Trump’s erratic/bizarre behavior WILL bring the economy down (eventually)!! This year IMO!
So far Trump’s erratic behavior has been relatively benign as he and Bessent have been able to manipulate the markets with sanctions and bond buying from surplus Treasury cash. All this will end soon and then the economic situation will worsen significantly. I have been watching the recent new attacks on Iran with concern. These American attacks will cause counter-attacks from Iran. The new tariffs on Canada will also be detrimental for American consumers.
This continuing escalation in the American military actions will eventually cause major harm to the American and the world economy. I am sensing that Trump’s bizarre behavior is causing his pole numbers to decline daily. As I write, the overall approval rating for Trump is down (34% approval). This downward trend is likely to continue as most Americans do not approve of Trump’s war mentality or his desire to manipulate our financial markets. All this erratic behavior (by Trump) is viewed as negative for consumer prices, inflation, and our need for lower interest rates.
I expect Trump will lose the coming Mid-term elections on November 3. Congress will then be in the control of the Democrats and the support for Trump and his political policies will wane and crash. Trump is likely to be a lame-duck President come November, 2026. His MAGA support is declining as Tucker Carlson has flipped and so has Marion Taylor Green. Prior supporters are flipping as they sense that Trump’s policies are mostly lies and exaggerations. I have been saying this for months.
This Iran war is a losing proposition for America. America is running out of military ammunition and this means that Iran will not bow to America’s interests going forward. Trump needs to surrender and step down from POWER IMO. He is obviously mentally ill and this result is becoming known to the many as time continues. His war mentality has created this downfall for the Trump administration IMO. Most world leaders think that his behavior is bringing America to its knees (economically and militarily).
The Ukraine war is another negative for America. Trump is now abandoning support for Zelensky and my sense is that this will continue. Zelensky will need to get his support from Europe if he is to continue this war with Russia. But Europe is suffering economically from this war situation. Gas prices are increasing and European inflation is increasing. All this is seriously negative for Europe and their support for the Ukraine war situation. The people of Britain, France, and Germany are all losing support for this war. Voters will likely remove their leaders as time goes forward. So will Russia win this war with Ukraine?
My sense is that Russia MAY win. As I write Kiev is being bombed daily. Supplies of consumer goods are declining as warehouses are being bombed throughout the metropolitan area. Zelensky is attempting to counter this destruction with his own Drone warfare. But his success is waning as I write. The economy of Ukraine is now the problem. Odessa is suffering as the PORTS get shut down. The front line war is favoring Russia as I write. Most of Donbas is now in the control of Russia. The other front-line territories are trending toward Russia and their military. The situation is DIRE for Ukraine IMO.
The sanction policies that the Trump administration is attempting to use are not effective. Russia and China are helping Iran survive economically and militarily. The Trump sanctions will fail IMO and this means that America will fail. We have a leader who appears mentally ill. His actions are erratic and bizarre. World leaders are ignoring his actions and his market manipulations. All this means that America is in serious trouble going forward. The consequences will emerge at some point (likely in 2026). Watch the markets and then make your own assessments. The above are mine…and the trends are now ominous for America and the world. This website shows the trends: http://www.usdebtclock.org.
The current policies of Treasury Secretary, Bessent, and Donald Trump are seriously ineffective. Our financial markets are likely to deteriorate going forward.

Theology: Who rules over planet Earth? Which God is real and which are FAKE? Let’s review the clear EVIDENCE!
My study and research has revealed that 95% of the worshiped God’s on planet Earth are actually invalid/fake. The counterfeit God’s rule within the ‘minds’ of most believers and the REAL Source/God is ignored. Religion seems to promote fake God’s that the people accept…even as the REAL God is rarely mentioned. This situation is DIRE and we need new education so as to understand why this situation is prevalent!
Let’s first discuss some of the fake God’s which our many false religions promote. These God’s get accepted by the public as they are easy on our morals/worship/character. But they are not going to bring this planet any ‘salvation’ that is meaningful. We need to start thinking about WHO is the real SOURCE/Intelligence which governs our universe/planet! A list of our fake/invalid God’s are as follows (according to my study/research):
- The God of Pope Leo XIV is fake/invalid for bringing this world any real change. This God is promoted by some 2.1 billion Catholics who follow their Pope and his authority as if he knows reality for everyone. Catholic theology started after the Council of Nicaea, 325 AD. The God of Catholics is this God that was ‘invented’ by Constantine and his 318 Bishops at Nicaea. Jesus (now dead since 33 AD) was exalted to Godhood and eventually made EQUAL with the Father (the historical God of Israel). Catholics worship Jesus, the mother of Jesus (Mary), and various Saints! It’s all a false belief system IMO and after some 1700 years of practice has led mostly to confusion and scandals.
- Another false God is this Trinitarian God of some 45,000 Protestant denominations (called the Christian God). Some 2.6 billion followers seem to view this God as valid and real. But this God continues to fail humanity and the Kingdom cannot arrive with any worship of this God. Lutherans, Baptists, Presbyterians, plus others, worship this God called the Trinitarian God (three God person’s and a Godhead). The theology make no sense (logically) and many are now fleeing this false God of Christianity. Jesus was a human Jew, not God. Americas founding fathers (Jefferson, Adams, Franklin) rejected this theology promoted by Orthodox Christianity! Religion has NOT comprehended the God which rules our universe or our planet!
- The Gods of India, China, Russia, and most of Africa also are mostly fake and invalid God’s. Another 2 billion or more seek reality from these false Gods. Worship is ubiquitous even as spiritual results are minimal. This means that some six to seven billion people on planet Earth seem to prefer false/fake/invalid Gods for their reality. Why do so few critical thinkers not discover the REAL God of history. The God who revealed himself to mankind with clear evidence (his voice) at Mount Sinai? Why the disconnect?
- Finally, the God which appeared in a vision to Mohammad around 610 AD is viewed as a valid God and some 1.6 billion Muslims do view this God as the God of our universe/planet. But this God is rejected by most people on planet Earth and the Holy Book (associated with this God) is viewed as problematic for most believers! The title/name of this God is Allah. Sects within Islam differ on the details of this God and his effect on the future of planet Earth. So WHO is the REAL God/Source that rules over planet Earth and our greater universe? Let’s discover this REAL God!!!
The best evidence that I have discovered is the God of Mount Sinai. This God actually spoke to some 2 million Israelites, around 1446 BCE. This God gave mankind a Moral Code, called the 10 Commandments, for continuing guidance and character beliefs. This God has left us evidence of his acts and his reality. The Ark of the Covenant (containing these 10 Commandments) was available for some 900 hundred years for mankind to contemplate. It disappeared around 586 BCE when Babylon sacked Jerusalem. Some think it will reappear during these Last Days. Some say the Ethiopian empire holds this Ark in the city of Aksum. Anyway, it was this Ark and the forever Covenant (from this God of Sinai) which provides us clear evidence that this is the REAL GOD over planet Earth and our greater Universe! Wow 😮.
The ‘name’ or ‘title’ of this invisible God is often referred to as YHWH (the tetragrammaton). Theologians will try to pronounce this invisible God with the name Yahweh and/or Jehovah. Also the words ‘I AM WHO I AM’ is also used to refer to this God of planet Earth and our greater universe. In our New Testament scripture, this God is usually referred to as FATHER GOD. Yeshua/Jesus used the word ABBA to refer to this God. Yes, Yeshua Jesus did worship his God. Religion has attempted to make the historical Yeshua (the human being) as an equal to his personal God! WOW 😳.
So, my study/research says that we have CLEAR evidence that there is a GOD which rules over our planet/universe and who acts (invisibly) to intervene in human affairs (at precise times and seasons). This God is NOT a religious God. The only real words from this God that I can rely upon are the words within our 10 Commandments. America was founded upon the reality of this God and our Declaration of Independence is the evidence that our founding Fathers viewed this God as our King and CREATOR. Thomas Jefferson said this God was SELF-evident to thinking/observing persons. Nature reveals the intelligence and reality of this God. Personal reflection reveals the evidence of this God/Creator!
A song that I like which promotes this God for everyone to consider is the following song. Listen and think about the WORDS sung.
Listen to the Words and think about the evidence which we all have that reveals that this is the God for planet Earth and our greater Universe! This is the God of reality! The Gods of religion are mostly false/fake/invalid/impotent!!! That is the result of my study/ research!

Grim/Dire/War News! Ukraine on fire, Zelensky to counter-attack, Russia to eliminate economic survival for Ukraine!
As I warned yesterday, the war situation is now escalating to a level where WW III could be the talk of the planet within days! As I write, Russia is bombing Ukraine, explosions everywhere in Kiev. Kiev citizens may need to evacuate along with Western diplomats. The situation is grim and dire for the people of both Ukraine and some of Russia (say Moscow).
Putin is now assuming control over the military situation within Ukraine. The front-line military conflict is escalating with Russia mostly winning over the retreating Ukrainians. The Donbas is the goal of Russia along with destroying the ‘decision center’ area within Kiev. Warehouses are on fire and food supplies will be next. The common people will suffer as the political WARMONGERS (Zelensky and Putin) fight to the final end. All is grim for the citizens and the general public.
Trump’s envoy to Russia, John Ratcliffe, set the table for this war with his visit to Moscow last Tuesday. Trump was aware that Putin was going to escalate. The mindset of Putin is to end this war as he and his administration have ZERO trust that negotiations can work. The end must come via a military battle that destroys Ukraine and some of Moscow and their oil refineries. Will this lead to NATO getting involved? This is likely even as it is unlikely that the Ukraine/Russia war will immediately challenge the leaders within NATO. Trump is busy with his Iran war and Netanyahu is pushing the emotional buttons of Trump so that this war does not end. It’s all ABSURD, DIRE, GRIM, and ludicrous!
My sense is that all this will LEAD to the beginning of WW III. Prophecy says (so I assume) that war is the FINAL end result of our Tribulation Period. This period of tribulation is what MUST happen if the Kingdom Age is to arrive. There must be more war, destruction, killing, and Ego insanity for our planet. Our political leaders are mostly insane and living with mental delusions (my view). I see the evidence with America’s leader, Donald John Trump, and it is present with all the other political leaders also! All must attempt to WIN (over their internal ego’s)! This is not going to work even as these leaders attempt to attain their ego-maniac delusions. It’s all shameful and spiritually defeating for the common man.
Is it time to get involved in stopping this ego-maniacal behavior? Is it time to develop a mindset of promoting Peace and a New Model for planet Earth? Blessed are the ‘peacemakers’ is the message within scripture. War will NOT bring us peace. Ego satisfaction (false political winning by our leaders) will NOT bring us peace and justice. The problems are now needing to be solved by NON-VIOLENT means. The End (war) is futile for bringing our world peace and security. We need a NON-VIOLENT means!
Watch the news this next week as this war in Ukraine is escalating to a grim/dire level. This will lead to more insanity within our political establishments. Trump and his administration may escalate their war over Iran. Netanyahu is behind all this with his insane mindset. Christian Zionism is behind this with their insane backing of Israel at the expense of the common people (the common Jews and Christians who desire peace). A FEW leaders with inordinate POWER are causing all this destruction for the human race. Power leads to a desire for MORE power. Wealth leads to a desire for MORE wealth. It’s all a vicious cycle that will bring on the TRIBULATION in 2027. But think for yourself on all these issues of life. I must do likewise!

America’s CIA Director, John Ratcliffe, was recently in Russia to secretly deal with the collapse of Ukraine! It now appears that Russia has taken off their war gloves to escalate this war! The Ports in Odessa are now mostly closed and this is making the economic situation in Ukraine unbearable. The export and import of Ukrainian products is being restricted by this policy of closing the Sea Ports around Odessa.
Russia is now acting with purpose to END this war with Ukraine. Can Ukraine counter with purpose and effectiveness? My sense is NO. They can use their DRONES to destroy various refineries and retail warehouses. But all this is causing Russia to use new strategies to counter this action. Escalation is the goal of the Russian military and we could witness Kiev being bombed this weekend. The situation (economically) is getting DIRE for Ukraine and America’s CIA Director is attempting to ameliorate this situation. Will it work?
I do not think that Russia will let up on their war efforts as Putin is in trouble (politically) if this war does not end soon. Russia has the military personnel to create a huge escalation so as to destroy the Ukrainian economy and kill the leaders in Kiev (if necessary). The USA wants this war over as Trump must deal with the Iran war (primarily). My sense is that America’s CIA Director went to Moscow so as to try and solve this soon coming escalation by Russia. Watch the news this weekend as it looks (to me) that this war will be in the front page news this weekend.
Zelensky is refusing to compromise his goals and negotiate a settlement with Russia. Zelensky wants to continue the war even as he is losing control daily. The end of Zelensky is on the horizon IMO. His goals cannot be achieved as Russia is much to powerful (militarily). Ukraine has survived because of Trump and NATO. But Trump is now abandoning Ukraine and NATO is losing its effectiveness as the real problem is now ENERGY (for the nations of Europe). Energy (gas, etc.) is declining for all of Europe and this means that help from Russia is needed.
Watch Germany for signs of changes in their energy policies. Why did John Ratcliffe, America’s CIA Director, fly to Moscow on Tuesday to deal with the issue of Ukraine? My sense is that this meeting with Putin and the leaders of Russian intelligence was to stop the continuing escalation of Russian military actions in Ukraine. This escalation has produced a dire economic situation for Ukraine. Trump wants this war over as he is now unable to continue his support for Ukraine (financially). America is having a serious problem with their BONDS as many Asian countries are dumping America bonds on the global markets. This is producing HIGHER interest rates and Trump wants this to stop. Secretary of Treasury, Scott Bessent, is now buying BONDS so as to prevent any increase in the 10 year Treasury interest rates. It’s all getting seriously dire for America and the Ukraine war must now be ENDED. But Russia is unlikely to cooperate with Trump’s ideas on this war. Russia is winning this war and the Russian army is advancing!
Let’s watch events this weekend as it seems to me that some major escalation is coming. Zelensky will not be capable of countering this escalation as America and NATO are losing confidence/support in the leadership within Ukraine. War is causing serious problems for all nations on this planet but America is especially in trouble as Trump must win the Mid-terms if he is to remain in POWER. Watch world events this weekend! Something BIG is brewing IMO!

Capitalism: neither America nor the World operates via this philosophy! Fox News is totally wrong!
The philosophy of Capitalism started with the writings of Adam Smith (1776) and his book the Wealth of Nations. Smith noticed that private enterprises and private competition produced the greatest WEALTH for any nation. He advocated NO government interference within the Capitalistic economic system. But all this is history today! American does NOT operate via Capitalism and neither does any nation on our planet (today)!
The philosophy of Capitalism ended in 1971 (Nixon’s closing of the gold window) and then completely in 2008 (the world financial crisis). Today, is August 25, 2026 and our entire planet operates with a philosophy of government favoritism, government debt, and government subsidies. America’s ‘national’ debt is over $40 trillion. The world debt bomb is over $200 trillion. Our currencies are now digital/virtual and based upon nothing but computer entries (which gets entered by human authorities within our Central Banking System). There is no real reference point for VALUE (the price of products which emerges from private competition). All is FAKE and illusionary and few of our Media or Political pundits comprehend these realities. Fox News continues to act as if Capitalism is our system for America. This mindset is outdated and totally invalid.
Today, Trumpism is dominant within the American economic arena. A controlled Socialism is dominant in most of Europe and a form of Fascism is dominant within most of the African and Asian nations. Actually, I would call Trumpism a form of Fascism. This political ruler manipulates the prices of OIL and many other basic commodities (daily). Trumpism is now promoting a false Capitalism for the Mid-term elections. His opponents are promoting a mindset of Democratic Socialism (and also Democratic Communism). Whatever that is! Listen to Bernie Sanders, AOC, Kamala Harris, and Elisabeth Warren for their concepts of reality (it’s all fake and PHONY to those who comprehend reality).
There is NO Capitalism on planet Earth (today). We now have some 3,428 billionaires who control most of the WEALTH on planet Earth. Some 12 billionaires own more WEALTH than the bottom 50%. Wealth disparity is the result which government favoritism has produced for this planet. In Arizona, some 22% of retired people (over 66) are classified as living in poverty. Poverty is growing worldwide and wealth disparity is producing this result. America has over 1,000 billionaires (who gain some 12% compound growth in their wealth annually). All is a result of banking policies and government policies (mostly since 1971 and especially since 2008). See this website for the math: http://www.usdebtclock.org.
Our world system operates under Fascism, Socialism, and Communism today. Trumpism is a form of Fascism (when understood). There is NO private enterprise which is INDEPENDENT of Government. The Adam Smith Capitalism which started in 1776 and continued until 1971 is totally OVER. Fox News is promoting illusion and lies to their listeners. So is CNN and all the other government controlled MEDIA on this planet. All is illusion, lies, and fake concepts which ended YEARS in our past!
Vote for the KINGDOM AGE and for our CREATOR’S economic system going forward. This is the ONLY system which will bring this planet real freedom, justice, happiness, and prosperity (for everyone). America is now operating with a heretical political system. It is destined to FAIL big time. Probably the end will be recognized this year (2026). Watch the fake markets for signs of a crash. Today’s systems are fake, phony, illusionary, and FALSE! Wake-up and think for yourself.
The Kingdom Age is the next real political/economic system for planet Earth. This is prophecy and this is our Creator’s plan for our planet IMO. Money will be eliminated from planet Earth. What is ‘money’ in reality? Where is it? Give this some thought at your leisure! Mankind is mostly living in a ‘fools’ paradise! It’s all fake and PHONY!

P.S. Vikings discovered America 471 years prior to Columbus! Wow!
Centuries before Columbus, Viking explorers had already reached America. Groundbreaking scientific dating proves they occupied North America exactly in the year 1021 AD.
Long before Christopher Columbus made his historic landfall, Norse explorers led by figures like Leif Erikson had already established a foothold in North America.
Settling at L’Anse aux Meadows in modern-day Newfoundland, Canada, the Vikings constructed a temporary overwintering camp and ship-repair station 1,000 years before researchers finally unlocked its timeline.
While ancient Norse sagas had detailed these daring voyages for centuries, physical proof was only unearthed in 1960, leaving historians to debate the precise timing of their transatlantic crossing.
In 2021, scientists solved the mystery using advanced radiocarbon dating on wooden artifacts discarded at the site. By identifying a global radiocarbon spike in tree rings caused by a massive cosmic-ray storm in 992 AD, researchers counted the remaining rings to the bark edge of trees felled with metal tools. The results pinpointed the exact year of Norse presence to 1021 AD—the earliest known crossing of the Atlantic and a defining moment in global human connection.
