That's not to say at all that we don't need to continue to fight against the radical left that seems determined to destroy what's left of this country.

There's a lot of Weimar bullshit.
Here's a few:
1. The Inflation of the Money Supply was the result of the French Occupation of the Ruhr and Reparations, it was in 1923 years before the Depression and a decade before Hitler.
1a. It was engingeered by Rudolf Havenstock, a Prussian from a family with a long history of Government Bureaucrat and Military Service, who was buying foreign currencies with Reichmarks and then paying the French with those. It was giving Germany a small advantage in arbitrage and helping discount the reparations. The French put a stop to it overnight, demanded only Francs or Gold, which caught the Reichsbank in a major mid-arbitrage with it's pants down.
1b. After the Rentsmark was introduced, inflation rapidly stopped in the mid 20s, it was stopped when the NSDAP/Hitler were nobodies.
2. The Great Depression in Germany was far less bad than the USA by at least a quarter to a third (Unemployment, Industrial Production, GDP).
3. Homosexuality was criminalized and open gays went to prison regularly for pandering and sodomy and prostitution all the time
3b. Unlike Revisionist propaganda which has Gays and Trannies all over the place. I guarantee you two guys making out in public in Dusseldorf would have been arrested. In a Berlin nightclub at 1AM, maybe not. But anywhere else, yes.
3c. The FRG continued to punish homosexuals until the 1970s.
4. The Weimar Government wasn't Socialist; in fact it had a Center Right coalition government most of the time, a divided Parliament the rest of it, and indeed the last Government of Germany before Hitler and the NSDAP was Firmly Right under von Pappen and von Hindenburg.
5. The top book burned under NSDAP rule was "All Quiet on the Western Front", not obscure medical journals about trannies nobody read and few copies existed. Most of the top books burned were WW1 Veteran accounts of chem warfare and other terrors of war. Accounts of fellow soldiers blowing their brains out after getting "Dear Johannes" letters and such like doesn't make teen boys want to grow up and conquer the East.
The real tragedy is that Von Schleichter didn't take over the NSDAP. A Strong Right Wing WW1 hero, he was murdered by Hitler on the Night of Long Knives, along with the Great Fascist Faggot Ernst Rohm, one of the half-dozen people that Hitler used "Du" with.

What values? I know that picture on the top. Those are coffins of bodies coming back from Iraq. The Bush administration tried to prevent ANY photographs of the dead coming back from Iraq - the war in to which he lied the nation into. 800,000 Iraqis are estimated to be dead over that LIE, and it was absolutely a lie. Nobody had any consequences for lying the nation into a war. They violated Geneva Conventions, entirely a war of aggression.
original link
Listen carefully to what Bush says at 0:28 in that video "Iraq too". He knows what he did, don't you? Even when that piece of shit fucking admits it, people deny it. A confession right in front of you, nothing, crickets.
We don't have any values, our military has no values. The military hasn't served this nation in at least 70 years. They are the muscle to murder people in nations that a bunch of assholes in my government want to steal shit from, or just simply profit off from conflict.
If our military cared at all about the Constitution, they would do something about the CIA, the FBI, Washington DC, Silicon Valley, and Wall Street - but they won't. Their oath to the Constitution was just some bullshit they had to say to get a job.
I'm tired of Clown World, I'm tired of Pretend World. Russia hasn't done a FUCKING thing worse than the United States has done, and the United States has done some considerably worse things. You just wait to see what kind of horrific birth defects are about to show up in Ukraine, in about 1 year in Ukraine. Our government uses nuclear fucking toxic waste on the battlefield. It's got 4.5 million year half life, but that's not the problem, it's highly toxic, and when it collides with a solid object it vaporizes, and it's pyrophoric, meaning it burns. You get this fine dust of Uranium Oxide floating around for a bit, you inhale it, it ends up in the ground, plants and animals absorb it, then you absorb them. It blows with the wind. The Middle East is contaminated with it.
We don't have a moral government that has values. YOU might have values, but the people that run this country certainly don't. You won't recognize this, and because you ignore this problem, this problem will persist. Not just you, you and everybody else that can't accept reality. Fantasyland is much more pleasant if you have the ability to live in delusion. Some of us don't and of course, it doesn't matter to the victims of our military. They starve, suffer, die, either way. Doesn't matter what they do or don't believe. Our military will either directly kill them, or deprive them of the ability to live, while our country is run by criminals, mass murderers, liars, scum - they protect them.
Thank you for your service. I guess I ought to be grateful for the last 20 years of catastrophe.
I copied this from Patrick's meme thread. It really impacted me because it shows graphically how much our values have decayed. How long can such a warped society survive?

Not sure what you are getting at here kid, but if you are implying the general public is composed mostly of honest folks, I am calling you on that delusion. I am likely much older than you and worked in many levels of business. My first experience with common crooks was when a department store manage had to fire half the staff for stealing just before I got there. Then later the store had several high school part time workers stealing records, guns, and oil, plus doing some under-ringing and pocketing the difference. None of these kids were from underprivileged families. Now add in the shoplifters. At other business I have worked at I have seen accountants embezzle, employees file false expense reports, and theft of equipment. I remember one high end video dealer in Texas who wanted me to pick up the equipment on site but then mail me the empty boxes out of state to avoid paying state sales taxes. In the old days, computer software was sold on floppy disks and then CDs. There was no digital rights management so one could buy a single copy on disk and then load it on several computers. I was amazed at the number of people who passed around a disk licensed for one computer to share with many friends. I even saw one business in Hawaii that had a single copy of Win95 for all company computers.
Your politicians are crooked because they are recruited from a crooked population and voted in by people who do not value integrity. Before I sound too negative, I will say I knew one US Representative that had impeccable integrity (unfortunately died in office) and a Police Chief with high morals as well.

What are you even talking about dude? You do understand insurance fraud, right? My beef, milk and egg prices are pretty normal. Don't care to know where you live, but my guess is CA since you produce food no one really wants to eat (nuts and grapes), so your prices for dairy and eggs go up. Gross revenue doesn't matter in a state that size when Iowa produces more with less. 20k cows will move prices for states that don't have them. I do.
No ignorance here. I live where the corn is grown. The turkeys you eat at thanksgiving. The bacon you eat for breakfast. We hang out with some of the wealthiest farming families in Northern IL. It wasn't an "outside" attack. They ran an inefficient operation and burned it down for insurance. Farmers and horse owners do it all the time.
I'm not the ignorant one here. I KNOW what people do. I've seen it. I know well over 1,000 people and could call them and they'd be like hey John Doe, good to hear from you. And I KNOW what many have done criminally. I'm probably the least ignorant person on this forum. I'm friends with broke people and friends with people $100M+ in cash value. I hang with all spectrums of life.
"My take is that this was another attack on the American food supply and we had thus far multiple incidents of massive deaths of chickens and farm animals.In this case we are going to have more expensive milk and beef!"

"Attack from who?"
WookieMan, feigning ignorance, does not change the facts.

Eggs at $11.50 a dozen is not normal.
Urging people to eat insects is not normal.
Closing farms and forcing farmers not to farm is not normal.

Not sure where you're living or where you're going with this. Yes eggs are higher. Maybe I'm blind since I get them for free if a friend has surplus. I don't need to rely on grocery stores. We buy whole cows and pigs. The only groceries we buy are things that expire over a short time that cannot be frozen or something for a specific dish. AKA not that much.
Grow and preserve 70% of our veggie needs. And spices. I'm gonna make Mojitos this afternoon for the wife. Oh, forgot booze. Food prices don't effect me. Not sure what to tell you. If you run out to Whole Foods or Costco to get food you might pick up some Depends to stop the anal bleeding from just getting raped. I go straight to the source that doesn't rape me.

An issue is zoning. There's a realwhore up in Volusia who puts his whole "Stop asking me if you can put your RV on these 2.5 acre plots. NO! You have to build a house at least 1200 sq ft. Go rent somehwere else until you can pay for a (country realtor-controlled board approved) building." directly in the ads.
I'm like, this Realtor asshole doesn't get it. The POINT of buying unimproved land way out of the city is to live in your RV and bank the $1200
(assuming a tiny, shitty apartment anywhere near a place with some employment) you were spending on rent. An RV spot is now $600/month and up. That's a shitload of money going to rent that could be used to build a house if Crony Capitalist-Socialist Developers and Realtors didn't Stalinize the zoning rules.
You put in the water & electric & sewer on year, you put in a foundation the next year and so forth, with cash and little to no borrowing. But that's anathema to the borrow big-or-don't own Realtor-Developer complex. They all want you on the debt plantation with no alternative, regardless of your willingness to sacrifice short-to-medium term comforts.
Tons of earlier generations did just this, buy land and live cheaply on it until they had the money for a house, saving themselves rental payments at the cost of a longer commute and a bit rougher living. It seems like the generations that did this for themselves are kicking down the ladder they climbed up .
We need a good 20 years of zoning anarchy and forbidding all but the most rudimentary zoning. We need to restore the pioneer spirit to replace the Crony Zoning Capitalist virus. Other people's property isn't your property. If you don't like it, buy a condo or a house in a zero lot community with Covenants and HOAs where they can fine you $150 for saying "Shit!" when you drop a wrench on your foot in the garage.

America is a very divided country, so much so, it's hard to imagine what could possibly unite us.
Just one example of this intense divide:
A friend of mine serves on the school board as President in a nearby community. Recently, he attempted to enact a policy in which children using the restroom must do so in accordance with their biological birth gender. As is the custom, a meeting of the school board was announced in order to discuss this policy proposal in an open, public forum, in which citizens could voice their opinions, which many of them did. His proposal was met with a lot of radical opposition, which was a surprise, being that this area is known for its conservative values. The proposal failed to pass, mainly, I think, because the board members voted out of fear, and with good reason. The school board President told me the other day that he had received numerous death threats, so it's not a stretch to think that other members did as well! The school board President is a true gentleman that is attempting to serve his community (school board members get paid next to nothing) in such a way to make improvements and protect the lives of the students, and he ends up getting death threats.
Just this past week, I received a menacing, physical threat myself from a former attorney (he was disbarred) for daring to ask him what he thought about "Hunter Biden, who had no experience in the energy field, did not speak the language, and yet, named to the board of Burisma (in Ukraine), and being paid $80,000 per month?" When he noticed that I wasn't afraid of him, he backed down, but I literally thought I might have to defend myself. This is nuts. We've reached the point where you can't even talk about actual, historical events without some radical left-wing nutcase wanting to take a swing at you!

I remember that several of my high school friend's parents did exactly that. They would build a shell that they could move into and then add floors, doors, siding and counters as they could afford to. These were on 1/2 acre county lot neighborhoods. One guy's dad worked demolishing a building on the Willaim and Mary campus and used the discarded building materials to help build his house.

That's how Long Island got built out.
People would buy a piece of land, or families buy a large piece, and drive out on the weekends and build a bungalow. Eventually, over the years, the bungalows would expand into proper houses or be used until a real house was built, and then be turned into a workshop or for Uncle/Grandma to live in. Exactly how two of my 5 neighbors growing up had built their properties up.

Well, West Point had a good run, didn’t it? Once a beacon of prestige and elite training, this institution produced some of America’s most outstanding leaders. But times have changed. Today, West Point is just another woke joke, churning out young Marxists with contempt for the very nation they’re supposedly preparing to defend.
West Point has reached the point of no return, particularly after the exposure of their latest “woke” agenda. Believe it or not, but they’re now offering degrees in “Equity and Diversity.” And no, unfortunately, this isn’t a joke.

Another reason for this curriculum is to dumb down the academic standards so the unqualified cadets won't flunk out.

"As bad as this is, you haven't seen anything yet compared to what is coming."
PS: Be sure to watch the second part of the video, in which Tucker interviews Dominik Tarcynski , outspoken member of the EU Parliament from Poland. Tarcynski explains in detail as to why Poland has ZERO illegal immigrants, and, why the West is facing an unimaginable disaster if we don't close the border, and, deport the ILLEGALS.

The geographical area known as the United States will survive. The government, probably not. The culture - only the viable parts. Industry, economy - it will go back to the mid 19th century; we'll have to grow, build, and make all our own shit, just like we used to do, and in time, we will prevail, after all the useless diversity eaters and their children have starved to death or have been killed by vagrants.

WW3 at Our Door and US State Department Wants Americans to Focus on Being ‘Intersex’
Matthew Miller, State Department Spokesperson wrote:
Today in celebration and recognition of Intersex Awareness Day, we affirm the United States’ commitment to promoting and protecting the human rights of Intersex persons globally.
As President Biden stated in his 2021 Memorandum on Advancing the Human Rights of LGBTQI+ Persons Around the World, it is the policy of the United States to pursue an end to violence and discrimination on the bases of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, and sex characteristics.
Intersex persons often face stigma and discrimination in accessing education, healthcare, and legal recognition, and are subjected to medically unnecessary surgeries.
These harmful practices, which can cause lifelong negative physical and emotional consequences, are a medical form of so-called conversion therapy practices in that they seek to physically “convert” Intersex children into non-Intersex children.
We applaud all activists, organizations and governments working to raise visibility and protect Intersex persons’ rights to bodily integrity and to ensure equal protection and recognition before the law.

Just yesterday, it was announced that the interest payments alone on the National Debt is now in excess of $1 Trillion per year. It is getting to the point where this will no longer be manageable. Moody's rating to negative is the latest blow and it sends a very strong message to those nations around the world that are buying our debt. The only answer is higher interest rates in order to help offset the risk to the buyers of that debt.
BREAKING: Moody’s Cuts USA Outlook To “Negative”
Top rating agency Moody’s just cut the USA outlook.
You might be thinking we went from AAA+ to AAA or something, but no….it’s been cut to “NEGATIVE OUTLOOK”.

the banks should "HODL" ... don't cash out the bonds as long as they can ...
those bonds will drop in price about 1% for every year of duration when interest rates increase by 1% and I understand a lot of banks are holding +10 year duration bonds that were bought when the Fed Funds rate was 0.25% from 2009 to 2022 (except for brief period of 2018- mid 2020)
the Fed may need to help out with these banks like they did Silicon Valley Bank ... Bank of America's stock price is at April 1997 levels and Wells Fargo's stock price is at 2008 price levels :-/
but yes Bank of America is at a very low PE ratio (about 7) as its equity has significantly dropped due to owning US Treasuries .. if banks do not go bankrupt, then they will recover and start a new cycle of recovery
Look at how Fed's balance sheet temporarily increased when it helped out Silicon Valley Bank

“We Are Now on the Brink”: Billionaire Investor Says a US Civil War Likely
There could be a 40% chance of a new US civil war breaking out, according to billionaire investor Ray Dalio.
In an interview with the Financial Times on Thursday, the founder of Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund, said that the probability of civil strife is higher than it has ever been.
“We are now on the brink,” he said. The US faces “much more turbulent times.”
This is not the first time Dalio has made such a warning. In late 2020, he suggested the US was already “seeing a form of civil war.” He was referring to internal movements within the nation as large numbers of people moved to other states for political and financial reasons.
A few months later, he said America is in a “terrible financial state and terrible financially divided.”

If America survives the decade I will be amazed. And even if it does you won’t recognize it. I can barely recognize what we have become in the past decade. I don’t think we can take 10 more years of this.
But first we have to survive the year and that may prove challenging enough. By 2027 I’m guessing that America may be the land of the free or the home of the brave no more. The Rapture could be the catalyst for America’s coup de grâce.

According to an arrest warrant affidavit, on Dec. 30, 2023, Anthony had driven to a McDonald’s restaurant in the 1330 block of South Laredo Street, just south of downtown, when she began complaining about her order to the drive-through cashier.
The affidavit states that Anthony then fired multiple gunshots from the drive-side car window into the second drive-thru window. At least eight gunshots were fired into the window, with employees working and the business open, police said.
