Before we get to the main event, let us consider some random thoughts.
FYI
If you haven’t been counting, as you read this Kamala has been the un-elected nominee for 101 days. She has yet to hold a press conference with REAL questions and follow-ups. YOU have no idea who she is. She hasn’t answered a single question asked of her that was an original thought of her own. ALL answers have been canned excerpts from her stump speech.
I realize some of you are gullible enough to vote for her anyway. I hope the majority of the voting public isn’t that stupid.
Election Day with The Jordan/Cori Show
Ron and I plan to do a live feed on Rumble on election night. Mark your calendars and keep an eye out for the reminders and notifications. This should be fun. I will see if we can activate live comments.
Your Retirement
If you have money in long term savings, whether it’s a IRA or 401K, or even if you have a self-directed investment account for day trading, you CANNOT let Kamala (puppet of B. Hussein, peace be upon him) occupy the White House. There are 14 or more long-held positions Harris has touted over the years. When Obama appointed her to be the “nominee” this year, she ham-handedly announced that all those positions had been reversed.
Trust me, they are still her base line positions. If she were to assume office she would immediately announce that this issue and that situation ‘Is worse than we thought, OMG!” She will then tee up every stupid idea she recently claimed she abandoned.
The most egregious of these is the taxation of “unrealized gains”. This is the value your investment accounts have accrued, but wisely, you have not withdrawn. You want that money to continue to grow. That is the very idea behind an investment account.
The idea of raiding the investment accounts of citizens has been floated a number of times. The first time I heard of it was perhaps 2011 or 12. Nancy Pelosi called for a one-time tax on the value of all retirement accounts - “just 15%”, that’s all.1
Occasionally some other jackass would talk about taxing value or “unrealized gains” of investment accounts. Each time, a few more media fluffers and dingbat politicians stroke their chins and say, “Hmmmm, this could work.”
Why it is immoral: The reason IRAs and 401Ks were established was to give citizens a place to put their retirement savings that was completely walled off and relatively safe. There are also accounts to save for college that work in similar fashion, and were established with the same protection in mind.
In standard accounts the money is pre-tax money. That’s the incentive to squirrel away the money.
But I always knew that with all that money moving through the economy, the government would eventually set its sites on skimming some for itself. This is made extra stupid in that the money was pre-tax because Uncle Stinky wanted us to invest and now they want to tax the money INSIDE the accounts.
By agreement, you cannot touch any of the money prematurely without a substantial penalty imposed on you, because until you withdrawal it, it is technically NOT YOUR MONEY. But the members of the permanent governing class are pushing to take it themselves.
Also, understand this: the raid on your retirement accounts is not reserved for people making over $400k per year. None of the programs really are, but they claim your income tax won’t go up if you make less than 400k.2 So no matter your income, as demonstrated in this exchange, you will get money taken from your retirement account under the Cackles/Tampon Tim administration.
Why it is criminal: As I said, if you are an intelligent adult, you took advantage of these programs and have diligently saved as much as you can afford. You are among the 54.4% of Americans that do. Put another way, you are likely a Maker in this economy, as opposed to a Taker.
When Commu-la gets her meat hooks on your hard-won retirement money, it will be an extra punch in the face for Makers so Uncle Stinky can give more shit to the Takers.
Not only that, regardless of the amount they take, the impact can and often will be disproportionate - even devastating.
Scenario: Your IRA has had a nice year. Now it’s time for Commu-la to get her greasy meat hooks into it. She steals her chunk. But a week later we have a major correction. Without outside meddling, your account will take a long time to recover what was lost because the correction leaves you with a smaller base line to pay interest into. When the government spikes the account, that baseline is left even smaller.
If your account is small, and hasn’t had time time to really grow and you have a good year, a tax followed by a correction can leave you much further behind than the day you opened your account.
And oh, by the way, if you’ll ding me for growing my savings, will you make me whole when my savings fall? If not, then keep your goddamn hands off my fucking retirement, you thieving bastards.
If for no other reason other than the one above, don’t vote for a single Democrat this year. Stupid, counterproductive ideas like this one are far too popular among the Lefty elites. They cannot be allowed to hold the power in DC. Vote straight Republican. If you have Conservative or Libertarian Party candidates on the ballot in your state this year, vote for them.

Rand Paul for Senate Majority Leader!
The heading represents almost this entire segment. Start pinging your Senator’s email account on this today and every day. Dump McConnell. I’d match one RP against the next 10 smartest GOP Senators. And he’s got real testicular fortitude.
Kristol Krap 2
Enough chit chat. Let’s give Willie another proper spanking.
I mentioned in my previous piece that Bill Kristol got away with people thinking he was a conservative, or at least a neo-con for years. He backed Reagan, and both Bushes in their military adventures. He spoke eloquently of free-market principles and Supply Side Economics.
So it was, for a while mystifying, that he would suddenly become such an anti-Trump harpy, that he would decry actual conservative principles and back deplorable wretches like KH in the age of Trump.
I did acknowledge that Kristol is an established, Ivy-league snob. In an age of boundless elitism among the “academic” crowd,3 we see people who tout themselves as “intelligent” responding to polls which call for greater controls over the less educated (Associates degree, trade skills, HS diploma, GED or dropout; it’s all the same to the snobs), including increased censorship. As of this writing, I am searching for that survey. I will post it when I find it.
So it has become increasingly important that the upper crust not risk being around Coors drinkers or smell the sweat of real work.
But we always knew Bill was a snooty snot. But there is a greater disconnect here. He didn’t just go quiet, or argue minutiae with his Republican counterparts. He went all girly hateful on Trump, leaving himself to sputter inanities4 on X - ALL DAY, EVERY DAY! It is as if he suddenly had a bone missing in his head that once kept him grounded.
Then I watched a 2020 interview and others like this one at the Atlantic, where Kristol wildly skews conservatism (the personal, governing, philosophical position) and so-called “conservatives” in politics. In these interviews his TDS is on full display. He speaks of conservatives who reject Trump and says the others only call you conservative if you are blindly loyal to Trump. He is the embodiment of a general lack of understanding of the conservative label and American politics in 2024.
While a conservative may inject his philosophy into politics, being conservative is not political. The term is at once far more personal to a “conservative” and far more wide ranging in his dealings with the rest of the world. Politics is just one area affected by the philosophy.
In conversation it is clear that Bill thinks conservatism is primarily a political hill to defend as opposed to a school of thought to draw upon.
Also, and here’s the big rub, Bill thinks he’s a conservative. Bill hates Trump because Trump is brash and unwashed, unrefined, not Ivy-league. God knows, DJT is not erudite. So who the hell is he to come in and harsh Bill’s mellow. So, Bill has drawn a line that says if you support Trump, you are not a true conservative. If you’re in with the WING OF TRUMP’S POLITICAL PARTY who rejects Trump, then you are a conservative.
This is absurd. There is no line that can be drawn between conservatism and the rejection of Trump. And there is no wall that philosophically prevents a REAL conservative from supporting Trump. And among the rabid anti-Trumpers in the GOP there are precious few, if any, actual free market, personal liberty conservatives.
Bill is a particularly bitter embodiment of a larger problem - the use of the term so loosely in politics. Trump is not a conservative. And conservatives, for obvious and historical reasons can support him and lose not shred of credibility as conservatives. The two are not mutually exclusive. And it would be harmless if THINKING people simply acknowledged that reality.
But people like Bill are flailing on social media and other platforms in a way that will damage both the GOP AND the concept of conservatism, but for different reasons.
Personally, I wish he’d shut the fuck up until he gets back in touch with his level-headed self. But I think he is enjoying life in the rarefied air of the media elites and cool parties to ever do so.
So while he says stupid things, claiming to represent conservatism, I will counter what are actually obvious, and much more shallow political positions.
Enjoy.
Continuing from 8 Oct. on X
That’s right. There are three more from that day, and I didn’t get them all. I’ll just do one or two today.
"We see the cult of the leader and the strong man, the embrace of cruelty and bigotry, the demagoguery and the conspiracism, the weaponization of nostalgia for an imagined and exclusionary past, the eager embrace of lies and propaganda."
Cult? Really Bill? And you say nothing of the lock-step, lemming-like, obedience of the Left and their REAL cult leader BHO? There is no group on this planet, with the obvious exception of Scientology, where you go along or you get punished, as that of the Dem party. Not even the most enthusiastic Trump rally has such uniformity of thought. Primarily that is because attendees of Trump rallies are individualists who see their personal liberty as more respected in DJT than in any Dem option. But they don’t all think alike. Far Leftie Dems are required to think alike.
If JFK were alive today, with the philosophical basis he worked from in the 60’s, he’d be standing next to his nephew at Trump Rallies.
And cult of the leader? Is that intended to be scarier than just CULT LEADER? If not, it implies that Trump lives in a cult of one - his own and has no following. But no matter.
There is nothing about his position vis a vis his supporters any more sinister than any of the most benign politician/supporter relationship. He spouts his positions (poorly, tangentially and in self-congratulatory terms) and the folks cheer what they want to hear. Did he EVER hold any event so distasteful as Joe Biden’s Reichstag stunt in front of Independence Hall? Until you call that out, you’re pissing up a rope criticizing Trump.
Trump has demonstrated real leadership in many areas throughout his life. He has also played face-man, entertaining big MARKS while his people were in a boiler room with the MARK’S people hammering out deals. That’s an example of the chief executive trusting his people and following their guidance. Also a mark of a smart leader. So, thanks for the acknowledgement, Bill.
What bigotry, Bill? What cruelty? Are you talking about not wanting dudes in dresses in positions of leadership in our military? Because that is only bigotry or cruelty if you think the bending of gender is a valid and significant political movement that must be carried forth. It’s also important that these things are purged from the uniformed services. Trump, like all adults recognizes that normal healthy kids have no desire to take orders from a dude in a dress. This is especially true in life or death situations. So if that is cruel or bigoted, you have to look more than half the country in the eye and say that. Dude, that’s worse than “basket of deplorables”!
Is it his insistence on a secure border and an intention to deport as many illegals as possible? Because we need the border and he should do mass deportation. In doing so he will be the only politicians actually FOLLOWING THE LAW as it pertains to illegals. And no, Willie, they are not legitimate asylum seekers. That’s pure bullshit to get them crammed in here.
Does the deportation and rejection of illegals mean he is bigoted? If so, would you be kind enough to list the races he is bigoted toward? And if he just sends them all home, and doesn’t send them to prison for breaking our laws, well, that’s really nice. No prison AND a ride home.
And what of this demagoguery guff? Tell me how this sets Trump aside from ALL other leading politicians of the day. I listened to Moochell “Mah Belle” Obama this week. While she was infinitely more polished than the Donald in her delivery, I cannot recall a speech with more demagoguery. And since the term doesn’t necessarily connote untruthfulness or hate, I have to add that those qualities were on equal display. It was a well-written, well-delivered, misleading piece shit…and demagoguery.
As I write this I am wondering if you have cut loose of your once analytical mind and replaced it with a Dem talking point machine to soothe the hurt of seeing such an unrefined wretch succeeding among some of your old friends.
Then there is “conspiracism”. Is that a word? Funny thing about conspiracy talk and the Right, especially Trump. So much of it turns out to be true. But I know you’re talking about the 2020 election. Sadly, we will never know if Trump was right or wrong about that. Every single opportunity to hash out elections results in court were thrown out on technicalities. Almost all for a “lack of standing”. No shit, that’s what almost every court said about 90% of the cases. Who the hell doesn’t have standing challenging election results in their own state! But NONE of the cases were ever aired out in open court. So, Bill, if that is what you are talking about, it is an unfounded opinion.
Is the conspiracism seen in Trump’s (and my) reaction to the constant charges being brought since he announced his candidacy in 2015? Trump holds, and most agree, the charges are ALL a part of the weaponization of our legal system to eliminate a political opponent of the permanent ruling class for which you weep, daily on X.
And speaking of weaponization, you speak of the “weaponization of nostalgia”. You were groping for a point to make again, weren’t you? I have seen some flowery phrases which when considered for just a second make no sense. But I’ll throw you a bone. You were using the silly phrase to justify the next one, or vice versa.
To wit:
“imagined and exclusionary past”
First, let me congratulate you on your ability to read minds. What is imaginary that you can state so confidently. Because when Trump talks about MAGA I can only guess at what he means. We both believe he is talking about Reaganism and the economic success of the day. He is likely talking about the 80’s through 2008 when nobody of the least consequence gave a shit about the color of your skin. During those wonderful days people like Al Sharpton were punchlines. Now he hosts a TV show, poorly.
Basically we’re talking about how great America was before Obama. As a bonus, Trump has stated clearly he doesn’t want the mindless, endless wars of the day. So we’re talking about a net gain across the board.
But what was the exclusionary part? Are you talking about how blacks and all Democrat subgroups were cut out of the flourishing economy under Trump? No…wait…that’s not right. Every single demographic benefited from Trump’s presidency. Hmmm. That’s a stumper.
Oh well, Bill, if you ever have the sack to respond to any of this, perhaps you can explain to me and the P4B gang what you mean by those last two points. Because as they stand, they seem to be pure nonsense. But then so is almost every word you utter on X….so there’s that anyway.

Have you ever noticed, when Uncle Stinky is going to lay into you for money, the amount in question is always preceded by the word “just”.
There is so much intentional confusion being sewn by the Left. They claim no tax increases for people making less than 400k/year. But they have promised to kill the Trumps tax cuts. When they do that, every swinging dick will get slammed by the single largest tax increase in American history as a percentage of income. The “explanation” at that time will be, “We haven’t really RAISED taxes, we just brought them back to where they were supposed to be before the Trump tax cut.
Don’t confuse the title with having real self-awareness, innate intelligence or simple common sense. The “academic” elite is rife with persons who couldn’t find their own ass with both hands and a set of instructions. They may, or may not, be versed in the field they claim to represent. But that doesn’t qualify them to lecture you about life. Few in the class ever experienced life in any real way.
Though the inanities sound high-minded, few have any real redeeming qualities.
