The only reason collateral is involved in the lending practice is to pay back the lender IF the borrower fails to do so as indicated in the loan agreement. If the loan is paid timely and paid in full, it is irrelevant whether an asset was valued at $1 or $1 billion. The borrower has the use of the money, the lender made its profit AND THERE WAS NO HARM TO ANYONE. We have nothing resembling a judiciary left in this country. Felons are allowed to walk the street, innocents are STILL in jail and the court can say and do what it wants with impunity. This is now a banana republic. Make no mistake.

Thanks for todays Takes.

The government shutdown is only a DS Rat Bastard MSM talking point. I hope the government shuts down (BTW I hope it defaults too). 90-99% of all government agencies, etc. need to be closed immediately. I doubt anyone would notice any negative impact.

God Wins!

God Bless!!!

re James Biden. The Republicans are going after laptop emails instead of encrypted Blackberry's. What's the first thing the FBI does when it detains someone? Gets their phone. It happened to Lindell last year. EVERYONE in Congress understands that the DNC has been running a corruption ring using Senate Sergeant at arms issued encrypted Blackberrys and a server to run their corrupt deals. So why haven't the Biden phones been subpoenaed? Everyone knows Schiff and Pelosi are running the Ukraine money laundering kickback operation on encrypted phones -- why haven't they been subpoenaed? This corruption ring has been ongoing since at least the very early 2000s.

Republicans are too cowardly (or too stupid) to do the right thing and get to the heart of the corruption.

Prediction: Speaker Johnson caves to the Dems and keeps the spending going with a CR, with Democratic help.

The only way we drain the swamp is to elect Trump again. And this time it's going to be even harder because the Dems will control both houses of Congress -- if we even have an election this November. Our Republic has fallen, but hopefully we can still have a soft landing and a restoration of the Constitution.

I LIVE for the day the Biden scum is no longer news worthy. Love the Rumble Ceo comment and his determination to share truth! Thanks Badlands for keeping us informed, the "our take" really puts a common sense spin on things.

Another Wonderful Day in the Neighborhood .... will the madness ever end? This KM enemy of We the People is like Endless Swarms of Zombies who just refuses to die. Even after shining brilliant sunlight on 'em. Everyone can see that they are multitudes of ugly flesh-eating zombies. But now we have to make space to accommodate them in society. Cuz u know ... it's the Woke polite thing to do. So while the US, EU & Israel are normalizing zombie Judges/AGs, CEOs, Govt Admin, Generals, Pols, etc ...

Meanwhile, rest of the world is saying, "KEEP your M-F-ing Zombies & AI to yourselves! We ain't lettin' you Cannibalist Nutjobs into our countries anymore. STAY the F- AWAY!

In my opinion, James has been removed . As for Trump's assets, i also believe they have all been secured and out of reach to the corrupt left!

As I understand it, any federal law that violates the U.S. Constitution is invalid, so the supremacy clause would not apply. If Utah waited for the Supreme Court to decide on some rule's constitutionality they would be waiting forever in most cases. Many of these rules are just made up by agencies and not by Congress so they are not actually federal laws.

Leave it to the most racist and anti-semitic regime responsible for mass incarceration and state-sponsored crimes against humanity to feign outrage. Looked in the mirror lately, Xi?

If The US Government Can’t Be Successful In Their Goal To Take Your Guns, They’ll Attack Your Ammunition Sources

“20 states are asking Joe Biden to shut down America's largest ammunition factory that produces 40% of civilian ammunition.”

“20 states have had their Attorney General submit letters to Biden's gun violence prevention office, and they're asking Joe Biden to cancel all civilian contracts through Lake City ammunition plant. This is what they're doing with our taxes and our time, and here's the 20 states that had their attorney general submit these letters. New York, California, Connecticut, Delaware, DC, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.

BTW REMMINGTON IS DECAMPING NY FOR GEORGIA. REMINGTON ABONDONS NY.

This small New York village made guns for 200 years — what happens when Remington leaves?

The nation’s oldest gun-maker recently announced plans to shutter the factory in the company’s original home early next month, citing the steep cost of running the historic plant. Remington is consolidating its operations in Georgia, a state the company says is friendlier to the firearms industry.

"During an interview with ABC News, Ms. James said that it was “really not my business” if President Trump doesn’t have the money to pay the penalty, while also noting that she has her eyes on the Trump Building in Lower Manhattan.

“If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek, you know, judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets,” she said."

Don't rush to judgement but watch how this all plays out. In the end Ms. James and Judge Engoron will go down in history as pair that caused more profitable business to leave NY State than any others in history. And Trump will not lose a penny in the long run!

This may turn out to be the perfect example of nitwits thinking they have made a name for themselves ending up being the south end of two north bound mules!

RE: "They're either close to a deal or it's about to blow up."

Every man and woman elected to a Congressional office knows that U.S. FEDGOV ain't workin' for anything but itself. The bureaucratic managerial state has taken control and the elected officers in both houses of the U.S Congress have not yet demonstrated the moxie that is necessary to take their power back from the bureaucrats. The ONLY possible way to end this trillion-dollar charade is to seriously, dead-seriously, downsize the entire FEDGOV bureaucracy.

JFK signed EO#10988 in January 1962. That order allowed federal civil servant bureaucrats to join an AFLCIO affiliated union and bargain collectively. Lawfare lawyers have since adopted the language of that order to extend communist-union collective bargaining down, down, down to the state, county and city level. Cops, firemen, teachers, judges, lawyers--everybody at every level now belongs to some kind of union. And they all pay big dues out of their paychecks. Communist union bosses collect those dues and use them to get sympathetic politicians elected; politicians who are willing to kick back plenty for the union support.

Up to now, those kickbacks have come from the taxpayer's pockets. But now? Now there ain't enough tax money on earth to run the bureaucratic shit-show these clowns call "government." Every politician in Washington knows it's true but the grift is too strong and too sweet. And the threats of those communist union bosses are terrifying, aren't they?

The bureaucratic inertia that strangles this once-great American Way of life appears to be unstoppable--until it is stopped--cold. Stopping bureaucratic corruption and malfeasance requires two things that are hardly to be found in either house of the U.S. Congress. 1. Courage. 2. Iron-clad, rock-bottomed determination. If SOMEBODY doesn't soon organize such a courageous, determined team of reformers, then it won't be long before armed agents of U.S. bureaucracy are rummaging thru everybody's closets, looking for any excuse to take what little they haven't already taken. Like Thomas Paine said not so long ago, "These are the times that try men's souls."

Good luck to everyone who understands what I'm talking about here. If we don't act soon, we're toast.

A sinister agenda down on the farm: GATES.

Its ‘vision’ is even grander than the government’s, looking forward from 2025, to 2050 and 2169. The report says that in 30 years, jellyfish and other ‘invasive species’ could be found on the fish counter and there could be a ‘lab grown’ aisle, where people can pick up cultured meats and kits to grow meat at home: ‘Meat, as we know it today, could instead start to become a luxury product.’

By 2050, Sainsbury’s expects to be printing meat in store using 3D printing technology. No farmer needed.

“Does any thinking individual”…

That is the crux of the situation, isn’t it?! Where have all the independent thinkers gone?

Which is why I love Badlands Media contributors and commenters, skilled at the long thought observations and at parsing the complexities into trusted short cuts!

Independent thinkers take the path of long thoughts but we are living in times where the short cuts prevail upon our better senses and before long it’s inevitable that the maze of indiscriminate short cuts (mainstream media is gifted at that) has us confused, overwhelmed.

Who then has time for the spiritual inner life…without which the world’s problems persist in ever increasing complexity and perplexity.

The greatest lie we ever believed is: The world is the problem, not me.

The Great Awakening is requiring people to think the longer thoughts, restoring individual minds to sitting on the throne of their own minds…a position long abdicated to the cheap seats of believing the msm lies. It is an independent listening moment akin to hearing JFK’s bell ring - the one on his yacht, inscribed with the words: WWG1WGA.

WE Are the World…Awakening

So far, “saving Israel for last” is an intriguing mystery! ❤️🙏🕊
