On Memorial Day 1982, the threat of nuclear holocaust was not some distant movie plot.
Millions of Americans went to bed at night wondering whether the world they knew would still exist the next morning as tensions with Russia grew.
But Ronald Reagan told Americans: Do not surrender to fear as he laid out what previous generations sacrificed for us.
Looking back, Ronald Reagan’s Memorial Day speech was not merely a tribute to the dead.
It was a warning to the living: (thread)
I doubt that the old rich decision makers of the late 1970s decided to gift today’s boomer with this wealth. The narrative that boomers are hogging all the wealth ignores the simple fact that boomers have had a lifetime to accumulate wealth. As always happens, later generations will be claiming that wealth as time rolls on.
The higher interest rates in the early 1980s was to combat the high inflation from the 1970s. Those high rates drove home prices down but also caused a recession. Eventually, interest rates could be lowered.

CALIFORNIA CORRUPTION EXPLODES — MILLIONS IN DONATIONS “MIXED IN” WITH CASH GOING TO FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND POLITICAL INSIDERS
Pay attention to the massive scandal engulfing Gavin Newsom’s circle and California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta — and it’s even worse than anyone thought.
Here’s what’s blowing up:
Millions in donations funneled through “friends & supporters” of the Bonta family
Rob Bonta — handpicked by Newsom — is now under fire as investigators uncover multi-million-dollar contributions getting “mixed in” with money flowing to allies, relatives, and political beneficiaries of the AG and his wife, Assemblywoman Mia Bonta.
$500,000 of Bonta’s campaign funds spent on LEGAL DEFENSE
Yes — half a million dollars burned on lawyers tied to an FBI investigation.
And Bonta claims he’s the victim.
Newsom’s chief of staff caught in her own luxury grift
According to the report, she allegedly:
-skimmed money from AG campaign accounts
-wrote off Chanel bags
-wrote off luxury yacht rentals
-interfered in ballot measures
-orchestrated hush-hush NDAs around backroom deals
-played a central role in the “Paneragate” exemption scandal to benefit Newsom’s friends
This is not a one-off scandal — it’s a pattern.
“Absolute power corrupts absolutely”
California lawmakers say the quiet part out loud:
With Democrats holding total control, the corruption machine became brazen, sloppy, and arrogant.
The result?
A Mary Poppins bag of scandals:
the more investigators dig, the more keeps falling out — bribery, exemptions, insider deals, NDAs, luxury expenses, cash skimming, and political favors traded behind closed doors.
And now federal investigators are circling
Even more shocking:
Some of these federal probes actually began under the Biden administration — meaning the stench was too strong for even Democrats in D.C. to ignore.
California’s political cartel is unraveling.
The monopoly is cracking.
And the corruption that Newsom spent years insulating is finally blowing wide open.
BLAST THIS OUT GET THE PUBLIC TO PAY ATTENTION
Newsom is a globalist. The globalist playbook is to destroy the middle class. Poor people are easier to control. Once the middle class is gone, they bring in the new world order. State by state, they will continue to destroy until they are stopped. Sad to see this in America.
Geologist, Professor Ian Plimer, utterly demolishes the #ClimateScam, in three and a half minutes:
"[Six of the six] great ice ages started when we had more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than now. We have 0.04% of that gas in the atmosphere... Well that means nothing to me, because the atmosphere has changed in its carbon dioxide content from over 20% to now, which is really low in geological time. If we halved it, all plant life would die, and animals would die."

Being meaning to write this for 6 months, but the Canadian response to the trucker protests is illustrating this so vividly, that today is the day.
