“Big Beautiful” 4th of July

Introduction by Dee McLachlan

I think the Trump-rocket-factor has forever changed politics.

Politicians are essentially expert liars and spin-artists. Then Trump, seen as an outsider of the bureaucratic political class, arrived on the scene and just said what he thought (and his views have not really changed over the decades).

When he appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 1988 his ideas received applause by Oprah and her audience. In 1999 there was even talk about Oprah running as a possible VP to a potential Trump ticket. Wow. Then Oprah got infected by the Psyop — the spreading of a DJT virus, now called DTS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). (We’ll run a series on Binary Cognitive Locking, Trauma and the Binary Mind at some point.) 

 

Two Coordinated Psyops

Apart from the law-fare and assassinations, there was surely an orchestrated ‘hate-orange-man‘ Psyop by the “establishment” to try keep Trump out of political equation. And this Psyop has divided America, sending a large portion of the US population into a state of despair and depression.

There is an insurrection of self-loathing. All across America, citizens are burning the American flag, with many illegal immigrants spewing hate on the country that have “fled” to. They want to live, not in a Republic but, in a “Colony of chaos” (i.e., open borders; a diverse divided secular society, with limited laws).

Two decades ago, national pride was almost universal, with around 90% of US citizens expressing pride in being American. Now, with a Soros-funded self-detestation Psyop, the nation is divided and… “national pride polling at an all-time low.” A recent Gallup poll revealed the divide along party lines, “with only 36% of Democrats feeling ‘extremely or very proud’ to be American, compared to 92% of Republicans.”

4th of July 2025

But Trump seems to keep winning.

He managed to get his Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) through and signed it on the 4th of July — on the 249th Anniversary of the Adoption of the Declaration of Independence (July 4, 1776) enshrined when 56 patriots gathered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I have to admire how a now 79-year-old man can sustain such passion, commitment and energy to maintain a most grueling and relentless schedule. While Patient-Biden was occasionally “paraded” before a controlled press, President Trump’s constant appearances with countless leaders of countries and business, endlessly answering questions from the press, and the high-speed implementation of his promises has set a very high bar for any future Presidents.

Side thought: RFK on the President

 

And maybe Trump is spot on… that the US is now “hot” and will be like a “rocket ship”. But as conservatives celebrate the tax cuts, no tax on tips and overtime, no death tax for farmers, etc etc, the extreme left are getting ready to vote for new New York mayor. It seems many people on the coasts would prefer to abandon the Constitution and live under a communist-AOC-style regime.

Escape From New York

Do you remember the 1981 sci-fi action film directed by John Carpenter, Escape from New York? The film, starring Kurt Russell, was set in a dystopian future where Manhattan had been turned into a maximum-security prison. The plot follows Russell’s character as he is sent into the city to rescue the U.S. President after his plane crashes there. 

 

 

Well it seems that a version of this might unfold over the next few years if New Yorkers decide to elect their rising communist star. Fantasy might eventually be a reality.

But back to Trump.

The Chainsaw Factor

“Elon Musk announces launch of ‘The America Party’ in latest snub to former pal President.”

After pilot-testing the name of his party with a poll on X, Musk declared he has now formed The America Party.

Elon could never be on a political Party team — and become a team player. He can only function if he’s the CEO of that party. He can surely fund the new American Party — but he can only be a bystander.

This has the potential to cause a huge MAGA disruption and the Dems are obviously silently cheering him on. Is this all about spending and the BBB? It seems so, but I think there’s more to this spat between the richest man in the world and the most powerful man in the world.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. If the Elon party takes a 10 to 12% slice of the cake, both parties will be beholden to him to move their agendas forward. Then Elon becomes a default dictator — a puppet master of sorts. And if his plan backfires, he could very well disrupt his own businesses.

Personally, I think Elon’s spat about the BBB is a sidebar. He argues the Bill’s spending would increase the “already gigantic budget deficit” and “burden America citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt”.

It’s a bit rich coming from Elon — who has received billions from government subsidies, grants, loans and spending.

If you or I had a couple of billion it would be so easy to say… “Nope, we need taxes on tips, no infrastructure spending, increase taxes so we can pay off the Fed’s imposed debt. People will have it hard over the next decade, but, I’ll be okay Jack.”

Is there any other gripe Elon?

The Fed

Maybe he should focus on the Federal Reserve — and money creation (and not on his old bro).  “Does the Fed Create New Money? Yes…” Yes, money is loaned into creation. Is the Fed the PP — the principal problem?
