An Emotional Intelligent Voter (EIV) is a person who can manage both their own emotions and understand the emotions of people around them. As we approach the U.S. November 2024 election, Americans must demonstrate the ability to engage in Emotional Intelligent Voting. We must not be a parroting generation who repeats the words and phrases of others without understanding the real meaning of what they are saying. I live by the five key fundamentals of Emotional Intelligence: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills!

The majority of the members of the Republican party are Trump sycophants who are fact-less, ignorant, and implicit in insurgency and corruption from the top to the bottom. One thing that we all know well today is, that if you keep following Trump you will lose your money, your freedom, and maybe your life. At the end of the day, you will be left in the dustbin of life and Trump will keep moving on to the NEXT ONE and the NEXT ONE.

America and the world will benefit from engaging in Emotional Intelligence. Understand EI, you will acquire the ability to manage both your own emotions and understand the emotions of people around you. We must never be a ONE-ISSUE VOTER; however, if Americans are to preserve their Democracy, on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, the ONE VOTE you must case is a vote for Democracy Joe Biden.

I watched MSNBC anchor Lawrence O’Donnell’s show, “The Last Word” on Wednesday night December 27, 2023. News anchor O’Donnell, spoke with two guests regarding Donald Trump’s claim that “he cannot be prosecuted for trying to undo the 2020 election results, arguing that presidential immunity shields him from prosecution”.

News anchor O’Donnell and his guest discussed the possible complexity of Trump’s case that will certainly go before the U.S. Supreme Court. I say, there is no complexity here based on the information below!

First:                The standard that “no one is above the law” is an essential tenet of the United States Constitution. The expression, “no one is above the law” is not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution. The expression, however, is implied in the 14th Amendment. It states that “nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” This data is also reflected in the Massachusetts Constitution, which describes the government as “a government of laws and not of men”.

The code “no one is above the law” means that everyone, including government officials, is subject to the law and no one is exempt from its provisions. This code is essential for guaranteeing that the government operates within the bounds of the law and that all individuals are treated equally under the law.

Second:           Also, the United States, the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution provides that “no person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation”. This means that no one is above the law, and everyone is subject to the same legal system.

Trump was certainly an agent of the government during his presidency. He carried the title office of the presidency.

The President of the United States is the head of the executive branch of the federal government and serves as the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. The President is responsible for implementing and enforcing the laws written by Congress and, to that end, appoints the heads of the federal agencies, including the Cabinet 2. The President also has several other roles, such as chief diplomat, chief legislator, and chief of state.

I support global peace and personal security for all of humanity; consequently, I will support any one who supports humanity with their Words and their Deeds. It is an accepted fact that every country and all people in the world have a right to defend themselves. However, there is a central question that must be asked and must be answered. Specifically, when does a nation’s or an individual’s action cross over from proportionate legitimate defense to genocidal disproportionality?

My concept “Side Of Humanity”, is bounded by twin factors of morality and justice for all. Every person on this planet must be protected by international humanitarian laws and have their right to life respected. No nation or individuals can be exempted or be given a license to kill with impunity.

When it comes to protecting human rights, I will never allow IDEOLOGY nor IDIOTOLOGY undermine facts! I am a global Defender of Human Rights, and I will accept all people, regardless to race, creed, or religious background, or the color of their skin. Specifically, those who are willing to adhere to the principles of the Humanist. I believe in a progressive philosophy of life that affirms our ability and responsibility to ethics and equity.

I will not tolerate practices or methods of atrocities that include any of the following: Enslavement; Genocide; Murder; Massacres; Dehumanization; Human Experimentation; Extrajudicial Punishments/Killing; Collective Punishment; Military use of Children; Child Molestation; Human Trafficking; Kidnappings; Unjust imprisonment; Cannibalism; Torture; Rape; Racial, Political, or Religious Persecution; and any other Inhumane Acts.

As Global Citizens, We The People cannot allow HUMANITY and MORALITY to become discredited and delegitimized!

The Republicans forced a last-hour deal to fund the government in the last hours before the shutdown of the U.S. economy. Louser Donald Trump lost again. He had demanded his congressional Republicans sycophants to shout down the U.S. government; however, a bi-partisan group of adults within the U.S. Congress said no. Hence, Congress passed the funding bill. Now, children will be able to eat, childcare providers will be able to keep their doors open, the military and federal workers will be paid, and many other vital services will move forward. Message to the American people, every vote counts. As we approach the 2024 election, please understand that it really matters who we put in the seats in the Whitehouse and in Congress.

The American public is disgusted and dismayed with both the Democratic and Republican parties. What I want Americans of all parties to know is, we don’t have a professional or moral equivalency here. We have several members of the Republican party in Congress who act like silly little children. In every session of Congress, they spend their time grandstanding and performing, not governing.

I have voted in every election since I was eighteen years old. I have never seen so many low-IQ congressmen/Women since I began to participate in the electoral process. The way many of these child-like politicians proforma in Congress is an embarrassment to the nation. Most times it is difficult to determine what geopolitical interest they really support. One thing is for sure, their vote indicates that they are supporting entities that are clearly un-American.

I am not making a political statement, it is a serious statement, and the American people need serious elected officials representing their interests and work to increase the quality of life for all Americans.

There was a bipartisan 88-9 vote in the U.S. Senate. This came just hours before a midnight deadline. Earlier in the day, the U.S. House voted 335-91 for the stop-gap budget. Several Republicans voted to exclude funding for Ukraine in the Budget. I am in all regards an anti-war American; however, I do believe that the U.S. must continue to support Ukraine’s people’s fight for their democracy.

Some American people must WAKE UP and recognize that many members of the U.S. House Republicans are clearly controlled by a “shadow leader” who was not elected by the American people. NO One elected this individual who is only interested in his own narrow survival; the American people BE DAMNED.

In closing, our political leaders must realize that voting against funding Ukraine’s war efforts is the same as voting for Russia to continue the mass killing of innocent people. Consequently, if you don’t VOTE in the upcoming 2024 Presidential Election, you are voting for the other! Quite frankly, you giving a vote to someone that will not have your best interest at heart. You are giving your power away. The VOTE makes us all equal – One person, One Vote…

The American people must demand Congressional Republicans to stop playing partisan politics with the U.S. economy. Congress’s actions, or lack thereof, threaten all Americans.

Once again, Republicans in Congress appear to be on track to trigger another government shutdown on October 1, 2023. Non-serious Republicans in the House of Representatives will again stick their heads in the ground and do the dumb thing, not vote for the 12 appropriations bills required to support the government.

Government shutdowns can harm economic growth and certainty. The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations found that the “last three government shutdowns cost taxpayers nearly $4 billion. Shutdowns disrupted scientific research, services for veterans and seniors, and health and safety inspections by the Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the National Transportation Safety Board. A government shutdown may also cause another downgrade to the U.S. credit rating.

Government shutdowns also contribute to economic insecurity among federal workers. Americans will be unable to pay their monthly bills in full. Engaging in fiscal recklessness by Congressional Republicans delays the tough decisions and has actual costs for the budget, the economy, and everyday Americans. “Instead of governing by crisis, lawmakers should work together to create a long-term plan that addresses the growing mismatch between spending and revenue and puts us on a sustainable fiscal path.”

The Senate Appropriations Committee for fiscal year 2024 passed spending bills and sent the Committee’s final four bills for consideration by the full Senate. Once again, spineless Kevin McCarthy, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, must work with the House Minority Leader, Democrat Hakeem Jeffries, to protect the U.S. credit rating and the value of the dollar, and pass all 12 appropriations bills required to support the U.S. government ability to pay its’ bolls.

I understand that most of the rookie Congressional Republicans don’t understand the powers that the American people have granted them; however, the adults in the room must step forward and do the work of a REAL political leader – you don’t play games with the lives of the American people. More than half, or 58%, of all Americans, live paycheck-to-paycheck; therefore, we must call out every Congressional drama queen who continues to affect our financial existence negatively.

The U.S.A. is facing a National Security Threat. The fundamental threat to U.S. National Security originates from within the U.S. Republican Party, GOP Congressional Representatives, and Radicalized/Racialized MAGA domestic terrorists.

A Calculating Master Grifter and Manipulator (CMM) and his confident men/women hold the MAGA world and Friends as political, psychological, and economic hostages. Trump and his entourage of scam artists use pretense and deceptions to move MAGA money from economically struggling small donors’ pockets to their MAGA Bank accounts.

These Grifters have perfected the proficiency of convincing their MAGA Sycophants to hand over their hard-earned resources willingly and repeatedly. MAGA members are mesmerized by their leaders’ self-victimization Bus on which they are all hitching a ride. Guess what, these victims love every minute of this SH–.

The MAGA crowd robs themselves of their resources/money, and dignity as the wealthy professional grifter takes food from their children’s mouths. We would have to go back to the times of the Third Reich (1933–45) to find people so gullible and so willing to self-surrender their minds, bodies, and souls to a perverted kind of psychological dependency.

President Johnson’s statement was true in the 1960s and it is true in 2023. Many members of the MAGA crowd have been manipulated and are emptying their pockets resulting in jail time and moral bankruptcy. They suffer from a condition called Mental Bondage. Unless they engage other mainstream media sources for information, they will remain in a state of post-reality stress syndrome. Additionally, MAGA folks are Hooked on TvOne, Fox Business Network, One America News Network, and BlazeTV (etc.). MAGA folks are intolerant of the opinions and behaviors of others if they don’t align with theirs.

MAGA leaders generally portray themselves as victims of circumstances to gain pity or sympathy, evoke compassion, and get most MAGA Sycophants to act against their interests. The Calculating Master Manipulators (CMM) select their victims based on their predictable thought patterns, weaknesses, habits, practices, and ability to control their perception of reality! We must not forget that many of these greedy bloodsuckers perpetrate fraud as they undermine the U.S. national defense and security for self-gains.

The Calculating Master Manipulator CMM) has a mental and political padlock on the brains of the Republican Party. Every American and people worldwide know that the January 6 Capitol insurrection was a horrific demonstration of naked extreme lawlessness and thuggery. There have been many REAL Republicans that have attempted to break the chains of gullibility rapped around the MAGA flock necks to no avail.

The MAGA domestic terrorists who attacked the U.S. Capitol exhibited disrespect and self-rightfulness while damaging the U.S. international standing and negatively affecting the nation’s ability to get international support. MAGA media almost always misrepresent the truth; therefore, the so-called “True Social” represents a breadcrumb trail of ball-faced lies and mass deceit. MAGA Sycophants, unable to grasp the scale of the crisis engulfing.

Approximately 81 current or former U.S. military members face charges of participating in the January 6, 2021, mob attack on the U.S. Capitol that led Congress to temporarily halt its counting of the 2020 presidential election’s Electoral College votes.

Moreover, nearly 1 in 5 MAGA individuals charged over their affirmed involvement in the attack on the U.S. Capitol happen to have a military history. The fact that current or former U.S. military members, police officers, and a former FBI agent participated in the insurrection is exceptionally concerning and a disgraceful Nation Security Risk.

More than 80 MAGA defendants charged with the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol have ties to the U.S. military — most of those with a military background were veterans. These groups and many others attempted to disrupt the government from the inside.

Moreover, court records document that at least 11% were military veterans or current or former law enforcement officers, records show. Further, at least 124 people, about 14%, entered the Capitol with family members, and about 13% linked in court documents to extremist groups, including 48 Proud Boys and 30 Oath Keepers members. Based on readily available evidence, it is indisputably clear that far-right ideologies are synonymous with white racism.

The Republican MEGA denialists practice repudiating truth or legitimate facts despite substantial, actual, realistic, or irrefutable evidence. MAGA women continue to show their loyalty to Trump largely against their own interests. Instead of protecting women’s rights and issues, MAGA women practice a sick form of self-rejection and self-hatred. MAGA Republican women also embrace the politics of cruelty to break through the party’s glass ceiling. Cognitive dissonance is their excuse for ignoring the grim reality that they are worshiping a MAGA extremist maniac.

Let’s be clear: Africa is a very wealthy Continent. The Most High has blessed every State with abundant levels of Natural Resources. However, it is well-known that African people are “Poor by Design.” Africa has immense wealth that spreads throughout the continent. Africa’s wealth extends from the North to the South and from the East to the West.

The abundance of Natural Resources that Africa inherited must be used as the engine to ignite the economic growth of all African countries. Leaders unwilling to use these resources for the betterment of the African people must step aside and bring forth the natural leaders, not the appointed leaders, not the chosen leaders, but the leaders that are the people LEADERS. The leaders have one objective: to improve the quality of life for all BLACK AFRICAN PEOPLE.

Paradoxically, the continent of Africa has some of the economically poorest countries in the world while, conversely, having the most abundant natural resources in the world. One prominent case study is the Nation of Niger. Niger is considered one of the world’s poorest countries but has one of the world’s most significant deposits of very valuable yellow-cake uranium.

There are two uranium mines in Niger – SOMAIR, an open pit mine, and COMINAK, the largest underground uranium mine in the world, both owned by a French-led consortium and operated by French interests? The U.N. resolutions that give Africa “Permanent Sovereignty Over Natural Resources” must be enforced. The material wealth produced from Niger’s uranium mines belongs to the PEOPLE OF Niger, period!

Additionally, African nations must immediately cut the historical colonial yoke from around their collective necks. We must determine when and how Niger’s uranium mines came under French control. Who is responsible for signing the contracts that effectively put the natural resource of Niger in the French’s hands? Lastly, why aren’t they benefitting from their resources?

The U.N. General Assembly adopted Resolution 1803 (XVII), 2625 (XXV), 2158 (XXI), Resolution 3281, resolution 2158 (XXI), 2386 (XXIII) 3016 (XXVII) (etc.) Permanent Sovereignty Over Natural Resources and the Sanctity of Contract guarantees the inherent right of the people of a state “to freely use and exploit their natural wealth for their benefit.”

As stated above, African people are “Poor by Design.” Case in point: the world community is shamelessly aware that the Russian Wagner Group, a notoriously violent Russian Mercenary group, operates in several African countries with abject impunity. In every African State where the Wagner Mercenaries operate, they ROB the people of the “Permanent Sovereignty Over Natural Resources.” It is also a fact that individual African Dictators and other state actors benefit from the presence of the Russian Wagner Group.

Russia’s Wagner Mercenary group is involved in almost every military conflict on the continent of Africa. Since its 2017 arrival on the African continent, the Wagner Mercenaries have set-back African countries’ economic and social growth by years. They have done nothing to improve the quality of life for Africans. Their activities have served to strengthen dictators, destabilize democracies; perpetrate and intensify civil conflicts; murder innocent civilians, and exploit

Africa’s Natural Resources Are Not for Russia’s Gain

More importantly, documented evidence shows that the Wagner Mercenaries continue to commit widespread, wicked, and unchecked human rights abuses. Documented abuses include extrajudicial executions, genocidal mass rapes, and brutal human torture. Develop nations that consider themselves to be civilized and have a unique set of beliefs and values regarding right and wrong have a moral obligation to put an end to the Wagner Mercenaries’ atrocities against African peoples. Although Wagner’s leader Prigozhin, led his gang of thugs in a march on Moscow against the Putin regime, “Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said that Wagner would still operate in Africa.”

The sinister Russian mercenary Wagner group reportedly operates in Libya, Mozambique, Sudan, the Central African Republic, and Mali. “Mercenaries from the Russian Wagner Group have repeatedly committed serious human rights violations against civilians in the Central African Republic, among other places, according to the United Nations document.”

Moreover, mercenary groups in several African countries are amassing more significant legislative, economic, and national security power, threatening various countries’ sovereignty.

“In January 2023, the U.S. government designated Wagner as a significant transnational criminal organization.” The U.S., the U.N., and every entity above must take the next step and designate the Wagner as an international terrorist organization, freeze their assets, and eliminate them from the continent. Congressman Steven Horsford, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, must lead the effort to Get Russia’s Wagner Mercenaries the Hell Out Of Africa!

Today’s African leaders and future leaders must READ this Book: “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.” Author John Perkins writes, “Economic Hit Men are highly paid professionals fraudster manipulates countries out of trillions of dollars derive from Africa’s Natural Resources.” Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex, and murder.”

The following are the most powerful Private Mercenaries in the world.

  KBR.

  GK Sierra. …

  Aegis Defence Services. …

  Prosegur. …

  Triple Canopy. …

  Northbridge Services Group. …

  ICTS International. …

The U.N. General Assembly adopted Resolution 1803 (XVII); Resolution 2158 (XXI); Resolution 2625 (XXV), Resolution 2386 (XXIII; Resolution 3016 (XXVII, African Nations’ Permanent Sovereignty Permanent over its’d natural r4sources must be enfo9rce, period.

Russia’s Wagner Mercenaries – Get The Hell Out Of Africa

In January 1990, Nelson Mandela wrote: “The nationalization of the mines, banks, and monopoly industries is the policy of the ANC, and a change or modification of our views in this regard is inconceivable. Black economic empowerment is a goal we fully support and encourage, but in our situation, state control of certain sectors of the economy is unavoidable.”

There is no doubt that Nelson Mandela was an Honorable man. However, the Mandela that spent 27 years in South Africa’s prison under harsh, oppressive, and inhumane circumstances was not the same Mandela that walked out. He gave of himself in ways we will never really know; on the other hand, we do know that he gave his life to expand the quality of Black civilization.

The world will continue to honor this giant of a man; however, the Melaninated disenfranchised original inhabitants of  South Africa must examine the Economical way forward for the majority Black Population. I am referring to the earliest known natives that inhabited this land before the arrival of European settler colonists.

We know that South African Blacks successfully achieved a political revolution; however, the “Economic Revolution” is yet to be realized. We must examine what happened that caused the effort to end South Africa’s Economic Apartheid to go so wrong. What changed during the transition from the racist apartheid regime to the so-called new democracy that left the best land, the mines, manufacturing plants, and financial institutions in the hand of the minority whites?

The answer to this question begins and ends with the twin evils known as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank (WB). These criminal enterprises are the same global financial institutions that funded the apartheid government between the 1950s to early 1990s. The South African Apartheid government was sanctioned for its’ ruthless, wicked, and repressive actions against Black South Africans.

The IMF and World Bank coerced the new ANC government to abandon its fundamental position to nationalize mines, banks, and other strategic industries.  The ANC also abandoned its land redistribution policy outlined in its Freedom Charter. What is more incredible, to this very day, after 20+ years, the ANC transitional government is paying back loans taken out by the apartheid regime to oppress black people in South Africa.

Moreover, the ANC government was tricked into taking out a loan from the IMF for $850 million. The ANC government is still servicing the debt of billions annually, accumulating inflated interest yearly. The IMF loan caused an impediment to SA’s efforts to grow its economy and create jobs.

South Africa’s post-apartheid IMF loan also required the bulk of SA’s GDP to go toward repayment. Most of the “profits generated by mines and banks in post-apartheid South Africa are invested offshore. This was part of the conditions of the loan taken by the ANC government. Consequently, nothing is left to invest in South Africa’s indigenous people.

South Africa is now a nation in peril. Its’ youth, which constitutes 38% of the population, numbering more than 20 million, will not allow the blood of their ancestries spilled over 365 years of Apartheid to die in vain. South Africa’s unemployment rates are among the highest in the world, and the Black youth unemployment rate is the highest of all.

South Africa is a predominantly Black nation; however, its’ five wealthiest persons, all billionaires, are all white men. This is unsustainable, and I would like to take this opportunity to present a solution to this problem. My solution encompasses concepts put forward by the young Nelson Mandela: the nationalization of the mines, banks, and monopoly industries. However, my answer goes a bit further. I suggest that South African Blacks must demand that white South Africans and others provide them with proof that they purchased their lands from the original owners.

Those who cannot produce said legal documents showing that they purchased their land must relinquish ownership of the stolen land. Those that significantly improved the land can receive compensation; however, the land and its values must go into the public trust. It will become the people’s property and be used to improve the quality of life for all South African Aborigines. South African Blacks must never again allow themselves to adhere to threats by Bankers, corporate interests, and wealthy individuals. If minorities, whites, and others want to leave because of the new reality, show them the door.

Facts:

1) South Africa’s first census in a decade shows wealth disparities between race groups that persist 18 years after the end of Apartheid.

2) In South Africa, the wealthiest 10 percent of the population earns nearly 60 percent of the country’s total income.

3) In South Africa, virtually all the wealthy are white, and all the poor are black.

4) In South Africa, the white per capita income is nearly eight times that of blacks, according to the South African Institute of Race Relations.

5) The gap has certainly not gone unnoticed since the structure of the apartheid-era economy has remained largely intact.

6) About 80 percent of South Africa’s 51.8 million population are black, and nearly 18 million working-age South Africans are unemployed.

7) Nearly 20 years after democracy, income inequality has got worse, not better.

8) Income inequity seems to be promoting a new form of racism. White males, who control most industries, are being blamed for the continuing triple crisis of unemployment, inequality, and poverty” in South Africa.

9) The ANC has failed to expedite the post-apartheid economic redistribution of the country’s wealth.

10) As of today, South Africa, the biggest in Africa, is facing an urgent situation that is heightened by bold talk from angry youths, especially males, who are tired of empty promises.

It is deplorable that some of South Africa’s  ANC political leaders seem more concerned about who will be the next president than working to bring economic justice to its majority Black population.

South Africa’s Black elected government must not continue to partner with domestic and foreign agents that are presently using Africa s stolen treasures to live elegant lifestyles in their “Eiffel Towers ” at the same time, South African s Aborigines are struggling to get decent housing, clean water, and suitable medical care.

Consequently, South Africa s Aborigines must complete the economic revolution by demanding that compensation be provided for properties stolen from them in the lead-up and during the apartheid area.

A pivotal question must be answered; when South Africa’s Apartheid regime ended in 1994, why weren’t the stolen properties and wealth returned to South Africa s original people? To this day, why is the politically elected government in South Africa still protecting ill-gotten white wealth?

During the civil rights area, people tried to tell Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to slow down; his response was as follows, “We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. As African-Americans were in the 60’s, Black South Africans are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. There is no such thing as being too late in this unfolding conundrum of life and history. Black South Africans have no time for apathy or complacency. It is a time for vigorous and positive action.”

Immediate action is required of the African Union governments; hence, they must get on the right side of history. They are facing a “The Fierce Urgency” moment. Black political leaders cannot force Black children to wait another 50 to 100 years to benefit from the abundant natural resources and wealth in prosperous South Africa.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result. Insanity is precisely the path that the Black majority government has taken, and it’s time to get off the insanity wagon.

As I stated before, the UN resolutions below carry the Blueprints required to peacefully finish both South Africa’s humanitarian as well as its ECONOMIC Resolutions:

• The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in 1952 adopted Resolution 1803, and in 1962 adopted Resolution 1803, which entitled developing countries to Permanent Sovereignty over Natural Resources.

• Resolution 1803 was repeated in resolution 2158. This resolution declared that foreign investments, in particular as they can be helpful to improve the exploitation of natural resources, can be accepted. Still, domestic laws of the host State shall continuously regulate them.

• Resolution 3201 specified that states have full permanent sovereignty rights over their natural resources and give states the right to nationalize foreign property when necessary.

It is still time for South Africa’s Black leadership to regain its integrity and the trust of its majority Black population. International laws and moral laws are on their side, and it’s time for them to act with the “Fierce Urgency of Now.”

The United States has a few simple-minded confused Republican leaders who are putting the “Full Faith and Credit of the U.S. government at risk for no good reason. There is no plausible reason for Republicans not to approve a CLEAN debt ceiling increase period. They claim to be Patriots; however, if Congressional Republicans genuinely have love, devotion, and a sense of attachment to the Nation, they will raise the debt ceiling without obstructions as they have done many times before.

If the government hits the debt ceiling and exhausts all available extraordinary measures, it is no longer allowed to issue debt and will run out of cash soon after. At that point, given annual deficits, incoming receipts would be insufficient to pay millions of daily obligations as they come due. Consequently, the federal government will have to temporarily default on many obligations, from Social Security payments and salaries for federal civilian employees and the military to veterans’ benefits and utility bills, among others.

Let’s be clear, a default or even the perceived threat of a default will have profound negative economic implications on the U.S. global financial status. An actual default will inhibit economic growth, weaken fiscal flexibility, and increase the cost responsibility on future generations. An actual default will also disturb global financial markets and create chaos since domestic and international markets depend on the qualified economic and political stability of U.S. debt instruments and the U.S. economy.

A Republican self-imposed disaster will increase borrowing costs and tremendously damage the U.S. economy. If Republicans default on our debt, the U.S. interest rates will rise, demand for Treasuries will drop as investors stop or scale back investments in Treasury securities, and millions of Americans will lose their jobs. Moreover, the interest rate on all commodities will increase.

Before the Republican-led voluntary anti-debt ceiling insanity, the U.S. economy was vulnerable due to recent Bank failures. Congressional Republicans know that our two main adversaries, China and Russia, are cheering for their misguided, juvenile, and ill-advised debt ceiling threats. It makes you wonder just whose side Republicans are rooting for! One thing is for sure; they are not supporting the personal and economic INTERESTS of the American people. At this point, the only group that can pull Republicans back from the brink of disaster are their Donor Bosses!
