covid. We are definitely headed for changed, but people are blaming the wrong person. The culprits are in the mirror and Americans don't even realize it. We point the finger at politicians serving the interests of foreign government; screaming about nationalism as we chant our slogans. Yet at the same time we all have an Amazon prime account and ship Chinese products on the daily.

  24. I was working for Werner hauling Anheuser. $70k per year; 6 days/72hours a week. January 1st we were forced to sign a form that reduced our unpaid vacation from 13 to 8 days per year. I quit 6 months later and I'll never take another CDL job again. Wages don't keep up with inflation regardless of industry and a CDL itself has lost over half it's value in the last 40 years. People may not be doing the math, but they feel it at the grocery store. If you didn't get a 30% raise within the last 2 years. Then you've lost market value.

  26. Well, the Universities have been churning out activists for years now. Many are currently becoming educators.
    11
  27. Ex-truck driver here, let me rephrase so people understand. There IS a truck driver shortage. The company I worked for before quitting had a 30% shortage of needed drivers. Most other companies cannot fill their staffing quotas. Now, there is NOT a CDL shortage. Only a shortage of people willing to take bad pay and lengthy work hours. A CDL has lost roughly 50% of it's value in the last 40 years inflation adjusted. It's just not worth it anymore.
    11
  28.  @cletusspucklerstablejeaniu1059  Perhaps.... Do you lie, just curious? Considering he's the first President whom of which has had his life pasted to a camera and television for four straight years. Which is the new reality for anybody, truly. Would you have anything to be embarrassed about if your life was televised 24/7? People like him because he's human and doesn't pretend to be. Btw, being old, senile, or having memory problems is not always synonymous with lying, which the media would love to attribute all of which to.

  29. The most dangerous people in the world aren't necessarily the ones that can't see their shadow, but deny it's existence entirely.

  30. They calculate inflation just like they calculate unemployment; using a bunch of fancy terminologies and subcategories to produce the most attractive number. If you crunch unemployment according to (working age populations) with W2/1099 status. Then you'll realize unemployment is in the 20% to 25% range no joke. If you look at the M0-4 USD money supply, you'll see an increase of about 15.4T to 21.4T since January 2020. That's a 38% increase, which matches the CPI index average impeccably. I've seen friends and family get ecstatic lately over getting a $2/h raise, but they fail to realize that if they didn't get a raise of something around 30% in the last two years, then you've lost money.

  31. Tech companies found out years ago that their algorithms can predict what most Americans will do. Plus they can manipulate behavior. The government is also in on the sick joke. It doesn't matter what one person does. They know that in the end a majority of people will perceive their propaganda as it was intended. Why do you think they've been selling your personal data for the last decade? 🤣

  32.  @AskMississippiAskMississippi  You seem to have a full time job posting that garbage on every single video. Do you have any capacity for critical thinking? Do you even question what you are ideologically processed by? Quit being a useful idiot for morons in Congress and in the media.

  33.  @alexblaze8878  I'm not downplaying how poor of a President Biden is. But what's going on right now has very little to do with him. This country is tearing itself apart because these cartels of tech and media companies know they can make a buck from a blazing dumpster fire. People are losing their minds, because they are constantly being manipulated by the software of these tech giants. Chaos sells and they are going to show people anything to start a conflict, protest, and/or riot. These people you see rioting and looting 'do so' because they know there will be no repercussions and whatever excuse they have makes it perfectly justifiable. They see a series of police brutality videos on FB, then they take to the streets to "revolt". Try not to project your life, behavior, or competence onto the low IQ tier of society.

  34. Personally, I quit my truck driving job right in the middle of this entire freak show, June 2020. They dropped my unpaid vacation days from 13 to 8 per year and I bounced with many others. I took another job working for an excavation plumbing company. After the third week, they gave me a pay stub for $420, when they owed me some $1,100 for my work according to their own pay scale. I walked on the spot.. Since then, I've done just fine running UberEATS, DoorDash, and GrubHub; plus making alcohol on the side. Not sure if that's a story similar to many Americans, but that's why I left the greater workforce. Horrible companies and cheated pay that doesn't keep up with inflation in the slightest. I'm assuming many Americans have jumped ship and are working delivery apps. The market is saturated with them.

  38. It's not just in politics; it's everywhere. Can't tell you how many times I've seen incompetent people get rewarded in different jobs due to either affirmative action, nepotism, favoritism, or flat out virtue signalling. It's a disease that's infected the culture.

  39.  @cletusspucklerstablejeaniu1059  Who said I loved Trump? Name calling only means you are losing the debate and it's juvenile. You're not thinking critically Cletus. Technological advances have put a significant amount of people's lives on the spotlight 24/7. So you'll see more and hear more than you ever have before. You have an immense amount of spite, envy, and pride that is corrupting your ability to think rationally. Unless you have something of equal value to bring on the other side of the spectrum. I'm not going to continue the conversation.

  43.  @davelock5479  Reg. Republican here; it really doesn't matter at this point. All this insanity is being driven by the deficit and currency devaluation. The stranglehold of corporations over each party has largely caused this. Citizens United was a massive mistake fated by the decision of ONE judge; imagine that.

  52.  Paul L  It's crushing anybody that doesn't fall into the top quartile of earners. The middle class; 40%-60% earners (Acc. to the Fed Res. Board website) has lost more than half their value in the last 30 years. The bottom 20% have maintained a total net worth of $3 Trillion in the last 30 years. Everyone is getting eaten alive and most Americans don't realize it, but they feel it at Walmart.

  53.  @jessicaconner80  Sounds like you're on the right track to finding yourself. Never give up on progressing yourself and striving for knowledge and wisdom. We all have different personalities and it's the duty of each to expand more in the other direction. Conservatives being more open and liberals being more organized. If you're interested, I'd throw Jordan Peterson and Russel Brand your way. They are a wealth of spirit and knowledge.

  58. To be fair, I don't think either party is going to do anything about it. Policies aren't causing insanity; insanity is causing bad policies. Insanity being caused by $7 Trillion printed dollars in less than 2 years and a demographic implosion creating a debt crisis. Not to mention global tensions.

  59. He's really hit and miss for me. His segment of the diesel fuel supply had me really irritated. He literally said that we'd run out of diesel by Thanksgiving; which was an obvious lie from the beginning. Whether he was aware of it or not tells you something about his show script. Maybe he should do more research and due diligence? I'd love to believe he's sincere, but he doesn't always give an accurate story for one reason or another.

  60. Nothing can be fixed until the deficit implodes. All this insanity is stemming from currency devaluation.

  77. Bud, my own family (Republicans) can't see it. My wife and I and several others are the only ones in our entire family seeing this. My own parents are pretending nothing is going on and my mother is trying to educate her neighbors on why they need to get the vaccine! There has got to be something in the water. I don't drink public water. But if there isn't than it has to be mass complacency. People have it too good and aren't prepared to fight for it because they're accustomed to everything working 24/7. Give government an inch, they will take a mile. "Two weeks to slow the spread" turned into, "Two jabs to keep your Civil Rights." What's next: "Two arrests to send you and your wife off to a concentration camp?" If anybody has not read "The Gulag Archipelago", then they need to ASAP. The parallels between the beginning of the regression in the Soviet Union and the US is identical.

Defamation lawsuits and negligent garbage define this Administration.

  90. Well, the biggest problem is trying to design a system that doesn't incentivize "gaming behavior." Obviously, some political figures do it for votes. People need to understand that we have around 45 million people that can't function in the economy due to cognitive problems. That's around 15% of people falling around an IQ of 85 or below. You need something of at least 90 to use a smartphone and computer. Even the trucking jobs are requiring smartphones now for paperwork and income related uses. It's one of the biggest reasons that we have a realistic unemployment around 20%.

  95. I think this is probably a multi faceted issue like everything else. One thing I don't hear mentioned above all else is competence. From my experience, competence has completely left the room. My order is always wrong, I don't get silverware at a restaurant without asking, and everyone else has a five second attention span. You can't blame it all of unemployment insurance, because recipient rates are close to where they were pre-Covid. One major factor that people need to consider, is that the pandemic completely changed the outlook on work. Especially through the essential worker phase. Why on earth should I work hard for $15/h, while many of my co-workers receive the same amount doing the bare minimum? I believe many Americans started feeling that and jumping ship as part of the equation. Tucker was slightly wrong on one thing and that's the number of workers that have left the workforce. It's not 5 million, it's closer to 10 million. Social Security beneficiaries aren't out of the norm for retirement. Labor participation pre-Covid was 64%, now it's 61%. 'Where did those people go?' is the question of the year.

  96. Unpopular opinion here, but I've actually enjoyed the media disregarding a whopping majority of mass shootings that have taken place over the past two years. Most people think that mass shootings are non-existent now, but quite the contrary; you're simply hearing about them less. Don't give mass killers the attention they want. They seek immortal life through the media cartel and an image of their face that will haunt Americans for generations. I have no problem with them not reporting these low-lives.

  98. No, it's just ballot adjudication. The Antrim Cy. Forensics team in Michigan proved it. All it takes is a poll executive to adjudicate any number of ballots to a certain vote. They could use the application to group 5000 ballots at a time and alter there vote from red to blue. We need a system that verifies for people how they voted. A Blockchain voting system seems optimal imo.

  99.  @SoCal9705  If you own or lease your own truck, as well as have you own authority. Then yes, this is possible after expenses to make six figures as a truck driver. Although you used to be able to pull $200k, that isn't the case anymore. As a company driver though, this isn't the case. Those average earnings are around $49k per year. My annual average was $70k, but I was also one of the most efficient and long hour drivers at 72h per week and I did side work to get bonuses.

  100.  @realresident1890  The immigration crisis has been really bad in Chicago. Remember the city went thru with the 20 Million dollar housing/encampment levy when the city residents overwhemingly said 'No!'. That was less than a year ago; people are still pissed it's being put up.

  105. Corrupt or not, these people are in no way (able-minded) to confront the tech/monopoly issues. Not a single member of Congress can talk to you about coding algorithms. We need younger people that know a thing or two about how to fight these tech giants.

  106. @Freedom Seeker You're describing early childhood development. So yes, you can maximize the potential intelligence from a developing human. As far as an adult goes, this is impossible. There is no evidence I'm aware of that allows for an adults performance on IQ tests to improve. There are all kinds of tests that claim the raise intelligence, but clinically the data seems to suggest that performing well at one test only gives similar results to distal tests. It does not improve the ability of a person to perform better at other tests. If you score a 20 on the ACT for example (which is an IQ test by definition). Then you may be able to alter the test by a small margin. But you will never score a 28 for example. You can certainly damage intelligence, but expanding it is something we haven't been able to achieve yet.

  111. I wish Conservative types would discontinue statements like, "The US is superior to 3rd world countries." Newsflash, have you been to the 100 largest cities in the US? We are a 3rd world country in many areas. We have cities with crime rates worse than Columbia and Brazil in the 90s.

  112. The first problem is that everybody assumes that this is the fault of either the local or city government. Not exactly, it's the direct fault of the people living right here in America. Not sure if people have been looking around, but Americans have quite literally been losing their minds. Go drive or visit the grocery store and put your phone away, you'll see what's wrong with America in a matter of seconds. We have a pandemic of ignorant, arrogant, and narcissistic people having their way with this country. Blame the media, blame the colleges, blame social media, blame those dumb smart-phones, and after that blame yourself as well!

  113. I think it's time we put the Prussian model behind us... 5 days a weeks, 7 hours a day, and for what? A retention of 5% knowledge and skill acquired over a 13 year didactic education? How about we send them to a classroom 1-2 hours for several days a week, followed by workshop, and life skills. Oh, but that doesn't produce brain dead consumers does it? I know I'm going to sound left leaning when I say this, but the problem is systemic. We are witnessing the fall of Rome in real time.

  116. I disagree, but not by a huge margin. The greatest threat right now, is how social media algorithms are manipulating your behavior. This is why I tell people to delete their Facebook and Twitter. They get ad revenue by showing you what you want to see and showing you the most controversial trending of that subject. People are divided because they're being conditioned to hate, all for ad revenue.

  117.  @caliindoor  I'll be frank, it's blatantly obvious you're depressed. Nobody with any self respect goes looking for anti-intellectual fights. Whatever is bothering or causing trauma in your life; go sort it out and stop wasting your time trying to bully people.

  118. Unless they pull another Obama out of the butts; Hillary is the only option for 2024. Though if the GOP runs a moderate, this country will go blood red. I don't have anything personal against Trump. However, we know what they are prepared to do should he try to run again. He's completely uncontrollable and they despise that.

  120. Vera, as a retired educator, could you explain why teachers feel so pressured to pass such large volumes of students that are not meeting old standards? I graduated in 2012 and the educational system have a dramatic overhaul between 2013 and 2014 where they began passing just about anybody that could breathe. My own sister was accepted into a University at a 7th grade reading/writing level. We were extremely worried, but it seems that the college teachers are doing the same thing. She has had virtually 0 homework since 6th grade with anybody she attends and the requirements to pass these courses are microscopic in comparison to what I experienced in school.

  121. People need to understand that these activists are desperately trying to change the age of consent. "16 year olds should be able to vote!" Which isn't going to come without "16 year olds can consent as pornographic actors", for example. It boggles my mind that so many people don't understand how the rule of law flows from one subject to another. They assume that they can legalize one particular agenda at a time with no unintended consequence in a distal category. Believe me, it's no accident. They want to take advantage of your children in every way possible. A wet dream of these people would be to make children property of the state with full consent of their bodies and minds.

  122. I feel I am very quickly transitioning from conservative to anarchist. What's the point of natural or human rights when they can be stripped away by some corrupt bureaucrat? They face no repercussions for committing crimes that the rest of us would be serving LIFE in prison for. As far as I'm concerned; any government conduct to infringe on my ability to protect myself, protect my family, and speak my mind is worthy of capital punishment via public hanging.

Then maybe you'd share what I am missing instead of low-key insulting my intelligence? What 'lack of economic understanding of mine' is so glaringly obvious to you?
    2
  126.  @indakgalak  Due elaborate on what Bidenflation is? Nobody seems to know. The economy was booming from 2014 to 2019. This was largely besides Trump's Administration. Inflation (which takes 12-24 months to mature) was a result of his cabinet policies as well as the policies of the Federal Reserve. I'm curious to how Biden caused inflation (which began in Q1 of 2021 and got to 9.1% CPI in June of 2022). All of this was due to ultra-low rates, PPP loans, and printing under the Trump Administration.
    2
  127.  @jmd489  Every President since Clinton has spent more than the previous. This is largely a mathematic inevitability as interest on debt compounds and demographic problems grow the Federal budget each year. It's not as simple as 'over-spending on military or discretionary' as many like to believe.

  128. There's something wrong with this Administration; there's something wrong with people in general. The scariest part is that the causation is probably something nobody is aware of.

  132. Joe Biden did do good things, from a certain point of view. He gave Americans enough Child Tax credits so that 7 Million people would permanently leave the workforce. Which I guarantee you was the opposite effect of what the Democrats thought would happen. It's just one step closer to dismantling this freak-show of an economy and political elitist system we have in my opinion.

  133.  @jimmyboy2165  People that can convey their understanding of a situation don't use petty insults. If China was selling arms and missiles to Mexico that they were using to skirmish against border patrol, along with creating a coup to put in a Mexican President they approve of. Would you really be surprised if the US invaded? That's the same situation unfolding in Ukraine. Civilians dies in war. Using that as a catalyst to call other people morons is extremely unintelligent. I wonder how many war crimes have been committed by Ukrainian forces. We don't know, because it's not in the interest of the media.

  134.  @nycdweller  I used to use Blue Cross/Shield, as 'meh' as it was. But I switched to duel enrollment on my wife's insurance. All the tech companies offer health insurance plans similar to Blue Cross/Shield, but hers is better. Plus, in all honestly looking after your physical and mental health is the key. It may be useful to have a 'catastrophic' plan in case of a horrible accident, but the lesser co-pay plans are just money makers for insurance.

  135. The biggest problem is trying to design a system that doesn't incentivize "gaming behavior." Obviously, some political figures do it for votes. People need to understand that we have around 45 million people that can't function in the economy due to cognitive problems. That's around 15% of people falling around an IQ of 85 or below. You need something of at least 90 to use a smartphone and computer. Even the trucking jobs are requiring smartphones now for paperwork and income related uses. It's one of the biggest reasons that we have a realistic unemployment around 20%.

  136. Unpopular opinion here, but if your politicians are getting worse; I'd bet your culture is too. In the Midwest, the political behavior in elected positions seems very reflective of the attitude that most people have. I get the door dropped in my face half the time, a significant amount of people don't even say "please" or "thank you", not to mention the driving has become erratic to say the least. People give each other dirty looks for pushing any direction even close to them at the grocery store. Many of them can't take a moments peace to put their phone away. People completely ignore customers at the front desk REGARDLESS of restaurant or fast food joint. Mind you, this is all of Ohio. It's also all of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and many metropolitan areas of the southern United States. We have a serious cultural problem in this country and I think it's time we acknowledge it in order to fix a much bigger problem. Prescription meds; whether they are Statins, Zoloft, or Xanax are getting thrown out like Halloween candy. People simply can't take it I presume; they walk out into traffic as if they wanted to die. I can't be the only person that has noticed such volatile behavior in the last 6 to 12 months. I mean, we have patients that walk into the office (that we know) and are genuinely nice people. Only to be screamed and cursed at when their surgery date has to be moved two days. Whether it's the fuel-grocery prices, vaccines, social media, or something else; there is seriously something wrong with people nowadays. It's like everybody is nice and gentle; until you inconvenience them for 5 seconds and they are ready to rip your throat out at a moments notice.

  137. Ex-Truck Driver here, if anyone wants to know the real problem. It's wages and hours. I ran a day-cab hauling Anheuser 6 days/66 hours a week at $70k per year. I quit after Werner had me sign a form acknowledging that I would only have 8 instead of 13 days of unpaid vacation per year. Plus we didn't get Holidays off automatically. 54 cents a mile (which is what I got paid) is the equivalent of $17/h with over-time if you're working 66 hours a week. Also, my position was in the top quartile of the industry for a company driver. In 1980 you could have pulled $37,000 on average ($106k inflation adjusted for 2020). Today the average is around $49k. There's a shortage of drivers because a CDL has quite literally lost 55% of it's value in the last 40 years. And nobody wants to put up with the ridiculous hours and side work.

  141. Employers are picky? I'm afraid not. Ask the business owners themselves; many applicants and nobody shows up. Why? Unemployment insurance claims. Which isn't the totality, but it's some of the problem. I quit my truck driving job in June 2020 because they took my 13 annual unpaid vacation days away and gave me 8.

  142. Stop listening the the FED garbage CPI-basket based inflation numbers. All they do is construct a digital commodity basket and switch items out to average the lowest possible inflation rate possible. If you are paying attention to the M0-4 USD money supplies; you'll see that inflation is around 45%+ since January 2020. Yes, I'm dead serious; you lost almost half the value of your income. You feel it every day you go to the grocery store...

  143. The liberals warned us about this back in the 1980s and they were made fun of. NOW, nobody cares. These corporations are unbelievable powerful and they will take you out if you pose a threat.

Try and sell raw milk or cheese in most states and you'll end up with a SWAT team raiding your farm; it's unbelievable.

  145. The biggest problem is that most Americans are part-time politic-ers that think they get to have a baseless (yet) merited opinion on world events whenever they 'trend'. Almost nobody is aware that the Obama Administration orchestrated most of this conflict. They helped overthrow the sitting Ukrainian Government in 2014. Replaced it with individuals they 'approved of', as well as sold firearms and missiles to Ukraine to fight Russian separatists. NATO has been strategically brewing this conflict, knowing full well that Putin was going to respond with military force. Things are going exactly as planned as far as I can see and NATO will get the war they've been dreaming of. Gotta love the clown - Senator Marko Rubio grilling Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland about bio-research labs in Ukraine. To which she confirmed their existence. Though he made a very strange remark, asking that "if there was to be a biological attack in Ukraine, it would no doubt come from the Russians?" To which she replied that "it would be likely and that it's a classic Russian strategy to accuse your enemy of what you plan to do." DING DING DING people, have we learned nothing? Sounds like the US is planning to release a bio-weapon in Ukraine, blame the Russians, and justify the war they've always wanted.
    2
  146. The biggest problem is that the left most easily converts children and teens of a conservative personality. Being low in openness is the defining trait, which is not a huge surprise. It's why they can so easily regurgitate garbage based on the religion of the cult. Conservative parents with children of either liberal or conservative personalities need to spearhead the philosophy behind their culture in the home. If you don't understand why you're championing individual sovereignty, capitalism, pro-life etc. Then neither will your kid. That's how the left are converting them. And once they do, it's going to be extremely difficult to win them back. Marxism and it's derivatives are antihuman. How can you have a relationship with someone that doesn't believe that you own your own body, or that your should be allowed to own or sell property?

  151. Why aren't people being held accountable!? - (Some Boomer in the comments) There is no accountability anymore, because there's nobody left to properly enforce a society with ethics and morals.

  153.  @Goibniu001  Pretty much, it's not limited to any one industry. The purchasing power of the USD declines and wages do not keep up with inflation in any steady rate.

  154. The only thing I fear is a cultural blowout in another direction. People fail to realize that tyranny never comes from the top, it comes from everywhere. It's not going to go away whether we win this fight or not; it's engrained in a massive portion of the culture. We cannot afford to become complacent even if we win. Millions of Americans actively partook in the government propaganda and mandate threats of this Administration. Those people will still be here when it's all said and done. It will take decades to undo the damage that has been done in the last several years.

  156. I'm actually amazed that most of the publicity is coming from leftwing outlets regarding Kamala's absence. Late last night she was expected to make a concession speech after they had already projected Trump's win and Harris simply left the headquarters without a word to supporters. They had a campaign manager make a two minute speech saying that she had retired for the night and was planning to address everyone the following day. If I was one of the people standing out there for 12 hours; I'd feel abandoned tbh. Imagine Trump just leaving for Mar-a Lago and not saying anything when he lost?

  158. I will NOT die in some foreign dump for the ambitions of bureaucrats; all of which started at the behest of the Obama Adminsitration. If you haven't done your research on how this conflict came about, you need to get on it. There's no excuse with the information of the world at your fingertips. Make no mistake, this Administration could very well institute a drafter for the first time in over 50 years. War is when politicians send you to die fighting a foreign government. Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.

  177. More than likely, different agencies are buying up ammunition and arms because other areas of the Federal Government haven't been allocated with the desired funds to hold off an insurrection. Months before the November election in 2020; just about about agency and state PD were told to prepare for a massive series of riots, violence, and anti-government actions. That said, the consensus was that they anticipated Donald Trump winning a second term. These same agencies and police departments are 'again' getting the word from the top down. Sounds like the government is anticipating mass insurrection.

  204. I am 29, married, own a home, have a child, and have an Associate's Degree that I never used. The educational system is attempting to keep up with the volume of students that are falling behind. Parent are not being much help either because of the large disconnect between parent and child these days; probably from digital media and screen time. So naturally, the standards are being dropped across the board. Which is why it appears that anybody can get a college degree these days. I've seen teacher and after teacher pass students that are absolutely flunking in their courses. My sister (bless her heart) is 20 years old and was accepted to an Interior Design program her second year at a University. Believe it or not, her reading, writing, and vocabulary are at a 7th grade level. She went through rigorous student aid and tutoring until around 2013 when school districts began to overhaul their grade and homework systems. All of a sudden (with no effort) she went from receiving Cs to receiving As and Bs in all her classes throughout high school. Her research papers were full of grammatical errors, sentence structure problems, and simply not following instructions. It got to the point where she stopped correcting herself and quit taking any of it seriously. She still turned in 3 of those research papers in the ladder years of High School and received an A and 2 B's for that work; research papers that would have earned me a D- at best when I was in school. She failed 3 of the 8 criteria for entering her Interior Design program. Being absent two prerequisite courses AND a late submission past their applicant due date. They told my parents that their program was intensely competitive. Yet, she was accepted at the last minute regardless with no questions asked (on the first try). It got to the point where my own father, as well as my wife became concerned that my sister was being accepted into an atmosphere and program that would be doing her a disservice due to her SAT scores. On one half, I'm happy that she's made it this far. However, on the other, I am paranoid that these teachers passing her along are doing her a major disservice.

  205.  @williamfranz9872  Plentiful jobs and higher GDP have preceded all economic recessions and depressions. GDP is no accurate measure of economic prosperity btw; most of GDP is calculated by Government spending. If you pass a 1.5Trillion dollar piece of legislation; GDP goes up.

  206. I wouldn't hold my breath. No matter the outcome, the results will be contested. Expect total chaos to happen regardless. Every election will yield exponential turbulence in this country. Even if Republicans win, there's nothing they can do to stop the retirement crisis or the economic hardship we are in. If we lower the rates and stimulate the economy, we will go into hyperinflation. If we keep raising the rates, there will inevitably be a crash within the next 6 months; followed by hyperinflation. There's no escape from this madness.

  208.  @mr.blonde5344  Nothing you can do about it at this point. People always get caught between the games that central banks and corporations play. Interest rates are being slashed, which means a recession is pretty much inevitable. Many families will have to worry about their stock equity going down -30% and having their car repo'd. People just can't help themselves when they want what they want. Once you hit the luxury stage of a civilization; people would rather be dead than poor, even at the cost of their own family suffering.

  213. Because the US funded the coup that overthrew the Yanukovych Administration in 2014; installing Zelensky as his replacement. Ukraine is a puppet state (for Russia or for America). It's been that way for some time. Ukraine was already at war with it's own people in Donbass. Joining NATO would have forced Europe and the US to fight against the pro-Russians in that war against Russia's border. Those people have been trying to annex themselves with Russia for 20 years; they've recently been annexed by Putin. America doesn't want to give up it's leverage, pure and simple.

  214. I've voted Republican most of my life. There is no way Trump is going to win this election; Republicans are not doing the math on this one. Voter turnout for registered Republicans has been in the dumpster for Mid-terms and the 2023 General Elections. The GOP cannot lose a single state in the Presidential election, but must win THREE or FIVE: Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Considering how bad Republicans got beat in the Ohio 2023 General Election. I have a hard time seeing how Republicans have the advantage. Not to mention that many die hard Trump supporters are now gone and 4 Million new young voters are entering the environment. Turnout in Iowa was also considerably down compared to previous caucuses. The Democrats have always maintained TWO leverages; lockstep voting and routine voting. Republicans are notorious for 'splinter voting'. With an Independent on the official ballot for 2024, you will see a large swathe of Republicans go independent like many did with Ross Perot. Democrats will either vote for Biden or the (primary switch candidate) that many are anticipating. There's no way Trump can win this. Republicans in large are completely exhausted from the last 8 years of his limelight. The fact that he got 51% of the caucus vote shows how divided the GOP actually is. Exit polls in Iowa heavily suggest that Nikki Haley voters would rather vote for Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

  216. Here's the biggest problem in Congress.. Those campaigning and win EITHER: 1: Are fully aware of the freak show that exists and are just looking to milk the cow. 2. Are insanely overwhelmed to near despair, with few pushing on to help Americans. The top issues right now BY FAR are Social Security and the mandatory budget debt crisis. We have a rapidly changing demographic an rising interest debts on the public budget. What happen in 10 years when the Social Security fund runs out and there are too many retirees and not enough young tax payers? What happens when interest becomes 50% of our budget and is fiscally normal? We are either going to go into a long term Government shut-down and debt default OR hyperinflation. Everything else is a side show where the US Government is trying to bully it's way into a position to erase it's own debt and use Russia and China to absorb the fiscal damage at the world stage.

  217. People are so simple. Why do you think we're in this conflict to begin with? Blackrock wants to build strip-malls in Ukraine, period. Why else do you think the Obama Admin formed a coup against Kiev? Then you wonder why Russia got mad? It's all about political and corporate control. If you think that Russia invaded (just cause they could for no reason) you have no business discussing this topic.

  218. Not a single person I've ever met has espoused why this man was such a "terrible president." They always resort to amateur garbage like his 'tweets' or rude behavior at rallies. Which I've still yet to see. Then they will make up some bs about how Trump caused Covid and got 200,000 Americans killed. Mind you these are the same people that would have screamed "fascist" if Trump had single handedly shut down the nation in January. Which is what they virtue signal that they wanted him to do. You can argue about his character and use of words all you want. But terrible President on the basis of policy? I've yet to hear anyone articulate such a thing with actual evidence.

The Scandinavians already tried this; trying to erase the social behaviors and differences in the upbringing of boys and girls. Now they have the largest career inequalities in the world. Not a bad thing, but it goes to show that everything has an equal and opposite reaction. When are these people going to find out that things are the way they are because of individual choices?

Many boomers and Gen X refuse to believe that the MSM and Government agencies are conspiring to lie for profits. Try giving them any number of peer reviewed trial data on mask or vaccine efficacy and people short circuit. If there's anything I've learned from the last two years, it's that almost everybody has their own religion. Whether it's bowing to God, Government, Pharmaceutical companies, MSM, or themselves is their decision.

The people tearing this country apart are not immigrants, they are home grown Americans. All your incompetent and narcissistic sociopaths? Yes, they are all home grown Americans. People complain day in and day out about illegal immigrants and Chinese nationals screwing this country. Believe me, Americans are destroying their own country. If you don't believe me, look at the felon line-up of any local municipality. Look at all the parents that play on their phones while going out to eat with their kids. Looks at all the people posting inane garbage on social media. American citizens thru and thru. We are destroying ourselves. I stopped playing the vote to affect change game long ago. It's all one big game-show where the virtue signalers get to go on a talk show and the virtuous people get a media 'trial by fire'.

  242. What can you do? Even if you managed to be successful, these media companies would flip the switch and convince the entire American public that you are an enemy of the state.

  246.  @jmd489  Well, depends on where the spending is going and who is buying the bonds. Money printing and inflation aren't as simple as many people make it out to be. Interest rates were set to 0.25% in Spring of 2020 by Jerome Powell and the Board of Governor, along with Trump's pressure. Trump threatened Powell if he didn't take rates into negative territory. Had Powell done that, inflation would have been 15-20% in June 2020; not 9.1%

  255. I fear there's nothing they can do at this point. China is positioned to withdraw from the USD, as well as Russia. That's probably why they've been filing to delist their national companies from the NYSE. Democrats KNOW that they cannot stop a red wave in November; so they are setting the game up to fail once they do. Student loans are still in forbearance and the FEDs are buying fortune 500 stocks are top price to keep the market afloat. All of that will collapse once the GOP takes over; that way they can shift the blame. When Democrats say, "the stock market does better under us!" they're not lying. They love to crash the economy on GOP Administrations and Congresses.

Everybody's hand is caught in the cookie jar and there's nowhere left for the risk to go; the Federal Government holds all of it. We are in the early stage of hyperinflation, they just passed another $1.5T piece of legislation two weeks ago. Just wait until they forgive student debt and put forth more spending for the war in Ukraine. There's literally nowhere left to hide. The average Americans will NOT be able to survive another year of inflation like we saw in 2021. This is unfortunately the end-game. Put your money in crypto, bullion ETF's like Sprott, or real-estate. The USD is gonna go bye-bye.

Plus, they want to book you with 70-80 hours a week and almsot no vacation. I left Anheuser Busch (CDL) after a year of working those longer hours. Cutting my vacation was the last straw and it only paid 0.9% raises each year. People need to understand that the USD is going to hell. Wages haven't kept up with inflation for 40 years and NOW the value of the dollar is truly scary. Soon, most middle class people won't even be able to afford their bills on after tax income

  277. We can win every battle against the authoritarian left, yet we still lose the war in every instance. The media is compromised, the Universities are compromised, the corporations are compromised, and our elections are compromised. We have no other recourse but to sink this ship. Considering that the Treasury is still using "extraordinary measures" to maintain the budget, that will only be able to push us through to December 3rd. This is the best time to make such a thing happen. The Federal government is the only thing keeping this economy alive right now. It would be a shame to let it recover and lose such leverage. If PPP loans, corporate welfare, and unemployment checks were to go dark in the midst of a Government shutdown come December; we could indeed be looking at an economic collapse. The Great Resignation began some 8 months ago and I implore anyone who's not in the loop to jump on board as soon as possible. We need to strain this Government and the corporations as much as possible. Jump on any benefits you can and stop buying from corporations. If this Government pulls the economy through 2022, we may never again get a better chance than in the middle of this Covid hysteria. If they get their way, they will unleash a regression never before seen in this country and our children will pay the price.

This country has been infiltrated by people that would see it reduced to serfdom, all for a few giggles and a big paycheck. The complacency of the average American will be the downfall of this once great nation. When TikTok algorithms in China are incentivizing engineering and mathematical accomplishments, while they give the incentive for twerking and stupidity in the US. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to discover that it's been designed that way to damage the mental health of the general public.

We are a failing state because the average person is participating in the cultivation of pathological behavior. We are an absolutely addicted society: addicted to oxycodone, caffeine, hf corn syrup, and the worst of all social media. If you think that you aren't being manipulated on your Facebook and Twitter; think again. Those behaviors may be digital, but they manifest themselves in the real world.

Everybody always blames the politicians, but eventually it becomes very clear that they are hardly the problem. It's quite simply the way America is going. Down the drain in a blaze of envy, greed, and narcissism. I fear this country will look a combination of South Africa and Maoist China in the next decade.

  309.  @astrokiddd11  If I may ask, what makes you say the economy is ok? 39% inflation (CPI) and 10% wage boosts on average. Plus, it's nearly impossible to find or switch jobs right now. I just don't understand. I see a lot of retired people talking about a good economy, but not working class.

  310. Unfortunately most people; Russian or American have no idea how complicated this power play between Russia and NATO is. Within to he next five years, I guarantee you that the US will lose Reserve Currency status and the Eastern alliance will rise to the occasion. People have no idea what is coming. NATO provoked this entire fiasco by importing weapons and missile systems into Ukraine, on top of the coup the Obama Administration orchestrated. The USD is failing and NATO is going to reinforce it against countries that have dropped out. Russia's invasion is just an overzealous reaction to the chess game NATO is playing.

  319. I agree with loan forgiveness, with the exception that they end the Federal loan program forever. Oh, but they won't do that. Too profitable and too much power through Universities. Americans with student loans have been on forbearance for two years at this point. The moment the government re-starts the interest accumulation and payment deadlines, this economy will crash entirely. There's no way out; only through a crash of the USD.

  320. Unfortunately, it was too late even before Trump. A dollar collapse is inevitable; though Covid spending definitely pushed us about 5 years forward on inflationary terms. We have some $160 Trillion in unfunded liabilities. It's only a matter of time before foreign nations complete remove themselves from the USD. We can only buy our own bonds for so long before hyperinflation sets in. Our adversaries will change the reserve currency and Americans will be left holding the bag.

In order to save face, they will demonize Russia to maintain the lie that they infiltrated our election process in 2016. Also, to take any heat off their colleagues in China. This is quite simply a disinformation campaign so that people ignore the dealings this Administration has in China to undermine the US.

Many of these people (after receiving a green-card) will be happy to receive even 1/10th of the pay that a typical wage worker would be willing to receive. That's the real agenda that nobody is talking about. They are trying to reduce this countries bottom line to absolute 0. How can Americans compete in a labor market if any incoming immigrants will accept peanuts in comparison to current wages?

Rampant greed, envy, contempt, and nihilism across the board. I mean, vehicular deaths are up 10.5% in just the last year.

I don't drink public water. But if there isn't than it has to be mass complacency. People have it too good and aren't prepared to fight for it because they're accustomed to everything working 24/7. Give government an inch, they will take a mile. "Two weeks to slow the spread" turned into, "Two jabs to keep your Civil Rights." What's next: "Two arrests to send you and your wife off to a concentration camp?" If anybody has not read "The Gulag Archipelago", then they need to ASAP. The parallels between the beginning of the regression in the Soviet Union and the US is identical.

That they would rather be with their kids and do their own business rather than slave away at a corporate job, whose wages don't keep up with inflation and has no time off. Personally, I think the entire system needs to crash. We're being farmed by Pharmaceutical companies and corporations.

  349. I think Democrats are arrogantly expecting the 18-40 demographics to save them. However, let's be real here. Love or hate Donald Trump, anybody that has to work for a living has not enjoyed the last 4 years. Anybody that's recently graduated from college KNOWs that the economy is in shambles and getting a job is almost impossible. Switching jobs seems harder than it ever has. I think they are going to be very surprised when they find out that young people are going to largely switch their positions because it's near impossible to afford life like they used to.

If he withdrawals completely with no endorsement. Then his vision and all the work that his campaign did will die. I think he saw this as the best option to save his vision. I'm hoping Trump will make these his front end goals, but I doubt it in the long term. Trump has a bad reputation for screwing everybody lol Maybe RFK being in an administrative position will hoist up his support for another run.

Of course, there would be stipulations to refuse mentally ill and otherwise handicapped people that cannot participate perhaps. A system of "elections" (in my opinion) only incentivizes narcissistic ego-maniacs running for office and taking over. At least a high disproportion of them are. If the representation was (random), then you'd end up with a much higher proportion of average working class people. Then again, I don't think anyone would approve that.

  363. So people should be thrown in prison if they oppose the regime? If you're historically educated whatsoever, you'd know that you are next. The second thing that Stalin and his NKVD did after executing or hauling off their political enemies to Siberia, was round up the University socialists. Seeing as they were fake protestors and liars of their bourgeoise heritage. Once you create the monster, it will consume everyone and everything.

  379.  @lovemyalaskaful  Revisionist history my friend! I find it hilarious that people experienced this protocols first hand and then swapped their brains for the media narrative 2 months later. Trump was the first one trying to shut down immigration and flights from China. It was the CDC that continuously counter-attacked his position in the White House and media. The CDC publicly posted on social media outlets for weeks that (Covid was of no great danger to the US) and that (no flight ban was needed). They continued to persecute Trump's judgement until March/April when Fauci reversed his position. Then claimed that it was all Trump's fault for not shutting down flights and stopping travel.

  381. Doesn't matter how motivated you are to get into a new job field. No job is paying a salary or hourly rate that keeps up with inflation; not a single one. We've finally reached the threshold where the USD that has tumbled for 40 years is finally catching up to everyone's standard of living. Once even middle class people aren't about to pay their mortgages, rent, or utility with their wages; it's game over.

  382. "Little advantage?" Mail-in ballots aid Democrats by a 3:2 margin (best odds). Requests for mail-in ballots are DOWN -27% compared to 2020.

If these polls are claiming EVEN; I think you're going to see a lot of odd states flip red and surprise Democrats. A lot of Democrats have flocked to Trump after the removal of Biden and corruption against the state of New Hampshire when the DNC tried to overthrow their state law for the primary. Not to mention you have Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard endorsing him. Even if it pulled 20% of Democrat fans; it would be roughly 3-5 million voters. DNC has been extremely dirty with litigation and defamation lawsuits. Even suing Kennedy to be removed (then stay ON the ballot) in Michigan. People are tired of the corruption.

Does this have anything to do with the US-funded bio labs in Western Ukraine? This subject absolutely terrifies me, because we KNOW what these criminals are willing to do in order to maintain power.

Is it racist to acknowledge that Asian people (on average) have an entire standard deviation higher of an intelligence than the rest of the planet? Is it racist to acknowledge that American Natives evolved (secluded) from the rest of the world for at least 10,000 years before discovery? To these people, any difference between people is labeled as dog-whistling baseless racism. It is an ideology of destruction... Marxism is so desperately trying to marry itself to equality of outcome with gender and race. It is the most dehumanizing ideology that has ever been invented in human history.

  416.  @ScoutJordan-i5z  So you rely on fact-checkers, but you have no caution as to who is holding those fact checkers accountable. People that want 'fact checkers' are people that want their ideology pushed. I hope you're older than myself at 30, because I've read enough about 20th century history to know the government and institutions can NEVER be trusted to tell the truth. Why would you trust them to do that?

  417.  @drghostpepper1  Would you debate someone again if their moderators were used against you and didn't hold the other candidate accountable? Let me guess, we need 'fact checkers' because they always tell the truth?

  418. I'm convinced of two things. 1. Jill Biden has been running the country for four years - "You answers all the questions Joe!" 2. Joe Biden voted for Donald Trump.

  419. I've voted Republican most of my life. There is no way Trump is going to win this election; Republicans are not doing the math on this one. Voter turnout for registered Republicans has been in the dumpster for Mid-terms and the 2023 General Elections. The GOP cannot lose a single state in the Presidential election, but must win THREE or FIVE: Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Considering how bad Republicans got beat in the Ohio 2023 General Election. I have a hard time seeing how Republicans have the advantage. Not to mention that many die hard Trump supporters are now gone and 4 Million new young voters are entering the environment. Turnout in Iowa was also considerably down compared to previous caucuses. The Democrats have always maintained TWO leverages; lockstep voting and routine voting. Republicans are notorious for 'splinter voting'. With an Independent on the official ballot for 2024, you will see a large swathe of Republicans go independent like many did with Ross Perot. Democrats will either vote for Biden or the (primary switch candidate) that many are anticipating. There's no way Trump can win this. Republicans in large are completely exhausted from the last 8 years of his limelight. The fact that he got 51% of the caucus vote shows how divided the GOP actually is. Exit polls in Iowa heavily suggest that Nikki Haley voters would rather vote for Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

  420. Jesus people are dumb. Questioning the motives of leaders is NOT the same as being complicit with the enemy. Americans have truly lost their critical thinking skills.

  421. It's already here. We were warned almost a decade ago that the early stages of a tyrannical regime were approaching. It greatly mirrored the early days of the Soviet Union in the 1920s. Of course, we never pay attention to conspiracy theorists until it's too late.

  422. This woman can't debate for nothing. She sounds like a puppet to the core. She stands behind Biden fully, but her Administration will NOT be a continuation of his policies? What?

  423. We don't need to be humoring transgenderism, we need to be helping these people. Pretending that it's ok and we should incorporate it into greater society is nothing short of cowardly virtue signalling. People of a transgender nature (statically) come from a large suicidal demographic - 42% attempted, typically paired with PTSD and childhood trauma from one or more parents. Of course nobody ever wants to talk about that. Critics will say that those conditions are due to their oppression, but I could throw it right back by saying other minority groups have the lowest levels of suicide. So what's the connection?

  429. I think I understand her sentiment, though I don't exactly agree. People need to understand that these kinds of crimes are absolutely rampant. We have tens of millions of predators in the US alone. I don't think chopping off the heads of millions of men is going to solve the problem. We have a major mental health crisis on all fronts. I suspect that pornography and online addictions play a major role. Finding a solution to stop creating predators seems more conducive imo.

  430. From the combat footage I've seen, Ukraine obviously has the better fighters. BIT, as usual Russia has the numbers.

  431. Better than getting 50% inflation all over again as a result from the Trump Admin. Remember, Trump appointed Jerome Powell and he pressured them to go negative with interest rates. If he had, we would have had significantly worse inflation.
    1
  432. I won't vote for a man that appointed Jerome Powell and drove inflation out of the ball park. Trump is about 80% responsible for all the inflation we've seen. He had the FED cut the rates in 2019 just to pump his re-election with the markets in 2020. We should have NEVER cut the rates to 0% in 2020; it caused massive inflation under his Administration.

  435. Yeah, as someone who works in trades; that's a bunch of BS. I left because they cut my vacation hours in half and tried working for 70-80 hours a week. The wage raises they promise are absolute garbage. If you passed somehow passed HS with only pre-algebra you could discover that the raises don't even outperform a traditional 2.1% inflation rate. My job offered 0.9% of inflation; what a circus. Plus, explain to me how 6 figures means anything anymore with 50% inflation since January 2020? Yeah, check the USD Monetary supply numbers; numbers don't lie. Anymore, you need to make $100k per year in order to call yourself (center) middle class.

  436. Sounds to me like a government heist; as per the usual. What happened in Iraq? We claimed they had WMD's and we sanctioned them! What did politicians do: Invest all their lobbyist cash in weapon companies and crude oil. What happened in Afghanistan? Were we stealing opium to funding big pharma's lust for American blood? The opioid crisis very coincidently begins when we invaded Afghanistan and ends right before we leave. What happened in Ukraine? We sanctioned Russia via precious metals, food, and oil. Where do you think the political elite are putting their investments this time?

  437. He'll walk; I guarantee it. If they can't find the weapon and he says nothing; he'll walk. You can't convict someone on drawings and behavior. Plus, even IF they have evidence. You need 12 jurors to convict; I highly doubt this will happen. This will OJ all over again (corporate version).

  438. $21/h is about minimum wage (if you are price indexing for inflation) - real wage pricing that it. You need at least $20/h in the Mid-west in order to afford rent and a car payment these days. FedEx alone pays $18.25/h for base workers during day-shift. I'm not knocking your son. I'm simply eluding to the reality that $21 is what $15 would get you back in 2019

  439.  @MrManny075  Protection from the state and corporations my friend. Say the wrong this and the media will send a mob to your house. Become popular and say the wrong thing, the Feds will find a reason to bust down your door at 2am for a jay-walking charge.

  440. The algorithm targets specific phrases and words; not exactly what you said. I don't think it can detect the level of 'dissidence' against the government you are espousing. Now, if you said "bl@ck l1ves m@tter is a cr!minal organization" then it might 'ding' you.

  441. This administration is filled with nothing but criminals trying to start a war and completely undermine this country. Elections have consequences. Orange-man may say mean things, but Joe Hiden does mean things. Mainly to the American people.

  442. People love to blame those on charge, but Stalin never became a ruler by climbing a mountain and shouting it to the world. A civilization rots from the ground up. It rots when enough individuals make pathological decisions. We have nobody but ourselves to blame.

  443.  @TheFreeMan84  lol that's a preposterous claim. Liberals create all the companies and inventions. Conservatives manage them. These are very necessary personality traits for a functioning society. You are probably thinking of Marxists and people that leech the system dry.

  444. It amazes me how ordinary people (in the minority) but nonetheless are cheering for Biden's mandate. These are the same people that think the Nazis and Soviets were psychopaths and no normal person could do what they did. Get ready, because they're about to cheer for your arrest and train ticket to a concentration camp. It's already begun in Australia believe it or not.

  445. Kind of hard to do when an 18 year old can pull his phone out and invest in a Chinese stock in 5 seconds. I don't have the answers, but this (tech) world we're living in will truly test the idealism of sovereignty.

  446. Can we please stop perpetuating this misinformation please? We are NOT about the run out of diesel at the end of November. The strategic reserve is low and the supply continue to decrease. BUT we are not going to (literally) run out of diesel. You will see price hikes by December of course, but stop saying that we are going to run-out please.

  447. A society of unmarried women and rogue 20-35 years old men is a recipe for disaster. Single women with no values tend to gravitate towards narcissism and exploitation. Single men with no values tend to gravitate towards destruction and violence to amuse themselves. Growing up, we were always pushed to do sports or excel in school; both if you could. Our coach was correct, the kids that neither excelled in school or participated in sports/clubs turned out to largely pursue a criminal career.

  448. Bud, they are globalists. In all reality, everybody is. There are two types though: globalists that don't believe in individual sovereignty and globalists that believe in global trade. Both of which are killing the worth of the US Dollar. Don't be surprised that an 'elected leader' is going to put his faith in a foreign deal that enriches himself and his allies at the expense of people that buy into his shenanigans. It's literally what they believe in doing, they don't think they're evil.

  454. It's not just the Democrats, it's literally everyone. The temptation for avarice and greed is irresistible at this point. Data mining and national security breaches of the United States have been the most profitable business this last decade.

  455. You need to slow down and use more logic. You're going from one assumption to another. It leads you to make irrational assumptions and radical conclusions. Kennedy has been in contact with both campaigns to see what he can offer their platforms. Harris turned down all calls and meetings with him because they 'have nothing in common' is what the report says. Overthrow the constitution? This assumption means what in particular? Perhaps you should research each topic you're mentioning and be objective. There is nothing intellectually honest about studying history, past, or present from a point of view that perverts the intentions or mischaracterizes actions/events.

  456. Republicans are not doing the math on this one. The GOP polls are being pumped with devout MAGA voters. A very large swathe of Republicans are exhausted from the last 9 years of Trump. If Trump is going to MOP the floor; then how do you explain the Democrats coming out in storm for Ohio in 2023? Republicans were nowhere to be seen at the ballot box.

  457. You're describing a bull market period that happened while Trump was in office; through no action of himself. Don't vote for Trump because you happened to be living in good times while he was President; it's a false correlation. We are living in tough times because the FED is obligated to raise interest rates to quell the inflation caused by Trump and his appointee Jerome Powell.
