George W. Bush: "I've abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system" Trump wants $20 Trillion more in debt: “Because we have to fix the country.”

Trump has squandered any moral authority by underwriting ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Russia is the winner of the war. Those who lose don’t get to have red lines. Biden lost, and the longer Trump lets this go on, the loss becomes his as well.

Both The Catholic Church and America are in crisis. In the Church, the crisis is primarily Vatican II. In America, the crisis is primarily the Fed and the spending, debt and Empire that it finances. Both the Church and America now have leaders that are *gesturing* to pre-crisis eras. Pope Leo has been gesturing towards Traditions prior to Vatican II. President Trump was elected to bring back traditional America. In action, President Trump is doing no such thing. Nothing is being cut. Government spending and debt are expanding. The troops aren't coming home. This can change, but that's the situation at the moment. Gestures and words will not cut it for either one. As long as Vatican II continues, the Catholic Church must remain in crisis. While good actions can be taken, they can, at best, be considered lipstick. As long as the Fed and Empire continue, America must remain in crisis. Same deal. Good stuff can happen, but it's only lipstick. The root of each crisis need to be struck down in order to exit the crisis. Of the two, the crisis in the Catholic Church is vastly more important as it deals with the eternal, and is the permanent and only Bride of Christ. Nations are temporal, and will always come and go. They are never permanent. The gates of hell prevail over nations. But they will never prevail against the Catholic Church.

“Dad, why do we pay taxes in America?” “So that Israel can do this, son.”

The two parties have mastered Good Cop/Bad Cop. Democrats are obviously the bad cops...(proudly). They're going to give you government good and hard. But Republicans are the party of deception. Republicans pose as the good cops...and then give you government good and hard.

Democrats don’t pretend that they’ll shrink government power, spending or debt. They’re very straightforward. Elect them and it’ll all increase. Republicans pretend (for votes) that they will reverse it all. They don’t. So where does that leave us? With the biggest leviathan in history that’s $37 trillion in debt… …and climbing.

The Biden Administration used to claim that inflation was 0%. Now Trump says there's virtually no inflation. No matter who happens to be in power, they will contradict reality.

Blame is placed on so-called RINO's. They're not RINO's ... They're Republicans. A real RINO is someone like Ron Paul or Massie; and the few like them. They're the true "Republicans In Name Only." The rest are status quo Republicans. The Party is horrible, and always has been.

The first instinct is not to believe it. After all, Trump was saying Gaza would be an ethnically cleansed beach resort not too long ago. Nothing Trump says can be taken seriously. Only what he does. What should he do? Stop all money and weapons to Israel.

It's amazing how an administration that was elected to drastically reduce the size and scope of government... Has EXPANDED the spending and debt of government ... and implemented REAL ID surveillance. They won't codify DOGE ... which is quickly fading away. They'll instead codify renaming a body of water.

In related news, Trump wants the first $1 Trillion military budget.

The Israel First guy wants to primary the America First guy. (Again.)

While it’s good that “gain of function” bullshit is now illegal, there are some problems that remain. - The nature of the government, its goals, and personnel have not changed. - The government breaks all of its rules…including and especially the “Supreme Law of the Land” known as the Constitution. - The government outsources to “private” entities what it’s illegal for itself to do. So while it’s good that “gain of function” is illegal, we’re still dealing with hardened criminals.

This is globalism and global oligarchy defined. There are clearly people who are above national governments. The U.S. is the most obvious example. Our politicians are as impotent as can be. They're not there for us. What do those, who are above governments, and who believe THEMSELVES to be gods producing? Hell on earth.

This is what our American government funds and weaponizes. Without a peep of resistance or remorse. Then again, after the historic covid crimes, is it even surprising that our leaders would do this?

Trump made many bad Cabinet picks. Waltz. Bondi letting the Epstein files fall off her desk...perhaps into the shredder. Neocons like Hegseth and Rubio. And of course, for the Speaker job, the one that everyone knew was terrible. Mr. Israel First himself, Mike Johnson.

As was very easy to predict, mass deportations are not happening. Now Trump floats the idea of giving $1000 to people who supposedly self-deport. Here’s the IRON LAW of government giving tax money away… A majority of the money goes to fraud. One day in the future, a report will come out that 75% of the money given away was fraudulent.

Trump's job is not to stop Russia and Ukraine from fighting. America has NO moral authority whatsoever, being at constant war (overt and covert) for an entire century....and presently subsidizing the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Trump's job is to get the U.S. out of the Ukraine war. He can snap his fingers and do that. Just walk away. Blame it all on Biden. But Trump surrounded himself with neocons (again). He risks turning Biden's failed war into his own failed war.

So this is what it's like to live through an ethnic cleansing that your own nation supports. The paid-off politicians and much of the public are cool with it. A history book doesn't capture the experience. It doesn't answer "How are Americans OK with it?" This is it. They are.

In America, half the country always hates the federal government. The other half doesn't necessarily care for it either. The best government is localized. It's where you have the most say and influence. The further out you go, the more pissed off people you create. Now you're being ruled from afar. A government for "the world" is global absurdity. Imagine taking orders from Brussels or London. Stupid.
