When you're directed to fight someone, your ultimate enemy is not the someone. It's the director.

Democracy is the ultimate system for tyranny. WAY more than with a monarchy. In a monarchy there is a clear distinction between the ruler and the ruled. There’s no doubt on who is who. In a democracy, the people are suckered into believing that they are BOTH the ruler and the ruled. A logical impossibility. So when voters realize that the live in a tyranny, they have to believe that they themselves are to blame; they voted for it. They falsely believe that they ARE the government. And they can’t ever vote themselves out! In this world, there are the rulers and the ruled. You cannot be both, unless you want to live in a totalitarian society.

After the 'Civil War,' America was consolidated into a single centralized state. Control a single point, and you control it all. In 1913, power over the centralized American state would pass into the hands of bankers - with the establishment of the Federal Reserve Act. In 1865, the American Revolution was partially reversed. In 1913, the American Revolution was completely reversed. And here we are in 2025, with a single centralized monster government, controlled by bankers.

What a sad ending: “Here…take this chachki and get out of here.”

A U.S. Representative should not be making blanket and collectivist statements like this. An American citizen (simply by being a human being) can be against the ethnic cleansing being carried out by the Israeli *state.* An American citizen can be against its own government supporting the Israeli state's actions with American tax money. Neither position is anti-semitism.

Christian Zionism is an oxymoron. It’s as incompatible as if someone were to invent Christian Maoism.

$9.4 billion. Consider that the US sent HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS to Ukraine. Israel received $23 Billion since Oct. 7th alone. By their actions, you’d think the US government despises the American people.

American history is littered with ethnic cleansing and treating other nations as "lesser races." We weren't alive back then to criticize their actions. We are alive today though. And today we are faced with yet another U.S. sponsored ethnic cleansing in Gaza, in partnership with Israel. Speak out and criticize it often. https://mises.org/mises-wire/american-israeli-nineteenth-century-ways-war

It's anecdotal, but prices are still rising for me. No relief...not even on eggs. Cutting rates and more inflation is not something I want.

Socialists are not "comrades." They are many sects that struggle for power. Duping the public is the easy part. But grabbing (and holding) the reins of power from other Socialists is the real challenge. After all, the goal of the Socialist is to be on top, to be the dictator, to give the orders. In America, the "struggle" between Republicans and Democrats are a perfect example. They work together against the public. That's easy. But they fight like cats and dogs against each other to implement *their* version of Socialism.

Imagine calling yourself the "land of the free." But in that land, you can't criticize a specific foreign nation. I'm sure foreigners that come here can criticize China, or Hungary, or New Zealand, or Spain. But one country (and it's not the U.S.) they cannot criticize.

Elon's experience shows us what "our democracy" really is at its root: A uniparty state. You can have all the votes, and all the major public support that you want. You can even be the richest man in the world! But if you even try to roll back the uniparty state.... The Left will turn to their usual violence. The Right will kick you to the curb -- and EXPAND the state even more!

If only America could take care of America. And not be perpetually involved in non-America issues.

I'm not interested in the government taking in more money. They're the parasitic class. The citizens should have less burdens...Let the government operate on scraps. The government isn't taking in more money to get their house in order either. Their spending and debt are increasing substantially.

The federal government does NOT cherish the states. Countless examples of natural disasters have proven that. The federal government doesn't care about the people in the states either, as all of our money is wasted on wars and empire. "Golden Dome" is another golden boondoggle for the military-industrial complex. Adding a bunch of leftists from Canada to our nation is a bad idea. Let them take California and New York off of our hands instead.

The irony of Trump STILL messing around with the Ukraine war -- while wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat. Ukraine isn't America! Get out of there!

Trump mastered knocking back the Democrats. Democrats keep coming at Trump with their made-up bullshit, and he beats them. But the Democrats keep coming back for more beatings. Russia has done the same with NATO and America. Sanctions, Sanctions, Sanctions....Endless money and weapons. Russia keeps beating them back. And yet NATO (and Trump) keep going back for more beatings. They won't do the right thing and walk away. America needs A LOT of work! The heck with war with Russia! Take care of our own country for once.

Just as He was enemy #1, so has His Catholic Church been enemy #1 for the last 2000 years. Just as He was crucified, so must His Catholic Church be crucified. Just as He carried the Cross, so must the members of His Catholic Church carry the cross. Just as He was betrayed by His inner circle, so is His Catholic Church betrayed from within. Just as His bones were never broken, neither will the bones of His Catholic Church be broken. Just as He was resurrected, so will members of His Catholic Church be resurrected. There is nothing new under the sun.

When Trump campaigned, he should have been more honest. He should have said: “You’re going to make weapons for the empire. Watch the first season of Andor. It’ll be something like that. We’re not going to get rid of government so that you can have small businesses. You’re going to make missiles that our politicians autograph. Then Israel will drop them on women and children. Make America Great Again.”
