Taxpayers are not "shareholders."
If we are, how do we sell our shares?
How do we get out of funding the SBA?
A shareholder has a choice. Own or do not own.
How do we sell? 
$50 million for condoms ... $45 million for DEI in Burma.
Yes, these are attention getters.
But we're talking about peanuts here.
Let's discuss the expenses of (needlessly) having 1000 military bases all over the world.
China has 1 base in Africa. That's it!
They don't waste their money on empire. Why should we? 
President Trump, it’s one thing to send illegals out of America.
That pertains to us Americans.
But to “clean out” Palestinians from Gaza is not for you to do, or to advocate.
That harms our image around the world, and makes Americans look like we support ethnic cleansing. 
Get rid of the TSA.
No one has a greater incentive for the security of their property, employees and customers than the airlines themselves.
The airlines have also have the added incentive of not to act like an arrogant bully when providing the security. 
Banking, in and of itself, is a great industry.
However (like everything else) when you mix power, greed, and a lust for control, you get terrible mischief.
Ever since Christ overturned the tables of the money changers, humanity has been dealing with the same story.
I just came across a quote from the 1830's, when President Andrew Jackson closed down the central bank at the time, called the Second Bank of the United States.
(Yes, the Federal Reserve is not the first central bank that Americans have suffered under.)
Here's what Jackson said when he shut down the Second Bank. Notice how the same words can be said today:
"Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time, and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank…You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out.”
Jackson did rout them out, and this was the only time period in U.S. history when the national debt was ZERO.
But alas, the power-hungry regrouped and came back, ultimately with the Federal Reserve in 1913.
And, now, WE (you and I) live in an America that has $36 TRILLION in debt (that's a long way from ZERO).
Our country has been bankrupted both morally and economically.
The new thing is to move into "crypto," which like any other form of money will have its positives and negatives.
I don't know what the future holds, but one thing is for sure...
We need to beware the power-hungry who will certainly desire the use of "crypto" as a way to satisfy their lust for control.
Before RFK's Senate confirmation to boot! https://m.primal.net/NwYI.webp
This is the stuff that concerns me about the goodwill that Trump has built up.
The mRNA people slip into mix, while Americans celebrate the good things that Trump has done so far.
Really President Trump?
The "vaccine" peddlers needs to be shown the door, not given a podium. 
This is especially for my Christian friends…
I have no issue with shooting for Mars or any other planet.
But I say go even bigger if inspiration is what is desired.
Shoot for Heaven.
First, because there is nothing higher or greater, or more inspiring.
Second, it takes your entire life, so boredom and the law of diminishing returns is out.
You can’t suffer from “well what do we do now that we’ve reached Mars?”
Third, it’s easily the hardest work imaginable. Lack of challenge is not an issue.
Bank account doesn’t matter and money is not the desired object.
Finally, success or failure is as personal as it can get.

Trump gave us a bunch of good news yesterday.
Today, comes some bad news.
Not another penny or weapon should go to Israel (or any other nation). 
"All" ?
"Were" ?
No more Deep State?
That’s it?
No...of course not.
By definition, members of the Deep State are not the people known to the public. And they're still very much there. 
America was supposed to have a limited government ...
And did for awhile.
But then the American people were duped into believing in a scientifically "progressive" utopia, and here we are with the results.
The "scientific experts" have created the biggest scams in world history, and are pardoned for their crimes BEFORE they're even charged with them.
Meanwhile, the "scientific experts" remain vigilantly busy in brainwashing the public into falling for the mother of all scams -- "climate change."
The "climate change" scam will make Fauci look like an amateur, should it "succeed" in the way that the Covid scam succeeded.
I’m certainly happy that Trump is president.
But I don’t like ANY politician having a messianic mystique about them.
Trump is human and the self-proclaimed father of the “beautiful vaccines.”
So he’s an imperfect human like everyone else.
Every repetition of “thanks to Trump” and “because of Trump” racks up a lot of chips.
Those chips can be used for good, or ill.
Every nefarious actor knows this, and will certainly be angling to have those chips cashed in on their own scam, utopia and/or war.
For those who oppose scams (should they occur) it’ll be an uphill battle against the army of people who put too much trust in Trump. 
Bill Buckley said that to battle the Soviets, “we have got to accept Big Government for the duration” and “a totalitarian bureaucracy within our shores.”
We’re still living with that totalitarianism BTW.
And now…
America will battle the Chicoms by acting like Communists.

Think of how many times the words “Are you vaccinated?” were said during the tyranny.
Hundreds of millions of times? Billions?
Only God knows the number.
And yet, when the jig was up, it turned out that not a single person was actually vaccinated.
Everyone was, and still is, unvaccinated.
Some big lies have been told in human history.
This is easily one of the biggest.
He's Not The Messiah, or The Serpent -- How To Approach The 2nd Trump Administration https://m.primal.net/NlMy.mp4
This is not a new development, but has been the case for at least 100 years...even longer.
"Oligarchy" is not one united front.
Oligarchs have different utopias that they strive to create. They each imagine that THEIR utopia is the good one.
They jockey for power against other oligarchs, and will temporarily team up with other oligarchs that are traveling in the same direction.
Democracy is rule by oligarchs.
This isn't some new development that popped up in 2024. 
No...
The press secretary (of any administration) is never an inspiration.
Lies are not inspiring...and the very job itself revolves around lies. 
Just because the Democrats look like fools (they always do) does not make Hegseth good for the job.
During the confirmation hearing Tom Cotton (ultra-war hawk) and Hegseth were trading notes about both being Christian Zionists.
That's a red flag.
I don't care how absurd the Democrats are.
Hegseth will bring "peace through strength."
Really?
Well, 'no peace' and 'no strength' costs us $1 Trillion per year.
Will "peace through strength" cost us even more?
Does "strength" mean defending America alone, as it should be...
...or defending, "aiding" and pumping weapons into lots of different foreign nations?
Real peace and real strength means one thing:
Bring the troops home....close all the overseas bases.
Robustly support Israel how?
Our taxpayer money?
American soldiers lives?
More wars?
All three?
It's one thing to have a personal opinion, and another to steer government policy for the benefit of other nations.
