They were desperate to take over Europe because their socialist policies at home were disasters, and could only be fed by constant expansion. But no matter, they couldn't expand forever, and were doomed to crumble even if the USA sat on its hands and did nothing. Kind of like the way the USSR fell apart, as well.

Black people deserve respect, socialist entitlement people deserve their head in the toilet after taking a shit.

In some areas involving Russian politics, RT might have an incentive to bend the truth, but in most other areas they have no reason to do anything other than tell it like they see it.

I think a good start would be to get rid of the republican traitors who called the Peaceful protesters at the white house terrorists? and who bent the knee to appease the Democrats. Maybe if the republican party had a spine, we wouldn't have the government on our ass so hard, and would be more able to help ourselves.

There is this mentality going around that race demographics or statistical iq matter more than freedom. That attitude will kill us all. It's no different than the fascists who thought that they were the master race, and the pinnacle of achievement and civilization. Did white demographics save the Germans in the 1940's? If you solve the entitlements problem and socialist mentalities, the immigration and demographics problems will solve themselves.

The inflation tax is one of the worst kinds of taxes. Some taxes, like income taxes attack the production structure in an economy. Sales taxes tend to attack the consumption structure. Tariffs tend to attack the trade structure. VAT's tend to attack the distribution structure. But the inflation tax tends to attack all four. Also, the money is almost never evenly distributed, but instead over-weighted to the people who are closest to state power, so that tends to damage the economy even more. That over-weightiness tends to cause insane amounts of corruption, and sucking up to government authority, oh wait, sound familiar? It's almost impossible for an economy to escape the ravages of inflation without gutting it's middle class.

The US is in a special situation, because the US dollar is the world trade and reserve currency. That has enabled us to get away with massively expanding the money supply, but not suffer extreme inflation because other countries are willing to absorb US dollars. But once the rest of the world decides that the US economy isn't viable anymore, and that the US dollar isn't trustworthy anymore, that will flow in reverse, and all those dollars around the world will be dumped. So we will get double inflation. But that doesn't mean that our stock markets and real estate markets will go up. Stocks are priced in US dollars, so foreign investors have reasons to dump US stocks as the dump as US dollars become worthless. Also, the more they inflate prices, the more it becomes difficult for people to make payments on their debts, as their food and utility bills explode.

Bitcoin isn't regulated like other securities, so people should be keenly aware that cryptos are vulnerable to pump and dump schemes that are more overt than with stocks.

I personally don't know. It seems the cryptos perform well in high inflation and high money printing environments, but they have never really been tested in a 1929 great depression like environment. That's when things really hit the metal, because people need real things over intangible ones.

To me the biggest thing is how do we get free of being w2 tax slaves? So many of us finance them against our will, and struggle with alternatives like entrepreneurship. It would be nice if we could get the red states to make it a felony to share info, withhold federal taxes, or enforce federal tax law.

He got away with imposing Microsoft Windows and Office. It made him arrogant enough to think he could get away with anything.

I just can't understand people who put up with this. Fire them all, and give the education money to the parents directly, and let the market work it out.

This is true, but it is infuriating that I have to be responsible for my loved ones, neighbors, and family, while at the same time the government takes up to 40% of my income, saddles my kids with 10 generations worth of debt, ruins my currency, and regulates me to death with more rules than I could read in 1000 lifetimes, all in the name of doing good for my family and community.

Bullshit, I would prefer take responsibility for those things, but get off my ass and give me my goddam tax money back.

Even if we can't kick them out of the senate, we could at least find a way to kick them out of the Republican party.

This is just wrong.

  1. The nuclear waste is a political issue, not a safety issue. You could literally vaporize the nuclear waste, spray the particulates in the air, and you would be getting less radioactive waste than you get from the trace elements in burned coal already per kilowatt hour of energy.

  2. Even accounting for Chernobyl, Fukishima, and 3 mile island, nuclear is by far safer per kilowatt hour produced than any other energy source. And that is with older reactor designs, modern designs are even better than that.

  3. It's true that nucelar is not going to replace oil anytime soon, nor will it coal, or natural gas. But when it comes to raw, continuous large scale energy production, nothing even comes close.

No, most of them subscribe to a constitutional philosophy that once a bad decision has been made, it stays set even if they would have never ruled that way if they heard the case today, for example, Row vs Wade.

This is why, I personally prefer natural law judges over both constitutional judges, and "living constitution" judges.

Under natural law philosophy, your inalienable rights are well defined and exist above government and the constitution, and the government, law, and constitution maintain its legitimacy to the extent it is able to uphold and secure these natural law rights.
