Right, packing the court is the nuclear option.

I remember the 70s when the democrats controlled the house, the senate and the presidency. We had double digit inflation and lots of unemployment. We were still able to live our lives. Today's government is bad. But I think we can still live our lives.

Two women I know have recently been physically attacked for not wearing their masks. People in this country actually think it's ok to assault somebody for not wearing a mask. The country is finished, no doubt. The cowards are in control.

That said, I marvel at the calls to fight. Fight for what? Against who? I have honest confusion on this. When in modern history has a population rose up and defeated a totalitarian regime? Wasn't the last time with guillotines? I'm all ears on this, guys.

A while back I was listening to an interview of Ed Seykota. He's an investor/trader I respect. The topic came up that I'm very interested in - how do you invest in this changing environment. His answer blew me away because it was the first time I heard somebody say what I was thinking. It was along the lines of, "Sure, we have this environment of the Fed blowing these bubbles, increased regulations, higher taxes, etc. But, I just see it as a natural transition (of increasing government largess) like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. (minus the beauty of course). I accept it and invest accordingly. It's like if somebody close to you is dying. There's nothing to 'fix'. It's part of life." That said, the answer for Objectivsts may be going Galt as best they can. It may be like a modern version of Anne Frank, which is a very sad proposition - that's not an existence. I think of it regularly because my mother-in-law is an elderly French lady who dodged the Nazis when they took over her little town in northern France. She hid from them as best she could. And, the stories she has shared with me about that have really grabbed me and are much like that opening scene in Inglourious Bastards.FWIW, Hitler simply bribed the elected officials and police before coming into France, making the invasion nothing more than a parade. Sound familiar?

If your not willing to stand up and fight it is all over. Many of the founders of this country gave there fortune, family, and their own lives to begin this great nation. I am willing ask yourself, are you.

Thank you freedom trail, I agree. Keep your powder dry.

Yep, I understand. It's also where ALL the corruption starts and ends in this country. And, even though I don't understand too much about ANYTHING Federal Reserve (except, of course, the obvious excess money printing=dollar devaluation. Hence, just ANOTHER tax WE pay.) last Spring, I was told that Trump with the 1st COVID stimulus had it absorbed into Treasury. A step towards abolishment? Make the Fed print insane amounts of money to ultimately hang the debt onto the Central Banks and bankrupt them. That's what I'm hearing is the strategy. Shrug And, that's why Janet Yellen is "Treasury Secretary" now and not Fed Chairman? Shrug again. You'll have to tell me if that's plausible because I don't know. It's just how it has been presented to me.

I believe in this video of one of Trump's last speeches before he was elected in 2016 he's specifically talking about the Fed. You can't fix it ALL without abolishing it. He doesn't strike me as someone who would say all this only to give up: https://youtu.be/G2qIXXafxCQ

It would be very serious to question the Federal Reserve. That's been done before to the detriment of many, The people behind the Fed Res are very serious folks.

I don't know. It's QUITE out of character for Donald Trump to ALLOW the election to be STOLEN from him and then just walk away.

I DON'T BUY IT.

Him walking away to let the rest of America see what they voted FOR is probably why he's been semi-quiet about it so far.

He made TOO MANY promises, said TOO MANY things that would indicate that there's MUCH more to come that we cannot see yet.

Trump pretty much did everything by the book, reinstituted Federalism, and is now letting THE PEOPLE of the states fix their own backyards with the election fraud audits and new laws being written locally.

There's a guy who was prominent on Twitter until he was banned and now writes at http://Quodverum.com who thinks that Trump transformed the military for devolution. This Newsweek article explains:
https://www.newsweek.com/exclusive-in...

I could be wrong, but I don't think Biden has done much to change the military and/or foreign policy. Maybe he CAN'T?

And, if you think about it, how can ONE MAN and all his like-minded cohorts turn back 100 years of corruption in four years? I was always wondering how he would do it in eight years! Well, he's likely working in the shadows now and will run again in 2024 to a landslide (when the fraud machine is all CLEANED up).

So, maybe it's possible a strategic genius and his friends can clean it all up, return us to a Constitutional Republic in TWELVE years.

My two cents that I'm holding out hope for and I think I see a bit of evidence to back it up.

Oh, and, just to make sure I'm prepared, I'm buying a little BitCoin, gold, and silver every month....JUST IN CASE something happens to the Federal Reserve and all. ;-)

You remind me of seeing a fly land on Pence's white-haired head when he was giving a speech or something on TV.
That made me cringe as if over a bad omen due to remembering when a fly landed on Obama's face beneath his lower lip and not even noticing it.
Days later Trump expected Pence to reject Biden's win for being rigged and nada happened.

Yeah, who knows?
There may be a successful backlash . . . or maybe it will be rigged to fail like the last POTUS election.
This is a war between good and evil and evil cheats.

Thought she was waving away the Flies that usually hover around dead and stagnant things. :-D

Of course not. Denial is not a river in Egypt.
This is the cover letter I sent:

January 7, 2021

Senator Debbie Stabenow
Washington, DC Office
731 Hart Senate Office Bldg
Washington, DC 20510-2204

Dear Senator Stabenow

I have enclosed my assessment of the recent election and its implications for our society. Now that the Democratic Party has control of all three branches of government I fear for our country. I am seventy five years old so the intended and unintended consequences will happen after I am long gone. However, my kids and grand kids will have to deal with these consequences. Sadly, legislators are only held accountable at the ballot box. As Tyler stated, “the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy.” This will be your legacy unless you step up to the plate. But then, Congress takes care of it’s own so you will be unaffected.
As I see it we are in “Hunger Games meets Brave New World and Animal Farm in 1984 where Atlas Shrugged is no longer fiction.”
I realize this letter will fall on deaf ears but at least you cannot say you were never warned.

Actually it's about time for some of the conspiracy theories to kick in. WIth all the standing in actors running things now, it's obvious it isn't working.

Did you get any response from any of them?

Well they will probably pack the court. But the final straw may be when Elizabeth Warren's idea of grabbing retirement funds gets passed.

Thanks for the upbeat post, Dino, it is needed. I get depressed for the future of the good ol' U S of A from time to time as well and have to fight sometimes to hold on to any optimism. Lately, there seems to be less and less to celebrate on behalf of what's left of Free America with the apparent conversion of the Congress of a free people into a version of Politburo and the Executive Branch looking a lot like a Bolshevik crony club. I'm assuming the Neo Communists now in charge will finish the job at the top by packing the SCOTUS and finally incinerate the Nations founding documents down the Orwellian memory hole. I'm hoping what's left of Free America can keep the lights on during what's left of my lifespan. Who knows if during that time things will improve to our favor?

January 6th is a good example of what large crowds can do.

Well, gee, haven't you noticed the silly way she flings her open hands about whenever she gives a so-called speech?

He certainly did, the traitor.
He's free to run, but he'll never get elected.
No Republican or RINO will ever hold office again.

"Street Fighter" LOL, LOL, LOL

Pence thinks he can make a run for President. I think he stabbed American in the back.

Time will tell. Glad I'm old enough to remember when old-fashioned American patriotism was taught in elementary school.

Me dino thinks the Marxists are making a bad bet too.
A reckoning awaits.

That ship has sailed, DrZarkov.
The time for the military and the Oath Keepers to act was between Election Day and Inauguration Day.

It's been a long time coming, diessos.
If you get the chance, read "Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America's Enemies", by M. Stanton Evans.
The communists began implanting their creatures in our government in the 1920s.
Now they also control our systems of education, and the military is being purged of those who would follow the Constitution.

We may be the proud owners of 400 million weapons, as freedomforall states above, but I wonder what good they will do against our military.
That's where we're headed.

The punch line?
As Antifa were the stooges for the communists, so the communists are the stooges for the globalists.
The commies will gain absolute power, but not for long.
