My employer has fired an enormous Amy of people obeying government orders. They’re at 1/3 capacity on customers. People, most professionals, are looking for other work. That’s typical.

That’s the non media censored world right now.

Talking with my liberal family yesterday -before the press conference fiasco- they were not so know it all as usual. She tried to get in a few ideas based on views set by the Dems decades ago. Finally she said, “I don’t watch the news”. I haven’t paid attention since blah blah blah.

I think overwhelmed at their lack of information …which works for her as she allows her family to bombard her with leftist ideology.

And not just her, The leftist voters I know are now claiming that it is virtuous to “turn off the news”

We are already in system collapse in isolated locations such as LA and NYC. The question is whether the collapse will spread

The more charitable assumption would of course be the former, but I suspect if that it is at least willful.

I believe you are one of those “constitutional conservatives” that think Cubans born in Canada are naturally Americans.

Answer: Yes.


Answer: No. There will be bad recessions but no collapse. We’ll continue slouching towards Gomorrah as the great American Experiment is put into the dustbin of history.

The Unioarty will be able to continue kicking the economic can due to the fully bipartisan nature of the ongoing coup. There is no opposition party to the progressive-corportist alliance. Plan accordingly.

The best view of the American Collapse is in a rear view mirror.

No one votes FOR a man like Joe Biden. They vote AGAINST his opponent. Trump had many innovative ideas, but he also pissed off a lot of people along the way, not all of whom were Democrats. Heck, he pissed me off more than once and I voted for the man. That’s why I think Trump is better suited to being kingmaker than our 2024 candidate.

"Radical socialism, nationalization, corruption, jailing opponents, and the destruction of constitutional norms were the culprits."

Well, that sure sounds familiar, doesn't it..?

You are quite right.

The 81 million voter question needs to be challenged.

My guess is 2024 results will prove that number to an obvious fraud.

But one cannot recognize the wrong path if the media deprives us of the relevant information nor we cannot alter course if we are denied the freedom of speech to generate a consensus to change course and, finally, we cannot change course if we have not the rule of law that protects this recovery process.


There are no words that can say it better..

An excellent post.

I hope some young enterprising energetic young person will post this in many public places.

It is too long to put on a cap, but it should be another “MAGA”.

I think that’s what Trump and the patriots have in mind. I doubt you will ever see the federal buildings full of bureaucratic workers again. The govt will be much smaller. Thank God. Most govt will be pushed back to the states where its supposed to be.

Stop the descent? Not our gutless elected leaders.

For example, has there been an elected leader step up and loudly proclaim the simple truth that people cannot change their gender by identification and to STFU about it?

"The images we see in main stream media are choreographed to show rampant crime, riots, chaos, as seeming random acts, in order to demoralize."

So, what are you saying.?? Maybe we have no need to fear the murder, drugs, invasion from the south, all the homeless wondering the streets.??

Our own FIB running false flag campaigns against the American people isn't a problem?

There really IS no plan by the "One-worlders" to destabilize the US.. And maybe what happened in Afghanistan, with the loss of roughly 10 billion dollars worth of military equipment to a bunch of cave dwelling islamic madmen was just an honest mistake by a goofy old man, is that it.??

Asking for a friend... :)
