Peace Prize:
Trump can’t stop either of the Ukrainian or Gaza wars unless he wants to get himself killed by Congress and CIA.
To self preserve, he has had to go along with both wars.
Trump won’t win any peace prizes by owning the 2 wars.
But he might make his legacy that of Genocide.Trump Economics:
It is all about gaining the US government more borrowing room to pile on more debt in service to the powers that be.
TPTB simply can’t stay in power unless they can load up their tax slaves with even more debt.Right now tariffs have created enough uncertainty that everyone seems to be just waiting on the sidelines, before making any big decisiins, to see how things work out.
So I think economic growth will remain sluggish for the rest of 2025.
Has anyone seen any reports on how busy new US plant construction has bèen lately?Zerosum:
I am guessing the 10% tariff on tarsand crude heavy oil is an effort to further widen the discount on the oil from the tarsands.
Time will tell if the discount widens making tarsand oil cheaper for US buyers.
Certainly, the tarsand oil companies will see less revenue.Imposing Tariffs/Sanctions:
Trump doesn’t have the ability to impose Tariffs or Sanctions on others.
He can only put Tariffs/Sanctions on the US!Saying they are Russian, EU, or Brazilian, is just blaming someone else for what you are doing to yourself!
Media Distractions:
Are we being distracted by conspiracy theories?
Are they black or white hat conspiracy theories?Bondi:
It is 6 months plus and no arrests, day!
To The Last Ukrainian:
They are fighting to the last “poor” Ukrainian!
No rich Ukrainians are being harmed by the war.Aspnaz:
Yes, the US could “self finance” themselves by just printing money, like Lincoln did by issuing “greenbacks”, to finance the Cival War, instead of borrowing from British Bankers, as was expected.
Lincoln got a bad case of lead poisoning for doing this.The bankers fixed this oversight in 1913 by creating the Fed.
So you either, borrow money created out of thin air from the bankers, or you die!
Those are your only 2 choices!Financial Repression:
Just a reminder the US government needs “Financial Repression” to deal with it’s huge debts that it has no intention of ever repaying.
“Financial Repressiin” mean holding interest rates lower than inflation, to slowly but surely inflated the debt away.
Thus Trump constantly demanding the Fed’s Powell lower interest rates, now.
But don’t worry, the US Treasury Dept is now moving to implement “Financial Repression” !
The New Mr. Z:
MofA has a nice photo of the new Mr. Z to replace the old Mr. Z!
Hint: New boss same as old boss.
D.B. Smith:
Moving an RV every 2 hours solves nothing!
Let’s see.
Move the RV 2 feet!
Switch license plates.
Remove license plates.
Put spikes on roads for the police cars.
Call Waynemore taxis, smear sensors to block streets.
Constantly block streets, day and night.
Dump buckets of welcoming solids and liquids on police/cars.EU/US Tariffs:
First, the EU has no control over what tariff Trump applies on the US.
Second, the EU by accepting the 15% tariff rate set by Trump, doesn’t have to alter most of their existing tariffs.
So, did the EU really lose that much of their existing tariff/VAT non-tariff status quo?
No!
Same for Japan.
All of these politicians are merely squabbling over is how much their tax slaves have to pay to whom.Yesterday, Alan Dershowitz shamelessly was calling for a “special prosecutor”.
Today, he shows up in the top 10, on Epstein’s power list!
Coincidence, or enemy action?FBI Raiding Trump’s Florida Home:
The most interesting thing about the FBI raiding Trump’s Florida home, is that Trump knew they would be coming, just not exactly when.
Thus the secure locked file room guarded by the SS.More importantly, the FBI raid allows for any future legal prosecutions to be done in Florida, not in Washington DC.
A very smart legal move by Trump.Palestinians:
Palestinians are the original Jews forced to convert to Muslim.
The new or fake Jews want to exterminate the old Jews
No Arab country wants either) the new or old Jews in their countries.
So the old Jews are screwed as nobody wants them.
The new Jews are behaving like Nazis.Alan Dershowitz:
He is calling for a special prosecutor!
Trust no one calling for a special prosecutor, congress’s dirty trick played on voters, over and over, to ensure no one is ever prosecuted!He is 100% deep state/Dem/Uniparty trash.
Don’t be fooled by his call for a special prosecutor.
He wants to ensure no one gets prosecuted.
He is being a two faced lier.
His record speaks for itself.Celticbiker:
There has always been 2 sets of laws.
One set for the rulers.
One set for the ruled.The rulers are above the law.
The ruled are under the law.All my ancestors came to North America because of the actions of the rulers.
All were driven.Sadly, the same rulers on both sides of the Atlantic.
Dr. John Day:
Google catching a naked man in Argentina reminds me of a photo miscue by the Milwaukee mining equipment manufacturer’s photographer, that I once worked for.
The company featured a big colored photo of a customer’s large dragline with a 360 foot long boom on the front cover of their company’s magazine.
However, a sharp eyed little old lady, using a magnifying glass, spotted the dragline’s operator standing at the top of the boom, taking a leak!
Hummingbird Clearwing Moth:
Today, my daughter saw for the first time, a Hummingbird Clearwing Moth pollenating her impatient flowers!
This moth flies just like a hummingbird or a bumble bee.
Unlike most moths, it flies during the day.
We never knew such a thing existed!Special Prosecutor – Washington’s Inside Joke:
In Washington DC, it, is very hard to be convicted of any crime.
Congress has made everything they do, legal.A “Special Prosecutor” is Washington’s dirty trick they play on voters to ensure no one ever gets prosecuted.
The best Trump can do is lawfare, where the process is the punishment.
If Bondi mentions the words “Special Prosecutor”, then you will know that nobody is going to be prosecuted,Socialism:
If you really want to find out quickly why Socialism doesn’t work, try getting 20 people to dig a hole!
People are the problem!P.S. What did Raul put in today’s TAE? 100 plus!
AI = Artificial intelligence:
AI is only as good as it’s lowest common denominator.
That denominator is less than zero!Think about who is creating AI.
The creators have few if any morals or rules.
They subcontract the work of creating AI to the lowest bidder, I.e. offshore like India.
One AI used people in India, pretending to be AI!
They are using existing data bases to jump start their AI learning.
We know existing data bases are full of errors and corruption.
We know many AI code programmers are fake programmers.
These fakes have no morals, but AI uses them.We know AI doesn’t know when it is lying.
AI can not tell the difference between truth, lies, or deliberate bias mis-programming.
We know AI is being jump programmed by other AI programs.We know AI programs are being de- bugged, the Microsoft way.
The AI creators don’t care who or how many they hurt with their AI programs.
AI creators don’t care about harming the environment either!We know AI is being created and programmed by just a few of the world’s most evil people
So AI is being built by the most evil, corrupt, immoral, dishonest, lying, narcissist people.
AI = Zeros and Ones
Master = Slave
Inhuman = Human
Cruelty = SufferingDon’t you feel better now,0 knowing nothing has changed!
Lying AI Lies:
I will lie sweet lies to you today.
I will lie more sweet lies to you tonight.
If you love me tomorrow, I will lie all day
I will lie about the lies I told you last night.Blob:
There was a blob on my tablet screen.
It is OK.
It was just jam!Spuddle Spuddlers:
Trump appointed Bondi as AG because she is a certified spuddler!
She is only capable of arresting and prosecuting innocent people!
Despite their being innocent, she still failed to convict them!
There are no innocent people in Washington DC!
This is why the senate gladly confirmed her as AG!
Trump no longer needs to worry about being constantly impeached!
The 535 criminals in Washington DC need not worry about the law ɓeing applied!
As usual, they are all too busy raping taxpayers.Zerosum:
Thanks for the C & C link.
Now I better understand the trap the deep state set over Epstein.
There are the untampered court sealed 2019 DoJ Prosecutor/Grand Jury presentation files, never meant to be publically released.
Then there is Biden’s DoJ “Trojan Horse” Epstein Files stuffed full of anti – Trump material meant to totally destroy Trump, when released.
Now I understand Trump’s Hoax call.
I really like traps, that catch the trap setter!
War Bonds:
The real problem “they” want to distract you from, with the Epstein Files, is the fact that the MIC and deep state are having problems finding someone to buy their Empire’s War Bonds, otherwise known as US Treasury Bonds.
You see, “they” can not continue WW3 for the Empire, unless “they” can borrow more of other people’s money to spend.
Right now, the Empire is having to buy up all of the “unsold” US War bonds, to hide this fact from the public.
“They” will go broke and lose WW3, if they have to keep buying their own War Bonds!So you need to step up and support the Empire’s war, by buying more War Bonds!
poppie:
Tariffs will distort reality if left in place long enough and high enough.
Tariffs were in place from about 1800 to 1900 in the US and you could observe the distortions.
Some people benefited greatly while others (most) paid the costs.
So winners and losers.Canada has tariffs, so we are no saints!
That other countries have tariffs, shows what local big money can do to gain advantages over their fellow countrymen.
But if economic distortions get too great, then the smuggling industry pops up to try and equalize prices!
Note: Due to US tariffs, US/Canada cross border traffic is way, way down. My 2 American cottage neighbors say it has never been easier and faster crossing the border! Just one or two cars ahead of them both ways.
My son works at a Canadian border marina and he said things are much slower this summer than last summer.
So maybe everybody is doing stay home vacations, since they don’t know what the economic fallout due to tariffs will be?
I think the US will do much better than say Canada or Mexico will.
poppie:
.
I am not aware that these are msm talking points.I get that “tariffs are not casing prices going up”, is a msm talking point.
But it takes time before the real effects of tariffs show up.
I fully understand why Trump has introduced tariff “taxes” on the US.
For the same reason other countries have tariffs.US Tariffs Create Uncertainity:
Trump’s tariffs have created uncertainity for many people and businesses inside of the US and also around the world.
Uncertainty causes people everywhere to pause decision-making on everything in their lives.
They are simply waiting to see what happens.This impact will take time to be caught in economic figures.
Certainly this action is happening in Canada as many local businesses are seeing a slowdown.
Could there be a recession coming to countries outside of the US?
US Tariff Driven Inflation:
It takes months before tariff driven inflation will be noticed by CPI in the US, due to an order time lag.
(US retailers are just placing their Xmas orders now, so there is at least a 3 or more month order/delivery time lag.)
June CPI US inflatiin figures, out in mid July, barely caught the beginning of tariff driven inflation.
July CPI US inflation figures, out in mid August, will pick up even more tariff driven inflation.
August CPI inflation figures, out in mid September, will pick up even more tariff driven inflation.
September CPI inflation figures, out in mid October, will pick up even bigger tariff driven inflation.Trump will say correctly, this tariff driven inflation is just a temporary blip.
But goods in the US will cost more, since everybody’s costs will have increased.Lack Of Tariff Deals:
The lack of negotiated tariff deals is no surprise.
Countries have all realized that it is simply better to let Trump set a tariff rate for trade with the US, than to try and negotiate a deal.
By accepting Trump’s tariff rate, they then don’t have to change any of their own tariffs.
If they negotiate, then Trump will demand that they make many big changes to their own tariffs.So, it is easier and simpler to not negotiate with Trump, and just accept and deal with Trump’s tariff rates.
Afterall other countries can’t stop Trump from taxing Americans!
Ukraine War:
Only one country is bring peace to the Ukraine, Russia!
Everybody else is bring war to the Ukraine!
Trump Needs Financial Repression To Deal With Debt:
To deal with it’s debts, the US needs to have “Financial Repression”.
Financial Repression” involves using inflation to lessen the debts burden, while suppressing current interest rates.
This how the US dealt with it’s WW2 debts.
Suppressing interest rates reduces the current interest payments while inflation silently does it’s dirty work.
(Replacing Powell to get lower interest rates.)Thus, you are being doubled screwed at the same time!
From the front and rear.
What’s there not to like?Zerosum:
At any point in time when you need to make a decision, everything is always as clear as mud!
I think it has always been thus.
My parent’s wisdom, sure helped though.
US Debt Problem:
Since Joe was making the US debt problem much worst, the deep state had to switch to Trump to keep on kicking the can down the road, some more.
Clearly, adding millions more useless eaters, and killing millions of existing US tax slaves, wasn’t strengthening the US empire.Solving the US debt problem isn’t acceptable to the deep state because actually solving the US debt problem, would mean eliminating the US empire!
Not acceptable!
The deep state would then lose most of their power!
Not only that, but the US bankers would also object to losing their power and money too.The problem of US debt is now so big that it is forcing the US to try and dump more of the costs of maintaining it’s empire, upon it’s vassel states, using import tariffs to try and make the US economy stronger to support and service more US debt.
That it weakens the US’s vassels can’t be helped as the deep state has no other option, except try and buy more “TIME”.
“TIME” is something that Putin, by waging war in the Ukraine very slowly is not giving the US empire, because it is draining the US empire’s resources trying to finance the war.
Would you willingly buy long term US debt, knowing the US empire is losing?
If you can’t afford to finance a war, you will lose the war.0AI To Eliminate Many Low Paying Jobs:
US Solutiin: Close the border and deport illegal aliens.
Guess Joe didn’t see the AI revolution coming and opened the border to make the endless low wage aliens a big problem creating a voter’s backlash..US Treasury Took Over Fed In February 2021:
Just in case you didn’t know.
Naturally, the msm media didn’t tell you this happened.
The only thing the US Treasury ever has to sell, is more USD debt.
Selling more USDs has become much more difficult since Joe seized $300 billion of the Russian Central Bank’s US Treasury bonds.
The rest of the world, did notice!
Can’t leave the serious business of selling of USDs in the hands of private Wall Street Bankers.
The USD is now a national security problem!
Enter US Stablecoin legislation requiring 100% USD backing to sell more US Treasury bonds!
Stable Stablecoin looks and acts like a central bank digital currency.
Your Stablecoin can be easily deleted, if they don’t like you!Never Let a good debt problem go to waste!
Silver:
Today silver finally broke above $38 and the gold to silver ratio fell below 90.
What it means, I don’t know.
Whatever it was, isn’t now.Oh Stupid Canada:
PM Carney gets his August 1st, 35% tariff letter from Trump (with an extra 10% added on) for being an EU/Globalist jerk!
Canadian dollar – ) meh!
tdk:
Yes, Trump lying is unfortunately part of any deal with the deep state.
Or do you prefer the 4 great years of Biden’s non-deals?Yeah, the only choice is often between bad and worst.
The Ancients didn’t have a problem with pedophilia because there were no age laws regarding sex with girls.
Sex/marriage at any age was fine because girls had no rights.Mail ordered brides were quite common in the old days.
It kept a lot of painters busy making miniature head portraits of your bride!
How much could you trust the painter’s portrait?Trump Isolated:
It kind of looks like Trump has been successfully neutered by the deep state.
Noirette earlier noted that there is no first lady living at the White House these days.
Trump seems to be isolated in the White House now.
So some things are strangely different, compared to Trump’s first term.
Is Trump now more focused, than in his first term?
But on some things in his second term, Trump has been completely successful, like closing the southern border, implementing tariffs, etc.
But we also see the compromises that he has had to make with the deep state, like Epstien files, and we don’t like it one bit!⁹
Trump’s second term seems to be about making what deals, with the other 535 crooks in Washington DC., that he can, because his time is rapidly running out.
Society:
A well run Society limits the opportunities for elities to abuse their people.
A poorly run Society provides unlimited opportunities for elities to abuse people.
How does the Uniparty act and behave?
Pretending/Not Pretending:
Most people prefer to live their lives by “Pretending not to know”.
A minority of people prefer to live their lives by “not Pretending to know”.
Realists are always labeled as “negative” by the pretenders.
Ukrainian TTC Conscription Centers:
Ukrainian TTC conscription employees are now more hated by Ukrainian people than the Russians!
So, now Russian drones are starting to attack the TTC centers, not at night but during the day!
Just another very good reason to resist violently being caught by the TTC conscription employees.
One might now die in the TTC center before reaching the front!Ukrainians are busy informing the Russians where all of the TTC centers are!
More and more of the hated Ukrainian TTC employees are now being killed via car bombs, etc.than ever before.
