I've seen a few banners hanging up on freeway overpasses that state "She was 13". My assumptions are that these relate to allegations that #Trump engaged in pedophilia. Perhaps the deep state is prepping people for when they move to dump Trump. However, I also find the argument of somewhat convincing that if #Israel had compromat on Trump, they would have released it by now to keep him in line regarding the #Iran War.

## The Sixth Republic of America ## > "Then came September 11, 2001. The attacks of that day and the wars that followed were accompanied by a series of transformations at home. The most obvious manifestations were the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, the expansion of surveillance powers, the normalization of endless military interventions, and the growth of the intelligence bureaucracy. But the deeper transformation concerned the organization of political power itself. > > "Congress became increasingly marginal to governance. Major policy decisions migrated toward executive agencies, courts, intelligence institutions, emergency declarations, and presidential directives. Budgeting devolved into perpetual crisis management conducted through enormous omnibus bills that few legislators read and even fewer genuinely shaped. Presidents of both parties increasingly governed through executive orders, administrative guidance, emergency powers, and regulatory interpretation. > > "The legislature remained. Its constitutional forms survived. Yet its practical role steadily diminished. This is precisely the sort of “revolution within the form” that Garet Garrett described nearly a century ago. The shell remained intact while the substance changed. > > "The defining institution of the Fifth Republic was the administrative agency. The defining institution of the Sixth Republic is the security-administrative state: a fusion of bureaucratic governance, executive power, intelligence institutions, permanent emergency management, and increasingly symbolic legislative oversight." https://mises.org/mises-wire/sixth-republic#:~:text=Then%20came%20September,symbolic%20legislative%20oversight The US #GovtIsTheProblem #USA250

> "Prior to 1913, most Americans had little direct interaction with federal authorities. Afterward, Washington increasingly inserted itself into citizens’ economic lives." https://tinyurl.com/4x2neyhp This time period (ca. 1870-1910) is often called "The Gilded Age". It could also be called the Third American Republic. View quoted note →

I, for one, welcome the creation of a super-app. Actually, several, that would compete to be the best. #nostr-ideas

Reminds me of a time in my early 20s when my boss was telling me about something from the past and I told her "I don't know anything about that. That was before my time." And she was like "That's no excuse! Pick up a book. READ!" 😂 View quoted note →

> "After weekend talks, the US side, led by Vice President JD Vance, is celebrating as a “breakthrough” that the Strait of Hormuz is open again and that Iran has reportedly agreed to the return of UN inspectors. But the Strait was open before this war and UN inspectors were in Iran before President Trump unilaterally pulled out of the JCPOA “Iran Deal” in his first term. > > "The only difference now is that we burned through likely several hundred billion dollars, we lost dozens of aircraft and other military equipment, and we likely lost more service members than the Pentagon is admitting."

> "Imagine: > > No income tax or IRS. Americans were free to keep 100 percent of their income, and there was nothing the federal government could do about it. > > No Social Security or welfare state. People took care of their own retirements out of the money they saved over their lifetimes from not having to pay income taxes. Those seniors who were unable to take care of themselves relied on children or voluntary charity. > > No Medicare or Medicaid. No government provision of healthcare. > > No Federal Reserve or paper money. Gold coins and silver coins were the official money, as established by the Constitution. Thus, no government-induced inflation or debasement of the currency. > > Minimal immigration controls. Millions of immigrants flooded into the United States, adding to the enormous surge in economic prosperity. > > No national-security state — i.e., no Pentagon, CIA, or NSA. No state-sponsored assassinations, coups, or regime-change operations. Instead, a limited-government republic with a minimally sized army. > > No foreign wars, except the Spanish American War that statists foisted onto America in 1898. > > No sanctions, embargoes, or blockades. > > No drug laws or drug war and therefore, no drug lords, drug cartels, or drug-war violence. > > No regulation of economic activity, including minimum-wage laws. > > Virtually no occupational-licensure laws. > > Hardly any public-school systems and mandatory-attendance laws. Education was mostly a voluntary seeking process rather than a mandatory cramming process. > > One fact is undeniable: This was the most unusual and the freest — from an economic standpoint — period of time in the history of man. It was also the most prosperous and the most charitable period that mankind had ever seen." What America was like, ca. 1870-1910
