The Ten Radical New Rules That Are Changing America

There are ten new ideas that are changing America, maybe permanently.

1) Money is a construct. It can be created from thin air. Annual deficits and aggregate national debt no longer matter much.

Prior presidents ran up huge annual deficits, but at least there were some concessions that the money was real and had to be paid back. Not now. As we near $30 trillion in national debt and 110 percent of annual GDP, our elites either believe that permanent zero-interest rates make the cascading obligation irrelevant, or that the larger the debt, the more likely we will be forced to address needed income redistribution.

2) Laws are not necessarily binding anymore. Joe Biden took an oath to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” But he has willfully rendered federal immigration laws null and void. Some rioters are prosecuted for violating federal laws, others not so much. Arrests, prosecutions, and trials are all fluid. Ideology governs when a law is still considered a law.

Crime rates do not necessarily matter. If someone is carjacked, assaulted, or shot, it can be understood to be as much the victim’s fault as the perpetrator’s. Either the victim was too lax, uncaring, and insensitive, or he provoked his attacker. How useful the crime is to the larger agendas of the Left determines whether a victim is really a victim, and the victimizer really a victimizer.

Yeah, it is counter intuitive, I admit.

America is occupied. It is occupied by the brutal forces of the democrat party, media, Chicoms, the never Trump GOP and SA street thugs BLM and Antifa.

These people and groups variously compose The Party. Historically, authoritarian regimes use fictitious tales of treason as the pretext for crushing their political rivals and cowing their citizens into submission. Propaganda organs parrot the regime’s party line while less compliant media are censored.

We can vote all we want, but having pulled off the greatest electoral con and coup in our history, The Party will never relinquish power.

In Occupied America.

Yeah, it’s a repost. It seemed appropriate.

Except for an Article V COS and the Electoral College, The Party occupies all of the high ground. It is silly to attack where the enemy is strong.

I am approaching 76 and I am neither an engineer or an economist. I do know one thing though, when I was 23 I was already considered a failure because even though I had a high school diploma, had served a three year active duty tour in the US Navy, had an electronics certificate for completion of a 38 week Navy school, was employed in the manufacturing engineering department of a bearing factory, was renting a three bedroom house and driving a NEW 1967 Mustang I was still a single man. One sixty year old woman I had just met actually told me to my face that I should be ashamed of myself because I was not married yet!!! Compare that to today when my step grandson at the same age is a hero because he is an employed college graduate even though he owes a huge debt for college tuition and his income when adjusted for inflation is lower than mine was at the same age. I am proud of his accomplishments but I shudder to think what kind of future he is facing in this mad world.
