So they indicted President Donald John Trump again, this time for giving a speech on the National Mall. J. Edgar Hoover is probably kicking himself for not thinking of arresting Martin Luther King after his “I Have A Dream” speech. Hoover once tried to blackmail King into committing suicide
Fitch is correct. The last 20 years have been a spending spree for the government.
And what have I always said:
The more the government does, the worse the problem gets. It doesn't matter what this government does. It is ALWAYS wrong and it ALWAYS fails, and like Joe Biden, it lies about everything it does. That's quite a record.
This president has but 14 months left to complete his assignment to fully “transform” this country into the Totalitarian vision the powers that be aspire to. There’s really only one thing left for him to do in order to wrest full control of the the threats his administration is facing, and put the final nail in this country’s coffin: to declare a National Climate Emergency.
Declaring such an emergency would grant him a vast array of supra-authoritative powers, which could dictate how we live every facet of our everyday lives, and how every industry in America must operate.
They’ve been talking about it for four years, and the UN has recently signaled the time is now.
Technically, I suppose that every president has available to him the excuse that he doesn't spend a dime unless congress approves it - and congress approves every expenditure the president wants - unless it's Trump's border wall, or before that, America's involvement in Vietnam at what later proved to be a most crucial juncture. If memory serves, The-Turd-in-the-Punch-Bowl didn't even bother to submit a budget as required by the constitution - Dingy Harry and The Lush agreed to let the Executive Branch spend freely, then approve it via a continuing resolution - it wasn't until the debt ceiling needed to be raised that he had to pay attention. When he finally DID submit a budget, it was a joke, and everyone knew it.
Reagan's argument for a line-item veto was never adequately or satisfactorily refuted. Almost every governor has that privilege, why not the president?
No, the answer is not more power in the Executive branch, but I'm not sure there is an alternative to a collapse of the entire US economy first, then the rest of the world.
Which only illustrates that the best designed systems of government are only as good as the character of the people entrusted to be stewards, custodians of said government.
Our constitutional republic endured for only 85 years before it was all but gutted by The Wrestler's declaration of war on the other half of the nation.
Since then, we've only been playing, 'constitutional republic' in the same way children play, 'house.' Only now, there WILL be a market-driven correction which will necessitate the collapse of the economy, and at that point, it won't matter what the ratings agencies say.
I say, let the sh*t sandwich be served, and if possible, let the Political Class and the rest of the elites have the first bites.
The cat, for some reason, is taking it easy on your subscribers, today. The correct option is the fourth one because make no mistake, that one is coming - if Wilhelm, Communist China's Delegate to the Executive Branch directs the Do"J" to do that, it will.
Don, since last night I have been anxiously awaiting your take on yesterday’s indictment. As usual, you did not disappoint!
The Greatest Generation kept our country from falling into the abyss of political correctness and fiscal mismanagement. Now, their Gen X grandchildren, Millennial great-grands, and Gen Z great-great-grands want it all, and they want it now. We were raised by the anti-establishment boomers, but the establishment against which they rolled was our Judeo-Christian foundation. “God is mean!” they cried, and stopped taking us to church and synagogue.
In removing the Ultimate Authority from all aspects of American life, they also removed that great future hope that kept us, for the most part, at least trying to live decent, respectable lives.
Look at us now! We are sheeple who will fall for literally anything because there is no belief in objective truth.
There is only one Savior, and his name is not Donald Trump. But without Donald Trump championing truth, justice , and the old-fashioned American way as our rightful President, that Savior looks to be readying for the final battle a lot sooner than many of us thought. He brings with Him Truth and Justice, and I for one am here for it!
Janet Yellen said: "Many of these measures, including those related to governance, have shown improvement over the course of this Administration, with the passage of bipartisan legislation to address the debt limit, invest in infrastructure, and make other investments in America’s competitiveness."
Governance is a measure of how well (honestly) the government is working. Our government is now applying the law differently for different groups, lying, and spending more than it makes. When I used to rate the governance of various African governments, I would have downgraded them on each one of those metrics. The same applies here -- Yellen is lying and our score on governance is lower than it has been in my 80 years.
"Passage of bipartisan legislation to address the debt limit" means "we convinced Republicans in Congress to let us spend more than we're taking in." That is NOT an improvement. And "investment in infrastructure" is just another way of saying "buy votes." Another minus on the governance scale.
Yellen (and Biden) is either a baldfaced liar or doesn't know what she's talking about. Probably both.
It’s a shame that WV has a pair of Senators who are “outraged” at Trump and Trump supporters over January 6th. It’s also telling they are totally silent about Ray Epps.
They too, are happy that their many years of cheerleading the swamp debt ceiling increases (along with the accompanying omnibus disaster after disaster) aren’t on the front page when the consequences are coming home to roost with the credit downgrades. They have played their part in the destruction of the greatest economy ever seen on this earth.
The ultimate political entity most firmly entrenched in building this disaster is the US Senate, and deep red states need to quit sending these swamp creatures to that forsaken town. January 6 and the mountain of lies and injustices perpetrated was all about trying to eliminate the loudest voice standing against their racketeering of the American treasury and the sellout to China and the WEF.
Yeah, Rome is burning. No One gives a shit. Our elected officials ran the hell out of DC for their "summer recess", perhaps we need to be the adults and vote all of these children out of their cushy positions. They are all 100% responsible for dumping jet fuel on a bipartisan dumpster fire! The dems are simply the lemmings following one and other of the cliff, illegal immigrants, fiscal unresponsibilty, the decimation of the middle class, all leads to a second class nation leaning to a third world shithole nation. I'm not comfortable that this total clown show is even worthy of being saved. I know when I was working I was not very concerned with politics trying to provide for my family, perhaps what we see now is me or all of us in that similar situation reaping what we have sown.
The new Standard is to be Poor.
The democrats (communists) want to destroy the middle class. They don’t care about our credit rating or the national debt.

You think the Covid mandates were bad?!
Buckle up.
Thank you all for your friendship and prayers. You are the first ones to know that Mary passed away very early today. Continue to pray for her family.

My Climate is fine, the USA’s fiscal climate is not. Which one is getting the most gloom and doom press?
The only numbers blowing up more than the debt are Trump’s poll numbers with each farcical indictment. I’m bullish on 1/20/2025.
Can we bring back debtor's prison and put politicians in it?

A friend of mine said, "All government does is ruin lives and steal money." Prove him wrong.
"WHOOPEE we’re all going broke."
Nope, not all of us. The governing elites are getting wealthy.

Yellen takes her orders from the Communist Chinese. She demonstrated that when she bowed to them numerous times recently.
When the country is run by a brain dead corpse and the treasury department by a bag lady getting a downgrade is inevitable.
