Charlie Kirk was on to something…

I guess there is not much doubt why he was assassinated.

 

The Biden Crime Family…

The main point of this article is at the very end…but you gotta read all of this article to understand that question…and to know why it’s so important.

I have held off writing this post for over a week…didn’t think I would write it at all. By the time is posts it will be more like 10 days. And I was sure I wouldn’t write it “in the open” vs a “Patriot” article…but last night (Friday – 5/1) changed my mind…$4.69 per gallon gas! And I am going to write it in the open that maybe some folks would read it that might not otherwise invest their time to do so.

Just a quick review…gas here locally hit $3.09 per gallon shortly after Trump became President…nice! It was about a 6% drop in price…SWEET! Then Trump decided to go on the war path…first bombing Iran, then overthrowing Valenzuela, then start the full-on war with Iran a couple of months ago. Now gas is $4.69 per gallon…over 50% increase in the price of gas!!!!

So what does that actually mean?

In 2024, under President “Sleepy Joe” Biden, the average US family of 4 used about 1,600 gallons of gas per year. Gas back then was about $3.29 per gallon. That meant that family of 4 spent about $5,200 for gas, about $430 per month. Hurts for sure…but it could be worse. In 2025 the price of gas went up and consequently the US consumption of gas went down.

Now, in 2026 under President Trump, the same US family of 4 is using about 110 gallons of gas per month…about 1,300 gallons annualized…a reduction of 300 gallons per year. And now gas is $4.69 per gallon…that means that family is now spending $6,100 per year for gas. That is an increase of over 17% out of their budget for gas. Oh, wait…due to the huge price increase in gas that same family is now using 18% less gas. So that family goes fewer places and pays way more. Ugly!

Think about it…if that family drove the same amount in 2026 (Trump) as 2024 (Biden)…$2,300 more per year for gas under Trump!!!

For what it’s worth…
Inflation rate in 2024 was 2.9%……Inflation rate in 2026 is 3.3%

What does that have to do with anything other than me whining and complaining? Yeah…hang on…

Does Gannon Ken Van Dyke ring a bell? Yeah, he bet more than $33,000 on the prediction/betting website Polymarket just days before President Donald Trump announced Maduro’s capture (President of Valenzuela). Van Dyke is also a Special Forces operator working for the US military. His series of bets, $33000, netted him more than $400,000. Van Dyke was recently arrested and the DOJ charged him with unlawful use of confidential information for personal gain, theft of nonpublic government information, commodities fraud, and wire fraud.

Did you catch “Polymarket”…the place where he placed his bets? A little info from my March 30th post:

Polymarket –

  • 2020 Polymarket began operations as a company…same year Trump announced his 2024 bid for President.
  • 2022 Polymarket was denied the ability to do business in the U.S. by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
  • Early August 2025 Trump family invested in Polymarket, estimates are an 8-figure amount ($10million+).
  • Later in August 2025 Donald Trump, Jr is given a seat on the board of Polymarket with undisclosed salary.
  • September 2025 Polymarket became authorized to relaunch business in the US…by the FTC via the Trump Administration (Donald Trump, Jr’s, father…President Trump).
  • While it isn’t publicly disclosed how much Trump, Jr. is additionally paid as an “advisor”, insider estimates run as high as a million dollars per year…in addition to the Trump ownership position.
  • Polymarket is a global cryptocurrency-based prediction/betting market, headquartered in Manhattan, New York City. It offers a platform where individuals can place bets on future outcomes, economic indicators, awards, political and legislative outcomes, and military conflicts. Participants can deposit cryptocurrency through the Polygon blockchain network and bet the likelihood of specific future outcomes…including betting on military strikes and ongoing wars.

Did you catch that yet? Trump family invests millions to become a partner in Polymarket, son of President Trump gets a seat on their board, and Polymarket gets approved to do business in the US. Then Trump family proceeds to makes millions off of Polymarket business. But, Van Dyke makes $400k and gets charged with…unlawful use of confidential information for personal gain, theft of nonpublic government information, commodities fraud, and wire fraud…all felonies. Huuummmm………ahhhhhhh…….

Oh, did you miss the “cryptocurrency” currency part of Polymarket’s business? World Liberty Financial (WLF) is part of the cryptocurrency world…and owned by the Trump family. Oh wait…billionaire Justin Sun, who invested in WLF, filed a lawsuit 3 weeks ago in a California federal court, alleging that his multi-million dollar investment was procured through fraud and the project is now “on the verge of collapse.” So the Trump family makes billions with WLF…investors lose millions….Van Dyke goes to prison.

But there is more…

Zach Witkoff is one of the main managers of WLF. Zach Witkoff is the son of Trump’s Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff.Yeah, Steve is the guy working closely with Saudi Arabia for additional business deals on behalf of the Trump family business. And guess what…Saudi Arabia and Iran are long-time rivals and often considered enemies. They compete for power and influence in the Middle East and support opposing sides in regional conflicts (like Yemen and Syria). They also represent different branches of Islam: Saudi Arabia is Sunni and Iran is Shia…a long-time, long-running religious feud…okay, most of the time it is violent differences.

Hang on…more…

Steve Witkoff is Jewish and aligns with Israel in all policy maters. And the Trump family business has business interests in Saudi Arabia and trying to establish large real-estate business deals in Israel. And Steve Witkoff has been involved with the Iran War even before it was the Iran War making unrealistic demands of Iran…and he was on the US negotiation team that was negotiating with Iran to end the war…which hasn’t ended.

Would you like to connect those dots? Yeah…pretty easy to do!

Here we go…a bit more for you…

Back in March I explained how the Trump Family business bought into two different drone companies in 2025…one of which is located in Israel. And I said then that they would get US government contracts. Yeah, last month Eric Trump, the public head of the Trump family business and President Trump’s son, announced that the Pentagon…wait for it…awarded the Trump family drone business a $24million contract…that’s just the start.

What did the price of gas have to do with the rest of the article? Same thing as Gannon Ken Van Dyke does.

See, while Donald Trump is President the Trump family makes 10’s of millions in one deal, then hundreds of millions in another, and then billions in yet another Trump family business deal…and what happens to the schmuck Van Dyke who made a couple hundred thousand through one of Trump’s businesses? He’s going to prison. And then there is that average American family who gets hit for thousands of dollars more per year for gas…while the Trump family makes BILLIONS of dollars.

How do the Trumps make it?

Ah, starting a war with Iran who just happens to be hated by both Israel and Saudi Arabia…and there just happens to be a quiet overlap of interests between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Despite some tensions, there are still areas of indirect alignment between the two…and guess who is in the middle of it? Steve Witkoff (Jewish and huge supporter of Israel) happens to be involved as Trump’s “envoy” with Iran. And then Polymarket (Trump family business) makes millions off of predictions regarding the war. And then Trump family drone business (part of which is in Israel) gets a Pentagon contract for ten’s of millions…replacing drones used by Israel and the US in a war that Trump started. And the Saudi’s are a huge investor in Trump’s cryptocurrency company (run by Steve Witkoff’s son) and a partner with Trump in real-estate deals in Saudi Arabia. Oh, let’s not forget…the on-going negotiations between the Trump family business and Israel for real-estate deals located in Israel…while the US, at Trump’s direction, bombs the shit out of Iran…Israel’s and Saudi Arabia’s mortal enemy.

Who says Trump is bought and paid for???? Let’s talk Miriam Adelson (born Miriam Farbstein, 1945)…she is a Jewish dual citizen Israeli-American physician, multi-multi-billionaire, and political donor. And she just happened to donate $130million to Trump’s 2024 Presidential campaign. Adelson makes frequent visits to the White House and Trump himself credited Adelson with helping shape U.S. decisions on Israel policy. Oh, FWIW…AIPAC spent another $150million during the 2024 campaign…gotta get ’em to send more $’s and bombs to Israel! Can’t let that genocide slow down…oh, no.

Hey, did you know…Miriam Adelson received the Presidential Medal of Freedom on November 16, 2018, from Donald Trump. She got it for  “especially meritorious contributions”, “serving U.S. national interests” and “world peace”. Imagine that. Did you also know that Adelson gave $25million in contributions to Trump’s first campaign…his single largest donor. Coincidence?

Okay…here’s the big question…the one I told you about at the beginning of this article…

Remember Conservatives and MAGA folks were screaming about the Biden Crime Family? You know…the Biden family benefiting 10’s of millions of dollars from Biden being Vice-President and then President. All the uproar how that they should be investigated and people should go to prison…specifically Hunter Biden, Joe’s son…remember all of that? I do…I wrote a lot about it…a crime family pure and simple.

Wait for it…

So what is the difference between the Biden Crime Family and the Trump Crime Family? Well, other than the Bidens only making 10’s of million and the Trumps making billions? Where is MAGA now? Why aren’t they screaming “criminals” now?

It’s all about a gap between what someone says and what they actually do. Hypocrisy is when someone says they believe in certain values or rules, but they behave in a different way when it goes against them.

Think what might happen if people would connect all the dots?I wonder if it would look something like this if they were realistically artistic…

Nah…couldn’t possibly be true…right?

Then again, some people will never allow their brain to connect these dots, nor will they see reality for what it really is.

Here is something for those who are interested…

A combination of cognitive biases and group dynamics is not a single diagnosis of a mental illness. People can genuinely believe something -even against strong evidence- because of how the human mind processes identity, loyalty, and information. This phenomena is stronger in politics because politics isn’t just about facts, it’s tied to identity, emotion, and social belonging in a way most everyday issues aren’t. Political issues are complicated because most people don’t have time to deeply research everything. So they rely on those they trust…leaders, media sources, and group consensus (group think).

That makes it easier for beliefs to stick…even if flawed or outright wrong…it’s called “confirmation bias”. Cognitive dissonance also comes into play…when people hold two conflicting beliefs (i.e. “this person is good” vs. “there’s evidence they did something wrong”). To reduce/avoid discomfort, they may reject the evidence, reinterpret facts to match their views, and/or double down on their beliefs.

Bottom line…in everyday situations, changing your mind takes minimal effort and costs little. But, with politics, changing your mind can feel like losing your identity, your group abandoning you, and losing the “fight”. So people often hold on tighter to their political beliefs, even when facts, statistics, and evidence show them they are wrong.

Sad, isn’t it…

There is one option that will work…

Always the right answer, always the right solution, always the right choice.

A lot of Christians have spoken…

Trump posts this image of him as Jesus Christ…

And a lot of Christians now see this…

and this…

 

 

 

 

I completely missed this !

I completely missed this subtle moment of truth and messaging…

This morning as I was going through my morning “wake up” process I saw Tucker Carlson’s video “Can You Still Support Trump?” Of course I had to watch it…I respect Tucker and his clear thinking and consistent principles and ethics. He is, in my opinion, level headed and insightful in all things politics.

At one point he mentioned something that I never realized, never thought about, never knew…and it was a profound point in history that now explains a lot…maybe everything that is happening right now in the US and in the world. Let me explain…

On January 20th, 2017 Donald J. Trump became the forty-fifth president of the United States. During his swearing in ceremony he took the oath of office. His wife Melania stood beside him and held a Bible on which Trump placed his left hand, raised his right hand to the square while reciting the oath of office.

Trump taking Oath of Office in 2017

On January 20th, 2025 Donald J. Trump became the forty-seventh president of the United States. During his swearing in ceremony he took the oath of office. His wife Melania holding two Bibles beside him: his family Bible (given to him by his mother) and the Lincoln Bible. Trump did NOT place his left hand on the Bible while he took the oath of office.

Trump taking oath of office in 2025.

That begs the question “Why didn’t he?” And that my friend is a very profound question…and the answer might explain the last 14 months in horrid clarity.

Clearly Trump was sending a message when he didn’t place his hand on the Bible during his oath of office. The reverse would be just as true…placing his hand on the Bible would send a message; 1) I am a Christian, 2) I believe in the Bible, 3) I acknowledge and accept its teachings, 4) I agree that there are higher laws, God’s laws, 5) I sustain America’s Oath of Office traditions and culture via its history. By NOT placing his hand on the Bible the opposite of that message would also then reasonably be true.

That sent chills down my spine…Trump was clearly and intentionally sending a message to not just US citizens but the entire world…especially to Christians.

There are a few specific events/actions that have taken place in the last 14 months that have most deeply concerned me about Trump:

  1. Publicly Trump was perfectly fine with ICE agents intentionally injuring and killing US citizens.
  2. Trump overthrew a sovereign nation, Venezuela. In Trump’s own words, he did it to take (i.e. steal) their oil and other natural resources.
  3. Trump started a war with Iran with no basis of imminent threat to the US and no nuclear weapons…while the US in direct negotiations with them (i.e. a Pearl Harbor event). He has recently stated that, in his own words, he could/would “take the oil” in Iran and that “to the victor belong the spoils.”
  4. Here is what really gets me…the US killed 160 young school girls in Iran. Trump has not even acknowledged it or expressed any kind of remorse regarding that incident.
  5. But here is what gets me the most…Trump’s Easter Sunday message. I won’t repeat that vile and demonic message here < you can read it by clicking this link >.

Trump lost my support a while back when his actions didn’t match his campaign promises…and he was acting in direct opposition to my understanding of God’s law. As a Christian I could not, and do not, in good faith support Trump in what he has done and is doing as President of the United States.

And by his not taking the oath of office with his hand on the Bible finally explains it all to me in 100% clarity. To answer Tucker’s question, “Can You Still Support Trump?” Absolutely not! No, I can’t support Trump as President based on my understanding and practice of Christianity, Christ’s own words, my understanding of the Bible and it precepts and principles…and my own conscious.

And yes, we can expect a President to have Christian morals and ethics that are good and righteous…and abide by them in carrying out the duties of President of the United States.


Note: Early this morning Trump has posted his willingness to destroy a whole civilization (referring to Iran / the Persian civilization). What rational, decent, respectable, sane person says stuff like that? What leader in his right mind, supposedly the leader of the free world, threatens to destroy a whole civilization…and then says God bless them? What are we dealing with here?

We simply can’t dismiss this kind of behavior and thinking any more saying this is just Trump…or he is just venting…or he just says stuff without a filter…or he is playing 3D chess. At some point this clearly shows his mental health or his true character. Think about what he is saying…he is threatening to exterminate a country’s entire population…an entire civilization!! That is holocaust level evil…times 15.5 ! !  This time it is Muslims vs Jews…imagine that.

I was really surprised…kinda…

Caution: Sarcasm Alert !  

I looked over our small emergency fund that is about 60% in stock based mutual funds. I wrote a little bit about it here < click here > By the time I was done looking over the results since the Donnie-Iran War I wasn’t thrilled. It lost a bunch of value since the war broke out. So I was thinking…if we lost value (i.e. value) what about all investors in general, how much value have they lost.

So I did my research and found out how much value each major stock exchange loses for each percentage drop in its index. I looked at the DOW, the S&P, and the Nasdaq. Investors have lost a combined total of slightly over $3,000,000,000,000. Yeah, that’s 3trillion dollar loss of value to investors due directly to the war. Nice, about $130billion loss per day on average.

Then I was thinking about Pentagon Pete (PP) asking mom and dad for a raise in his allowance for more killing and destroying. So PP asks for $200billion more dollars for bombs and bullets to destroy more stuff around the middle-east and kill more people in Iran…hopefully not more young school girls. I decided to run some of those numbers…

As of March 21st, the war has cost the US about $100billion dollars in the lead up to the war and an additional $20billion per week for three weeks of actual warfare. That comes to about $160billion dollars to date. $160billion that the US government didn’t have to spend…and was added to the national debt. Which debt generations of our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be paying interest on…about $8 – $9billion per year for 30 years…or longer. On Mach 19th Department of War Hegseth requested an additional $200billion in war funding. That too will be added to the national debt and create another $10billion per year in interest that our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be paying interest on for 30 years…or longer.

To date, the direct cost of the war is about $900billion in principle and interest over the next 30 years…nearly $3,000 per man, woman, child, and infant in the United States.

Let’s talk food…The price of fertilizer that farmers use to grow food to feed us is up 25% since the war was started. Fuel in our area is up 46%…you know, the stuff that tractors need to plant crops. But I’m sure those cost increases won’t show up in the grocery stores…nah.

FedEx and UPS have both announced increases in fuel surcharges since the war. But I’m sure that won’t drive the cost of everything up.

But flying will be much cheaper…right? Ah, no. Major airlines have all announced ticket price increases…anywhere from $50 – $300 per flight. But, don’t worry…in addition to ticket price increases some major airlines such as United are just canceling flights period…like 5% of all flights. May not sound like much but that means about 150 fewer flights a day just for United. What does this mean in real terms? For United alone…$11billion in added expense just for jet fuel this year.

In personal terms…last night a couple came over for dinner. She work about 1-hour away, 4 days a week. Calculating the miles to/from work, vehicle MPG, number of days worked per month, and 46% spike in fuel costs locally…yeah, it comes out to more than $100 per month for gas since the war started. Yeah…she is wondering why they voted America First.

So tell me again…How do all these horrific numbers economic numbers Make America Great Again…or put American First? The US economy takes a hit of trillions and trillions of dollars…yup…Make America Great Again!!

Oh, and these are just the numbers since the BiBi-Donnie War started. Since Jan 2025…yeah, all the economic numbers are worse…and getting worse.

But not to worry…this is just the first 14 months of this new MAGA / AF adventure…we still have 34 more months to go. Should be an interesting ride. Hope you are preparing for it.

Dang it…back in 2024 I started my own cryptocurrency company and my family made billions by now. And then last year and this year I had my golf club company go into the drone manufacturing business and about to sell 100’s of millions of  dollars worth of drones to the government. Oh wait…that wasn’t my family…some other family business beat me to it…

> > WARNING : Expanding War & False Flags & Worse

I started writing this articled last Wednesday, it was mostly done by Friday. But, events were changing rapidly and several pieces of the puzzle I couldn’t verify at the time. I decided to allow events to unfold over the weekend to allow more clarity and verification. I cannot stress enough the peril we face as a world due to this war. The escalation has been obvious and the desire to escalate even more is rampant. I would encourage you to keep aware of what is happening and the decisions being made…and why the decisions are being made. This war could take a huge turn for the worse over night…or quicker…and could send the world down a path that it could not recover from.


The Iranian War is expanding and worsening…that is an understatement. While the initial war was USA and Israeli forces bombing Iran, the conflict has now expanded to the entire middle-east region and beyond. Further, the expansion of that war and associated violence now threatens US soil in two ways. One of which we’ve already seen…domestic terror attacks on US soil by lone-wolves.

General Background –

The United States has interfered in Iranian domestic affairs for close to 100 years. Covert and direct military and intelligence service actions have included assassinations of Iran’s political, government, and religious leaders, inciting riots, bombings of military and civilian targets, and installation of pro-US leadership…and lately regime change. Israel has been even more active in these areas in conjunction with, and at times independent of, the US. As a result Iran considers the US an enemy and considers Israel a bitter enemy that should be eliminated.

In response to Iran’s attacks against its country and people by Israeli and US forces, Iran has conducted operations against facilities and forces from both countries. Iran has attacked Israel directly and through proxies causing considerable death and destruction in Israel. Iran, while not conducting operations against the US on US soil, has conducted military operations against the US, mostly via proxies, on US facilities and personnel located in middle-eastern countries. Iran’s current attacks, mostly missiles and drones, have become increasingly effective in defeating air-defenses and have inflicted significant destruction and causalities.

Current Situation –

A state of war exists between Iran, including proxies, and Israel and the USA. However, in an effort to influence a wider negative opinion of the war, Iran has struck other middle-east countries (14 countries +/-). Iran has been successful in widening the war and the US has been unsuccessful in stopping Iran from doing so. Further, Israel has also expanded the war to include attacking Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Tunisia, Yemen and now Qatar.

According to US officials, including Trump himself, the two objectives of initiating the war were; 1) regime change, 2) eliminate the ability of Iran to produce a nuclear weapon. As of March 13th, there has been a regime change, but worsening to a more hard-line anti-American/anti-Israeli leader. Also, there is no fact-based indication whatsoever that despite intensive bombing of Iran, no degradation of Iran’s nuclear weapon’s material or potential has occurred. Why do we know that? First, Trump claimed that last summer US and Israeli forces “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear stockpiles and nuclear weaponry capabilities. Second, there has been no verifiable and valid intelligence that any nuclear program facilities, weaponry, or equipment has been destroyed since the war started…or that it existed immediately prior to the US and Israel starting the war.

While the US has destroyed much of Iran’s military capability (i.e. navy and air-force), Iran is still waging a highly effective drone and military campaign against middle-eastern countries. The toll on Israel has been especially devastating in breadth and depth. Media reports of the attacks, air-defense defeats, infrastructure damage, and civilian/military causalities in Israel have been highly censored and limited by the Israeli government. Unofficial reports put casualties in the high hundreds to the low thousands; some reports are much higher.

Projections & Predictions –

To win this war Iran must simply survive with its regime (in general terms) intact. In other words, an anti-American/anti-Israel Iranian government in-place post-war. And so far it is succeeding in that goal. Further, based on the US stated goals, the US is not winning the war. Iran is still capable of, and continuing, to attack middle-eastern countries with drones and missiles destroying a wide range of targets.

Despite spending 10’s of billions of dollars in high-tech weaponry and 10’s of billions of dollars in additional direct and indirect military costs, the US has not achieved its goals. It may yet do so, but has not yet done so. Israel’s goals are not publicly stated but it is well-known that Israel would like to see the country of Iran eliminated or degraded to the point of Iran being a virtual non-entity in regional geopolitical terms.

In terms of raw devastation…Iran is clearly receiving the worst of destruction. Although, Iran is delivering billions of dollars of damage to regional infrastructure, primarily oil and gas related. However, Iran and its allies are “pounding” Israel with missiles and drone virtually 24/7 with devastating effect. With each passing day the ability of the US and Israel forces to intercept and destroy incoming drones and missiles is degrading. Further, the price of crude oil is up almost 50% resulting in trillions of dollars of damage to the global economy. Locally US gas prices are up nearly $1 per gallon resulting in 10’s of billions of dollars of damage to the US economy. In our area gas is up well over $1.00 per gallon.

When viewed in total context, based on self-identified goals, Iran is not losing the war and the US/Israel are not winning the war. Iran is being devastated via bombings from US/Israelis forces, but middle-eastern countries are receiving significant damage, especially Israel. However, Iran is inflicting far greater economic damage worldwide in economic terms. And therein lies the foundation of the greater threat.

There is a potential change that could occur. It appears that Trump has ordered the last piece of the puzzle for a ground invasion and occupation of Iran. Last week it was reported that additional Marine landing force was deployed to the region. It is not confirmed, but numerous reports indicate that Trump does intend to land US troops in Iran and occupy that country. If that is attempted it will become a huge and devastating defeat for the US. Two weeks ago Trump himself said he would not rule out US troops in Iran.

Greater Threat –

Israel will not tolerate losing the war with Iran. If Israel becomes too threatened with losing the war or excessive destruction its infrastructure, Israel will do whatever it has takes to prevent that. Iran will not voluntarily accept a surrender; it may be forced to but that may not be possible. The US will likely lose the war in “real terms” while maintaining a facade of victory. But an actual US victory is highly unlikely. Despite spending 10’s of trillions of dollars and incurring 10’s of thousands of causalities the US lost both the Iraq War and the Afghanistan War.

Based on the above, there are four truly grave threats facing the American people on US soil right now:

    1. Iran/Islam sympathizers committing lone-wolf attacks on US soil,
    2. Iran state-sponsored attack(s) on US soil,
    3. False flag attacks carried out by Israel’s Mossad or US’s CIA personnel or contractors,
    4. The use of nuclear weapons.

While a case could be made that there have already been multiple attacks on US soil by Iranian and/or Islamic sympathizers, it’s not on the scale I am referring to. I am thinking more along the lines of a 9/11 or potentially somewhat smaller by state-sponsored cells. The intention of such an attack would be two-fold; 1) hurt Americans to show Iranian reach, 2) influence American citizenry opinion to stop the war. Both goals would probably be achieved with such an incident.

Both Mossad and the CIA have a long history of carrying out horrific acts of violence against civilian targets, including false flag events. The objective of a false flag would have two entirely different objectives depending on who carried out the incident. Israel’s goal, if the false flag attack occurred on US soil, would be to drag America further into the war and deepen US commitment of resources and desire to destroy Iran, thus allowing Israel to further its objectives in Lebanon, Gaza, and the wider middle-east region. However, Israel may also wish to expand the war exponentially. To do so all it would have to do is destroy, or severely damage, the Al-Aqsa mosque (Dome of the Rock) in Jerusalem. That event would rally virtually all of Islam against Israel and create a world war almost overnight.

It is not out of the realm of possibility that Iran itself would attack the Al-Aqsa mosque (trying to blame Israel) to rally Islamic countries to fight against Israel. However, it would be highly risky for Iran to do so and is highly improbable that they would take that chance.

Israel has nuclear weapons. Israel will not allow a military defeat at the hands of Iran. Israel would use nuclear weapons to prevent such a defeat. The US has one of the largest stockpiles of nuclear weapons in the world. The US has used nuclear weapons before in war. Last Wednesday Trump himself indirectly, but clearly indicated, that a nuclear option was on the table “They literally would never be able to build that country back.” And Trump said he could do so “within an hour”.

Warning –

This warning has three parts:

      1. Avoid potential physical harm to yourself and your family,
      2. Do not be deceived,
      3. Prepare for the worst possible scenario.

At this point I am advising everyone to stay away from any large gathering, especially rallies or political events. The larger the city the more likely the city, or an event in it, would be a target. The threat could be anything from a bombing to a lone individual with a knife. City subways would probably be the most likely physical location for an individual to strike due to the concentration of people and inability to quickly flee.

As of today there have only been lone-wolf attacks by Iranian and Islamic sympathizers on US soil. We could shortly see attacks by Iranian state-sponsored forces that are already in the country. Such incidents could be major in causing significant damage and casualties.

The purpose of a false flag event is to motivate an emotion based reaction. Such a reaction would be mostly void of logic or clear thinking of what actually happened, why it happened, and who was behind it. False flag events are highly effective tools of government, including the US government. Be wary of reacting too quickly regarding any incident. Use critical thinking, avoid an emotional response, and do not respond without taking the time to think through what happened. To better understand any incident an excellent question to ask, “Who actually benefits the most from the reaction to the incident?”

The only thing worse than a potential false flag at the hands of the CIA or Massad is the constant stream of propaganda coming out of Washington. It is almost inconceivable that the White House actually thinks US citizens believes the propaganda in terms of the war and the economy. There will a core group of individuals that will believe all of it…and then there will be the majority that know better. As of today, by a wide margin, US citizens disapprove of the war with Iran…and a sizable majority of US citizens disapprove of the Trump’s performance as President. So even the White House propaganda is not working as well as they had hoped.

There is an intangible concern as well…Trump.

    • Last week when asked when the US would know they won the war. Trump’s response “When I feel it my bones.” Any military person, first responder, etc. knows that is indicative of a very dangerous and ineffective leader. An effective and competent leader clearly identifies “Leader’s Intent” and “What success looks like.”
    • Trump has made a threat to use nuclear weapons against Iran.
    • There are a few more but I have deleted them to avoid distractions.
Outlier –
    1. During Trump’s first term he called cryptocurrency a fraud and nothing but thin air. In 2024 the Trump family started a cryptocurrency company. Since then the Trump family has made a billion dollars off of their cryptocurrency company and grown their net worth by several more billion dollars from their cryptocurrency company. And after Trump’s election for his second term he announced that the US government would start a reserve fund…buying cryptocurrency.
    2. The Trump family has deep business interest in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Total actual dollar value is unknown but estimated to be in the billions. In 2024 alone the Trump family business made $50million in profit from just Saudi Arabia. The value of, and profit from, Trump family business in the United Arab Emirates has been tightly held secret. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are sworn enemies of Iran.
    3. The Trump family business has been in negotiations to begin real estate business ventures in Israel…since 2024.
    4. Early last month, prior to the war in Iran, a Trump family business (JFB Construction) partnered with an Israeli drone manufacturer (XTEND).
    5. Last week a Trump family business (Aureus Greenway) merged with a drone company (Powerus). Prior to the merger with Powerus, Aureus Greenway was a golf club maker company. Along with the merger, a government contract with the Pentagon to supply drones will be sought.

What does this tell you? Think about it…what do you see here? What does your gut tell you?

Summary –

The Iran War is the single greatest threat to the world in the last 80 years, and I include the Cuban Missile Crisis in that statement. You have two radical, deeply committed, countries directly at war with each other, they are bitter enemies and have been so for thousands of years…Iran and Israel. You have the US backing Israel because it has no choice, Israel started the war and dragged the US into it. Granted, Trump was looking for another bite at the apple. The greatest threat is two countries have nuclear weapons, the third might have.

While the US would likely not use a nuclear weapon against Iran, it is not out of the question, especially considering Trump’s recent threat. Remember, the US is the only country who has actually used nuclear weapons in war. It would be far more likely that Israel or Iran would use a nuclear weapon.

Israel would go nuclear if it felt it would lose the war and be regionally dominated by Iran. Or, if Israel began receiving intolerable destruction within its borders. Israel has a radical government in control and is unpredictable to what extent they might go to militarily. Iran has a radical Islamic government in control. There are indications that they would unleash nuclear weapons against Israel simply to eliminate Israel from a religious perspective (if they have nuclear weapons). Iran has a core group of religious leaders that feel an apocalypse would usher in a TEOTWAWKI religious event that they actually look forward to.

There is no end in sight for this war from the perspective of Iran or Israel…it has been going on for a very long time and shows no sign of ending any time soon. I simply can’t imagine Israel surrendering to the Iran…nor Iran surrendering to Israel.

The US could tire of the war, or rather Americans would tire of the war; already more than half of Americans object to the war. So the US could discontinue its part in the war by simply saying “we won” and withdrawing. However, this is unlikely due to Trump’s vision of himself and his view of the US in global terms. If the Republicans lose both houses of Congress in the mid-term elections, which appears highly likely, Trump could be forced to stop the war. But at this point…the war is devastating the middle-east, virtually destroying Iran, severely damaging parts of Israel. Globally, the financial impact is bad and getting worse by the day. This larger impact could jeopardize the entire world economy…and that is a possible event…meaning collapse.

There is also the “China Unknown”. No one knows what China might do as the war drags on. If China sees an opportunity and becomes aggressive to regain Taiwan the world will change beyond measure.

Be warned…become prepared.

If you are already prepared…become better prepared.

Just a thought for you today…

“We are a warlike people, easily distracted from our assignment of preparing for the coming of the Lord. When enemies rise up, we commit vast resources to the fabrication of gods of stone and steel—ships, planes, missiles, fortifications—and depend on them for protection and deliverance. When threatened, we become antienemy instead of pro-kingdom of God; we train a man in the art of war and call him a patriot, thus, in the manner of Satan’s counterfeit of true patriotism, perverting the Savior’s teaching:

“Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

“That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven.” (Matt. 5:44–45.)”

President Spencer W. Kimball, June 1976

Beck, Carlson, Kelly, Levin, Fuentes, Hannity, Bannon, Shapiro…

There has been a huge dust-up as of late between right-wing media personalities…and it is exposing yet another serious problem…the further fracturing of America.

Well, technically Tucker Carlson is not right-wing media…he is squarely an “independent” and/or “libertarian” from everything I see. So let’s get him out of the mix right now…and not surprisingly he has become a main target of those on the far right…especially the radical pro-war right. I guess that is what happens when you ask too many serious questions that challenge power. You know, the whole “truth to power” thing.

My point…all of the above media personalities used to be pretty much on the same page in many respects…some differences but no real vitriolic “combat” over the airwaves. But those days are gone; not surprising in this day and age.

Here is my opinion if you are interested…

  • The USA-Iran War has divided these folks into two distinct groups…pro-war & anti-war.
  • There were some rumblings before, but it has also split the group into those who are radically pro-Trump and those who question some of his decisions.
  • And clearly there are now two groups with those who are radically pro-Israel and those who question Israel’s significant, maybe wholly inappropriate, influence both in Congress and the White House.

How do you know who to believe in the media?

Look to God and His son Jesus Christ. What do they advocate? What principles do they outline for guides to live by?

Look to our Founders and their beliefs and the founding principles of the United States. You either abide by and believe in them or not.

Look to commonsense…who is providing commonsense information and asking commonsense questions?

Look at who are advocating, and in some cases, rejoicing in war, death, and destruction. Look who uses positive terms, and in some cases rejoicing in bombs & missiles raining down on countries, even civilians.

Look at who are justifying war, regime change, and worst of all…justifying the deaths of American military personnel in foreign wars.

Some of the folks who I mentioned earlier have become Trump boot-lickers and war mongers advocates. Ironically, the one who has changed the most to a war/death/destruction advocate and worshiping Trump used to be a decent, thoughtful Christian advocating what America should be. Kinda like a former Norman Rockwell media personality…now little more than a softer version of Joseph Goebbels. (I probably have to repent of that one.)

Think to yourself…who is supporting and/or advocating for the USA-Iran War. Then ask yourself this…Has Iran ever attacked USA’s shores? If I remember correctly, the only time Iran has struck against the USA in any significant way is overseas; as in a US presence overseas such as US military bases and US forces waging war overseas. Think about that for a minute. Then ask yourself this…if the Founding Fathers didn’t want us fighting other country’s wars, didn’t want us in entangling alliances, and if the USA was minding its own business here at home…would Iran ever had harmed a single hair on a US citizen’s head in the last 40 years?

I am not a fan of Iran. Nor am I an anti-Semite. And I am clearly not anti-America or a US apologist. But I feel I can see the blatant difference between truth and lies. And I for sure can spot propaganda pretty easily…especially when it is promoting war. I guess for me it boils down to this:

  • Would God and Jesus Christ be an advocate for bombing, destroying, and killing…especially young school girls? They are not unfortunate collateral damage…they are dead children.
  • Would our Founding Fathers support the same when the country we are destroying and whose citizens we are killing is no true threat to our own country?
  • Would our Founders want us fighting an offensive war on behalf of another country?

Then I guess that begs the question…Should I listen to the people and believe the words from them who do support and advocate those things?

This is a major shift in the political climate of the United States…a further fracturing of our citizenry. Further alienating otherwise decent folks from each other…with words now, possibly soon to be actual violence. And have no doubt…this is ensuring a sweeping Republican Party defeat in November. Shame.

Realize that the vast majority of, 30% more, Americans object to the war. It’s mostly just the hardcore right-wing, with a few RINOs, who are supporting the war, the bombing, the destruction, the killing, including the death of children in some 16 middle-east countries. Odd, isn’t the right-wing supposed to be the party of moral people, Christians, those who believe in and advocate for God?

What would Jesus have us do? Who would Jesus have us listen to?

Some might even call this a separating the wheat from the chaff. Not me. I think it is more likely a confusion of principles vs propaganda. Whatever it is…the damage is being done; probably irreversible damage. The damage being done in the same area where the world’s three major religions originated. Ironic.


Mathew 5: 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Peace President !

After my post on Saturday, “Is it just me???” Texas Dan brought something to my attention…and I just had to do some follow-up on it.

So last year on multiple occasions President Trump claimed the title “Peace President” for himself. And last year he appealed directly to Norway’s leaders to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. And when he didn’t receive the Nobel Peace Prize he complained bitterly to Norway, and publicly complained about not winning.

Item #1 – Data from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) indicates US forces, under orders from Trump, have executed or partnered in 622 air and drone strikes across seven countries in 2025 alone.

Item #2 – On orders from Trump…in just 2026 US forces bombed at least 7 different countries; Iran, Venezuela, Iraq, Nigeria, Somalia, Yemen, and Syria.

Item #3 – Venezuela and Iran represent two sovereign nations that the US military, under orders from Trump, have either kidnapped or killed their leaders; and have, or currently are, committing regime change.

Item #4 – The US, under Trump’s leadership, is still supporting the Ukraine in its war with Russia. Hundreds of thousands of casualties from both sides, military and civilians in the last year.

Item #5 – The US, under Trump’s leadership, still supports Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza. And in 2025 the estimates are 10’s of thousands of casualties, more than 2,000 death…mostly civilians…at the hands of US backed and US funded Israel.

Item #6 – Trump claims he ended 6 wars in his second term. Problem is…there is no independent verifiable list of him ending any war or conflict. Even the peace agreement between Israel and Gaza hasn’t held…1200 Palestinian casualties, including at least 300 deaths since the so-called “peace agreement”; 11 killed just last week.

Item #7 –15 Months Ago, Donald Trump Promised “I’m Not Going to Start Wars, I’m Going to Stop Wars”. During his 2024 campaign for President Trump pledged, “no new wars”. Let me think about that one for a minute…

Summary –

So maybe Trump shouldn’t be so surprised he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize. And, just a thought, maybe he should stop whining about it. “Peace President”…doesn’t seem like it to me…how about you?

Q & A : Inflation & National Debt

Look, I’m not professional economist, numbers brainiac, wealth manager, or banker…but, I think I have a pretty good grasp on what is happening economically. But then again…what the heck does a senior citizen (i.e. old) retired firefighter wannabe glamsteader know? Let me take a stab at answering a couple of questions that came to me.


  • What is “inflation”?

Well, that answer depends on who is answering it, there are generally two answers…both of which are correct…but, the first is caused by the latter.

First answer: the general increase in the price of goods and services.

Second answer: the decrease in the purchasing power of money caused by the increase in money supply.

There is a third answer but it is the weakest and least reliable: supply and demand. This is generally referred to as “too much money chasing too few goods.” But, the “too much money” part of it is caused by the money supply being increased. There is a semi-accurate, although seldom, aspect of “supply and demand”.

To get this out of the way first off…I will give you a “supply and demand” example but it is seldom actually seen in real life. Let’s say there is a state, call it Ohio. For this example say there are 100’s of farmers raising cattle, thousands and thousands of them. Now Ohio hits a dry year and 2million of the 12million residents also leave due to immigrants being deported and companies closing. So we see lot’s of people leaving (demand lowering) and farmers selling off cattle due to the cost of hay & feed skyrocketing (supply increasing). At the livestock sale barns the price of cattle goes down due to way more cattle being taken to market and far fewer people buying hamburger. But, these types of “supply and demand” issues are usually short lived and not indicative of the economy in general.

Now on to real life…

We all can see inflation easily when we go to the store and see an item that was $2.99 two years ago now priced at $3.99. Even worse when viewed over a 10 or 50 year time span. An obvious example would be home prices. In 1965 the average house price was less than $22,000. In 2025 the average house price was $360,000. That’s an increase of 1536% in 60 years. Few reasonable people could question that is a huge increase in price.

So you go back a bunch of years and “inflation” meant one thing…an increase in the money supply. When you think about it, when you just use the term inflate, what comes to mind? Yup, to make something bigger, like a balloon or football.

When you talk about the price of goods and services going up what comes to mind is a price “increase” not price “inflation”. So the term “inflation” when applied to economics has become seriously transformed/corrupted over the years.

So, when you see prices go up it becomes necessary to compare it to the money supply. Let’s start by looking at US inflation, the best way to do that is to look at $1,000 in 1900 by 1965 you would need $4,000 to have the same “buying power” as the original $1,000 in 1900. That means the original $1,000 (money) lost ¼ of its buying power over 65 years. Now, look at the next 60 years…1965 – 2025. In 2025 you would need $38,000 to match the same “buying power” of the $4,000 in 1965. That is a HUGE loss of buying power. It takes nearly 10 times more dollars (money) to equal the same buying power.

What? Yup, when you look at it that way…the dollar lost most of its value from 1965 – 2025. The reality comes into focus when you see the average price of a home go from $22,000 to $360,000 during that same times period. Simply put…the dollar lost a huge amount of value…most of its value actually.

When you look at the inflation chart for that $1,000 in 1900 you see it is pretty stable for the most part until about the mid-1970’s. What happened then to make a huge spike begin? The United States went off the gold standard and became a fiat currency.

In 1900 the average price of a home in the US was about $2000 and could be bought with 95 ounces of gold. In late Sept 2025 the average price of a home in the US was about $360,000 and could be bought for about 95 ounces of gold. Do you see a relationship there?

The price of gold and the price of a home each went up 180 times; meaning that it took $180 in 2025 to equal $1 from 1900. That equates to the dollar lost most of its value in 125 years!

      • Why compare the dollar to gold? Because gold has a pretty static intrinsic value.
      • What was the 1900 price of gold in the comparison? $21 per ounce.
      • What was the Sept 2025 price of gold in the comparison? $3760 per ounce (right before it made the huge spike in price.)

So why does the price of gold fluctuate in comparison to the dollar? It doesn’t. The value of the dollar fluctuates in comparison to the value of the gold. That is the whole point. In Sept 2025 it took $3760 to buy an ounce of gold. In 1900 it only took $21 to buy an ounce of gold. The dollar in 1900 was super strong…in Sep 2025 the dollar was super weak.

Now gold is about $5,200 per ounce. That means the value of the dollar went down just about 38% in five months (Sept 2025 – Feb 2026).

I will give ground on one thing…in the last 25 years gold has taken on an element of speculation. Meaning, people are “betting” the dollar goes up or down based on what the future US and world economies look like, along with the global geopolitical outlook as well. So the price gold became a “bet” or “gamble” to some degree. But it is still tied to the value of the dollar…the “bet” that the dollar will go up or down in price. And people were buying gold to hedge that bet. Meaning that gold would hold its value and offset the loss of value in the dollar. Why do people “bet” on the value of the dollar? Because the dollar has no intrinsic value…it has no value in and of itself…it is a speculation or guess of what it can buy at some future point in time.

Bottom line…when you see the price of gold go up, the value of the dollar is going down. When gold goes down, the value of the dollar goes up. Gold is not changing value, the dollar is changing price.

That same principle applies to most prices of everything…when money supply goes up…prices go up because the value of the dollar is going down. That is called inflation in true terms.

  • I heard that the US government can “inflate” its way out of debt?

Theoretically, yes. What the principle is that…the value of the dollar in 10, 20, or 30 years from now is much lower than the value of the dollar in today’s terms. As the money supply increases the value of dollar goes down. So, the Fed increases the money supply to stratospheric heights driving the “value” of the dollar down. Thus, a dollar used to pay the debt in 30 years is worth only a fraction of what it is now. And remember, it is the Federal Reserve (private bankers) that control the money supply, the national debt, and the interest rate paid on that debt.

In theory that means that the Fed could simply digitally create $39trillion dollars right now and pay off all the US national debt tomorrow. Done! Over! No more US debt. Nice! Sweet! Clean slate!

But here’s the catch…the current US money supply is about $22trillion. And the Fed now creates $39trillion to pay off the debt. What happens to the value of the dollar?

Think of it this way…Today there is money supply of $22trillion, tomorrow there is money supply of 61trillion US dollars ($39trillion addition to pay off the national debt). The very best case scenario…the value of the dollar is cut by about 60%. Yup, that means for every dollar you had in the bank it is now only worth 40cents in terms of buying power.

That is how the US government (via the Federal Reserve) could inflate its way out of debt…destroying the value of the dollar. Think of it this way…milk is about $3.50 per gallon today…tomorrow it would be right at $9.00 per gallon. That is called inflation…and inflating our way out of national debt.

Ask yourself this…if the Fed along with the US gov’t decided to inflate its way out of debt today…would your salary go up 2.6 times to match the inflation rate? The 2025 average salary in the US was about $66,000. That means overnight that salary would have to go to $172,000 just to maintain the same buying power.

That is called hyper-inflation.

You see, it is not about national debt, inflation rate, price of gold, or the value of the dollar…none of that! It is about “buying power” of a dollar. And folks…we are losing that fight BIG TIME!!! Yup, the buying power of the dollar keeps tanking year after year after year.

Question to ask yourself…Why is that happening? What is the purpose behind it?

Consider this…the 3-fold mission of the Federal Reserve is to conduct the nation’s monetary policy to promote:

      • maximum employment,
      • stable prices,
      • moderate long-term interest rates.

In 1913 the US federal government turned over that authority to a group of private bankers to control those 3 things. Have you ever wondered “why?”

And actually, ask yourself this…What gives the US federal government the “authority” to control those things, let alone turn that authority over to a group of private banks?

But maybe about now you are starting to see why the economy is a complete wreck, for over 50 years the middle-class has been disappearing, we have no hope of ever paying off the national debt in a responsible way, and the dollar is virtually worthless compared to 112 years ago when the Fed took over controlling the country’s economy.

Wait, here’s my bottom line…

What are you doing to prepare for these continued economic problems and the coming crash?

It continues to tank…

Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) said…”OOOpppppsssss!” On Friday they announced that their 2025 job creation numbers were off by 900,000. Yeah, BLS…the Federal Government…overestimated the number of jobs created in 2025 by nearly a million. Son of a gun…just a minor mistake…no big deal.

Knowing the government’s track record do you think it might have even been worse?

Oh, but wait…BLS announced DOUBLE the number of jobs created in January 2026 vs expert projections…DOUBLE!!!! Yeah, happy times are here again!!!!

Oh, wait…BLS reported that January estimate on the “birth-death model”…which is notoriously unreliable. And that model is well known to be inaccurate and to significantly overestimate actual jobs created. Of course that is only based on the model’s historic performance numbers…you know, facts. So what’s the big deal…right?

To reinforce the fact that the economy is headed downward 10year Treasury yields jumped from 4.15% to 4.2%…a notable move indicating an increase in concern about the economy. As a secondary effect is it makes it more expensive for the federal government to borrow money…which it is doing at an alarming and near historic rate.

And last Tuesday it was released that in 2026 Trump’s tariffs will cost each US household over $100 per month. If you look at it in “tax” terms, it is the largest tax increase in almost 40 years. That equates to about an additional 2% loss of disposable income for middle-income households.

Try this one on…in January 2026 there were over 40,000 home foreclosure filings. But that is a fluke…an anomaly…right? Well, not exactly…it is the 11th straight month of increase in home foreclosures. Oh, and increase of 32% over a year ago.

Don’t forget that last month I reported Macy’s, Kroger, Walgreens, Wendy’s, JCPenny, Saks Off 5th, Yankee Candle, Orvis, REI, Foot Locker, GameStop, and Carters have all announced huge numbers of store closings. Also, Big Lots filed for bankruptcy in early January. Now add Eddie Bauer, Saks Global, Fat Brands, Francesca, and Sailormen to that list of bankruptcies. The Economic Times reported on February 12th, at least 18 companies with $50 million or more in liabilities have gone under in the last three weeks alone.

As further indication of a problem in the economy…Bitcoin is down 34% since Trump was elected. And Bitcoin is down 45% from its high 6 months ago. You know Bitcoin…the cryptocurrency that has ZERO tangible value to it. You know what I mean…Bitcoin has no intrinsic value whatsoever…”thin air” to quote our President (during his first term).

But speaking of cryptocurrency…There is one HUGE winner in the cryptocurrency part of the economy…the Trump Family. The cryptocurrency World Liberty Financial (WLFI) is making HUGE profits…for the Trump family. Latest reports show the Trump family has made over a BILLION dollars in pure profit from WLFI since they founded it in 2024…you know…right before Trump was elected President. Problem…ah, WLFI is down 68% since its start. To recoup that loss WLFI would have to go up 300%…yeah, just to break even. Trump family owns 60% of WFLI.

Just a thought on Trump and cryptocurrency…during his first term Trump declared Bitcoin “not money” and criticized it as “highly volatile and based on thin air.” He cautioned that “crypto assets helped facilitate illegal underground markets.” Yeah but…in the summer of 2024 the crypto industry poured $26,000,000 into Trump campaign for President. Oh yeah…that was right before WFLI was founded by the Trump family. Oh, and one last thing…I already mentioned that the Trump family has already made a BILLION dollars ($1,000,000,000) in profit…but the Trump family holdings of WFLI has made the Trump family an additional 5 BILLION dollars net worth richer on top of the BILLION $’s of pure profit. So not all parts of the economy are doing poorly.

  • Let me see, did I get this right:
    • During his first term as President he clearly says cryptocurrency is worthless as thin air.
    • Runs for second term and loses that bid.
    • 4 years later runs for President again.
    • Gets $26,000,000 in campaign donations from cryptocurrency industry.
    • His family starts a cryptocurrency.
    • He’s elected President.
    • Cryptocurrency begins a crash of about 20% after his election.
    • Within 6 weeks of his inauguration as President, Donald Trump, via an Executive Order, names five cryptocurrencies to be part of a new US strategic reserve – in other words, crypto holdings owned by the U.S. government.
    • Cryptocurrency begins a rocket gain of 55%.
    • And 2025 turns into one of the worst years economically for the middle-class, especially the job market.
    • His family becomes $6,000,000,000 richer from their cryptocurrency company.
    • But his family’s crypto drops 68% in value for those who bought the crypto tokens during that same time.

While the Trump family is adding $6 BILLION to their net worth the economy is tanking, bankruptcies are soaring, home foreclosures are out of control, inflation is eating low & middle-class Americans alive, the federal budget deficit grows, the national debt grows, consumer debt grows…and on and on and on. Hummm…Am I just being paranoid, not seeing the bigger picture, suffering from TDS, or is there actually something odd about all of that?

Oh well, moving on…

Personal bankruptcies hit over 500,000 in 2025…the highest since the Great Recession in 2009. For 2026 personal bankruptcies are running more than 11% above that rate. Corporate bankruptcies are running 76% over last year.

Okay, I’m not going to keep going on…you get the point…could 2026 be a “crash” year?

Maybe, I don’t know. For us mere common folk…get ready…get prepared…this may need your attention.

You decide…I have.
