“Quick, Watson, not a moment to lose! There’s bumbledickery afoot.”

And with that, our intrepid hero became part blood hound, jutting his ample proboscis into the moist London air, as he spun ‘round and began chasing the trail of fetid rancidity into the dense fog.

Since Merka’s Election Month and a Half, my Bumbledick associates — particularly in the US — have grown increasingly quiet. This from folks who have been berating and haranguing me for the better part of a decade, because I refuse to genuflect and cross myself before reading from the Holy Scripture of the New York Times.

The Biden-Harris administration has informed Congress that it intends to forgive $4.65 billion in loans provided to Ukraine earlier this year.

Matthew Miller, a U.S. State Department spokesman, confirmed during a Wednesday press briefing that the Biden-Harris administration plans to forgive roughly half of the economic loan the U.S. offered Ukraine in April. Continue reading →

Democrats forgot to read the fine print on a bill and spoon-fed a huge victory to Republicans who want to kill the IRS.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the IRS’s tax enforcement fund, which allowed the IRS to better audit corporations and the wealthiest households, is now $20 billion in the red – leaving the fund’s future up in the air.

In 2022, when Democrats had a trifecta hold over the government, they put $80 billion toward the IRS, which was supposed to help the agency hire, modernize, and enforce through the next decade. Continue reading →

It’s a common misconception that Benjamin Franklin first proposed daylight saving time. He did recommend that people rise early to be healthy, wealthy, and wise. He knew it was biologically natural for humans to wake up when the sun rises and sleep when it sets.

President Woodrow Wilson officially signed daylight saving time in to law in 1918, which was another bad decision on his part. (He also got us into WWI and helped create the Federal Reserve). Continue reading →

Have things been getting better for the middle class, or have things been getting worse? Needless to say, the answer to that question is obvious. The cost of living is absolutely crushing us, we can’t afford to replace our rapidly aging vehicles, debt levels are exploding, and the proportion of the country that is living paycheck to paycheck has been steadily rising. Our economy is a mess, and America’s middle class is getting smaller and smaller. Sometimes I feel like I am watching a very tragic version of musical chairs. If you are still holding on to your chair, you should be very thankful, because more people are slipping out of the middle class and into poverty with each passing day.

If you are old enough, you can still remember a time when many middle class families would purchase a new vehicle every few years. Continue reading →

Debt can topple even the most powerful empires.

Whether it’s Rome, Spain, France, Britain, or the Soviet Union, excessive debt has played a critical role in their decline.

The typical pattern in these examples of collapsing empires is: Continue reading →

“We’re a creature of Congress, we’re not in the Constitution.” ~ Fed Chair Jerome Powell, December 4, 2024

The transfer of wealth from workers and savers to the government and the big banks rolled on this week with Swiss-like precision. The process is both mechanical and subtle. Here in the USA the automated elegance of this ongoing operation receives little attention.

NFL football. Holiday BOGO offers. Trump’s cabinet picks. Hunter Biden’s pardon by the big guy. You name it. Bread and circuses like these – and many others – offer the American populace countless opportunities for chasing the wild goose. Continue reading →

US Will Send Ukraine $725 Million More in Counter-Drone Systems, Anti-Personnel Land Mines
The U.S. is preparing to send Ukraine an additional $725 million in military assistance, including counter-drone systems and munitions for its High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, which could indicate more of the longer-range missiles are headed to the battlefield.

Why isn’t that money going to the American people? What is it with Biden wanting to send his damn people all this money. We have people sleeping on the streets or veterans are American citizens and he doesn’t give a rat’s ass about it. January 20th cannot get here fast enough for me. This man needs to go… (Continue to full article)

US National Debt Goes Over $36 Trillion, +$2 Trillion in 2024!!
Today, the US national debt jumped by another $61 billion and thereby made it over the $36-trillion mark, to $36.03 trillion, only four months after it had made it over the $35-trillion mark (July 26), and 11 months after it had made if over the $34-trillion mark (December 29), according to data from the Treasury Department today. Trillions are flying by so fast they’re hard to see.

So far this year, the national debt has ballooned by $2 trillion, despite GDP growth that has been well above the 15-year average. That’s the astounding thing, that the government has been racking up these huge debts despite the strongly growing economy. No one wants to even imagine how this debt would balloon if there’s ever a recession with falling tax receipts and surging outlays. It’s just nuts to have this during the good times (flat spots = Congressional debt-ceiling charades)

Of that $36.03 trillion in Treasury securities, $28.69 trillion are “held by the public” in accounts in the US and around the world, in brokerage accounts, by banks, by insurance companies, at financial centers, by central banks, by the Fed, etc…. (Continue to full article)

How to Cut $2 Trillion of Fat from the Federal Budget
A goal of $2 trillion of budget savings is crucial to the very future of Constitutional democracy and capitalist prosperity in America. In fact, the soaring public debt is now so out of control that the Federal budget threatens to become a self-fueling financial doomsday machine. So more power to the DOGE of Musk and Ramaswamy. In spades!

For want of doubt, just recall this sequence. When Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980 on a call to bring the nation’s inflationary budget under control, the public debt was $1 trillion.

By the time Donald Trump was elected the first time it had erupted to $20 trillion, which has now become $36 trillion. And under current built-in spending and tax policies it will hit $60 trillion by the end of the current 10-year budget window… (Continue to full article)

We Really Are Living In The End Times, And 2025 Is Going To Be A Nightmare
Many people seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding regarding where we are in the grand scheme of things. We are not living at a time of endless peace and prosperity. Instead, we are living at a time of war, famine, pestilence and major natural disasters. We really are living in the end times, and the coming year is going to be filled with crisis after crisis.

The good news is that you get to be here for it. All of human history has been building up to this particular chapter, and you are one of the lucky ones that is going to get to experience it… (Continue to full article)

Every 2-3 Months, DHS Sends $600M in U.S. Taxpayer Cash to NGO Funding Illegal Migrant Invasion of America
More than half a billion dollars in U.S. taxpayer cash is shipped off to America’s illegal migrants every two-to-three months via a convoluted scheme involving non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the corrupt Joe Biden regime, and other powerful deep state players.

In fiscal year 2023, more than $780 million was awarded to organizations and municipalities to help manage the influx of migrants. This includes previous allocations such as $259.13 million distributed earlier in the year. Therefore, when considering the frequency and total amounts, it is plausible that funding could approach or exceed $600 million within a short timeframe if multiple grants are considered.

Did you know that the U.S. and the UN are together funding the illegal migrant invasion of America using cash in envelopes?… (Continue to full article)
