Dreams dreams dreams

#I had so many and they were like inception where I tried to wake myself up but I’d wake up in another dream #like I ‘woke up’ and my phone was ringing and I knew it was my appointment the next day trying to cancel on me but they sounded like a auto #insurance fraud and I knew it was fake and then I woke up for real #but yeah there were dreams of being in castles and Groundhog Day #but I had one where my crush and I were going through this city to some underground club and it was really cool #and the I just woke up now to see she texted me last night to saying she liked the cookies I baked her yesterday and that I am a sweetie :)

Beatrice Information Post

She kills everyone in a groundhog loop day as punishment for their sins… she has a funny enemies and loves banter with protag Battler as he fights her to save his family (she is a girlboss who makes him get naked and walks him around with a leash) - it (spoilers) is revealed/heavily implied she was identified as male at birth - also she is bisexual and just trolling this messed up family throughout the visual novel

Trapped a family in a death loop, girl bossed it up

Evil? She's so evil. Murder? Yeah. Stereotypical anime cackling? You know it. Demon summoning? She probably did it before your fav. Tax fraud? Maybe. But most of the people she killed were rich, so not only is she evil, she's also morally in the right-- As for trans swag? Oh baby. She's got it in spades. First off, she is in fact, actually factually canonically trans (at least in my heart, and maybe also in canon too it's debatable but not too much there's so much gender in this girl). If that's not enough for you, she can turn into a cloud of golden butterflies. If that's not trans swag, I have no clue what is.

She's so evil she put me in a time loop to repeat this poll until I make her the first character to get one Beatrillion submissions. Please send help. She is simultaneously like twenty people and secretes gender like a mucus but in a cool way

i'm literally drowning in butterflies rn i cannot think of a more gender way to get eternally tortured for my sins

I think I mentioned tax fraud at one point? And murder. Lots of murder. She makes extremely funny faces, and that's kind of neat. Did I mention she's like 20 different people simultaneously because if that's not trans swag I don't know what is and oH GOD THE BUTTERFLIES THEY'RE BACK SEND HELP

eat the rich! eat the rich! eat the rich! eat the rich!

i'm still being punished for my sins and this is like. the sixth voter fraud submission i've done? that's pretty evil right i'm running out of words all i know is she can start speaking so wacky her words turn red. they transition to another color that's good enough to fulfill the trans swag requirement for this i think

i will not stop submitting her i need the best girlfailure serial killer gaslighting rich-eating menace to get a spot in this tournament

Trump Advises Dr. Oz to Just Declare Victory Before All Votes Counted

In line with the baseless claims of “election fraud” he perpetuated about the 2020 election, former President Donald Trump is now urging his endorsed favorite candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz, who is currently running neck and neck in vote tallies with his primary opponent for the US Senate David McCormick, to just “declare victory” - even before all the votes have been counted in a contest which will have far-reaching implications.

Well, I guess that’s not especially surprising. I mean, as we all know, left to his own devices, Donald Trump is the kind of guy who’d have called the Kentucky Derby when the horses are only 3/4 of the way around the track, or complained about “if only the Cincinnati Bengals would’ve listened to me and declared victory before those damn LA Rams scored in the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl!” Why, when this style of logic is employed properly, the possibilities are endless.

Anyway, let’s see here. So, we now have a professional con artist, advising a quack TV doctor. Gee, that should prove interesting! And, to top it all off, Trump is now accusing Republicans of committing “voter fraud” against their fellow Republicans. Good grief! Somehow, Mr. Trump has actually managed to convince Republicans to join a “circular firing squad.” Why, it’s no wonder they call this guy a “stable genius!” Not even the Democrats could have come up with that one.

Now, the funny thing is that Dr. Oz is running for office in Pennsylvania, yet he still remains on the voter rolls in Bergen County, New Jersey - where he voted as recently as November 2020. Not to be critical, but me thinks we may finally have ourselves a real, documented case of voter fraud here! Perhaps it’s time to head back over to the “Four Seasons Total Landscaping” once again, for one of Rudy Giuliani’s delicious “Stop the Steal” rallies.

Of course, the question is - just how can Pennsylvania settle this close primary election, so everyone will accept the outcome? Frankly, I think the only way to do it - is to leave the final decision up to Pennsylvania’s most trusted expert advisor - that, of course, is none other than THE “Punxsutawney Phil,” because when in doubt, ask a groundhog! Now, if Phil sees his shadow, that’ll mean Dr. Oz won. On the other hand, if he doesn’t see his shadow, well - that means we can expect six more weeks of Trump whining about it.

Halloween Psych Prompts

I wrote these aaages ago before October 2021 and never got around to writing any of them because... I am a writer who doesn’t actually want to write. Anyway, so I just wanted to share what ideas I wrote and if you wanna use the prompts, be my guest, I would LOVE to read them if you do.

Some of these are not Halloween or horror/spooky focused but made it in because I thought it would be fun/cute/interesting/whatever. And they don’t have to be Shassie (although a lot were listed with Shassie in mind).

I came up with 31 of them and i am probably never going to write any of them.

Use at your leisure but if you do pls let me know so I can read!!!

Shawn holds a memorial for his father (Henry: stop telling people I’m dead!)

Shawn & Lassie find an abandoned puppy

Lassie has a secret: he drinks PSL when the season is right

Henry throws a BBQ party and Shawn tries to make it spooky

Shawn’s ghost leads Lassie to his killer (heavy angstttt)

Lassie’s in a coma & has found a way to communicate with Shawn… spiritually

Shawn climbs a tree to save a cat but ends up getting stuck

Scary movie marathon

Lassie & his sister fuck with a ouija board and go to Shawn for help because they MIGHT have summoned a demon

Shawn is a vampire & Lassie is a vampire hunter who can’t seem to prove what Shawn is… and maybe doesn’t want to.

Carving pumpkins to make the police station more festive (for kids who will be visiting the police station later)

Costume party at the precinct

Skeletons found: real or not real? Damn those Halloween decorations.

Groundhog day (is this day EVER GOING TO STOP REPEATING?!)

Lassie “accidentally” pisses off a faerie who “accidentally” curses him with accidents and the curse can only be broken by an accidental kiss. Shawn finds out and tries to trip into Lassie to create an “accidental” kiss but... it’s not working... because he’s tripping on purpose. Damn.

Mistletoe but make it spooky

Trick or treat but it’s all just tricks

The three ghosts of Halloween visit Lassie

Telling scary stories around a campfire

Shawn & Lassie live their worst nightmares - Nightmare on Elm St style

Shawn & Gus prepare for Halloween at the Psych office but no one knocks on their door

Shawn & Gus go on a haunted trail with Lassie, Jules, Buzz, & his wife

Gus is convinced that an evil spirit has possessed an object at the Psych office

Lassie is mysteriously “sick” on the full moon. Gus is convinced that he’s a werewolf. Shawn tries to prove him wrong because werewolves don’t exist… or do they?

Shawn eats too much candy, gives himself a massive stomach ache, and can’t help out on a case

A ouija board outs Shawn as a fraud to Lassie & Jules. This was not how Shawn expected to tell them.

Shawn gets lost in a corn maze

Don’t blink. Blink and you’re dead. (iykyk)

Gross candy corn for the whole station. Link to google search of new flavors

Some Scooby Doo bullshit, including Shawn jumping into Lassie’s arms Shaggy/Scooby style

Photo

so a while back I was talking about extensive blacklists and somebody messaged to see if I wanted screenshots of a very impressive blacklist from an old Discord server they were in. of course, I did. here are the aforementioned screenshots as promised -- naturally the person wishes to remain anonymous, but here’s what they said:

hello, t'was i who was your Long Blacklist anon. here's what i have, or at least what i have scraped from the sides of my massive screenshots folder

to note: in the first image, in the section "TSS specific", the Remus mentioned is one of the characters in the show that the server is about, whether he's secondary or main is up for debate. like. a WHOLE CHARACTER

some of these are understandable honestly, i don't mind a lot of this, but i had forgotten "y'all" was on here and. i'm sure that was probably said about 500 times in there because. how do you. IT'S Y'ALL

I gotta admit that I was not expecting this to be so wild. I had no idea an entire regional accent would be on here; nor could I have anticipated the fact that the whole of Ohio State University would be a banned topic, but there you go.

i.

kissing you still feels like missing you, which is to say that you can kiss me all you want again but you will never hold me the same way you did a year ago. apparently, this is a dealbreaker for me.

ii.

mary asks what heartbreak looks like for me. she is a writer and has never learnt to hold her tongue. i say that mostly it was forgetting i loved to dance. mostly it was the way the cereal box took twice as long to finish alone but i keep buying the multipack anyway. i say, mary, it doesn't matter what heartbreak looks like. but heartbreak has made me look like a fraud.

iii.

i think it is a wednesday when you call but i lose track of dates like losing sleep. it's the same story: you want to try again, and then you don't, and then you do, and i am back to tending wounds that don't heal.

iv.

last night, i left the house and i laughed with some friends and i drank my weight at the pub to throw it up and i loved every moment of it. they don't let me think about you. today, it has been five months since i've seen you. today, there's a crack of sunlight on an overcast day.

v.

kissing you still feels like missing you, and i am getting very good at both. we are cupid's favourite version of groundhog day but i still think there's going to be a different ending every time. if you come back again, i will do things differently. if you love me again, i will try better - not harder, i have always tried the hardest i could. i want kissing you to just feel like kissing you again. i feel your absence in every touch.

- falling apart in five parts, j.l.

Oooh for the son rarepairs- I would love to read some Dean/Gabriel! I feel like their personalities would mesh fantastically if not for them getting off on a bad start. Maybe for Bisexual or Free Space? 🥺

Honestly, I have been in such deep Debriel feels lately. So I loved this request! Also today is Gabriel’s day as it is a Tuesday & Groundhog’s day so enjoy. (P.S. This is the first SPN fic I’ve ever written and finished so all constructive criticism is welcomed.) Ao3 link here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/29158887

@spnrareshipbingo

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gabe tries not to sigh as he and Dean watch The Untouchables for the sixth time this year. It was a decent movie, but six times felt like a bit much. He just couldn't understand how Dean was able to watch it so many times without growing tired of the plot.

"Can you actually taste sugar?"

"What?" Gabe moves off the arm of the couch as he turns to look at Dean. Why was he asking that out of nowhere?

"Can you actually taste sweets?" Dean repeats the question not with exasperation but mild curiosity. He holds his head up with his right hand perched up on the back of the couch. The hunter doesn't even bother to look away from the tv. Gabriel glances back at it as Wallace uncovers Capone's tax fraud.

Gabe stares at Dean. Was he suddenly interested in angel functionality? Why? He could get it up just as well as any human. Dean finally glances over in his direction. It's followed instantly by a roll of his eyes.

"Oh come on. Stop looking at me as if I've grown a third head. Angels can't taste food. Cas said."

So that's what this was. Gabriel makes a big show of sighing now. He lets out all the pent up sighs he had been withholding throughout the entirety of the movie. Gabriel stretches his arms out. For a second he's tempted to let a bit of his actual form out. To stretch all the way out towards the ceiling of the bunker. The chances of accidentally blinding Dean were too high to actually give in to the urge. Instead, he falls into Dean's lap. Arms now folded, comfortably under his head. "Did Cas say angels can't taste food or that they can taste every molecule within said food?"

Dean opens his mouth but quickly closes it again. Swallowing his words, perhaps even literally. "Uh,"

Gabe smirks. "Yeah, that's what I thought."

Dean frowns at the tv. For a moment Gabe assumes he's satisfied Dean's curiosity. He folds his legs over each other over the couch's arm and makes himself. He was just about to roll his head back towards the tv too when his eye catches on Dean's furrowing brow. This conversation wasn't done yet. Finally, he breaks his silence again. "What's the difference?"

"For most angels, the being able to taste so much makes consuming food and drinks," Gabriel pauses searching for the best word. Finally his tongue lands on, "unpleasant."

Dean looks down at Gabriel. The color of his green eyes would be difficult to make out in the dim light if he was human. Another perk to being an archangel. He could still see those hunter green jacket eyes even in pitch darkness. "Meaning?"

"Meaning that it's an acquired taste Dean-O. It's like," Gabe throws his hands up as he thinks. Dean swerves his head back. Barely getting his face out of the way of Gabe's hands in time. "like, well picture a pie."

"Done." Of course that wasn't difficult for him.

"Now imagine that pie contains not just one flavor of pie in it, but all the flavors of pie."

"That's a lot of pie." Gabriel could see the gears turning in Dean's head now. He also made out the sound of Dean's growling stomach. He'd get him some dinner and pie after the movie.

"Exactly!" Gabe sits up. "But somehow it all fits in a normal-sized pie, and every bite you take tastes of all the flavors of pie in the world at once. Scratch that, in the galaxy."

"Some of those are not going to taste good together."

The archangel shrugs. He leans against Dean's side. "Yeah but some taste really good together and you're tasting it all at one with every bite."

Dean leans his head from one side to the next as he mulls over the thought. "Okay."

"That's what eating is like for angels. We taste every different molecule the food is made of. Hundreds of thousands of bits of food in our mouth all at once in every bite."

Dean's nodding now. There's a shoot out happening in the movie. Which one Gabe wasn't sure of. At this point, he'd lost all interest in the film. He lays back down in Dean's lap. "So why do you eat so many sweets?"

Good question. Worst timing. Now he was actually craving something sweet. "Well at first it was out of curiosity. I wanted to know what humans' food tasted like when I first came down. News flash wasn't that great, but it was simpler. Less to take in when I ate it."

Dean's hand absentmindedly starts to comb through Gabe's hair. He wasn't paying attention to the movie at all now either. It had officially been regulated to background noise. "Then it became about keeping up my façade of being the trickster."

Gabriel frowns at the thought of Loki. Quickly he pushes on. "Eventually the food actually became enjoyable. It was easier to just passively take in the taste of it all, and sweets were the best! They became more sugary, so the molecules started tasting closer to one another. Which made it easier to stuff my face."

A faint smile forms at the edges of Dean's mouth. "So you like sweets because they all taste the same?" This was nice. Talking about something so casual. So much of their days were filled with monsters and world-ending notions. Dean was typically so stressed that they barely talked at all. Well more like he talked and Dean would listen as they worked. Gabriel was enjoying this change of pace so much that he almost forgot to answer Dean's question entirely.

"Not exactly. It's like I can tune out more while eating them. I don't have to think about how the molecules are supposed to taste together to actually taste them anymore. Passively tasting."

"Oh. So it's like beer. Some of it you just drink to drink and the taste stops mattering."

"Yeah. Sure big guy. Only I do it for the opposite effect."

Dean stops running his fingers through Gabe's hair to scratch at his chin. "Okay I think I get why you eat sweets. So why do you eat them in my bed?"

"Why not?" He rolls over in Dean's lap. Now on his side and able to watch the movie. People were yelling at each other, but that was all Gabe could pick up.

"Because I actually sleep unlike you and I enjoy a clean bed."

Okay, this wasn't going to get dropped. He rolls back around to face Dean again. "Yeah and I enjoy a snack on occasion." Gabe playfully cups the side of Dean's cheek in his hands. "Beside sometimes I need a pick me up after our fun."

"You have wings. You can bamf anywhere, eat, then come back." Dean insists and Gabe could tell he was just annoyed more so than anything else.

"Yeah, but why go through that all that effort when I'm already in your bed."

Dean looks down at Gabe. A dull, tired expression on his face. "I'm not going to get you to stop, am I?"

"Nope." Perhaps he's won this already.

"Alright." Dean pushes Gabe out of his lap.

"Hey!" Gabe sits up on the ground as Dean walks away. "Dean-O where are you going?

"To angel proof my room."

Gabe rolls his eyes. "Come on you're not going to do that."

"Oh really? I've got the chalk in my room."

Gabriel scoffs. "Yeah right." After a few moments. "Dean! Dean come on! You're not really gonna kick me out just because of a few candy wrappers are you?" Gabriel stands up staring at the hall Dean just left through. No answer, but he can hear Dean start sprinting down the hall now. Realizing Dean might actually go through with it Gabriel unfurls his wings. The race had already begun.

12 and 30! :D

12) Is there a trope you haven’t written yet but really want to?

Being the sucker for Soulmate AUs that I am, you’d think I have at least a dozen ideas for that, right? Wrong. Mind, I do have a fic idea for it and some small bits written, but I feel like a fraud for taking over 2 years to realise that’s a thing I need to do.

The other trope is Timeloop fics (aka Groundhog day, not that I ever saw the movie), cause I simply love those. Seriously. So much. And yet, here I am with only a loose idea...

30) Tell us an idea for a longfic you want to write in the future.

Oh god which one?! I have too many! But let’s go with one of the longest. Mind, it’s started so I’m not sure in how far it counts for this, but here we go. Dog Days SERIES, which went from one medium length fic, to a fucking three parter. The Greater Hound Stands Above: During the Rudshore mission Daud is missing, and Corvo strikes up an unlikely deal with Thomas, who currently keeps the whalers (or what’s left) together. They work for him as spies, and Corvo accidentally becomes friends with the whalers, and has to learn to fill in Daud’s footsteps, as he never reappeared. Dog Days: Daud was turned into a hound shortly post brigmore witches, and strays int he city, lost and unable to return. He accidentally befriends Corvo (the other way around, really) and after a bunch of encounters lands in the tower. He constantly fluctuates between ‘i dont deserve any of this’ and ‘i refuse to be treated like a dog’, it’s quite the dilemma. Part3: Reveals happen, drama is had, all the good shit.

Author meme!

Tagged by @zevons :****

Author name: redandgold (AO3)

Fandoms you write for: I think it’s been almost entirely football at this point although I have written for the occasional other fandom, especially in the early days; am, like everyone, guilty of some HP dabbling, and have also done DPS / CDC. I have like a million WIPs for the Terror, and a BBC Ghosts / RoL crossover which I really should finish at some point in time.

Where you post: AO3, pretty much!

Most popular one-shot: By hits it’s strangeways, here we come which! Thank u! I honestly enjoyed writin this ESPECIALLY since it gave me the opportunity to wank over England’s propensity for being shit at everything (Narrative wise is beautiful but I wish they would stop)

Most popular multi-chaptered story: hahahhahahaha what does it say when all my multi-chapters are because I ran out of space in the footnotes for references

(I am v bad at writing multi-chaptered things... I feel like I prefer one-shots - it’s tighter somehow? more fun?)

Favourite story you wrote: oofa doofa i’ve been reading my writing recently for a kick because I haven’t done anything in so long and it feels like im LOSIN it bc i used to write like...good shit... anyway I digress: I honestly like most things I write but have here you are with your faith because I love...the apocalypse.. I love killing off David Beckham. 10/10 would recommend

Obligatory shoutout to if it seems like i’ve been lost, so good it got ripped off

Story you were nervous to post: ahaahha basically every fwic i write out of my comfort zone be it germ fic for @bayernluvr69 or iker fic for @strikerbacks because i NEVER KNOW if i am doing them justice and also like every xabifips fic in the WORLD but esp summer sang in me a little while because it was like a truly Deep Dive and one i am still unsure if I have surfaced from

How do you choose your titles: remember how the entirety of 2018 i used only billy joel song lyrics? Don’t Ask Me Why

Do you outline: usually! I write by breaking stories up into pieces and leaving a quick line of summary for each piece, and then from there it just spirals into mass disorganisation (I don’t necessarily write the pieces in order) - but I do tend to have the ending in mind already because that’s the most important thing to me (and probably something that comes through in my writing). I dooon’t like writing without outlining because it makes me feel like I’m not in control (as if having an outline does! ha! lies!) and anyway, a lot of my stuff needs to be tightly plotted otherwise it just. devolves into very Little (i.e. a hot mess).Even in terms of character studies, which I adore but don’t usually have strong plot points, I’d plot out what I want to say about this character and then see how I can weave that into a story.

Rex Dangervest and parallels with video game characters part 4: Metis.

They are both the protagonist’s shadow personified though they’re not called shadows in the text .

They are both fiercely protective of their “sibling” (Rex calls Emmet “ Bro” and Metis calls Aigis “sister”.) Their desire sets then against their “siblings’ ” friends and this causes a conflict between the two sets of “siblings”. They both ensure that their sibling is wearing a new vest and something changed on their head. (Aigis gets a helmet/viser thing and Rex changes Emmet’ s hair to look like his.) That being said they can and do work with their siblings’ friends despite the animosity.

Both are shown to be quite knowledgeable about the “ dungeons” Rex with the Sisstar System and Metis with the Abyss of Time. They also do quite a bit of exposition.

Both are involved in time travel plots and face Hell (Though Metis is more Groundhog Day than Rex’s Back to the Future. And Metis is trying to return time to normal while Rex uses time to serve his own means.) And The Dryer for how awful it is is Limbo and also Judecca’s immobility while The Abyss of Time’s dungeons are named after the last two circles of hell Malebolge (fraud) one named Cocytus the circle of traitors and some are named after subsections in said circle Cainia : betrayers of family, Antenora: betrayers of country, Ptolomaea : betrayers of guests though weirdly enough the last dungeon is named after heaven Empyrean.)

Both are willing for their” siblings “to hate them by doing a thing that would earn that hatred even though they believe what they’re doing is for said “siblings” own good.(Metis was willing to murder Aigis’ friends including a Elementary school student and a dog . None of them were older than 18. Rex was willing to have everything put in storage, break Bianca’ s heart and creative spirit, get Finn to “grow up” and break Emmet’s spirit too.)

Navigating an Historic Period - Economic Bubble and Anarchy

3. Crying Wolf – Is Beginning to Bite

This year, if State of the Union and Groundhog Day occurred on the same day, we would witness one meaningless ritual by a creature with no intelligence and another ritual by a groundhog.

As children our parents read us the book about the little boy who cried wolf too often so when the wolf really came, no one believed him. The lesson was that negatives result from lying as illustrated by the wolf eating the little boy. In the real world, the result is the loss of credibility, which is dangerous for a person.

Today the government of the USA has no credibility anywhere in the world. As a result, the crises faced by the USA because of the Biden Administration and his band of merry Demented Marxists (DMs) a/k/a Democrats has grown exponentially. If it was not serious this would be funny because they think they are in control but almost no one is paying any attention to them. It is like a parade going down the wrong street.

The mandate that “Everyone has to get vaccinated so that those that have already been vaccinated are safe” is illogical (if effective, the vaccinated should be safe) and now has been destroyed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Center for Disease Control (CDC) who now are publicly retracking their previous positions. I have seen pictures of packages handed out in Mexico and India so their citizens can treat themselves for the Wuhan/CCP Virus and these packages include Ivermectin. But if this apparently beneficial and inexpensive treatment was available in the UDSA, it would eliminate the mandates. Is power more important to the DMs than the health of USA citizens? Yep.

Even some of the media are asking why Dr. Fauci championed vaccines, boosters, and masks while he amassed $10 M+ in financial assets from Chinese investments. If it is determined that the mRNA “vaccines” damage the recipient’s health with myocarditis and other diseases, there will be massive lawsuits against companies and entities that mandated vaccination. The momma bears upset about CRT will be pale in comparison.

This weekend I found myself contemplating being on the same side of the mandated vaccination issue as Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. while reading about the Trump rally in Arizona. It was attended by 55,000 supporters with thousands more turned away because they could not be accommodated. Biden cannot attract a crowd of homeless with free food and I am agreeing with a liberal Democrat.

Because the whole world knows this administration is inept, incompetent, corrupt, and exists only because of massive vote fraud the bad actors in the world are ready to pounce. Putin is facing domestic turmoil so he has amassed 100,000 troops at the Ukrainian border. Xi knows he is riding a paper dragon economy teetering on collapse also needs to attack someone. Both hope to distract their populations by appearing powerful. Add to that mix that Iran is on the verge of nuclear weapons and so is Saudi Arabia. The American people recognize the danger, are mad, and only one person in this debacle has consistently told them the truth – Trump.

Now what happens when the Biden mandates result in empty store shelves, cold homes due to high energy prices, and rampant inflation? What if the mRNA vaccine causes permanent damage to the recipients? From a level of anger I have never seen before, what is the next level? Some of the anger is being directed toward election forensic audits and legislation has been passed by most of the states in attempts to correct the fraud that occurred in 2020. Logically, some historically significant revelations and court cases will get the attention of the public despite the efforts of the so-called mainstream media to cover it up. At that point this entire situation will rupture like a rotten tomato.

We have witnessed the effect of some rightfully mad momma bears on the recent election in Virginia. Please note these data points:

1. This past weekend, Virginia installed three mature adults into our top three positions. The cleaning of the Aegean Stables has begun.

2. The DMs realize that they are in serious jeopardy facing a potential wipeout and most have doubled down with their calls for election reform (to legalize their cheating).

3. Senators Manchin and Sinema recognize Biden has already failed and are already running for President in 2024.

4. Hilary Clinton is running for President to raise money (that is what DMs do) and to stave off prosecution by Durham. It will be interesting to see if the Democratic machine will protect her or seek an alternative that might win (Manchin or Sinema).

The solution – pray for honest elections this November.

Economic Update:

With the 10 Year Treasury firmly above 1.8% and mortgage rates around 3.3%, some forecasters have shifted their forecasts. The forecast range for 10 Year Treasury is now around 2.5% and mortgages around 4% by the end of this year. As The Fed exits both the mortgage and 10 Year Treasury markets, private investors will drive interest rates higher. How high and how quickly will depend on their expectations about how long inflation will run at 7% per annum or higher.

Apparently, bond market investors believe inflation will decline but the lowest forecast of the end of year rate of inflation I have seen is 3%. That level suggests the 10 Year Treasury would be 4% or more and mortgages 5.5% or more. If that happens, get out of the way of the real estate bubble bursting. With Producer Inflation Rate being 10% and oil headed to $90 per barrel, consumer inflation has not yet peaked. So long as Real Interest Rates (interest rate less the rate of inflation) are negative, there is no incentive to hold cash. That means demand will stay strong and prices will increase trying to balance all these different forces.

When The Fed begins raising their Federal Funds Rate this spring short interest rates will be affected. The stock market is trying to reach a consensus on (1) the impact of higher mortgages and the broader range of interest rates, and (2) the timing of the impact on the economy. Since The Fed makes its decisions based upon data is that 90 – 180 days behind the market, The Fed will raise interest rates until it is obvious that they raised them too high. It will be obvious because the economy is in a recession. I expect that to happen the fall of 2022 or early in 2023.

What will make this global recession especially dicey are the following forces that have been unleashed:

1. Biden Administration – Not a single member of the Administration that has been successful in anything other than politics and academia, so poor real-world decisions.

2. China is an economic paper dragon now on fire with no fire department around. The fire is not just consuming the real estate developers (four have now defaulted on bonds) but the coming collapse of the local government special funding vehicles from collapsing land prices, collapsing housing prices and sales, tech firms realizing the danger of being in China, and western companies who are reshoring thus exiting which is reducing employment. Capitalism and Marxist cannot co-exist. Xi will either be replaced or start a war he can win.

3. Putin – facing domestic economic discontent, like every dictator in history including Xi, he needs to win a war (Ukraine) to stay in power.

To return to REAL prosperity, we need to combine Honest Elections and Capitalism to slash taxes, reduce the size of government, and provide tax incentives to re-build the American manufacturing economy which will increase the size of the American economic pie. That combination provides the tax revenue to assist those who need it. We prospered under the hand of God because our country combined Christianity, capitalism, and democracy.

Please pray:

1. For the 600 American being held as political prisoners by Biden and the DMs in hell hole conditions in the DC Gulag. Demented Marxism on display.

2. For honest elections because they are the fulcrum of our American experiment. It is not vengeance to demand honesty and that everyone play by the same laws.

3. That the Demented come out of the dark into the light.

Men make plans, but God ALWAYS wins. Every portfolio should contain some cash. A great piece of land remains The Best investment long term. Focus on the Truth, The Way, and The Light. Just like 2022 years ago, those consumed by the world are living in the dark and do not understand that their power, economic or political or both, is worthless. Let’s Go Brandon!

“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather scatters.”

(Matthew 12:30 New Revised Standard Version, Oxford University Press)

Stay healthy,

New on Amazon Prime Video UK April 2021: Palm Springs, Sound of Metal & More!

https://ift.tt/39zxxf1

The past year in lockdown may make the idea of a comedy about being stuck in an endlessly repeating loop feel a little too close to home, but Palm Springs starring Andy Samburg and Cristin Milioti, which arrives on Friday the 9th of April, is fresh and funny and well worth your time. For something more serious and very well regarded, there’s Sound of Metal on Monday the 12th, starring Riz Ahmed as a heavy metal drummer losing his hearing. And if lockdown’s simply been too much fun and you need bringing back down to earth with a bleak tale of German teenage drug addiction, there’s We Children from Bahnhof Zoo.

Add to that weekly episodes of animated superhero series Invincible, out on Fridays, an intriguing looking US horror anthology called THEM (previously: THEM: Covenant) arriving on the 9th, and an Italian-made biographical series about Leonardo da Vinci starring Poldark’s Aidan Turner as the man himself. If you missed out on ABC’s Flashforward at the time too, there’s a chance to catch up. Read on for more…
