I liked the Babylon Bee's headline of 'Disaster Relief Plane Flies Over Hawaii On Way To Ukraine"

Seems fitting for today's Woke America.

Their disdain for America is obvious. They hate us. They despise us. Look no further than East Palestine and now Hawaii. Crumbs. Scraps. Ukraine Billions!

Well the feeling is mutual. I have nothing but disdain (I am using less salty verbiage on a PG comment section) for the evil tyrants collecting OUR money and depositing it into their accounts.

They just showed their hand yet again. Prepare for more communities to burn to the ground so they can buy up the cheap land. It’s climate change. It was lighting. It was wind. It was the sun. 😡 As they hide their DEW and pretend it doesn’t exist.

And to the biden regime voter….shame on you! How much more obvious does the clown show corruption need to be!

41 ridiculous charges. I watched a video of a lady giddy with excitement when interviewed because she thought for a moment she would be able to swear in President Trump. She was beyond excited like this is some kind of game. I just can’t. I can’t. I have nothing nice to say today. I’m out!

Yep. They don’t even try to hide it. Front page, above the fold of the Wall Street Journal this morning: “Wall Street Gets Ready to Buy Real Estate at Steep Discount.” Huh. Imagine that. They don’t always even need a fire; just defund the police and don’t prosecute criminals. Then everybody flees, and, voila! Real estate is cheap. 🤬

Yep, the WSJ report says they are going to swoop in on distressed commercial properties—basically because Democrat policies have killed downtown business districts. Shlt like this is why employers are maddeningly trying to force Return to Office (RTO).

“Wall Street Is Ready to Scoop Up Commercial Real Estate on the Cheap

Firms are raising billions of dollars for funds to target assets with slumping values

The new funds are seeking to capitalize on one of the most troubled commercial-property markets in decades. Values have nosedived since interest rates spiked last year, driving up borrowing costs in the highly leveraged business. The office market, one of the largest sectors, has also been clobbered by a sluggish return-to-office rate, which has sent vacancy rates soaring. Apartment buildings, an investor haven in the past, look vulnerable as owners try to refinance at much higher rates. Mall owners are contending with steep value declines, some of more than 70% over the past few years.

Commercial-property sales have been moribund until recently because most sellers haven’t been willing to cut their prices to the levels that buyers are demanding. Now, a small but growing number of office owners have begun to capitulate, unloading distressed properties.“

Just FYI…

The object of investing in markets is no longer to win as winning is nearly impossible. The object is to position so as to come out on the other side with least loss. And perversely, he who loses the least will win. People who listen to Bloomberg and the usual suspects are the lost sheep.

And FINANCIAL TIMES. That rag is so leftist it is painful. The marxist hate that spews from every mouthpiece hurts my vibe. Had to quit them, and I had a yearly subscription but I let it go a few years back. The money printers seem to have bought all those people who hold any lever of power in schools, courts, administration, big media and other big government concerns.

Hi !!! I can't even imagine !!! But then again, was it an accident that the paper was tinged pink? Actually, pink was back then just cheaper stock. In any event, I gave up my subscription over twenty-five years ago ... and almost had forgotten the Financial Times excepting others say the same as you.

There is nothing real left in the United States. Artificiality reigns everywhere. Synonyms for 'artificiality are fake, pretend, make believe. It offends and wounds me deeply that Cretins have assumed control.

Last night, in a local FB group, so many of the members were cheering about the indictment. These are very intelligent women (and a few men) who have been completely bamboozled by the media. None of them see what’s truly happening here or the danger to our freedoms.

The other day, I got into it with someone on Twitter who was raging how America is a democracy and it’s majority rule. When I told him that it’s a constitutional republic, he called me a far right winger. “The Constitution only mentions republic once,” he said and provided a screenshot. Hahahaha! Dude, just because it doesn’t say “republic”, doesn’t mean it’s not a republic. It’s a form of government, and the Founding Fathers knew the difference (as did most people). I have a reprint of a dictionary from 1828. The definition of democracy and republic or not synonymous. The Founding Fathers view democracies as extremely dangerous. They wrote about the dangers of democracies several times. The dude eventually muted me. 🤷‍♀️

I agree with you, though. It’s getting harder and harder to stay positive, but we must. We can’t let them push us into despair. We have to figure out how we are going to save our nation, and we can’t do that from a place of fear and despair. (I’ve been giving myself this pep talk for days.)

I look around me everyday and see normalcy, yet I know that the new normal is a demonic ideological take over of our country. Call it Marxism, call it the New World Order, but dont call it the United States, because sadly, with each day we become more and more divided.

... or with a product of the Government public school system.

Expand full comment

The whole composite of the Pretend Government now operating in the former United States is a Replacement System, and on many levels. In the Replacement System the former Constitutional practices have been replaced by USC (United States Code) with state codes being 'harmonized' with USC. This harmonization is in actuality a fusion of governments. As we now have a recognizable Uni-Party, we also now have the Uni-Government. And the pretense as to Rights and as to public order lawful has largely vanished, stripped away by the perceived horrors of the Covid Era, tyrannical and absolute.

The real trouble will start once the funding mechanism begins to dry up. When this happens, no one will want 'to save' the old corruption. This is precisely what happened to the Soviet Empire. Everyone had had a belly full, and no one lifted a finger to save the former atrocity.

The public school system is now a concentration camp of young minds. It is now so transparently ludicrous, absurdly ridiculous, that it has for many young people become an object of derision. The absolute whacko modeling of public education will in the end be the impulse of its ultimate undoing. Eventually the insanity exceeds the boundaries of the believable.

Well, I wouldn’t say people are necessarily stupid because they haven’t seen what’s happening. Many of them have been indoctrinated into this for their entire lives. They go from home to school to college to graduate school to work and get the same message/info everywhere they go. Yes, the other information is out there (and, yes, there are people waking up), but they’ve also been told that’s all misinformation. How do you wake them up? I don’t have the answer for that, although some of them are coming out of the coma because of our local politics. One can hope their eyes are fully opened in time. They don’t have to completely agree with me, but I’d like to them to start thinking for themselves and question the pablum fed to them.

Sorry to butt into your great conversation but I just read about the Unibomber Ted Kaczynski who had an IQ of almost 170. He was a

Absolutely. Thirty years ago, I taught at a private elementary school in Southern California. All of the 5th graders hated the US. These were ultra privileged kids who traveled the world. Their parents worked in the film industry and whatnot. I was shocked (then, I wouldn’t be now). The indoctrination has been going on a long time now. We have a long road ahead of us to get our country back. After WWII, Germany was considered a terrorist nation for 10-20 years until they could un-indoctrinate the Nazi youth. Not that Germany’s a shining example of the free world now, but . . .

I do know that in certain groups in this country like those who predominate in Hollywood, there has been a hatred for Judeo-Christian values and

morality...but the hate, in my opinion, is focused mostly on the Christian part.

I honestly don’t remember if they knew why the US was horrible. At 11 or so years old, you’re generally going to be parroting whatever some adult tells you, even if you think you aren’t. It’s hard to form your own opinions without real life experience. Even teenagers, unless they’ve had more independence and supported themselves, most likely are still parroting the trusted adults in their lives. It’s only as you get out on your own that this changes. Mind you, this is just MY opinion. LOL

That being said, I think it had something to do with US’s arrogance and treatment of other countries, but don’t quote me. LOL
