It's been 4 years since the event, a large peaceful protest with a small riot involved, not the worst anyone had seen, even within a couple of years prior. The handful of people killed there were killed by the Potomac Regime itself, one in cold blood. Since then, with insurrection as an excuse (this in a heavily armed nation, with no guns in hands of the protestors), America has had in the neighborhood of a thousand of our own citizens taken Political Prisoner and kept in Washington, FS dungeons by the Regime's Dark Brandon and minion Alejandro Mayorkas.
The latter is a Latin American name that reminds me of something. Down in those parts, there are so many streets named after the dates of various revolutions, counter-revolutions, and what-have-you. Communists come, then there's no way to oust them without going violent. Juntas, they call them, take over and often go too far in the other direction.
It's the unfortunate innocent victims of the latter that are mourned in story and song, with not much said by officialdom about the victims of the Communists.
U-2 singer Bono sang a song about "The Disappeared" as a track on The Joshua Tree nearly 40 years ago. Being Bono, of course his sympathies lay with the Communists, probably some of them that we were to sob about along with his song. I don't guess new Medal of Freedom winner Bono would want to write a song about the January 6th Political Prisoners and the anxious thoughts of their mothers and fathers.
He wouldn't have to write a new song even, as Mothers of the Disappeared is pretty generic. Would Bono ever think about doing this song in some type of awareness fundraiser for our Disappeared? Nah, I guess it doesn't work like that.
Midnight our sons and daughtersDo you hear their heartbeats, President Trump? Please, on January 20th this year, we ask Libertad for our Presos Polรญticos. (Hey, if we're gonna be a Banana Republic, we may as well speak like we're in a Banana Republic.) This should be done on Day 1. We don't even need a Junta. MAGA will do for America.
were cut down and taken from us.
Hear their heartbeats.
We hear their heartbeats.
In the wind we hear their laughter.
In the rain we see their tears.
Hear their heartbeats we hear their heartbeats.
Night hangs like a prisoner,
stretched over black and blue.
Hear their heartbeats.
We hear their heartbeats.
In the trees our sons stand naked.
Through the walls our daughters cry.
See their tears in the rainfall.
Oh, and after this is over, I think a Latin American style sign like that above, English or Spanish for the connotations should replace the "D Street" signs. Per a quick search 1900 D Street is where the DC Central Correctional Facility lies. We don't know if all the Political Prisoners are there. They are The Disappeared.
This shit's gonna get worse - even more Latin American - if we don't escalate a counter-revolution against the Communist Regime.
PS: I'm reading an interesting article from 2 years ago about these Patriots.

PS: Good morning, Achmed,

It is true that Bill Clinton was less of a spendthrift than most of the clowns who have held that office but, as you say, he wasn't fiscally responsible either.
https://www.self.inc/info/us-debt-by-president/
When the Clinton regime took power the debt stood at a mere $4.4 trillion. By the time he left office the debt had ballooned to $5.8 trillion. $1,395,974,529,060.68 (or so) was added to the debt on Clinton's watch. An increase of ~32%.
Which isn't so bad compared to the others. The worst offenders being Lincoln (2859.40%), Martin Van Buren (Jackson's successor)(1458.32%), Franklin D. Roosevelt (1047.73%), and Woodrow Wilson (722.21%).
As per the link above Andrew Jackson took the debt from $58.4 million down to (zero for a spell) $336,957.83, a change of -99.42% (Pretty good in my opinion.)
$336,957.83 could probably have been paid off, down or maintained by the Van Buren regime but (and I don't know the history or reasons why) was not. By the time Van Buren was done with his shift the debt was increased to $5.25 million.

After a quick search (so I'm not sure this is totally correct) it seems that the richest man in America in 1835 was Stephen Van Rensselaer, Lieutenant Governor of New York, with a net worth of ~$10 million. Thus proving your point.
Though looking through history this was an anomaly of sorts. Other than this period of time (a couple decades perhaps) I don't think there was ever any other time when one rich individual could pay off the "government" debt. For example, they say that Cornelius Vanderbilt's net worth peaked in 1877 to $105 million. By that time the "government" debt had ballooned to $2.2 billion.
They say the "government" debt stood at ~$16 million in 1845 while the richest man in America was John Jacob Astor, who held a fortune of $25 million.
Franklin Pierce left office with a debt of ~28 million (-52.01%) in 1857. But it's a bit unclear who was the richest man in America at the time and what their net worth was. It was probably still possible that a single wealthy individual could have paid off the whole debt in 1857.
By 1865 (thanks to the evil tyrant Lincoln 2859.40%) the debt stood at $2.6 billion which dwarfed any personal fortune of the day. (Well, it's possible that the Rothschild family held such a massive fortune in 1865, but it is a little difficult to casually ascertain such numbers.)

But they don't often talk about the trillionaires in the world.

Of course, if I were the wealthiest man in the world I wouldn't want anyone knowing about it. I would be perfectly happy to let people like Leon Mush parade around and larp as the world's richest man. Hell, I would pay journalist and newspapers to report it as such.
But anyway...
We're going to grill a tri-tip for lunch, but I'm not sure how much propane I have left in the tank and my backup tank is empty. (It takes a little more propane to grill when it is this cold.) So I have to get off my lazy fitbit and run up to the propane store because I would just hate running out while the tri-tip is on the grill. (And I know Mrs. Smith is going to like to eat soon.)

PS: I never heard that much of the story before, no, Mr. Smith. I do remember that there was time the debt was down toward 0 when I was looking at these numbers. Thanks for your links to that info, BTW.
You will still read/hear quite often that "The deficit" (at least) "went to zero during Bill Clinton's 2nd term." Bringing the deficit down to where you can even START paying off the debt is a good thing, but that wasn't really true. Social Security, which was still running well in the black in those days (late 1990s) was put under the general budget, where it has been since then. It was just a temporary bump due to the change in accounting.
When one looks at those end-of-year debt remaining. numbers, from the middle of WWII through 50 years back, in the hundreds of billions only, and under 500 billion, then in the 10's of billion the half century prior, then in the couple of billion or less in most of the previous half century (1875 - 1925), with that big jump (with no return) from WWI, then the previous half century, it being in the single-digit millions after Jackson through the 10s of millions, he will be astounded.
Other than during the War of 1812 and then the War Between the States, the CPI was very steady during the whole 19th Century - for those who don't know, a steady CPI means NO inflation, on average. So, those numbers you see through that century are REAL changes, not just higher numbers with the same value. However, besides a reasonably mellow jump in the late teens, the debt stayed within 70 to 90 million bucks owed for the 1st half century. That shows a small and stable government.
I could be off, but I think even in 1835 (190 y/o) dollars, one upper-middle class guy, maybe a plantation owner or something, could have paid the whole $33,000 himself. Nobody can do that now. I'm not sure what Bezos or Gates is worth, but let me guess $100 billion at the high end. It would take 360 guys like that to pay the national debt off now, will all of their money. (Might make for a good tax deduction, but then... wait...) Anyway, the won't because they wouldn't even think about it. I guess I can't blame them

PS: Happy January Sixth!
And good afternoon to you Mr. Moderator...
I don't have much to say, but I hope Dernald Blumph pardons (and pays reparations/compensation/restitution to) the Jan 6 political prisoners. I don't think he will, but he should. It's the right thing to do.
Speaking of anniversaries, did you know that there is another anniversary worth celebrating happening sometime around now(ish). In January of 1835, President Andrew Jackson paid off the United States' national debt for the first and only time in U.S. history.
From this link:
https://treasurydirect.gov/government/historical-debt-outstanding/
Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, was suspicious of banks and did not trust the paper money they issued. In 1837, he liquidated the Second Bank of the United States, returning the governmentโs original investment plus a profit.
This resulted in a huge government surplus of funds. (In 1835, the $17.9 million budget surplus was greater than the total government expenses for that year.) By January of 1835, for the first and only time, all of the governmentโs interest-bearing debt was paid off. Congress distributed the surplus to the states (many of which were heavily in debt). The Jackson administration ended with the country almost completely out of debt!
(Unfortunately, the dates in those two paragraphs don't line up. Something is amiss with the timeline.)
Here's another link:
https://www.wosu.org/news-partners/2018-01-03/episode-273-when-the-u-s-paid-off-the-entire-national-debt
On January 8, 1835, all the big political names in Washington gathered to celebrate what President Andrew Jackson had just accomplished. A senator rose to make the big announcement: "Gentlemen ... the national debt ... is PAID." The huzzahs rose up around the halls of Congress, or something like that.
That was the one time in U.S. history when the country was debt free. We had actually paid it all off, which never happens. It lasted exactly one year. And we've been arguing about the debt ever since, issuing treasury bonds along the way. We're around $14 trillion now. ($14 trillion as this article is from 2011.)
According to this link:
https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/andrew-jackson-national-debt-reaches-zero-dollars
On January 1, 1835, President Andrew Jackson achieves his goal of entirely paying off the United Statesโ national debt. It was the only time in U.S. history that the national debt stood at zero, and it precipitated one of the worst financial crises in American history.
Lol... So being debt free is bad, eh? And it looks like we might have missed the anniversary by almost a week. (So typical.)
Shortly after Andrew Jackson paid off the debt, which he rightfully viewed as a source of national shame, the criminals masquerading as "government" resumed their reckless borrowing. The U.S. has been in debt ever since.
Anyway... It is sunny and beautiful here today. And the wind stopped for a moment. Still a little cold though. I finally had to get the heated bucket out for Baby Girl because her bowl freezes too fast in the evening. Looks like winter is here.
I hope you and the Newman family are doing well and staying warm.
Cheers to another beautiful day! โฎ๏ธ

At some point, too, he'll be just busting out with pride - I gotta tell everyone how I did it! (Can you even go to jail for that? I mean, if the math says you've got the money, than you've earned the damn money.)
