Easy Money has Distorted the Economy & Rigged "Investing" in Favor of the Already Wealthy

 From Doug Ross at Substack:

There’s a social phenomenon occurring on America’s Left. Every morning it’s the same routine: wake up, brush teeth, check phone, scream about Trump. Scroll. Scream. Retweet. Scream with better grammar. It’s like Peloton for outrage — “Feel the burn! That’s democracy leaving your body!”

And this isn’t about policy. You can argue tax rates all day. This is about manufactured outrage. It’s like they’re binge‑watching a reality show called The Orange Menace while their own cities descend into crime- and poop-filled hell-holes.

THE DIAGNOSIS: “Why the Left Can’t Look Away”

The picture above diagnoses why so many on the left fixate on Trump while ignoring a cascade of Democratic failures: the catastrophic Afghanistan withdrawal, the war on American energy independence, the open borders debacle, the fascination with freeing serial criminals, the economic destruction of blue zones, etc.

Six forces work together inside the mind: tribal identity, institutional capture of media and academia, algorithmic bubbles, the social reward of looking morally superior, outrage addiction, and the need to protect professional status. The coverage data shows the asymmetry isn’t imagined — it’s measurable. The key insight: a lot of anti-Trump obsessives are not mentally ill. They’re responding rationally to a system that rewards one-sided vigilance and punishes honest self-reflection

This picture offers an honest path forward for liberals who want to break free from tribal reflex without abandoning their actual values. Seven concrete steps — from naming Democratic failures to reading primary sources to following respected conservatives — build the habits of real citizenship. The scenario watchlist gives readers a way to predict what’s next: either the left reforms its institutions and recovers credibility, or the obsession deepens and drives more Americans away. The real, measurable indicators to watch are media coverage parity, restored campus debate, and the return of inter-party friendship as a social norm.

Easy Money has Distorted the Economy & Rigged "Investing" in Favor of the Already Wealthy

 

From Quoth the Raven on Substack

The widening wealth inequality gap is the political third rail nobody in power truly ever wants to touch.

Politicians will scream at each other all day over taxes, healthcare, immigration, tariffs, student loans, climate policy, or whatever outrage is currently driving engagement on cable news and social media. But the second the conversation turns toward monetary policy, toward the machinery of money creation itself, the room suddenly gets very quiet.

 M2 Money Supply (1959-2026) via MacroTrends:

That’s because monetary policy has quietly become the single most powerful force reshaping wealth distribution in modern America. And unlike the endless partisan theater surrounding fiscal policy, monetary intervention oddly enjoys remarkable bipartisan support.

Republicans and Democrats may pretend to be existential enemies on television, but when it comes to flooding the financial system with dollars, both parties reliably fall into line. And that support is precisely why this topic is politically radioactive: once people understand how the system works, the illusion of two competing economic ideologies starts to collapse. Republicans want less spending, Democrats want higher taxes…but both parties want the Fed to keep printing dollars.

Since the early 2000s, and especially after 2008 and the COVID era, America has effectively entered a permanent regime of monetary intervention. Quantitative easing, near-zero interest rates, endless debt monetization, emergency lending facilities, and the mainstream acceptance of Modern Monetary Theory-adjacent thinking have fundamentally altered the structure of markets beyond recognition.

When Ben Bernanke first rolled out quantitative easing during the 2008 financial crisis, Americans were repeatedly assured it was a temporary emergency measure. Bernanke described the programs as targeted interventions designed to stabilize markets and support recovery, not permanently redefine the financial system.

QE1 was supposed to calm panic. Then came QE2. Then Operation Twist. Then QE3 became effectively open-ended, with the Fed purchasing tens of billions in bonds every month indefinitely. What began as a supposedly temporary crisis tool metastasized into a permanent feature of the modern economy. And every subsequent crisis only justified bigger interventions: larger balance sheets, lower rates, more liquidity, more market dependence on central bank support.

The Federal Reserve’s balance sheet exploded from under $1 trillion before 2008 to nearly $9 trillion after the pandemic era. Like nearly every government “emergency” program in history, the temporary measure never truly disappeared, it simply normalized, expanded, and embedded itself deeper into the system. Which is to say…the old rules are dead.

Historical stock/bond valuation metrics increasingly feel meaningless because markets are no longer functioning inside anything resembling a closed system governed by organic price discovery and economic fundamentals.

Investors used to rely on earnings multiples, historical averages, bond yields, and economic cycles because those metrics assumed markets were constrained by actual capital and relatively stable money supply growth.

Now we operate inside a permanently distorted financial system where trillions of dollars can be electronically created and injected into markets whenever instability appears. The market is no longer primarily driven by productivity or efficient allocation of capital. It is driven by liquidity. Price discovery has been replaced by intervention dependency and risk has been socialized while gains remain privatized.

And every time markets threaten to correct naturally, policymakers intervene to ensure asset prices do not fall far enough to inflict meaningful pain on the people who own the overwhelming majority of financial assets. And the consequences of this have been staggering.

While both parties bitch and moan about affordability, protecting the middle and lower class, and “equity”, one of the clearest signs of this Fed-created distortion is the explosive growth of the ultrawealthy class. According to The Wall Street Journal, there are now roughly 430,000 American households worth more than $30 million, including approximately 74,000 households worth over $100 million. The growth of these groups has dramatically outpaced overall population growth over the past several decades.

In other words, Fed policy, blessed by both political parties, is widening the wealth inequality gap both political parties claim to fighting against. This staggering chart shows the result of endless QE: the rich get richer…which would normally be fine with me, I’m a capitalist…except the top 1% are getting richer faster and at the expense of the middle and lower class’ loss purchashing power. When it comes to purchasing power, we are literally taking from the poor, and giving to the rich.

https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xg0l!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbbbe0ac7-b9b6-4b7f-b4f9-ae806fe71cf6_1508x958.png 

And this is the direct mathematical outcome of an economic system designed to inflate asset prices continuously. The Wall Street Journal cited research showing that the inflation-adjusted wealth of the top 0.1% has increased more than thirteenfold over the past fifty years. Meanwhile, the bottom half of the country spent decades struggling merely to maintain positive net worth.

Think about how insane that divergence really is. Fed policy has caused the wealth of the rich to escape into another dimension entirely while much of the country got buried under inflated housing costs, inflated healthcare, inflated tuition, inflated insurance, inflated food prices, and stagnant purchasing power. It’s a policy that directly benefits the “haves” and disproportionately burdens the “have nots” (think about owning a house while prices rise, versus trying to a buyer of your first house while prices rise).

Nearly 72% of the wealth held by the top 0.1% consists of stocks, mutual funds, and private businesses — precisely the assets supercharged by quantitative easing and artificially suppressed interest rates, the piece notes.

This is the hidden engine underneath modern inequality.

When central banks flood the system with liquidity, the money does not magically disperse evenly across society. It enters through banks, financial institutions, government spending channels, debt markets, and asset purchases. The first recipients of newly created money benefit before inflation fully spreads through the broader economy.

https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kF1q!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fea7f5b4e-a6d2-4482-b1d1-b997ac328bb8_3040x2024.jpeg 

By the time ordinary people feel the effects, prices have already risen. The wealthy own appreciating assets. The middle and lower classes primarily own wages and cash. And wages are always the last thing to adjust.

So while asset holders watch their net worth explode upward, ordinary families experience the opposite reality: homes become unattainable, groceries spike, savings accounts become meaningless, and generations are pushed further away from financial stability.

And the most inconvenient truth for all of Washington is that politicians love pretending to be horrified by affordability crises while continuing to support the exact monetary regime producing them.

They complain about housing costs after years of suppressing rates and inflating real estate prices. They complain about inequality after engineering one of the largest asset booms in modern history. They talk endlessly about helping “working families” while simultaneously creating trillions of dollars that overwhelmingly benefit the people who already own the overwhelming majority of financial assets.

And both parties are complicit, which is what makes the entire charade so grotesque. Both parties scream about fiscal deficits when politically convenient. Yet both become remarkably comfortable with monetary expansion so long as markets remain elevated and the reckoning gets delayed beyond the next election cycle.

Consider the rhetoric around interest rates over the past several years.

President Trump has repeatedly pressured the Federal Reserve for lower rates and easier monetary conditions, arguing that tighter policy threatened markets and growth. Elizabeth Warren has also pushed for looser monetary policy from the opposite ideological direction, warning that higher rates could weaken the labor market and hurt workers.

Different rhetoric, same addiction. The right frames easy money as pro-growth, the left frames easy money as compassionate.But both roads lead to the same destination: more liquidity, higher asset prices, and widening wealth inequality. What’s the last thing President Trump and Elizabeth Warren agreed on?

This is why the supposed economic divide between the parties increasingly feels performative. Beneath the culture war circus exists a deeper bipartisan consensus: financial markets must remain inflated at all costs.

And the lower and middle class gets absolutely brutalized in this arrangement.

Historically, middle-class wealth accumulation depended on disciplined saving, stable employment, affordable housing, and gradual investment appreciation over time. But inflationary monetary regimes destroy the reliability of all of those pathways. Savings become punishment, cash becomes a melting ice cube, young people are forced into speculative assets (or outright becoming gambling addicts) simply to attempt to preserve purchasing power. Conservative investing gets punished while reckless leverage gets rewarded.

Entire generations now feel compelled to try and make quick money in markets not because they are greedy, but because monetary debasement has made traditional financial prudence nonviable. This creates an economy built less on productivity and innovation and more on asset inflation, debt expansion and outright speculation.

And inflation itself is particularly nefarious because it operates invisibly. It steals purchasing power quietly, gradually, and often incomprehensibly. Most people do not connect central bank balance sheets to why they suddenly cannot afford the same standard of living they had five years earlier. They simply feel squeezed. They work harder, save less, delay families, postpone homeownership, drown in debt, and wonder why prosperity always seems permanently out of reach.

The theft of their purchasing power happens in the darkness. Unlike direct taxation, monetary debasement allows everyone involved to avoid accountability. Instead of openly taxing citizens to fund endless spending and bailouts, the system simply dilutes the value of everyone’s currency. And the people causing the inflation are usually insulated from its consequences because they own the very assets inflated by the policy itself.

That is why luxury demand continues exploding even while ordinary consumers struggle. The Wall Street Journal recently noted booming demand for Ferrari, Hermès, luxury Manhattan real estate, and private aviation among the ultrawealthy even as many middle-class consumers pull back spending elsewhere. That is not a healthy economy, that is a bifurcated economy.

And Modern Monetary Theory only pushes this logic to its most dangerous extreme. MMT advocates often speak in sanitized academic language about sovereign currency issuance and functional finance, but the real-world result is painfully simple: endless money creation distorts prices, rewards asset holders, punishes savers, and accelerates inequality. A society cannot print its way to genuine prosperity forever, it can only redistribute claims on existing prosperity while weakening the currency denominator underneath the entire system.

The defenders of perpetual intervention always insist the alternative would be catastrophic…markets would crash, unemployment would rise, and recession would follow. There is truth in that argument. The system has become so addicted to liquidity that withdrawal now threatens immense instability.

But that only exposes the deeper problem. A market that cannot survive without permanent monetary life support is no longer a healthy market, it is a managed dependency system. A patient on hospice care. And every bailout pushes the reckoning further into the future while making the eventual consequences even worse.

That is why so many people feel like the game is rigged even when official economic statistics appear healthy. GDP can rise. Stock indices can hit all-time highs. Unemployment can remain low. Yet millions of people still feel poorer because the underlying structure increasingly funnels gains upward while socializing losses downward. If the bond market eventually needs a bailout, which I have speculated it may, this would be a great lesson for us to remember and empower ourselves with.

What Happened When Islamists Ruined Lebanon

Beirut used to be called the Paris of the Middle East with a majority Christian population. Now, it's a bombed out hulk, thanks mostly due to scumbag Islamists (who ruin everything)

Beirut: From Paris of the Middle East to Tragic Capital

From The Times Now Authored by: Namya Sinha Updated Apr 1, 2026, 14:55 IST:

Beirut, once the Paris of the Middle East, flourished with art, fashion, and nightlife, only to be repeatedly battered by continuous conflict, most recently Israel’s armed clashes with Muslim Hezbollah. The ongoing violence is devastating a city that has long struggled to survive and reclaim its lost glory. (Thanks Iran.)

Lebanon has again become a war zone. Israel struck Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, claiming to have targeted a “senior Hezbollah commanders” and another member of the group. Earlier in March, Lebanon had been pounded by Israel after the Iran-backed proxy group Hezbollah fired rockets, following a US-Israel strike on Iran. The conflict has caused massive destruction and displaced millions of people.

Amidst this, cities long celebrated for their cultural heritage have been dealt a devastating blow. Beirut, the Lebanese capital, was once called the “Paris of the Middle East.” It is now in the throes of devastation and is being referred to as the “Tragic Capital”.

[Doug here: It’s been in consistent decline for decades now; thanks to the accommodation of Muslims in government and the resulting persecution and attacks of Christians by Muslims leading to their mass exodus from the country. 100’s of thousands of Lebanese Christians fled to escape their new hell-hole.

In plain English, this is yet another historic example of Islamic conquest. And the results of this Islamic conquest is the same for ALL the other Islamic conquests: devastation, death and misery inflicted by this ‘death cult.’]

Beirut is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Perhaps there are few cities that have been destroyed and rebuilt as often as Beirut. The war has taken its toll on the metropolis, located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, destroying much of its heritage and architecture.

Between 1955 and 1975, Beirut witnessed its golden age. It was a cosmopolitan city known for its vibrant culture, French architecture, Lebanese cuisine, fashion, art, and lifestyle. “Hamra Street was likened to the Champs-Élysées of Beirut, lined with fashion stores, theatres, restaurants, cafes, and hotels visited by artists, poets, writers, and intellectuals. There were more than a dozen cinemas on Hamra Street alone, including the famous Eldorado, the Piccadilly, and the Versailles, cementing Beirut’s title as the cinema capital of the region,” wrote Georgina Noack for The Nightly.

During its golden age, Beirut became a thriving fashion capital of the Middle East. Designers and tailors from the city gained international acclaim, as they brought together traditional Lebanese embroidery with European haute couture. They were coveted by celebrities. Hamra Street and surrounding districts were lined with chic boutiques, fashion houses, and ateliers where locals and visitors alike came to see the latest trends. It was during the civil war, that Elie Saab founded his eponymous label in 1982, specialising in wedding wear. Zuhair Murad opened his first atelier in Beirut in 1995. His designs are a tribute to the Lebanese capital, that often reflect a hint of ancient and modern at the same time. Beirut’s reputation for style and elegance became as much a part of its identity as its cafés, cinemas, and art galleries.

But the 15-year civil war from 1975 to 1990 was a brutal period for the city, from which it has never fully recovered [Doug here: a sectarian war between Christians and Muslims].

Beirut has also been home to the historic Saint-Georges Hotel, a symbol of resistance. Founded in 1932 in Saint George Bay, Ain Mreisseh, it was a destination for the rich and famous, including Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran. The hotel was severely damaged during the Lebanese Civil War’s “War of the Hotels” and was later occupied by militias and Syrian troops. In 2005, the Hariri assassination blast inflicted further wounds on the city.

In 2020, the Beirut port explosion killed more than 200 people and left thousands injured and homeless. According to UNESCO, “The two port explosions damaged some 640 heritage buildings, 60 of which were critically deteriorated.” These included the Boustany House, built in 1880, and the Tobbagi House, built in 1908, both located on Mar Mikhael Street.

Lebanon’s once-booming nightlife has also taken a heavy toll. Just last year, Israel bombed Lebanon for months, resulting in thousands of deaths. “In the area around Fizz, some of Beirut’s most famous nightclubs were converted into displacement shelters for those fleeing the violence,” wrote Madeline Edwards for Condé Nast Traveller.

Beirut deserves to regain the glory it has long struggled to retain and should not be allowed to die. The world must pause and ask itself whether our cities deserve such destruction, and whether the people who give them life deserve such loss.

The Biggest Election Collapse that you Haven't Heard About


 

  

 

  

The Reform Party, headed by Nigel Farage, absolutely obliterated the insane Labor Party and it’s brain-dead and despicable Prime Minister Starmer. Labor lost about 60% of it’s nationwide council seats AND the Conservatives lost about 40% of it’s nationwide seats.

The Greens also gained significant seats but Reform’s performance stood out.

To put this in perspective, and comparing this election to one in the US, you could say that Nigel Farage’s Reform victory would be the equivalent of a new upstart political party completely thrashing BOTH the Democrats AND Republicans in one giant, historic upheaval.

So, have you heard about this political crisis in the UK?? No? Most haven’t. And the idiot simp Starmer is refusing to resign!! Someone might have to put a bullet in his empty head.

This is the worst election collapse since 1931 in the UK. A true earthquake, a 9 on the Richter Scale; a catastrophe that is being “ratioed” and censored by the Deep State.

My suspicion is that coverage of this earthquake has been censored across the world by the Deep State because of the level of anger and desperation of the British people. Allowing unfettered coverage would be too similar and reminiscent to another political earthquake shaking the world; ie., Donald Trump. WE CAN’T HAVE THAT!!

Obviously Nigel and Donald are very similar common sense populists/nationalist who want to put the interests of their respective populations and civilizations at the forefront—as they should!

This election beat-down is due to the relentless destruction of that country. The UK is a complete shitshow. It’s a shitshow that’s comparable to the insanity reigning in the US prior to Trump’s big victory. Starmer=Biden. Both are/were braindead. Farage is far too similar to Trump (and WE CAN’T HAVE THAT!)

I did a search on Duck Duck Go for this 2026 election result but found this search result instead: highlighting an eerily similar election collapse in the UK in 1931. From Wikipedia:

The collapse of the British election refers to the 1931 United Kingdom general election, where the Labour Party suffered its greatest defeat, losing four-fifths of its seats, while the National Government coalition won 67% of the popular vote. This election was a response to the economic crises of the Great Depression and marked a significant shift in British politics.

You can rightly say that Britain is in a crisis similar to the Great Depression as indicated just above. That’s a true sign of our times.

OF COURSE THE DEEP STATE WANTS TO HIDE THE MAGNITUDE OF THE COLLAPSE THAT IT HAS CAUSED!!!

President Trump's Breathtaking Civilizational Re-Alignment in The West, in the USA and the World

Trump is Selectively Disconnecting the US from the EU and NATO

Trump is distancing the US from these insane EU countries and in the non-EU UK. And he’s strengthened ties to Hungary, Poland, for example

The collection of Western national “leaders” in The West is stunningly appalling: crazy, brain-dead globalists Mark Carney (Canada), Kier Starmer (UK), Van der Leyen (EU), the idiot Friedrich Merz (Germany) and Macron (FR). And all these people and the US Democrats are criminals, scammers and utter disgrace. The good leaders are Christian Nationalists like Orban (now Péter Magyar) in Hungary and Karol Nawrocki in Poland who reflect their conservative majority.

Trump is putting many of these “allies” into a 2nd class category. Those that reject Western Culture are out. Those that support it are ‘favored’. Again, it’s all code words for restoring White Western Civilization. Trump is indeed pulling-out 5000 troops from Germany and is considering pulling troops from Spain, Italy, Germany (and UK?):

 

 

JAPAN Elects a Trump-like Prime Minister. Now China is Firmly in Trump’s Cross-hairs

Japan has elected a solid, principled Conservative prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, in a landslide vote. She is similar to Trump in her bold policy stances; which includes support for a new strong and muscular defense to counter-balance China and N.Korea. In short, Japan is basically re-arming. She is stiffening immigration controls to exclude more non-Asian and non-Japanese. She is a staunch defender of Japanese culture—as she should.

Takaichi has immediately joined the US in challenging China’s ridiculous territorial claims to the Entire South China Sea. She’s sailed Navy destroyers in waters close to China/Taiwan. Here is a map of their claims that CAN NOT STAND and WILL NOT STAND (red dashed line):

 https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!vQVo!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9407c533-6ece-400d-9ba2-aab856fd58ab_400x300.jpeg

 Most of the world operates within the UNCLOS agreement which gives each sea-facing country the right to exploit sea waters out to 200 miles for their own exclusive economic use. It is the basis for every offshore drilling leasing programs for nearly every country in the world including the US. It allows for exclusive rights to mine, drill for oil/gas or to fish or farm in their blocks. Only China has made ridiculous claims that contradict the UNCLOS. China even brought their case to the UN Court in Brussels and lost their case (as they should). But that hasn’t stopped their non-stop harassment of ALL their neighbors.

Also, China’s claims to “ownership” of Taiwan is very spurious. See my post Does Modern China Really Have any Valid Claim on Taiwan? No, Not Really. It’s just another territorial land grab to ‘digest’ and steal their technology and their super-high tech industry—similar to their takeover of Hong Kong. This is why Communists are historically expansionary. They fail to innovate due to central planning and must “conquer” thriving economic areas (like Hong Kong and Taiwan) to bolster their failures.

Basically communism is DESTRUCTIVE and PARASITIC. This is why Communists always push for territorial expansion. It’s the same for Leftists of ANY type.

Leftist/Communist governments can’t produce real prosperity for long. China did, but it was the ‘free’ capitalistic-side of their economy that produced all the economic gains after Deng Xiaoping. The State-owned enterprises just destroy money. It worked for decades. But now with Trump’s tariff regime, extremes of China’s debt and their demographic slowdown, their economy has cooled markedly—thus the need to inject fresh blood, ie., like seizing Taiwan. They are VAMPIRES.

All Leftists are vampires and do nothing but destroy.

Trump’s tariffs and his attack on Iran’s Islamic ‘thugocracies,’ including the Hamas, Hezbollah and Hamas THUGS are also designed to exacerbating China’s ongoing collapse. China’s overland “Belt and Road” initiative has been just another costly exercise in “central planning-run-amok” by the regime. The terminus of their “belt and road” is Iran and it’s highly likely that the US has bombed roads and rail lines to/from China. China has generally courted Iran’s dirty regime for decades but now is forced to basically ‘sit-out’ the US military action there. The US now effectively controls China’s oil supply.

LATIN AMERICA Embracing Trumpian Conservatism

Conservativism is on the rise in Latin America, especially due to the leadership and success of President Trump but also Javier Milei and Nayib Bukele from Argentina and El Salvador, respectively. From Bing: Latin America has experienced a profound shift toward conservative leadership, with several countries now governed by right-leaning presidents. Here are key Conservative leaders and their countries

  • Argentina: Javier Milei, a far-right libertarian, won the 2023 presidential election and has strengthened his party’s position in Congress through midterm elections, emphasizing economic liberalization and security policies.

  • Chile: José Antonio Kast, a far-right politician, was elected president in 2025 with a record vote total, marking the sharpest rightward turn since the Pinochet era.

  • Bolivia: Rodrigo Paz, a center-right politician, won the 2025 presidential runoff, ending decades of leftist dominance by the MAS party.

  • Ecuador: Daniel Noboa, a center-right businessman, defeated leftist Luisa González in 2024, continuing the trend of conservative governance.

  • Honduras: Nasry Asfura, a conservative candidate, narrowly won the presidency, focusing on fiscal discipline and infrastructure investment.

  • Panama: José Raúl Mulino, a right-wing politician, defeated the incumbent center-left vice president in 2024.

  • El Salvador: Nayib Bukele, re-elected in 2024, is considered a prominent conservative leader with a focus on security and economic reforms.

  • Paraguay: The Colorado Party, a historically dominant right-wing party, continues to influence national politics, despite occasional leftist victories.

  • Dominican Republic: Luis Abinader, a center-right president, has maintained conservative policies since his election.

  • Costa Rica: Laura Fernandez Delgado, of the conservative Sovereign People’s Party, won the 2026 presidential election, emphasizing crime-fighting and continuity of conservative governance.

Trump Removes the Commie Maduro Regime and Oil is Suddenly Flowing Again—to the US

The Communist regime in Venezuela of Nicholas Maduro was decapitated and a pragmatic leader has been installed and/or emerged there. Naturally, she is allied with the US and the renewal of Venezuela oil and gas production has commenced now that US oil/gas stakeholders have access to their assets again. For example, I hear that Chevron is once again importing and refining some 250,000 barrels of oil per day into US Gulf coast refineries (refineries built for VZ heavy oil).

Cuba is next

The communist disaster of Cuba is literally falling apart; everything is failing: the electric grid is not functioning as free oil from “Communist” Venezuela is finished given that Maduro has been removed. It’s only a matter of time.

There is a severe humanitarian crisis there. People are starving. There is zero money —except for the select elites. Cuba has been run by a type of Mafia. Trump is hinting that he’s going to “takeover” Cuba soon.

Leftism is a disaster wherever it’s found.

Canada is Literally Falling Apart; Alberta Appears Ready to Join/Align with Trumpian America. Next is Saskatchewan.

The vastly incompetent/brainwashed Globalist boot-licking “leadership” of Mark Carney in Canada, like the EU, is incredibly bad and intentionally destructive. Carney is the worst!

Where do they find these people?

Now western provinces are being led to secession by Alberta. They have a referendum to approve a secession vote this fall. If Alberta leaves Canada, then Saskatchewan could easily be next. Could others secede? Might Carney get “Starmered”?

Trump has already made agreements to increase oil/gas pipeline flows from Alberta energy after a split. Delegates from Alberta remain in touch with the Trump White House. There is a natural conservative and cultural alignment between many western Canadian provinces and the US.

Trump Exposes and Conquers the Insane US Democrats

Trump’s most important domestic feat has been to antagonize, disrupt, expose the insane US Democrat party as an entirely criminal enterprise of cheaters, liars, fools and insane people! It’s been remarkable to watch Democrat’s emotional and intellectual implosion into Trump hatred (TDS). It’s gotten to the point that if Trump invented the cure for cancer, that the Democrats would declare that they love and support cancer! Their emotional, knee-jerk anti-Trumpism has put their entire party in the losing side of an 80/20 issues that most matter to voters. We’re witnessing their emotional, brain-dead implosion into insanity.

Trump’s Battle Against Islam; the Giant, Historical Enemy of Modern Civilization

Trump, in his first term, began the re-organization the entire Middle East with the “Abraham Accords” which began to normalize the entire Middle East (ex-Iran and it’s proxies) into a peace and cooperation agreement with Israel and includes the UAE, and even potentially Saudi Arabia. It’s probably going to expand. Here’s the summary from Bing:

The Abraham Accords were signed on September 15, 2020, in Washington, D.C., under the mediation of the United States during President Donald Trump’s administration, marking the first formal recognition of Israel by Arab states since Jordan in 1994 and Egypt in 1979. The initial signatories were Israel, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Bahrain, followed by Morocco, Sudan, and Kazakhstan in subsequent years. The accords were named after Abraham, symbolizing the shared heritage of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity

The Abraham Accords is uniting many of the reform-minded Sunnis in the Middle East with Israel and the US into a convention of modernity, prosperity and peace.

Where’s Trump’s Nobel prize?? All he gets is hate and derision.

With our ongoing conflict with Iran and it’s evil partners; ie, Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah and China, we’re witnessing yet another battle in the war for Western Civilization; a war dating back to 700 AD.

I’m talking about Trump’s war against the worst of the worst Islamists: the antediluvian Shiite Muslims in Iran and ALL of their proxies. We’re talking about the remaining medieval nightmare of Shia Islamists from Gaza, Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis and Iran --all “head-choppers” and “goat fuckers” with guns --backed by China---who are enemies of civilization and modernity. They are all worshippers in a brutal, thuggish DEATH cult.

The Abraham accord countries are mostly Sunnis that are shown below in the dark colored majority Sunni countries:

Most Sunni Muslim countries now aligned with the US and Israel under the Abraham Accords

Ask the Iranian refugees in The West what they think about this dethroning of the mostly-Shiite Muslim evil in their country or even in the Middle East? Oh wait, you don’t have to! The Iranian diaspora are all for Trump and openly cheering him on here and there!

Spain and Europe Insanely Welcoming Their Historical Enemy Back into their Countries

Spain (and the entire EU idiocracy) are the latest examples of historical ignorance--with their insane importion of their historical enemy, ie., Muslims, and allowing them back into Europe en masse. It’s as if they are intentionally trying to destroy Spain and Europe.. They are giving their historical enemy welcome mats! It’s a true culture war!! Don’t these Leftists ever read the history of Islamic war and occupation??

Europe is embracing a 2nd Islamic invasion and occupation by this same regressive force of evil that invaded and occupied them in the 7th century AD. They basically destroyed ALL of Christendom, who then held on until 1492; and really until 2025 in some places. Maybe Christianity is the current target for destruction in The West?

The war against ancient and un-reformed Islam rages. It’s a war for principled and prosperous modern civilization. Similarly we’re in a war against Communism and Leftism, the other historical nightmares failing miserably in Cuba, Venezuela, China and everywhere else. These are the last remnants of failed thinking. Could it be possible that, soon, we might be seeing the set-up for many decades of world peace/prosperity once the culture wars are finished---not unlike the period after WWII?

If so, we’ll have to give a good deal of credit to our Grey Champion in this Fourth Turning crisis: Mr. Trump.

New York City's Spending Is Higher Than the STATE of Florida. What??

DeSantis pointed out that New York City, with roughly 8 million residents, operates a budget larger than Florida’s. But get this: Florida has a massive 23.7 million residents or almost 3 times NYC’s population.

But Communist Mam-dummy, never will have enough money. He’s crying for more! It’s ridiculous.

 

DeSantis said “New York City with 8 million people has a larger budget than the entire state of Florida and yet our infrastructure is better, our roads are better, services are better.”

Florida’s 2025–26 fiscal budget is just $1.5 billion or slightly larger than New York City’s. But New York City has three times fewer residents than Florida — 8.48 million versus 23.3 million — its per-capita spending far outpaces that of the Sunshine State’s.

The Sunshine State’s current spending plan totals $117.4 billion, compared with New York’s $115.9 billion — a difference of 1.3%.
