A new NBC News poll shows that the Democratic Party’s popularity has dropped to a record low. Only 27% of registered voters said they held positive views of the party — the lowest figure in the network’s polling dating to 1990. Former President Joe Biden continue to delude himself that he could have beat Trump. He recently told the Democratic leaders he’d raise funds, campaign, and campaign for Democrats to recover lost ground as the Trump administration is gutting the waste in government everyone said needs to be done but then file countless lawsuits to prevent the cuts.

It’s always a Constitutional Crisis to object to whatever the Democrats support. Our computer has forecast that the Democratic Party will split and collapse just as the Federalists did for pretty much the same reason – dictatorial power from a centralized government. Schummer is admitting that they have not only engaged in the lawsuits against Trump to influence the election, but they have been stuffing the courts to re-interpret the Constitution to be PROGRESSIVE, which was a movement that lost back in 1913

It was the “Progressive” Movement that passed the 16th Amendment to tax the rich, which ended up taxing everyone. Then they hand you a refund check and never pay interest,t borrowing from the poor and middle class for free. Their rhetoric to target the rich only fills their own pockets. How do they leave the office with millions of dollars on a public salary?

Roosevelt also sought to stuff the Supreme Court with his cronies to redefine the Constitution with the Marxist slant of Progressiveness. He was stopped. But he also devalued the dollar, confiscated gold, all to fund his Socialist New Deal, and officially recognized Joseph Stalin as the new head of a Communist State.

The real Constitutional Crisis has been the Democrats. They have sought to impose dictatorial rule even on Abortion, knowing that this offends many and their religion. The Supreme Court UPHELD the intent of the Constitution. Remember the state’s rights? The Democrats do not believe in state rights. They want dictatorial control, and the Supreme Court has failed in its obligation to preserve the state’s rights. What it did with Abortion was to hand it back to the states where, under the Constitution, what should have taken place.

Like the Department of Education imposing centralized commands stripping states of the Due Process of Law. Parents have no rights in local education when they are dictated from Washington. What is the purpose of having state governments if Washington can overrule various local policies? Under the law, someone robs a WaWa, which is not a federal crime but a local one. To be FEDERAL, it has to be Mafia, Secuties, or involving murder involving drugs.

Kamala’s comment that you are at the wrong rally demonstrated this centralized dictatorial policy. That was saying to the Bible Belt – screw you. Your religion means nothing.  Bernie Sanders’s show with the singer rejecting Gold is so out of touch with the central core of Americans; they embrace every fringe idea and, as Maher said, they are ridiculous, and he is a Democrat. That is why the Democratic Party will become extinct. The Democrats peaked with our model in 2021 with that election, and we have been in a bearish decline for 5 years into 2026. They do not appear viable any longer by the time we reach 2030. We may see a split for any election in 2028, fragmenting the political process.

Many people have written in and are shocked that even the forecast I delivered at the 2024 WEC in Orlando was that the Democrats were collapsing and the party would no longer exist. They are amazed how the computer put that forecast out long before anyone even thought about the issue. The Democrats are so entrenched in their fringe nonsense that they will NEVER admit a mistake, and the problem they see is that the American people are confused – not them.

Even the Hill, a left-wing biased news organization,  commented:

“Continuing Democratic divisions from Washington’s recent funding fight show their party is disintegrating. Its fissures run between the House and Senate, between their base and their elected leaders, between establishmentarians and ideologues, and between generations.”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is finally becoming an honest politician. First, he openly told Americans that he believed they were greedy for questioning taxation. Then, he admitted on live TV that the Democrats intentionally weighted the courts with judges in a direct attempt to beat Donald Trump. Will he admit that they played a role in Trump’s assassination attempts next?

“There are those who believe that we are, in real-time, living through an assault on the constitutional order. Do you believe that we are in a constitutional crisis right now?” the host asked.

“Yes,” Schumer responded, adding, “Our democracy is at risk because Donald Trump shows that he wishes to violate the laws in many, many different ways. Then Schumer said what we all suspected out loud: “The good news here is, we did put 235 judges—progressive judges, judges not under the control of Trump—last year on the bench, and they are ruling against Trump time after time after time.”

It is beyond hypocritical for these corrupt lawmakers to claim Trump is the one putting our democracy at risk. The new democrats of today cannot stand US democracy because they have no authoritative power when the people have a voice. Schumer said he hopes these judges will overturn Trump’s rulings again and again. Progressive judges have already forced funds to continue flowing to the National Institute of Health, they pushed back against defunding USAID, and attempted to prevent migrants from being deported. At every turn, Democrat-installed political activists posing as judges are overruling the president.

These people have no respect for US democracy or law and order. These partisan, dishonorable judges are incapable of ruling impartially. They gained their position by playing dirty for the Dems, and now there are over 100 cases open against the people, and not directly aginst Trump, as the people of the United States voted for Trump and the policies he represents. All 235 judges are attempting to block Trump at every turn because they’d rather see the nation burn to the ground than a successful Trump presidency, especially since many of these rulings are undoing the damage caused by the former autopen president’s administration.

All 235 judges are not abiding by the Constitution that they have sworn to uphold and should be impeached as they are unable and unwilling to rule unbiasedly. The left is openly manipulating public policy and committing crimes in plain sight. So far, according to Schumer who cannot keep his foot out of his mouth, the Democrats have “won” 87% of cases against Trump. He admitted that the Democrats have paid off thousands of activists to work on “defeating the president.” They certainly do not want to reduce government or give power to the states because progressive policies are not popular with the American people. The Democrats are especially offended by DOGE because they did not want the people to see how recklessly they have spent our tax dollars on useless programs and NGOs that funnel back into their personal wallets.

The media says Trump is a dictator for demanding that these judges vacate their positions immediately. The Supreme Court needs to get involved here. Not only should the judges be impeached, but the swamp character like Schumer who have discarded the rule of law do not belong in office. When judges are immune and above the law, impossible to impeach, and they cannot be fired for life like a monarch, there can be no actual rule of law. Judges will interpret the law how they like to support their political agenda. Our American legal system has to be just scrapped. These are jobs that could and should be lost to AI.

Numerous nations are warning their citizens not to travel to the United States ahead of the busiest months for tourism. These are not true travel warnings but fabricated suggestions to deter people from visiting the United States for political reasons. These “advisories” are making worldwide headlines as the world turns its back on America.

Globalist leaders disagree with America’s policy of securing the border. “A criminal conviction in the United States, false information regarding the purpose of stay, or even a slight overstay of the visa upon entry or exit can lead to arrest, detention, and deportation upon entry or exit,” Germany’s foreign ministry stated. Yet, anyone visiting a foreign nation must meet these same requirements and could be denied entry for an array of reasons.

Three German citizens were separately denied entry in recent weeks, and their stories made worldwide headlines. This is standard operating procedure, as these travelers had incorrect papers. The same instance happened with a woman from the United Kingdom who was denied entry for having an incorrect visa. Again, none of this is new or a cause for concern.

Still, the United Kingdom issued a warning to potential travelers. “You should comply with all entry, visa and other conditions of entry. The authorities in the U.S. set and enforce entry rules strictly. You may be liable to arrest or detention if you break the rules,” the guidance reads. Precisely—you must abide by the rules to gain access to a foreign nation.

Denmark’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also issued a travel advisory for the United States but for a different reason. The United States now requires passport holders to state their assigned sex at birth—male or female—on their record. There are only two options, and yes, this is a safety concern. Someone could easily create a fake identity to enter on illegal grounds. Customs officers must see identification that matches the person in front of them. Denmark is now warning citizens that they could face discrimination.

Other nations like Canada have unofficially advised citizens to take precautions when visiting the United States.

The World Travel & Tourism Council’s (WTTC) 2024 Economic Impact Research found that the tourism sector added $2.36 trillion to US GDP in 2023, a 7% increase from the year before. Over 18 million Americans are employed in this crucial sector.

These advisories are not intended to protect the people. There is no danger in visiting the United States. In fact, Europe has increased its entry requirements more so than the United States, but Trump derangement syndrome has spread like a pandemic.

Good news for the people of Mississippi—lawmakers have finally removed the state income tax. Mississippi is now joins Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Washington, Texas, and Wyoming in eliminating this excessive and predatory taxation practice.

The first income tax was created in 1861 during the Civil War as a mechanism to finance the war effort. In addition, Congress passed the Internal Revenue Act in 1862, which created the Bureau of Internal Revenue, an eventual predecessor to the IRS. The Bureau of Internal Revenue placed excise taxes on everything from tobacco to jewelry. However, the income tax did not last and was not renewed in 1872. In the Springer v. United States 102 US 586 (1881), the Supreme Court upheld the income tax.

The origin of the current income tax on individuals is generally cited as the passage of the 16th Amendment, passed by Congress on July 2, 1909, and ratified February 3, 1913. It was on June 16, 1909, President William Howard Taft, in an address to the Sixty-first Congress, proposed a two percent federal income tax on corporations by way of an excise tax and a constitutional amendment to allow the previously enacted income tax.

Once this Marxist concept of direct taxation was created, then the government must know everything we do, track us for it assumes we all cheat and lie, and in the process, it is hunting money globally to the point that world economic growth has been declining.

Those against Mississippi eliminating the income tax are proponents of big government. They are concerned that the lost revenue will hurt the public sector and low-income residents will be disproportionately burdened as other taxes are likely to rise. Yet, eliminating the income tax will directly lead to Mississippians receiving a larger take-home pay. Businesses, especially small businesses, end up taking on this tax as is passed through from entities to the individual owner who is unable reinvest those funds into his or her company. Businesses will now have the ability to become more competitive and attract a more desirable workforce.

The state has until 2037 to determine how to manage its budget without robbing its citizens and punishing workers. Income tax will fall from 4% to 3% in 2027 and then will see a 0.3% reduction until it is eliminated entirely.

Income tax is a relic of failed economic policies that governments refuse to abandon because it gives them direct control over the wealth of the people. When you tax income, you reduce incentives to work, invest, and innovate. Governments use the tax as a reason to continue perpetual spending that always leads to deficits. States do not need this tax to function. States need to operate within their means to function without punishing the people for fiscal mismanagement.

COMMENT: Marty, Cheer up. They are coming for you!

Gene

REPLY: Well, I can’t outrun that many. Hopefully, one is interested in financial markets. Then maybe. When I went to a new doctor, she asked if I was vaccinated, and I said, “NO!” She replied, “Good!“ She worked last at the VA and quit over government policy.

QUESTION: I think you commented that Jessica Aber was involved in a Biden prosecution scam. She was found dead after resigning when Trump won. Is there any connection?

LM

ANSWER: Yes. She was the pawn in the White House’s novel attempt to prosecute Russians for alleged war crimes in Ukraine when there was no jurisdiction whatsoever. This was a political prosecution by the Neocons for more hatred of Russians. Assuming that there was a crime, then that was something that should have been prosecuted at the Hague. Why did Jessica D. Aber of the Eastern Direct of Virginia bring this prosecution announced by the White House and Garland?

So now, does Virginia have the jurisdiction to prosecute crimes worldwide? That violates the Sixth Amendment, which prohibited the practice of the king charging you with a crime in America but transporting you to London to stand trial, where you could never call any witnesses. This is what they were doing. It was AN OUTRIGHT violation of our Constitution and International Law.

Is this a neocon-staged suicide? She was only 43. Who knows. Will we ever know the truth? Probably not.

COMMENT: Marty, Here in Alaska, we have been put on alert that Mt Spurr may erupt soon. Your computer has been remarkable projecting these trend of rising volcanic activity here in 2025 and we are still in the first quarter. Do you have any historical analysis of Mt. Spurr?

Rob

REPLY: Mount Spurr, a stratovolcano in Alaska’s Aleutian Arc, had no confirmed historical eruptions that have been documented in human records prior to its significant 1953 eruption. However, geological studies reveal prehistoric activity:

1. Holocene Eruptions:
   • The most recent major eruptive period occurred approximately 8,000–9,000 years ago, involving pyroclastic flows and lava dome formation that shaped the current structure of the volcano. These eruptions were identified through tephrochronology and radiocarbon dating of volcanic deposits.
2. Late Pleistocene Activity:
   • Evidence suggests earlier eruptions during the late Pleistocene, though precise dates are less well-constrained. These events contributed to the volcano’s formation and growth.

It is under watch right now for a possible eruption. Before 1953, Mount Spurr’s eruptions were prehistoric, with no written records or observations. Mount Spurr’s prehistoric eruptions are primarily studied through geology, but their ash layers provide valuable tools for archaeologists.

The 1953 eruption of Mount Spurr in Alaska was classified as a VEI 3 (Volcanic Explosivity Index 3) event. This eruption on July 9, 1953, produced a significant Plinian ash column reaching approximately 21 km (70,000 feet) in height. However, the volume of erupted material (tephra) was estimated at around 0.021 km³, placing it within the VEI 3 range (0.01–0.1 km³).

There were earthquakes in 2004 and debris flows by 2005. That was 51 years from 1953. Since this should be fractal, I would suspect there was probably a big one around 5200 years prior. This could be building to a big one above VEI 5 by 2031/2032. It should be coming alive here of the 72-year cycle from 1953 which brings us to 2025. We may still be looking at a VEI3 or VEI4 for that would leave the door open for a bigger one by 2031/2032.

For comparison, Mount Spurr’s 1992 eruption was rated VEI3/VEI 4, with a slightly higher tephra volume (-0.055 km³) and a plume height of 14 km. The distinction underscores that VEI considers both eruptive volume and secondary factors like plume height and eruption duration. The 1953 event, while explosive and impactful, did not meet the volume threshold for VEI 4.

Understanding the VEI

Each VEI level represents a tenfold increase in erupted material (e.g., VEI 4 is 10x larger than VEI 3). Higher VEI eruptions produce taller plumes, injecting ash and gases into the stratosphere (VEI 5+ can affect global climate). More significant eruptions (VEI 5+) are less frequent but more destructive.

VEI 7: Tambora (1815) ejected 160 km³ of material into the atmosphere, thereby reducing global temperatures by -3°C, known as the Year without a Summer in 1816.

VEI 6: Pinatubo (1991) released 10 km³, causing global cooling by -0.5°C.

VEI 5: Mount St. Helens (1980) erupted 1 km³, but did not alter the climate yet it was devastating 600 km²

Global Trends By Martin Armstrong: ‘It’s Being Driven Largely By Underlying Economics’

QUESTION: Dear Mr. Martin Armstrong:

I hope you are well and enjoying your front-beach house, in the Sunshine State. I ask you:

1. What is better for U.S.A., right now?
2. Is a strong U.S. Dollar or is a weak U.S. Dollar?

I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

Juan
Santiago of Chile.

ANSWER: Potential risks in Chile include a global recession reducing demand for copper into 2026, political instability in Chile, and eventually, a stronger US dollar, making emerging market assets less attractive. While Trump wants a lower dollar to sell more widgets, the problem remains that the push for war in Europe provides an underlying demand for dollars. In addition, the EU is rushing to cancel the paper currency and move to digital as part of the capital controls that have been put on the plate. It does not matter what Trump wants for the dollar; neither he nor any country can alter the fate of the currencies, which are set in motion by many things, especially war.

In Europe, they are not about to suddenly surrender to their Marxist socialist agendas. “A New World Order With European Values” adorned the banners and signs at the World Forum meeting in Berlin. They have declared that the greatest threats facing humanity are the resurgence of populism and free speech. They are advocating silencing anyone who disagrees with them. Just amazing.

The LEFT is losing ground, so this is when they become more authoritarian. They justify themselves by saying that populist movements have victimized the people, so this also leads them to conclude that free speech must end.

This trend is dominant in Canada and Europe, and the countertrend has been Argentina and Trump in the USA. Despite Trump’s idea of a weaker dollar, the lack of common that has engulfed the LEFT, where they refuse to admit that they are ever wrong, will have a profound. impact on the next two years.

Chile’s politics will hinge on the constitutional process, economic management, and societal demands. President Boric faces a critical window to deliver reforms, but polarization and external pressures pose risks. The right could capitalize on setbacks, setting the stage for a contentious 2025 presidential election.

President Gabriel Boric (left-wing coalition Apruebo Dignidad) has been in office since March 2022. His administration focuses on social reforms, environmental policies, and reducing inequality. Challenges include managing economic stagnation, inflation, and public security concerns. The success in Argentina has the potential to become a contagion, and South America could rise as a restored economic land if it finally sheds the LEFTIST agenda that has stagnated the economy overall.
