Are they returning it to the descendants of the Aztecs, or skipping them entirely and giving it to the poor, oppressed peoples the Aztecs conquered, like the Tepanecs, Huastecs, and Totonacs?

Perhaps it would be more morally ethical if Mexico just returns all the land to the Culhuacan and the Acolhua, who were conquered by the Tepanecs, who were then conquered by the Aztecs, who were then conquered by Cortés in 1521.

Actually, unless you are a direct descendent of the Chalca people, you’re just another jack-booted Acolhua murdering colonizer’s ancestor who conquered the indigenous and noble Chalca.

Of course, we all know the evil Chalca subjugated and oppressed the Xochimilca, and stole their land and resources. The Chalca were basically “Nazi-huatl”, just raping and pillaging through what is rightfully the property of the grand Xochimilca people.

Actually…real social justice, real fairness, real equity and inclusion, would be to return the stolen lands and resources exclusively to only the descendants of the majestic Mixquic people who were cruelly conquered by the villainous Xochimilca, who were then brutally subjugated by the wicked Chalca, who were ruthlessly dominated by the vile Acolhua, who were savagely subdued by the nefarious Tepanecs, who were mercilessly vanquished by the vicious Aztecs, aaaand who were then finally roundly defeated by, as we all know, by Cortés in 1521.

You got this, Mexico.

The land purchased from Mexico for $15 million was part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed on February 2, 1848, which ended the Mexican-American War. This treaty resulted in the United States acquiring approximately 55% of Mexico’s territory, including present-day California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming.

Grok answered both of these questions INSTANTLY:

What was the cost per acre in dollars of the US purchase of Alaska?

The United States purchased Alaska from Russia in 1867 for $7.2 million. The total area of Alaska is approximately 375.5 million acres. To calculate the cost per acre:

$7,200,000 ÷ 375,500,000 acres ≈ $0.0192 per acre.

So, the cost was about 1.92 cents per acre.

What was the cost per acre in dollars of the US purchase of Mexican territories as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo?

The United States acquired approximately 529,000 square miles (338,680,960 acres) of Mexican territory through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848 for $15 million. To calculate the cost per acre:

$15,000,000 ÷ 338,680,960 acres ≈ $0.044 per acre.

So, the cost was roughly 4.4 cents per acre.

SO, the Mexicans got a much better deal than the Russians.

He’s back on YouTube. In the summer of 2020 due to unjustified smears against him for telling people what they didn’t want to hear, he was banned from YouTube and his huge number of long, detailed video deleted. Of course, the primary reason for that was because prior to the 2016 election he, using his usual facts and logic, totally obliterated Dimocrat attacks on Trump in his videos.

The Myth of the Nobel Savage (1:00:20)
Stefan Molyneux
Aug 6, 2025 [re-post from 2020 or prior – not the original interview date – W]

Is mankind inherently peaceful before civilization? Or is that just a dangerous myth?

In this thought-provoking video, philosopher Stefan Molyneux dismantles the romanticized idea of the “Noble Savage” — the belief that primitive human societies were pure, egalitarian, and non-violent. Drawing from anthropology, history, and evolutionary psychology, Molyneux explores the dark truths about tribal violence, the rise of civilization, and the real cost of utopian thinking.

This episode is a must-watch for anyone seeking to understand human nature, the origins of morality, and the illusions that still shape modern ideologies.

A minor point of World History ….

There is not a single square inch of ground on Earth that has not been … stolen, annexed, coveted, fought over, bought, traded, et al … by a group of people, nations, tribes, families, et al …. that did not originally belong to them.

Of course one has to actually read world history to actually know this.

Using this Democrat “logic” you could point to any piece of land on earth and claim it was stolen.

These idiots are virtue signaling themselves right into the ash heap of history.

Does this mean the Native Americans can take it back build casinos and kick out all the Somalis?

The whole world has stolen land fro one country or another.

I believe that the Democrat lady is of the Buffalo Tribe.

“Back home”.

Why not return there – asap.

I’ve always enjoyed Lavrov’s quips.

Lavrov opened the interview with Meet the Press with “welcome to meet the (Russian) diplomats”

The question of the day.

I have read that colleges and universities would fail without the Chinese students in the short run. There would be too much of a shortfall in tuition revenue to keep them open until American students fill in the gap or the universities cut waste and revamp their curricula.

We have not heard anything about whether this number is for a year or two until these universities get their financial houses in order. We do not know if tariffs are going to be higher if this 600,000 students are allowed in or if this number decreases every year.

We really don’t know all of the facts and details except that I know that PDJT Trade Team are working towards America First and Americans first. They also know that China cheats at everything.

They aren’t stupid.

:large

He made a deal.

Because China owns the major supply chains necessary to run this economy.

PDJT knows it & Xi knows it. Now you know it.

Why is Trump allowing 600,000 Chinese students spies into the US?

How dare the Iranians terrorize our citizens …. only we (the Australian Government) can terrorize our citizens.

Note to Australia, that horse left the barn years ago. This didn’t just happen overnight.

Whenever Australia, Britain, Canada or New Zealand do something on the world stage I first consider it as a way to cause trouble. America less so now that Trump is back in office. 5-eyes was recently cut out of Russia-Ukraine.

Uh, yeah, ending The Fed ain’t gonna’ happen (see below) and this is coming from a guy who wants MORE financial manipulations FROM THEM by, through CENTRAL PLANNING using simplistic garbage economic theory to “justify” it, artificially (like everything they do) lowering interest rates.

How does the Federal Reserve help to maintain the dominance of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency?

Grok 3 AI:

The Federal Reserve plays a critical role in maintaining the U.S. dollar’s dominance as the world’s reserve currency through several mechanisms:

Monetary Policy Stability: The Fed manages inflation and economic stability through interest rate adjustments and other tools, fostering confidence in the dollar’s value. Stable, low inflation supports its reliability as a store of value and medium of exchange globally.

Liquidity Provision: The Fed ensures ample dollar liquidity, especially during crises, through measures like quantitative easing and swap lines with foreign central banks. This reinforces the dollar’s role in international trade and finance, as seen during the 2008 financial crisis and the 2020 pandemic response.

Interest Rate Influence: By setting benchmark interest rates, the Fed affects global capital flows. Higher rates attract foreign investment into dollar-denominated assets like U.S. Treasuries, bolstering demand for the dollar.

Safe-Haven Status: The Fed’s credibility and the U.S.’s economic and military power make the dollar a safe-haven currency. The Fed’s actions to stabilize markets during turmoil (e.g., emergency rate cuts) reinforce this perception.

Global Financial System Integration: The Fed supports the dollar’s dominance by overseeing a robust financial system where dollars are widely used for trade, invoicing, and reserves. About 88% of international transactions (SWIFT data) and 58% of global foreign exchange reserves (IMF, 2024) are dollar-denominated.

Foreign Exchange Interventions: While rare, the Fed can intervene in currency markets to stabilize the dollar, often in coordination with other central banks, maintaining its global credibility.

These actions, combined with the U.S.’s economic size and institutional strength, ensure the dollar’s entrenched role, despite occasional challenges from currencies like the euro or yuan.

How does the Federal Reserve allow the US government to spend more that it receives in taxes?

Grok 3 AI:

The Federal Reserve enables the U.S. government to spend more than it collects in taxes by facilitating deficit financing through several mechanisms:

1. Money Creation and Monetary Policy: The Federal Reserve can indirectly finance government deficits by purchasing U.S. Treasury securities (bonds, notes, or bills) in the open market. When the government runs a deficit, it issues Treasury securities to borrow money. The Fed can buy these securities from banks or other financial institutions, injecting money into the economy. This process, often called “monetizing the debt,” increases the money supply, allowing banks to lend more, which can indirectly support government spending by keeping interest rates low and liquidity high.

2. Interest Rate Management: The Fed influences interest rates through its monetary policy tools, such as setting the federal funds rate or conducting open market operations. By keeping interest rates low, the Fed reduces the cost of borrowing for the government. This makes it cheaper for the Treasury to issue new debt to cover deficits, enabling more spending without immediate fiscal strain.

3. Quantitative Easing (QE): During economic crises, the Fed may engage in QE, purchasing large quantities of Treasury securities and other assets. This increases demand for these securities, which keeps their prices high and yields low, making it easier for the government to borrow at favorable rates to fund deficit spending.

4. Banking System Support: The Fed ensures the banking system has sufficient reserves to purchase Treasury securities. When banks buy these securities, they effectively lend money to the government, which supports deficit spending. The Fed’s actions, like lowering reserve requirements or paying interest on excess reserves, encourage banks to hold government debt.

5. Inflation and Debt Dynamics: By influencing inflation through monetary policy, the Fed can affect the real value of government debt. Moderate inflation reduces the real burden of debt over time, making it easier for the government to sustain higher spending levels relative to tax revenue.

However, the Fed does not directly give money to the government for spending. Its actions are indirect, primarily through the purchase of Treasury securities, which provides liquidity to the financial system and supports the government’s ability to borrow. The Treasury issues debt to cover deficits, and the Fed’s policies ensure there’s a market for that debt.

Important Notes:

– The Fed operates independently from the Treasury to avoid direct financing, which could lead to hyperinflation or loss of confidence in the currency. Direct financing (e.g., printing money to pay government bills) is prohibited under current U.S. law, though the Fed’s indirect support has similar effects in practice.

– Excessive deficit financing supported by Fed policies can lead to long-term risks like inflation, higher interest rates, or a weakened dollar if not managed carefully. [LOL, “if not managed carefully”; then, very apparently, it has never been so which is fully understandable since the economic theory used is simplistic garbage fed by insufficiently granular data manipulated for political reasons (ex., CPI) – see the book “Greenspan’s Bubbles”]

This process allows the government to spend beyond its tax revenue by leveraging the Fed’s control over the money supply and interest rates to make borrowing sustainable in the short term.

Yes–the Fed was created by law, not Constitutional Amendment.

Therefore, it is not a separate Branch of Government. It is accountable to the People within their Constitutional structure through their elected President. If it is not, it must be abolished.

Spoiler Alert: it will be done, praise God!

The new logo is a symptom of a much bigger disease.

The root of the problem isn’t the corporations implementing this bs.

The root cause is BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street et all that are enforcing their ideology on corporations in order for them to survive. Don’t comply? There goes your investors & access to operating operating capital.

BHO is responsible for the renewal of that based upon surveys of the growing racial divide during his term. Things from BHO like “If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon” (Martin) helped produce those results.

Racial and cultural divisions are powerful tools in the Mao Cultural Revolution playbook to incite the destruction of the “Four Olds” – old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old habits – that produce the dialectic (conflict) that (never) leads to their Communist utopia, just to a lot of poverty and dead bodies.

Of course, as has been said here and elsewhere many times, the regime of the CCP/PLA/USAID(CIA) virus installed and very likely China blackmailed Senile Manchurian Puppet with his senior White House advisor chosen before he was even sworn in being a person who had been fired from the BHO regime for saying on camera that her favorite political philosopher is Mao, was merely a continuation of the BHO regime. As a result, the racial divide continued to get worse along with other regime incited divisions.

American Maoism | James Lindsay (1:51:35)
New Discourses
14 Sep 2023

The Left moves operationally and according to a battle logic known as “dialectical political warfare.” The dialectic is the operating system of the Left, and it works by marrying a truth to a lie. Political warfare is a method of conducting warfare in which political means are used with hostile intent to get an enemy to behave in a desired fashion—propaganda is a great example. Perhaps the greatest dialectical political warfare tactician in human history is the monstrous figure of Mao Zedong, Communist dictator of China until his death in 1976. His tactics and cultural revolution are a testament to the fearsome and destructive power of dialectical political warfare, and they’re happening here in America and throughout the West today. Where Mao claimed to be employing “Marxism-Leninism with Chinese characteristics” in China, the “Woke” and environmental “Sustainability” movements we face in the present should be described as “Maoist Marxism with American Characteristics.” In this lecture from Dr. James Lindsay of New Discourses, the parallels between our experience today and the tools utilized in China under Mao will be made so clear that the unavoidable conclusion will be that we are living through nothing less than American Maoism.

I don’t think the church is a hot bed of carjackings.

I wish the DNC would stop invoking Christ while supporting abortion and trans our youth.

They only call on Christ to seem virtuous.

The audits of NGO’s is beginning.

p.s.
A lot of non-governmental organizations get funding from the federal government,
and / or are affiliated with churches (to help illegal immigrants etc.).

So, because some churches know how their bread is buttered,
say things, that they think can keep the cash flowing….

[ is that about money, or virtue? ]

imho

I thought the foundation of the Church was Jesus Christ and his apostles.

I don’t remember any DEI quotas in assembling the group.

The colleges need these foreign students because they pay full price.

So what he’s saying really is that colleges are now “Too Big To Fail “.

Why not just let the colleges close if they’ve bankrupted themselves?

Taking in these Chinese students is a form of a bail out.

Somewhere I got the impression that those National Guardsmen that were called up to D.C. were to get training, as they will be tasked to work with lawyers when the Guards go back to their home States for when they begin rounding up, er, rather, assisting Border Patrol in detaining illegals so that will be no more ‘Maryland man’ episodes.

So it makes sense to hear there are JAG prosecutors involved. We don’t hear too much about the improvements being made at Guantanamo with the press fawning all over the Alligator Alley and prospects of following their heroes journeys to Uganda. Funny how distractions still work.

No, he deserves lots more freakin’ support/legislation from you and especially that rat Thune and others.

No, he deserves a Speaker that knows what the heck he is doing.

Lot of stupid people out there.

My theory of why PDJT made that EO, was specifically because he knew lefties would go around burning the American Flag. Further showing how crazy they are to all. I truly believe that was a big reason why he did it.

Imho,
the rational for the EO of flag burning (to not burn flag which may incite violence, or may be against open burning in city policies, etc. )
is that yes, there is a (responsible ) freedom of speech,
but,
(an irresponsible) speech that may cause harm to others, is not protected speech.

Analogy:
Saying the word ‘fire’ is speech. people say it.

But, using the same word, in different context or circumstances:
if the word ‘Fire!!!’ is yelled in a crowded theatre – which could cause people to react, or panic, and / or harm others while trying to escape a fire –
that is Not protected free speech.
[ U.S. Supreme Court, year 1919, case, Schenck v. United States ]

So,
burning a flag is one thing. American Legion Posts across the country correctly burn worn out flags – there is a proper, respectful procedure to retire a U.S. flag.

But, burning a flag, amongst a crowd of people to get people to react, that is inciting (miss) behavior(s).

It’s not about it occurring while she was on the board. It shows that she’s an idiot or crook and should never have been in the role. She can pick which of the two she prefers, but BOTH disqualify her.

Doesn’t matter if her fraud was before she was on the FED. The fraud itself is disqualifying.

The President is in a very strong position here. The law says he can fire “for cause”. That “cause” does NOT have to be an actual criminal conviction. It can be anything that — in the President’s opinion — disqualifies the person from performing her actual job duties.

I think that playing fraud games with her personal financial accounts is more than enough reason to remove her from a high level FINANCIAL job that requires complete honesty and competence. The facts are clear that she is either a cheat or incompetent.

Maybe since she hired Hunter’s attorney, she will use the same defense. She is crackhead who was too drug addled at the time to know what she was doing.
