“In Case A 1987-Style Crash Happens Next”

The New American Digest Posted on April 6, 2025 by DTApril 6, 2025

The market crashed hard Thursday and Friday - it's all the talk of the town.

"It was a week for the history books: one where world records were broken left and right…"

The market crashed so hard, I made real good money on shorts and lost real good money on longs.

So like all good pundits, I'm going to make a market prediction for tomorrow.
Nothing but absolute truth here for you, folks...

The market is going to continue its downward slide.

Unless it goes up.

Or sideways.

Or shuts down entirely.

I absolutely, 100%, your money back, unconditionally guarantee it.

The Brits … Oh My

The New American Digest Posted on April 5, 2025 by DTApril 5, 2025

source: Epoch Times via ZeroHedge

"New UK Internet Policing Law Targets US Online Forums"

Online forums based in the United States that rely on First Amendment protections are getting caught up in internet regulations in the UK, where they now risk being blocked under recent legislation.

Under the OSA (Online Safety Act), sites that allow user interaction, including forums, must have completed an illegal harm risk assessment by March 16 and submitted it to Ofcom by March 31.

All together now ...

Dear British Government:

This site has had visitors from the UK ...

There's more to the story of course.

History Rhyming With Itself

The New American Digest Posted on April 5, 2025 by DTApril 5, 2025

"DNC Chair Announces Democrats Are Launching a Shadow Government Called the ‘People’s Cabinet’ to Sabotage Trump’s Agenda"

As I recall, the Democrats did something similar a few generations ago ...

I also recall it didn't end well for them that time.

Might be different this time.

Why I Can’t Be Christian

The New American Digest Posted on April 3, 2025 by DTApril 3, 2025

"Awful Tragedy: 16-Year-Old Track Star Austin Metcalf Fatally Stabbed by Rival Athlete During Championship Meet, Dies in His Twin Brother’s Arms — 17-Year-Old Charged with First-Degree Murder"

Jeff Metcalf, the victim's father:
“You know what, I already forgive this person,” he added. “Already. God takes care of things. God is going to take care of me. God is going to take care of my family.”

I was raised that a Christian is capable of forgiveness. The father is stronger in faith than I.

I am not capable of nor desire the capability of such forgiveness - God might; I can't, I won't even try. But what of the concept of Hell if not for acts such as this?

I would seek ... revenge? retribution? vengeance?
Had this been my child, I would act to put this POS at the head of the line for God's judgement. Or if nothing else, elimination from the gene pool.

I notice later reports have removed the murderer's picture ... but it's of the culture one has come to expect.

I Wasn’t Paying Attention To The Time

The New American Digest Posted on April 1, 2025 by DTApril 1, 2025

"The Who frontman Roger Daltrey is going blind and deaf at 81"

Tommy is real ... who'd a thought it? But how can Roger Daltry be 81?

81?????

That must mean ... no, not really? That must mean I'm not in my 20s!

No wonder the 19yo girls laugh at me ... not that that has changed.

Gerard's Last Post
(posthumous): Feb 4, 2023
"So Long. See You All a Little Further Down the Road"

When my body won’t hold me anymore
And it finally lets me free
Where will I go?
Will the trade winds take me south through Georgia grain?
Or tropical rain?
Or snow from the heavens?
Will I join with the ocean blue?
Or run into a savior true?
And shake hands laughing
And walk through the night, straight to the light
Holding the love I’ve known in my life
And no hard feelings

Avett Brothers - No Hard Feelings

The Feral Irishman

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man,
play a song for me
I'm not sleepy
and there ain't no place I'm goin' to

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man,
play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning,
I'll come followin' you

Take me for a trip upon
your magic swirling ship
All my senses have been stripped
And my hands can't feel to grip
And my toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'

I'm ready to go anywhere,
I'm ready for to fade
Unto my own parade
Cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it


Men who saw night coming down about them could somehow act as if they stood at the edge of dawn.


From Gerard's site. The picture always caught my eye.
