To understand the outcome of the next four years (and beyond) as we discuss on these pages, it is important to begin with the same baseline of information. One key element that is not going to be discussed anywhere else, is what you will read below. Consider this a baseline to review, consider and carry as context for what is going to come later in the world of the USA and President Trump politics. ♦ Summarized it looks like this: In late summer 2023 not only myself, but several insightful analysts in the world of high finance,

While I appreciate the points in the article and agree that we need to keep our eyes on the use of technology, this is NOT a new story. All innovation comes with problems. We got the automobile. We also got LOTS of people killed in traffic accidents. We still do. However, we now have seat belts, antilock brakes, precrash sensors that can apply brakes and steer, air bags, ... We can choose to accept some risk that also has great benefits and we can navigate the pitfalls. We also have to make well considered responses to problems. If one person is killed in an auto accident, does that justify removing cars from our roads? Is ANY technology completely safe? What is the REAL and TRUTHFUL evaluation of technology as it exists? The last question is important. An example is environmentalism. We started out wanting clean air, water, and land. We have been very successful in achieving that. But the same focus has led to false and exaggerated concerns about "global warming" and a self destructive drive to fix a problem that is largely nonexistent and some of which may be forces acting that are beyond our control. At the top of the chain of actors are people who are USING this as a form of control, the same type of control that the article worries about. So, the articles concerns are real. However, the benefits from technology are massive. We need people outside, as much as possible, the creators of technology (and politicians that want to use it to influence) and without huge EGOs, to provide honest evaluations of benefits and risk and ideas how to guide technology for the maximum benefit. And, we need to be fearless in seeking a good balance going forward.

I always told my teenagers that the problems weren’t always with their friends, but with the friends of their friends. Not knowing about these people, I just hope their friends are on the level. There’s too much at stake. The last few years have been exhausting, in many ways.

The author manages to prove that his fears of AI are groundless because AI is in its infancy and we will not see a finished product for a long time, certainly not in our lifetimes. It's still the same old comparison software hindered by the need for huge databases. Everybody in the civilized world is already existing in those databases and can be identified so we must keep control of our leadership and make sure the Barack Obamas of the world are kept in check.

Sundance's piece requires careful study. While Sundance doesn't say it or maybe doesn't understand it, the world's central banks may be calling the shots while Ellison and Musk unknowingly accommodate the banks' marching orders. All for further controlling the world's financial system and currencies and expanding debt-slavery on us all. As we see from the article, there will be both beneficial and weaponized uses of AI going forward. Sundance explains the weaponization of AI for controlling humanity after Trump leaves office especially if a radical democrat were to get elected in 2028. We saw a test drive of weaponized AI right after January 6, 2021. How else did the DOJ/FBI/CIA manage to facially identify over 1,000 individuals at the capitol building and put them all in jail. Yeah sure, conspiracy theory, right? Never forget who owns and controls the majority of the world's central banks and the world's currencies including the US Dollar - the wealthiest bloodlines on the planet.

Even though Sundance is highly credited for his analysis and insight, he is not immune to professional jealousy, which frequently skews his judgment. Consider his views with caution.

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Hillsborough County, Florida, Sheriff Chad Chronister to lead the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), he announced Saturday. Chronister, who has served with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office for more than 32 years, received “countless commendations and awards for keeping his community SAFE,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. A proud graduate of the FBI National Academy’s 260th Session, Chad is Co-Chairman of the Regional Domestic Security Task Force for Region IV Tampa Bay, Council Member of the Florida Attorney General’s Statewide Council on Human Trafficking, Chairman of the Criminal Justice Sub-Committee,
The other huge budget deficit is at the Fed! 4 replies

President Trump’s DOGE will be trying to reduce the federal government’s huge budget deficit, but there is yet another big budget deficit in Washington. In a November 22 tweet, Heritage Foundation economist E.J. Antoni highlighted the fact that the Federal Reserve now has debt exceeding $210 billion. To illustrate his point, he included a graph, taken from the same Fed website as the one below, which showed that, before Powell, the Fed had no debts, but under Powell, the Fed now owes the government more than $210 billion, and worsening:
Yes, Tariffs Are a Tax. What about It? 6 replies

As the un-American left lays the groundwork for undoing President Trump’s second-term policy goals, one of the areas in which Trump’s enemies expect to have an easy target is trade policy. Since conservatives believe in free markets (leftists do not), conservatives have generally espoused the idea that taxes are bad. We go farther than that, in our rhetoric, in fact; we often say, “Taxation is theft.” The left therefore declares, “A tariff is just a tax, and you believe that taxes are bad, so you must oppose it!” Note that leftists don’t say that they themselves must oppose tariffs. During the four long and painful years of the Biden-Harris regime,
The Gentle Art of Negotiating with Terrorists 7 replies

Offering to negotiate with Islamic terrorists is a statement of weakness. Jihadists only offer to negotiate out of fear, weakness or to entrap us, and they assume we do the same thing. Nothing would ever convince them that we genuinely want to live in peace with them, or that we prefer alternatives to violence. So any time we offer to negotiate, they see it as weakness or a trick. If our diplomats ever understood this cultural reality, they would stop being baffled when the negotiations fall apart.

America is about to go to war over whether the government has the power to deport entire families of illegal aliens. That question involves “birthright citizenship”—that is, whether a child born in the U.S. to illegal alien parents is automatically a U.S. citizen and, thus, an “anchor baby?” The answer, by any fair reading of the Constitution and history, is “No.” Our nation must have complete control of our borders. No illegal alien should be able to circumvent the laws of our nation. English common law, the basis for U.S. law, did not allow such people, the children of “hostile occupiers,” to become citizens by virtue of birth.

We always knew Joe Biden would pardon his troubled son Hunter, no matter how many times he promised he wouldn’t. So it is fitting that one of the final acts of this mendacious president before leaving office was to break yet another promise to the American people. Thus on Sunday night, the president issued a statement from the White House declaring that he had just signed a “Full and Unconditional Pardon” for Robert Hunter Biden, 54. The pardon Joe vowed he would never give comes just days before Hunter was due to be sentenced over a felony gun conviction in Delaware in June and California felony tax-

Democrats are looking to the governors of blue states as both a line of defense against the incoming Trump administration and a promising bench for the party in 2028. Governors are seen as leading the charge of Democratic resistance as the GOP gets ready to take control of Congress and the White House next year: California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office promised to “Trump-proof” state laws, and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has pledged to be a “warrior” against controversial policies.

Multiple sources report that a military coup may be underway in Damascus. The Republican Guard is reportedly engaged in combat with a division of the Syrian Army. Ordinarily, the Republican Guard is the regime protection force, but the situation is so confused in Syria that it is hard to tell. Speculation has identified the coup leader as a member of Assad's inner circle. Take that for what it's worth. Syrian state television has just gone off the air. This is just another in a series of signs that the Bashar al-Assad regime is in its last days.

As we reported, President-elect Donald Trump has now nominated Kash Patel for the spot of FBI Director. Patel is a big favorite of Trump supporters and it's also going to be hard to argue that he isn't qualified. He's an attorney who has handled many trials, and served as Chief of Staff at the Department of Defense, Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council. How do you know it's a good pick? All the right people are upset. They know that Patel is not just going to be a status quo, ordinary Republican, and that he's going to clean things up.

Actor George Clooney was a key participant in the coup to push Joe Biden out of the 2024 election. Radar Online reports that Clooney is now said to have expressed outrage at “being manipulated by former President Barack Obama into lobbying for Kamala Harris.” Following Biden’s disastrous June debate performance, Clooney kicked off the calls to put old Joe out to pasture with a column for the New York Times demanding that he step aside. He wrote for The Times, “We are not going to win in November with this president.”

President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter despite the White House saying over and over he would not do it. The pardon includes charges Hunter faced or might have faced from January 1, 2014, through December 1, 2024. Yes, ten years. Absolute insanity. That means anything else that pops up in that time period doesn’t count. Hunter cannot face any charges. Hunter pleaded guilty to tax evasion. He was going to face sentencing on December 16 for lying on a federal form by saying he was not using drugs or addicted to drugs when trying to buy a gun.

The bromance between George Clooney and Barack Obama is reportedly on the rocks, with the Hollywood star said to be “furious” with Obama for setting him up as the “patsy” to end President Joe Biden’s career and then absorb the blowback following Kamala Harris’ election defeat. Another unnamed source said: “George feels duped and vows he’s not going to be anyone’s political water boy anymore.” George Clooney emerged as a major player in the 2024 presidential election cycle when he wrote a New York Times op-ed calling for President Joe Biden to give up his re-election bid following his disastrous debate performance in June.

Hunter Biden added in his statement that he would “devote the life” he had rebuilt to helping others who were “still sick and suffering.”

Donald Trump is on course to assemble the richest cabinet in American history, with a number of billionaires sending its total net worth soaring over $9 billion - not even including Elon Musk. While Musk will serve in an unofficial capacity focused on slashing government waste and therefore will not need Senate approval, those that will are set to break records. The previous mark was unsurprisingly set by Trump in 2016 when his first cabinet boasted a combined net worth of $6 billion.

It was the summer of 2019 and President Trump was about to embark on a state visit to the tiny Nordic country of Denmark. Both parties were readying themselves for bilateral talks, but that was before President Trump floated one of his famous spontaneous trial balloons. Trump said that he had had a conversation with the Danish prime minister, stating that the U.S. might be interested in purchasing the island of Greenland. He said that the concept came up and he said that he would be interested in the purchase from a strategic point of view. This did not sit well with the Danish prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, who has been described

It's not easy being George Clooney these days. The realization has finally hit him that Obama, his best friend forever, used him for a patsy in the recent election. First he had him hold a fundraiser for Joe Biden, where he could clearly see Joe's senilkity, and then he had Clooney write the editorial for the New York Times calling on Democrats to get that guy out of there. Now that the electoral disaster has happened for the Democrats as a result, Obama has left Clooney holding the bag.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is kissing up to President-elect Donald Trump, trying to worm his way into the MAGA sphere and pretend he is enthusiastic for reform. But as a victim of devastating Facebook censorship warned, Zuckerberg is not to be trusted, especially since he has yet to apologize to and restore the data for multiple users whose lives were transformed by online censorship. When Zuckerberg issued a semi-apologetic letter and made a phone call to Trump over the summer, many conservatives, and Donald Trump himself, were delighted. Since then, Facebook censorship — including election-interfering censorship — continued unabated. Like many a careful businessman before him

George Washington law professor Jonathan Turley has now weighed in on the sweeping pardon that Joe Biden just gave his son on Sunday. It not only covers the crimes for which he was convicted or to which he pled guilty, but it also covers any other possible crimes that may have occurred over 11 years from Jan. 1, 2014, to Dec. 1, 2024. Turley just eviscerated Biden when he was asked about it by Fox News and the "bad precedent" that Biden could be setting.
