The Chaos Chronicle - 7/6/25

The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemies. ~Napoleon Bonaparte

As I began to reflect on the chaos of the week, I thought back on the previous two weeks. It’s hard to believe that just two weeks ago we were gearing up for a military parade in Washington DC, while the Marxists prepared for their “No Kings” protest. It’s even harder to believe that it’s only been a week since the Iranian nuclear facilities were obliterated and the Secretary of Defense told the media to ease up on their Trump hatred and wave an American flag. Time flies when the story is constantly changing.

This week’s chaos appeared to revolve around our financial system, as President Trump’s support of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' and his criticism of the Federal Reserve seemed to converge. Could these developments mark the early signs of The Golden Age? Will The Golden Age consist of a separation from the Federal Reserve and the adoption of a new form of currency?

The OBBB reportedly contains sweeping tax cuts while the Federal Reserve continues to hold us hostage with high interest rates. Many people, myself included, have probably learned more about the Federal Reserve in recent years than they ever knew before. The Federal Reserve of St. Louis created an animated video explaining the role of the Fed, although if you’re from the Schoolhouse Rock generation, you may be disappointed in its quality and substance.

President Trump started ramping up the pressure on “Too Late” Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Since he was appointed by President Trump during his first term, Powell has become the latest “is he working with or against Trump” character. Regardless, the spotlight was drawn to him again this week when President Trump posted that he should resign:

Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte has increasingly complained that high borrowing costs are damaging the housing market, and he’s pressing Congress to investigate Jerome Powell. The Fed Chair can only be removed for cause, and Pulte is bringing attention to Powell’s political bias and deceptive Senate testimony.

We’ll wait to see if anything develops in the coming days, but a drop in interest rates would probably help to kickstart the economy. Last month, President Trump said dropping interest rates by a full point would be economic rocket fuel. This week he said that the One Big Beautiful Bill would make this country into a rocket ship. It’s only a matter of time before The Golden Age blasts off (I couldn’t resist continuing with the metaphor).

This week the Senate passed President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill. Prior to the vote, Senator Chuck Schumer objected to Republicans moving forward with the bill without reading it on the Senate floor. He’s got a lot of nerve. Is he trying to remind us of one of the stupidest comments ever made by Nancy Pelosi when she was Speaker of the House in 2010? Referencing the Obama Healthcare Bill, Nancy Pelosi said, “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.” When Republicans try to pass a bill, the Democrats demand everyone read it. When Democrats try to pass a bill, they pass it first, then tell you what’s in it.

Speaker Mike Johnson announced that the House would be voting on the Bill by Thursday at the latest. It was unclear if they were rushing the vote to get back to their vacations or if they wanted to pass it before Independence Day as some type of patriotic message. Somewhere in the deep recesses of my mind lingers the image of President Trump at Mount Rushmore celebrating Independence Day in 2020. The patriotism displayed at that event was moving and I wonder if there wasn’t a greater message in his appearance there. Who can blame me for thinking that? There seems to be a greater message in everything.

The Bill is set to add trillions of dollars to the national debt which either angers or excites most people. Those who believe we need to lessen the debt are angry that so much debt has been added, while those who believe we need to bankrupt the entire system are excited that we’re getting close to doing that. There are so many theories I’m not sure if adding the debt is a positive or negative for President Trump’s plan, but I trust that he knows what he’s doing either way.

After 29 hours of debate, Congress passed the bill. Democrat Rep Hakeem Jeffries spoke for 8 hours and 44 minutes. Wow. I can talk a lot, but that’s embarrassing. What is it with the Democrats who pretend to be preachers? I’ll admit that I didn’t listen to him because, well, I have a life. Mike Johnson scored one for our team when he stood at the podium and said, “Ronald Reagan said one time that no speech should be longer than 20 minutes. And unlike the Democrat leader, I’m going to honor my colleagues time and be a little more brief than that,” delivering the punchline he said, “It takes a lot longer to build a lie than to tell the simple truth.”

The trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs wrapped up this week. He was acquitted of the charges of racketeering and sex trafficking, the two most serious charges against him, and was found guilty of transportation of former girlfriends for prostitution. The stories of his “freak offs,” hundreds of baby oil bottles at his home, video of him abusing his girlfriend in a hotel hallway, the sick things we imagine he did to Justin Bieber, all seem to have just fizzled and died. No disclosure of the Epstein files, no exposure of Hollywood or the music industry. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for October 3rd, if he makes it until then. Is anyone taking bets on whether he’ll commit suicide alone in a cell with broken video monitors?

President Trump and Elon Musk’s bromance is on rocky ground again, or so we’re led to believe. Elon criticized “every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history,” vowing that “they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth.”

Musk is reportedly so upset about the Bill that he threatened to start a third party to take on the Democrats and Republicans.

Is their feud real or kayfabe? President Trump pushes for the Big, Beautiful Bill and Elon attacks it. Both men have valid points. President Trump praises the bill as the biggest tax cut in history, providing major investments to border security and the military, and claims we’ll have growth in record numbers.

On the other hand, Elon agreed with Senator Rand Paul’s Tweet in which he criticized the Bill for exploding the deficit, and called it a Debt Slavery Bill. Are we being given a lesson of the long term damage that these massive spending packages have on our country? Chances are, most people don’t read them – including the politicians who vote on them.

After weeks of hinting at it, and after conducting an online poll on X:

Elon announced that he would form a new political party.

The New York Times reported that he hadn’t filed the necessary paperwork by Saturday night but pointed out that Musk posted that the America Party would be active in elections next year. Since we live in such chaotic times, it’s impossible to know if this is a move that President Trump supports. To the average person, Elon is working against President Trump. But is he? How would a new party be any different than the other two parties? Would an America Party just contain all the RINO’s who don’t support President Trump? Hopefully, there will come a day when the chaos ends, our elections are fixed, and we can clearly see the direction political candidates want to lead our country, regardless of party. In his 2016 Inaugural Address, President Trump told us that he is returning the power back to us.

“Today’s ceremony, however, has very special meaning. Because today we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, or from one party to another – but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People.”

Do we need officials who have a loyalty to a certain party or do we need Americans whose opinions and goals for the country match our own? How many times have we seen every single Democrat pull together to vote as one for or against a bill? People on our side point this out all the time. It’s used as a weapon against the GOP for not sticking together. Representative Thomas Massie is constantly attacked for voting against the Party. Is he a grandstander or is he voting based on his principles? In his book 1984, George Orwell provides an image of group think, of not thinking independently in order to go along with the group. Isn’t that what the Democrats do? Is that what we’re expecting Massie, and others, to do? Isn’t “voting along party lines” the same thing as group think? Is the very idea of another political party, and the discussion of the party system another disclosure for us?

With chaos comes contemplation, and a lot of it.

The week ended with Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene posting of her intention to introduce a bill to end weather modification:

All the chemtrail deniers should now be questioning that conspiracy theory. That was once me. At one time, I was skeptical of the idea that our atmosphere was manipulated. It would be horrific to learn that we’ve been poisoned so the elites could push their climate change scam. It’s hard to deny the idea of chemtrails when Tennessee and Florida banned weather modification. Why would you ban something if it didn’t exist?

If I had taken the time to investigate further, I would have found the Weather Modification Reporting Act of 1972, which requires anyone conducting weather modification activities to report it. In 1976, the National Weather Modification Policy Act was adopted directing the Secretary of Commerce to develop a policy on weather modification. The concept has obviously been around for a long time. It may have been introduced as a benefit to the American people, but that’s probably not the case. Again, the thought of our government unnaturally affecting our weather in order to push climate change, or for any other nefarious reason, is overwhelming.

When I step away from the chaos and look at the big picture, I can see how far we’ve come in the last ten years. Still so immersed in their day to day lives, many people don’t recognize the huge shifts we’ve experienced. What will the next ten years look like? Will the world be mostly peaceful? Will our food, air, water, and environment be clean, leading to healthy and happy people? What will our government look like? Will we have a party system or will power be returned to us, the American people? Will we have a new currency and restructured financial system?

This is why I want to document this period of our history. I remember how close we were to losing what our founding fathers built for us. Someday, I want to look back on all of this and remember not just what we lived through, but how much better the country became because of it. I want to be able to tell my grandchildren that I was alive during the greatest Presidency in American history – and I recognized it from his first trip down the escalator.
