This isn’t going away. Nor should it. It’s a microcosm of many much larger evils afflicting America all tied up into one. For that reason, it’s an opportunity for massive positive reform. Not just for the sake of justice, but also for the sake of the nation & its future inhabitants. For the sake of a sound foreign policy and to improve the probability of decent, honest representation. We let them squash it at our peril.

🇺🇸 The Stripper Index since 2016 and the stock chart of RCI Hospitality Holdings ($RICK), which owns strip clubs, restaurants, and bars. Both are plotted with the Nasdaq 100 ($NDX), where most bubbles this century are most easily seen. On the chart of the Stripper Index, orange is Google Trends in searches for “escort” in NYC, the pink is the average hourly price of an escort in the UK (£), the yellow is organic escort sign-ups, and the blue is the $NDX. The $RICK candlesticks are in log for better visibility, and the $NDX is not. Leading declines of $RICK shaded yellow, U.S. recessions shaded red, and the deflation of the Dotcom Bubble shaded gray. 📈 CHART WATCH 📈

Trump’s approval ratings may well have seen a bump, but it’s coming from the college educated, so we can safely presume it’s from the media praise after Iran. The important fact is that those people will not be shifting heavily Republican over this or whatever else. They will be voting against him in 2026. The people he desperately needs, the backbone of his new coalition—the young voter, the independent voter, the working class voter—none of these are impressed with the last few months, and many are repulsed. And rightfully so. The rigged polls will run the same playbook as 2020, when they cheered him on and assured him he was popular as he locked down the economy and handed the country over to Fauci & the military-pharmaceutical complex. The dwindling MAGA faithful (concentrated in the FNC Boomer class) share Quinnipiac polls they rightfully scorned nine months ago as they rebuke quality pollsters for disloyalty. Where do they think this ends? The House is probably already gone. The Senate will go too if they keep up at this rate. He’s getting a D+, and it’s not going to cut it. They’re not just risking impeachment now; they’re risking conviction. He’s risking George W. Bush 2006-08. And better yet, he’s gifted his enemies what they’ve always wanted and never had: a real scandal. If America First is wise, they’ll leave him for dead like he left them for dead, and get to work on (1) primarying most of Congress, (2) finding a leader for 2028, and (3) bracing for a globalist onslaught. That’s the position Dear Leader has put us in. The people he needs feel betrayed. The people who have shifted to him will betray them once he can no longer derail their agenda, once they no longer have a use for him. And the Deep State is in the driver’s seat. Who knows where we’re headed next? / NEWS FROM UNDERGROUND /

Quoi? You don’t say. We can pick off a lot of them with pressure campaigns just like this. They know this term won’t last forever. Make them wallow in their crimes. Make them listen to their lies ringing in their ears. Make them hear you whenever they want to speak in public. Never relent. I don’t know what happened, but I know he didn’t kill himself, and so do you. I know it should be the beginning of the end of the Israeli special relationship. But then that’s true of so many cases these past few decades… If you want your country back—if you want to put America first, don’t give this one up. / news from underground /
