Lest We Forget

Today in Canada (Remembrance Day) and the United States (Veterans Day) is a day that has been set aside to honor those who have served and are serving in our respective armed forces – it is their collective bravery that has given our 2 great nations the freedoms that we enjoy and often take for granted.

Recently and over the decades, many of our soldiers have come home with all sorts of scars – physical scars, emotional scars, and mental scars. Others have not walked off the plane onto North American soil but rather have been carried off in flag-covered coffins. They have paid the ultimate price. They have given their lives for freedom.

The other common name for this day of course is Armistice Day which marks the date and time when armies stopped fighting World War I on November 11th at 11:00 am in 1918 (the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month). Ten million combatants would die, including 60,000 Canadians and 116,000 Americans, before the “Great War” ended with Germany’s defeat on this day 102 years ago. The last 100 days of that war was an epic Canada-dominated finale that began with an all-out attack on German positions on August 8, 1918, a major turning point for the allies.

Here at BMR we hope that you will join us as we remember and honor our men and women who have served and who are serving in our armed forces, protecting our continent and standing up for freedom and liberty throughout a world that is more dangerous than ever. We are truly grateful for their bravery and sacrifices.

May God continue to protect and bless our 2 nations at this critical time in history with threats and conflicts around the world.

Israel – the only democracy in the Middle East – continues to battle a multi-front war against radical Islamist extremists, while attacks against Jewish people around the world (even in North America) have proven, unfortunately, that anti-semitism still exists.

Freedom, in all of its forms and manifestations as we have been reminded, should never be taken for granted.

In Flanders Fields

By Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, May 1915

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead: Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved: and now we lie
In Flanders fields!

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you, from failing hands, we throw
The torch: be yours to hold it high
If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

What a wild couple of days this has been!

Donald Trump pulled off something incredible Tuesday night – he pretty much ran the table to become the 1st President since the late 1800’s to win non-consecutive terms.

Wall Street didn’t hide its enthusiasm.

The S&P 500 jumped 2.53% for its best post-election day in history yesterday.

At BMR, well, we got attacked by suspected Trump haters mid-day Tuesday and the site was knocked off line for about 3 hours. GoDaddy technicians did a great job getting us back in business but our comments section is still disabled (and subscribers are having login issues) – technicians continue to work on fixing this. Our apologies – we’re not the 1st Vancouver business to be targeted for its conservative views. That has been the way of the left these last 4 years, in the United States and Canada, and that’s in part why Trump won big Tuesday.

Indeed, he ran the table. Jon’s piece July 14 was incredible, prophetic:

What’s Next After Trump Survives Assassination Attempt

Thankfully an overwhelming win yesterday prevented the Dems from delaying results and trying any funny business (like they did in 2020).

Any nefarious efforts are now being directed toward the House of Representatives.

For the MAGA movement to really flex its muscle it needs a majority in both the House and Senate. Looks like it’ll play out that way, but final official numbers from the House could still be a few weeks away. Republicans have secured a solid Senate majority.

Obviously, given their blind hatred, the crooked lame-stream media was shocked to see his landslide win! They have been crying buckets of tears.

There was maybe a moment or two when things looked like they might be close but really never were. Americans of all shapes, sizes, color, gender, religion, and persuasion (Democrats included) voted Trump. Winning the popular/majority vote was a cherry on top. The lame-stream media has been totally and completely discredited. Don’t think they could dig themselves any deeper, but they’ll try.

Their ratings might actually improve if they had a collective intervention to talk about how they couldn’t see what the majority of Americans were/are seeing.

TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) is real, though, and tough to shake.

Case in point – first thing yesterday morning, New York Attorney General Letitia James took to the stage campaigning against President Trump and Republicans. She promised she’d get him and she’s a “guardian of the law” who’s ready to fight back (sounded threatening). Many believe James should be disbarred and fired given her clear bias. The hatred in her heart was on full display – it was a disgusting, shameful performance from a public official who swore an oath to uphold the law.

Letitia probably doesn’t realize people like her are 1 of the reasons we voted Trump!

Re: The Numbers

I was shocked to see totals were lower! But makes you wonder again about those massive numbers in 2020.

I was not the only one as this was a hot topic on social media yesterday.

That 2020 result for Democrats (Biden) is such an outlier.

Many saying the staggering anomaly from norms is “proof” the last election was rigged.

An argument to explain that away says the huge increase was caused by or a result of mail-in ballots.

But if so, why was the huge decrease this election so 1-sided?

The celebration is over and the hard work for the Trump transition has already started.

It’ll be super interesting to see how Trump manages things and his adversaries this time around. He’s obviously learned a lot and experienced a lot since his 1st term. This time he’s got a “dream team” behind him, including JFK Jr., Elon Musk, and J.D. Vance (maybe Ron Paul too, and many more).

Things won’t be all sunshine and rainbows under Trump the next 4 years. Hell, last time we had the China Virus dropped on us. Stock and housing markets are at all-time highs, perhaps due or past due for a correction/crash.

Don’t be surprised if that happens on Trump’s watch, but he’ll fix it.

Of course, there’s always a bull market somewhere and we will keep you posted on what’s working and why.

Should be a great finish into year-end and Inauguration Day.

TRUMP DEFEATS HARRIS, REGAINS THE WHITE HOUSE 

AMERICANS REJECT WOKENESS AND WEAKNESS

Donald Trump completed the greatest political comeback (resurrection) in American history tonight, securing a substantial Electoral College victory over Vice-President and Democrat challenger Kamala Harris that may also come with at least 50% of the national popular vote – a decisive outcome few were predicting, though we called it here at BMR.

It isn’t just a triumph against the Biden-Harris administration and its failed policies since 2021 – it’s a victory against the biased and corrupt mainstream media which increasingly became an extension of the Democrat Party’s propaganda machine over the past 4 years.

Trump has forged an historic new Republican voter coalition, with huge inroads among Blacks, Hispanics, union members, and young people.

He won on policy and personality, overcoming multiple indictments, 2 assassination attempts (God spared his life for a reason), media hatred, and the country’s “elites” to become the 1st President to win non-consecutive terms since Grover Cleveland in the late 1800’s.

Republicans have also flipped the Senate and will have a solid majority there. The House of Representatives, where Republicans have held a slim majority, is still too close to call but odds favor the GOP retaining its majority (making it a Trifecta for Trump).

Investors are excited.

Markets are embracing the stunning Trump victory with Dow futures up 800 points. Bitcoin has surged more than 7% to a new all-time high above $74,000, while Gold has slipped about $20 an ounce.

Canada is also a big winner tonight. American trends often move north, meaning the noose is getting even tighter around the neck of Justin Trudeau.
