Captain Recordvotegetter is giving a speech today. Whatever he says, it’ll be another effort to break your will. That’s how the cycle works. Biden wants you to believe “this is never going to get better”. Once you think there’s no … Continue reading →

I grew up in the first of what I’ve recognized as three cycles of collapse. I’ve learned by looking for parallels and differences. As a kid in the 1970’s, I saw society crapping out. Society didn’t recognize its bad trajectory … Continue reading →
