Darwin – Hitler – Transgender


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politically Correct Re-Posted Oct 12, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Marty, it seems like this entire transgender stuff has been exploited. I agree that it was never an issue until someone pushed this in the face of everyone. Now, the UN is promoting transgender lesbians. Why would someone change their sex if they still like the opposite sex? This is becoming so confusing. If the transgenders are less than 0.5% of the population, then what is the UN spending money on this when it is probably 10% at best of this 0.5%? We have wars, and 8 to 10 million Ukrainians have fled Ukraine. However, transgender lesbians are still lesbians, which is more important than telling Zelensky to negotiate or try to resolve the Israeli-Hamas War.

You have said this is promoting an agenda to reduce population. Some suggest that this is all connected to the 19th-century European view that they were a superior race promoted by Hitler and the discrimination of races. This seems to be going over the top. Is all of this connected?

HS

REPLY: Many people have no idea about the connection between Hitler and Darwin and how the Nazis targeted the first transgenders. Darwin had a very profound impact on 19th-century thinking. Of course, there was the religious conflict of evolving from monkeys. However, this was also behind Hitler’s search for an ancient Arian Race to counter Darwin.

The idea of a superior human race existed in Europe during the late 19th century. It appears to have arisen after Charles Darwin’s 1859 publication of the Origin of Species. While many people have argued that there has never been a missing link discovered to support Darwin, they do not understand that this was ALSO the motivation behind Hitler’s obsession with a superior ancient Arian race to counter Darwin’s theory that we evolved from monkeys. It was very curious, for this ancient Arian race was promoted by people claiming to be scientists. This was also the origin of the Nazis hating Jews, and they began to view different races as inferior.

They even created human zoos as early as 1870. Darwin had set in motion this debate, and Ethnology studies emerged in Germany, taking an entirely new approach in the 1870s. They began to put humans on display, incorporating them into zoos. The scientists supported this as being educational. However, this was all about countering Darwin. These human zoos sparked many elite debates, but what emerged was the idea that Europeans had “evolved” into a superior race, and putting natives from distant lands on display in cages supported this idea.

These human zoos became the link between transgender and homosexuality. The first transgender operation was by Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld (1868 – 1935), a German physician specializing in sexology. He advocated for sexual minorities and founded the Scientific-Humanitarian Committee and the World League for Sexual Reform. This was said to have been the organization to have supported homosexual and transgender rights.

However, this concept of a mythical Arian race that existed in antiquity was a passion of Hitler, thanks to Darwin. Between May 1 and October 15, 1896, the Great Business Exhibition of Berlin occurred. It was there where this idea of an Arian race was made popular taking hold among some elites, for they created a human zoo as well where people from Germany’s colonies, such as New Guinea and Africa, were put on display for the visitors to gawk at.

The fascists targeted Hirschfeld and then the Nazis because he was Jewish but also gay. He was beaten severely in 1920, and in 1933, the Nazis sacked his organization and burned all his research and books. He fled Germany and was exiled to France, where he died in 1935.

I agree; this is all becoming so confusing it is hard to follow the logic of changing your sex to be still attracted to the opposite sex. Then there was the video of a guy who wanted to change his sex to be the first transgender to have an abortion. Nothing makes sense.

As I have said, Thailand is the sex change capital of the world. They do not demand that you can no longer define what a woman is, and mothers are now just birthing machines. In Thailand, they simply call themselves Ladyboys. They do not demand that everyone else must change pronouns and you cannot define what is a woman.

This transgender issue is turning up far more discrimination against this entire transgender agenda needlessly. It appears to be more directed at creating division than ending discrimination. It certainly has not reduced discrimination but it has increased it. Personally, I am offended to hear my mother is not a mother but some birthing machine. Now this offends the majority and that only leads to a backlash. This implies others have seized this issue for political reasons – not the gay community.

California Raises Minimum Wage for Fast Food Workers to $20 per Hour


Armstrong Economics Blog/USA Current Events Re-Posted Oct 2, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Effective April 1, fast food workers in California will receive a minimum wage of $20 thanks to a new law signed by Governor Gavin Newsom. This law does not extend to all minimum wage workers, only those at fast food establishments. Why? Newsom needs to buy votes and labor unions and chain restaurants have been battling it out to determine who must pay.

Fast food lobbyists spent $4 million in the first six months of this year to prevent the California Accountability Bill from passing. The bill would hold franchisees and their parent companies jointly liable for the treatment of workers. Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Jack in the Box, KFC, McDonalds, Chic-fil-A, and basically all of the fast food chains separately spend money to defeat bill AB 1228. Commercials appeared across California of seemingly desperate franchise owners saying their businesses were in danger if the big bad corporation had to take over.

That bill will not be on the ballot for 2024, thanks to this new boost in pay. California currently has one of the highest minimum wage brackets in the country at $15.50. Critics say that these jobs are intended for students who live at home and need work experience.  “That’s a romanticized version of a world that doesn’t exist,” Newsom said. “We have the opportunity to reward that contribution, reward that sacrifice and stabilize an industry.”

Other labor unions are certain to follow and demand higher wages. Fast food prices have spiked in recent years and can hardly be considered cheap. Unskilled laborers vote Democrat, and the big chains will put money behind Democratic candidates who support their interests. At the same time, most fast-food chains have begun to automate positions and cut down on hiring.

Gavin Newsom Trolls Ron DeSantis Hard About November 30th Debate


Posted originally on the CTH on September 28, 2023 | Sundance 

There is no way Team DeSantis is prepared to go toe-to-toe with Gavin Newsom.  As much as I just cannot stand the California governor, he has a firm grasp of Machiavellian manipulation in politics.

In this soundbite, Newsom is asked about Ron DeSantis and the special debate between the Florida and California governors as organized by Sean Hannity.  Newsom’s response is epic level trolling.  Judging by the response from Newsom, he also knows a nomination is likely at the DNC convention in Chicago. WATCH:

Newsom Vetoes Parental Discrimination Gender Identity Bill


Armstrong Economics Blog/WOKE Re-Posted Sep 27, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Some say California’s Governor Gavin Newsom is attempting to appear more moderate ahead of election season. Newsom actually used common sense and defied party lines by vetoing a bill that would have taken children away from parents who refuse to provide them with gender-affirming care.

Democratic Assemblymember Wendy Carrillo and Democratic state Sen. Scott Wiener introduced AB-957 Family law: gender identity, and it actually passed state legislature in September. The bill would have likened refusing gender-affirming care to child abuse. So if you refuse to give your child puberty blockers or put a tutu on your son who claims he is your daughter, you are unfit to be a parent in Biden’s America. Forget the statistics or the growing number of adults who are forever scarred from the medical procedures their parents allowed them to undergo before their brains had fully developed.

Newsom stated that provisions are already in place that “protect” children from parents not adhering to the woke agenda. This is commonplace in California family court as parents will attempt to discredit the other for not accepting their child’s chosen gender or sexuality. Children have already been removed from their homes for this very reason, but the proposed bill would have made it easier for the government to confiscate confused kids.

Now, Newsom is still a strong advocate of children undertaking genital mutilation. However, he is attempting to seem a bit more moderate as Democrats in the middle are not in favor of these measures. “I share a deep commitment to advancing the rights of transgender Californians, an effort that has guided my decisions through many decades in public office,” Newsom wrote in the announcement. “That said, I urge caution when the Executive and Legislative branches of state government attempt to dictate – in prescriptive terms that single out one characteristic – legal standards for the Judicial branch to apply.”

California lawmakers are introducing new legislation at rapid speed, and it is all intended to transfer parental rights to the state. There are proposals to allow children to seek psychiatric care in relation to their gender without notifying parents. There is another proposal that would provide shelter to children as young as 12 if they reported facing “LGBTQ+ negativity” at home. These are intended to be broad terms to give the state the power to confiscate kids. When my kids were young, you’d have to sign a letter just to let them go on a school trip a few miles away. Now, parents are fighting with the school boards to have a say in how their child is raised.

Banned Books – A Reading by Senator Kennedy


Armstrong Econonomics Blog/WOKE Re-Posted Sep 18, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

I saw a woman wearing a rainbow “I read banned books” shirt. Decades ago, less even, perhaps I would have asked what was in her library. Today, the banned books are merely woke propaganda intent on confusing the youth, steering them away from organized religion and tradition. The banned school books are vulgar tools to make children question their identity and GROOM them to understand sinister aspects of sexuality before they hit puberty.

Senator John Kennedy has never been one to shy away from the truth. The video above shows Kennedy reading from a book that has no place in the hands of children. The school board clutched their pearls and became irate with Kennedy for reading excerpts of various books. Why should we allow children to read pornographic books in school that are too crude for adults? It has absolutely no educational value.

The libs say claim that banning books is equivalent to the Third Reich burning all literary pieces that did not fit the Nazi agenda. They want the masses to believe that the right is simply banning books because they hate gays and are narrow-minded bigots. But just listen to the passages in these books – it is graphic pedophilia gay pornography. PEN America and the American Library Association has made it their mission to prevent future book bans. The organization states on its website:

“Books are under profound attack in the United States. They are disappearing from library shelves, being challenged in droves, being decreed off limits by school boards, legislators, and prison authorities. And everywhere, it is the books that have long fought for a place on the shelf that are being targeted. Books by authors of color, by LGBTQ+ authors, by women. Books about racism, sexuality, gender, history. PEN America pushes back against the banning of books and the intolerance, exclusion, and censorship that undergird it.”

Pen America is even suing various publishing houses for not providing schools with this filth. Pen America is funded by numerous liberal philanthropists and organizations. The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation donated $750,000 recently, and is hosting an event next week called “Reading, Power, and Freedom,” to discuss placing smut books in schools. One of the keynote speakers edits “Gender & Sexuality in Information Studies,” so clearly we know where her focus lies. All of their donors happen to be fixated on sexuality and strongly believe small children should be exposed to this deranged commentary.

Again, the message Kennedy read in the video above is too disturbing to repeat. I cannot imagine explaining that message to a young child. No one at the board meeting wanted to answer Kennedy when he asked if these passages were appropriate in an educational setting. “You come here and say censorship is bad, and of course it’s bad,” Mr. Kennedy said. “But the obvious response is— you heard the books we’re talking about. We’re not talking about “Catcher in the Rye.” So tell me, who gets to decide? And all I’ve heard is the librarians. And parents have nothing to do with it. and if that’s your response, what planet did you just parachute in from?”

The Northern Border has been Breached


Armstrong Economics Blog/International News Re-Posted Sep 13, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The focus has been on the mass influx of illegals from the open southern border. However, migrants have also found their way into the US by crossing the northern border from Canada. The US Border Patrol declared that more migrants have entered the US via Canada in the past 11 months than in the entire last decade. The US and Canada agreed in March 2023 that they would send asylum seekers away from the border, but neither Biden nor Trudeau has kept their promise as the situation builds. This seems to be a deliberate attempt to fill both countries with migrants, although the US is the destination of choice.

“Over 6,100 apprehensions from 76 different countries in just 11 months, surpassing the last 10 years combined,” Swanton Sector Chief Patrol Agent Robert Garcia posted on X. Only 365 people were apprehended at the Canadian border in 2021, followed by 1,000 the following year. However, the message that the US has become an open hub for anyone has spread. Border agents have apprehended 7,633 people during the first seven months of the year. Again, these are only the people who were caught.

The issue at the northern border pales in comparison to the thousands crossing from the south every week. It shows that people need not travel on foot to escape their previous lives. People can safely fly into Canada and illegally cross into the US. Do you know how much a ticket from China to Canada costs? It is too much for the average struggling “dreamer” to pay without assistance. There is now also an open market for human smugglers who are paid to help people cross into America. This is bad news for America’s fentanyl drug crisis as well since cartels from Latin America are sending their mules into the country from both sides. This issue is costing the US billions and ruining our cities. Even sanctuary cities are begging for a solution as they never expected a full-scale invasion.

Men are from Mars & Women are from Venus


Armstrong Economics Blog/Opinion Re-Posted Sep 11, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Marty, I read the post where they said they needed to find you a 23-year-old wife so she will keep you active so you can continue to blog. I am over 40, and things have changed. Yes, there is an abundant supply of 23 to 33-year-olds. But they only want arrangements and hookups, not relationships and certainly not children. Bill Gates has done his job. He has brainwashed the young, and good luck finding one, even in their 30s, who would be serious.  The old saying they want someone with a flashy car no longer applies. That went out a long time ago.

MS

REPLY: I know what you are saying. That seems to be true to some extent. But then the girls complain that boys their age only want to play video games and live in their mother’s basement. Things have changed, and I hear them from younger people constantly. The funny thing was there was a woman in her early 30s. I opened the car door for her, and she was shocked. We were not on a date; it was just looking at real estate. I didn’t think about it; it was standard among my generation.

Just for the record, I have a few “flashy” cars, as you put it. I was in a parking lot with my BMW I8, and a guy and his girlfriend approached me and said, “Boy, I guess you get all the girls with this car.” I replied, no! – Just guys! I never had a woman come up to me because of a car – ever! Guys, all the time. How does it handle? How fast is the top end? etc, etc., etc.

Women are not generally impressed with cars more than a guy is impressed by her name, handbag, and matching shoes. That’s the old adage – Men are from Mars, and women are from Venus. Not sure I was a 23-year-old to keep me young. I have no intention of running for president when I am 90. I prefer a more mature person, but the pickings keep getting slimmer by the day.

Indeed, culturally, things have changed. I suppose that is part of the generational cycle.

The Migrant Civil Unrest Is Part of The Collapse of Society for 2032


Armstrong Economics Blog/Uncategorized Re-Posted Aug 24, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

History repeats largely because those in power NEVER consult history before they hand down some decree. The scheme behind letting all these migrants infiltrate the country is that they will vote Democrat and keep them in power forever. As I have said before, I was asked by Hong Kong to negotiate with Australia to try to buy land because it was being handed back to China in 1998. I met with the former Prime Minister Paul Keating. who at the time was the Treasurer. I explained I had a blank check and could pay off the national debt of Australia. The answer was always no. Out of frustration, I finally asked if this was a racist thing. He said no. He was Labour, and if they let these people into Australia, they would all vote conservative and change the politics of Australia.

This is why the Democrats are allowing the country to be flooded with migrants with ZERO skills and handing them $2200 a month, which is more than many get on Social Security. This is all politics. The migrants will be told who to vote for in 2024. After that, they intend to draft these people and send them to fight Russia in Eastern Europe.

During the 1840s, that is when the Sovereign Defaults were taking place at the State level. This unleashed what was called the “Hard Times,” coinciding with the migration from Ireland to America in the wake of the Great Famine of the 1840s. The proximate cause of the famine was a potato blight that infected potato crops throughout Europe during the 1840s, causing an estimated 1 million deaths in Ireland from famine and an additional 100,000 deaths outside Ireland. This also contributed to the civil unrest in Europe that became widespread and evolved into the European Communist Revolutions of 1848. This would eventually also influence Karl Marx (1818-1883) and his first edition of the Communist Manifesto in 1848.

We must refer to history to see society’s past mistakes and understand what will unfold. The United States’ emerging market was engulfed in a Sovereign State Debt Crisis of the 1839-1844 period because Andrew Jackson wanted to destroy the central bank because his opponents had borrowed from the Bank of the United States. He moved the federal government funds to his “pet” state banks, unleashing what became known as the broken banknote era. Without a central bank, all the individual banks began to issue their own currency. The frauds were enormous. Nobody knew if the banks were solvent or not or where they even existed. Brokers in NYC would buy notes at a discount from questionable one-branch banks and place them into circulation.

The Panic of 1837 began the Sovereign Debt Crisis, unfolding into the Hard Times period. This economic event also destroyed the credit standing of ALL states and the Federal Government. Because people were already suffering from the economic crisis, the immigrants pouring into the United States sparked a real uprising, for they would work for little pay, taking jobs from the Americans. This became the Nativism movement (native American residents), which was anti-immigrant. On top of that, the old English feud between the protestants v. Catholics merely resurfaced in America since the immigrants were Irish Catholics.

The population of Philadelphia more than doubled during the 1840s from 161,410 to 388,721. It spilled beyond the original city limits (from South to Vine Streets between the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers) in all directions, which put a strain on the city not designed to accommodate such rapid growth. There was also no professional police force in Philadelphia at the time. Previously, during the 1830s, there was also the national abolition movement. Many blacks migrated to Philadelphia, taking jobs from the locals, which was the origin of the Navitism Movement. This manifested in the Pennsylvania State Constitution of 1838, which rescinded the right to vote among the free Blacks. This was not racist; it was sparked by the economic decline and the rising unemployment. The Democrats today intend to give the new migrants the right to vote in 2024 so they can keep Biden in place.

In 1844, the rise of Nativism appeared because of the economic depression taking the form of a political position of demanding a favored status for certain established inhabitants of a nation as compared to claims of newcomers or immigrants. Nativism typically means opposition to immigration and support of efforts to lower the political or legal status of specific ethnic or cultural groups because the groups are considered alien to the natural culture, failing or unable to assimilate, taking employment from native sons.

Then the migration of the Irish Catholics sparked the Nativist/Protestant sentiment to explode in 1844. The Catholics objected to having their children use the Protestant King James Bible in public schools. The Nativist groups spread a false rumor that Catholics were trying to remove the Bible from public schools. The old hatred from the English Civil War rose again. On the evening of Friday, May 3rd, 1844, a Nativist organization called for a meeting in the Kensington district. They reconvened on the following Monday, and this turned violent as gunshots were exchanged and a riot ensued. Nativists converged on the Irish Kensington district over the next three days and burned more than thirty buildings, including a Catholic school and St. Augustine’s Catholic Church at Fourth and Vine Streets.

Order was restored only by the government calling in the military to suppress the riots. As always, once the first blood is drawn, vengeance follows. Again, riots broke out on July 6th and 7th, 1844. It was really about people migrating to Philadelphia during the hard times and rising unemployment. Just with the blacks previously, this was with the Irish, and this too was manifesting in anti-Catholic sentiment at the growing population of Irish Catholics.

Nativist Riots broke out again in July after it was discovered that St. Philip Neri’s Catholic Church in Southwark dared to arm itself for protection against the protestant mobs using religion as an excuse for violence. This time, fierce fighting broke out between the Nativists and the soldiers who were sent in to protect the church. The protestant Nativists attacked the soldiers, and numerous deaths and injuries took place. The violence helped nationally fuel criticism of the Nativist movement, which claimed to be victims. The Nativist Riots also exposed the need for local police rather than troops to maintain order. Eventually, the police department was formed and consolidated in Philadelphia in 1854.

With all the immigration both into Europe and the United States, this Soros theory of an Open Society is purely an academic fantasy. They totally ignore culture, which is the key to understanding that such a mixture undermines the unity of the state. The Civil Unrest that our computer is projecting, especially from 2024 onward, will be accelerated as it was during the 1840s by the economic downtrend from May 7th, 2024, to 2028. When the Democrats grant voting rights to these migrants in 2024, the election results will only add to a massive uprising of civil unrest, and we may yet face a separatist movement on a major scale.

Comments From Around the World


Armstrong Economics Blog/Q&A Re-Posted Aug 20, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT #1: Mr. Martin; I read your private blog and your comment that “They stopped counting the votes halfway through and proclaimed Zelensky the winner, which was all rigged.” Nobody I know voted for Zelensky. He was installed by the West and the Oligarchs to wage war and fill their pockets with dollars. Even the Economist finally just reported: “Criticism of Volodymyr Zelensky, the president, has increased, and the reasons for the dissatisfaction are clear.”

You are the only person I have found in the West who reports the truth.

Thank you. It means a lot to us Ukrainians in the middle of this stupid war.

PZ

COMMENT #2: Hello Martin,

Zelensky and his wife visited Sweden today and our prime minister Ulf Kristersson announced the biggest economic support package in our history to a single country going to Ukraine. But it was not enough for Mr Zelensky. He kept asking for our fighter jets JAS Gripen. He just keep on begging for more and more for every country he visits.

They also announced that the swedish battle tank CV 90 are to be manufactured in Ukraine now!

And Mrs Zelenska visited a rehabilitation centre here in Stockholm for Ukrainians injured in the war. And Zelenska talked about how Ukraine needs to be handicap accessible because they are counting on 3-5 million war veterans after this!

Regards MS

COMMENT #3: Marty, they seriously think we are all stupid. Check this article on a Russian missile supposedly striking yet another Ukrainian theatre.

The picture of the fireball is from Lahaina and the aftermath showing the theatre reveals not a single scorch mark

Now, I was a career firefighter for 30 years, and that is some amazing building.

The attack on the X video appears to be fake and may be an example of AI generated video.

We are in deep trouble, because it is going to become increasingly difficult to distinguish between what is real and what isn’t

COMMENT #4: Martin
I think you will find this story interesting.
The other morning I was at the gym. Each day there is a group of Russians, and a couple of Ukrainians that work out. They are all approximately in their late 50’s to 60’s. They do their respective workouts, but they always talk amongst each other.
The conversation with this group is always cordial. I know there can be hatred between the two, but I think we all know there are exceptions to everything. I think most people respect each other and leave it at that.
I was nearby when for whatever reason they started talking about the war in English. The conversation was primarily about each other’s respective family members. They wanted to know if a parent, sibling, or cousin was doing fine along with any fresh news from the old country. One happened to mention a family member that was trying to leave.
Either way, the conversation was going along fine when all of a sudden an American, whom I think is in his late 70s chimed in.
He started out by providing his take on the situation which was mainly what is repeated on TV here.
“I heard no one can get in or out of Ukraine because the government won’t let them and the Russians won’t either.”
While I’m not sure where he possibly heard that their entire group shot back that wasn’t true citing the many people that fled here, Germany, and even Russia itself. They mentioned it was true many people left illegally if they could not navigate the government rules, but most people try going through the proper channels first. The group unanimously expressed it’s very difficult for the men to leave Ukraine which I think is obvious.
Personally, I have a few friends with Ukranian family members that have fled here this past year so I know it’s possible. I also found out they get quite the care package brimming with preloaded debit cards, healthcare access, phones, and more. The migrants from the south get the same treatment too. But back to their conversation.
One of the Russians chimed in by saying “Of course if you know the right people and have money you get anywhere you want. That’s universal and even applies in America”
The whole group started laughing.
That agitated the American a bit. So he tried changing the conversation direction slightly.
He started to spew the standard pro-Zelensky, Russia is the aggressor, and Russia is on the ropes line. Then went into why Ukraine needs more weapons because Russia started the whole thing. Pretty much everything you would expect to be said by an American watching the nightly mainstream news.
Well, the conversation went from smoldering to a rager. The Ukrainians AND the Russians all started shouting at him in disagreement over everything he said.
In essence, they told him most of what he stated is not the entire story, or in some cases false. A comment that stuck out to me, which also made me laugh, came from the quietest in their group.
“Don’t believe what you hear on CNN or Yahoo. It’s all BS. When you live through Communism you must learn how to read between the lines. You Americans haven’t lived through that long enough yet so you don’t know how to figure out what is really being said. You have that[communism] starting here and don’t even know it”
Each one nodded in agreement.
The American became defensive and told them they were full of it. He shook his head and waved his hands at them in disagreement. Not for a second did he ponder if there was any validity to their claim, nor did he seem interested in researching it further. The conversation essentially ended shortly after that.
I know most of this is old news to you.
Thanks for everything you do.

PS. My goal is to make 2023 the first year I attend the WEC either in person or virtual.

COMMENT #5: Happy days from Canadian broadcasting on these horrors.

However, you go to British institutions and we see comments like “The situation in Yellowknife is almost a lost cause”.

Amazing.

Comments on West Kelowna do happen to come from a BC Provincial Minister though who finally tells us what Al Jazeera mentioned last night.

Evacuations, both mandatory and “have your bag ready to go soon” rose to 70,000+. This close the Fort MacMurray disaster some years back.

How is it that these overseas outlets know more than Canadian ones??

COMMENT #6: Hello Martin,
With the fourth indictment against Trump it appears that Fulton County is going to actually go through with making Trump take a mug shot as opposed to how the other jurisdictions have handled it by simply booking him without the mugshot.
Do you think this could backfire politically? Obviously there are plenty of people who hate Trump and would love to see a mugshot of him but to me this seems like a mistake. Martin Luther King’s mugshot from the Birmingham jail didn’t hurt his cause like the segregationists thought it would, instead it made King more sympathetic to a wider audience. Could the same happen here? Might they be overplaying their hand?
From Trump’s perspective there is a lot of good marketing and promotional material that could come of this. He could sell shirts with his mugshot and below it could say:
“Wanted: For President in 2024”
All the best from East Texas,
Greg

COMMENT #7: You said – “The economy was strong before they attempted to BUILD BACK BETTER.”
… and yet, that seems to be EXACTLY what’s going on in Maui right now. Funny how Maui was already tagged as a planned Smart City precinct by Klaus Schwab and Smeagol Harari and friends at the WEF.
Not unlike the unprecedented floods and fires around and through the town of Lismore, NSW Australia, which happens to lie on a planned WEF Smart City corridor. And now the NSW government is hellbent on buying up ALL the property and getting those unwashed masses off of that land corridor. Who would have thought?
If it’s any consolation, you’re preaching to the converted on this subject.
Not that knowing what’s going on seems to be making any difference – seems to me the Fat Lady needs to get her fat butt out of the dressing room and start exercising her fat vocal chords.
Just saying.

COMMENT #8: As a lawyer, I can definitely see you have specialized in constitutional law. We spend little time on that in school. We focus on statutory law. Your father would have been proud of your legal mind. A former staff member told me you have studied the laws of Asia and Europe in order to advise multinational companies. I think that shows in your writing.

PS: Thank you for explaining Shakespeare’s comment that the first thing we do is kill all the lawyers really meant prosecutors.
