Thank you for joining us. There are several reasons for this change:
NCRenegade’s database was so large after fifteen years that its performance was degraded. This site is able to incorporate new changes in WordPress that NCRenegade was not able to use. However, NCRenegade.com will still be available as an archival site but no new articles will be posted starting today.
It is recommended that this site be viewed in landscape mode on a cell phone.
The submission field to subscribe to email will either have “enter your email” or a prefilled email address from a currently logged in program other than this site. If the prefilled email address is overwritten, it will still submit the originally prefilled email address. WordPress says this is a feature. If you want a different email address than the prefilled address, you will have to log out of that program (such as gmail) and then restart the AR site.

Will this have any impact the middle class American with an existing mortgage, credit card debt and/or college loan?
The Federal Reserve’s December 2025 rate cut of 25 basis points to a 3.50%-3.75% target range will have limited direct effects on middle-class Americans with existing mortgages, credit card debt, or student loans, as most impacts are tied to variable-rate products or broader market responses rather than immediate changes to fixed-rate obligations. However, it could indirectly ease some borrowing costs over time, particularly for those able to refinance or with adjustable elements in their debt.
In other words, we have no benefits from this cut. So what is the point?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Question to Grok:
Will this impact the interest paid on the national debt?
How the Rate Cut Affects National Debt Interest
The U.S. national debt—now exceeding $36 trillion—is financed through Treasury securities with varying maturities. Interest costs are determined by the yields at issuance, not the Fed’s short-term rate directly. The federal funds rate influences:
Short-term debt (e.g., Treasury bills maturing in under a year): These yields track the fed funds rate closely. The cut will lower borrowing costs for newly issued short-term Treasuries by about 0.25%, providing minor immediate relief. Short-term yields dropped post-announcement, with the 2-year Treasury yield falling 4 basis points to 3.578%.
Long-term debt (e.g., 10-year or 30-year bonds): These make up the bulk of the debt and are more sensitive to market expectations for inflation, growth, and fiscal policy than to Fed cuts. The 10-year Treasury yield dipped only 2 basis points to around 4.16%-4.18% immediately after the cut, reflecting muted market reaction amid concerns over tariffs, deficits, and only two projected Fed cuts in 2026. The 30-year yield held steady near 4.80%.
About 40% of the debt is short-term or adjustable, so the cut could shave tens of billions off annual interest over time as maturities roll over. But with the average maturity around 6 years, full effects will lag.

Since the Trump Administration is spending money at a faster pace than Biden, the impact of a lower interest rate on an increasing national debt becomes meaningless.
BREAKING: Tim Burchett just TOOK THE GLOVES OFF and called out the person suspected to be behind the stalling of his bill to stop paying the Taliban. This is HUGE!!!

There is an essential step to restoring our Republic: disband the existing Congress. Declare martial law based on the existential threats to the security of the country, disband Congress and hold new elections with a secure voting system.
Until we restore some semblance of a legitimate government, we will continue our descent into evil.
So @PatrickByrne just made 4 explosive assertions 1 – He is a CIA operative (has a confirm letter) 2 – Trump advocate Ric Grenell is compromised 3 – CIA Director John Ratcliffe is compromised 4 – DOJ's Todd Blanche is suppressing evidence
“We have no more estate tax. The kids would go to the…bank, and they'd borrow money to pay the estate tax, and they'd end up losing the farm,” @POTUS Trump announced the removal of estate taxes on American farmers Monday to support American farmers and the agricultural sector pic.twitter.com/S606lDO8yQ
Good news but we want more. More Arrests. Tina Peters freed and compensated. Secure elections. Secure streets. Get rid of Bondi, Patel, Johnson and Thune. Deport Omar. Remove the FED. Anyone else want to add to this Christmas list?
Republicans in Congress have decided to toss the midterms. They want to lose their Senate and House majorities. Then Trump can be impeached again. This will create baggage for JD Vance, and allow the chickenhawk war monger establishment to take power back, and do amnesty.
Questions that are often asked such as “When will we stand up? If not now, When?”
Sadly my answer and the answer that is becoming apparent is – NEVER!
This is such an important time in our history. Corruption that we have known all along has been exposed. Crimes against our country have been exposed. Criminals have been exposed. Traitors have been exposed. So much evidence and yet – NOTHING!
All of the many abuses and unconstitutional acts committed by these evil people in our government over the years – Exposed. The abuses of government against the Constitution have been tightening the noose around the neck of the Republic. Actually, I don’t think our Republic any longer exist and hasn’t for some time. They hanged us, we just don’t know it yet.
Why have we not acted? Why have we not done something about all this evil long ago? Honestly the vast majority of this population believes that their vote matters. Even after witnessing all the tampering with our elections in plain sight, they just don’t want to believe that Evil people have taken over our country. 2020 should have been the blow that set off the Revolution. Instead everyone just said we’ll get them next time. Think Trump is on our side?
Evil has chosen communism. They have taken over our country. And people like us are marked for extinction.
The ballot box is lost. The jury box is lost. That leave us with the cartridge box.
But people aren’t hungry enough. People are still comfortable and entertained.
Every day that passes and we remain complacent, Evil wins.
They want us dead.
I’m tired of watching Evil win everyday while trying to shelter my children from it. Pretending like everything is fine in this world so that my children can have the appearance of a normal life is exhausting.
War has been declared on us. They are killing us. So many have been killed and yet the criminals continue to walk free. This is the time in American history when it all hinges on the individual to take action! Yet, we sit and wait, while the vast majority of our population plans on voting in perpetuity.
I know most everyone is hoping for a leader. Someone to lead the charge. Sadly after all this evil being exposed and nothing being done, I don’t see that happening.
So, you think that the kinds of “reforms” passed after Watergate in 1972 weren’t rules that the two parties EASILY…
