Donald Trump got sucker punched by the Covid 19 gambit in his first term. He was forced to capitulate to moronic protocols that led to mail-in voting and THAT created the chaos that concealed the Obiden steal long enough for the Club to take the presidency back in 2016.
But Trump is no dummy. He had the goods on some of the Club’s key players. That’s what the Club was looking for in the Mar-a-Lago raid. That’s what they did not find. That’s how Trump could be sure the people’s vote would put him back into office in 2020.
But this time around it’s a one-two sucker punch. First BOOM, it was the Epstein mess. Now BOOM, it is the mess in Iran. And the Club has the Donald on the ropes again.
Actually, if you have eyes to see, hindsight is 20-20. Now that we are over a year in, we can see that Trump’s trump cards weren’t much stronger than getting him dealt another hand to win the election. His pile of chips has been decreasing ever since. It’s almost as if the Club planned it this way. Controlled opposition.
For example, there’s that nasty little thing about being the “peace president” and supposedly ending eight wars that no one ever heard of, yet getting absolutely nuthin’ done about the war in Ukraine that he was supposed to end in a day or a week or whatever. Trump is starting wars now instead of ending them.
And there is a string of other losses: Losing MTG. Losing Elon Musk. Losing Rand Paul. Losing Thomas Massie. Losing Tucker Carlson. (None of them were really MAGA of course, and they are all stupid.) Losing MAHA to the (true Nazi) company Bayer over glyphosate, poking right in the eye the one real star of his administration, RFK Jr. And on and on such that Trump is fast sidelining his base as it wakes up to his capitulation to the globalist pissant class in general.
For God’s sake, does it not raise alarm bells to anyone with a non-neutered brain cell left that everything with Lindsey Graham’s stamp of approval on it is baaaaad, and that suddenly the Grahamster is all about Trump?
Yet it seems that Trump is all we’ve got if we want a competent military, strong borders, legitimate elections, a vibrant middle class, chemicals out of our food, escape from the green money-taking machine, and even men that are men and women that are women. But take off the rose-colored glasses and the talk of Golden Eras and all that, and what we are left with is watching the fall of the Trump legacy like a deflating bouncy house.
Kristi Noem was the sharp edge of Trump’s deportation policy. Her beheading by Trump is emblematic of his retreat or capitulation on nearly every front. At least Kristi Noem – no worse in her personal foibles than most of the self-dealing, bed hopping, sociopathic Congressional and Senatorial class – went down fighting. Trump won’t lift his little finger in that battle any more, all the while sending other people’s sons and daughters into harm’s way in the Middle East.
Trump is going down complicit. It will be a slower fall than Noem’s from many outward appearances but in fact, he is already fallen. There’s no fight, fight, fight left in him for the people.

Bless her heart, Pam Bondi is the very definition of anti-gravitas. The harder she tries to sound authoritative and combative, the more she sounds like a cheerleader in a cat fight.
Howard Lutnick is another one. He may be smart as a whip about some things like building businesses, but he comes across as pure bootlicker in general. And completely unbelievable about his supposedly hands-off relationship with next-door-neighbor Epstein.
For some reason President Trump seems to love these cartoonish kinds of people. No doubt it has to do with their over-the-top praise of “the greatest President ever,” but he is smarter than that. Smarter than an average palooka’s ability to understand why he ultimately would include such clowns in his administration, especially alongside genuine standouts like Scott Bessent, Marco Rubio, and J.D. Vance.
Perhaps the mystery is explained by other characters of dubious worth that Trump tolerates in his inner circle, those like chief of staff Susie Wiles or Justice Department traffic cop Todd Blanche. They are smart for sure, far ahead of the Bondis or Lutnicks, but any fool can tell they are less than loyal. They seem to be agents of the Club and quite likely are the ones who champion the lesser lights to Trump.
Though Bondi and Lutnick hold higher positions, they are easy for a clever Svengali to control as is shown by Trump’s often coming late to the table on saboteurs within his own party (thanks to Wiles’ controlling who has access to him); and by the lack of arrests by another cartoon figurehead, Kash Patel (and what arrests have been made are built on sand when there is plenty of rock available).
These are the kinds of problems you have when you’ve made a deal with the devil. Once you make that Faustian compromise, you are at best just the lesser of any given two evils. It is because your house is divided against itself. Lincoln warned what happens in that case. For all the good Trump has done to strengthen the border, remove the illegals, get boys out of girls’ sports and locker rooms and dresses in general, raise America’s stature in the world once again, and all the rest, he cannot shake the Achilles heel of the deal he made.
One need only see what is happening in Virginia to find evidence of what is coming. Trump came into office like a diesel locomotive on full rich but his progress is faltering thanks to a fractured Congress and a party with just enough snakes to get nothing done legislatively, whereas the shape-shifter Spanberger captured the governor’s chair in Virginia by pretending to be middle-of-the-road and now she is the locomotive, pushing radical left policies at blinding speed.
And meanwhile Trump is hobnailed by the cartoon characters and the Svengalis. So for the upcoming Congressional elections which will determine whether we return to the Obiden morass or move forward, MAGA is dispirited and the standard Trump hoists is at best, the lesser of two evils. One can only hope that Americans will recognize the lesser of the evils, and vote in big numbers. But we know where that has gotten us with the likes of McCain and Romney since the Obama era. And with electoral fraud still the norm without voter I.D….
The market success that Bondi put up this week as some sort of defense for the bungling of the Epstein issues will not survive losses in November. It’s probably a good idea to buy gold right about now once again, even at the currently high price.

The killing of a screaming Mimi by an I.C.E. agent this week has sparked the Jacobin meltdown that so many societal observers have predicted.
The Bolsheviks of the Left have assiduously been searching for a George Floyd moment to ignite the fires among the disaffected, the drugged, the drunk, the loopy, and the ugly in general that will turn civilization on its head. In their imagining, the rabble will live on the change falling out of civilization’s pockets while they, the Politburo, will wrest control from the rule-of-law Republic.
The truth is, it is the Club who will benefit (see previous post). Poor people will become poorer. The middle class will fade away. The Politburo will be the vast administrative state that doles out food and scanty privilege to keep the serfs at bay. The new Dark Ages will gradually enshroud the urban world.
Unless Donald Trump manages to steer the ship through the storms.
Not likely. Despite Trump’s magnificent vision, his seemingly endless energy, and the brilliant people he has brought on board his team, he is his own worst enemy. He cannot with impunity insult and degrade his purest MAGA allies – Rand Paul, MTG, Thomas Massie, Josh Hawley, for notable examples. It is like being a quarterback and disrespecting your linemen. Without them, you cannot expect to carry the ball across the goal line. In fact you will be sacked.
Trump made a Mephistophelian deal re Epstein to regain office but barring a miracle, his momentum will run out in November and after that, Katie bar the door. The screaming Mimis will prevail.
It is time to choose sides. You are either in that minivan pressing the pedal to the metal or putting a stop to it. Everyone else will be road kill.

The Club is an amorphous group of people who are the spiritual descendants of Cain. They are not adherents of any organized religion nor a political party nor ideology, but they will pose as such when it suits their purposes. Their overriding goal is death for others and eternal life for themselves, but not through any belief in an infinite soul under any notion of God. Each member of the Club believes only in himself as a god who dominates others.
As the name suggests, the Club is an association because the Club’s members realize that they can survive only by working together with other like-minded sociopaths. However, their confederacy is more accidental than conspiratorial. Like-minded elitists with Napoleonic pathologies tend to end up in the same places pulling the same ropes.
In the other sense of their name, the Club works like a sledgehammer. If two or more sociopaths can work together to subjugate two hundred common souls, or two thousand, or two million, or two billion, then so be it as long as they can beat the others into submission.
You can see the fruits of the Club’s workings in every era of the history of civilization. It was Baal in the struggles of the Jews in the Old Testament. It was the rise of the Holy Roman Empire stamping out the Roman republic. It reached its zenith in the Dark Ages when all of Europe and Asia came under the whip of serfdom and the Middle East and Africa, of slavery.
The Club’s greatest setback was the rise of the American republic. You can see the Club’s reactionary attempts to snuff out America’s promise of individual freedom and social mobility in the Jacobins’ French Revolution, the Bolsheviks’ USSR, Hitler’s Third Reich, and Mao’s China. The common thread is repressing the will of the people while championing the tyranny of the few.
The Club routinely exploits “useful idiots,” common people with at least a touch of sociopathic traits themselves who lust for and/or envy wealth and power. These are, to offer a few easy examples, the lobbyists, the gunrunners, the narco-terrorists, the Muslim Brotherhood, the Deep State, and the various levels of spooks in the world. Though they never make up anywhere near a majority of the populace, disaffected youth, trust fund and DEI adults, and extremists of all stripes help the Club’s causes along by working out their antagonism toward traditional middle class values through the LGBTETC movement, Antifa and the like, serving as narcissistic enablers who follow blindly along with their noses constantly in their phones, cheering on the assassinations and hooliganism and boys in girls’ locker rooms when prompted.
Today the Club has gathered strength again and it is poised to take down America. And Mother Russia. And the nation-states of Europe, Asia, and Oceania.
Hammurabi, the Ten Commandments, His son Jesus Christ, Buddha, Vishnu, and every other positive manifestation of His Love are among God’s gifts to mankind, helping the world build civilization out of chaos. All of that is humanity’s to lose now if we collectively and individually fall victim to the Club.
It remains to be seen if Donald Trump’s fatal flaw was to make a deal with the Club to regain the presidency. He can be forgiven for trying. He has been like Peter with his finger in the dike, holding back the flood of demons that the Club has unleashed upon the world. But rebuilding America, and by proxy civilization, is not like assembling a big beautiful building. As a developer, Trump could amass a team of architects, engineers, and constructors all of whom had one goal in mind. As a politico, however, he works within the belly of the beast. No one is trustworthy. He runs the risk of becoming one of them. The Club and its minions are everywhere throwing sand in the gears of progress at every opportunity.
Just as in the Roman Senate, today you can see the Club’s work in Congress, where the politicians come into office debtors and leave as millionaires. You can see it in the U.N., the W.H.O., the E.U., and other globalist strongholds where taxation without representation is the byword. And you can see it in nearly all other institutions, from the papacy to the Olympics to the justice systems and agriculture and medicine and the military where influence is bought and sold and the little man is at best a spectator, at worst flattened like a bug.
With A.I. and the digital I.D. and the elimination of cash money all on the brink of singularity, 2026 could be a pivotal year for the Club indeed. The perfect storm is brewing. Endless war in Ukraine. Vulnerability in Taiwan. Moral turpitude in Europe. Israel against the world. The “refugee” hordes weakening strong cultures. The degradation of the middle class and the stultification of social mobility. Perhaps the final solution will be another so-called pandemic? God only knows.
Are you in the Club? Are you one of its useful idiots because you want to be in the Club? This may well be the year where we are all put to the test. The Club’s plan, like the Club itself, is amorphous because its members are opportunistic. Do not despair. Do not let your heart be troubled. The only way the Club wins is if sincere people give up fighting for what has proven good, true, and healthy through the millennia.
Things may look bad but there is, as always even when it seems otherwise, hope. Real hope, not just wishful thinking. This Christmas, it is more important than ever to recognize – whether you are Christian or not – that Jesus Christ’s promise is the key to true everlasting life for the individual, and therefore for the collective soul of civilization, of the future, of humanity itself. Not the Club.
“Thus sayeth the Lord unto you, be not afraid or dismayed by reason of this great multitude: for the battle is not yours, but God’s.” – II Chronicles 20.
No matter what false gods you might have followed before, go with the true loving God this coming year. Most especially, you can do so by turning away from perversion, intoxication, and materialism – three of the principal demons promoted by the Club and prevalent in these times.
There could be no more perfect time to start than Christmas day.

“There is no problem too large for government to solve.” – Zoran Mamdani last week, in his speech upon winning the election for mayor of New York City. If those words give you the creeps, they should.
“There is no problem too large for government to solve.” – Joseph Stalin in 1932, on the brink of starving millions of recalcitrant Ukrainians to death in the Holodomor.
“There is no problem too large for government to solve.” – Adolf Hitler in 1938, on the eve of Kristallnacht which initiated the Holocaust, ultimately killing millions of Jews before the Allies ended the slaughter in 1945 when Germany surrendered.
“There is no problem too large for government to solve.” – Mao Tse-Tung in 1966 as he inititiated the Cultural Revolution which featured struggle sessions, the turning of children against their parents, and brutal police actions which killed millions of Chinese before it was ended by Mao’s death in 1976.
“There is no problem too large for government to solve.” – Pol Pot in 1975, as he instituted the “Killing Fields” mirroring Mao’s crackdowns in China, leading to the deaths and disposal in mass graves of over a million Cambodians.
The problem is, when a government cannot convince the people to follow its lead, it always has the option of killing them. Mark and parse Mamdani’s words carefully. They are inspired by the example of those who came before him.
If you are a New York Jew or capitalist, a Christian or any other who values America’s freedoms, it would be prudent to take the first train out before the fare is free.

The common, frantic refrain among the non-jihadist, non-communist section of the population is “We’ve got to stop Mamdani!” They seem to forget that it is by election that people gain office such as mayor of New York City, and the Muslims and the economically disaffected are sure to turn out in big numbers, quite likely bolstered by a significant portion of illegals. The opposition vote is split. Unless there is an unlikely sea change, Mamdani will be the next mayor of New York City.
But so what? New York has already had as bad a socialistic mayor as could be imagined in Bill de Blasio. And as far as the Islamist thing goes, our entire country endured eight years of Barack Obama’s destruction of decades of diplomatic work with the Arab Spring, the near-perfect co-option and looting of the American health care industry, and the wrecking of race relations – at least on the elitist fringe. In the twelve years of Obama and Biden, decades of social progress were taken apart brick by brick, all to the delight of the America-haters whether they be Ishmaelites or Bolsheviks.
In this month of gratitude, although he certainly isn’t perfect and he is not going to be president for long, we should all – Democrat and Republican and Independent alike – give thanks to God that at least Donald Trump has his finger in the dike holding back the craziest of crazy demons. If the Obiden regime had another four years, we would all still be taking forced innoculations, opposition voices would be frogmarched and imprisoned in increasing numbers, and step by step all our remaining freedoms would be taken away.
We are still on the brink of the dystopian future Trump has delayed. Everyone feels it, though the “progressives” have a different take on it than the “MAGAs” and blame Trump for the disarray that their own leaders are cynically seeding. No matter. All who value the Bill of Rights and the true social justice expressed in the Sermon on the Mount should not sit idly by and let the country slip into anarchy.
This is the time to follow Candide’s example and cultivate your own garden. The world is full of crazies and demons. Keep your own heart and house in order. If Mamdani actually will usher in a Sharia New York, the light of Love that is truly God, not Mohammed, will still and always win out against the darkness.

While it is great to have the few living hostages released and a smattering of corpses, it doesn’t add up.
From the beginning Israel should have had one objective and one objective only: Wipe out Hamas. Gaza is a tiny area. Way smaller than Israel. Yet two years and 50,000 dead later, Hamas is still in charge and Israel has been forced to release some two thousand convicted terrorists. Are those sociopaths going to learn to write code now? Or what’s the plan?
The plan, as always, is the war that never ends.
Meanwhile there have been some million casualties from the newer war raging in Ukraine and rather than doing what it takes for peace – simply withholding our weapons – the Neocons in the Trump administration are talking about adding Tomahawk missiles to the mix. All the while ballyhooing Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, roughly the post-Obama equivalent of a daytime Emmy.
Something stinks about all this. Speaking of which, at the risk of being another unwelcome stinker at the garden party – and there is no proof and only circumstantial evidence – situations like this make it appear that Trump made a deal to get reelected. Not to get the votes. He got those aplenty. But to have the forces that ran him out in 2020 stand aside and let him have his full turn after Clinton and Bush Jr. and Obama, all of whom got two terms while Trump did not.
It seems the name of the deal was Epstein. Trump traded whatever secret the controllers were looking for at Mar-a-Lago for four more years in the monkey house. And thus Donald Trump is playing his part by betraying his base, the American people. He is serving as one more step in the process of fleshing out Chief Spook Emeritus George Bush Sr’s New World Order, the end result of which is to cast the American Republic into the ashbin of history.
Gold and silver have spiked to record levels. That’s the good news, right? But when precious metals rise, actually it is not because of good news. It is because of bad news. And that’s because something really, really stinks about the Gaza deal. Everyone knows it. No one is saying it out loud.

Have a childhood friend who isn’t cool enough now for the crowd you’re running with? Ghost ’em.
Got a problematic boyfriend or girlfriend? Maybe one you found when you swiped left, swiped right, met for wine, had a fling, and now they’re inconvenient? Ghost ’em.
Run up against someone who makes you uncomfortable, who challenges your beliefs, who invites discourse not discord, but doesn’t agree with you? Ghost ’em.
Have a mother or a father, a sister or a brother, who’s cramping your style? Doesn’t like the friends you hang out with? The significant other or spouse you’ve chosen? Your lifestyle choices? Your politics? Mistakes you’ve made? Ghost ’em.
Have an unplanned pregnancy? Ghost it.
In this digital age that our entire generation is living through now – “generation” in the Biblical sense, meaning everyone alive from babies to grannies – we have all become conditioned to simply turning people off by ghosting them – blocking their calls, their texts, their emails, pretending that they don’t exist when they become a nuisance. It is all too easy to think that they are just a phone number, an email address, or an avatar and forget that a living heart beats behind their digital presence. You can ghost ’em by pressing a button, or once you’re too far gone down that path, by squeezing the trigger of a long-range rifle.
But it is becoming clear that the time in which this generation lives is most certainly the Tribulation. The Tribulation is, and always has been, all of life – frustrating, disappointing, unfair, difficult, but also exhilarating and wonderful. Each human being’s life is the Tribulation story from beginning to end. So humanity has lived in the Tribulation from the dawn of time, but now in the context of quickening events our universal Tribulation is coming to a point of existential crisis.
You can continue to live in Fakey World, the world of social media, of denying biology, of hating those who make you uncomfortable, of popping pills to solve problems, and of leading a cosmetic, materialistic fantasy which excludes those whose very existence challenges the way you want the world to be. Even friends. Even family. Just ghost ’em.
Or you can engage. You can embrace those who love you despite yourself. You can look them in the eye. You can find the point of shared humanity with them regardless of other differences.
It is time to choose sides. It is not about Republicans. It is not about Democrats. Christians or Jews or Muslims or Hindus or otherwise. Blacks or Whites or anywhere in between. It is about loving your neighbor, or not. It is about valuing the gift of Life for ourselves and everyone else, or not. It is about allowing Free Will, Free Speech, Sovereign Individuality, or not. And it is about protecting children, or not – perhaps the most important issue of our times if we as the human race are to have a future.
The only correct ghosting we should practice is seeking the Holy Ghost, the invisible, electric, radioactive spirit of Love which is God, whether you understand Him to be Jesus, or Yahweh, or Buddha, or the Cosmic Muffin.
And no, it is not someone else’s problem any more. It is up to you. Choose Love or Hate, Reality or Fakey World, and choose carefully. Your soul depends on it.

You are in for a big letdown if you approach politics and history like following a football team. Your team might have a good run or two but it is never going to win the Super Bowl. (Especially if “Q” has led you to follow the Tennessee Titans, a team that was snakebitten from the get-go if ever one was). Perhaps that is why so many people do not follow political news, do not vote, do not want to know about it.
Those people, unfortunately, are living in Fakey World. Even moreso than the ones who listen to Joe Scarborough or Sean Hannity and cheer mindlessly for the Blues or the Reds as if they were an NFL team. For politics (which is the making of history) is the weather of our lives and our children’s lives. You better know when to take your umbrella or a raincoat when you go out. You better not plan your exotic vacation during the monsoon season. And if you can do something about the weather, like vote for better weather, you best do so, teach your children to do so, and encourage those around you as well to do so.
In this way political life is slightly better than the weather. There’s not a dang thing you can do to change the weather, Green New Deal notwithstanding. But you just might be able to vote the bastards out of office, as just happened with the Biden junta last November.
Donald Trump: The 21 Century’s George Washington? Or Sulla?
Who? Sulla? Most people think that Julius Caesar was the Roman Empire’s first dictator. But in fact it was a remarkable man named Sulla.
Sulla was a fierce military leader who won several key contests and ended up appointed dictator by the Senate in the late Roman Republic of the early 1st Century B.C. He believed in the traditional republican values that had made Rome great and was distressed by how it was was going astray due to corruption. In a sort of “Make Rome Great Again” movement, he issued a number of fiats designed to get the Roman Republic back on track. As soon as he felt his work was done, setting an example for George Washington after his second term as President, Sulla retired to his plantation.
Like Trump’s feeling that God had spared him the assassin’s bullet to do great things in his second administration, Sulla believed that he had been spared by the gods to right the course of the Republic. Thus he dubbed himself “Sulla Felix,” which means Sulla the Lucky.
The problem was, Sulla’s fiats were roughly equivalent to Trump’s executive orders. The reforms he instituted did not outlive his dictatorship. The corrupt Senate and the rest of the government got right back to its former ways which, in a nutshell, amounted to making the rich richer and the common Roman, poorer.
Trump at the Crossroads
God willing Trump will succeed at forging, or in effect forcing, an end to the conflict in Ukraine. If he does, then he will have outwitted the Mephistopheles of Perversion, Pestilence, and War, Lindsey Graham. And God willing, Trump will succeed at reining in Netanyahu so that he stops attacking neighboring countries and just rescues the hapless Gazans from Hamas.
There is no doubt that Donald Trump is the greatest American of this century. He is smart and fearless and committed to winning for the American people. But if he only changes the downward spiral of American culture through a series of executive orders that can be undone by the next administration, or simply a changing of the majority in Congress, then he will go down as America’s Sulla.
Why Epstein Matters
Something is severely wrong with Trump’s repeated and continuing assertions that the Epstein matter is a hoax and his continual attacks on those who will not let the matter rest, even his allies, as “panickans.” What went on at Epstein’s island and other properties is real and to those who want America to break the bonds of special interests manipulating its destiny both within and abroad, it is emblematic of the Deep State and Globalist conspirators who want to bring America down.
No one seems to think that Trump is protecting his own hide as if he had participated in Epstein’s perversion. But clearly, unless he is playing chess on a level at which few believe he is even capable, he is protecting someone or something if not himself. This he must stop. The recent revelations of the perfidy of Bill Barr and Barr’s ties to the Bushes and the Clintons and Obama and the CIA and Mossad, make this more important than ever.
But most of us are mere voters. We can only do so much. It is up to Donald Trump to come clean, institute meaningful longlasting reforms through Congress, or go down in Nixonian disgrace. There is other trouble brewing and we best be prepared if Trump does not outwit the demons of the Left.
The Coming Meltdown
For decades now, the rich have been getting richer and the poor – or at least the “not rich” in America because with all the entitlements, it is almost impossible to be truly poor here – have had an increasingly smaller share of the pie. As the banks and money speculators in general have manipulated property and markets, housing prices have spiked and other basic assets that define independence – like cars, tools, weapons, and such – have gotten out of reach for more and more people. When you have to put your groceries on a credit card, you know you’re in trouble, and more and more people have been doing just that. The rampant, spiking inflation of the Biden term really hammered the nails shut on the coffins of many people’s aspirations for financial independence.
Especially the younger generations’, defined for the moment as anyone from 15 to 45. They have high standards of living (from their long time at home in the suburbs and at college) and low expectations of earning that sort of living themselves. In fact, their parents quite likely inherited that standard of living from their own parents, but there’s the old “shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves” thing, and today’s younger generation is the second “shirtsleeves” in that equation.
One big reason is debt from college. This is a terrible scourge. When this younger generation turned 18, everything was telling them they had to go to college and at the same time, “privacy” laws allowed them to lock their parents out of seeing their report cards and shaping their majors, while college advisors were working with the (newly federally driven) loan industry to have them sign on the bottom line, making them debt-slaves for years to come.
Forgiving all that debt is no solution, unfair to those who paid it off quickly and those who never took it, but the manifold stories of young adults well into their 30s still paying off college debt – or mainly interest on their college debt – are gobsmacking. And it is the reason that out of desperation they will listen to truly idiotic “influencers” like AOC and Beto and other rabble rousers.
Perhaps there could be a debt “trade-down.” Push military, or Americorps, or Peace Corps, or even law enforcement service in exchange for drawing down student loan debt?
Somebody better think of something to solve issues like this or civilization is about to be rocked by an immense amount of upheaval. The funny thing is, this witch’s brew is no different than issues which Sulla and then Caesar had to contend with in the late Roman republic. Somehow it is always about the monied classes squelching property ownership and opportunity for the non-monied classes. America solved that problem for about two centuries by enabling “the pursuit of happiness” aka social mobility for those who took advantage of opportunity.
It seems that when Trump talks about making America great again, that is what he is really trying to get us back to. God help him. Meanwhile, it is smart to recognize that he is a mere mortal, and not a young one at that. The smartest young people will prepare for troubled times ahead and hope and pray that all such preparations do is position them better for the hoped-for good times. At worst a French or Bolshevik revolution is coming; at best, something hard to imagine with AI and corporatism poised to scuttle anything that threatens their hegemony.
Wise Words from James Brown, the Godfather of Soul
“If you stay ready, you ain’t gotta get ready.” James Brown was also known as “the hardest working man in show business.” He had little tolerance for slackers and demanded the highest standards from his band members. His family was another matter. That is always the way it is with great people. As Jesus said, “A prophet is never appreciated in his own home town.” Never mind all that: Stay ready – you never know the time nor the place when being ready is just what is needed.
Stop living in Fakey World. It may be the hardest thing you do in this life, even harder than conquering a substance addiction, but if you want to hold onto your soul and live a life not as a slave but as a free and sovereign individual, put that dad-blasted phone down and walk away from it. It is, and is increasingly proving to be not just through common sense but evidenced by scientific studies, the Ouija Board of the the 21st Century. Put that phone away and you will never be poor.
Buy a piece of land. Any piece of land. Free and clear, with cash. If you look hard, you can still find an acre for less than $2,000. Trade it up and make a profit on it if you can, but always have that piece of land and you will never be poor.
Learn a needed skill. Even if you or your parents spent a gazillion dollars sending you to an elite or not-so-elite college, spend as much time as you can find outside of that underachieving job you might have to take a course at a community college or through a trade union or as a volunteer apprentice to learn something other people will pay for even in a pinch – mechanical or electrical or handyman work, short-order cooking or emergency medicine or roofing by God – and you will never be poor.
Have an escape plan. Even if you have to live in a city, be ready to drop everything and escape at a moment’s notice and you will never be poor.
Store your nuts. If you have extra money, fine, play with the stock market or Bitcoin or whatever, but you better be like a squirrel with enough hard assets to live on and trade with when the grid goes down. Then you will never be poor.
Eschew subscriptions. Heck, if you are wasting your money on Netflix and the Cloud or God forbid, PSLs or their ugly twin brother timeshares, you are already poor. Stop that! Otherwise you will always be poor.
Choose your spouse very, very carefully. All that glitters is not gold. “If you want to be happy for the rest of your life…” Just saying. True love means never having to say you are poor.
Go with God. Don’t be a fool. Seek. And you will find. And thus you will really never be poor.

Oh, somewhere in this favoured land the sun is shining bright, The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light; And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout, But there is no joy in MAGAville – mighty Donald has struck out. -with apologies to Ernest Lawrence Thayer
True, there is not likely anywhere a little black book of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients. The Epstein file can’t even be stuffed into a bulging manila file folder to sit on Pam Bondi’s desk. For the lightly informed, there are various bits and pieces of journalism floating around on the internet that seem to make the whole Epstein issue a minor affair involving a list of a few people like Bill Clinton – and what surprise is there in Bill Clinton’s involvement in salacious things?
It is these lightly informed people whom Donald Trump wants to impress by comparing the “Epstein Hoax” to Russia, Russia, Russia and the other fake stuff that the DNC put out to bring Trump down in his first term.
No, if you were an investigator at the F.B.I., you wouldn’t start looking for a little black book. You would start with a question: How in the heck did this schmuck Epstein go from working in a bookstore to having billions of dollars, owning a private island among other expensive properties, and rubbing elbows with the rich and famous all over the world?
That would lead to other questions, like why was former federal Attorney General Bill Barr’s father the one that plucked Epstein out of the obscurity of the bookstore and set him up in the “financial services” business. And then why was Bill Barr himself the A.G. who ended up prosecuting Epstein? And why did Epstein’s consort, the awkwardly named and currently imprisoned Ghislaine Maxwell, “happen” to be the daughter of one of the Israeli intelligence agency’s chief operatives? And why was she sourcing underage girls for Epstein and his clients among other willing or not so willing sexual partners?
Those questions would lead you to many more, but at this point you would whip out your laptop and set up a spreadsheet to organize a mountain of evidence. One column would be labeled “Johns.” Another would be labeled “Victims.” Another would be labeled “Coconspirators.” Another would be labeled “Known Unknowns.” Another would be labeled “Unknown Unknowns.” And on and on.
And down the left side of the spreadsheet you would have over two decades of years listed. Hundreds and apparently even into the thousands of people, guilty and innocent, would be typed into the cells. Cells upon cells upon cells.
So it went. This is how the universe of Epstein files was built. But the prosecution that put Epstein in prison – and led to his “suicide” that was no suicide at all – focused on only a very few victims and johns in order to put him away, get him somewhere he could be conveniently suicided, and deep six the whole shebang. Pun intended. So grand jury testimony involves only a very narrow slice of the entire Epstein story.
The people involved with Epstein were very wealthy, very powerful, and indeed were the kind of people who turned the wheels of the world. Some still do. They misbehaved sexually in manifold ways and Epstein recorded it. And sexual blackmail is the ultimate weapon, kryptonite against not just financial power but especially against political power.
The Epstein “file” that is being concealed is too big for any one book or any one laptop. No doubt it is the kind of thing AI would be useful in tying together. And no doubt it is just one example of how our government has been compromised by enemies both from within and from without, and that is why despite all the other big things going on, any suppression of the Epstein files is as big a deal as big deals get.
That’s the history Trump wants you to think is a hoax. Not a story, history. If the Epstein files have been corrupted, then have the F.B.I. do the forensics, rebuild the files, and arrest the perpetrators in the files, and also those who corrupted the files. There is no hoax about Epstein and what he was doing over years and years with many, many people. Including Donald Trump.
Now that Trump is trying to sweep it all under the rug, it is clear that somehow Donald Trump is damaged goods, and somehow it involves the Epstein files. And it cannot simply be a birthday card. Which explains at least in part why it is six months in and we’re still feeding weapons and money into Ukraine. And why the self-proclaimed peace president just bombed the poop out of a country with whom we are not at war and Israel is bombing countries left and right with lesser bombs which they source from us. And why Hamas still holds hostages. And why not a single arrest has been made for the stolen election, the Biden mental health coverup, or any of the other abuses of power of the Biden years. Trump is owned somehow, by somebody, but not by the people who voted for him.
The time is now to plan for the post-Trump world, before Republicans lose their slight edge in Congress or Trump strokes out for real – he’s not looking so well lately and after all, he is nearly 80. He’s certainly acting erratically, contradicting himself and attacking ideological allies like Thomas Massie and Rand Paul and his own base. Perhaps a third party movement is the answer now. But by all means, we need to make sure J.D. Vance is all there and that the MAGA appointments hold fast. And do everything we individually can to obliviate the vestiges of the Obama/Biden regime.
Trump might still do some good for MAGA ideals before the midterms but most likely his goose is cooked and after that, America’s is.
Because mighty Donald has struck out.
