re: The debate.  Imo, both lost

Trump:  nothing new = “old”.  His Worst fail - Didn’t really freshly elucidate policies

Harris: Didn’t run far away from Biden and certainly didn’t run far enough from her herself and her own past ... ie now ‘running’ as a moderate as a moderate (and being ‘painted’ by the media as a moderate) when she has always been the opposite of a moderate before... big lies are easier than little lies, etc, etc.  Hm ... more of the   "We got 70 days to act right, y'all. Now, after 70 days, we can go back to acting crazy, right?" Rev. Mark Thompson on Day 3 of the DNC in Chicago.  Her Worst fail - Didn’t really reveal any policies...

In a way, the debate was 3 against 1... Examples:  Trump was ‘fact’ checked 5 times.  Harris was ‘fact’ checked 0 times - while she told at least 7 little stinkers of her own that also should have been ‘fact’ checked... not to mention the big lies about what she want’s for / to do to the ‘republic’, the constitution / bill of rights.  ...such as - just bcse she has a gun does not mean she wants you to have one... etc, etc. 

Anyways, they all 4 delivered their lines and ALL of us lost.  ... just sayin’

One more thing re: the debate - no one mentioned the national 'debt', / the printing of  fake money that literally IS the massive inflation?

No one mentioned the 100 nations planning to 'join' the BRICS starting in 2025... and boy are they ever in for a shock...

ALL of us lost in that debate, americans, europeans, indians, middle easterners, mexicans, asians, australians, etc etc .  ... just sayin’

The income tax saga is even a better example than this but is too long and complicated so...

 

 Things every US citizen should know and remember about Social Security

 

Short History Lesson on Your Social Security Card . . . Just in case some of you didn't know this... and it doesn't matter whether you are ‘progressive or ‘conservative . . . If you don't believe, Facts are Facts ... it's easy to check out...

Franklin Roosevelt, a progressive Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program.

He promised:
1.) That participation in the Program would be Completely voluntary.
No longer Voluntary

2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program.
Now 7.65% on the first $90,000.

3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year.
No longer tax deductible

4.) That the money the participants put into the independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program.
Under Democrat President Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and Spent.

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.
Under Democrats Clinton & Gore Up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed.

Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes.   Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION, was removed.

Actually, Democrat President Kennedy and Sergeant Shriver were the first ones to misuse the Social Security account.  They used Social Security funds to start the Peace Corps.   Not the first or last time our money has been taken from American citizens and given to foreign governments.

Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we were taxed and paid to the Federal government to 'put away' -- you may be interested in the following:

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democrat Party.

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A:  Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.   Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments!   The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!

Q: Which Political P arty expanded the scope of the Social Security retirement program to include 'disablities'

A:Who fkn cares... Point is that should be an entirely different program... distinct from 'retirement'  program

Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!  Old Soviet / Saul Alinsky trick - accuse the other side of what you are perpetrating...

As I shouted 4 years ago folks, the cheat is on.  The easiest states are those like PA where you can mail in as many votes as you need to win ... postmarked even after election day.

All the media has to do is repeat over and over again is how close it is...

The only thing Karmela has made her positions clear on and really stood up for this whole dam campaign is abortion ‘rights’.   A lot of ‘liberal’ women don’t understand how men can have ANY say in the matter.   “It’s my body” etc etc.  Well, men start to get a say when the interests of the unborn male or female person are completely fkn disregarded - that’s when.  I don’t quite know what it’s like to go through utero process in an unloved, or maybe worse, an ambivalent ‘field’, but speaking as a human, adoption seems to be preferable to a saline abortion or a knitting needles abortion or a drug that starves the fetus to death abortion or a plain old standard black clinical abortion.  Karmela has definitely not made friends with unborn babies... Tim Tampon Walz also hasn’t made friends with unborn babies.  Instead he literally said “I’ve made friends with school shooters”.  Folks on some levels it’s ok to be a school shooter if it’s ok to be an abortion doctor... both performing the same task... both ending lives.  Absurd?  Yes.  But no more absurd than the devaluation of life shit ‘social engineering’ is attempting to normalize... just sayin’

Nothing wrong with being a ‘progressive’. Nothing wrong with being a ‘conservative’. 

Very generally, ‘conservatives’ have preponderance of the here and now neurotransmitters, prefer empirical references, the rule of law, and value individual agency (It has been said that conservatives love humans and progressives love humanity) .

Very generally, ‘progressives’ are dopaginaric - driven by passion for a better possible future, prefer references to others  (Example Karmela won’t answer questions with facts.  She cites the opinion of 18 ‘experts’), have a penchant for rule by man/mobs not by law , and value ‘societal' agency. 

However, excesses of either tendency indicates mental illness, collective malaise, and has consequences.  When either camp is systematically captured by control seekers and/or, situationally by mobs, the whole is lessened. A key sign that is occurring is when one side no longer allows disagreement.  Progressives have  currently gone crazy in those excesses and are no longer allowing anything but unithought... examples -

You can still be a vocal pro choice republican.  Try being a vocal pro life democrat. For snicks just try it.  You’ll get cancelled. 

Bust a myth about blacks in America, true up the real  history of Republicans ending slavery and what has happened since, how the democrats are the party of the KKK, how Obama did not a fkn thang for blacks in general, be a black republican, etc.    You will get canceled in a heartbeat.

Step up and question the social agendas of federally subsidized schools at a board meeting... get treated like shit and also get an immediate case number with the FBI ...

Question the requirements to watch and lickkiss the 'rainbows' and also make sure your kids show up for it, not to mention fund transitions out of your pocket and see what you get ‘labeled’

Question mainstream media bias - even just to mention that biased, agenda driven narrative is different from truth in reporting - and see what happens to your voice...

Excesses have consequences... imbalances have consequences... just sayin’

Dear B4 #42,

I heard you can't get out of bed and decided you were going celibate and shaved your head and “reconsidered” having children.  If it took Trump getting elected to get you to stop fkn every Dum, Harry, and Dick you meet, we’ll take it.  thx

Sincerely just sayin’

re TikTok

Recently metafakebook made what was apparently a move to stay aligned with ‘culture’ - no more fact ‘checking’, no more censorhip... basically ‘Zucker’ was shown that his mission was failing because they were only building profiles on ‘useful idiots’ instead of those who oppose the great centralization  (... just like long ago he only saw campus potential and had to be shown the promise and rewarded for fronting the great spyware and social engineering project called Fakebook)... ie they could have replaced him long ago

In the same vein, who holds ‘title’ to tiktok doesn’t matter either... it will remain a spyware project regardless of who ‘buys’ it... and the data will forever be available to the CCP

Just sayin’

“re” means over and over.  Contrary to what you have been / are being taught - here is something that needs to be repeated millions of times.

FDR / newDeal made things worse!  Today, “woke services” are making things worse!

The democratic party is now purposefully controlled by an extremely radical 10% of the membership... So ... “follow the money” -  above the surface you’ll find all the distorted screamers  and ‘woke’ corporate fascists ,  near the surface disturbed technocratic ‘billionaires’,  and in the depths you’ll find  the CCP ... which is voraciously buying as many politicians as possible... 

Gave In Newsom is prime example... he will now temporarily move to the center or wherever the CCP tells him to move, but make no mistake he’s itching to resume his failed extreme policies.. more and more governmental capture of capital, etc etc - all of which serve nothing but damage to an aging republic...  just sayin'

“The democratic party is now purposefully controlled by an extremely radical 10% of the membership... “  That leaves most traditional democratic and millions of independent voters unrepresented.  Will they recognize that and do something about it?  We’ll see ...

///

Big picture Fiscal situation:   ‘they’ got about 8 weeks max to turn the ship ... pass ‘radical’ bills, etc. etc etc  ... or Trump’s 2nd term is wrecked... a waste... a stupid interruption on the way to the end of the road ... when and where the can can no longer be kicked... nothing has happened for decades and decades and decades, now ‘decades’ need to happen in a few weeks... odds are low...

And as far as the US economy goes ... ‘forget’ the media over and over narratives about (actually exploitive, btw)  labor supply issues - Use our energy advantage to move productivity here.  Trump needs to continue to aggressively MOVE capital OUT of the gov’t. ... needs to hasten the transition out of the ‘biden’ economy.   Stop the trivial tweaking the economy with threats and retreats.  Don’t worry or blabber about consumer sentiment and activity... it’s about time for a fkn return to good consumer practices at the individual and family levels anyways...Don’t fall for the deflation bs either...

Re: Trade and Tariffs.  Fkn drop this  fentanyl boolsht... focus on reciprocity... bust the inequities. re “free trade” vs “fair trade”, Friedman wasn’t considering having to  deal with the likes of the CCP, etc.  Contrary to the narratives other 'cultures' have beat into their own heads and the narratives they are trying to beat into us, the US was not built on their countries’ backs.  The US economy emerged on its own.  A more accurate narrative accentuates that they were all built/rebuilt with our help... mostly after globalist kinetic, ideological ( and trade) wars.   Examples are Germany, France, etc. Japan, Korea, smaller SE Asian countries, etc. and then, via some MONSTER lies, China during the 80’s, 90’s, 00,s... Russia is the prime example of a country too stubborn to accept a 'rebuild'... . Anyways, fk this “we don’t want a trade war” narrative ! We’re already in a trade war and have been in one for decades now.  All those countries and mouthpieces who are hypocritically whining have been charging more tariffs than we have for fkn decades.  Going forward - If other countries’ gov’ts subsidize and engage in theft, make them pay.

Hello citizens of the U.S.

The hundred year trade war has leaked over into a trading war. Your equity holdings are under attack by huge sovereign funds shorting relentlessly... running basically the opposite of  PPT operations.  As an American you are blessed to be totally responsible for your own assets - the govt won’t and can’t take care of you, your lame ass whuss ‘retail’ fund managers go catatonic  and can't / won’t help you, etc etc.... If you’re going to hold your positions, it’s on you to hedge your holdings.  

Don’t blame Trump, don’t blame the system, don’t even blame the ‘enemies’ - ie don’t blame period.  Just occupy the freedom and responsibility you have and act. 

The only mistake ‘Trump’ made so far was not to warn you more explicitly and remind you of your options to hedge weeks ago.   FWIW when Trump got elected... I also failed to explicitly remind you... just sayin’

"We see again and again, within environmental organizations, within leftist political groups, the  same bullying of underlings, the same power grabs, the same egoistic rivalries as we see everywhere else.  If these are played out in our organizations, how can we hope that they won't be played out in the world we create should we be victorious?"  Charles Eisenstein just sayin'

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
