Is WW3 , WW Economic ? or a Prelude to WW2 redux in the Pacific ? spreading like WW1 ?

The Outcome of Our Domestic CW could determine it foe All the Marbles.

democRats are Rats; What else is new??? Same for the rinoRats, Estab Repubs …. “If you want a friend in Washington (politics), get a dog” Harry S.Truman.

George Washington was the First & Last Unanimous President, and he had the beginning factions in his cabinet, Adams vs Jefferson.

Our “Choices” are usually contained within the BOX of Increasing ProgreSSivism and Diminishing Conservatism.

MAGA Populism of America 1st is attacked/resisted by Both Wings of the District of Criminals Rat Party.

A Lost Republic (USA) that becomes an Empire (USSA) has never Recovered It’s Roots in all of recorded history; Not that Americans can’t pull it off or that the effort isn’t vitally worthwhile.

The ink was barely dry on the Bill of Rights (1791) when the Adams administration began locking up publishers promoting “democratic republicans” through the Sedition Act of 1798, for those who supported Thomas Jefferson during the election of 1800.

Human nature is and always will be self-serving, leading to corruption in the government, so factions were only a matter of time – and it sure did not take long.

And thank God Thomas Jefferson won, as a Real Federalist, unlike Alexander “a bill of rights is not only unnecessary…but would even be dangerous” Hamilton, he was able to dismantle Hamilton’s big government ideas, like a standing army or a national bank.

We should have listened to Brutus (aka Robert Yates) who warned us that creating a central government would lead to the large and corrupt government we know today. Bruus was RIGHT about Everything: https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/captain-hindsight-to-the-rescue-brutus?r=76q58

Careful, someone might assume you are a Confederate.

Rather than rehash that disaster of 1861-65; I prefer the 1775 Era, (which was also a CW)

Currently the DC $$$ Merry Go Round is Up to President Trump to curtail the $pending. (50⁄50 ???)

Restoring a republic has never been done before, but Why Not We/Me/You Doing It ??? 2025=1775 …. remember July 1776 followed We the People, not the other way around.

1775 Patriots prevailed over their opposition in the populace as well as hesitant politicians. It was neither Easy or Instant Gratification. It was Hard & Brutal, Live Free or Die was not just a slogan, It was a Reality.

Si vis pacem at least para bellum which includes all forms of Individual Personal Sustainence.

All the Best !!!

Yah, I’m a confederate – as in the Articles of the Confederation, so I guess I’m a real far-right winger – I’d like to see the Constitution amended to mirror the Articles of the Confederation, so we have 50 sovereign states with a very small and weak federal government: https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/a-modest-proposal-part-iv-amending?r=76q58

All the best to you, as well!

Agreed. If the purpose of the tariffs is to level the playing field and hopefully end up with free trade for most of us, then Trump’s idea should work, in theory. How long did it take for America to become the world sucker that pays for everyone’s grift since WWII. The problem doesn’t get fixed overnight, and without some pain. No pain, no gain?

The hedge fund people who create only money will naturally be pissed, because they are losing their source to make more money, and since they do not create products, but only money, they know the grift is over. For those who produce actual goods and products, common sense tells us it will get America’s middle class back on her feet again.

Just like the pissed off socialists who want to keep spending other people’s money on crazy ideologies like transgender surgeries, and the “useful idiots” who protest for them, they don’t want to see the spigot shut off – they see it as “free” money.
