1) A very brief history of the Fed.

2) The conspiracy view is that it was concocted by rich bankers & congresscritters on Jekyll Island.

3) Nothing could be further from the truth.

4) Eugene White, in his great study, "Regulation & Reform of American Banking," traced . . . 4) contd . . . the origins of the Fed. It came, not from big bankers, but from COUNTRY banks across the US to help reduce their liability in big swings or panics.

5) Through the American Bankers Assoc., thousands of them worked to develop a system that would achieve 3 things.

1) I've discussed this in my substacks. The whole Bud Light/Tar-Gay/Cracker Barrel thing was inevitable. As with most things, history reveals a clear direction.

2) Beginning in the 1860s, when almost all American businesses (including the biggest banks) were owner operated . . . 2) contd . . . a cataclysmic shift took place, some of it good, some not. Starting with railroads, which grew so large in capital needs and so gigantic in scope (crossing multiple states) and so FAST (for they day), an owner could no longer control them.

1) Well, systemic in a deeper sense.
*Deportations are going to take another 4-5 MILLION DemoKKKrats off the rolls in the next 4 years.
*Legally-required voter roll purges will remove millions more
*The GOP voter registration gains are going to shift at least another 1m by 28 2) I'm a little surprised that no one else has picked up on this cuz surely I'm not that smart.

3) These STRUCTURAL shifts are massive. Today's D party will be short probably 3-7 million more voters by 2028.

4) "Battleground" states will be NJ, NM, VA, and once again MN.

1) Someone earlier accused me in my thread today (where I heavily borrowed from @jchilders98 "Coffee and Covid" column today) that I sounded like Q.

2) Full disclosure. From about December 2016 to about August 2017, I bought all the Q crap. When it became clear that Sessions . . @jchilders98 2) contd . . . was at best a useless tool and at worst part of the Russia Hoax, I quit, realizing nothing was going to happen to those people.

3) Then and now are 180 degrees apart.

4) Q-tips said "Trust the plan," that Sessions & Horowitz would bring justice. But . . .

1) Don't take my word for it. I urge you to read "Coffee & Covid" today. Every time I think I'm close to what's going on, ol' Jeff @jchilders98 calls me, then raises.


2) So we have the public leaks of Schiffty, the Human Lemur. These are treasonous.coffeeandcovid.com/p/connecting-d… @jchilders98 3) Jeff has argued from day one that Bondi/Tulsi are conducting a very public prosecution of the case, that BEFORE any arrests can be made, they want to establish a "public permission structure."

4) I agree that's what they are doing. My concern is that the total absence. . .

1) This is going to become a very serious issue in the next few years, namely the collapse of American cities. They are crime-ridden, filthy, bloated, bureaucratic, and dysfunctional.

2) And ALL run by DemoKKKrats. 3) It wouldn't work in many cases, but would in some, namely a new look at redistricting by a pizza pie approach that takes a small slice of big cities on every side and merges it with a much redder area. That would handle some of the voter corruption.

1) Ok, folks, enough of Betamale, the soy-lent greenie.

2) Can we talk? Can we talk?

3) Redistricting---even if you pull it off---is not a magic wand. People still have to win elections. In Peoria in the late 1990s, there was a young, white, R congressman who was in a 54% D, 45% black district. 4) He not only won, but won reelection. How? He went to every union hall and black church and ASKED for their vote. (He heard again & again, "You're the first Republican who ever asked for our vote!")

5) But more important, you can only make a district out of contiguous land.

1) I don't think the DemoKKKrats really believed Donald Trump & Elon Musk could so totally de-fund the left as they did.

2) One by one, money laundering or propaganda arms to raise money for DemoKKKrats, such as NPR/PBS, are defunded.

3) The laundry is closed. 4) This factor alone "could" be an existential threat to the DemoKKKrats.

5) It's far worse for them, because Trump HAS raised $1.4 billion (while the RNC has outraised Ds 3:1). Now, if you follow me, you know I think money is only of a limited advantage. But it is an advantage.

1) Folks, a massive storm is brewing. All the elements are lining up.

2) The first drop of Muh Russia stuff showed Zero's culpability while president. I know, I know, he had immunity for that. But not for crimes he committed when he left office, including obstruction. 3) I believe (with no evidence, just a hunch) that Tulsi/Bondi/Kash have a LOT more evidence on Zero after Jan 2017 that they have not disclosed yet.

4) The second drop hammered Cankles. Again, while all this said a LOT, I have this nagging feeling that they were still holding.

1) Just a reminder that even conservative-leaning, well intentioned pollsters can have significant flaws that cause them to miss the boat. Maybe be in the general direction, but still off.

2) In 2016, one of the best, Trafalgar, KNEW its polls were missing something. 3) They could tell they were undercounting Trump. Finally they hit on a different way to ask the Trump question.

4) Obviously they asked the "Who do you plan to vote for?" That gave them one number.

5) But they designed a second question: "Who do you think your neighbor will vote for?"

1) So, the Euros are utterly flipping out. They didn't just get taken in the Trump trade deal, they got HOSED.

2) As this author notes, it was almost an imperial tribute.

3) But wait, it gets better. By the time all the military purchases and LNG purchases and other (mandatory) purchases from the US take effect, the Euros will have transferred . . .

ONE TRILLION DOLLARS to the American public.

1) Lawyer Jeff Childers @jchilders98 in his "Coffee & Covid" column today has special words for the "nothing is going to happen" crowd.

2) First, he notes the astonishing speed that Tulsi/Bondi moved to the "strike force." FOUR DAYS since the referral. That is lightning in DC. @jchilders98 3) Second, he points out that the interview (deposition?) of Maxwell, carried out by #2 at DOJ, that occurred yesterday requires FOUR DAYS of interviewer prep. Guess who was on this the second Tulsi announced the referral?

1) Oops, I forgot to answer my first question in the threat, "Why Tulsi and not Bondi?"

2) It seems pretty clear that they have communicated on this, that Bondi was ready to go with the "Strike Force" when she got the referrals. Now, as in all things, personnel is policy. 3) If Bondi puts a bunch of go-getters on that Strike Force, the conspirators are in trouble. If she allows a bunch of holdover Maureen Comeys on there, well, fuggedaboudit.

4) I think the reasons all this is coming first from Tulsi is that SHE, not Bondi, has access to ALL . . .

1) Ok, guys I've given this a lot of thought. My questions were, "Why Tulsi and not Bondi releasing this stuff?" "Can Zero really be indicted?" and so on.

2) Let's start with the second question first.
We know from the Supes ruling on presidential immunity that a president . . . 2) contd . . . cannot be indicted for actions he took while president. Some have even argued that after a president leaves, to be convicted of a crime they must first be impeached in abstentia and convicted by the senate, in essence taking away any pretense of immunity.

I deal in realities, not hopium/wishium. There are two big ones:
1) Obama (Zero) was up to his eyeballs in a conspiracy to overthrow an elected president via fraud. He directed it.
2) No court will ever convict him of "treason." This is just a reality from the Americans who . . . 2) . . . contd reelected this bubblepuffer in 2012 on the sole reason that they did not want the first "black president" to fail.

3) THEREFORE, President Trump should just preemptively pardon Zero.

4) He would become only the second president after Nixon to require a pardon.

1) There is Panican Influencer Chum and there is real world evidence, whether it's the Iran bombing or the Epstein Drizzle.

2) None of the real-world political indicators-I don't do polling as you know-suggest the DemoKKKrats can re-take the House except by running the table. 3) Shall we look at some very real pieces of evidence?

4) Today Senate DemoKKKrats walked out of a judiciary hearing, incapable of stopping the oncoming Trump Judge Express. Mostly, they were freaked about Trump loyalist Emil Bove getting on the bench.

1) Everyone is focused on either Muskrat Love or the Epstein list.

2) I'm here to tell you that by far the most significant story of the last TWENTY YEARS other than Trump's rise is in front of our faces. It is the utter fracturing of the DemoKKKrat Terror Party. 3) Remember, my focus in reading the left is on the "commonsense" DemoKKKrats who know they are losing--ppl like Nate Moore, Ruy Teixeira, and the guys at the "liberal Patriot."

4) They have been throwing lifeline after lifeline to DemoKKKrats for a year. No one listens.

You guys arrn't gonna like this but this is what I think is happening re: Epstein. 2) I think they found Ft. Knox of human trafficking.

1) Well, it appears Elon got his wish & turned the entire conversation back to him, but I think there was something much more important that happened this weekend. I saw "Mission Impossible: The Final Chapter."

2) Without question, Tom Cruise is the Last Movie Star. 3) Probably he alone can draw people to a theater just on his name. Moreover, it is an image he has cultivated by staying the hell out of politics.

4) Case in point: a trailer shown before MIFC opens features Tom Cruise directly thanking the audience for supporting the movie.

1) Trump's sudden pivot on farm illegals, which he hinted at for some time, is DOA.

2) Are any of you old enough to remember the "Gang of Eight" amnesty? If so, you'll recall that for the only time in his career, Rush Limbaugh urged his listeners to flood DC with calls. 3) The result was that amnesty was dead faster than you could say "not guilty" at a P. Diddley trial.

4) Nothing has changed. Trump may want "legislation," but he won't get it. If people think the GOP got an earful over the BBB, wait til they float something like this.

1) Want a quick review @ElonMusk as to why third parties do absolutely nothing in American history?

2) Most of you know this, but may not be familiar with the language.

3) We have a winner-take-all/single-member-district system for legislators/senators.

4) No proportional rep. @elonmusk 5) To win an election in most districts, the candidates must appeal to 51% of the voters.

6) By their very nature, third parties appeal to very narrow issues, hence, a tiny proportion of voters.

7) Ross Perot struck a chord in 92 because the other two candidates were bad.
