There's been a lot of interesting action in the pharma industry the last few years. Consolidation and quiet layoffs. I think they know what's coming, or already here. The people have lost a lot of faith in the industry, which is a good thing.
Statistically impossible that four AfD candidates die! To say the least. Angela Merkel destroyed Germany and Europe by inviting illegals to pass through. Germans need to get tough, or they lose their country forever.

It's my understanding that Vladimir Putin is a Christian. All I know is Trump gave him a soccer ball in his first term and I've known since then, that they're working together against evil. I pray daily for all world leaders choosing peace, and we are winning!
Yes, Putin tossed the soccer ball to Trump and said, “The ball is now in your court.”
Many took that as Putin’s open recognition of the capitulation occurring due to Trumps first tour to change everything. There were 650 cargo planes of Gold involved, if I recall correctly.
Putin going to China to promote "traditional values" is a slap right in the face of Xi and his commie perverts, who promote the State ownership of everything, the perversion of history and culture, and the squashing of free speech and freedom of religion. Xi told Catholics that they had to take down pictures of Jesus and replace them with the Commie Panda Bear. Good job Vladimir! The Western Catholic Church are a bunch of "diddlers," but Eastern Orthodox Christianity is still going strong, a bulwark against our own twisted deep state and also the criminal regime in Beijing. Putin, like Trump, has no qualms about pissing all over criminals like Xi.
Remember Xi removed/arrested 2.5 million people in the communist party a couple of years ago. He’s likely much more aligned with Putin than any of us realize. Time will tell.
All of this tends to confuse me. China and Russia are like oil and water politically. Russia was communist up until 1991 but failed economically. China on the other hand is still trying to make that failing concept work by making America their consumer instead of their own people. That “seems” to be working and the “apparent” success of that plan confuses many, but not me.
My confusion comes from the two opposing foundations teaming up against the group that is key to the success of the two players. Then, they add India who also relies heavily on that key group. The key group is you and me! U.S. American consumers buying the crap made by China and India are the key to the trade surplus enjoyed by China and India that allows them to buy all that Russian oil that pays for Putin to waste it in Ukraine.
This just makes no sense to me. Why attack the Goose laying all of the Golden Eggs? If anything they need more Goose, not less. And more communism isn’t the ticket. Trump is proving that to America daily.
If we think about it, American Capitalism is what defeated the old USSR. It took 74 years for communism to totally fail, but trying to compete with Capitalism did the trick!
This time, the Chinese version has been going for 76 years but implemented their form of Capitalism to support it. The problem is, American Capitalism is what actually supports Chinese Capitalism to pay for their Communism.
I hope we can see what is the bottom line key to success. Capitalism is powerful enough to support communism, but the communism is just sucking life out of the Capitalism!
Now, look at America! We have allowed the Socialist/Communists to slowly insert their stupid system into ours starting before 1913, but that was the year it was formally injected into our economy. We have made it 112 years, but it is being ended, slowly and meticulously. That tends to confuse the countries that thought they had a better idea because they thought we had figured out how to make communism actually be affordable. But, our national debt proves we actually failed to make it work. But, we still seem to have excellent credit. As screwed up as we have made ourselves, we are still the strongest economy on Earth! Everyone else is even more screwed up!
Hate to admit the truism in that last paragraph, but as both Nietzsche and Kelleys' Pogo surmised, 'we have met the enemy, and he is us', even though we somehow managed to avoid becoming suicidal
I think all you’ve stated (correctly) might well be a superficial and public perception. I don’t think communist ideology will end up dominate in China. I can’t actually explain succinctly as you do, Jim, but I suspect much more is behind the scenes. I’ve tried to not get anything from China for a while now, some can’t be helped. I thought this is what (eventually) the tariffs would resolve.
There will be different governments in a world with sovereign nations and it’s not feasible that communism and other totalitarian regimes will coexist with sovereignty.
Actually, I’m puzzled by the superficial events, too. A Biblical plan like this would not support enslaved populations as the isms create. 🧐🤔
One last thought. My greatest fear is China kills off communism and embraces private property rights, allows armed citizens, and puts the free enterprise system into action! That will be the worst thing for America!
There are five times as many of them and they have a great work ethic. The problem today is they are slaves and have no rights. Unleashing all of that potential without a huge government will be an unbeatable competitor for us.
We will need to become mean and lean to stay ahead of them. Do you see the problem?
Of course the Christian thing is to root for their freedom and help them anyway possible knowing it may unleash a competitor. America loves a fair and honest competition. But, buying cheap, slave made, Chinese stuff is keeping them slaves. Look at our South in 1860. What is different? Cotton and Tobacco were in demand all over the world and that paid for our slaves. See how the Left succeeds? It ain’t a new evil, Is it?
The problem is it requires a revolution to overthrow a corrupt government. That is why every communist nation is totalitarian/authoritarian and limits guns. They saw what an armed militia achieved here 250 years ago.
What is possible today in America by the people without an armed insurrection is not possible in those countries. We have a Constitution fighting for us. The Left is trying to destroy it because it is standing in their way in making us totalitarian. Of course, they accuse Trump of being precisely what they are because he is trying to destroy them. The rest of the world is just watching and hopefully learning.
China, with your point here, puts us in quite the quandary! This will be interesting and all your points here have merit!! (As normal). Thank you for expanding my thinking on this!
Great comments guys! I have never understood the concept of Xi being in the "sovereign alliance" while the CCP infiltrates and tries to destroy our society. I don't assign altruistic motives to the CCP -- these guys are ruthless and irrational, which is why they are destroying, as Jim points out, the very society they depend on for their livlihood. I explain this contradiction by using the parable of the scorpion and the frog. The scorpion kills them both because "it's my nature." This is the nature of the Dark forces -- they destroy because they can't help themselves. This has a sort of intimidating power in the shbort run (it scares the crap out of people) , but eventually backfires and destroys them.
Many thanks. Trump has been playing a long game and is not nearly as ignorant as he is made out to be. He has played the pharma industry etc. to expose them all.
I was reminded a while ago of Asterix at the Olympic Games where he sticks his tongue out at the Romans who had cheated and they responded and exposed their blue tongues. This meant they had taken the magic potion and cheated.
I just listened to a very interesting discussion about our present real estate national emergency! Apparently President Trump is contemplating the announcement of this emergency due to the collapse of our real estate market.
The present high interest rates discourage borrowers from investing in homes. This is escalated by the soaring price of building new homes. This double whammy is killing us.
Both whammies can be explained by our government’s stupidity and corrupt management before 2016’s election.
We had super low interest rates under Trump from 2017 to 2020. That was due to our FED reducing their key rate to almost zero to save the economy due to previous collapses. But, the high cost of homes still discouraged buyers.
Once the rates were boosted to curb inflation caused by run away federal spending under Biden, it merely exasperated the problem into the double whammy. But, the real problem was the very high cost of building homes. That is what no one ever discusses and why I am bringing it up today.
The problem is very simple. We could not import new homes from China nor from anywhere else. You see, the government’s game failed to work in a very important part of our economy. They exported a lot of our middle class high paying jobs to China and brought in a lot of cheap imports. The net result was lower average wages by exporting our inflation. Our Congress benefitted by importing our trade deficit dollars by selling our Treasury Bonds to China. This funded our deficit spending and actually worked for over 25 years! The public got the benefit of cheap stuff, WalMart and Target stock boomed, and inflation was reported at record low levels for years and years. The problem was, it was all fake economics based on a flawed plan to hide the truth from America.
Our housing market is the proof! That is why we have a housing crisis. Trump is merely pointing to the problem created by the Democrat Party in cooperation with the RINO’s. Both jumped onto the trickery to benefit politically by screwing us, the ignorant public.
Look, the good news is Trump is pointing to the real problems. We, the ignorant public, are the solution. America has all sorts of building materials so building new houses is easy. High labor costs are the problem, but high wages are a positive. The thing that triggered the crisis was the FED running up rates and they refuse to lower them for ridiculous political reasons. Low mortgage rates will spur sales which will spur new construction. I hope we all see where Trump is taking America. He is proving several things to us all at once. Our job is to see the truth and just be ourselves.
There is one twist to this story that no one sees. The FED is trapped between a rock and the hard place. Low rates bailed out the collapsed housing market in 2009 but created a huge jump in our national debt. Congress just kept on spending and borrowing, but who wanted 30-year bonds paying 2%? So, the FED had to monetize the debt meaning they bought it themselves, or forced their banks to suck up the undesirable investments.
When they had to raise rates to curb the inflation created by excessive deficit spending, those bonds dropped drastically in value, thus bankrupting some of their banks. But, higher bond rates created a much better bond market for selling off our deficit spending.
So, the trap. Lower rates will kill demand and hurt the FED’s ability to fund more deficit spending. Meanwhile, Trump is bringing down our trade deficit which kills the market for high rate bonds. But bond rates need to come down. So, our bond customers are going away because the source of their dollars is going away and tariffs are sucking up what is left there. And, who wants low interest bonds when common stocks pay higher dividends?
So, low rates hurt the FED and high rates hurt the FED. Guess why they aren’t doing anything. They have no place to go but away. Their fiat currency can be replaced with asset backed dollars and we can just ignore the monetized debt as well as the Social Security trust fund which is owed to us. Those bonds are just more debt to our Treasury owed to the SSA. It was all just another Congressional scheme to defraud America.
Trump has this. He knows it all and that is why he is in charge. Welcome to the new Golden Age. We are already eight years into it and no one even knows!
The past is just that. It is past. We control the future.
This has been an interesting cycle. Back in 1969 to 1981 interest rates were soaring and stocks were plummeting because of run away inflation caused by deficit spending. I was given 3 10% raises in one year to compensate for the high cost of living. This, of course, caused even more inflation in the economy which got me more raises the next year. It was a vicious run away cycle.
Paul Volker, the FED chair, raised the rates to 18% to kill the economy. Mortgage rates went above 18% and no one was buying any houses anywhere. But, it worked. Killing the economy stopped the cycle.
The 10-year bond was paying 13%! You could get a 20-year tax free bond that paid 10%! The stock market could not compete with that but most investors did not want Treasury Bonds because investors knew the government was going bankrupt. That was reality in 1981!
The problem today is we have been there and done that. Trump knows it. The FED knows it too. What worked in 1981 cannot work today. So, they killed the economy this time with COVID. But the solution was the opposite. Trump dumped money into the system to keep the economy going rather than killing it. The FED rate was close to zero and the stock market came roaring back. No one wanted bonds due to the low interest rates.
Do you see the difference from 35 years ago? But what is the same? Deficit spending is the cause of all of this craziness and the solution is the FED printing more money. Congress using the FED as their credit card is the cause and effect.
But, look at the stock markets. In 1981 all were in trouble, could not find any way to rise, and at record historical lows. In 2025 the markets are in great shape, making new highs, and at record setting highs.
Business is paying for everything in America and always has. Our government sucks the life out of business, or it used to. Starting in 1981 business knew it had to be smarter and work harder to stay alive. Buying cheap crap from China was one way, and driving high paying jobs off shore was another. But, it wasn’t because they wanted to do it. It was because Congress loved deficit spending. That was the driving force.
Today, the truth is being exposed and it isn’t pretty. But, the same solution is here and thriving. It is our business community. I am bullish on our future. Trump knows exactly what I have just told you. It is not rocket science. It is just the truth.
As always, Jim, I appreciate the education I get from your comments!!
So…are we once and for all going to completely dissolve the FED? Then Congress will have to be held accountable for deficit spending?!
Too many Americans (including me) are not educated in economic philosophy and economic systems - by design no doubt, compliments of the banking cartel. Without the FED printing money - backed by nothing really - we could never have gotten into trillions of debt.
It’s true. It actually was encouraged by Wall Street, but sort of by accident. Before we had a booming government debt system, almost 100% of bonds were Corporate Bonds. In order to start a business an entrepreneur would take his great new idea to a bank and sell that idea for a business to get money to begin. That money was backed by a corporation bond at a fixed rate of interest, normally about 6%. The bond gave the bank the first claim against the assets of the business failed. So, the bank never loaned enough for the whole project.
The remainder of the funds had to come from the entrepreneur himself, or he could find investors and offer shares of stock as co-owners. Thus, the stocks were high risk and demanded an even higher return in dividends..like 8%.
This all changed in 1958 following WW-2 and our huge remaining debt. Government bonds paid 2-1/2% which were not competitive with booming business dividends. But, a new idea came to Wall Street. New technologies were everywhere and their stocks were going up very fast, but paying a high dividend cut into their ability to grow. So, the street put out the idea of no dividend and buying for appreciation alone. In 1958 the graph of bond yield versus stock dividend yield crossed. The bond yield was a combination of government bonds as well as corporate bonds with the corporate component making up the majority. But, dividends were going away! And, government bonds were increasing due to excessive spending and borrowing.
This is how our viscous cycle began. Dividends became less important where they were originally the protection for the investors.
I am not saying Wall Street planned to have government boom. I am saying their scheming to pick the investor’s pockets opened the door to government competition for picking our pockets.
Guess what came back after the high tech collapse of 2000? Dividends! The lack of dividends was what was blamed for the failure and the NASDAQ market dropped over 80% in value. The DOW, backed up by dividends, dropped far less as well as the S&P 500 which also had predominately dividend backed securities. Today, dividends are back a appreciated once more. Thus, our markets are not vulnerable like they were in 1976 when government deficit spending drove interest rates through the ceiling. You see, business cannot play games with interest rates. They must control their spending and balance their books annually.
Government can only deficit spend by playing games. The FED finances the games for them. I hope you see the bottom line. It goes back to the beginning of business and borrowing money. The business absolutely must make money! Our government always loses money!
There is only one solution. Very small government, low taxes, and no deficit spending. So, we have absolutely no need for the FED and never have!
In 1913 the bankers met to design a system to expand their power. Why not loan money to the biggest corporation ever and never ask for a profit! Just let it go belly-up and take the legally defined assets. That is what happens in a bankruptcy. The shareholders get absolutely nothing!
Now look at the Act of 1871. That is what created the corporation they loaned their money to. And, the more the better!
This one post tells the whole story in a nutshell. Please share it.
Those leftist Germans sure know how to silence right wing opposition: kill it. "...suddenly and unexpectedly..." means those guys probably foolishly took the "safe and effective" clot shots. Zeig Heil.
While US White Hats drip drip drip reintroducing 'Truth, Justice & American Way' slower than any Arctic glacier cuz they don't wanna 'shock' libtard normies out of their zombie slumber ... rest of the world attended SCO building strategic economic & cultural networks to conduct biz sans USD & Euro Swift = Project Sandman.
I'm sure US White Hats know what they're doing. But this drip drip drip phase better turn into fire hydrant phase in weeks (not months). Trump appears to be demanding truth from Big Pharma but w/ corrupt lawyers & judges that could take years. Obviously Trump already has all the data. So this is all Kabuki theater ... for whom? Who is the audience?
As Steve Kwast has stated, the Chinese will eat our lunch if Americans don't start working together to create a better tomorrow. Of course, this Deep State Enemy must be 100% eviscerated before we can enter the Golden Age which speaks to The Trump Tightrope(s) that Kwast & BB discussed at length last wk. The BRICS Pressure is a vital necessity to corner and hold these Satanists + millions of minions to account for their systematic heinous actions.
I am not here to disagree, but I think about this in reverse. The drip, drip, drip that frustrates you is the key. We need the slow drip and no fire hose.
What we are watching happen is going to happen with or without us. We are merely character actors playing our insignificant roles, but they are the key! Our job is to get up and go to work every day whether we have a job or not. We contribute to the economy and that economy pays for everything! That included corrupt politicians and 100% of the deep state.
That must continue, uninterrupted, for America to exist. Meanwhile, Trump is systematically taking out the corrupt politicians on our payroll and he is destroying the deep state. Do you want this to end quickly? Or, would you like to savor the demise of our enemies slowly and meticulously? I, for one, am ecstatically loving each and every second of this beautiful evolution of America. I call it “Evolution” because the “R” is not needed because of our Constitution. War was needed in 1776, but Law is the game in 2025! It ain’t pretty and it takes a lot of time to get it done right.
What's% imperative is simple. NO Satanic Vampires get to enter the Golden Age. Military Justice must be 1000% unimpeachable. So yes, Jim, UR right on the money (as usual). Btwn QFS + God/Solar/Earth/Humanity rising frequencies, all demons refusing to play in the sandbox will have to find a new sandbox (far far away here) to work out their soul lessons (if they even have souls). God leaves none of His/Her children behind. Jim, TY 4 ur perspective.
Essentially the members of what is referred to as the deep state, including individuals, corporations, political entities, NGOs, etc. All working against the interests of we the people and our constitutional republic.
From the definition in conservapedia, I think these are not people on the left, but "wolf in sheep's clothing" people who talk a conservative line to make money and collect followers.

So, the trap. Lower rates will kill demand and hurt the FED’s ability to fund more deficit spending. Meanwhile, Trump is bringing down our trade deficit which kills the market for high rate bonds. But bond rates need to come down. So, our bond customers are going away because the source of their dollars is going away and tariffs are sucking up what is left there. And, who wants low interest bonds when common stocks pay higher dividends?
So, low rates hurt the FED and high rates hurt the FED. Guess why they aren’t doing anything. They have no place to go but away. Their fiat currency can be replaced with asset backed dollars and we can just ignore the monetized debt as well as the Social Security trust fund which is owed to us. Those bonds are just more debt to our Treasury owed to the SSA. It was all just another Congressional scheme to defraud America.
Trump has this. He knows it all and that is why he is in charge. Welcome to the new Golden Age. We are already eight years into it and no one even knows!
The past is just that. It is past. We control the future.
Love reading your insights on this. This truly has been phenomenally played out by Trump hasn’t it!
The Gold-in Age ❤️🇺🇸💫
This has been an interesting cycle. Back in 1969 to 1981 interest rates were soaring and stocks were plummeting because of run away inflation caused by deficit spending. I was given 3 10% raises in one year to compensate for the high cost of living. This, of course, caused even more inflation in the economy which got me more raises the next year. It was a vicious run away cycle.
Paul Volker, the FED chair, raised the rates to 18% to kill the economy. Mortgage rates went above 18% and no one was buying any houses anywhere. But, it worked. Killing the economy stopped the cycle.
The 10-year bond was paying 13%! You could get a 20-year tax free bond that paid 10%! The stock market could not compete with that but most investors did not want Treasury Bonds because investors knew the government was going bankrupt. That was reality in 1981!
The problem today is we have been there and done that. Trump knows it. The FED knows it too. What worked in 1981 cannot work today. So, they killed the economy this time with COVID. But the solution was the opposite. Trump dumped money into the system to keep the economy going rather than killing it. The FED rate was close to zero and the stock market came roaring back. No one wanted bonds due to the low interest rates.
Do you see the difference from 35 years ago? But what is the same? Deficit spending is the cause of all of this craziness and the solution is the FED printing more money. Congress using the FED as their credit card is the cause and effect.
But, look at the stock markets. In 1981 all were in trouble, could not find any way to rise, and at record historical lows. In 2025 the markets are in great shape, making new highs, and at record setting highs.
Business is paying for everything in America and always has. Our government sucks the life out of business, or it used to. Starting in 1981 business knew it had to be smarter and work harder to stay alive. Buying cheap crap from China was one way, and driving high paying jobs off shore was another. But, it wasn’t because they wanted to do it. It was because Congress loved deficit spending. That was the driving force.
Today, the truth is being exposed and it isn’t pretty. But, the same solution is here and thriving. It is our business community. I am bullish on our future. Trump knows exactly what I have just told you. It is not rocket science. It is just the truth.
As always, Jim, I appreciate the education I get from your comments!!
So…are we once and for all going to completely dissolve the FED? Then Congress will have to be held accountable for deficit spending?!
Too many Americans (including me) are not educated in economic philosophy and economic systems - by design no doubt, compliments of the banking cartel. Without the FED printing money - backed by nothing really - we could never have gotten into trillions of debt.
It’s true. It actually was encouraged by Wall Street, but sort of by accident. Before we had a booming government debt system, almost 100% of bonds were Corporate Bonds. In order to start a business an entrepreneur would take his great new idea to a bank and sell that idea for a business to get money to begin. That money was backed by a corporation bond at a fixed rate of interest, normally about 6%. The bond gave the bank the first claim against the assets of the business failed. So, the bank never loaned enough for the whole project.
The remainder of the funds had to come from the entrepreneur himself, or he could find investors and offer shares of stock as co-owners. Thus, the stocks were high risk and demanded an even higher return in dividends..like 8%.
This all changed in 1958 following WW-2 and our huge remaining debt. Government bonds paid 2-1/2% which were not competitive with booming business dividends. But, a new idea came to Wall Street. New technologies were everywhere and their stocks were going up very fast, but paying a high dividend cut into their ability to grow. So, the street put out the idea of no dividend and buying for appreciation alone. In 1958 the graph of bond yield versus stock dividend yield crossed. The bond yield was a combination of government bonds as well as corporate bonds with the corporate component making up the majority. But, dividends were going away! And, government bonds were increasing due to excessive spending and borrowing.
This is how our viscous cycle began. Dividends became less important where they were originally the protection for the investors.
I am not saying Wall Street planned to have government boom. I am saying their scheming to pick the investor’s pockets opened the door to government competition for picking our pockets.
Guess what came back after the high tech collapse of 2000? Dividends! The lack of dividends was what was blamed for the failure and the NASDAQ market dropped over 80% in value. The DOW, backed up by dividends, dropped far less as well as the S&P 500 which also had predominately dividend backed securities. Today, dividends are back a appreciated once more. Thus, our markets are not vulnerable like they were in 1976 when government deficit spending drove interest rates through the ceiling. You see, business cannot play games with interest rates. They must control their spending and balance their books annually.
Government can only deficit spend by playing games. The FED finances the games for them. I hope you see the bottom line. It goes back to the beginning of business and borrowing money. The business absolutely must make money! Our government always loses money!
There is only one solution. Very small government, low taxes, and no deficit spending. So, we have absolutely no need for the FED and never have!
In 1913 the bankers met to design a system to expand their power. Why not loan money to the biggest corporation ever and never ask for a profit! Just let it go belly-up and take the legally defined assets. That is what happens in a bankruptcy. The shareholders get absolutely nothing!
Now look at the Act of 1871. That is what created the corporation they loaned their money to. And, the more the better!
This one post tells the whole story in a nutshell. Please share it.
Those leftist Germans sure know how to silence right wing opposition: kill it. "...suddenly and unexpectedly..." means those guys probably foolishly took the "safe and effective" clot shots. Zeig Heil.
While US White Hats drip drip drip reintroducing 'Truth, Justice & American Way' slower than any Arctic glacier cuz they don't wanna 'shock' libtard normies out of their zombie slumber ... rest of the world attended SCO building strategic economic & cultural networks to conduct biz sans USD & Euro Swift = Project Sandman.
I'm sure US White Hats know what they're doing. But this drip drip drip phase better turn into fire hydrant phase in weeks (not months). Trump appears to be demanding truth from Big Pharma but w/ corrupt lawyers & judges that could take years. Obviously Trump already has all the data. So this is all Kabuki theater ... for whom? Who is the audience?
As Steve Kwast has stated, the Chinese will eat our lunch if Americans don't start working together to create a better tomorrow. Of course, this Deep State Enemy must be 100% eviscerated before we can enter the Golden Age which speaks to The Trump Tightrope(s) that Kwast & BB discussed at length last wk. The BRICS Pressure is a vital necessity to corner and hold these Satanists + millions of minions to account for their systematic heinous actions.
I am not here to disagree, but I think about this in reverse. The drip, drip, drip that frustrates you is the key. We need the slow drip and no fire hose.
What we are watching happen is going to happen with or without us. We are merely character actors playing our insignificant roles, but they are the key! Our job is to get up and go to work every day whether we have a job or not. We contribute to the economy and that economy pays for everything! That included corrupt politicians and 100% of the deep state.
That must continue, uninterrupted, for America to exist. Meanwhile, Trump is systematically taking out the corrupt politicians on our payroll and he is destroying the deep state. Do you want this to end quickly? Or, would you like to savor the demise of our enemies slowly and meticulously? I, for one, am ecstatically loving each and every second of this beautiful evolution of America. I call it “Evolution” because the “R” is not needed because of our Constitution. War was needed in 1776, but Law is the game in 2025! It ain’t pretty and it takes a lot of time to get it done right.
What's% imperative is simple. NO Satanic Vampires get to enter the Golden Age. Military Justice must be 1000% unimpeachable. So yes, Jim, UR right on the money (as usual). Btwn QFS + God/Solar/Earth/Humanity rising frequencies, all demons refusing to play in the sandbox will have to find a new sandbox (far far away here) to work out their soul lessons (if they even have souls). God leaves none of His/Her children behind. Jim, TY 4 ur perspective.
Could I get a definition for ConInc please?
Hello from France 🇫🇷 !
Here's a good one, and friends will bring useful adds if necessary ! 🤗

Voila! Merci.
This is a very helpful link.
I confess I didn't know this definition either and was happy to discover this very useful website !
🇫🇷🙏🏻🕊️💕🇺🇲
Essentially the members of what is referred to as the deep state, including individuals, corporations, political entities, NGOs, etc. All working against the interests of we the people and our constitutional republic.
From the definition in conservapedia, I think these are not people on the left, but "wolf in sheep's clothing" people who talk a conservative line to make money and collect followers.
Exactly! There are many all over our political spectrum…..hence the uniparty label.
“She deserves to remain waiting to be confirmed as deputy ambassador to the UN – a role that is totally unnecessary – for the rest of President Trump's term.”
drawing a paycheck? perks and bennies?
