Unseen,

I’m well aware of all of the arguments about disincentives and creating dependencies when it comes to taxation. I haven’t been living under a rock. I’m also aware of the “rising tide floats all boats” which can also be used in favor of taxing the rich, who would benefit from a society made more stable by reducing…

“And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.” (read the comments too).

Descent into madness or Trump’s America?

It is surreal. I think Bannon described it as a strategy in which there is literally an enfilade of shit from Trump that is so constant that we the people are inured to it and so it is normalized. The bar is so low you can’t see a bar. Think back not too distant to Watergate. Politicians on both sides put…[Read more]

Trump only understands who is kissing his ass at the moment. The man knows nothing about geopolitics, economics, science or history. He will instantly turn on you. The fact that so many Americans fell for his vile bullshit heartbreaking.

When I look around, many boomers are on board the MAGA train, but surprisingly it is the mid-life crisis set.…[Read more]

When my brokerage portfolio first hit the $2M mark, it was like some sort of trigger. I had all these financial tax advisors calling/emailing me about having consultations to reduce my future taxes. I ignored all that. Then I got hit with an IRS audit, LOL. I think they are satisfied with paperwork, but who knows, DOGE was firing a bunch of them,…[Read more]

@ Enco I asked an AI how much does the average middle-class person pay in Federal Income Tax as a percentage and received this answer: A middle-class married couple filing jointly might fall into the 12% bracket (taxable income between $23,851 and $96,950) or the 22% bracket (taxable income between $96,951 and $206,700). Now what…

I wonder what survivors of 9/11 have to say about all this?

That was one of my first thoughts today when I heard the rambling speech he made.  I also thought about what the family of the WaPo journalist Jamal Khashoggi must be thinking. Of course Trump would not mention that. He does not care about what happened him. Or maybe he really does…[Read more]

Robert,

I do have hope that when slimy gen z and boomers die off, they will take most of the racism and religious- inspired hatred with them.

That’s just a step away from Antifa wanting to accelerate the process. I believe you once said you were 45, clearly within the Gen-X timeline. Are you sure you want to add i…

Enco, i am searching, looking under rocks and in caves for someone who is not that way!

So i had the Silver part right. Weird how the recesses of our mind we can’t always access or only fragments from the depths of our consciousness.

I am hearing more and more recently about the woke right. And i would have bet my life against a dollar that if…[Read more]

Minnesota runs a serious trade deficit on Mangos with Mexico. They should put a tariff on Mexican mangos.

Robert,

I have read about that MSG rally. What it does not say is how there were bad assed Jews from Murder Incorporated who showed up and disrupted it. There was also a Nazi movement in California. Silver something or other. Can’t remember the name. What is interesting to me is not the fact that a too high minority of German Americans were not…[Read more]

Jews have been leading liberals in America for decades, of course. Afterall, the extreme right 1930-40s Christians were either gassing them with Zyklon B, turning them in to be gassed, or on this side of the pond, having Nazi rallies in Madison Square Garden.

Using the term “woke” is just a label…[Read more]

Here is what AI said about founders of wokeism.

There’s no single founder of “wokeism,” as it’s not a formalized ideology with a designated founder. The term “woke” has roots in Black culture, particularly within Black activism and social consciousness. The phrase “stay woke” gained prominence during the 2014 Ferguson protests, popularized by…[Read more]

I don’t have the goods on origin of wokeism but I absolutely do not excuse the cognoscenti of far left progressivism/wokeism and generalized lefty BS of deliberate Jew hate aka racism. Not an accident nor an unintended consequence of their mythology. Embracing and promoting diversity, equity and inclusion if sincerely held as a tenet of a movement…[Read more]

Taliban suspends chess over gambling concerns.

Why don’t Pentecostals have sex standing up?

Because someone might see them and think they were dancing.

@Enco – Here is some evidence. No, it is not photo-shopped 🙂

I think Wokeism started off with good ideas as a progressive ideology.  It was well intentioned, as were the people that got onboard with it. It aspired to combat all forms of discrimination. But I think (just my opinion) that Jewish concerns have been sidelined because there is a “cultural zeitgeist” (my term) that views Jews as part of the priv…[Read more]

Thanks Reg!
