Agreed; however, some deep state entities have been making noise. Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell has said he refuses to leave office, he says he "can't be fired.: Here's an article on that: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn4v7vwgqj0o

He is probably part of Senior Executive Services (SES) and they can't be fired. Not ever. We can thank Jimmy Carter for that. But if he thinks Trump can't or won't fire him, he has another thing coming. I've watched Trump for decades; when he takes on a task he always gets it done and always wins.

Then there's the Pentagon. They are saying they will find a way to take Trump out of office and he won't be president. This is out and out, in your face treason. Military law, says penalty for treason is execution.

So, yes, stay frosty, more to come IMO. My money is on Trump/RFK Jr. They both have many reasons to go after deep state and this is a fight to the death, literally.

The federal reserve is supposed to be independent of the government. The president can ask for a chairman's resignation, and sometimes they oblige, but otherwise they serve out their terms without interference from the political class.

He could simply do away with the fed and Powell would be out of a job. Problem solved.

Agreed. I think I just figured out why Trump can fire him: Biden reappointed Powell as chairman in 2022 but Biden's term as president was illegitimate, he wasn't the rightful president. Trump was rightfully elected president but Dems cheated to get Biden in office. If his term was illegitimate, and it was, then Trump can fire Powell, as the appt wasn't legitimate. IMO, Trump may be getting ready to bring out the Loy Brunson decision by U.S. Supreme Court, proving that 2020 election was stolen. If that happens, Trump may become president before Jan. 2020. If you don't know about Loy Brunson case, you might want to look it up, it's an important case.

And you know this how? And how does it apply to the Federal Reserve or Loy Brunson case?

Expand full comment

The President can no more "do away with the Fed" than he can fire the Fed chairman. Andrew Jackson correctly labeled the Fed of his day, the Bank of the United States, a corrupt entity and killed it by refusing to sign the bill to re-charter it- whereupon the BUS triggered a Depression intended to ruin his election chances- but when Jackson sadly informed veterans of the War of 1812 who regarded him as a great hero, that the BUS actions made it impossible to pay their veterans benefits, they correctly blamed the BUS and not Jackson, who was handily re-elected- and left the nation $0.00 in debt, after 8 consecutive balanced budgets and a strong gold-backed dollar, which read "Payable on demand for gold." Compare that to the incredibly complex language and description of the cryptocurrency industry( who stuffed wads of money down Trump's throat (he, who, incidentally hung Jackson's portrait in the Oval Office) that not one man in a thousand can make any sense of. Amazingly, a return to the gold standard- or some standard(!) could be accomplished by making the so-called security strip not out of Mylar(!), but honest-to-God hologrammed gold (or silver.) But that would not be simple enough for the tangled web-weavers who H.L. Mencken branded as "The great practical jokers of the race."

Crypto is more terrifying to me than the worthless paper Federal Reserve notes. Nothing more than digits on a computer somewhere, wiped out with a single power outage or EMP. No, precious metals is where we need to go. Back to silver and gold.

Expand full comment

A return to the gold standard could be as simple as making the so-called security strip in what passes for money today not out of Mylar(!) but real gold (or silver)- in other words, putting the gold literally back in the hands of the people. No longer wondering if it was really in Fort Knox. The Fed, working 24/7 to ram CBDC's down everyone's throat(See Jon Forrest Little's writing) wants nothing to do with that- they want to eliminate cash entirely and put everyone under surveillance with each and every transaction. One of the saddest events in history was when Hitler's goons literally put a gun to the head of the Czech finance minister and ordered him to call the Bank of England, where their gold was stored, and border to transferred to Germany's of the vaults. The BOE knew exactly what was going on but they did it- and Chamberlain had held up a piece of paper declaring he had obtained "Peace in our time." But if Czechoslovakia had put its gold in the hands of its own people instead of shuffling it to England for security, this never would have happened.

My question is this: why is Powell saying that Trump can't fire him?

Expand full comment

I think because he sees the handwriting on the wall and has heard the cries from everyone calling for Trump to end the Fed. He knows Trump wants his own people and he's not one of them even though Trump is the one who put him there in the first place. Go figure.

Expand full comment

Trump put a lot of people in office so he can have them arrested later for crimes they commit. Powell was reappointed by Biden in 2022 and his term expires in 2028; however Biden is illegitimate president and Trump actually won 2020. This is probably going to come out soon, and Trump should now be the president. Powell's appt was illegitimate and that's why Trump can fire him. Just my 2 cents.

The readers here may, but Joe Six Pack certainly does not- and I would suspect that may here do not appreciate that the very Too-Big-to-Fail Banks are the actual owners of the Fed and therefore hold all of us hostage to bailing them out if their own bets go wrong. This is exactly what Andrew Jackson charged when he refused to sign the bill to re-charter the BUS. He said:“Gentlemen! I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of the United States. I have had men watching you for a long time, and am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin!"

While...sort of splitting hairs...but

Without the Fed as buyer of U.S. bonds, and always the implied Backstop if the Primary Dealers can't directly fill their Obligations, and always read to lend money to the Primary Dealers and Foreign Banks to keep the churn machine running, without the Fed at the ready to click new (counterfeited) dollars into existence, then the U.S. Government would have to live within their means.

But, you are correct about 1 important thing. The U.S. Government created the Federal Reserve Monster, for the Private New York Banks, in 1913, and now the Fed heavily feeds these Private Banks, Foreign Policy and Military Adventures.

Has the President, or Congress ever vetoed a proposed hike in the cost of a first class stamp? It was a nickel, in my lifetime. But it is certainly true that the Fed is the enabler of the creation of trillions of new debt- Bernanke and others before stated publicly that the Fed did not monetize the debt, but that is a bald-faced lie. Do they suggest that China, or Japan, or Britain, much less Russia are the ones buying all those bonds? It sure isn't the American people either.

Look at Jan.6 for what is was, a revolt by the people against the Federal government. Trump and his group had a problem with questionable results from an election. He lawyered up and started to investigate what happened and how they did it. He was absolute stifled by the Deep State judiciary of the country, state by state. 100%! His group did not accept the total repudiation and had a rally in DC, much like the pussy hat women’s marches four years prior. Pelosi stopped Trump’s effort to have national Guard supervision of the rally which inflamed itself into a riot. Because the cowardly Dems and RINOS hid in the basement instead of confronting the crowd, it was termed an insurrection by the Deep State, actually Pelosi and two RINOs. What was their goal, to make Pence decide to allow the investigation to continue instead of certifying the election at that moment. That was used by the damnable Deep State to make equivalent the actions against Civil War insurrectionists with these people trying to stop a Deep State abomination.

IMHO, the real insurrectionists were and are the Leftist Deep State that continue today to have total control over this country and destroy the Constitution in their path to totalitarianism. Just listen to them, that is enough to realize who the traitors to the country are.

Expand full comment

Armstrong has gone into a lot more detail, but I don't find it at this time.

"All the evidence shows that January 6th was a Deep State coup to shut down the challenge to any state’s count. The Deep State, with their Neocons, had to get rid of Trump just like JFK because both were anti-war. Pelosi refused to call in the National Guard because they feared that they were Trump supporters. That is why there was a 3-hour delay in asking for the National Guard – the Deep States (FBI/NSA/CIA) were in control. Pelosi used the event to impose emergency rules to block any challenge to the count involving seven states. The Constitution required any challenge to be debated on the full floor. Pelosi imposed a COVID rules restricting the number of people on the floor to just 53. They then imprison anyone who was there except FBI and their operatives while trying to use the 14th Amendment against Trump for what they very cleverly pulled off."

For Outlander fans, the Insurrectionist Battle of Alamance, where the Crown destroyed the rebellion of Regulators. It is considered the first battle of the Revolutionary War. A rebellion of “homeless” at the time against taxation that had destroyed their livelihoods. Jan.6 was actually more serious as these “rebels” considered the repudiation of their votes by a conspiracy of the Deep State judiciary raised them up to a fever pitch, enough to call out the Deep State. These people are heroes as much as the Regulators or the participants of the Boston Tea Party.

I've stated before that "they" will not allow DJT to ascend to the office of president, come hell or high water. I speak of those who are deeply entrenched within the bureaucracy of our government who not only hold expansive power, but more importantly have no issue with using it to whatever end is subject to their whims. Perhaps at one time they subscribed to the notion that the ends justifies the means, but I think it fair to say that this is a relic of the distant past as absolute power is such an intoxicating thing. Now they destroy anyone or anything that they deem a threat to their position in the government - that position amounting to their effectively running the country with the various branches being little more than window dressing to keep the plebes in the dark. We've seen this time and time again, only to be told that we're conspiracy theorists (in the pejorative sense) and to shut up and move on. Those who don't are subject to lawfare. This time the stakes are so high...indeed, their very existence is at play. Given this circumstance, expect anything and everything to prevent DJT from becoming president. If anything, a coup by the military is very possible, though I think this may be their 2nd or even 3rd option.

You have provided a thorough fisking of many of the most culpable among the myriad of culpable government and quasi-government characters who should, were we living in a truly just society, be held criminally and civilly accountable for their high crimes and misdemeanors. But I hold little hope that most, let alone any of them will find themselves on the other side of the lawfare equation. Over the past fifty years, the weasels have been very busy building their dens; it would likely take an equally long time to ferret (sorry for mixing mustilidae metaphors) them out. I will be satisfied if only the most egregious among them are made to answer; perhaps that will serve as a salutary warning to others, like the proverbial killing of chickens to scare the monkeys. And it would give us on the other side at least a smattering of satisfaction after taking so much crap from them these many years.

I don't think Trump is interested in pursuing the culpable en masse. It is a distraction and will serve to re-energize the left, and four years is not a long time. However, he would wise to go after of a few of the worst. Sometimes, you have to hang a nun on the village square to show people that you mean business. Charge someone, and they will be in the position of spending millions of dollars to defend themselves, or cop to a lesser offense. That happens, and all those Deep State types in the various bureaucracies will think twice about pulling anything this time.

Here is what has been in my mailbox and conversations since the election. No one in my expat community has said they are giving up sex, because, sex gave up on us a long time ago. However, this morning three emails from my well traveled financially secure female friends, now moan that we have a convicted felon for a president. My first thought was, you need to clear all this up, but then I thought no it won't do any good. F a c t s do not matter. I suspect, that for 4 years they will be gathering around their margaritas discussing this felon for a president. The other two women of a certain age are going to have to relocate back to the United States due to Medical issues. Of course, they will have Medicare which they're afraid Trump is going to remove. One 70 plus year old was totally distraught because she had been promised by Harris that as a first time homeowner she would get $25,000 to buy that home in very expensive Northern virginia. Of course, nothing was of concern about the various Wars that Biden has involved us in . after all, how was that important when she has just lost $25,000. She would be the first, of course, to complain about $100 in food stamps given to an impoverished woman living outside of Northern virginia. At some point, I just have to give up.

Rejection provides opportunity for reflection, JHK. But, what if your mirror keeps telling you lies that you digest as truth? Well, there you have it. I recall watching the Jim Valvano departure speech on ESPN years ago. As cancer ridden as his body was, he made it to the podium with assistance. He was emotionally charged and energized. I was tearful as he opined. " Never give up."

And more recently in Butler PA on July 13 as the failed assassination of 45 occurred, we heard the refrain, " FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT ."

And we must if our purposefully decayed Constitutional Republic by the Obama surrogacy and the Pavlovian lap dog legacy media is to recover and be sustainable for future generations.

Ian, Trump’s greatest enemy, the same one as the 1st administration, is the Deep State RINOs. Everyone seems to think that now that Trump is the president, everything will start tearing down the Deep State. As evidenced by the election of Thune, the Deep State Senate RINOs are still the majority and I will bet that they are laying in wait to destroy Trump and his team and keep him from decreasing the Deep State. Their goal is to preserve the Deep State and to them Trump is the primary enemy. BTW, Scott got a paltry 14 votes on the first ballot and was eliminated. That means 53 - 14 = 39 Senators voted for a RINO. Not a good sign. Notice as above, the press covered Bush II for the first time in years. Folks, it ain’t over yet.

Sometimes the best strategy is to gently remind an underling that if he/she facilitates the crime committed by his/her boss, he/she can be charged as an accessory to the crime--with same penalties if convicted that would be levied on the boss. The underling on a middling government salary with a spouse, 3 kids, and a big mortgage probably doesn't much want a $250K fine and 5 years in prison for erasing some data. Not to mention losing his/her government job and pension.

Trump is not a politician, or wasn't when he first came to office. He was and is still a businessman. His perspective and thinking was not political. He was too trusting and knew NOTHING about the incestuous workings of DC. He trusted too easily and trusted the wrong people. He has since learned his lesson. He DID NOT, repeat, DID NOT fill the swamp. The swamp, which is actually more of a cesspool, has always been there. The Clinton Crime Family filled the swamp. The Bush Crime Family filled the swamp. The hussein Crime Family not only filled the swamp but politicized and corrupted each and every department. Trump walked into a hornets nest so don't even think of blaming him for filling an already filthy place.

Every inaugural speech is supposed to be about Unity: bringing us all back together as one harmonious nation, after the temporary discord that comes with every election campaign. That ship sailed long ago. In fact, we lost sight of it during Mr. Trump’s first term, when the Democrats replaced Pull Together with Fuck-All.

After the successful sting operation of January 6th provided the Uniparty with a list of political targets to hunt down like dogs and persecute at any length to take them out of circulation, the new Trump administration can harbor no delusions about reconciliation.

tresho - I'm tired of hearing speeches.

Here's a gem: We create our own reality when thought, word and deed (action) are in concert.

The thought is the initial spark. The word, written or spoken, supports and reinforces the thought. All that remains to create any reality is the action.

That's where most people fall short. They have a thought - talk about it - many tirelessly - but fail to take action. It ends there, so that's their reality. If only they'd act, things would be different.

I, for one, am tired of hearing political speeches - expressing a thought, but ultimately with no action, or measurable results.

The process can also be shortened for the sake of saving time and energy - call it efficiency. If the thought is coupled with enough drive, motivation and ambition, it needs not the support or reinforcement of the word.

The word, spoken or written, becomes a waste of time. Thought --> action gets it done. We do an awful lot of thinking, but It's time for us to stop all the talking and start taking the necessary - even if unsettling - action.

I'm still a realist. The issues that plague this country are a cancer that are going to take years to cure, repair or expunge. I don't believe Donald Trump as one single man is going to be able to accomplish this, especially with just one 4 year term and a most like obstructionist Senate. We are still in a lot of trouble and we all know it. The debt. The wars. The inflation. The immigration. Those problems will still exist, Trump or no Trump.

But I am a little more hopeful than before. Here's why:

1. It seems the majority of the public no longer believe what propaganda media is telling them.

2. It seems the majority of the public no longer listen to whacked out millionaire celebrities.

3. It seems the majority of the public are obtaining their information or "news" from alternative sources.

4. It seems the majority of the public still love America, despise its bloated government and want to see things change.

So, yes, I am feeling a little more positive these days. My faith in the American people feels a little more restored. That being said, there were still tens of millions of Americans who voted for communism. That fact along is hard for me to wrap my brain around.

Yup. I encounter so many people who do not understand this. There are likely numerous reasons it fails to register, some of those being: sense of fairness; inability to perceive ones-self taking drastic measures; currently living in a country essentially WROL (without rule of law) being an incomprehensible idea; not seeing these people as table-flippers (destroy what can’t be controlled); the list goes on.

They are a danger to society. They keep exposing their dangerousness with escalating measures, clawing to remain in their power positions. The cure is there, and has history as a guide. Would that it not be so, but reality needs to re-insert itself into these ‘interesting times’ as ascribed to a saying of Chinese origin.

Most people want to be left alone. They’re not out to harm anyone, and expect the same in return. Unfortunately, times occur when stepping out of this way of life, this thought process, is necessary so one can eventually return to the preferred setting.

The last Revolution was under Reagan, when he literally ended the Democratic domination of the South single handedly. Senator Richard Shelby (Rep.

My first experience voting was the November election of 1984, and I cast my ballot for Ronnie. It was amazing how popular Reagan had become.
