Watching Republican politicians criticize Mamdani’s “collectivism” and give lip service to “free markets.”

Republicans despise free markets in practice.

They pass Big Bankruptcy Bills and grow the government like a noxious weed.

They may not pass out money to daycares, but they’ll pass it out to tech tyrants, merchants of death and foreign nations.

Republicans are “collectivists” too.

They just don’t use the word.

The Gaslighter In-Chief is at it again.

You know, it only takes 2 seconds to get this from Grok:

The most recent official BLS data show a net loss of 58,000 American manufacturing jobs from January to November 2025.

If a nation that does this is a 'global leader in artificial intelligence'...

It's a bad thing for the globe.

Poverty is a result of intangible things - greed, injustice, war, exploitation…

Government policy cannot eliminate these intangible things.

But it can help to alleviate them, if the government itself is lawful and just.

The issue that we face today is that the government EMBODIES all of the above (greed, injustice, war, exploitation) to the extreme.

We’re not just a few “policy” tweaks away from improving the condition of poverty.

We have a systemic problem.

Trump and the Republicans are so bad, that they'll most likely lose the midterms.

They deserve it.

Trump should be impeached ... but for his REAL crimes; not the usual fabrications that Democrats are so famous for.

The Left is blamed for this, and on the surface, this is correct.

But there are powers above the Left that are really responsible.

BOTH Left and Right are convinced to support policies that destroy our nation.

The Left with immigration, and the Right with never-ending foreign wars.

BOTH Left and Right are used to destroy America.

The problem is not the average person (Left or Right), who is so EASILY manipulated.

The problem is the manipulators that use both sides to destroy us.

Here’s a shortcut…

Tell Netanyahu and Zelensky:

“Not another penny to either of you.”

Done.

China has shown itself to be a nation of super-capitalists.

They show what is possible when a nation focuses on improving themselves and who don't waste all of their money (like America) on military conquest and endless wars for Israel.

Of course, despite China's ability to manipulate the material world for their benefit, China is not a place that I'd ever want to be.

They may be super-capitalists, but their ruling ideology is Communist.

No authority above the Party.

This is wrong, as God is the ultimate authority and King.

Such an error will ultimately come back to bite China at some point.

There once was a major super-capitalist and Christian nation. God was the ultimate authority. Inalienable and self-evident rights derived from Him, and not from the state.

But that nation ruined itself on militarism and endless wars for Israel.

For that American nation today, there is no king but Caesar.

No capitalism. No God. Just bankruptcy.

Johnson is completely wrong on both counts.

There are NO biblical reasons to support the modern state of Israel.

And they are NOT a “strategic ally” but an unbearable weight that has sunk our nation.

It's a sad and historical fact that when the Soviets went down, the United States and EU took up the mantle.

Ideologically, its as clear as day ... a war against anything that is true ... a war against God ...

A war against individual and sovereign nations (hello open borders).

And critically ... a militant desire to conquer the entire world and impose this on every human being.

Solzhenitsyn wrote about what it was like living in such a society.

We are there.

No doubt.

So the $20+ TRILLION in foreign investments that were supposed to happen THIS MONTH ... ?

There's only a week left.

We're Trump & Lutnick making that up?

Because that would be totally out of character for both of them.

The pivot point of humanity's earthly existence.

Time was split in two (BC and AD).

Space was split in two (we're all born and live to the East or West of the Incarnation).

“O Come, O Come Emmanuel”

Because of the (false) beliefs that Americans are trained to hold about GDP, the Trump Administration will take a "victory lap."

But GDP is a terrible government statistic.

It counts government spending as a positive.

But government spending is mostly a waste. It diverts resources into uneconomic and purely political ventures.

Government spending is a drain.

The key is real wealth production...a rising standard of living...an increase in savings rather than debt.

And we know, just by opening our eyes ... that's not happening in America. We don't need a government statistic to inform us.

Imagine those who drafted the Declaration of Independence hearing this...

We keep hearing about how hard the president works.

This is immaterial.

Lenin & Trotsky worked hard on their communist utopia.

Hard work in the wrong direction is not a virtue.

President Trump has been going in the wrong direction ... BIG TIME!

His "hard work" is of little to no value to us.

It would be better if Trump went and played golf every day.

I’m all for optimism and the benefits of technology.

But humans are humans, no matter how the material world is rearranged and reshuffled.

How will a compulsive gambler, that gets rid of every penny that comes into his possession, live in abundance?

Will he be forced to live in abundance?

What about all the people who take a vow of poverty to focus their lives completely on God?

Robots providing goods means nothing to them. They would give the goods away to the poor.

But what happens to the poor? How can a person give (which is a paramount virtue) if there are no more poor?

What happens to charity?

It disappears?

How is abundance defined?

If a billionaire were to take a day to live a middle-class life, he would feel like he’s in poverty.

But middle-class lives in America consist of an abundance of goods.

So abundance is relative.

Optimism is good.

But human nature is what it is.

I prefer that my money INCREASES in value, so that I can buy more goods with it.

I despise that the authorities counterfeit money...

...which makes my money LOSE value, so that I can buy less.

End The Fed.

All American troops should be brought home, and all the foreign bases closed.

American troops should be defending America only.

No American troops should be dying in foreign lands.

Other nations do not have these terrible tragedies, because they do not pepper troops all over the earth.

The totalitarian state will NEVER fix the problem that it created with any type of "policy" or "legislation."

The totalitarian state IS the problem.

God is life ... The totalitarian state is death.

A large enough group of American people have come to act like the American federal government.

Ever since 1898 (to be generous) the U.S. federal government has gone from one destructive war to another.

All the way to this very day.

If the US federal government doesn’t like something about a nation, force and violence are unleashed on that nation.

This attitude has not only been embraced throughout the years by enough Americans, but now the people themselves are acting the way their government acts.

Leadership matters.

The U.S. government does not change when it comes to war. It is one continuous disaster since 1898.

How will citizens under the government change when leadership refuses to give up endless war(s)?

Food for thought...

Is at least *one angle* of the Trump Administration buying stocks to condition Americans for the future?

Stocks are tremendously overvalued, and a selloff (big or small) will occur at some point.

If the selloff is significant, the Trump Administration would almost certainly try to come in to stem the selling.

Of course, bailing out the stock market would only worsen the situation, but that never phases the government one bit.

The government takes every situation and find ways to make it worse.

But perhaps this early "taking equity positions" in private corporations is a foreshadowing of what the government plans on doing in the future ... on a much bigger scale.

We're fed lies that Putin wants to overrun Europe...

While our tax dollars fund barbarism in Gaza AND Netanyahu's 'vision' of overrunning the Middle East!

America needs to cut the cord now.

Netanyahu can have his "historic and spiritual mission"...

But without America funding it or fighting it.

During the Covid scam we all saw human nature in action.

Very (very) few have courage; which is why it’s a virtue.

Most put heads down until it was safe to lift them up.

While heads were down…every BS excuse was propagated to continue the scam (like Gaza).

In the case of Gaza, it is virtually the entire U.S. government that puts their heads down.

Genocide on their watch; with their hands on the purse strings.

The people who jabbed 75% of the population with fake vaccines...

... locked them down for no reason ... and made them wear masks that didn't work ...

Are saying they're ready for nuclear war!

Maybe the "Operation Warp Speed" President can dial it back a notch.
