Inverse Cramer leaves S&P, Nasdaq, and Dow in the dust

From March 21, 2024, to March 21, 2025, the Inverse Cramer strategy netted a 31.8% return, outpacing the S&P 500, Nasdaq composite, and DJIA.

Jim Cramer just weighed in on silver. The inverse-Cramer is in effect. Lol!

Both agents involved in the shootings were multi-year agents and fully trained.

Opening the borders had nothing to do with helping third world people. In reality, it was all about future votes and padding US Census numbers to skew the congressional seats that are assigned to states. Wake up!

Protesting is fine until lines are crossed, such as impeding ICE or touching an officer, at which point the law is broken.

Minnesota has been a Democrat stronghold since forever. They don't need to import a bunch of dog-eating aliens who can't vote to hang onto something that's not threatened.

Did you read this part of Scott's post.

CA for example has millions of illegals, as a result has more Congressional seats than it would have if only legal residents and citizens were counted in the census.

The 1930's decade following the NAZI assumption of power was not this country's finest hour as we refused entry and denied applications of thousands of German Jews attempting to flee the country. The most notorious incident was of course the MS St. Louis carrying 937 men, women, and children Jewish refugees fleeing Germany in 1939. Denied permission to disembark in the US, Cuba, and Canada, the ship returned to Europe where 254 of the passengers were killed over the next six-years in the Holocaust.

Not only the US, unfortunately !

Other countries did allow a limited number of jews to immigrate, but only those with higher education or the wealthy, but the Nazis would not let them take any valuables.

Sad to say, but true, the nazis wanted to get rid of the jews, but the rest of the world would not accept them.

As @Tanks and I mentioned, it’s about allocating congressional seats. Why do you think that democrats are now fully in favor of illegal immigration when before, both Biden and Obama were totally against it? It has become their current playbook to flood the country for the census and they are all onboard now. We are in a battle for our civilization and your supporting the loss of it if you stand with them.

Hitler also wanted the wealth of the Jews to finance his war machine. Probably almost as large a priority in his actions.

I did not realized that the allocation of seats in congress was calculated by the number of residents in the census. Perhaps it would be a good idea for the republicans to use their current trifecta to correct this through legislation.

Something like making it so that only documented US citizens could be counted in census if it is to be used as a basis for allocation of seats in congress?

Not easy to accomplish, when the Democrats have their pet leftwing federal judges who will always try to block those maneuvers.

It's about the 14th Amendment. Progressives from both parties have proposed legislation to correct this but it is doubtful it would stand up to appeal even if passed. The 14th is what it is. Of course that was about making sure freed slaves could not be excluded from Congressional seat redistricting. Different context than today's situation.

So, it would take an Amendment to amend an Amendment. Should be doable but getting ANY amendment passed through 3/4 of the states has historically been very difficult. I would also like to see an amendment stripping presidents of pardons. Or at least modifying that power so pardons have to be approved by Congress. Two thirds sounds about right. Presidential pardons are a national embarrassment. Very Dark Ages stuff. Odd that the founding fathers who hated king and star chamber shit would throw presidential pardons into the Constitution. Fixing it is way overdue. I cannot imagine any of the states would not ratify such an amendment. Problem is getting politicians to write it up knowing that pardons couldn't be used by them down the road to get out of jail.

It would take more than a trifecta. I think it would require a constitutional amendment.

Wrong again
Congress does its arm twisting to keep illegals on the role call , because they have overwhelmed the inter structure of highway, public services, healthcare, housing/ hud
And other services, congress controls the purse strings and will not fund anything until we conform to their policies and today democrats announced the are going to do another government shutdown unless they get their way with deportation,
So no air traffic control, armed forces, DOT, NPS payroll again!
It’s sad that everyone in harms way has to be on food stamps and public assistance to pay their bills!
You said you hated serving your country in the military and couldn’t wait to get out,
Then you said you love using VA benefits @ the Minneapolis VA Hospital.
Your a vortex of inconsistency and liberal hypocrisy.

I never said any such thing! I was smart enough to realize early on a military career was not for me. That doesn't mean I hated my time in service. Finished my tour and went home. Just because I didn't reenlist doesn't mean I hated the military. It made me what I am today. Thanks to my education, paid for by veterans benefits, I ultimately met my lovely late Canadian wife. If the Army hadn't got me, I probably would have stayed at the plant till it closed ... or I became a hopeless drunk ... or a cripple. Both were common eventualities at that place.

You Trumplodites are great at taking things out of context to create your own reality. Or you just lie. That's easier. Pfft!

Certainly not a ringing endorsement of the military, if they made you into what you are today.
I certainly hope nobody else suffered the same fate.

You are being too generous

 

[farmer_john]

I see. So a "fully trained" officer would shoot a disarmed man laying on the ground incapacitated from pepper spray ... eleven times? Where did the officer get that kind of training?! The officers clearly initiated the offensive behavior.The VA nurse attempted to offer assistance to two ladies who were pepper sprayed. He attempts to video the officer. Officer sprays the VA nurse with pepper spray. Then he's gang tackled. One of the goons hits him when he's down several times with what appears to be a can of pepper spray. Then the nurse's weapon is discovered, he is disarmed, then shot ... at least seven more times after he'd stopped moving. It was a frenzied mass assault. A fully trained officer reaches inside the car of a fleeing school mom and shoots her three more times after she fails to stop. Her car was barely moving. Clearly she's trying to leave SLOWLY, not turning her car into a weapon. Again, where did these thugs get that kind of training? Cracker Jacks police academy?

Thats not what the videos show. Regardless of the lart shere hes wrestling and ehat haooened in the fray. The lead up wasnt him just helping some lady.

 

[JimP]

I love it when everyone has had a few days and a dozen different videos to go through frame by frame to make a decision.

How are you at making a life or death decision in a matter of one to three seconds where the wrong one could get you killed?

Perhaps you can be like this woman who made a decision to pick up a flash bang grenade to throw back at the ICE officers.

I have no idea if this video will play for any of you, it's off of FB

Perhaps this enlightenment on your part helps you understand what is happening and what’s at stake now? It’s not a racism issue. It’s a fairness issue. This is all about political power.

Trying to get a change to the US Census would be about impossible right now given that it would take 60 votes in the Senate. All we can do now is to enforce the current immigration laws.
