re: Why do we go to war with countries and then import all the people from said countries?
Posted by Big Wes on 10/30/25 at 2:48 pm to burger bearcat
It is a feature, not a glitch.
Haitians in Florida
Somalis in Minnesota
Puerto Ricans in NY
Afgans in that small town in Ohio
Pakistanis in the Roosevelt, after the Roosevelt was sold to a Pakistani national, then our US Government was then paying full room price per person, putting 4 to a room @$700 per night each. Fully booked.
War, famine, storm.
It is on one hand a skim (greed) and on the other a hand a long term power move (political)

Absolutely not.
Great Britain wanted to Balkanize the US, to keep us under their thumb.
The years after the war were some of the most prosperous and free of any human civilization.
Maybe not for indigenous peoples.

They laundered our tax dollars into the media to call us crazy. They pay people on this board to divide us and distract us.
Defunding usaid has caused an unemployment problems in Switzerland.
We have had a wet blanket thrown over us and we thought it was normal.
It is not.

I am over over my yearly post count, but this is what winning feels like.
The future is here. And it is the future that the 1980's wanted us to have.
Enjoy.

They shot him and neutered his presidency by keeping him on pain pills.
No. This time is different.
If you are going to sell here and just sit in treasuries, you will be taxed. If you don’t invest in the U.S.. You will get 90 cents or 95 cents in the dollars.
Make a deal. Even dollars. 100%.
They are going to supercharge investment inside the US.
Reshoreing is a thing. We must go all in. Cheap energy, American ingenuity.

My Daughter almost got kicked out of LSU because a woke resident in charge got her for 3 mask violations.
She actually had to go in front of a tribunal. I had to appeal the decision to keep her from getting kicked out. These people were evil.
They caught a person with Heroin in her dorm and another burned down his dorm room from a marijuana and they did not face what she did.
Insanity.

re: The disappointment of the failed tariff disaster
Posted by Big Wes on 5/8/25 at 8:32 am to Wildcat1996
All this tariff uproar is from the international corporations, voiced through their owned media and paid politicians. The tariff is a threat to their MARGINS, not a threat to China.
Someone posted a concern story last week where a business offered their product with a "made in America" option that cost more than twice as much as their China made. They reported that no one chose the higher priced item.
Lost in the trolling was a sentence in the article where the company said they priced the American made piece in such a way as to "maintain their margins."
I am certain small business will be hurt by these tariffs, I am also certain the big losers will be the international corporations as the tariff reduces their arbitrage of currency manipulation, regulatory creep, oppressed labor, Ip theft, inconsistent quality, and lack of pollution controls. That tariff captures that and sends it to the treasury.
The reality is that if a product can be made here and sold profitably for $50. And it can be made in China and sold profitably for $20. That product will sell for $45.99, not $20. So who does that tariff really hurt?
Concern away.

The system was under attack even before Trump set fire to it. The return of geopolitics is not conducive to a world in which all the cars are made in Germany, and all the smartphones in China. Trump is not the only leader who wants to reshore industries. Joe Biden started this with his Inflation Reduction Act. Emmanuel Macron has similar plans.

This quote right here tells me this commenter is full of it. "The Inflation Reductions Act" was nothing but a sop to big business and funneling our tax dollars to the "right" people.
The stock market is not the economy.

RogerTheShrubber.. I am sorry that happened but you could have moved those funds out of stocks and into a treasury fund if you knew you were going to need them. The hardest part is leaving the casino when you are up.

Well gooolly, Burt. America is not the stock market. And money in the stock market ain't' cash. But you know that. The financialization of our economy to serve the Wall Street Gods was gong to end.
Go listen to what Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant actually says. Find his interviews from 2 years ago. It ain't rocket science to end the grift.

Despite all the ranting of the learned Economists and paid concern trolls on this board. Maybe this Administration knows what they are doing.
The system, as it was, was broken. Our government is captured by the Bureaucratic State, taxing us to further capture us. Our trade policies are captured by our foreign adversaries and International Corporations.
The only benefit the moderately wealthy person received was a nice big number in their 401k. So take your 401k hit now. Lower long term rates now. Now you can refinance the huge debt load that Mushroom Head, Janet Yellen, held in 2 year notes when long term rates for 2%.
It had to change or it ultimately would have further gutted of our national wealth. The goal is to decouple the U.S. from the globalists. Financially and Morally. Liberation Day.

Data Republican nails Eisen
Posted by Big Wes on 2/28/25 at 10:12 am
Data Republican gets a skin on the wall: Eisen
This is important. It is going to take time to peel the layers back. Eisen uses lawfare, Data Republican finds where he gets $17MM from USAID to create a Muppet show.
Judge blocks Trump firings, Judges gets impeached in house.. he may not actually be convicted, but the House gets to subpoena all records of the judge, including where the wife may have received $10MM from USAID. All this will come to light in a legal way.
For those instant gratification trolls, what were you worried about 2 years ago? did you imaging Trump would be President today?

re: Another judge having articles of impeachment filed?
Posted by Big Wes on 2/12/25 at 2:39 pm to lake chuck fan
While they would never get the votes to impeach..
They get to subpoena all the communications that led up to the filings.
That could be fun to debate on the congress floor.
