Very good trend. The state is not God. (Hegel was wrong). ♦️Neither is the absolute leader. (Hobbes was wrong) ♦️Or "the will of the majority" (Spinoza and Rousseau were wrong) ♦️Or the proletariat (Marx was wrong.) ♦️Or the race (Hitler was wrong.) ♦️Or "The Science™️" (Scientism was wrong). ♦️Or the zookeepers. (Eugenicists were wrong) ♦️Or technology, or AI (today's technocrats are wrong.) Man needs to run through every hoop first.

What’s the difference? Republicans censor, fight wars for other nations, run up spending and debt…and repeat whatever the president says, without question. What are we missing? Fictional genders? Wait your turn Democrats. You’ll be back in the rip-off seat at some point.

The elimination of the freedom of speech comes from both sides. The left's angle is "anti-science," "anti-vax"...etc. The right's angle is "anti-Israel" or "anti-semitism." We're ALL being squeezed by a vice...from both sides.

The government, that for the last 100 years has invaded the world, placing 750 bases all over the same world… Claims it has been “ripped off” by that world. Now it’s time to get tough with the world. Many (most?) Americans who were ripped off by their own government invading the world…think this is a reasonable conclusion. The problem must be the world.

“Putin wants to roll over Europe.” He doesn’t. “Iran is building a nuclear weapon.” They’re not. “China will take over the world.” No they won’t. Americans are blasted with propaganda to believe one (or all three of these.) And that’s why $1 Trillion PER YEAR goes to the military-industrial complex. The biggest gravy train on earth.

China uses their money and wealth to build their own country. Why can't America do the same? Why are we hearing about a $1 TRILLION military budget? China hasn't fought a war since Vietnam. Trump continues to drop bombs on areas that have nothing to do with us. I would much rather the U.S. government not take that $1 trillion from us... But if they're going to take it anyway, why not emulate China and improve our own nation?

We rag on the left for pushing those "boosters" simply because their great leader said so. But after seeing how obedient Trump's cheerleaders are... I'm confident they would do the same if Trump were the one pushing the "boosters." So it wasn't a leftist thing after all. It's a human thing. Both sides refuse to think or question anything.

No matter what happens, it's all part of Trump's plan. It's the flip-side of TDS, where everything is Trump's fault. Politics, made nice and easy.

People have seen countless videos. To the point where the U.S. tried to squash Tik-Tok. And the videos are still coming. Don't try to blame the natural revulsion to them.

Why did America’s Founders warn against entangling alliances and attachments to foreign nations? This is why 👇🏻

Trump has been resolute on tariffs and he has followed through. We better hope he's not resolute for yet another war for Israel.

I remember when Trump was campaigning, how great Elon Musk sounded. His explanations on shrinking the state were sound. I also remember that Trump did not particularly echo Elon on that front. Trump has always been a big spender/big debt guy. Not even Elon could change that.

- Saddam having WMD's. - Assad gassed his own people. - The "Domino Theory" - Putin will take over Europe. - Covid gain of function. - Covid "vaccines" that were not vaccines. - "social distancing" ... 6 ft. - There are 7,892 different genders - Israel is "our greatest ally."

Typical Republicans. Just as bad (and often worse) than Democrats when it comes to spending and debt.

Trump’s Covid policies were disastrous. He pushed for the massive (and fraudulent) CARES Act which fueled massive inflation. (And called Massie a third rate politician for opposing the inflation). Of course, Biden added to the inflation that Trump started. Trump comes in again and pushes to pass even more spending and debt (And again castigates Massie for opposing). Now, on a population that has been decimated by inflation, Trump wants to erect tariffs. Perhaps without Trump’s prior money-printing, tariffs would be an easier sell. Maybe if Trump had listened to Massie, he’d have an easier time. But the population can’t be blamed for being sick of always paying more for everything.

More inflation? I don't want more inflation.

Will businesses now move manufacturing to the U.S.? Pro-tariff people are an automatic "yes." I don't know either way. But I do know that the U.S. is still a big mess financially and politically. In a few years we can have a President Harris, or President AOC. We can return right back into leftist insanity. Do businesses really want to have their assets here under those conditions? I don't know. I guess we'll see.

The money "put in" has been spent by the government. Warren is right. Social Security is not a charity. It's a Ponzi scheme.

A tariff is a tax. Prices can rise as a result. But it’s not inflation. Inflation is an increase in the money supply. Tariffs do not increase the money supply.

Our decline coincides with Empire. The first "police action" was Korea ... and it has been an endless list of stupidity ever since. The Empire must go. If it doesn't, neither tariffs, nor DOGE, nor anything else will save us.
