The Donald Trump Ruling Was Actually About You
Did you think the Donald Trump ruling was targeted at Trump? I've got news for you, and a bit of a warning, it's targeted at every person who owns property in the United States.
Donald Trump, like many of you, approached the bank seeking a loan in order to purchase property. The bank assessed the value of the property in question, and the assets Trump was using to get the loan, and decided it was good. Thats not all, Trump paid back the loan, the bank got their money, everything went well.
The government in New York, out of nowhere, decided on their own that Trump had obtained loans fraudulently. Despite testimony by the bank to the contrary, the judge in the case ruled without trial that Trump was guilty. They then fined him an unplayable amount, and are planning to take his properties. Who gets the property? Its not the bank, its the government. Let me say that again, the bank that was supposedly defrauded does not get the properties, the government does.
I have seen this story before, in China, under Mao. Take notice, because they will use this same mechanism to take your property from you.

Should you Upgrade to Full Frame? Full Frame Vs Crop Side By Side
Should you upgrade to full frame?
Any content creator spending time online has probably come across people talking about the latest and greatest full frame cameras, but is it really worth the cost of upgrading from your smart phone or crop sensor camera? If you saw footage from the two side by side would you be able to tell the difference?
Today we are going to find out just that by filming very similar clips with an APSC (crop sensor) Sony a6500, a full frame Sony a7iv, and finally an iPhone 7. Will you be able to tell the difference? Will I be able to tell the difference?
Hopefully seeing them like this helps with the decision.

Intermittent Fasting?
I'm trying out intermittent fasting. Why? I have been feeling tired here and there, maybe not having the clarity of thought I would like to have, and not wanting to rely on coffee, I thought it might be time to start improving my health.
It seems that you don't eat during certain parts of the day, in my case I chose morning and night for that. Coffee is allowed, but what coffee to choose?
The experience is not easy, though not as difficult as you might imagine. Let's see if this turns out to be the solution for my current health status.

Why Does Everything Suck Now?
Why does everything suck now?
Oh hey! Welcome to the underground you rebel scum, this is the American Expat. This question has me struggling to get out of bed and face the world. Why does everything suck now? Don’t worry, I’ve actually been up for hours, that’s why my hair’s all fixed.
Finally out of bed and ready to work, we can tackle the genesis of my question about why everything sucks now. My son was sick the other day, and finding myself without necessary supplies to deal with it, namely a thermometer, I went to Wal-Mart in search of said supplies. Unfortunately they were closed, and so was everyone else that might have what I needed. When I left the country everything was 24/7, it was so convenient. What happened? How did we go backward?
Another thing that sucks now is the supermarket. Anything good or healthy costs a fortune. I brought up this fact with someone, and to my surprise they had a fit. They started foaming at the mouth telling me about how the economy was better than ever, and to look at the stock market. What has the stock market got to do with the supermarket? Besides that, isn’t it the same thing? Both markets keep getting more and more expensive. A regular poor like me can’t even think of getting into the stock market, its hard enough to buy bread.
Another example of everything sucking these days is fast food. I went to McDonalds and was charged about 10 dollars for a Big Mac the other day. What’s the federal minimum wage now? $7.25 per hour? Can you imagine anyone agreeing to do a job for an hour and a half if they were told all they would be getting is a Big Mac at the end? No wonder young people aren’t interested in work, everything sucks now.
Somehow we have to fix things so that it doesn’t suck anymore.

Exploring FengYang County
What should you expect when going to China as a foreigner? What about going to rural China as a foreigner? This video explores Fengyang country, a small city in China’s Anhui province. The place is small, but once it was to be the capital of an empire. Back then it was called Ming Zhongdu. Before the site could be completed, the first Ming emperor was prevailed upon by his advisers to move the location to modern day Nanjing. This was his hometown though, at least it was nearby. It’s a fascinating place, and I hope you join us for a look around.

The Best Camera for Viral Videos!
What's the best camera for viral videos? According to many social media gurus out there, a new camera is the solution to all that ails your efforts. Is that true though? Im not going to beat around the bush here, you probably don't need a new camera. The one you have is the best one for you, to get started anyway.

Swimming in Lies
We are swimming in lies. Everything we see on social media and the news is so convoluted its hard to make heads or tails of it. Everything from corporate wokism, like with Bud Light and the Dylan Mulvaney situation, to the state of our currency.
Its both worse and not as bad as you have been told all at the same time.

Banana Republic
With Trump's indictment, we now live in a banana republic. This destroys all legitimacy of the rule of law in the eyes of the people. Its going to get rough from here.

The World is Spiraling Out of Control
The world is spiraling out of control. Banks and markets are completely unstable, 300 thousand NATO troops are being moved to the border with Russia, Trump is possibly going to be arrested this week, and China is being pushed into the open arms of Putin. Sounds like this week will be an interesting one.

Is It Really Safe?
We are now several days into what seems to be a serious banking crisis, and the government is telling us its all safe, but is it really safe? Regional bank stocks rebounded today, but rumors are swirling that big depositors are moving their money from regional to stronger national banks in record numbers. There are also reports that the FDIC only has enough money to cover half of the deposits at the banks they took over this week. Is it really safe? Do you feel safe?

Banks Going Down More Rumblings (03-13-23 Afternoon)
If you have been watching the market today, or checking main pages of your favorite news outlet, you would believe things are going fine despite all the worries over the last few days. The reality is that many regional banks have lost as much as 80% of their value over the course of the trading day. I don't know how the DOW and S&P are rising despite that, but they are. Trading has been halted on many of the struggling banks, and the bond market is going crazy.
