Haven’t heard from cpt keshel long time. Smart and informed. BFL
in the 2020 debates he said “I caught them. I caught them all.” Many people wondered what he was talking about. I think we’re starting to find out now.

My 14 year old grandson made the same connection between Trump and Jackson a few weeks ago. Kid’s a genius!
I always like parallel’s.
It doesn’t take much to see that DJT used the last 4 years very well. He put together a team prepared to relentless neutering of the bureaucracy.
The assassination attempt put him in warp drive.
Jackson is one of my favorite presidents. The man wasn’t perfect, but he was quite a guy. One of his best acts was breaking the Second Bank of the United States. I hope Trump breaks the Federal Reserve. We made a mistake in 1913 and it needs to be rectified.
AND what did Jackson do?
He killed the central bank.
At least he had a gold standard to somewhat restrain massive government debt and spending. We don’t even have that. So OF COURSE woke activist politicians and their cronies are going to take control of the massive rivers of money flowing through DC.
Trump 2.0 is the kind of bulldozer we need to push away the trash.

"Jackson biographer Jon Meacham writes: "Jackson believed the country was being controlled by a kind of congressional-financial-bureaucratic complex in which the needs and concerns of the unconnected were secondary to those who were on the inside." This is comparable to Trump's view that a "deep state" of elitist sympathizers is embedded in the federal bureaucracy and is eager to destroy his presidency and thwart his agenda. He has pledged to root them out, just as Jackson confronted his own adversaries."
A "invisible government" behind the scenes, directing government policy to enrich themselves?
What an interesting idea!
For the math inclined Jackson is the natural logarithm president. 2 Terms. Seventh President, elected in 1828. 2.71828.
Jackson is also the only time in American history that the Federal Debt was zero.
Regarding the corrupt deal of 1824, I recall reading that John C. Calhoun was also involved in the bargaining of which states would support Adams instead of Jackson. Can anyone with a better knowledge of that historical period confirm that? Thanks in advance…
Yet what is he doing now to keep them from stealing the House? He lost at least two seats in California that way in 2024. Yes, I know about how he's demanded voter ID in return for Federill funds, but if he doesn't kill mail-in ballots and demand clean voter rolls, the Slave Party will find a way to steal it.
Does Capt. Seth Keshel know you ripped off his work for your blog?
How do you sleep at night?
