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'

    • Date: 17th March 2025.   A Key Week For Central Bank: Bank Of Japan and JPY In Focus!   The market finds itself in a week full of central bank decisions which is likely to create plenty of volatility. This includes the Federal Reserve, Bank of Japan, Bank of England and the Swiss National Bank. Analysts expect all central banks to keep their interest rates unchanged except for the Swiss National Bank. Of the related currencies the best performing in 2025 so far remains the Japanese Yen. CHFJPY - Can This Week’s Events Shift Momentum Back in Favor of the JPY? The Japanese Yen has been the best performing currency of 2025 due to higher inflation, national salary increases and historic interest rate hikes. However, the currency has come under pressure from economic data weaker than previous expectations. On Monday 17th, the JPY continued to struggle. Nonetheless, most economists believe the trend remains intact and the price of the JPY remains higher than the average price of 2025 so far.     A Reuters poll of top economists suggests core inflation may ease as government energy subsidies resume. However, the overall upward trend is expected to persist, allowing the Bank of Japan to maintain its tightening stance. Preliminary estimates indicate the core consumer price index will rise by 2.9%, down from 3.2%. Even with an inflation rate of 2.9%, the central bank will have the space to manoeuvre. The Japanese Yen's bullish trend has paused for now. However, buyers are awaiting comments from the Bank of Japan Governor that could reignite momentum. Japanese government bond yields show mixed signals as the Bank of Japan gears up for its next key monetary policy decision amid global uncertainties. If the BoJ continues to signal further rate hikes for the upcoming months, the JPY is likely to rise further. Swiss National Bank This morning the Swiss Franc is witnessing neither positive nor negative price movement. Most economists believe the Swiss National Bank will take another decision to cut interest rates even though there is little room left for maneuver. Most economists believe the SNB will cut 0.25% with few individuals opting for a 50 basis point cut to 0.00%. Switzerland aims to cut rates further due to low inflation, which is nearly 0.00%. According to economists, if prices do not pick up, the country may be at risk of deflation. In addition to this, Switzerland’s Gross Domestic Product growth rate has fallen to 0.2%, the lowest since 2023. If the SNB cuts more than 0.25% or indicates that the policy rate will fall to 0.00%, the CHFJPY potentially can continue to fall. For the CHFJPY, the two central bank decisions will be the key price drivers as neither economy is due to release any major economic data. Trump and President Putin's scheduled phone call tomorrow could drive market volatility, particularly impacting the safe-haven Swiss Franc and Japanese Yen. Key Takeaway Points: Key rate decisions from the Fed, BoJ, BoE, and SNB are expected, with analysts predicting no changes except for a likely rate cut from the Swiss National Bank. The Japanese Yen has led currency performance in 2025 but is facing pressure from weaker economic data. However, analysts expect the trend to remain intact. The SNB is expected to cut rates by 0.25% due to low inflation and slow GDP growth, which could weaken the CHF further. The BoJ’s rate outlook and a scheduled Trump-Putin phone call could increase volatility, especially for safe-haven currencies. Always trade with strict risk management.
