Proud to be American

Is the United States a Banana Republic? ~ The Imaginative Conservative

Obama 3.7 million dollar grant to the Wuhan Lab 🙁

What do you miss about your childhood?

I miss my maternal Grandparents, Parents and Godparents who put out a fabulous garden. Believing everyone was actually kind and having the innocence of a child.

I miss having no worries because back then everything was so right. It was a time we didn’t care about our future and simply lived in the moment. I really miss this attitude of mine. I miss the People who passed away, that were so solid and principled. I guess I miss ” The greatest generation’s awareness ” .
Honesty I miss those days when I did not fake a smile. Nowadays, more often than not, you have to do things even if you’re not okay. As if, life doesn’t matter #sadtruth  I miss the simplicity and childlike clarity and the penny candy stores of my youth. I miss riding my bike down to the mile creek And the illusion of having time. I miss Playing with the Stucke kids from the block, being welcomed to their house, learning baseball fundamentals from Romie and just us being kids having fun despite what we had. Kinda hard to let other kids experience this for we barely see any kids outside today.
It’s something I truly wished they experienced The camaraderie..

There’s a lot to learn from being a kid: Few of them being – never give up – be yourself – enjoy every moment – caring about others – expressing yourself – being happy

– Freedom from everything.

Also not knowing what was coming before us in the near future. I miss having 0 responsibilities, just being happy and going outside and playing with friends and how much games I was going to play that day. I miss evening softball games and playing tag football. And Not having to care a damn thing about the world or a care in the world.
I miss Spending hours on hours playing board games with zero worries about paying rent or bills or being severely liquidated from over leveraging. I miss Having no fear and had an endless vision of having to worry about nothing and I miss the Innocence. Respect. Manners. Simpler times. I eventually miss being left alone: I learned best how to accept that I might be the only one in my life.

The carefree innocence that forever rooted me in the present oblivious to any fear of what the next moment/ the future would hold. I miss the picnics in the Smoky Mountains with my whole family Time spent with friends Trick or treating and playing on a team. Good times are non-stop talking!
I miss the fact that bumps, bruises and even broken shit healed quick.
I miss the Calm mind and getting excited (also curious) to know everything
Since memories are mostly subjective and the sentiment can change from recall to recall, I’m not sure I really know anymore. I miss playing outside! like walking barefoot in the rain. Looney Tunes on Saturday morning or Batman at 4PM. While being unworried. Mistakes weren’t being judged and unjudged. I miss being able to get lost in my imagination with friends or by myself playing with The Big Red Machine and pitch & catch with Wally Post.

We’re in the “normalise the abnormal” phase. 
It’s better to live ONE day as a lion than 100 years as a lamb.
THIS is what sacrifice looks like.
I’m feeling you’re right, because the virus will constantly mutate and will always be a step ahead of us. But even if we could “go back to normal”, we shouldn’t, because normality means creating all the risk factors that allowed Covid-19 to emerge. We must fundamentally change. The nation of laws you were born into (or thought you were born into) is deader than John Dillinger. Which, if you think about it, makes you A) just like those Founding Fathers, and B) freer than you’ve ever been. Think about it. It’s time to prepare. Get your house in order now.
You’ve GOT to be loyal to pain sometimes to be loyal to the GLORY that came out of it. NEVER take for granted what has been given to you!
How can a story never die? It is love we must hold onto. It’s Never easy, but we try ~ Sometimes our happiness is captured. Somehow, our time and place stand still, Love lives on inside our hearts and always will. Everything that the left destroys that we watch is one less thing that keeps us from focusing on God! The God they hate or don’t believe in is the God Who is using these devils to bring us to heaven!
I do not easily trust people. If I break down that wall and let you in and you choose to lie to me, it makes it far more difficult for me to take that leap with the next person. People’s feelings matter. Actions have consequences. Don’t always think selfishly. Some people are inherently selfish, they are getting easier to spot at least. Good people have trust issues because we are a target for the dark side. Once burnt, twice shy but I will never stop being me and reaching out with a helping hand. Love wins! Agree with you Lady and I admit I can be selfish sometimes thinking about my own problems and not others.
I agree- betrayal and lies make life unpleasant–ambitious sorts who think if they use you, they are somehow “elevated” on the ego trip—Good people are gold!  But there is one thing I have a lot of respect for you for always asking if I’m okay and there should be more people like you in this world and I’m glad to have u As a friend.
I pray for less focus on you and more on Jesus so that you can know what it is like to not rely on your own feelings. In the name of Jesus! Amen!

If you get mad at someone’s perspective-stop and think about why. They’re hitting a nerve. Maybe they need to. I do my best work when I’m ticked off and have to stop and think about WHY *I* reacted that way. It wasn’t the sender, it’s the receiver. Being scared of getting hurt will 100% make you miss out on the good things in life.

President Biden: You love to play race card: Each Day of your Administration,

I will ask you two questions:
Where does systemic discrimination exist in American?
What have you done to eliminate systemic discrimination?

The one false piece of info ….
you should be watching out for is xenophobic doesn’t mean what Dems think it does. Just because you’re white and American doesn’t mean you don’t want people from other countries here but only if they enter through a port of entry not illegally. He wants everyone to be equal so he’s working on eliminating all jobs.

Biden did more to lock up Blacks and help pay for abortions of mostly Bk babies racial ‘equity’ is their new money maker….though as i understand it, it still leaves the middle class devastated while the elites get richer. don’t people know equity = communist dictatorship!!! It’s straight up Marxism they don’t even hide it anymore.
What scares me the most is not the fact the media constantly lies about it and has been censoring people. It’s the fact that most of you believe them and follow it like it’s a great thing.

The circle back has gone full circle jerk.
To keep you in the dark, just how they want you….I’m wondering if this is an issue with administration. I noticed Jen Psaki started to wear makeup to cover up for her dimwit. She reads the comments on Twitter. She cares what people think. She must feel tormented.
Maybe she’s being kept at a distance and not in the loop during discussions. These people are probably working in silos while Biden calls lids. She’s out front and taking the hit. She is so pitiful compared to Kayleigh McEnany.
It’s pretty embarrassing….Why watch????
Meteorologists at the mercy of Mother Nature don’t even have this much wiggle room……this administration feels it owes no one any answers to anything. The goal is not to tell us what they are really doing….she is not being called out on her unpreparedness. If you can’t convince me, confuse me! She’s looking really stupid. Not unexpected for this administration….She has no answers bc her bosses have no answers.
And that’s only the incompetence we’re able to see–I can only imagine what’s going on behind the scenes!

Obama/OBiden Dropped 26,171 bombs in 2016.

So I read Biden’s on path for full warmongering ~
during a pandemic and economic crisis. Is anyone shocked?
FOR ME, TUESDAY WILL ALWAYS BE “TRUMP TUESDAY” I WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT HIM, TODAY, TOMORROW & FOREVER. GOD BLESS DONALD J. TRUMP IN HIS EFFORTS TO SAVE AMERICA FROM THOSE OUT TO DESTROY LADY LIBERTY.
If anyone else in DC went to work as unprepared as Jen Psaki is for her press conferences they’d be fired on the spot. Nobody gets fired in the swamp. Incompetence is a highly valued trait in DC. What’s the point of these press conferences if she refuses to provide on-camera answers to so many questions?

Jen Psaki Accidentally ADMITS White House Plans To Work With Silicon Valley To BAN Trump & Republicans.

The divide over restaurant shutdowns, at its core, is economic. We were forced to shut down with no financial lifeline while parts of the economy got gratuitously wealthy – and billions of dollars that could have helped were squandered away under the watchful eye of the government. The politics of it is absolutely insane. the no TV rule for the now open patios is so ridiculous…..how do they take themselves seriously when they make rules like that?

This is what happens when you let the government dictate cash flow, not the market.
It was a leadership gamble, stop everything and hope for best or stay open and hope for best. Sadly for business and employees all the restrictions put them out of work and in the same pandemic as those who stayed open. They are evil geniuses! Trying to be sure that no one broadcasts from the enemies side! Too many people talk about the restaurant industry as being frivolous & not deemed worthy of reopening now.
The lack of acknowledgment that many thousands of workers & their families depend on their paychecks to survive, is appalling.If this were scientifically based, I would be all for it. But, these policies were not based on scientific evidence. A lot of this was politicians–with no understanding of viruses–floundering around, and some of it might have been a push for more power. Of course. The money went to the “correct” people rather than based upon need. Just as with who regulations apply to at the end of the day. Forcing so many small businesses & employees into poverty is not the answer. Closing businesses & no financial support is a lose lose situation!

Crony Capitalism by design. Close down industries that cannot lobby and promote those who have a large lobby and pay their dues to the ruling politicians. There have been so many bad policy decisions, and an absolutely crucial part of test-trace-isolate-support and quarantine is the support. Without that support, all such measures become extremely arduous.
Take away the fact that you’re a business owner for one money while I ask a genuine question please.

Do you feel indoor dining is selfish on the part of the customer?
That it’s endangering the staff? I don’t but I’m curious as to others opinions.
I think indoor dining should be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Different in every area and every space is different. I hate to paint with a broad brush. There is something funny going on. Big box stores, corporate franchises, and things labeled too big to fail were allowed to operate while Mom & Pop operations, small businesses were sacrificed. And now we have a guy trying to wipe out the last 4 years as if it didn’t happen.

I could not believe my eyes when they killed your businesses just to increase the chances of ICU beds being available for us without sharing our money with you or checking the need for beds or using HCQ. I was hoping for a massive class action but I guess they made it impossible. One purpose of the lockdown was to redistribute wealth.
Some wealth was shifted from small businesses forced to close down or reduce their hours/services and transferred to Big Box stores, Amazon, because that’s where most people are forced to shop. Oh, and China got rich(er). Stimulus dollars given to govt employees, that never missed a dime of compensation, should have been given. To businesses with less than 150 employees that had sales down > 30% YoY. Or Qtr. over Qtr. IMO. All those dollars went to mega corps and chains. While the core was hollowed….I’m beginning to think that the government spends money like a 12yo with a Visa gift card. That’s the system. Corruption is another side of self-interest & members of Congress act out of self-interest during negotiations (after all, they represent the constituents of their States, not the nation).

Because Presidents are not kings, they can’t pass narrow laws they want. Transferring wealth from the “upper” middle class (successful small business owners) to the upper class / 1% It goes beyond economics… it’s now a matter of good and evil. $25 Billion to airlines, who continue to pack us in like sardines, but they let family restaurants die. It’s disgraceful to me that our government would authorize our tax dollars to aid foreign countries when we can’t take care of our own citizens.
It’s disgraceful to me that our government would authorize our tax dollars to aid foreign countries when we can’t take care of our own citizens. But, is it enough to convince everyone in the restaurant business to never vote Democrat again? It’s not just restaurants. Most small business owners are in the same boat. Local martial arts businesses in our area are closed permanently. They couldn’t hold out any longer.
We know so many small businesses (many for 15+ years) that have lost or will be losing their businesses. Many couldn’t get loan $ because it was taken by larger businesses & those that did get $ didn’t get enough to cover the prolonged shut down. Welcome to the next 4 years of Biden admin & bunch stealing all our $$ like they stole the election!

I imagine the money Joe is sending overseas would have helped plenty of restaurants. It’s almost like an orchestrated attack on the middle class, and small business owners. The lifeblood of the American economy! If you have eyes to see, and ears to hear, it’s obviously the only way to take down Trump’s booming economy!
On top of the property damage caused by the Democrats BLM + Antifa terrorists. At least Gov Cuomo shoved all the Covid-19 patients into nursing homes so they wouldn’t die while enjoying a nice meal out with loved ones. I’m not trying to say healthcare isn’t important or anything but I have clients in the industry & they got a SHIT TON of $ for *existing* during the pandemic. As recently as a month ago they’re still getting relief $ that is BANANAS. Way more than PPP & these R grants unlike PPP.

In political science, the term banana republic describes a politically unstable country with an economy dependent upon the exportation of a limited-resource product, such as bananas or minerals. In 1904, the American author O. Henry coined the term to describe Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua  and neighboring countries under economic exploitation by U.S. corporations, such as the United Fruit Company. In the early 20th century, the United Fruit Company, a multinational American corporation, was instrumental in the creation of the banana republic phenomenon. Together with other American corporations, such as the Cuyamel Fruit Company, and with occasional support from the United States government.
The corporations created the political, economic, and social circumstances that established banana republics in Central American countries such as Honduras and Guatemala. Typically, a banana republic has a society of extremely stratified social classes, usually a large impoverished working class and a ruling class plutocracy, composed of the business, political, and military elites of that society. By the 1930s the United Fruit Company owned 1,400,000 hectares (3.5 million acres) of land in Central America and the Caribbean and was the single largest landowner in Guatemala. 
By the 1930s, the international political and economic tensions created by the United Fruit Company enabled the corporation to control 80–90% of the banana business in the U.S. Such holdings gave it great power over the governments of small countries, one of the factors confirming the suitability of the phrase “banana republic”. The ruling class controls the primary sector of the economy by way of the exploitation of labor; thus, the term banana republic is a pejorative descriptor for a servile Oligarchy that abets and supports, for kickbacks, the exploitation of large-scale plantation agriculture, especially banana cultivation. 
A banana republic is a country with an economy of state capitalism, whereby the country is operated as a private commercial enterprise for the exclusive profit of the ruling class. Such exploitation is enabled by collusion between the state and favored economic monopolies, in which the profit, derived from the private exploitation of public lands, is private property, While the debts incurred thereby are the financial responsibility of the public treasury. Such an imbalanced economy remains limited by the uneven economic development of town and country, and usually reduces the national currency into devalued banknotes (paper money), rendering the country ineligible for international development credit.
There are people out there who need you, so love yourself so you can love them too.

I’d rather be a freedom loving revolutionary than a gender confused rioter.
Rumble — An expert mathematician said the election results for Joe Biden at the precinct level are “impossible” and “cannot occur naturally.” One America’s Christina Bobb has more.   Mathematician: Election numbers don’t add up (rumble.com) 
I get tired of stating the obvious. I get tired of not having solutions to the election fraud issues. Our own government and all elites are against us. It is overwhelming and depressing. They achieved all their goals by locking us down and stealing our election. What’s left? America has been taken over. Governing is not rocket science. Exercising a little bit of commonsense and a drop of courage would help our legislators make better decisions.
When you honor your boundaries and value yourself everything around you changes shape. Anyone can fake “nice” and be agreeable. Emotional maturity, social intelligence and the ability to understand all sides focusing on removing barriers not building new ones, is what I pay attention to. Fuck your nice and conformity. Those who fake nice, are total assholes. Your focus on maturity and intelligence and removing barriers is what gives a person true value and those I welcome as well.

Don’t carry someone else’s bullshit into your tomorrow. Let them carry their own shit. That’s difficult when you care about them, they’re struggling and don’t realize what they’re doing. But I love this idea, don’t respond or react to others’ junk. There’s a fine line. Some do realize what they are doing and know that the caregivers will take care of it, will excuse, will still be there. We don’t allow them to do their own emotional labor because of our need to help and our need to be needed. That’s our insecurity. Sometimes our need to be needed (ego for me) is stronger. It is an insecurity, or worse.
Just because they make it sound mysterious does not make it art to hold onto! Leave the shit be where you found it. It certainly is. I’m much better but it took learning how to be comfortable in uncomfortable spaces. I am always uncomfortable so this gets hard. I do not even feel comfy in my own home. It sounds stupid but I don’t. I never have. Something from my childhood I am sure. But some things you just never learn to heal from.
I was in the Charter bus industry. It’s pretty much gone. Only the big boys are still around because they would only refinance with those who have a bunch of busses and no help at all from the government. Very sad how pathetic the US government has become. Why do we need 535 lawyers in Congress most who have never run a business. We need to reform the shit show in Washington DC.

10 Country Songs That Will Make You Proud to Be An American – One Country
Remember this: Tomorrow would not be the same without you!!! You make this world better by being in it!!

If anyone voted Democrat, this is on you! 
President Trump was the catalyst that brought out how vile the establishment is for everyone to see. I miss his takes and his ability to unsettle everyone and The euphoria of change. Will it last? He was the last guy that would stand there and take it, and still produce the best run we have had in a loooonng time. Our last chance to break the cabal…But I’m a much bigger fan of moving forward and the next chapter if we had Trump for four more years!
Trump gave people a sense of hope. Recently I heard that hope is kinda evil because people surrender personal responsibility to it. Also there were a lot of expectations for Trump. Expectations are also kinda evil. Now no one expects anything from Biden and r happier as a result. But in 2-3 years from now, we might be wishing for Trump’s come back to complete his mandate. I’m not being argumentative, but if I tell you in advance that God has made this promise to us, when it happens you can get excited knowing God had a plan, which will make you starve for that kind of comeback.

I think it’s important that we take the lessons learned forward and try to unravel this twisted up dialog based on dangerously patently false assumptions that have been applied far too broadly to anyone who values basic human rights.
If you’re only kinda glad he’s gone but you say you don’t miss him, then face it: you most definitely miss him because he’s a hell of a lot more interesting than the current subject. It’s like grabbing a bull by the horns vs trying to push a wet noodle. Everyone is entitled to their opinions even if they are filled with hate and no common sense..!!
You deserve everything you voted for and will regret it..!!
You will miss the drama and chaos that the media caused. Every. Single. Day. Something different. That was their goal to make everyone feel like he was the source of it and if he went away it would stop. I’m really surprised someone as intelligent as you fell for it. Trump was an anomaly and the corrupt establishment hated him. The media and the government made it hard on US citizens as punishment for us having voted for him. I miss his policy for the unborn and the middle class. I miss him.

He destroyed the Clintons and Bush family. Awesome achievement. Unfortunately, some think trickle down economics doesn’t work. Tax cuts for the rich is not a good idea when you are running on a populist theme. How you like Non-elect’s tax hikes, giving your hard earned income to migrants, and funding world wide abortions?
When manufacturing slowed down in 09 so did my business . First thing I did was fire my landscaper. Trickle down economics 101:
Same thing about to happen under this administration but this time it will be layoffs and terminations. How do you explain the best economy until the China virus, more peace deals completed even if they weren’t complete peace in Middle East, illegal immigration slowed, low gas prices for EVERYONE etc. etc. etc…

President Donald J. Trump’s accomplishment list archive. | MAGAPILL
President Trump produced record low unemployment. Salaries up. Peace in the middle east. Better trade deals… Tax cuts for the rich? You mean the corporate tax decrease? Percentage wise middle class got a bigger tax decrease but the total dollars was more for the highest earners as they pay the majority of taxes. Have you ever seen poor people hire? Go ahead and list where your philosophy works. You do know the top 1% pay over 70% of all taxes collected?

Median household income has now reached $65,976, an all-time high up more than 8 percent in 2019 under Trump. These numbers are PRE-TAX, do NOT include the impact of the tax cut. The avg. household has saved $1,400 a year on their federal taxes from the 2017 Trump tax cut. But it did work, your memory must be failing. Lots of businesses gave bonuses and actually raised wages. Including Walmart $12.75 @ hour (largest US employer).
Prior to unconstitutional COVID lockdowns, our economy was the best ever. Minorities, women and POC greatly benefited. Middle class wages were rising and the poverty rate was declining prior to COVID! Never quite got the “tax cuts for the rich” narrative. If the top 10% of workers by income pay 70% of the Fed taxes, then it stands to reason that they would derive the biggest benefit of any sweeping tax cut. The biggest tax cuts went to the middle class, not the rich. In fact some rich paid more. Don’t just believe the media, read the tax code.

Do you know how to read a tax bracket?
If so please explain how his tax cuts were “for the rich”?
People that say “trickle down” economics weren’t working are bedwetters up until driving age. It creates jobs and when it’s not sabotaged, it works beautifully. It worked for Reagan and it worked for Trump. I know you think you’re smart and all, the Trump tax cuts helped the bottom 25% the most. He had the best economy ever. If you don’t believe Trump’s Trumped Up Trickle Down Didn’t Work. Why don’t you actually get educated on the tax cuts and who they helped before tweeting nonsense. So all the jobs created.
Trump also had the Lowest unemployment recorded for all minorities. Largest pay increase of 6% for the bottom 20%. You might want to check the pre C.C.P. virus historically low, across the board, unemployment rates. If you didn’t get a tax cut then you make too much money to receive it. I received a tax cut. I’m right in the middle of the middle class. Ask your tax preparer about it. They’ll tell you. Don’t listen to the idiots in MSM who parrot this bs.
In The Trump Years: Most of us got tax cuts.

Our economy is where it is because Trump changed the tax code from worldwide taxation to territorial tax system. It changed the whole ballgame encouraging manufacturing & businesses to stay or move back into the USA. We had the highest wage growth in our lifetime, lowest unemployment in our lifetime, highest 401k growth ever aka retirement accounts, I’d say his economic policies were the best in U.S. history, possibly the history of the world before the Chynah virus came ashore.
It’s all part of the Global Reset. Scorched Earth policy. Drain the economy to the point they’ll step in. The Elites only want to depopulate us. It’s been part of the agenda for decades. Notice why Bill Gates is buying so much land. Land has value, our dollar will be worthless. Part of the plan. Destroy the country. Make the USA a third world country. Easily controlled. One world controlled by the left. People live and die at the left’s desire. After enough are dead, the rest are easily controlled. New World Order & Project 2030.
Joe Biden is destroying America so that the CCP can take it over. Not much hope for any Americans surviving the next year. Covid-19 was only the beginning. I hear worse to come… He is a front for the neo Marxists. Their green deal, identity politics and race baiting is to divide Citizens and weaken the nation. Stalinism and Cultural revolution are good socialist playbooks that the Demoncrats are following. Isn’t it awesome that all the stuff we learned from President Trump is now coming out in the open. Best part is they can’t blame him now that we are seeing the truth! It is trickling out and he isn’t in office so now who do they blame for us discovering their lies and treachery?
