hope of ever turning things around no matter how hard you try? Right now, there are millions upon millions of Americans that have been emotionally crushed by this economic downturn, and many of them have completely lost all hope. Those around them may be telling them to “hang in there”, but month after month goes by and nothing ever seems to get better.
For a moment, I would like for you to consider a scenario. Imagine that you own a successful small restaurant somewhere in the country. Despite the odds, the restaurant has been successful enough over the years for you to make a living, but now during the COVID pandemic it has been bleeding red ink for months. You keep putting more of your own money into it to keep it alive, but now your own bank account is running dangerously low. The office job that your wife had was always a steady source of income for the family, but she lost that job shortly after the pandemic began. Unless your wife can find a comparable job very quickly, you won’t be able to pay the mortgage in a couple of months. Meanwhile, the drug company that produces the medicine that your son depends upon to survive just raised prices for the third year in a row and your family doctor just told you that your daughter desperately needs surgery. At the same time, your hot water heater needs to be replaced and something is wrong with your vehicle but you are afraid to take it to the mechanic because of how much it might cost.
Does any of that sound familiar?

What we need is moar doom and gloom.
Cause your doom is someone’s moneymaker.
All deplorables should read the replys!
What else could “we’re all in this together” mean?
Yes it’s funny that for a year now we’ve been destroying people economically but hear NOTHING about it. We do get constant Covid fear porn however.
It’s very hard to believe that the economy isn’t going to wind down to a point that will be obvious to the stones in the street even if the drivebys are still trying to bury it.
The suffering is caused by politicians who will use that suffering to enact the policies they always wanted.
It is a means to an end.
An example of this is in California where some of the people who signed Newsom the Vile's recall petition did so because they think he hasn't done enough ... that he's loosening his ham-fisted control of the lives of 40 million American citizens unfortunate enough to live in California too soon and too quickly!
We're not quite there yet, but it's coming and coming soon. The money is running out ...
Tough. Those people support this COVID crap. Every last thing about it. They even wear their masks to bed.
i am seeing more panhandlers on the streets. typically they ask me for money.
Suffering is part of life and it causes better plans for the next round always something coming down the pike.
It already is. In a generation or so, I expect one of the Chinese "vacation babies" will rise to political power in the US.
My primary strategy is “no more Mr. Nice Guy.” If your a democrat/Biden supporter, then you get no help from me - period. It’s about time we start making these brain-dead bozos pay for their own bad decisions. And, if your a liberal, RINO, or fence-sitting politician, I’m campaigning against you.

I had two identical signs made by a sign company. They’re 6”x8”, made of heave grade aluminum, bright red finish with large white letters that read:
NO DEMOCRATS
ARE WELCOME HERE
DO NOT ENTER
One is nailed to the archway into my farm, and the other one is hanging on my porch wall near the front entrance.
Didn’t really work that way in Russia for the most part. The elites and upper middle class “enlightened” who supported the “revolution” emotionally. politically and financially against the czar were for the most part unceremoniosly purged, impoverished, killed or scattered as soon as the communists took power. Agree its hard to imagine Gates, Soros, Bloomberg, Bezos and the rest suffering the same fate here but its possible.
It looks as though this site has been “cancelled.” When I click on the link, I get a message that “your connection isn’t private.” I also get it when I type in the site’s home page.
Erin go bragh!

Little more than a month to St. Patrick’s Day (my unofficial start of spring)...
The parallels to the 1917 revolutions in Russia are appropriate; we had our February revolution (in which the people rose up against their elites to set up a republic) with the election of Trump in 2016, and now we have our October revolution (in which a small group of totalitarians seize power by controlling a few cities). This election was stolen from the American people by massive fraud in five cities (Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Phoenix), and it will allow the coastal urban elites to ram their agenda down our throats. Just as the Bolshevik agenda was never put to a ballot, we were never given a voice in unrestricted taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand, ObamaCare, “gay marriage”, etc. - it is just pushed on us.
All efforts by Trump’s people should have been focused on obtaining a forensic evaluation of the paper ballots cast in Pliladelphia, Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee, Las Vegas and Phoenix. There were plenty of sworn statements from eyewitnesses to begin cases. The fact that the courts absolutely refused to even hear the evidence tells rational, decent people that the fix was in and nothing would be done to rectify it or establish justice. American democract was shattered perhaps forever.
The problem since the beginning of the Trump administration was that he had no “people”; as an apolitical outsider/non-politician he first beat the Republican machine to get the nomination, than beat the Democrat machine to win the White House (upsetting both halves of the ruling Uniparty).
Neither half of the Uniparty wanted him to win in 2020, and they colluded to make it so.
Absolutely correct. Trump never really learned how to exercise real power. Nor did he surround himself with trustworthy people who shared his pro American values and who knew how to wield the levers of power. The result was that he never got control of critical Federal agencies such as Justice,CIA, FBI, NSA, Penatgon or State. Hiring Sessions and his family were the most obvious disasters. Once had high hopes for Steve Bannon ,but Bannon was not up for the challenge and is a good example pf the Peter Principle. Trump did much good but it could have been much more and could have been made permanent if he moved as quickly and effectively as the Democrats are now doing.
