Amen, Mick. It is most commonly the Dems who are the big spenders – and usually by a very large margin. It is only the consistently better policies of conservatives that keep them competitive.
And you’re asserting that jimmy kimmel was a satirist?
HaHaHaHaHaHa!
Man. That is putting lipstick on a pig. 😂🤪🤣
You have not followed Minneapolis closely if you think they are on the path to social calm and serenity. Read about the Feeding Our Future scandal. All the metrics of a successful society continue to decline. It is no longer the place “where all the children are above average”. 😵💫

I have to say, I agree w/ BT. I have many, or even most of thos thoughts every day. Mine are about how otherwise-normal seeming folks can back delusional, evil thinking assholes. There are a very few sane Democrats, but mostly they get ignored. Instead you back people who encourage ALL the real political violence in the country. And Mick is right. All the noise about Jan 6 is absolutely theater. Here’s a 5-min video by three smart guys saying how excited they are about the BBB:
And you think they had some place to move the fissile material where they could seamlessly pursue their nuclear dreams? And that Israel would not detect such movement? I sure don’t have a clue, but it seems like a stretch to believe that Trump and Netanyahu are so incompetent that did not enter their mind. George W made that argument when WMD weren’t found. Could be, but I’ll bet on IDF and Mossad over your insights.
Bingo! Buchele has transformed a hellhole into a civilized productive environment. They will be much better able to attract foreign investment and their citizens will be safer and happier.
It is what Reagan did when he first came into office in 1980. Also, Javier Millei in Argentina. I am excited. In about 6-9 months it may be an opportunity to buy stocks.

A wealth tax will absolutely sink the candidate who promotes it. And if somehow it is passed will sink our economy. if you are looking to Elizabeth Warren for ideas to address the deficit, then maybe I understand. As for Sanders, he is an absolute clown. if he wins, this country will have passed from racial strife into rich vs poor. That conflict will be equally divisive. Which is, of course, precisely what Democrat are always seeking.
Until the end of the month when an election will be called. Trump’s loud support for tariffs and silly talk of making Canada the 51st state has reduced Pierre Poilevre’s once-over whelming lead over the Liberal Party. i think he will win, but I must admit, I don’t know much about Carney.
Everything you describe is conjecture about your fear of what Trump will do in the future and, as fiction, it is almost entirely not true. In fact, because progressives are totally self-absorbed, they assume that the way they have done things will almost certainly be what Trump will do – in reverse. I wish that were true, but Democrats have never had to suffer any consequences for the illegal, undemocratic and immoral things they have done for decades; certainly the period since Obama came on the scene. The vast majority of the oligopoly is on your side, BT. That’s why Kamala could raise a billion dollars for her campaign in a nanosecond because all your Soroses and Hoffmans and Steyers. You experience not getting your way for a week and you’re screaming about the extremists on the right taking away rights. Just wait. We’re only just getting started. We won’t even need to wiretap your leaders, or lie about your demonstrators. Go ahead and speak your piece. But if you get treated like the minority you have always been, just remember. Your side has been doing MUCH worse for many years. I just hope this current surge of common sense lasts for a good long while.
Zeihan is not the guy to turn to for economic insights. He is great for geopolitical insights, especially in Southeast Asia. He is mostly Keynesian.
If you’ve been following developments in Argentina over the last year you already know the blueprint Trump wants to follow. Dramatically reduce spending and simplify and eliminate regulations. Combined w/ strict control of the money supply and a simplified tax code, inflation will go away and we will be on a glide path to budget surpluses.
It’s a bit of a pet peeve for me, but I can’t keep myself from correcting folks when they say, “when Clinton balanced the budget . . .”. Of course, he did no such thing. Until the mid-terms in 1994, he did everything he could to discredit the policies in the Contract With America. As distinct from Obama, Clinton had no separate agenda to pursue, so he just turned on his heel and led the parade. Like in all things, he was an immoral opportunist who had a gift for reading political tea leaves.
