Reverse Pyramid Scheme: Average Annual State Budget Is 37% Federal Money
An alleged bulwark against the fifty states overspending like the federal government? Has been the old saw: “The states can’t print money.”

Democrats have found the new Golden Goose for the elections. Affordability. If they win, I would not hold my breath for prices to drop.
You don’t need a PhD in economics to know when the herd is about to stampede. All you need is a functioning pair of eyeballs, a basic memory of 2008, and maybe a little common sense — which in modern America qualifies as a superpower.
The US owes $38+ trillion. Stop right there. That amount of money is insurmountable – and un-payback-able.
The US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2024 was $29.2 trillion. So the debt is 130+% of that. That alone is enough information to write off the US.
Zohran Mamdani’s election was not a fluke; it was a plea for profound change, funded by CAIR and George Soros, et al. The plea was not for a return to law and order, but for politicians to listen to the people.
Twenty-four years after 9/11, New York City elected a 34-year-old whose biography reads like a Marxist coming-of-age novel with a Brooklyn rewrite. Zohran Mamdani, Muslim, activist, and self-described democrat-socialist, will become mayor January 1, 2026
Many in the press have enjoyed taking pot shots at President Donald Trump for his recent recommendation that the banking community make 50 year mortgages available to prospective homeowners.
It’s happening. President Trump’s tariffs are taking hold and the attitude of Be American, Buy American is returning.
We used to believe the housing market ran on freedom, work, and responsibility — the idea that if you saved and worked hard, you’d earn the keys to your own home. That myth still sells well, but the current cycle is revealing something darker: a culture conditioned to dependency.
We’ve built an empire around something that doesn’t actually exist — not in any tangible, survivable sense. Our currency, the almighty dollar, is a human invention with no intrinsic value, no caloric energy, no sheltering power. You can’t eat it, you can’t heat your home with it, and it doesn’t grow in the soil — yet people live and die by it.
The long federal shutdown was broken without Republican compromise. Longtime Washington watchers, accustomed to Republicans caving early from fear that the Democrats would win the PR game, were pleasantly surprised to see that the GOP didn’t give in on anything serious this time.
Zohran Mamdani, the illegal alien soon to assume the mayoralty of New York City, shocked many with his declaration that “We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve, and no problem too small for government to care about.”
Lex McMenamin (they/them) describes himself¹ in his Bluesky biography as: permanent Philadelphian in NYC, opinions mine WAS politics @teenvogue.com member @transjournalists.org @leximcmenamin elsewhere linktr.ee/leximcmenamin As you can see, Mr McMenamin, who puts plural pronouns in his signature line on Bluesky, is going to be a flaming liberal, as the list of his online articles shows. …
The Democrat shut down of the Federal Government holds back federal funds to help feed one in eight Americans. Almost 42m Americans get food assistance? No. 42m PERSONS living in America get food assistance.
In Oregon, the number of timber harvested on federal lands were reduced by 90% from 1989 to 2011 due to Democrat policies. The decline in the lumber sector caused high unemployment rates in the rural parts of Oregon and impoverished whole communities.
Well, the federal government has finally achieved something historic — the longest shutdown in U.S. history. Congratulations, Washington! You’ve officially proven that when you stop working, nothing really changes.
So, while this isn’t the biggest immediate issue to resolve, it is indeed the biggest longterm issue: what can be done to reduce the harm of future shutdowns?
Deciphering Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s periodic public statements could be a cottage industry. Some of his assertions and urgings are head-scratchers, given their divergence from easily verified facts.
The Democrat Party has declared war on America. It would be difficult to believe that they can win elections after all the riots, protests, insurrection, and their government shutdown.
They say history repeats itself, but that’s lazy thinking. History doesn’t repeat — it stumbles out of the bar at 2 a.m., grabs the wrong Uber, and wakes up wearing someone else’s crown, wondering why the peasants are revolting again. What really happens is that patterns emerge — and if you’re lucky (or paying attention), they’re the good kind.
