Ben, I feel great because I’m in Australia. Actually not great - I just feel lucky that my parents came to Australia instead of America after the 2nd World War. Apparently they were welcome in the US too but my father fortunately won the argument and I am forever grateful.

I'd like to be with you right now. I think most American's would. We are going to fight this crazy policy of his and, hopefully, get all of the crazies out of office and get our Constitution and Democracy back. Then we can have a relationship with our allies and won't be looked at as an enemy. I would like to invite you to come here and fight with us, but it would not be safe. You would probably end up in El Salvador in a concentration camp. At least you are safe where you are. Keep us in your prayers and please pray that this unconstitutional government that we are living in will end. Thank you for your support.

The country is run by a bunch of psychotic idiots. Everyday they figure out how to fail worse than the day before. It’s like something we’ve never seen and could never imagine in a lifetime.

Spoke to my MAGA cultist at my apartment complex just to see if anything has changed for his misconception of the world and I will list a few of his insane banterings and he did this debating me by raising his voice louder and louder as he backed away and walked off. 1) there are railroad cars full of sand in North Dakota full of sand,masquerading as oil tankers and this is why oil prices are dropping 2)Trump is ushering in a golden age of enlightenment 3) a large contingent of trains are going to Canada and remove our unpaid for autos from thier soil 4) due to all the money Doge saved we will all be receiving $5,000 checks 5) he is very proud of all the work Trump is doing. These MAGA people are true cultists and before he left he said he isn't afraid of the stock market crashing because he doesn't have a 401k,anything about higher prices affecting him,he believes is fabrication. Kyle Kulinski has a term for this kind of cultist "TFG" which stands for Too Far Gone. This is an American tragedy.

Correct,it's being confronted by information that shows an ignorance about thier world views and how they feel protecting this ignorance, gives them a sort of "postmodernism" and allows them to create a world where they feel safer from confrontation of the truth. Iam not a mental health professional but this reads like a psychosis.

Kathy H's avatar

I sure think you are reading it right. It's the indication of psychosis, a complete disconnect from reality that's frightening. They are assigning supernatural powers to people & there isn't any grounds with which to reason in that. We can give people the benefit of the doubt & hold faith in principles, but when we give up on evidence supporting those, it's flying entirely on superstition. Dangerous. Insane.

Somber Thoughts About the US Economy

While many contributors in MSM(mainstream media) and Substack authors may trivialize this comment there is a word to wise Don’t shuss away comments about the global economy You do so at your own financial peril To painfully watch the daily Orange Cheeto’s destruction of the federal government distracts us from a much graver issue at hand The US economy and its relevance in the world as its reserve currency is coming to an end with an ensuing debt crisis Failure to heed the flashing warning lights will lead to devastating consequences to investor’s portfolios globally

To see the reasoning behind such ominous warning lights see https://bit.ly/3Gk6Uhq As the boy scout motto says ”Be Prepared” Also see for video bit.ly/4cJACIT

Is it true that Vance was one of the last people to meet the pope before he died?

Expand full comment
Adrienne Abramson's avatar

No, according to reliable sources, the Pope refused to see him and sent a low level person to tell him what the Pope thought of him! But, apparently, the Pope saw him “for a few minutes” the next day. Sorry for the confusion.

Vance was "one of the last leaders to meet" with Pope Francis. See this AP story: https://apnews.com/article/jd-vance-pope-francis-vatican-meeting-abf9e1a3fbb597778779dafdc6c491d2

Thanks for sharing the AP News link. I knew I'd read it but couldn't recall where. I suspect the meeting with Vance, on Easter, did not help the Pope's condition. 😢

Ann Ahumada's avatar

I understand that he did not meet with him. Pope Francis sent an emissary who schooled him on compassion and peace during the entire conversation. However I did see a picture of them shaking hands. Most reports I've seen and read is that Pope Francis did not meet with Vance.

I read somewhere that the Pope's #2 talked to him about compassion. I'm sure he agreed, since he said he was a baby Catholic, but did he understand? I'm sure not. Even a baby Catholic should know what the difference is between right and wrong.

Hard to tell. There's obviously IS substance abuse judging by the irratic behavior of many in the regime, but that is maybe secondary to them being deeply messed up people. Mental illness & substance abuse are a bad combination.

He is a sick old man who hates everyone younger than he is. He hopes to destroy America since he will not be alive to enjoy dominating the rest of us. Since he will not benefit personally, he cannot stand the thought of young people enjoying their lives without him being alive to enjoy dominating them.

I'm sorry, but the US is less reliable than my temu bra. Trump did deals, Trump broke deals. So far, over 400 billion in trade and jobs have been lost in the US. No company would invest to build in the US with the current incentives. Also, no prior allies would buy military equipment from such an unreliable country. Good luck, but I'm so glad I moved from the US. Honestly, at least Russia is more predictable.
