I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
Jasmine Crockett to Pam Bondi:
So much respect for Jasmine Crockett.
You made it, you own it
You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.
I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.
I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.
I want to be soft. I want to be steady.

This is yet another sobering reminder to stop placing our faith in politicians. Whether or not “our guy” won, We the People need to hold them accountable for representing the will of the public and remembering they are here to *serve* us—not corporations, not lobbyists, not tribal factions, not globalists. It is time for them to start fearing the people instead of the people fearfully bowing to them. Politicians are beholden to us and hold power only by our permission, which can and will be withdrawn if they fail in their duty to represent us.
And how do you suggest we do that? The only thing I can see that might restructure our system into something more resembling a constitutional republic is a constitutional convention and putting more support and effort into the Convention of States et al. But few people are politically involved to that extent. The other giant problem I see is that young adults (18-29) broke hard for Democrats, apparently bought by student loan forgiveness, “free” healthcare, and green fantasies. They are voting …
It's all about money. Allow private Banks to create and control the money supply and they have ultimate power. Power they are using to create a global Totalitarian state. You need to end private money creation, only sovereign debt-free currency.
Sure but would you really feel comfortable giving control of money fully over to .gov? I say we get back to the wildcat era!
We could base money creation on population growth, or a fixed percentage of supply, or any of a dozen hard-and-fast rules. (math!)
Basing it on the whims of politicians and bankers only leads to endless printing.
Very true. You could indeed have real smart math people write an algorithm that determines the EXACTLY optimal money supply and limit money creation to that. Beyond the entire quantity of money a very big factor in economic growth and prosperity is where new money is injected. If it is injected to improve wokeness in the military, that money goes down the sewer, creates demand without increasing productivity, in fact reduces productivity, which of course leads to more inflation. If that newly created money is injected into hard infrastructure and technical/business skills/education, that can reap big rewards in economic strength. Also into new technology. And expanding things like mineral production, steel making, electronics production. Also money created and injected into the poorer half of the population who will spend most of it on local goods and services rather than save it or invest it overseas.
I could imagine making a large A.I. that would figure out how to optimize that and manage all money creation. Far better than having corrupt banksters decide where new money should be injected. They really like inflating real estate prices more than anything. Or buying politicians.
