re: The debate.  Imo, both lost

Trump:  nothing new = “old”.  His Worst fail - Didn’t really freshly elucidate policies

Harris: Didn’t run far away from Biden and certainly didn’t run far enough from her herself and her own past ... ie now ‘running’ as a moderate as a moderate (and being ‘painted’ by the media as a moderate) when she has always been the opposite of a moderate before... big lies are easier than little lies, etc, etc.  Hm ... more of the   "We got 70 days to act right, y'all. Now, after 70 days, we can go back to acting crazy, right?" Rev. Mark Thompson on Day 3 of the DNC in Chicago.  Her Worst fail - Didn’t really reveal any policies...

In a way, the debate was 3 against 1... Examples:  Trump was ‘fact’ checked 5 times.  Harris was ‘fact’ checked 0 times - while she told at least 7 little stinkers of her own that also should have been ‘fact’ checked... not to mention the big lies about what she want’s for / to do to the ‘republic’, the constitution / bill of rights.  ...such as - just bcse she has a gun does not mean she wants you to have one... etc, etc. 

Anyways, they all 4 delivered their lines and ALL of us lost.  ... just sayin’

One more thing re: the debate - no one mentioned the national 'debt', / the printing of  fake money that literally IS the massive inflation?

No one mentioned the 100 nations planning to 'join' the BRICS starting in 2025... and boy are they ever in for a shock...

ALL of us lost in that debate, americans, europeans, indians, middle easterners, mexicans, asians, australians, etc etc .  ... just sayin’

The income tax saga is even a better example than this but is too long and complicated so...

 

 Things every US citizen should know and remember about Social Security

 

Short History Lesson on Your Social Security Card . . . Just in case some of you didn't know this... and it doesn't matter whether you are ‘progressive or ‘conservative . . . If you don't believe, Facts are Facts ... it's easy to check out...

Franklin Roosevelt, a progressive Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program.

He promised:
1.) That participation in the Program would be Completely voluntary.
No longer Voluntary

2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program.
Now 7.65% on the first $90,000.

3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year.
No longer tax deductible

4.) That the money the participants put into the independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program.
Under Democrat President Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and Spent.

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.
Under Democrats Clinton & Gore Up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed.

Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes.   Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION, was removed.

Actually, Democrat President Kennedy and Sergeant Shriver were the first ones to misuse the Social Security account.  They used Social Security funds to start the Peace Corps.   Not the first or last time our money has been taken from American citizens and given to foreign governments.

Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we were taxed and paid to the Federal government to 'put away' -- you may be interested in the following:

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democrat Party.

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A:  Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.   Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments!   The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!

Q: Which Political P arty expanded the scope of the Social Security retirement program to include 'disablities'

A:Who fkn cares... Point is that should be an entirely different program... distinct from 'retirement'  program

Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!  Old Soviet / Saul Alinsky trick - accuse the other side of what you are perpetrating...

As I shouted 4 years ago folks, the cheat is on.  The easiest states are those like PA where you can mail in as many votes as you need to win ... postmarked even after election day.

All the media has to do is repeat over and over again is how close it is...

The only thing Karmela has made her positions clear on and really stood up for this whole dam campaign is abortion ‘rights’.   A lot of ‘liberal’ women don’t understand how men can have ANY say in the matter.   “It’s my body” etc etc.  Well, men start to get a say when the interests of the unborn male or female person are completely fkn disregarded - that’s when.  I don’t quite know what it’s like to go through utero process in an unloved, or maybe worse, an ambivalent ‘field’, but speaking as a human, adoption seems to be preferable to a saline abortion or a knitting needles abortion or a drug that starves the fetus to death abortion or a plain old standard black clinical abortion.  Karmela has definitely not made friends with unborn babies... Tim Tampon Walz also hasn’t made friends with unborn babies.  Instead he literally said “I’ve made friends with school shooters”.  Folks on some levels it’s ok to be a school shooter if it’s ok to be an abortion doctor... both performing the same task... both ending lives.  Absurd?  Yes.  But no more absurd than the devaluation of life shit ‘social engineering’ is attempting to normalize... just sayin’

Nothing wrong with being a ‘progressive’. Nothing wrong with being a ‘conservative’. 

Very generally, ‘conservatives’ have preponderance of the here and now neurotransmitters, prefer empirical references, the rule of law, and value individual agency (It has been said that conservatives love humans and progressives love humanity) .

Very generally, ‘progressives’ are dopaginaric - driven by passion for a better possible future, prefer references to others  (Example Karmela won’t answer questions with facts.  She cites the opinion of 18 ‘experts’), have a penchant for rule by man/mobs not by law , and value ‘societal' agency. 

However, excesses of either tendency indicates mental illness, collective malaise, and has consequences.  When either camp is systematically captured by control seekers and/or, situationally by mobs, the whole is lessened. A key sign that is occurring is when one side no longer allows disagreement.  Progressives have  currently gone crazy in those excesses and are no longer allowing anything but unithought... examples -

You can still be a vocal pro choice republican.  Try being a vocal pro life democrat. For snicks just try it.  You’ll get cancelled. 

Bust a myth about blacks in America, true up the real  history of Republicans ending slavery and what has happened since, how the democrats are the party of the KKK, how Obama did not a fkn thang for blacks in general, be a black republican, etc.    You will get canceled in a heartbeat.

Step up and question the social agendas of federally subsidized schools at a board meeting... get treated like shit and also get an immediate case number with the FBI ...

Question the requirements to watch and lickkiss the 'rainbows' and also make sure your kids show up for it, not to mention fund transitions out of your pocket and see what you get ‘labeled’

Question mainstream media bias - even just to mention that biased, agenda driven narrative is different from truth in reporting - and see what happens to your voice...

Excesses have consequences... imbalances have consequences... just sayin’

re TikTok

Recently metafakebook made what was apparently a move to stay aligned with ‘culture’ - no more fact ‘checking’, no more censorhip... basically ‘Zucker’ was shown that his mission was failing because they were only building profiles on ‘useful idiots’ instead of those who oppose the great centralization  (... just like long ago he only saw campus potential and had to be shown the promise and rewarded for fronting the great spyware and social engineering project called Fakebook)... ie they could have replaced him long ago

In the same vein, who holds ‘title’ to tiktok doesn’t matter either... it will remain a spyware project regardless of who ‘buys’ it... and the data will forever be available to the CCP

Just sayin’

“re” means over and over.  Contrary to what you have been / are being taught - here is something that needs to be repeated millions of times.

FDR / newDeal made things worse!  Today, “woke services” are making things worse!

The democratic party is now purposefully controlled by an extremely radical 10% of the membership... So ... “follow the money” -  above the surface you’ll find all the distorted screamers  and ‘woke’ corporate fascists ,  near the surface disturbed technocratic ‘billionaires’,  and in the depths you’ll find  the CCP ... which is voraciously buying as many politicians as possible... 

Gave In Newsom is prime example... he will now temporarily move to the center or wherever the CCP tells him to move, but make no mistake he’s itching to resume his failed extreme policies.. more and more governmental capture of capital, etc etc - all of which serve nothing but damage to an aging republic...  just sayin'

“The democratic party is now purposefully controlled by an extremely radical 10% of the membership... “  That leaves most traditional democratic and millions of independent voters unrepresented.  Will they recognize that and do something about it?  We’ll see ...

///

Big picture Fiscal situation:   ‘they’ got about 8 weeks max to turn the ship ... pass ‘radical’ bills, etc. etc etc  ... or Trump’s 2nd term is wrecked... a waste... a stupid interruption on the way to the end of the road ... when and where the can can no longer be kicked... nothing has happened for decades and decades and decades, now ‘decades’ need to happen in a few weeks... odds are low...

And as far as the US economy goes ... ‘forget’ the media over and over narratives about (actually exploitive, btw)  labor supply issues - Use our energy advantage to move productivity here.  Trump needs to continue to aggressively MOVE capital OUT of the gov’t. ... needs to hasten the transition out of the ‘biden’ economy.   Stop the trivial tweaking the economy with threats and retreats.  Don’t worry or blabber about consumer sentiment and activity... it’s about time for a fkn return to good consumer practices at the individual and family levels anyways...Don’t fall for the deflation bs either...

Re: Trade and Tariffs.  Fkn drop this  fentanyl boolsht... focus on reciprocity... bust the inequities. re “free trade” vs “fair trade”, Friedman wasn’t considering having to  deal with the likes of the CCP, etc.  Contrary to the narratives other 'cultures' have beat into their own heads and the narratives they are trying to beat into us, the US was not built on their countries’ backs.  The US economy emerged on its own.  A more accurate narrative accentuates that they were all built/rebuilt with our help... mostly after globalist kinetic, ideological ( and trade) wars.   Examples are Germany, France, etc. Japan, Korea, smaller SE Asian countries, etc. and then, via some MONSTER lies, China during the 80’s, 90’s, 00,s... Russia is the prime example of a country too stubborn to accept a 'rebuild'... . Anyways, fk this “we don’t want a trade war” narrative ! We’re already in a trade war and have been in one for decades now.  All those countries and mouthpieces who are hypocritically whining have been charging more tariffs than we have for fkn decades.  Going forward - If other countries’ gov’ts subsidize and engage in theft, make them pay.

... just sayin’

    • In Italy, I saw many of our brothers from different parts of Africa, sleeping and living in the park, the weather was very cold and its obvious that they were looked down upon. It made me want to cry and several questions overwhelmed my heart.   Is it not better to remain in Africa than to be homeless in this freezing cold weather?   I wish I have all the money in the world to rescue them...   Is this the reason why our skin color is looked down upon?   Do our government officials see this sight when they also travel outside of the country...does it hurt them or pain them like it pained me?

    • Date: 28th March 2025.   Market Selloff Deepens as Tariff Concerns Weigh on Investors     Global stock markets extended their losing streak for a third day as concerns over looming US tariffs and an escalating trade war dampened investor sentiment. The flight to safety saw gold prices surge to a record high, underscoring growing risk aversion. Stock Selloff Intensifies The MSCI World Index recorded its longest losing streak in a month, while Asian equities saw their sharpest decline since late February. US and European stock futures also signalled potential weakness, while cryptocurrency markets retreated and bond yields edged lower. Investors are scaling back their exposure ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected announcement of ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on April 2. His latest move to impose a 25% levy on all foreign-made automobiles has sparked fresh concerns over inflation and economic growth, prompting traders to reassess their strategies. Investor Strategies Shift Market experts are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of heightened volatility. ‘It’s impossible to predict Trump’s next move,’ said Xin-Yao Ng of Aberdeen Investments. ‘Our focus is on companies that are less vulnerable to tariff policies while taking advantage of market dips to find value opportunities.’ Yield Curve Signals Economic Concerns In the bond market, the spread between 30-year and 5-year US Treasury yields widened to its highest level since early 2022. Investors are bracing for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts if economic growth slows further. Long-term Treasury yields hit a one-month peak as inflation risks tied to tariffs spurred demand for higher-yielding assets. Boston Fed President Susan Collins noted that while tariffs may contribute to short-term price increases, their long-term effects remain uncertain. Gold Hits Record High as Safe-Haven Demand Rises Amid market turbulence, gold prices soared 0.7% on Friday, reaching an all-time high of $3,077.60 per ounce. Major banks have raised their price targets for the precious metal, with Goldman Sachs now forecasting gold to hit $3,300 per ounce by year-end. Looking Ahead As investors digest economic data showing US growth acceleration in Q4, attention will turn to Friday’s release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure. This data will be critical in shaping expectations for future Fed policy moves. With markets on edge and trade tensions escalating, investors will closely monitor upcoming developments, particularly Trump’s tariff announcement next week, which could further dictate market direction.   Always trade with strict risk management.
