From where I sit today.............

The turds at the Fed, insiders in Congress and big banks, the Treasury thieves are all looking out for their best interests.  Those interests are not aligned with the American people or our economy.

You can not ask greedy people to think about the tomorrows.

It's like asking Obama to stop telling lies.

I hope you follow David Stockman.  David Stockman is a breath of fresh air amongst the bullshit that permeates D.C., Wall Street and the media.  Borrowing and reckless spending is modeled by our bloated government  They know a crash is coming if the Fed normalizes rates.

The stock market today was just more Yellen.  Just another "thank you" to the bankers and financiers who carry the day.

To those in Sisseton,  Browning,  Crow Agency,  Waubun, Mandaree,  Lake Andes,  White Shields, Twin Buttes and Lower Brule it was another "bend over and grab your ankles" to the little people who are caught between real inflation and zero interest rates.

Think about it.

ISIS isn't even a threat compared to the crime scene they call the financial markets in America.

iPhones at the Tomb of Jesus

The iPhone crowd seems heavily populated by groundless humans, living in a cold world of narcissism and selfies, distributing inane, mundane, crude and unimportant text messages and pictures.

Ask them what is so important on that iPhone when you see them so thoroughly engrossed.

You will be amazed at the answers.

Imagine how quickly a crowd would have gathered at the empty Tomb of Christ back in the day with their iPhones.

The selfie crowd would have had a field day.

Elizabeth Warren on Twitter..........

Her twitter attacks on Trump are gaining voters for Trump every hour.

Pocahontas Warren spouting off on Trump is funny.

Her Native American lies are the worst of the worst.

She is like a bad cowboy.  Big hat, no cattle.      This liberal fake who wouldn't audit the Fed and refused to endorse Bernie Sanders is on the Hillary payroll.

What good is she to Soros?

Canada, be careful, be very careful.............

It’s already started.

Another Trump win and who knows what the hell could happen up here in Canada.  Liberals sneaking north en masse. Collective IQ of Americans remaining in the United States rising exponentially. 

Crisis at the Canadian Border - A Prescient Look at the Consequences of a Republican Win in November.  The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the past week, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop the illegal immigration.

The Republican Presidential primary campaign is prompting an exodus among left leaning citizens who fear they'll soon be required to hunt, pray, and live according to conservative ideas about the Constitution.  Canadian border farmers say it's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, global warming activists, and "green" energy proponents crossing their fields at night. "I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in the barn," said Southern Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota . “The producer was cold, exhausted and hungry. He asked me if I could spare a latte and some free-range chicken. When I said I didn't have any, he left before I even got a chance to show him my screenplay, eh? 

"In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences, but the liberals scaled them. He then installed loudspeakers that blared Rush Limbaugh across the fields, but they just keep coming. 

Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals near the Canadian border, pack them into electric cars and drive them across the border where they are simply left to fend for themselves after the battery dies.  "A lot of these people are not prepared for our rugged conditions," an Ontario border patrolman said. "I found one carload without a single bottle of Perrier drinking water. They did  have a nice little Napa Valley cabernet, though, and some kale chips.  "When liberals are caught, they're sent back across the border, often wailing loudly that they fear retribution from conservatives.  Rumors have been circulating about plans being made to build re-education camps where liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer and study the Constitution.

In recent days, liberals have turned to ingenious ways of crossing the border. Some have been disguised as senior citizens taking a bus trip to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs.
After catching a half- dozen young vegans in blue-hair wig disguises, Canadian immigration authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the supposed senior citizens about Perry Como and Rosemary Clooney to prove that they were alive in the '50s. "If they can't identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we become very suspicious about their age," an official said. 

Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are creating an organic-broccoli shortage, buying up all the Barbara Streisand c.d.'s, and renting all the Michael Moore movies.
 
"I really feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just can't support them," an Ottawa resident said. "How many art-history majors does one country need?"


So dam good, just awful dam good..............

Click this link if you need some plain unvarnished truth on politics from a Judge.

This should be required reading in every "FREE" college class.

Maybe it should be played in every office where EBT/SNAP applications are filled out as well.    Just pure honesty from her heart!

Judge tells it like it is...........

Parisian Boys having fun.................


Every day I shake my head at the screens...............

Seven years of "the economy is improving, but boy - is it still shitty!"   But, but - low gas prices, high stock prices..... everything is awesome but the worse things get, the more central banks ease and the more the market goes up.  The problem is, as negative rates have shown, the FED is out of powder despite what they claim. All they will do is more QE, which puts a bigger air pocket between stock prices and the reality of fundamentals like sales and earnings and further expands the wealth divide.

Some days I think there is no market, no economy, only the FED.  Armed with an economics degree long ago I thought there was a relationship between supply and demand but welcome to 21st century economics.  Where is Roy Grohs to explain this?

If you are the CEO and sales/profits drop, hey, no problem. Call up your local central bank, get an infusion of newly printed money (at 0% interest) and buy up outstanding shares to boost your stock price.  What can possibly go wrong?

Pain & Anger


Living in a suburb is something that I never envisioned growing up.   I grew up in tiny towns, very tiny, very rural, very poor.   I was one of the first persons on-scene at this tragedy yesterday.  On a beautiful day in Georgia there were lifetimes of memories destroyed.  Respect fire.  Respect life.

MILTON, GA -- The son of a Milton homeowner has been charged in connection to a fire that significantly damaged the family home.
Milton fire investigators have arrested and charged Joseph Allen Dusek with first degree arson following the Monday afternoon fire.
Milton Fire Rescue crews responded to a call of a fire around 3:10 p.m. March 14 at a home on Highland Oaks Court. A motorist on Hopewell Road, which sits to the east, noticed the fire and called 911, said Deputy Fire Chief Mark Stephens.
No one was home at the time of the fire, and no injuries to civilians or firefighters were reported. Stephens said the fire appeared to have been "intentionally set, and the interior of the house suffered major structural damage."

Milton fire investigators arrested and charged Dusek with first degree arson, Stephens added.  Stephens said Dusek is the adult son of the homeowner, and the motive of the incident remains unclear, as Dusek is "not cooperating with the investigators."  Dusek was booked into the Fulton County Jail March 14 where he remains.

Ron Branch, Happy Birthday!

I would like to wish my good friend Ron Branch, from Tifton, Georgia a very happy birthday today.

Ron and I have had more laughs than Ron White with a scotch in hand over the years, well maybe not, but we had a scotch or two to go with our laughs.

We've had some memorable times over the years and putting these guys on the wall was a hoot too!

America's mixed up interest..........

In 2016 the official poverty level income for a 2 person family is $15,930.

To make that much money from risk-free "savings" ie banks are paying interest of around .15%.

You would need to have $10,620,000 in your bank account at that interest rate to make $15,930 every year.

Something isn't right and it is clear to me that those who represent me (and you) don't care what is happening to America in retirement.

The beatings will continue.  Maybe the morale will get worse before it gets better.

I hope so.  It will make for a better fight.

Home from Hunting

It doesn't get any better than to return home from a weekend chasing whitetails in the woods of south Georgia to family.

Georgia,  circa  1996.

Nebraska Coyotes circa 1977

Some pretty fawn killers stretched and dried ready for market.  One of those coyotes was a hybrid of sorts, either a wolf or some very large dog blood in him.  That coyote weighed either 73 or 75 pounds on the scale in the carcass.  We killed him while it was feeding on a dead cow in mid-winter.  Have never seen a coyote close to being that big since.  Reminds me of the female beaver caught north of Cyrus MN back in the 1970's that weighed 85 pounds.  Simply hard to believe if I hadn't held both critters in my hands.

Montana circa 1978

Pounding on some beautiful coyotes in the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area.  Back in the day when those gorgeous white belly's were selling for triple digits!

Politics in America.

Every politician has a solution to every problem.   Every solution invariably entails taking away a little more of our money and a little more of our freedom.

Carry on America.  The beatings will continue until the morale improves.

Bennett on Trump

By Bill Bennett
 
They will kill him, before they let him be president. It could be a Republican or a Democrat that instigates the shutting up of Trump.
 
Don’t be surprised if Trump has an accident. Some people are getting very nervous: Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton and Jon Corzine, to name just a few.
 
It's about the unholy dynamics between big government, big business, and big media. They all benefit by the billions of dollars from this partnership, and it's in all of their interests to protect one another. It's one for all and all for one.
 
It’s a heck of a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy rich, everyone except the American people. We get ripped off. We’re the patsies. But for once, the powerful socialist cabal and the corrupt crony capitalists are scared. The over-the-top reaction to Trump by politicians of both parties, the media, and the biggest corporations of America has been so swift and insanely angry that it suggests they are all threatened and frightened.
 
Donald Trump can self-fund. No matter how much they say to the contrary, the media, business, and political elite understand that Trump is no joke.  He could actually win and upset their nice cozy apple cart.

It's no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy The Donald.  It's because most of the other politicians are part of the a good old boys club. They talk big, but they won’t change a thing. They are all beholden to big-money donors.
 
They are all owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations, and multinational corporations – like Big Pharmacy or Big Oil. Or they are owned lock, stock, and barrel by foreigners like George Soros owns Obama or foreign governments own Hillary and their Clinton Foundation donations.

These run-of-the-mill establishment politicians are all puppets owned by big money.  But there's one man who isn't beholden to anyone.
There's one man who doesn't need foreigners, or foreign governments, or George Soros, or the United Auto Workers, or the teacher's union, or the Service Employees International Union, or the Bar Association to fund his campaign.
 
Billionaire tycoon and maverick Donald Trump doesn’t need anyone’s help. That means he doesn’t care what the media says. He doesn’t care what the corporate elites think. That makes him very dangerous to the entrenched interests. That makes Trump a huge threat to those people. Trump can ruin everything for the bribed politicians and their spoiled slave masters.
 
Don’t you ever wonder why the GOP has never tried to impeach Obama? Don’t you wonder why John Boehner and Mitch McConnell talk a big game, but never actually try to stop Obama?
 
Don’t you wonder why Congress holds the purse strings, yet has never tried to defund Obamacare or Obama’s clearly illegal executive action on amnesty for illegal aliens? Bizarre, right? It defies logic, right?
 
First, I'd guess many key Republicans are being bribed. Secondly, I believe many key Republicans are being blackmailed. Whether they are having affairs, or secretly gay, or stealing taxpayer money, the National Security Agency knows everything.
 
Ask former House Speaker Dennis Hastert about that. The government even knew he was withdrawing large sums of his own money from his own bank account. The NSA, the SEC, the IRS, and all the other three-letter government agencies are watching every Republican political leader. They surveil everything.
 
Thirdly, many Republicans are petrified of being called racists, so they are scared to ever criticize Obama or call out his crimes, let alone demand his impeachment.
 
Fourth , why rock the boat?  After defeat or retirement, if you’re a good old boy, you’ve got a $5 million-per-year lobbying job waiting. The big-money interests have the system gamed. Win or lose, they win.
 
But Trump doesn’t play by any of these rules. Trump breaks up this nice, cozy relationship between big government, big media, and big business. All the rules are out the window if Trump wins the Presidency. The other politicians will protect Obama and his aides  but not Trump.
 
Remember: Trump is the guy who publicly questioned Obama's birth certificate.  He questioned Obama's college records and how a mediocre student got into an Ivy League university.  Now, he's doing something no Republican has the chutzpah to do.  He's questioning our relationship with Mexico; he's questioning why the border is wide open; he's questioning why no wall has been built across the border; he's questioning if allowing millions of illegal aliens into America is in our best interests; he's questioning why so many illegal aliens commit violent crimes, yet are not deported; and he's questioning why our trade deals with Mexico, Russia and China are so bad.
 
Trump has the audacity to ask out loud why American workers always get the short end of the stick. Good question!
 
I'm certain Trump will question what happened to the almost billion dollars given in a rigged no-bid contract to college friends of Michelle Obama at foreign companies to build the defective Obamacare website.  By the way, that tab is now up to $5 billion.
Trump will ask if Obamacare's architects can be charged with fraud for selling it by lying.  Trump will investigate Obama's widespread IRS conspiracy, not to mention Obama's college records. Trump will prosecute Clinton and Obama for fraud committed to cover up Benghazi before the election.  How about the fraud committed by employees of the Labor Department when they made up dramatic job numbers in the last jobs report before the 2012 election?
 
Obama, the multinational corporations and the media need to stop Trump. They recognize this could get out of control. If left unchecked, telling the raw truth and asking questions everyone else is afraid to ask, Trump could wake a sleeping giant.
Trump's election would be a nightmare. Obama has committed many crimes. No one else but Trump would dare to prosecute. He will not hesitate. Once Trump gets in and gets a look at the cooked books and Obama's records, the game is over.
 
The jig is up. The goose is cooked. Holder could wind up in prison. Jarrett could wind up in prison. Obama bundler Corzine could wind up in prison for losing $1.5 billion of customer money.
 
Clinton could wind up in jail for deleting 32,000 emails or for accepting bribes from foreign governments while Secretary of State, or for misplacing $6 billion as the head of the State Department, or for lying about Benghazi.  The entire upper level management of the IRS could wind up in prison.
 
Obamacare will be de-funded and dismantled. Obama himself could wind up ruined, his legacy in tatters. Trump will investigate. Trump will prosecute. Trump will go after everyone involved. That’s why the dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump. 

Yes, it's become open season on Donald Trump.
 
The left and the right are determined to attack his policies, harm his businesses and if possible, even keep him out of the coming debates.  But they can't silence him. And they sure can't intimidate him.
 

The more they try, the more the public will realize that he's the one telling the truth.

Captain America, the rising sun has gone NEGATIVE!

It may have little effect on those in Crow Agency, Mandaree, Sisseton, Pine Ridge or Marty but this is global financial history in the making.  For the first time in the history of Japan, the Japanese government "sold" 10-year bonds at a NEGATIVE YIELD.  Translated into terms America can understand, this means "investors" agreed to pay the Japanese government 2.4 basis points per year for the privilege of lending the government money for 10 years.

It's coming to a bank in America soon enough.  Maybe your bank.  Maybe your money.

You give a shit?

Had enough of this yet?       Look around you America, wake up.  These slime balls at the Fed are taking the country down.  The Fed continues its willful ignorance.

Debt to GDP ratio of 200% is coming.  It's predictable.  The folly of every CEO buying back their own company stock at record highs with DEBT will be dealt stunning blows.  It is hard to stomach but the folly will be exposed.

The beating will continue until morale improves.
