Stay the Course – Growth, Growth, Growth

Posted on      by      6 Comments

Some of you may recall that I have stated that growth was our way out of the debt crisis soon arriving at our door.

President Trump understands this and his entire economic plan is to increase wealth and freedom in America, and growth is the only way you do this. Grow your way out of debt, grow an increasingly wealthy middle class, growth to pay the debt down and make it meaningless.

Third Quarter GDP is 3.4%. That is after subtracting imports which are a negative on the growth numbers. However, in the case of the current imports, much of it is capital goods: machinery, etc. That leads to further growth as manufacturing returns to America.

What are the real growth numbers? Over 6.5% !!!

What does 3.4% growth mean to our 30 trillion + economy? Over a trillion dollars.

UPDATE:
As everyone reading knows – we did not “Stay the Course”. I don’t know how many elections have been “the most important ever”, but I do know this – the loss America endured in this one will be the worst in history. Lazy fools and idiots make up our population and they are going to receive the full dose of tyranny they deserve. Unfortunately the rest of us are subjected to the same.
We have only on thing left. It’s in a box and it is the most important difference we have.

It’s BIGGER, way bigger than most people think…

Recall the Bush family’s “New World Order”, the “Thousand Points of Light”, etc. All of which was nothing more than an attempt to sell to the American people communist overlords worldwide.

The current administration is in the process (well into it) of wrecking the anti American “New World Order” and the communists running it, and returning that power to the people.

If you have read some of my previous comments you would know that Iran has sunk zero ships in straight or area’s nearby. Zero, while their navy sits at the bottom of the sea. And yet we have hyperventilation about oil locked up (when it is actually flowing right on through the straight, through other channels, etc.) in the middle east. Why? Because control comes out of London, not the ME, not SA, not Iran, not Iraq. The insurers, the financiers, etc control the flow of oil, or rather – they did.

The USA now controls the straight, has for months now, and oil is flowing, which is why the price has been fairly stable – rising on the words of London, dropping when reality is known. And all along the price of gas at the pump in states not trying to stop Americans is nearly the same as it was in 1975.

“”Since the end of World War II, the central principle of British geopolitics has been keep everyone fighting everyone else, especially the superpowers, while we run the world economy through chokepoints, financial flows, dirty financial flows or otherwise, and proxies,” Kokinda said.”

Read the whole thing (very short) for a bit of an education:
Globalist Panic as Bessent carries out Trump Plan

Iran is just a piece of a much larger and globally comprehensive plan.
Iran was defeated, completely, months ago. They rattle the sabers occasionally at the behest of the London cabal. The world is awash in oil, bad for London, good for us. The worldwide oil market is going to look vastly different by years end.

The US economy is booming. Real jobs are being created. Real investment is being made in factories. The results will show up down the road.

Illegals are being removed, lots of them. The borders are locked down, almost no one is coming in illegally. Under anyone else they would be flowing in and not deported.

“Stay the course” is a good slogan when the course is the right course. There are and will be setbacks and failures, but the course is the right one.

May 1775 – …known as the Charlotte Mecklenburg Declaration:

Posted on      by     

1. Resolved, That whoever directly or indirectly abetted, or in any way, form or manner, countenanced the unchartered and dangerous invasion of our rights, as claimed by Great Britain, is an enemy to this country – to America – and to the inherent and inalienable rights of man.

2. Resolved, That we the citizens of Mecklenburg county, do hereby dissolve the political bands which have connected us to the Mother Country, and hereby absolve ourselves from all allegiance to the British Crown, and abjure all political connection, contract, or association, with that nation, who have wantonly trampled on our rights and liberties — and inhumanly shed the innocent blood of American patriots at Lexington.

3. Resolved, That we do hereby declare ourselves a free and independent people, are, and of right ought to be, a sovereign and self–governing Association, under the control of no power other than that of our God and the General Government of the Congress; to the maintenance of which independence, we solemnly pledge to each other, our mutual co-operation, our lives, our fortunes, and our most sacred honor.

4. Resolved, That as we now acknowledge the existence and control of no law or legal officer, civil or military, within this country, we do hereby ordain and adopt, as a rule of life, all, each and every of our former laws, wherein, nevertheless, the Crown of Great Britain never can be considered as holding rights, privileges, immunities, or authority therein.

5. Resolved, That it is also further decreed, that all, each and every military officer in this county, is hereby reinstated to his former command and authority, he acting conformably to these regulations. And that every member present of this delegation shall henceforth be a civil officer, viz. a Justice of the Peace, in the character of a ‘Committee-man,’ to issue process, hear and determine all matters of controversy, according to said adopted laws, and to preserve peace, and union, and harmony, in said county, — and to use every exertion to spread the love of country and fire of freedom throughout America until a more general and organized government be established in this province.

We Americans Should Thank the Scots…

Odd couple

Posted on      by     

As a girlfriend of mine used to enjoy saying whenever somebody said that about us: couple of whats, exactly? Straight from the shock-rocker’s mouth:

I BELIEVE this photo was taken at Groucho’s birthday party at the Polo Lounge. I first met him at a charity event Frank Sinatra had organised and we sang Lydia The Tattooed Lady, which was an old Groucho song from [1939 Marx Brothers film] At The Circus. My manager, Shep Gordon, looked after him in the later stage of his life, and for a period of time we were pretty good friends — we were kinda inseparable.

He was always great company, hanging around with him was just like being in a Marx Brothers movie, like being in Duck Soup. You’d go to lunch with him and he’d open the menu, call the waiter over and say, as loudly as he could, ‘What kind of drugs do you have?’, or, ‘Can I get some dope for my friend here?’

I’d say, ‘Shhh, you can’t say that, Groucho!’ But of course you never told Groucho that he couldn’t do something because that would just egg him on more. He enjoyed the sport of it all.

We’d be having lunch and he’d say, ‘Excuse me, I gotta go torture the maitre d”, and two minutes later the maitre d’ would be looking like he wanted to strangle him. There was never a dull moment.

He liked me because I could make him laugh: if you could make Groucho laugh that was something. He was a unique entertainer, in that he could do anything — he could sing, play guitar, dance, tell jokes — and he looked at me as that kind of entertainer too. There was a certain absurdity to both of us.

Groucho came to see one of our shows once, and said, ‘Alice is the last hope for vaudeville.’ He saw me in that same tradition he came from.

Groucho would host great dinner parties, but if you had dinner at his house you had to perform afterwards. Except not in your own chosen field: if you were a singer, you had to dance, if you were a dancer, you had to tell jokes. I’d have to sing a Bing Crosby song, not a rock song, Fred Astaire would have to play piano, Mickey Dolenz would have to dance. That made it funnier for everybody. Those were good evenings.

Even in his eighties he was as sharp as a tack. I’d come back home and he’d be chasing my 18-year-old wife around the living room wearing Mickey Mouse ears, or she’d be sitting in his lap. Sheryl would say, ‘Alice, he’s 86, what is he going to do?’, and he’d look up with a smile and a raised eyebrow. He was one of a kind, and I’m proud to have known him as a friend. He was a true legend.

Stumbled across the above whilst poking around here and there, my curiosity having been piqued by the lead item from yesterday’s Memezapoppin‘ post. The above-mentioned pic:

Awwww. Odd couple indeed, no?

Greater America

Posted on      by     

We live in the United States of America. (Most of us reading this essay. If you’re not American, you have my sympathies.)

“America” isn’t just the 3,500,000 square miles of the fifty states. (And the District of Columbia, but the district hasn’t really been American since the Roosevelt administration.) America is the 9,000,000 square miles of North America and South America. Can we honestly call ourselves the United States of America if the USA doesn’t cover the entirety of the two continents?

We need to do our expansion the right way, the American way. We expand into the territory we want and push out the natives. We can make promises that we don’t mean to keep if that will get them moving, but it’s probably easier to just kill everyone we see and drive the native populations ahead of us. If any make it to Tierra del Fuego, they can figure out how to swim.

What we do not want to do is do empire building the European way. History shows that keeping the native populations around as a workforce and customer base leads to nothing but trouble a few generations on. No, drive them off or kill them off. It’s the only way to be sure.

Only once the United States extends from the Arctic to the Antarctic will we truly be the United States of America.

Well, Sucks To Be a Mullah Right Now

Nicely done list of Iranian atrocities committed against Americans. There are literally hundreds more. Iran has been at war with the USA for almost a half century. Iran has been a russian proxy. The USA has just joined the war, decided to put an end to the iranian regime.

1983: proxies for the Iranian mullahs car-bomb the US embassy in Beirut, Lebanon. 17 American killed.

1983: proxies for the Iranian mullahs car-bomb the US Marine barracks in Lebanon. 241 US servicemen killed.

1984: proxies for the Iranian mullahs kidnap the CIA station chief in Lebanon, and spend 15 months torturing him — let me rephrase that: they tortured this man with electric drills, hammers, electricity, pliers, and anything else they thought of; and in-between torture sessions he was locked in a cage too small to stand, and too narrow to lay down for a year and three months. He was reduced to an animal, mind gone, gibbering in terror, before his heart finally gave out under torture. We know this, because the Iranian proxies sent us video recordings of the torture sessions.

1984: proxies for the Iranian mullahs hi-jacked aeroplanes, singled out American passengers, and murdered them.

1988: proxies for the Iranian mullahs kidnapped the head of the United Nations Peacekeeping Mission in Lebanon — an American — and tortured him. They sent us a video of his murder via slow strangulation when they got bored with the torture.

1996 to 1998: proxies for the Iranian mullahs car-bombed US Airforce housing in Saudi Arabia, and United States embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, killing Americans.

2003 to 2011: the mullahs set up a factory making Explosively-Formed Penetrators of a Russian design, and trained militiamen in their use for the specific purpose of attacking US servicemembers in Iraq. They succeeded in killing or injuring several hundred US troops with these EFPs.

The mullahs have attempted attacks inside America’s border — the most famous of which being the 2022 stabbing of Salman Rushdie in New York, where he lost an eye.

The Iranian mullahs have used the natural resources of Iran to become the #1 sponsor of International terror since 1979. If there is a terror group killing innocents, wrecking economies, and generally disrupting the world, there’s a pretty good chance the mullahs gave that terror group a wad of cash.

That’s a very brief account of the butcher’s bill in American lives directly laid at the feet of the mullahs in Iran.

2026 is the Payoff Year…

Posted on      by     

Just one year under Trump has done the following:

Fixed a stalling economy on a downward spiral. That bad economy is not an accident or due to some misfortune, it is the plan of the left to destroy America. The fix is fairly simple, just adhere to American first principles, the kind that help Americans.

Confront our mortal enemies across the world: Russia, China, Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Brazil, Colombia.
Confront the enemies masquerading as friends: Mexico, Canada, European Union.

The success is rolling in heavily now. There is an interrelationship to defeating our enemies, reining in the “friends” bad habits, and strengthening our economy.

I stated prior to the election that Trump Version 2 would see Iran go down, Venezuela go down, and from the ashes of each would rise a self generated country of freedom. Russia would implode as it becomes clear it is a weak 3rd world country. China’s ambitions would be halted as the world turns their collective backs. Mexico and Colombia took note of the ease with which The US Military took out a vicious dictator, killing several hundred men with not a single American life lost. The pair of cartel run states are now in sheer panic realizing there is nothing they can do stop the US from making them pay a price for their drug production and drug running into the United States. Mexico and Canada have now sent the Chinese back home as the US says no to imports as a pass through. The EU feels the heat of reciprocal tariffs, no longer getting a free pass. Their bullshit green agenda is in tatters. The German economy is in the dumpster, their industry shackled.

The prediction was for 4% growth in 2025, 5% in 2026, and 6+% in 2027. We have surpassed that and are well on our way to 5+ in 2026, maybe even hitting 6% by year end. Inflation is down, pay is up, the middle class is better off than ever. There is so much good news on the economic front that it is too long to report. Do recall that the “experts” stated the tariffs would cause inflation and prices to rise. Neither occurred, just the opposite in fact. Inflation came down, price increases stopped and came down in many cases. It is an economic miracle some would say, and yet it is just using common sense to guide economic and foreign policy.

2026 will be big. Trump will continue to battle the domestic communists and we, the American people, will win. 2026 will be the greatest year in American history.

They don’t have any idea what is next. There is a next.

Posted on      by     

The Venezuelan operation was a complete surprise – to Venezuela, to our own press, to our enemies around the world. There are no moles inside the Trump administration. There were no leaks, anywhere, to anyone.

What is next? They don’t know. Our enemies are very uncomfortable today.

Update: There are reports that leaks occurred to the NYSlimes and Washington Compost, bu they declined to report prior to the operation. True? Beats me. It was a large operation involving many people so I would not be surprised that someone told someone that told the two fake news organizations, but I do not believe they had any details to report, and that would be the main reason for a non-report.

Reserve Currency – What you’ve heard is BS

Posted on      by     

“The BRICS countries are going to redefine the reserve currency”
“The Chinese Renminbi is going to be the new reserve currency”

You’ve heard it and it is all bullshit promoted by anti-American conmen. Brics are countries like South Africa, Egypt, and Ethiopia, with absolutely nothing to contribute. As for the others, like China – you want to be holding an unstable currency? Of course not, nor does anyone else.

Which is why the dollar remains KING, currently at 58% of the worlds reserve currency holding, and the euro coming next at 1/3 of the USA, roughly 20%. After that it’s all small ball at 6% or less. China is 2% – who wants to hold the renminbi when the chinaman may very well devalue it at anytime?

And all this was taking place with the US under marxist control for many years, devastating our economy.

And now, it is just going to go back up. It peaked at around 70% back about year 2000. I expect to see it even higher in a couple years as the American economy begins taking off*.

3rd Quarter Growth – 4.3% “Unexpected”

Posted on      by     

Not unexpected by me or other people that do not suffer Trump derangement. Trump did it in his first term but it took longer.

It is why they released the virus along with their psyops – they had to shut down the economic progress before the American people realized how easy it was to have a robust wealth producing economic system in the USA. The other benefits (to them) were extra but planned. #1 was stop the economy.

Now it’s back. The plan has always been – grow your way out of the trouble created by every past administration since Ike. And it is working.

Unexpected only by those ignorant enough to believe the business school propaganda. The WSJ propaganda. The Chamber of Commerce propaganda. The democrat party propaganda. And the republican in name only propaganda.

It’s always enlightening to me to discover there are many that do understand it and expected it. I’m not alone.

One year in and the result is 4.3%. I expect to break 5 next year and 6 the year after if the American people just stay the course.

US Economy Grows Like Barry* Expected

America rises, Chinese growth stunted, under 3% – Thanks President Trump!

Grow Your Way Out of Debt – The Trump Plan

Posted on      by     

Quarter 3 growth is 4.2%
It just keeps going up.
Private spending – private investment – not the damn government growing (gov is downsizing)

It is a big deal, one that is glossed over by the left, the “media”, and the rino republicans.

Real Private Sector Growth

Hat tip Instapundit

Also, from the comments, one by Kenny:
“Native-Born Workers Rise By 2 Million Under Trump To A New Record High, As Foreign-Born Plunge By 1.6 Million”

Native Born Workers Rise

It is a BIG DEAL. How often have we told you the plan is to increase growth and grow ourselves out of trouble and increasing personal wealth at the same time. Get the economy on track, then next eliminate institutional welfare…

The Beginning of the End of Islamic Terror

Posted on      by     

That’s how I see it.
Thanks to the vision of President Trump and the tenaciousness of the Israeli’s, today we have:

Hamas destroyed and utterly defeated.
Hezbollah dead and unable to mount any military action.
Iran’s hopes for nukes are done. They know it.
Syria is dead and no threat.
Iraq is dead and no threat.

The remainder of the ME countries are dedicated to making peace with Israel and the wider world.

Israel has not been in this good of shape, less threatened, since the beginning of Israel. The threat of war is over.

President Trump understands that a peaceful ME is good for America and bad for her enemies – the chinese and russians, and the marxist left within.

The great Schlichter has a few words, perhaps his best ever:
…Utter Humiliation of Palestinian Terrorists…
