O.K folks, we have three months until the collapse of these United States financial system, in September, along with the rest of the World's.


Needless to say, after the collapse, the system will recover to close to record highs, within five months.

About seven weeks later, the financial system will again collapse in a free fall with the stock market returning to normal valuations, about 50% of what it is today, in ten years.

The question is, ... Do you believe me?

Things You Might Want to Think About

Afghanistan
Folks, just to remind you, Soldiers. Airmen, Guardians, Marines, and Sailors are still dying in far away places.

So, ...

We need to make sure they are deployed for the right cause.

Finally
It took them long enough.

Gasoline
Wow, ... I wonder how that's going to turn out?

History
Several countries are at war. The so-called terrorists are destroying ancient temples, statues, and other religious items, including books, during the chaos in some of these countries.

Next, a very religious family decides to purchase some of these items, to possibly protect them, for a museum.

Needles to say, our country isn't gripped in a sectarian war, so this family still has to follow the law.

"If"
Just in case, you ever decide to screw with these United States' Marine Corps.

Man
Guys, admit it. We can do one thing really well, two things pretty good, and three things, half-assed.

Needless to say, one of these things is usually a job or career. The second thing is a spouse, and the third thing is usually a family.

Well, ...

What happens, "If" you can't have a career?

P.S.
This goes for you too, ladies.

North Korea
There are various types of missiles. There are the S.R.B.M. (Short Range Ballistic Missile) with a range of about 1,000 km (620 miles). Next is the M.R.B.M (Medium Range Ballistic Missile) with a range of 1,000 to 3,000 km (620 to 1860 miles) There are the I.R.B.M (Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile) with a range of 3,000 to 5,500 km (1,864–3,418 miles)

Then, ...

There is the I.C.B.M. (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile) with a range of over 5,000 km or 3,400 miles.

Needless to say, North Korea doesn't have an I.C.B.M., yet.

Supervolcano

The Yellowstone Supervolcano looks like it's getting ready to blow, ... In a few thousand years.

Or, ...

Tomorrow.

Violence
Did you notice?

She "... didn't want to cause a scene, remembering recent United incidents such as the Kentucky doctor, ..."

Wages
Seems to me, the state government, in Jefferson City, overstepped their bounds.

Because, ...

No one was harmed. No rights were infringed, and ...

Until they passed a law, it was legal.


Overheard

"House Dem IT Suspects Wanted Untraceable Payments - And Sure Enough, Millions Disappeared"

"Let me note the Social Justice Warrior's primary justification for censorship, intimidation, mob tactics, and physical attacks: they were made to "feel unsafe," so any retaliation-before-the-fact -- let's call it "pretaliation," or even "pretribution" -- is justified."

"The fragmentation of the political parties is not temporary - - it is permanent"

"The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive. Do we have the confidence in our values to defend them at any cost? Do we have enough respect for our citizens to protect our borders? Do we have the desire and the courage to preserve our civilisation in the face of those who would subvert and destroy it? "

"They really are destroying themselves. I never thought I'd see this day. I really didn't."

"I hope, that when we stand up to those who oppress our communities, that Allah accepts from us that as a form of jihad, that we are struggling against tyrants and rulers not only abroad in the Middle East or the other side of the world, but here in these United States of America where you have fascists and white supremacists and Islamophobes reining in the White House,"

"The United States and its news media look like they want this country to commit suicide by stupidity."
