“Always keeping one foot in comfort and one foot in chaos”. The US dollar is our sharpest tool and we dull it with wasteful spending.

All of the world’s problems are tied to the devaluing of the US Dollar, all of them.

Not cool, not cool at all. This isn’t what people voted for. What happened to America first @POTUS ??
Trump just said he’s willing to do a mass amnesty deal for millions of illegal immigrants…
People voted for no more wars and mass deportations. Trump gave them a war in Iran and amnesty. Complete and total betrayal.

I heard this the other day,
“There is no such thing as the PERFECT partner, spouse, parent, or friend. There is only a PRESENT partner, spouse, parent or friend.”
In all you do, aim for being PRESENT not PERFECT.

Yep. Each parties policies devalue the US dollar and it won’t stop. This is why problems get worse. This is the tide that affects all boats.
Prediction :
There will be no Universal Healthcare
There will be no National Wealth Tax
Housing cost will keep going up
Education cost will keep going up
Healthcare cost will keep going up
Politicians will keep grifting
There will be no Data Center or AI moratorium
There will be more wars
The war on Drugs will continue
The National Debt will continue to go up
No matter which party is in charge.

A good example of how the private market and capitalism works to lower prices is orthodontic work.
It is the same price or cheaper than 20 or 30 years ago. Considering inflation, it’s cheaper.

Damn GREAT article @DylanRatigan . This new majority has to prove they are serious people, which they aren’t. In the end the policies they were elected on won’t make things more affordable it will make them less affordable by devaluing the US Dollar even more. When will people realize this is the root of all our problems.
Repudiation
The American people repudiated Donald Trump’s presidency yesterday.
They rejected his policies, his strategy and the culture of corruption he made the symbol of his government. They rejected a president who attacked America’s closest allies, imposed enormous costs on people at home and around the world, and used public office to enrich himself and his allies. The result was unmistakable: Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress, flipping seats in states and districts Trump carried in 2024.
This was a historic rebuke. Trump repeatedly urged voters to treat him as if he were on the ballot. They did. Voters turned his own demand into a verdict on his leadership.
It is a relief to see the country reject this kind of politics. It is also a mistake to confuse repudiation with renewal.
For nearly two decades, American elections have followed the same pattern. Barack Obama’s 2008 victory repudiated George W. Bush’s presidency and the Iraq War. Obama entered office with extraordinary goodwill. His administration left the country with private health insurers still at the center of health care, a banking system whose largest institutions remained too big to fail, and an expanded presidency with enormous power over war and surveillance.
Trump’s first victory repudiated Hillary Clinton and the Obama-era promise that the system was working. Biden’s victory repudiated Trump. Trump’s return repudiated Biden. Yesterday, voters repudiated Trump again.
Each election ends one political moment. None has repaired the machinery that keeps producing the next one.
Repudiation destroys the authority of a leader. It does not build a government people trust. It does not change the incentives that reward corruption, make political money powerful or let elected officials shape rules that protect themselves. The names change. The machinery remains.
The Democratic Party now controls Congress. Its victory is not proof that Americans trust the party or its leaders to reform government. A new majority can block an agenda, investigate abuses and reject nominees. That is power. It is not structural reform.
The danger is that the winners treat this result as permission to celebrate, reward their allies and take their turn operating the same system. The country has watched that performance before. Replacing one party with the other does not end the two-party cycle.
The public is already moving beyond party loyalty. Gallup found that 45 percent of Americans identified as political independents in 2025, compared with 27 percent identifying as Democrats and 27 percent as Republicans. The independent bloc is larger than either party’s base. Millions of people do not see either party as their political home.
The winners must answer the demand beneath this election: reform the system of government. That means comprehensive campaign-finance reform, independent redistricting to end gerrymandering, radical transparency and term limits. These are the foundations of a government that answers to the public instead of protecting the people who hold power.
Yesterday’s vote was a clear rejection of Trump. It was also a warning to the Democrats who replace him in Congress. Americans are finished granting political parties trust simply because the other party has lost it.
Repudiation is a necessary act. It removes permission to continue. It does not create a future.
The test begins now: whether the winners change the rules that enabled this crisis, or use their victory to inherit them.

The election results changes NOTHING. Both sides devalue the US Dollar, which is the cause of all our problems. People don’t realize it’s the tide that affects all boats.

People can’t seem to understand this. It’s very important, especially during elections that you identify who values the chart below. If they talk about making everyday items “more affordable” and they make NO mention of the dollar being devalued then they aren’t a serious person, that goes for candidates of both parties. We have been bathing in this idea of inflation as a good thing, that we can just run deficits, and print money for too long. It is not working out, our problems are getting worse. Maybe we try preserving the value of our money.

Don’t be fooled everyone, this is not pain nor a buying opportunity. The VIX is now under 17. Just like @BoBbyPleWniaK there is no FOMO here. I am sitting and waiting, patiently.

Your eyes aren’t deceiving you, it’s the system that is doing that.
This is why critical thinking, deductive reasoning, and ethics are no longer part of the curriculum.

I’ve been so lucky to see these guys many times. This is why I LOVE @Metallica. They are still ferocious and grateful for fans. True artists!
This is sad and destructive. The average household income is $87,460 right now. This is what endless printing does to your purchasing power, it cuts it in more than half. No wonder Americans can’t get ahead. This is the most pressing problem in America. We need to stop destroying the dollar. Any other issue is secondary and a distraction.

The next time someone tells you the earth can’t handle more humans or climate change is a reason we should have less kids. These people are THE OLIGARCHY. Population growth correlates to wealth. These are also the same people that fly private and have beach front homes.
People need to have more babies, a lot more. Children are our future.

I heard that 75% of Americans are skeptical of data centers. Yet 85% of people in China are favorable to data centers. Hmmmm…. I wonder why?
I also wonder how much money China has used to sway Americans so they can win the AI race?
