  • I’m an economist, here’s why I’m not celebrating the latest inflation report

    I’m an economist, here’s why I’m not celebrating the latest inflation report

    🚨INFLATION IS DOWN! WOW! BUT WAIT. New jobs report claims 2.7% inflation. This would be a tiny improvement if true. But all of the inflation celebration (and wall street rally today) is overshadowing a MUCH more important number: unemployment has jumped to 4.6%, the highest since 2021, with no end in sight to the job collapse. In fact, every economist I follow says unemployment will jump to at least 5% next year and there’s nothing to indicate that a whole new crop of jobs will be popping up to save the day. In fact, most traditional jobs are being devoured by AI.

    So when you look at the whole picture, the tiny inflation improvement, while helpful, is not an indicator of our overall economic health or our future economic health. If the jobs are going to continue to vanish, and I firmly believe they will due to the AI takeover, inflation is not going to matter for most people if they can’t afford to pay their rent and buy groceries in the first place. I mean, OK yay for lower gas prices, but how will that even be relevant if you don’t have money because you don’t have a job to put gas in your car???

    What I’m getting at here is that the inflation report, which the Trump admin is pushing the hardest right now to prove he is making America great again, should not be his focus. His focus should be JOBS. Because without jobs, no one can buy anything anyway. But unfortunately his focus is not jobs. His focus is AI, which devours jobs. He SHOULD be ringing the alarm nonstop about the rising unemployment rate and the fact that America has a lost 1.8 million jobs this year, and there are no new industries that will create jobs. he actually should be taking extreme measures to stop the AI job takeover. This is a five-alarm national emergency, Yet from the exuberant tone of his communications, you would think we were entering into the best economic era in America history—when the exact opposite is true. 

    So excuse me for not popping the champagne bottles to celebrate lower inflation when all the jobs are being completely devoured by AI and data centers are being installed in every single region of America to gobble up what resources remain. As long as AI is the focus of this administration, there is no point in celebrating any other short term economic “victories” — because they are only temporary.

  • Questions for those who still believe the Charlie Kirk official narrative…

    Questions for those who still believe the Charlie Kirk official narrative…

    SINCERE QUESTIONS for those who still believe the official narrative. Feel free to respond to one and/or all of these. Let’s talk about it.

    How do you explain all the video footage that shows Kirk as he gets shot, but then immediately zooms out (or someone steps in front of the camera ) so you can’t see what happens next?

    How do you explain the ballistics? The FBI claims a highly powerful 30.06 was used to shoot Kirk, yet every single demo that hunters, snipers, and gun owners have posted show that a 30.06 round would’ve blown his neck apart and absolutely shattered and gone right through his spinal column? There’s literally no way that the bullet could’ve ever lodged right under the skin as the ER surgeon is claiming.

    How do you explain the fact that the Dairy Queen that Tyler Robinson was supposedly shown at after the event is now closed and the inside has been totally cleared out? Is this purely a coincidence?

    How do you explain how Kirk security team completely cleared out the tent before law-enforcement even arrived, and even with the presence of MULTIPLE law-enforcement officers, the crime scene wasn’t taped off until hours later? One of Kirk’s people actually grabbed the chair he was sitting on and stood on it to pull the camera off the tent and remove the SD card from it.

    How do you explain how Kirk’s security team, which is supposedly made up of former Navy seals, Secret Service people, and the very best of the best security people getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, ALL would fail to check the rooftops, even though they had multiple drones in the air? between Kirk security team and local law-enforcement, they had to be at least 50 of them, yet nobody checked the rooftops, even after Trump was allegedly shot from a rooftop in Butler Pennsylvania??

    How do you explain Kirk security team and local law-enforcement ignoring the guy who told them he could see a shadowy figure up on the roof? Why didn’t they radio that to all of each other and get Charlie out of the way as soon as they learned it? Why did they ignore the guy?

    How do you explain the presence of EMTs who walked up to the SUV as they were putting Kirk into it and offered Help and Kirk security team refused their help? they were carrying huge medical bags of the very types of resources that he needed at that second, yet they would rather drive him many miles to the hospital?

    How do you explain Donald Trump less than 24 hours after Charlie his top maga marketer, dear friend, whom he called “a son” to him was brutally executed in front of the whole world , was at a Yankees game dancing to YMCA? when a reporter asked him how he was holding up in the wake of Charlie’s death, he said just fine and then wanted to talk about the ballroom construction?

    How do you explain the ridiculous supposed text message conversation between Tyler Robinson and his supposedly trans roommate? How do you explain the detailed admission he gives his roommate over easily accessible, text messaging, and then follows up with “don’t talk to law-enforcement about anything”? he literally tells law-enforcement everything over text, knowing they will be able to read his texts, then says not to talk to law-enforcement. How does this make even a single bit of sense? He’s a “reddit lid” and computer nerd and gamer. He knows how all of this works.

    How do you explain the media narrative that he initially told his parents that he didn’t want to live and he was going to kill himself, then suddenly he does a flip-flop and demands a peaceful arrest because he doesn’t want to die?

    How do you explain how everyone in TPUSA, including Kirk’s wife, everyone in the Trump circle, all of Trump’s most passionate and fervent supporters, everyone in government, the entire media, everyone except us tinfoil hats, happily go along with the official narrative and never even question it even though countless videos and testimonies, have emerged that called the official narrative into extreme question?

    How do you explain the presence of the “47“ hat in every single key image of the event, next to Erika Kirk when she does the podcast statement, all over the memorial,
    in Charlie seat at the return of the podcast, and in nearly every single TPUSA sponsored ad on Facebook after his desk? Do you sincerely think this is just a coincidence?

    How do you explain how Charlie Kirk is allegedly shot during the conversation with the kid about trans mass shootings and one of the bullet casings refers to trans and Tyler Robinson is supposedly dating a trans and Trump/Kirk supporters are highly anti-trans? Do you sincerely believe all of this is just a coincidence?

    How do you explain the eruption under Charlie shirt before we see the wound in his neck? ? if the official narrative is true that he was shot in the front of the neck, shouldn’t it be the other way around? Shouldn’t we see the wound first followed by the reaction of his shirt? why do you supposed to shirt erupts first? and you can’t say it was a ricochet off a bulletproof vest because law-enforcement and the hospital that treated him said he was shot in the front of the neck.

    How do you explain that right before the shot Kirk bows his head and closes his eyes? Are you aware this is highly out of character for him in a debate environment like this? Do you think it was just a coincidence that he closes his eyes and appears to brace for something? Are you also aware that right before the shot someone can be heard saying “stay down“? Are you also aware that his security team was much further away from him than they usually are?

    How do you explain how the sniper could have seen Kirk’s head and neck from a position 50 to 60 feet above him when Kirk was elevated 2 feet off the ground under a tent with a 12 inch drape in the front? I have already provided a video with all of the Math that says it would be impossible for a sniper on that building to see his head and neck— especially when the student video before the event shows the alleged sniper laying 4 feet back from the ledge of the building, which would make it impossible for him to see Kirk.

    How do you explain how every single video that could show us Kirk’s condition after the shooting has been blurred out?? They are claiming that the videos are too graphic to show us, yet they continue to allow the videos showing us him literally getting shot in the neck and bleeding out in front of everyone??

    How do you explain in the video where his security team is tending to him on the ground that they don’t seem the least bit bothered by what has happened? Not only are they stone faced, but at one point one of them appears to be smiling. If that isn’t bad enough, they are not communicating to each other whatsoever. why isn’t anyone screaming – for example – “come on Charlie! Stay with us, buddy!” like human beings do in these situations??

    How do you explain the absence of all the other videos that were shot that day? When the cameras pan around at the audience, literally hundreds of people are shooting videos when he was shot. Where are all those videos???

    How do you explain how immediately following the shooting Donald Trump and his people and supporters began referring to the “lunatic left” and how they had to be stopped without even knowing for sure who had done it and what evidence had merged to prove they had done it? ? shortly there after Donald Trump declared “antifa” the enemy of America and wrote an executive order to deem them as a terrorist group. Do you think he would have been able to do that without the Kirk shooting? why were they so quick to embrace that narrative simply on the testimony of the Utah governor and Kash Patel??

    How do you explain the behavior of Erika Kirk? people keep saying “everyone grieves differently“ to excuse it, but the point is everyone sees it. Everyone knows deep down she does not appear to be a widow in mourning after the love of her life was brutally publicly executed. Her and everyone at TPSA seems to have no fear whatsoever that they could be next. They act like there is no threat to them or anyone else. Business as usual.

    How do you explain the dark maroon color of the blood as it leaves Charlie’s neck? are you aware that fresh blood is bright, almost fluorescent, red? and you can’t say “he was in the shadows“ because in the same videos, some of the hats are bright red. And if you look at previous event videos, you will also see bright red colors under the tent in the shade.

    How do you explain the absence of an ambulance which are always present at these kind of events? especially given the fact that Kirk apparently was fully aware that his life was at stake every time he took the stage?

    These are just a few of them many questions I have for those who still believe the official narrative.

  • The REAL story behind Trump’s prescription drug discount announcement

    Trump suddenly announced recently that Pfizer had agreed to reduce their drug prices by 50%. His supporters got super excited about this and said “see we told you, he really cares about us.” But that’s not actually what’s happening.

    Pfizer is expanding their mRNA empire in this “deal” with Trump, and it gets them full support from the federal government and all of its resources in HHS and so forth.

    in tandem with a “deal” with Pfizer, Trump announced he is launching TRUMPRX.COM to provide Americans with a search engine to find the lowest prescription prices. But in reality, the website will be a cash cow for Trump to collect referral royalties every time he sends another duped American to Pfizer’s —or one of their subsidiary’s — website to buy pharma. Researchers are saying it will be worth billions of dollars to the Trump empire.

    Meanwhile, Americans will not be paying lower prices for Pharma. If you truly believe they will, I’ve got a bridge to sell you in the Arizona desert.

  • Kash Patel destroys key MAGA indictment of Dems, says 250 FBI agents did nothing wrong on Jan 6…

    Kash Patel destroys key MAGA indictment of Dems, says 250 FBI agents did nothing wrong on Jan 6…

    Prior to Trump getting elected, his supporters told us nonstop that once he took office, he was going to prosecute every single FBI agent who showed up at the January 6 protest and caused the riots.

    They swore up and down that the FBI agents were the ones who caused the riots.

    And when Trump appointed Patel to be his FBI director, they said “Oh my God, Kash is gonna go after every single January 6 fraud FBI!!! YES!!!! WINNING!!!!”

    Well, that didn’t age well.

    Shortly after firing a group of FBI agent who “took a knee for George Floyd,“ Kash Patel has now announced that the “FBI did nothing wrong* on January 6.

    Pardon me but BWAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Kash said the only reason agents were sent to the capitol was to calm down the rioters. He’s literally calling it a riot now and saying the FBI were the good guys on January 6.

    Director Kashyap says the only person who should be held accountable for J6 is Chris Wray, the acting FBI Director at the time, who, by the way Trump himself appointed! Why? Because Wray allegedly inappropriately ordered FBI agents to the capitol when that is not their job.

    OK, I am really doing my best to hold in another laughing attack.

    For those who are having difficulty tracking, allow me to break it down: Kash Patel has absolutely eviscerated the virally popular MAGA conspiracy theory that the FBI was at the cap on January 6 to cause the riots and “entrap” Trump supporters on the orders of Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden!

    In fact, it was this theory that Maga built their distrust of Biden on. And now Patel has said it is complete rubbish. Total nonsense. Not an ounce of truth to it. Kash has basically singlehandedly exonerated Biden, Pelosi, even Wray from any wrongdoing.

    Kash Patel just called the entire Maga movement a pack of lies.

    What’s next? Next he is going to tell us that the 2020 election wasn’t stolen. Wait for it.

    One can only hope this wakes up more Trump supporters to see this administration is not for them. But I won’t hold my breath. Especially when I’m working so hard to restrain my laughter.

    Oh, by the way, Kash Patel was one of Obama’s most fervent supporters and soldiers throughout his administration. Just saying.

  • WHY ARE KIRK SUPPORTERS OK WITH THE OFFICIAL NARRATIVE?

    WHY ARE KIRK SUPPORTERS OK WITH THE OFFICIAL NARRATIVE?

    This is gonna piss some people off, but that’s OK because it needs to be said . And I know I’m not the only one who feels like this.

    Can someone please explain to me why Erika Kirk, turning point USA, and diehard Trump faithfuls aren’t questioning the official narrative whatsoever?

    Never mind, you don’t need to explain to me. I already know the answer. It was a rhetorical question

    At first, I couldn’t figure out why diehard Kirk fans werent questioning the narrative or expressing a single bit of outrage about what would appear to be a catastrophic failure of Kirk’s security detail and local law-enforcement.

    Where is the outrage?? One of the first things I hollered was “why the hell didn’t they clear the roofs? He’d still be alive had they done their jobs!” I was absolutely livid at the incompetency of his so-called “security” team and law-enforcement. Although this was before all of the crazy videos started surfacing and the official narrative began to look like complete fantasy.

    As the days wore on and the narrative became weaker and weaker, I wondered why the people who claim to LOVE Charlie so deeply weren’t publicly outcrying for answers and accountability? Why they weren’t asking any questions whatsoever. Why they were obssessively focused on nothing other than re-launching the “prove me wrong” tour, fundraising, and building his legacy.

    I was really mystified because I’m not even a Charlie Kirk fan, yet I’m more passionate about getting to the bottom of the truth about his ostensible murder than his supporters. In fact, many of his supporters are calling me a nutcase and a “tin foil hat moron” for not believing the “leftist trans lunatic” narrative that the Trump administration is pushing so hard. 

    I have really struggled to understand their silence, contentment, and dare I say satisfaction— especially considering the vast majority of these people constantly question the government nonstop and routinely accuse the government of coverups, lying, conspiracy, and so forth. After all, these are the same people who launched the “pizza gate” conspiracy. Yet suddenly, they all trust the government, and anyone who questions the government is now their enemy.

    My mind was like 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

    Then it hit me.

    I’ll tell you why I think most of them are sticking with the official “trans deviant leftist lunatic” narrative and blasting anyone who questions it. And a lot of people aren’t gonna like what I have to say next, but I believe it to be true:

    THEY WANT CHARLIE’S KILLER TO BE TYLER “THE PRO TRANS LEFTIST LUNATIC” ROBINSON. Why? Because they are not on a quest for justice and freedom; they are on a quest to punish the Democrats— just like their leader Trump. 

    Therefore they don’t care how many holes the narrative has in it. They don’t care how much evidence emerges that calls the narrative into question. They don’t care how compelling and intriguing the many theories are.  They see an opportunity to blame something heinous on the left, who is their sworn enemy, and they are not going to squander it… justice be damned.

    If you’re sitting there scratching your head asking “how did they become this hateful of the left that they would be willing to completely overlook every other theory and actually attack people who dare question the government narrative?” My answer would be: because hate is a very powerful motivator.  They don’t care if Tyler Robinson did it or not. They don’t care if the government is involved. They don’t care if it was an inside job. They just want their “deranged lunatic leftist” enemies to be punished, and they are happy for Tyler Robinson , or anyone else the government names , to be the scapegoat. 

    The other reason they want it to be Tyler Robinson is because they know deep down that if the government is involved, the investigative trail could lead all the way to the top or to their favorite foreign country, and that is an outcome they are unwilling to face or accept Why? because Maga isn’t just their politics and their values, it is their entire identity. They would rather the BS official narrative succeed and many people get away with heinous crimes than to admit they were wrong and kick their idols to the curb. That is some strong pride right there. 

    Of course, i’d be remiss if I didn’t add that the other side is no better. If the political sides were turned, the left would be doing the same thing to protect their idol. Don’t think for a moment that I’m picking on the right. The left does the same exact thing when their sworn enemy is accused.

    Therein lies the problem. Both sides are deceived and blind due to their political pride, leaving only a small minority of us to earnestly search for the truth and justice and follow every single lead, road, and rabbit hole to find it. And there are fewer and fewer of us every day.

    Don’t get me wrong. It’s OK with me. I’m fine with it. I don’t lose sleep over these people. I feel sorry for them. They are in for a horribly rude awakening “unlike anything anyone has ever seen before.” One day they are going to have to account for their pride and willful blindness. I personally would not want to be in their shoes on that day. But that’s just me.

  • I can’t stop thinking about this wild thing Charlie Kirk said about his wife Erika..

    I can’t stop thinking about this wild thing Charlie Kirk said about his wife Erika..

    If you are triggered easily, you might not want to read this. We are in the business of truth digging, and it can be a very unsettling and uncomfortable business, especially for those who cling to official narratives. You’ve been warned.

    If Charlie Kirk is dead, God rest his soul. He was a young dude, still learning. He had some things right, he had many things wrong, particularly his diehard support for team Trump, especially in light of everything that has happened and not happened since Trump took power again.

    The very fact that Kirk was still giving out 47 and Maga hats at his event on the day he departed is disturbing to say the least. you’d have to be quite blind to still think the Trump political group is the solution for America , let alone representative of truth and justice and love and Jesus.

    Was Kirk under obligation to keep supporting Trump? Was he still blind and devoted? Was he torn? We will never know now because they aren’t gonna tell us the truth. They are gonna do everything in their power to conceal the truth and wipe any evidence that could help us learn it.

    Of the many things I’ve heard since Kirk departed though, him saying that his wife is “way more conservative“ than him in a video they did together is one of the strangest. He laughed and said he was a “moderate“ compared to her. This raises a lot of questions, of course. The main question is: how do they define conservative? Because he was already pro-life, anti woke, and very constitutionally focused, especially with respect to the first and second amendment, which is considered “far right” by most standards.

    My thought is by “conservative“ he may have meant pro Maga Trump party, since most conservatives of America have decided that Trump embodies conservatism (by the way, he does not, not even close). If my thought is right, that means Erika was the diehard Trump supporter in the relationship, and she most likely was a major influence on him to be the same. It might even mean that she is the one that lined up all the Trump merch for his events and what not.

    This angle has legs in more ways than one. First of all, it is now coming out that her mother was involved— Erika uses the word “involved” a lot— with “the government and homeland security department.” Her father designed a Trump building. How long has she known Trump personally? How close was she with Trump? I mean, after all, she was a pageant queen in at least one of his pageants.

    So, when Charlie said “Erika’s way more conservative than me“ was he saying that she is way more Trump than him? And if yes, does this mean that she plays a huge role to MAGAFY the TPSUSA movement— and potentially even on behalf of Trump?

    And if yes, would this explain why she immediately took the TPUSA helm after Charlie left—even though she has zero qualifications to be a CEO of a multimillion dollar organization— and immediately began saturating social media and email with images of her and Charlie in Maga gear nonstop and asking for donations?

    And if yes, would that also explain why Trump was the keynote speaker at the memorial, and Trump held her in his arms while the cameras kicked away and they sang America the beautiful together? By the way where was Melania during this moment? I don’t even recall seeing Melania at the event.

    One thing I know for sure today. I have far more questions than I have answers. This is the most suspicious and unsettling event that I have ever witnessed in my half century. I don’t want to think that my government could be involved in such a heinous conspiracy, but there are just so many questions that keep nagging me. And every day I have more and more questions and less and less answers.

  • Is Trump sinking the dollar to get richer and pillage the lower classes?

    Is Trump sinking the dollar to get richer and pillage the lower classes?

    The value of US dollar has tanked 10% since Trump took over. It’s not like he doesn’t have the influence to change that trend, yet he continues to allow it. In the past, he has said he loves it because it allows him to make a lot of money in the stock market. For those of you who don’t know what a devalued dollar does for the lower classes, here’s a primer:

    A devalued U.S. dollar generally hits the lower classes the hardest, because they spend a larger share of their income on essentials and have fewer buffers (savings, investments, assets) to protect themselves. Here are the main negative effects:


    1. Rising Prices (Inflation)

    • When the dollar weakens, imports (food, clothing, fuel, electronics, medicine, etc.) cost more.
    • Since the U.S. imports a lot of goods, everyday items become more expensive.
    • Lower-income households already spend a higher percentage of their income on basics, so inflation bites them harder.

    2. Higher Fuel & Energy Costs

    • Oil is priced globally in dollars, so a weaker dollar tends to push up gas and heating prices.
    • Transportation and utility bills rise, which trickles down into higher costs for groceries and other necessities.

    3. Wage Lag

    • Wages for lower-income workers usually don’t keep up with inflation.
    • Their purchasing power declines, meaning their paycheck buys less food, rent, and healthcare.

    4. Erosion of Savings

    • If someone in the lower class manages to save, that money loses value when the dollar weakens.
    • Unlike wealthier households, they’re less likely to own assets (like stocks, real estate, or gold) that may rise in value during inflation.

    5. Debt Pressure

    • Interest rates often rise when inflation picks up.
    • Credit cards, car loans, and adjustable-rate mortgages become more expensive, hitting households already living paycheck to paycheck.

    6. Reduced Access to Essentials

    • Imported medicines, electronics, vehicles, and even some food products become more expensive or scarce.
    • This limits choice and can push families toward lower-quality substitutes.

    ✅ In short: A weaker dollar acts like a hidden tax on the poor — raising costs while giving them no equal upside. Wealthier households may benefit from dollar devaluation if they hold assets, but the working class mostly just sees their cost of living rise.

    Would you like me to also break down the few potential benefits a weaker dollar might have for lower-income groups (like more manufacturing jobs), so you see both sides?

  • Trumps slaps NYT with $15B lawfare suit

    Trumps slaps NYT with $15B lawfare suit

    Trump continues massive LAWFARE campaign against his enemies by suing the The New York Times for $15 BILLION for defaming him.

    Before I weigh in on this, I was a news hound for years. I used to read the LA times, USA today, New York Times, etc. Frequently. When they went full tilt left, I was so disappointed and angry. I couldn’t believe they could be so stupid to alienate half their reader base simply to appease a political party. But then I realized the political party had taken over their businesses.

    Recently, I subscribed to the New York Times because they gave me a deal for something like a dollar for three months. I read enough of their articles to justify a dollar I guess. But unless I get another killer deal, I will cancel it when the three months are up. Other than that, I would never pay for the news anymore because it is so freaking incredibly politically biased— even right here in red State Idaho, where the Idaho Statesman is shockingly nothing more than the communication arm for the Democrat party.

    All that said, I haven’t seen where NYT has slandered or defamed Trump. I haven’t seen anything that would warrant a $15 billion lawsuit. He has sued them and lost in the past. Although this time he may not lose because he has the most powerful legal team ever because he extorted multiple legal firms into doing pro bono work for him, which itself is most likely illegal.

    Again, I know the press is biased, and I don’t like it; but at the same time, the press are the only people who have access to the White House and all the people in office! It’s not like you and I can go to the press room and ask questions  of our government. Therefore, I would rather have a biased press than no press at all. 

    Trump has a very different perspective. He would rather have no press than a biased press. Let that sink in. He doesn’t even want a neutral press; he wants a pro Trump press. He wants a press that continually brags about him, supports his agenda, and glorifies him with every story. He basically wants to dictate the news. He absolutely can’t stand to be criticized, even from news organizations that are ostensibly on his side.

    If Trump had his way, there would be no press. There would only be a “White House Wire.“ I’m here to tell you, that’s no different than having a government news agency, like we see in Russia and North Korea. That’s not a free republic. That’s an autocracy. is that what we want? Sadly, some people do want that. I actually hear people on social media saying “I am OK with Trump being a dictator.” These people know not what they speak of. They have lost their minds, and they’re about to lose their freedoms.

  • Breaking: Trump launches “nationwide crackdown on leftist hate groups”

    Breaking: Trump launches “nationwide crackdown on leftist hate groups”

    Trump is going scorched earth on what he calls the “lunatic left.” After FBI director Patel said it appears some people on Reddit were aware of the Kirk assassination plan and didn’t report it to authorities, Trump has extrapolated that to mean there are multiple domestic hate groups planning terror acts, and they all must be eradicated.

    What could go wrong?

    If you have to ask that question, you probably need a long education in totalitarian government history.

    Government crackdowns like this are very slippery slopes and *inevitably* they always expand to include whomever the government considers a threat to them — or their political party. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

    Technically speaking, this approach is called “collective punishment.” It’s when authorities punish a massive group of people for the actions of a few. Collective punishment is a feature of totalitarianism, communism, and other human rights wrecking isms. The question begs: if they would do it to them, which stops them from eventually doing it to us?

    The problem with this sort of collective punishment is that there are no specific definitions of what “hate group” means. The left, including Mark Zuckerberg and other social media platform owners, did the same thing when they started canceling anyone for posting “hate speech.” Turns out they had a very narrow definition of hate speech and they only applied it to one group and not everyone. I should know because they accused me of hate speech on multiple occasions and all I was doing was criticizing, political policies, and other arrangements.

    In the case of Donald Trump, the danger is that— if history is any indicator— he will use this as an occasion to go after all of his own personal enemies, and anyone he personally deems a threat to American safety and security, not necessarily everyone across the board on both the left and right who are posting dangerous things.

    How will the new witch-hunt crackdown effect all of us? It moves America one step closer to requiring a REAL ID for absolutely everything, followed by a biometric ID. In other words, it moves us a colossal step closer to the beast system. All in the name of “national security,” as always.

    How many times have I said “they can do anything in the name of national security”? How many times have I observed that we have our constitutional freedoms— until there is a “national emergency” and they throw them all out the window and impose martial law? Too many times to count.

    I am very concerned about our freedom. I am very concerned about our way of life. I am very concerned about the massive expansion of our federal government—unlike anything anyone has ever seen before. America is literally turning into the “big brother“ government of the 1984 prophecy and it’s terrifying. and I’m even more concerned that most of my fellow citizens are in denial about it.

    If you’re in denial about it, here’s a question to ponder. How do you define “leftist hate group“ ? More importantly, how does Trump define it? Do you see the problem with these kind of sweeping generalized labels? What if he starts moving the goal posts to mean “anyone who criticizes his presidency“? I mean, after all, I criticize his presidency, and although I’m a conservative, I am constantly accused by his followers of being a “leftist hater.” How long before they start using the “crack down“ to come after absolutely everyone who disagrees with Trump? Is this what we want?

    Speaking of crackdowns. When are they going to start cracking down on pedophiles and all of the politicians who protect them? Such as the 50 Republicans who just voted to keep the Epstein files sealed as Charlie Kirk was being assassinated?
