This comment here by Green Hornet just kills me: “It doesn’t matter. His handlers are destroying us, and we have no recourse, or redress of our grievances.”

I feel your pain.

But we do have recourse. We do have a way to redress our grievances. The problem is nobody wants to be first.

We can withdraw our consent all we want, but if we don’t all stand together it means nothing. One individual here, one individual there, TPTB could care less. The sheeple still believe in the system and they vastly outnumber us.

I often wonder why I continue to write or actually discuss matters with people in person. Because when solutions are offered, the conversation quickly turns to the sheeples favorite sport of the day.

I can’t quit. I’m not even thinking about it. I often wonder if the oblivious are better off, than suffering under the tyranny of being awake to the abuses.

We’ve allowed this to happen. We deserve what is coming. These communist, infiltrated every institution of our “government” and have turned it against us. They wield their power without any thought of repercussions, because they have so well engrained their message into the masses that no one will dare stand against TPTB.

Every legal means to right our ship has been exhausted. We are left with that final option that our founding fathers left us with should tyranny ever rear its ugly face again.

Yet we wait.

I keep hearing how Trump will win in a landslide now that he has been indicted. If Trump was truly on our side and the “Hero” we want him to be, he would have refused to go to NY. But just like January 6^th he has proven to be a false leader yet once more. Trump needs to be purged from our movement to rightfully take back the Liberty our children so richly deserve. TINVOWOOT!!!

Many people know there is only one solution to the problem we are faced with, yet none of us are willing to band together and take that step. For it means that everything we know will be over, and nothing will be known about the future. Yet our Founding Father’s left us with specific instructions should the days we find ourselves in ever come. We are cowards and much lesser men than the men who gave their fortunes, lives and sacred honor to found this country of free men. I’m tired of the coward staring back at me in the mirror.

That Tree is Desperate to be Watered!

Small businesses across the United States are experiencing a surge in bankruptcies, surpassing levels not seen since 2020, and, according to a UBS note reviewed by The Epoch Times, conditions could become worse as the ripple effects from the recent banking crises begin to manifest.

The note from the UBS Evidence Lab shows private bankruptcy filings in 2023 have exceeded the highest point recorded during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic by a considerable amount. The four-week moving average for private filings in late February was 73 percent higher than in June 2020.

“[We] believe one of the more underappreciated signs of distress in U.S. corporate credit is already emanating from the small- and mid-size enterprises sector,” Matthew Mish, head of credit strategy at UBS, wrote in a recently published research note. “[The] smallest of firms [are] facing the most severe pressure from rising rates, persistent inflation and slowing growth.”

A simple word of truth: this is not the legal President of the United States. He is just a simpleton.

Stop participating in the Great Lie.

After ugly ISM employment data, dismal JOLTS, soaring WARN notices, and a weaker than expected ADP print, this morning’s Challenger, Gray & Christmas report announced a bigger than expected 89,703 job cuts in March (270,416 year-to-date), up 319.4% YoY. The West dominated the cuts (East 13,638; Midwest 21,764; West 48,123; South 6,178), with technology-sector companies have announced 102,391 cuts so far this year, “on pace to surpass the highest annual total for the sector announced in 2001,” the report notes.

North Carolina Rep. Tricia Cotham, who won election to a deep-blue Charlotte-area seat as a Democrat just five months ago, changed parties Tuesday — an extraordinary move that gives Republicans more power to override gubernatorial vetoes in the state House and push their agenda through the legislative process.
